Wellness Warrior, Relational primary food is on my heart today. How my sometimes pride-filled blind spot drives less constructive behavior, and how that erodes my true self, and the spirit of others around me, is on my heart today.• •• Humility, as C.S Lewis says, is thinking of yourself less. It’s less about WHO is right, and more about WHAT is right. It is about pausing long enough to gain the necessary elevation to see what healing and harmony calls for, and how YOU, can help bring that about. How YOU can position yourself to help bring that about.• •• Humility is the cornerstone of all healthy and fulfilling relationships. It is the cornerstone of powerful leadership, and of empathetic, well adjusted pockets in society. Relationships are the cornerstone of every home, every organization, and every great movement.• •• Can we be in agreement then that happy homes lead to happy communities, happy cities, countries, and ultimately a happier world? • •• Can we be in agreement that there is an opportunity for us all to search our hearts for pride, and usher in humility?• •• It’s a choice to allow space for humility, it’s a choice to contribute to the above vision of happier homes and society. How? By aligning yourself with acts of humility.• •• Ways you can invite humility into your day right now: 1. Make room for someone in traffic 2. Listen more, talk less 3. Step aside with a smile 4. Praise others 5. Serve your community • •• If you need some suggestions on how these five invitations could look like, ask someone - that’s a form of practicing humility too 😀. Take her by the hand, and welcome Humility into your home today.• •• Rise Wellness Warrior, RISE! #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #beyourbestself #thrivepursuit #thrive #relationalhealing #relationships #primaryfood #heart_imprint #life #yogaoffthemat #healthyhome #healthylifestyle #fitnesstransformation #humility #soulwork #stretch #grow #refinery #mindful #meditate #breathe #quotes
Wellness Warrior, Take a few deep inhales and exhales and try this one on for yourself. Be with “rich” and “poor” in the literal sense as it pertains to money. Notice whatever thoughts come up for you. Note them down, tell your mind you’ll be right back, and keep reading. • •• Now be with “rich” and “poor” through the lens of self fulfillment. How would you rate yours on a scale of 1-10? Note that down for yourself too, as well as any accompanying thoughts. • •• There’s money rich and there’s soul rich. My wish for us all is to have an abundance of both. My wish for us all is to invite both in wholeheartedly - with the belief that YES I CAN and YES I AM! • •• Yes I CAN attract financial wealth when I value myself and my contribution on this planet. • •• Yes I AM a multidimensional creation with a variety of soul level needs that deserve to be met. • I love this wisdom from Dr John Demartini: Our values determine our financial destiny. You must know your values as they determine the goals you go after in life. • •• Guilt and Shame Prevent People From Receiving Abundance. • •• A key part of building wealth is by being receptive to abundance in your life. In other words, do you feel worthy to receive abundance in all its forms? • •• Abundance can take the form of love, good health, wealth, pleasure, friendship and the list could on. • •• People are often comfortable with some forms of abundance but deep down they don’t feel worthy to receive others. You are worthy because you were created by the Divine. Thank you Dr Demartini. PAUSE. Let that land. Breathe into it fully. Go back to your initial thoughts. How have they been enriched or altered? How have they been challenged or confirmed?• •• Wealth in whatever form requires an energetic exchange. Giving and receiving love. Giving and receiving money. In order for their to be ease and flow, an open and receptive channel is required.• •• How willing are you to be that channel?• •• Rise Wellness Warrior, RISE! #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #beyourbestyou #thrivepursuit #primaryfood #financialhealth #abundande #abundancemindset #serve #contribute #goalsetting
Gah! These two! #heartmelting 😍 Shout out to my hubby @jpsobrevilla for spending a fun and activity filled morning with our Mountain Flower whilst mommy got to put her #wellnesswarrior cape on. •• •• It’s so energizing to rub shoulders with, and learn alongside men and women answering the call to support those in pain, suffering, and addiction. Thanking God for each one of you. #wellnesswarriorsunite •• •• Grateful to @kirkmsamuels for his time, expertise, powerful testimony of addiction to freedom, and willingness to say YES to slaying a giant that has millions and millions held captive. More a about that giant, and the powerful new perspective I have now thanks to today’s training, in tomorrow’s post. #staytuned •• •• Grateful to have a husband that supports my two greatest “Whys” - being a hands on mama and empowering others to thrive.

