How to navigate seasonal change with intention & gentleness.

Today, I said “You are enough” AND I meant it for the first time in my life - HOLY SHIT that felt great! Today, I was FREE of shame, criticism, and judgment. I saw my guard staring back at me in the mirror and we became friends. It’s okay to just be - we are finally free.

Calm an overactive mind with curiosity & compassion, and feel a radical shift in your mindset. Do you ever feel like your thoughts are bouncing around like pinballs in your mind? I can totally relate, which is why I love finding simple, feel-good practices that I can do whenever I’m in need of a reset, to help regulate my emotions and to feel a profound sense of inner peace.

I honor and accept all parts of who I am, most importantly today in celebration of World Mental Health Day. When we rise up and elevate one another, we’re shifting our mindset, evolving, and creating space for vulnerability and gentleness without judgment. We collectively build a world where mental health is a priority and not a burden.

If you struggle with a fixed mindset & shifting your perspective, I get it. Give yourself grace when adjusting your mindset. With consistency, practice & patience you can & will shift your perspective. This indirectly affecting your energy & peace of mind.

Have you ever taken inventory of your daily habits? Do you know the ones that make you feel amazing? Do you have those? If you’re struggling to create a new habit, or just not sure where to start, I can relate. My hope is that you trust yourself to take inspired action, because that’s the first step in the process of transformation.

When I gained clarity around why I exercised & how I wanted to feel that I was able to shift my perspective and truly approach my movement practice with gratitude & gentleness. Once I understood how I wanted to feel it was so much easier to show up for myself each and everyday with a fresh perspective.

What is the cost of not taking intentional action to shift into the life you desire to live? If you believe in your heart that what you are currently doing does not serve you, what will it take to make a change? There will never be the perfect time. The right time is when you trust it is time.

Evict the voice of your inner critic & notice the shift in your mindset. Because of the deep discovery work & ongoing self care I practice, my authentic self is proud and humbled that I no longer need that inner critic to protect me. Instead, I have the tools, support & self compassion to let her go – to close that door & allow myself to grow, heal & forgive.

Meditation & Mindfulness are less about an instant shift or immediate relief, but take a bit more time – more about the process, trusting it, and showing up consistently with curiosity and interest. There is no good or bad way to practice mindfulness, rather it’s the ongoing experience and feeling of confidence, courage and clarity which are the building blocks to create a sustainable habit that feels easy and effortless rather than forced and controlled.

You’re not broken, you do not need to be fixed. Instead, simply begin to notice patterns where you go into “fixer” mode and interrupt the thought, feeling or emotion that’s holding you hostage. The need to fix creates a roadblock to aligning with your authentic self.
