Loving and Finding Yourself

I once thought this was a very simple process, I once thought I had found myself and loved myself. Why I started this blog and ultimately the purpoe of this business is because I am slowly finding out that life is about constantly being reborn and discovering yourself and more importanly not only loving yourself but continuing to love yourself. I want to help others rediscover themselves through wellness not just in the physical sphere but the mental, emotional, and spiritual sphere as well. Wellness does not just emcompass the physical body. But the stresses and the anxiety that exisit in an emotional and mental level can significanntly affect our physical body. The good and the bad, we all have that part of ourselves we don’t like and don’t want to share. I very recently came to realize the scars and wounds that I thought I buried in the past decades ago thinking they were gone. But that was just it, I buried them and covered them up rather than acknowledging they were there and worked through it. So when they came to be re exposed and reared their ugly head, it was a rude awakening for me and a very hard lesson in life to learn. It was a painful but necessary step to begin to heal from the tramuas and scars from the past. To acknowdelge parts of myself that I did not accept or love. Then to be able to over come and transfrom into a new enhanced version of myself. I will not say that I am fully there and I am certainly not human, but I am quickly taking steps everyday to get there. I am a better version of myself now than I was a few months ago. It is ok to not be ok, it is ok to feel vulnerable and to experience your emotions. It is important to let them out and not bury them or bottle them up. I have done that for far too long and trust me the longer I waited the more difficult it was to address these parts of myself, my wounds that I never addressed. I am not able to love others or even help others until I love and respect mysefl first. You are valued, you are number one, you are special and unique and always remember that.

Every new day is an opportunity, to start new, start over and to manifest the life you want. It starts with our thoughts, it starts with what we entertain and the feelings we give into. Through discipline, and integrity even through the hardships we fortify our strengths and our ability to grow into a better version of ourselves. Everyday we strive to connect more and learn. Please know that you are important, that you are worthy of all the happiness and joy you could imagine and want. We must embody that which we want to receive, we must be at an energetic match. It does take time and effort, but I know in time you can and will achieve that which your heart desires. May the epiphanies continue to find you and reveal themselves to you, may your eyes continue to be opened. May this prayer reach your heart and soul when you need it most. May the light of who you are grow ever bigger and brighter, much love to you. May peace & joy envelope you today and everyday and reinvigorate your life with meaning and new found purpose. To whoever is reading this, you got this! You are stronger and more powerful than you know.

Wellness vs Illness

Often times we do not make time for our health and wellness. In a busy world we can easily take this for granted as we get caught up in the everyday needs of life. Weather it is work taking up most of your day or extra curricular activities or family life. There is something taking up our time. However if we do not take the time to invest in our health and wellness we will eventually be forced to take time for our illnesses and diseases.

It’s so easy to try and put a price tag on wellness saying well I can’t afford to eat a healthy diet (which sadly I get it, healthier foods tend to be more expensive) or we tend to say we don’t have enough time to make swim thing healthy so we go to a fast food place to grab something quick. (In a busy lifestyle it is easy to get caught up in that routine) especially if you are on the road constantly. It’s easy to say a personal trainer or coach isn’t something I have time for or can afford.

Even for some people they may say well I don’t use my health insurance so why would I need it? (I myself haven’t used it in decades. Yes I still have it) but one way or another it tends to catch up to us someday. When that day comes – what will the real cost to you be? It could be as simple as a few missed days or work or it could be as extreme to a ER visit for a few days. It could be as simple as rest for a few days or it could be as extreme as a major surgery or a major lifestyle change.

I always encourage small steps towards health and wellness. I know as a busy professional myself it can be easy to take health for granted. Not having time to workout, not having time to make healthier meals, or or not even wanting to spend the money because you want to use it for other things. But wellness doesn’t have to be an big time consumer. Even with as little as 5-10 minutes of added exercise or physical activity a day can make all the difference in the beginning. Even just adding a smoothie to your day by throwing in some fruits and vegetables in a blender and it’s as quick as that. Or slowly reducing the amount of liquid calories in a day as well such as carbonated beverages, or lattes, or alcohol. (Though smoothies are a great way to get liquid calories)

The only difference between wellness and illness is we and i. Sometimes for those who try and do it alone end up with illness, but for those who are willing to seek help (even if just a workout buddy) end up with wellness. Don’t go at it alone if you are unsure of what to do to better your wellness. Seek help and guidance. In the end you will be happy you did.