One of my favourite pics of our little getaway to Utah with my brother in law David. See how Aureli is sticking out her tongue as she examines the bear’s mouth? Hehe! Such intentional contact and focus! • Many U.S cities and towns incorporate sculptures and points of interest that offer PAUSE moments. Moments to stop and read a bit of history, capture a memory, notice your surroundings fully, and a moment to stop and breathe! • When we first drove by this lil’ beauty, an elderly couple was sitting enjoying an ice cream on the bench. The old lady looked like she was sitting in the crook of the bear’s arm whilst joyfully eating her treat and chatting with her spouse (I assume). The scene put the biggest smile on my face. Simply delightful. • So often we rush from one point to another - missing these opportunities to PAUSE. Start noticing how often you look down at your phone instead of up at the person walking past you. How often you’re looking down instead of up at the brilliant blue sky or clouds. How often you miss a smile, a sunset, or an elderly couple enjoying ice cream. These are the things that put life back in perspective. Look up loved one. Look up! #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #beyourbestyou #thrivepursuit #exploring #primaryfood #utah #parkcityutah #saltlakecity #memories #healthcoach #healthymama #pause #be #still #breathe #yogaoffthemat
The more I listen to the anger experiences of my fellow classmates, and the more I learn about anger, the more I notice how few of us are taught to be with, and deal with this emotion in a healthy way. • Many of us learn it’s a less desirable quality and in turn stuff into our baggage trunk thinking it will go away. It doesn’t. We judge it, we misunderstand it, and we neglect the feelings attached to it that are aching to be acknowledged, (and most probably fueling it). Eventually something cracks and it all comes pouring out. We say and do regretful things we can never take back. We lose all contact with our true selves and reality. Been there, done that. • Last night a fellow class mate described how he feels possessed by another entity when enraged. How he knows to stop and somehow can’t. So much of the healing has to do with us learning to trust ourselves again. Learning to forgive ourselves. • Anger is normal and healthy. It can be a powerful ally if you allow it to be the internal warning system it is designed to be. It’s less about controlling anger and more about hearing it I feel. It’s less about striving to never get angry, and more about learning what a full spectrum of healthy feelings expressed looks and feels like. • I’m all for positive thinking. I’m all for affirmations and mantras that build you up and fuel momentum. I’m also for allowing room for anger and learning how to communicate what it wants for you - more sleep, more connection, food!, a different job, home, city, whatever! • What does your anger want for you? • #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #beyourbestyou #thrivepursuit #healthymama #healthcoach #recoveringpleaser #anger #boundaries #angermanagement #life #lessons #stretch #growth #growthmindset #ptsd #depression #anxiety #motivation #inspiration #relief #trauma #therapy #mentalhealthawareness #bestill #forgiveness
Little Miss Aurelia Aven digging into her very berry (cherries,blueberries, strawberries and blueberries) and chia concoction. A scoop of vegan protein powder and oatmeal to the mix and voila! Cooling, refreshing, and most of all nutrient dense for this little grazer. I’m loving that the cold is soothing her gums too (four teeth coming through)! As much as we loved our little adventure to Utah, we are very happy to be home and have certain “teapot” elements (as @elizabeth_gilbert_writer would say) back in the mix. Our cold press juicer and smoothie maker are definitely on that list! Grateful to be sitting in the sun with the pups writing and refueling whilst my little Mountain Flower plays in the dirt and checks in for a bite or two. • #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #beyourbestyou #thrivepursuit #healthymama #healthytoddler #healthcoach #mommyandme #vegan #smoothiebowls #wellnesscoach #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #fitness #values #priorities #nourish #life #love #berries #myexperimentalkitchen #plantbasedfood #denver #colorado #everychoicematters #sunshine #littles #toddlermeals #toddlerlife #toddlermom
This little face and I celebrated 20 months of life together today with some puddle jumping, mud plodding, and some good ol’ fashioned fun playing in the dirt in the backyard #letthemeatdirt . I’m not sure which was the bigger treat - watching Aureli go at it her way after my demonstration, or watching the expressions of passers by delighting with us. One elderly couple was kind enough to stop and share their memories of puddle jumping after the rain. So special to all be generations apart, raised on different continents, yet so connected by this childhood treasure we all share. Think back to your wonder years. What past times lit you up most? Imagine what it could give you to get reacquainted.... let your inner child out to play! #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #beyourbestyou #thrivepursuit #mindfulmama #healthcoach #creative #healthyliving #relationships #joy #childhood #yogaoffthemat #innerchildwork #innerchildhealing #love #heart #letyourlightshine #mycelebrationdance #throughyoureyes #mommyhood #denver #colorado #goodbyesummer #helloautumn
In awe of how a simple change in pace and atmosphere can shift you from your innermost core. Shift you instantaneously into calm. Into peace. Into joy. From the onset I felt anticipated and welcome. Thank you for your warm hello Maree. Thank you for the beautiful space you have created. I felt the depth of the family legacy between your four walls. I felt the attention, care, and love. Thank you for the buffet of herbal tea, delightful cups, and delicious infused water. It’s those little things that hinge my soul to joy and much happiness! This captured moment was sheer bliss less than five minutes after my arrival. 90 minutes later, I felt like I’d been on retreat with a soul sister that happens to perform magic with hair. I left with a bucket list item checked off my list (donated my hair), and left feeling lighter in every sense of the word! Julia, thank you for making me feel like you had all the time in the world to see, and tend to me. Thank you for holding space for a big release and fresh start.

