Good Risings

Cultivating awareness through identity mapping. Who do we believe we are? This is our life lived thus far but also the assumptions we make, and what moments have passed and our purpose in them. This is not just how we perceive ourselves, but how others perceive us.  Trauma and the effect it has on us is part of who we are. Through identity mapping we can determine our values, personality traits an...

This week we are taking listener questions. Today’s question: Recently my fiance broke up with me and I am feeling lost. We still live together, we still share the same friends, she still corresponds with my family but we are very much broken up. What signals should I receive that she is open to reconciliation? Answer: This differs depending on the situation and the people involved. The people tha...

This episode is going to focus on empowerment through your connections. Jim Brown says, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” This is a sign that you should surround yourself with the right people. You can inspire you, support you and you should do the same for them. You need people of integrity, people that follow through on their promises, people that are constan...

Transit Mars in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus. The square happens when two planets are transiting Zodiac signs that are in the same modality but different elements.  This is a time to focus on method and organization, on bending without breaking, and understanding the chaos.  What if change is part of the tradition? We have to experience change and furthermore, we have to make peace with chan...

We are talking about cultivating awareness this week. Today we talk about cultivating awareness by curbing judgment and criticism. Judgment and Criticism takes away our ability to be engaged in the present. We lose the ability to become aware because our focus is on what we feel are shortcomings of others. Our mind sees difference as dangerous. Your mind is stuck in the past. Loss of awareness, in...

This week we are answering listeners questions: Today’s question: Am I able to tell if I have been empathetic enough? If so, how? Answer: What do you do when you feel you have given enough but it is not reciprocated. When do I say I am confident enough I have done enough?  Empathy really means walking in the other person’s shoes. Empathy also means you feel like they do. In a small way you imagine...

“You can, you should, and if you are brave enough to start, you will.” -Stephen King. This is a challenge to yourself. In order to feel empowered you need to challenge yourself. Learning a new skill, sport, or hobby may be difficult, scary, and difficult. Once you have mastered this skill, you will have more confidence and feel more empowered.  Confidence is a key component to empowering oneself....

The energy will be present throughout the day!  Habits are part of routines. Morning routines are smaller habits we do every morning.  Through the lockdown we have lost external experiences. This could be routines and habit changes.  The Full Moon in Virgo is reminding us that we have to figure out which routines and habits inspire us to move from feeling decentralized and delocalized and to be or...

Today we reinvigorate manners with purpose! We know how manners can be a simple habit.  We have to understand social engagement to understand manners. We want to rid ourselves of the meaningless gestures. The purpose behind manners is crucial to understand. Why do you say “please and thank you?” Why do you cover your mouth when you cough? Why do you give up your seat to a woman or elderly person?...

Today Ashley is sharing takeaways from this week’s episodes of how to implement meditation in your life.  Start with knowing there is not a right or wrong way to meditate.  There is not a time that is better than others. Try and attach your meditation to an item that you already do daily. Attaching your meditation to a habit you already are doing daily can be effective in forming the habit of medi...

A brief recap of what we have covered. Instead of dieting, what foods give you fuel? Fast foods are convenient but they are not the fuel your body needs. Grocery Shopping with a list, a plan and shopping the perimeter of the store. Cooking for yourself is the best way to fuel your body! Remember, a healthier lifestyle begins with the fuel you consume.   Good Risings is a mindset. Adrianne Nina  fo...

Octavia Butler: “First forget inspiration, habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you are inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories, inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice. You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it is good stuff, then you get better at it. That is why I say one of the most valuable tr...

Today we appreciate the underappreciated. This may be your bank teller,  your waiter,or your dry cleaner. Few things are as upsetting as seeing customers taking out their frustrations on retail or service industry employees. We tend to see these folks on a customer employee basis.  We need to recognize how busy they are. Busy times are not the time to take more than a moment but during slow times...

When do I start to see Return on Investment with this? When do I start to see a benefit from this? Meditation can feel like a waste of time. Sitting there and doing nothing can seem like a waste of our time. Think of it like going to the gym. You do not see results immediately. The same can be said for the gym sessions. You may have reservations about going to the gym. While you are struggling thr...

Healthy Recipes and Ingredient Swaps are key to consuming food that fuel you. Cooking for yourself is better for your health than eating out. Food is mathematical, in terms of calories and also substituting good foods for the bad. Sugar and Salt need to be used in moderation. One for the health benefits, but to also help enjoy the flavors of the food. For a sugar craving, try fresh fruits. Fruits...

The Buddha said, “Drop by drop is the water pot filled.” This is a continuation of small steps, and that fast growth is overrated as we discussed yesterday.    Today I would like you to minimize external distractions and stimulations. This can be the most important way to make a focus of small steps leading to habit forming. Focus on your distractions like a phone, multitasking or outside noises a...

We have discussed Active Listening within our relationships but today’s focus is on Active Listening with strangers. This is all about engaging the world around us in a more positive and intentional way. Actively engage by asking and listening to strangers. First, not all attempts will not be successful. This however, does not mean we should not try. Think of the ripple effect like the pebble in t...

Meditation practices can be so impactful with how you relate with others and yourself.  Yesterday we discussed our thoughts wandering. The purpose of Meditation is not the idea of not having any thoughts. Your mind will stray, but how you regain your focus on the hub is crucial. Do you come back with love, compassion and understanding or do you come back with judgment? The framing of meditation is...

Buying your own groceries sounds like a simple task to some and can be daunting for others. The key to fueling your body with the right foods from the Supermarket is education. This may sound silly to some but learning to shop can make a large impact on the foods you consume. First, make a list. This is akin to not having a plan, is planning to fail. When you create a list of items you need, not w...

As we continue our journey with Habit Formation I want you to focus on Small Steps!  James Clear says, “Fast Growth is overrated.”  I am sure you can remember a time when a situation developed way too fast. Understand that our culture tries to prioritize fast growth. This could be with learning something new, starting to learn a new job or skill.  Today I want you to commit to small steps that sus...

Kindness whether you are showing it or receiving it helps people feel as part of the community. Feeling like a part of a community is important to all of us. Dopamine and serotonin are triggered from being kind as well as showing kindness. If you are showing kindness you are also not looking for ways to criticize or complain.  Today’s challenge: Find one person in your life and write them a Thank...
