This morning I woke up. I made some tea. I meditated. I journaled. I made my preworkout. I pushed play on workout 13 of my current program and then I led 3 other women through an MMA style workout - my first love. . All of a sudden, I was overwhelmed. The last time I did this workout I was 50+ lbs heavier, heavily medicated because western medicine had determined me bipolar (nope, just awakening ๐Ÿ’ซ), and really, really lost. I didnโ€™t believe in anything that I do now, I meditated - but barely and only because my therapist told me it would help, and I truly did not believe anything I was doing was going to make a difference....but something inside me kept judging me...keep going. . I was overwhelmed because the woman I woke up as this morning - I have fought for every ounce of her. I have looked into every mirror life has presented me and faced everything asked of me. I have worked hard. And I still do. Letโ€™s be real. Hard is hard. And it wonโ€™t get any easier. Thereโ€™s a always a new level and a new devil. But you get tougher. . I wish I had a secret to make you believe, but the only way is to just show up. Just try. And keep at it. Because one day youโ€™ll show up and be accidentally reminded, too. Donโ€™t quit before your proof. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’ซ
Anything that you dream and desire to manifest in your life will always manifest when your soul is in alignment with allowing it into your reality. Allow the Universe to figure out of the details and trust. All you need to do is set your intention - all is coming and it will be better than you could have ever done or imagined ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’ซ . #thehierophant #pageofpentacles

I used to be the person who let my feelings of inadequacy be the reason I completely stop trying. It can be ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐, especially online and in this community, to not get swept away in everyone elseโ€™s crazy. So what if you completed that 30 day problem in 60 days. So what if meal prepped a whole bunch of food but never actually ate it (except for the fact that youโ€™re wasting and we should definitely not do that ๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿ˜˜). Your timing is your timing. You are in the perfect body, in the perfect time, in the person space, to learn ๐ž๐ฑ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ what you are supposed to be learning here in this lifetime. . And when you finally decide youโ€™re ready? Iโ€™ll be here. So will my tribe. So will The Gratitude Project (swipe ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป for more info). 3 weeks focusing on the 3 pillars of total health - mind, body, and spirit. Itโ€™s time to level up, my friends. Link in my bio or just drop some love and Iโ€™ll send you all the info. See you soon. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’ซ

You stay unmotivated. You stay feeling icky. You stay unhappy. In fact - Iโ€™m willing to bet it just continues to spiral in the opposite direction of where youโ€™re trying to go. . Guys - if motivation was a thing...donโ€™t you think youโ€™d have found it already? How long are you going to stay a passive participant in your life? ๐Ž๐๐„๐ ๐˜๐Ž๐”๐‘ ๐„๐˜๐„๐’, ๐’๐ˆ๐’ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป itโ€™s not coming for you - you have to come for it! . Be your own cheerleader. Show up. Find a community to plug in to. Surround yourself with people and places and things that ๐’๐”๐๐๐Ž๐‘๐“ your goals. And honestly? Stop letting yourself get away with bullshit. Being the only person in control of your life is a double edge sword - you can let it be your downfall, or you can stand up and let it empower you. . ๐๐ฌ. my personal community, the โ€œLighten Up Clubโ€ is always open for you. Our motto is โ€œlighten up physically, mentally, and spirituallyโ€. Itโ€™s full of amazing and beautiful people, who will be your biggest support system if you let us. Only thing we ask? Leave your excuses at the door, show up for self, and try. Amazing things will happen if you do. Link in my bio for more info. See you soon๐Ÿ–ค

Iโ€™m actually pretty quiet about my morning routine, in fact I make it a point to not touch my phone or post on social media until Iโ€™ve down what I need to do. Why? Because that shit is personal. My routine, my conversations with spirit and my guides, my daily practice, my me time....itโ€™s sacred. If performative spirituality is your jam, thatโ€™s cool...but itโ€™s not mine. My rituals are my rituals, and youโ€™ll not catch me pulling my own cards or saging my space on my IG stories ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ . But, just because I donโ€™t show my routine, doesnโ€™t mean I donโ€™t have one! And while I canโ€™t exactly tell you WHAT to do (because again, thatโ€™s personal and you know you best), I can give you some tips ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป . ๐“๐Ž๐ ๐“๐ˆ๐๐’ ๐…๐Ž๐‘ ๐€ ๐Œ๐€๐†๐ˆ๐‚๐€๐‹ ๐Œ๐Ž๐‘๐๐ˆ๐๐† ๐Ÿ’ซ . ๐Ÿ. Be intentional about bed time! Turn your phone in DND, donโ€™t fall asleep to noise, make sure youโ€™re getting enough sleep! I cannot stress enough just how much your nightly routine makes or breaks your morning one. ๐Ÿ. Spend the first hour of your day unplugged. Donโ€™t check our email. Donโ€™t check social media. Spend your time with you. I like to meditate and journal, but if thatโ€™s not your jam, do what works for you! Read a personal development book. Plan out your day. Write a gratitude list. Whatever works! ๐Ÿ‘. Move your body!! I used to workout in the morning, and I still prefer to, but with my new work schedule, itโ€™s proving to be a challenge. One of my Lighten Up sisters recently told me about priming, so I think Iโ€™m going to incorporate that now instead. . I was never a morning person, and Iโ€™m still not, but ever since I have gotten serious about my morning routine I swear if I donโ€™t do it...I canโ€™t human properly! . Curious to hear about ๐˜๐Ž๐”๐‘ routine, if you have one. If not - what are you going to try implementing?!