There’s “living in the now” and then there is “living now”. Motherhood has been the ultimate teacher in mindfulness - being fully immersed in the present moment. It has also been the ultimate challenger in making time to nurture other relationships, and myself. There’s so much emphasis placed on what we put into our mouths, as opposed to being mindful of that, AND what we are depositing into our hearts, minds, and souls. What and whom we are inviting into our homes (or not), what work mission we are committing to from deep seated enthusiasm and love (OR what we are white knuckling through to cover expenses). What we keep prioritizing over what we yearn for and dream about. The stuff that makes us feel alive, fulfilled, and like we are living NOW. So many of us wait. So many of us procrastinate. So many of us resist flying high on the daily invitation (we all get) to live boundlessly. I do. I clip my wings. I hold myself back. I tell myself no, you’re not good enough yet. Motherhood has spotlighted superpowers I didn’t recognize in myself until now. I am a patient and consistent nurturer. I am a loving and kind teacher. I am fun, flexible, and creative. I am these things (and more) with my little one. It flows out of me with ease and grace rooted in the deepest love and commitment. The opportunity beckoning to my resistant self - transferring that genius to other parts of my life. Allowing me to shine for me. Allowing me to fly high for me. Allowing me to own the other missions God has made me for. Bravely, consistently, fiercely. Powerfully. Impactfully. ME-fully. Today I choose to marvel at how light and dark, flow and resistance all coexist perfectly to propel me forward, to keep me anchored. To keep me connected to my God-inspired, imperfect humanness. Today I choose to hope and believe in all the good that I am. Today I choose to trust in my ability to open my wings to love. Trust in my ability to live today now - fully and imperfectly. You can too. The choice is yours. Press the reset button. Live now.
Happy International Breastfeeding Week! • It’s been 18 months and counting and I wouldn’t have it any other way. • 90 minutes after birth, my little Mountain Flower had successfully completed her breast crawl and latched. “Trust and allow the process” and “nose to nipple” is all I had to remember. She did the rest. Thankfully she didn’t have any lip or tongue ties to make latching challenging. Thankfully we were both well enough to be given the necessary space for primal instincts to lead. Magical beyond words is the only way I can describe it. • I’m grateful for the funny moments of watching Aureli do her nursing yoga and acrobatics. I am grateful for the tender moments of gazing deeply into one another’s eyes. I hope I always remember the sensation of those little fingers tracing the outlines of my nose and mouth. Sheer bliss. • To to the mamas that have tales of painfully chapped and bleeding nipples. The mamas that commit to pumping for their little ones - even if all there is, is a teaspoon full. I salute every one of you. Every drop is liquid gold. • To my breasts, WHO KNEW!! I am in AWE of you! Thank you for being the source of nourishment, immunity, and comfort. • To countries like Australia who embrace breastfeeding women - even in parliament! To brands that “get” the importance of creating family friendly spaces in their stores. THANK YOU! Women shouldn’t be ushered into toilet cubicles and shamed for wanting to feed their children. • Breastfeeding has been an integral part of my initiation into motherhood. It’s been healing, empowering, and enormously rewarding. I trust as the tide of awareness rises, more women will stand in their power and claim their right to nurture their young. Healthier women and babies leads to a healthier world! • • #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #thrivepursuit #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingweek2019 #healthy #nourish #normalizebreastfeeding #healthcoach #breastival #denvercolorado #awareness #educate #lactationsupport #postpartum #doulawisdom #doulasupport #trust

With love to all of you on the journey to self acceptance, self forgiveness and self love.... 💌 If you have been following along for a while, you know the first step to any growth and change is AWARENESS. What does that look like when it’s at home? It can be as subtle as you doing a double take to let this post land.... strike “the chord” if you will. It can be as subtle as a shift in breath - a much needed inhale. The signposts we hope for in life are not always going to be major light bulbs moments and fireworks. Lean in.... love in.... you’re worth it. 🐝 • • • • #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #beyourbestyou #thrivepursuit #selflove #forgiveness #awareness #growth #pause #reflect #inspiration #motivation #live #love #learn #angermanagement #anxietyrelief #depression #igers #healthcoach #lifecoaching #iin #yoga #yogafaith #yogaoffthemat #health #healthy #fitnessmotivation #fitness #emotionalhealth
