How often do you rest?⁠ ⁠ I read a post today How often do you rest?⁠ ⁠ I read a post today that said each aspect of your life affects every other aspect of your life, and I started thinking about how true that is! ⁠ ⁠ Each small decision and action builds upon the next step you take. ⁠ ⁠ Sometimes that is in the right direction. Sometimes that leads away from the path we want to head down and we find ourselves lost in the whirlwind of life’s duties and expectations. ⁠ ⁠ I typically use meditation and yoga as my mini getaway each day. But there are times when my routines get out of whack. When this happens, I know I need to reset. ⁠ ⁠ I recently took a long weekend away with my family to recenter and refocus before our new baby arrives. ⁠ I think it’s important to build times of pause and rejuvenation into our daily lives. But sometimes we have to step away to rest, and that is okay too. ⁠ ⁠ You should never feel guilty for taking time to rest. I know that that is a difficult mindset to get into. Guilt tends to creep around every corner. However, you cannot give your best to the world if you do not first give the best for yourself.⁠ ⁠ Remember to take some time to rest.⁠ You deserve to rest.⁠
You will get where you're meant to be, at the perf You will get where you're meant to be, at the perfect time.⁠ ⁠ Love this reminder from @kimseclectickorner⁠ ⁠ #repost #growth #mindfulness #inspirationalquotes #meditation #quotestagram #healthandwellness #mindfulliving #beyou #healthyliving #selflove #gratitude #mindful #livefree #believeinyou #beextrayoga #instaquotes #loveyourself #kindness

What Is Stress?⁠ ⁠ Stress is simply your biolo What Is Stress?⁠ ⁠ Stress is simply your biological or body’s response to a circumstance or situation that you perceive as a threat or challenge.⁠ ⁠ This response was created to protect us in the wild from predators and dangerous situations. When we feel something may harm us, our fight or flight response activates, and we become stressed out.⁠ ⁠ This was good for us way back in the day, if we needed to suddenly fight off a wild animal. But now, our stress response is turned on by less dangerous situations that don’t really need a fight or flight response. ⁠ ⁠ If we are constantly cycling through states of stress, meaning that we have chronic stress, this can be detrimental to our physical and mental health. The fight or flight response is only supposed to be temporary and used when really necessary.⁠ ⁠ If you are chronically stressed, you are in this heightened state all the time.⁠ ⁠ So how do we break the cycle of stress?⁠ ⁠ Learn about the stages of stress and how to break these stress cycles at the link in my bio!⁠

Have you ever gone back and forth on something ove Have you ever gone back and forth on something over and over and over again, until finally you made a decision, and poof, everything seemed to work out?⁠ ⁠ After, did you sit and wonder, “Why didn’t I make that decision sooner?”⁠ I’ve been there so many times.⁠ I've been there recently.⁠ ⁠ What I have come to understand, is that the reason it works out is because when you finally make that decision, you decide to believe in it.⁠ ⁠ What we believe will happen will happen.⁠ What we believe to be true will show itself to us.⁠ What and who we believe ourselves to be will be how we present ourselves to the world.⁠ You will be as much or as little as you believe you can be.⁠ Believe in the goodness and greatness of who you are.⁠ Believe in the gigantic and over-the-top things you can do.⁠ Believe in the truth of who you are - one with God.⁠ Believe in love and you will be love.⁠ ⁠ We can only be that which we believe ourselves to be.⁠ I am deciding to believe in myself. What about you?
You are the most constant thing in your own life!⁠ ⁠ I love this reminder from @girlandhermagic to invest in yourself!⁠ ⁠ #repost #growth #mindfulness #inspirationalquotes #meditation #quotestagram #healthandwellness #mindfulliving #beyou #healthyliving #selflove #gratitude #mindful #livefree #believeinyou #beextrayoga #instaquotes #loveyourself

Our brain is so powerful! It is constantly analyzi Our brain is so powerful! It is constantly analyzing and putting bits of information together, to help us become smarter, sharper, faster, and more critical thinkers.⁠ ⁠ This was so important to us centuries ago, when we needed to learn things rather quickly for survival. But now, in a much safer world, it can be distracting, overly critical, and can cause us to feel fear when we are not in danger.⁠ ⁠ Try to step out of all the millions of pieces of information being put together in your mind. Instead, look at things like it is the first time we can see them. This means subtracting all past experiences from getting in the way.⁠ ⁠ We may see a new outcome that wasn’t there before. Or you might notice something really great and beautiful about a person by looking at them with a beginner’s mind.⁠ ⁠ Having a beginner’s mind is a way to practice mindfulness throughout your day that can be super beneficial to you in your life. Plus, it is so much more exciting to experience our daily lives like it is always the first time.⁠ ⁠ Learn about the pillars of mindfulness and how I practice mindfulness in my daily life at the link in my bio!⁠

What is the Best Diet for Energy and Weight Loss?⁠ ⁠ Here’s the thing, I hate using the word diet because I think it is full of problems in our society. It is associated with fads, extreme restrictions, and eating unhealthy meals.⁠ ⁠ When I talk about diets, I truly mean your diet – the food you put into your body. The best way to eat, that I have found (after being a serial dieter with some body image issues), is an anti-inflammation diet.⁠ ⁠ I have tried all the diets! Science and experience have proven anti-inflammation eating works wonders on your health, to help you lose weight, and to find your ideal weight.⁠ ⁠ When you combine this style of eating, that helps you remove foods that cause havoc in the body like soy, with the mindfulness aspect of yoga, you will not only see big weight loss results, but you will see yourself creating a new lifestyle.⁠ ⁠ This lifestyle is how you will keep that weight off and stay healthy and happy. I teach exactly how to do this – what to eat, what not to eat, how to eat and the best methods of eating for this positive lifestyle in my Mindful Elimination Program.⁠ ⁠ Read more about the Mindful Elimination Program, and how I pair this with yoga for weight loss at the link in my bio!⁠

I find that we are all seeking three universal tru I find that we are all seeking three universal truths.⁠ Validation.⁠ Empathy.⁠ Love.⁠ In my own life, these three truths have been drivers of EVERYTHING that I do, desire, seek, and reach to achieve.⁠ ⁠ I often find myself asking these questions literally or subtly in each action that I take:⁠ “I think you are great, do you think I am special too?”⁠ “I get you, do you understand me too?⁠ “I love you do you love me back too?”⁠ ⁠ Each question is thrown out to the world, pleading for an answer to fill up my cup. If I don’t get the answer I am looking for I wonder what have I done wrong? What can I do to win the world over?⁠ ⁠ If only I achieve more.⁠ Be more of this.⁠ Look a bit more like that.⁠ If I can just –⁠ ⁠ But what truth lives within these three emotions?⁠ I don’t need validation because I am already worthy.⁠ I am enough just as I am.⁠ I don’t need you to love me, because I am already made in the image and likeness of pure love.⁠ ⁠ This world tells us we need to look for these things “out there” but they aren’t anywhere but within here - within you.⁠ When I am weary from the search, I have to remind myself to pause, be still, and know that all of it – every piece of what I need is already within me.⁠ ⁠ I am worthy.⁠ I am enough.⁠ I am love.⁠ I am love.⁠ I am love.⁠
