Transformation Of The Mind Tuesday -Health Is Wealth

The idea that living an healthy and active life is boring or too expensive is just another way of saying that we are not worth it  and our health is not a priority. The truth is when we are intentional about investing into our health is when we begin to live a happy life. When we are eating well , getting active , fueling our minds , and protecting our peace , we have more energy ,we are happier, and kind  to others. Let us commit to making  the world a better place by becoming a better and healthier version of ourselves.

Healthy Lifestyle = Happy Life

Have you ever noticed that in the gym is where you will find some of the politest, and happy people? At first it caught me by surprise for me it is very rare that a stranger smile and says good morning with so much excitement especially at 5 a.m. That was so amazing to me and I will say it is one of the many things that attracted me to making living healthy and active as a lifestyle. I thought to myself if everyone had the same attitude as the people in the gym did the world could possibly be a much happier a place. In doing my own research I learned   that some of the key benefits to exercising are; happier moods, better sleep quality, improved concentration and creativity, reduce stress level and anxiety, and helps maintain mental fitness. In my own experience I can agree with this statement because of the choice to change my lifestyle I have been a happier person.

Two years ago, before I became a health and wellness coach I will admit it did not take much to get me upset, my anxiety was at a level ten. I was Unable to be a hundred percent attentive to any task, I was always low on energy, no real interest in doing much. I was in no form to be productive on work days my stress level was sky high and I can remember a lot of rest less nights. Fast forward to august 2015 a good friend and co-worker at the time and I decided to attend a fit camp, in search of different ways to change how we were being on a day to day basis. Of course, it was super challenging and hard we thought we were knocking on deaths door literally, but what was shocking and amazing to me was how great I felt after. It was like a burst of energy came out of nowhere and gradually I noticed the changes in our attitudes. It was at that moment we found the desperate change we were looking for, so we started making exercise a priority daily and nutrition commitment. This was one of the choices that will always be the most important part of this new beginning. I can go on forever to tell you the major change making this adjustment to our life style has created.

“Love Yourself enough To Live A Healthy Lifestyle ”

I learned that the reason we always felt bad was because we ate bad, a lot of people don’t realize that we are what we eat and what we spend time doing. If you sat and ate junk a whole day the results of that would be feeling tired, lazy, and that usually brings forth being in an unpleasant mood majority of the time. The days that I did not work out or was being inconsistent with my nutrition plan were the days I felt completely off and out of balance. With that self -observation I had to make a choice, so I chose to be consistent with what helps me to be a happier and healthy person and commit to sharing that light with others. It is a choice that begins with us changing our mindset, we cannot live a happy life with bad habits, it is important to set your intentions on producing good results daily. My secret to living a happy life is to pray, exercise and Eat well, this unlocks the door to better and brighter days for me and everyone I meet. It is not that it gets easier you just get better and you begin fall in love with how amazing you feel, how you look, and even who you are becoming during this process. Happiness begins with health taking care of internal health and our minds produces happier thoughts, being productive and pure Joy. This does not mean that your life will be perfect you are just better equipped to take on life challenges with a smile.

Over Coming Obstacles

Too often in our lives we find ourselves focused on resolving issues on the surface without ever acknowledging that everything starts within us. As much as we would like it not to be an internal issue with ourselves because, then we are unable to place blame on anyone else. Deep down we know that some of the things we struggle with are not from the present it is simply our mindset of living in the past.  Refusing to let go or move forward from an experience that may have been very traumatic or unexpected which made you feel hurt and confused.  This is very common, but it can be the cause of a lot of turmoil and mixed signals in our adult lives, which can and will be the reason we are unable to reach our true potential in life and fulfilling our purpose.  The only reason we are afraid to work on the problem internally is because most people are afraid to admit their struggles for multiple reasons. One they fear looking weak and being labeled as a troubled soul, they allow their past experiences to mean something about themselves.  The things of our past while growing up a lot of the times these were things we did not choose they were just our circumstances at the time.  The sad truth is when it is over and done, we are now responsible adults if we continue living in the past and operating from that space as if things are still happening to us now that is our choice.

