what thoughts are you feeding yourself consciously or unconsciously.

The issue is not if you are a size 2 or 22, the issue is, what do you believe about your body and what thoughts are you feeding yourself consciously or unconsciously. Iyanla Vanzant 

At the start of the year, a few of my friends have decided to make changes with their bodies, how they eat, how they move their bodies and how much attention they are paying to their health. The start of the year provides us with an opportunity to reset. 

I jumped on board the train wanting to take the opportunity to reset. Of course, in doing so, I had to reflect a bit on my "why"

Am I willing to make this change part of my lifestyle?

Are my thoughts about my body healthy?

What is the motivation behind losing weight, and having a "six pack"?

When I answered those questions honestly and got out of ego's way, I feel pretty excited about going on the journey to being healthy. The focus is on a healthy lifestyle, eating foods that nourish my body and not putting unnecessary  pressure on myself.

The focus is also on the thoughts I allow to feed me, this forms quite a huge part of the journey, what am I telling myself about my body, about food, and how do I respond to those thoughts.

Everything in alignment - thoughts, words and actions.

So, here we go...

The journey to a healthy lifestyle begins now

Peace and Blessings

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

Image
  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
