Love & Life Elevated

Inside all of us are some powerful energy transfers and transmuters. They are called mirror neurons. We can put them to good use by seeing others with soft eyes. Allow trust to beget trust and build bridges to really see one another. 

Have you ever been told that you are eccentric? How did that feel? Did you feel like a possibilitarian? Deviating from conformity moving into possibility into the world of unknown - it's time for being a living demonstration of a life well-lived. Move away from the center and live with unusual zeal.

Now is the time to bring incremental optimalism into our lives. We will never be perfect. Perfection lies on the path. Our ability to show up for and embrace life comes down to increments - vulnerability, self-love, truth.

Grit is the way that we all need to face to pursue our purpose. Today I'm talking about things that help build grit. Some things may surprise you. For example, smiling - it's like a magic maker for grit.

Let's galvanize people and simply love. Be a bridge builder. We extend our own genetic activity when we do our best work. Move into a creative space and access divergent thinking. Spend time outdoors and take in nature.

Between early 2020 and now, loneliness has only increased. Along with that comes a 50% increased risk for early death and three-fold increased risk for stroke or heart attack. The solution begins with acknowledging how you feel, being vulnerable, and reaching out, beginning right here.

Today's message is about Eudaimonia - when we are living in full alignment with one's deepest values. Living your highest values and expression directly correlates to lowering inflammation and risk for overall mortality.

Today I'm sharing a message that I've shared with thousands of people over my course of clinical practice. Become a witness to your own beauty, your talents. Commit to being a little more awake to the good that you already are and that you already have.

Are you tired and wired? Gandhi once said, "There is more to life than increasing its speed." This is a favorite quote of mine. Mindfulness is one of the most beautiful and powerful practices we can bring into the world. This is all about gratitude and connection to the heart.

How is what you are putting in your body showing up with how you are out-picturing in the world? What is your ROI - your return on ingestion? Today I am sharing some nutritional approaches to building your bliss, increasing your happiness, optimism, motivation, energy, and mental fitness. 

Perhaps you've had a similar upbringing as me, perhaps not. Have you allowed yourself to really feel and give yourself permission to let go of toxic shame? Shame is an addiction that weighs heavy on many of us. The antidote to that is "naming to tame"  and letting go of perfectionism.

You do not need to be on top of all things at all times. I am simply suggesting that we be courageous enough to "not know" what's going on. But to connect deeply with our hearts' knowing. Be someone that others want to be around. It's that simple.

The opportunity for optimism begets hope. This is the number one quality of leadership. Underneath all of hope are love and possibility. There is a vulnerability like no time before. People are searching for heroes. People are searching for hope. Show it, love it, be it.

Today I'm talking about the meaning of words. It's about the word, genius, in particular. The word genius means "spirit power." The power of your spirit to come through you. And I'm sharing this from my personal experience with dyslexia and what I perceived early on as failure. 

"We are at the beyond reason point of our evolution..." ~ Caroline Myss. Common humanity needs to come together to support and encourage one another. We need to find ways to come together and let go of personal agendas, where we are only after what moves our personal needle.

Begin with love as your prerequisite ruling principle. Allow love to be your primary "drug" and oxytocin the primary compound. Companies and communities survive and thrive on circulating trust and oxytocin. Commit to circulating love. Thanks to Sarah Gilks for the awesome t-shirt!.

Begin each and every day practicing kindness. I am sharing five elements of kindness and what happens under the influence of kindness. You'll improve and increase your happiness, and the joy of others around you. It is a heroic time to stand for kindness.

Returning to the place you got lost, choosing to be found and being authentically true to you.

True belonging is a spiritual practice. Do not betray your heart's knowing. Tap into the inner honing device that guides you to your tribe - a group that holds you, heals you, and hears you. Allow belongingness to guide you to your wholeness. Stand for your truth. 

I'll admit it, I geek out talking about oxytocin. We know we can build oxytocin through hugging, connection, words of appreciation. And we know that higher levels of oxytocin contribute to heart health, inner peace, and longevity. But did you know you can also build oxytocin by eating certain foods?

Today I am talking about sympathetic dominance. It's that feeling when we're wired and tired; when we don't love ourselves and others the way we know we should. We'll focus on the vagus nerve, which controls how well we handle stress. Let's build resilience together.

Every single one of us has a. healing energy inside of us. It happens just by being present with other human beings. It happens with self-compassion, empathy, and being involved in the community. Show up. Make good on your good intentions.

Today's message is all about distinguishing between our drama and our dreams. How we live our lives says a lot about how much we prioritize inner peace. no matter what your story, dedicate yourself to your dreams. Elevate yourself through self-love and discipline.

This is all about moving from burned-out empath to empathic badass. I am giving you powerful practices today to support your empathic self and move you to a greater place of purpose and vitality. Get outdoors, break a sweat, engage creativity, set boundaries, and more....

There's a small town in Italy, Acciaroli, where residents enjoy a long, healthy, and mostly stress-free life. They have a large percentage of centenarians, residents that live at least to be 100 years old. What's the secret? You'll have to tune in!