 We did not choose the battles we would have to fight and the things we had to go through but we do hold the key to over coming them. We have one or two choices we can continue to live as this thing is still happening to us, or we can choose to identify the problem, get clear with how it made you feel, release it and not allowing it to mean anything about you. By not taking responsibility for another person’s action or the unexpected events in your life you are already won half the battle and understanding that what they did is on them and how you move forward is on you.  They have an old saying that goes ‘what don’t kill you will only make you stronger”, if what you went through was meant to break you then that is just what would happen. Nothing in life is an accident or a coincidence, if after the storms come and they go we look around and realize that you are still standing rejoice. Rejoice and act in turning that pain into prosperity be free in it, do not hold it as your secret and keep nurturing it in your mind. If you can take on being confident knowing that what you have been through does not define you and will not control you that is the secret to growing beyond your fears.

“Strength doesn’t come from what you can do
It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t”

Every morning upon rising I encourage you to look yourself in the eyes and say I am whatever I desire to be. The things that I have been through molded me to get here today, they do not define me neither do they control me. I am in charge of my happiness there is nothing too big or hard for me to overcome if I focus us more on what I want to manifest in my life and not what I do not want. I am fearless and open I may have been at my worst before but I am still a diamond in the rough. I am not waiting until I arrive to shine I will shine in the dark, in the mud and in all my trials because I understand that, happiness is a choice rather than a label or due to succeeding externally. I am content with who I am while working daily on loving who I am becoming and all that is in my life. Each day we must set our intentions on being in alignment with the process of life, trusting our intuition and allowing our inner purpose to guide us freely. God is always with us our duty is to be the passenger and allow him to be the designated driver.

Lose Your Desire To Be Right

The desire to be right will rob us  entirely of our true  purpose in life , we will miss out on the lessons  and all that life really has to offer us . I encourage everyone to take a moment to  appreciate life whenever we are in the face of adversity. I challenge you to ask yourself  is being right more important than my peace of mind and happiness? Because  in the end God has the final say so, trust that  he makes no mistakes and remember time heals all wounds.

Vision Quest

“Sometimes Your Circle Decreases In size But Increases In Value .”

“Make this year a year of fulfillment, joy, peace and purpose” This was a Promise I made to myself coming into 2018. The moment  I wrote this down and said these words out loud I was now responsible to fulfill this promise to myself. Once we put things out in the universe it is our responsibility to align our mind and our actions to achieve the things we desire. On this journey you will find that the more persistent you become and the more time you spend in communication with God divine things begin to happen.  I believe everything and everyone we come across on our journey has a purpose and reason, nothing is an accident or a coincidence. God always placng us in the right place at the right time giving us exactly what we need and removing what we do not. Taking the time to be on purpose daily is a much harder task than it is easier said.  I wrote this to encourage you all to keep working, keep watering your seeds to grow everything does not happen as fast as we may want them to, but it does not mean they won’t. Anything that comes fast and easy are just as fast and easy to lose, which is why we should trust the process and appreciate the journey. I want to share that just by me clocking in with passion to my purpose day in and day out I have been getting rewarded with new experiences and amazing new people in my life.

I have been experiencing  pure joy and peace that fuels me to push harder and dig a little deeper. Every day when I think I can’t do any more I continue to surprise myself, you truly never know how strong you really are, until being strong is the only option you have.  I had a vision of what and the people i thought would be apart of my process , that included specific friends and family members but like always God is always protecting us. Meaning that  when things happen not according to our plans ,when a  sudden change occurs  that when you look around  people and things are no longer present understand that  they were not meant to be there. Our responsibility is not to dwell on the changes  our job is to accept  everyone is just not welcome on your journey. Keep moving is what I have to tell  myself I have no time to waste or chase people that do not wish to be around. Understand that everything and everyone has a season ,the  only thing I am committed to chasing is my dreams.  There is no need to discuss or focus on the negatives because, I will say since God has been removing he has also been replacing with new things and new people. Opening doors and new opportunities ,so how can I ever be sorry about  Gods plan. I am filled with gratitude, joy and fulfillment  as I continue to live on purpose. I challenge everyone today to let go and let God direct us in our purpose and be open to letting go and leaving some things and people behind for the load is just too heavy for this new chapter of our life, we have a flight we are boarding to elevation.