Imagine a world where we all enthusiastically approached one another with open curiosity and wagging tails. • Imagine a world where we looked up at passers by. Looked into one another’s eyes. Nodded, smiled, waved. Acknowledged. • It begins with each of us. It begins with a willingness to be out of your own world for a moment, and in your senses. It begins with noticing all that is around you and allowing it in. The aromas, the sounds, the many people representing opportunities to connect. • My little Mountain Flower and I just got back from exploring our neighbourhood and leaving #sculpturesurprises for passers by. We waved at a bus driver, chatted to a new friend Mr Vernell (a postman), and met many a furry bidder. One neighbour especially came out of her yard to introduce her doggies and chat with us. All because we stopped and made a joyful, open-hearted bid for connection. Thank you Lisa • It’s an indescribable joy to watch Aureli bid for connection and having it reciprocated. The disappointment on her little face when people simply don’t respond is crushing. Leaves me wondering what could possibly have a person so disconnected or distracted or hardened if the cutest 17month old can’t inspire a smile. Love to you all. • Look up more today. Smile more today. Allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to make a bid. • We all thrive more when connected. • • • • #affinityforwellness #healbydesign #beyourbestyou #connectionblog #adventure #explore #proudmom #sculpturesurprises #create #connection #love #earthchild #bethechange #denver #exploringourbackyard #momlife #modelinggreatness #thrive #thrivepursuit #yogaoffthemat #yogafaith #yoga #mindfulmama #bepresent #beopen #bewilling #belove #beauthenticallyyou #grace #love #acceptance

#InspireMyTuesday #HenryFord #confidence #ThrivePursuit #vikesthatspeaks #mental #thomasedison #business #Grow Are you mentally tough? What does mental toughness mean to you? Mental toughness is a choice and a discipline, not an innate quality bestowed upon the lucky. There is a critical point in your live this mental toughness is tested. Great minds were tested But look whatever the challenge may be Strong, of extra grit and daring. See things through a new lens. Take decision to breakthrough it successfully. It’s hard to be mentally tough but well fascinating. How? it sets you apart from the crowd By making you see challenges to overcome. Where others see barriers that are impenetrable. {Thomas Edison the epitome of mental toughness was tested when his factory burned to the ground in 1914, destroying one-of-a-kind prototypes and causing $23 million in damage What was his Edison’s response? very simple: Thank goodness all our mistakes were burned up. Now we can start fresh again.} The hallmark of mentally tough people are actually strategies that you can begin using today. 👉YOUR CONFIDENCE One of our facilitators shared this few days back you can take a quick rerun of it. “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t — you’re right.” – Henry Ford I have subscribe to Ford’s notion because My mentality has a powerful effect on my ability to succeed. This isn’t just a motivational tool — it's the fact. Studies have shown that confident people went on to earn higher wages and get promoted more quickly than others did. You make ask how recent it is recent. Where? at the University of Melbourne True confidence has a look all its own. When you are mentally tough you have an upper hand. because your confidence inspires others and helps them to make things happen. over the doubtful and the skittish people. My inspired word for you today is BE CONFIDENT, BE MENTALLY TOUGH To your Thrive and Success Kingsley Eneduwa {founder - VIKESTHATSPEAKS} ...defining the right pathways
#vikesthatspeaks #ThrivePursuit #thebigpush #kcdolla Push by definition means an *ACT OF APPLICATION* in the order way round it is: 👉Having an ambitious drive. 👉Having an effort of advancement. 👉Exertion of oneself continuously, vigorously for a certain cause. 👉To press,drive to an action or the completion of an action. No one is a stranger to feeling stuck in life. 👉*Its easy to become so accustomed to your daily activities, routines and things that we can forget to THRIVE personally.* 👉The result of growth is in one trying to do things beyond what has already been mastered. 👉Everyone need that *Big Push* even when we didn’t want to. #plan #act
