Love & Life Elevated

Yes, today I'm talking about mindful movement again, and how it contributes additional years to our lives. But more importantly, it's when we combine movement with kindness or a kind disposition, that may reverse cellular aging by as much as 15 years. 

This is a little bit about a "little bit" of movement and life extension. A daily slow walk is good - it's going to extend life expectancy. But twenty minutes a day of a bit faster walking may extend your life around four years. Take that walk into a slow jog, or a run...watch to learn more.

Only your own corrupt decisions can pollute your mind. Get clear about what is and is not within your control. Look around and see what's decorating your life. Does it contribute to your clarity of purpose or does it corrupt the truth of who you are?

If you're feeling tired, triggered, sad, exhausted... you're not alone. Uncertainty is all around us. This connects to a very important aspect of our mental health. The key is to look at where you have certainty in your life. Get really present with that. Grow your compassion and conviction.

Allow gratitude and empathy to be your superpowers. Gratitude is medicine that we can express to feel more possible. They help transform our sense of anger, pain, and sadness into possibility.

Your dharma is your high calling, your purpose, vocation. There are four things I want to share with you about dharma - it's something that all of us are here to do. Put your dharma into the world and karma comes back to you.

True belonging is the practice of believing in and belonging to yourself. Risk being seens. Find others right where you are. You are not alone. Hold the vision of belonging to yourself.

There is so much upheaval going around right now that I just want to root myself deeper into peace, purpose, and truth. I invite you to recognize where upheaval has taken you away from your truth. Why not just be love, in all conditions? Deepen your certainty through loving yourself.

You might be surprised to learn about what I'm about to share with you today. It's about how walking contributes to peace, hope, and a better state of being for all of us.

Perfectionism is not the theme for 2022. Friends, often time we mask our so-called shame underneath the guise of perfectionism. I'm here to change that perspective and give you another perspective on making 2022 the best year yet. 

Circulate your goodness and expose yourself to love and kindness. Show up with your heart out loud. When you do this, you encourage the production and release of endogenous opioids - the ones we produce in our bodies - helping to decrease inflammation and kill pain. Let's come together on this.

Pursuing a high and mighty purpose may be your intention for the new year. The ability to persist in all odds comes down to willingness and autonomy; setting intentions that are deeply personal and bigger than us.

Some subtle ways we are suppressed is that we look t others for cues on how to act and how to believe. Don't be shackled by the beliefs of others. Give yourself the freedom to think for yourself. Live filter free.

How will you use your time on the planet? Live for something bigger than yourself. What if you put the finishing touches on your life every day!? Live a life fulfilled.

What are you carrying around that is no longer the truth of who you are? What versions of you are connected to relationships that no longer serve you. Come alive into your truth now.

Working fewer hours may actually be better for our health. Working overtime (more than 40 hours) creates inflammation in the brain. Twenty-five hours may be the sweet spot. It comes down to purpose and doing the type of work that truly engages your intention.

We have an opportunity to choose words and the way we speak to ourselves and others. There is so much room to improve all the "stuff" that is coming into our brains, our lives.

Never underestimate the power of a few people to change the world. How do you dedicate your craft in such a way that it wakes up the whole world? Create a new channel of energy and inspire yourself and those around you.

Here's a spiritual intervention to help you keep a high watch through the holiday season. Give of yourself to others. Here are five things that happen under the influence of kindness.

How often have you reacted or overreacted to something only to regret it a few seconds later? There is a space of grace that can happen every single day by doing one thing - for just four to six minutes daily.

It's easy to get swept up in what's going on in the world right now and fall into a state of lower vibration integrity. I'm talking about things like gossip, judgment criticism, dehumanization. It is so necessary to rise into unreasonable high vibration integrity - love, light, kindness, intention - and get really clear about what makes you come alive and what personifies love.

We have an opportunity in these next few weeks to release that which is no longer serving us.  This is about connecting with the parts of ourselves that may be broken, or challenging. Let's put our energy into people and places that need our love, our heroism, our courage to heal and move forward.

Self-efficacy is all about belief in oneself, self-confidence, and a strong sense of self. Not everyone is born with a strong sense of self-efficacy. Efficacy can be developed and rewritten.  Allow your life to become a service for others.

The number one motivator to exercise is simply this: feeling good. It helps you, helps me, feel more possible. And if you need more motivation than that, know that it starts with just one minute per day. 

If you feel overwhelmed by everything going around you, it's time to lift your chin up and get back to what you know is true. Be aware of what you allow into your personal space. Decorate your life with people and places that lift you up. Own your truth. Do not give yourself away.
