I don’t know about you but I must thrive on goals. I don’t know if that is normal but most of my life it seems like I am setting goals- planning the execution (usually creatively) and then hopefully remembering to celebrate when I actually attain them.

Sometimes in the past I have built up to attainment and then when I reach it there is a let down….or I forgot to actually ‘champion myself in attaining whatever goal I set out to attain’.

Has that ever happened to you? Always striving to arrive and not really enjoying the process ?

In mid-August I decided to slow down and enjoy each and every day in a new and different way. Since yesterday is the past and tomorrow is the future, enjoy TODAY for it really is the “PRESENT”….and today is all we have.

Recently I began Bikram Yoga. When I joined it was with an intro of 30 days for $30….. meaning you can take a class each and every day for 30 days. BAM! I don’t know when I created the goal to do Bikram 30 days in a row, but it has become my goal.

Funny thing is a month ago I never would have expected to do yoga EVER….and now here I am. What happened?

Our bodies create opportunities to have things show up if only we listen. My right elbow was my guide here as it became painful to play tennis and lift weights so I went ‘inward’ and asked my body & soul what it needed and I heard LOUD AND CLEAR, Bikram Yoga. ???? Really???? (By the way, without a sore elbow I can almost guarantee I never would have choose yoga.)

I could have fought it, however at age 60 I am old and wise enough to act when I hear that ‘special whisper’. I admit that sometimes in my life I have ignored that inner voice….and it took a lot longer to get where I wanted to go with the detour. Not good or bad, just a longer journey.

Several people who know me well have asked what changed where now I not only wear yoga clothes as I always have, but actually I am now DOING Yoga? Why did I begin and why am I driven?

Each and every day I wake up and remind myself why I started. Like most 12-Step programs…. one day at a time.

So 20 days ago I look at myself in the mirror. I didn’t cry but I also wasn’t totally excited with the woman looking back at me in the mirror.

I have always been healthy, strong and lean but the lady in the mirror looking back at me looked different. Confidence was missing in her eyes! So I talked to her and heard some reasons why I ought to consider the shift and why Bikram Yoga would be good for ‘her’, aka ME. Although I have gracefully embraced my age, I have not embraced my body since menopause.

The most driving reason I am doing Bikram Yoga is I want to be healthy/flexible and have a healthy longevity. I have a family I love, that include grandchildren and I want to be vibrant and healthy so I can see them grow up and can be a part of their world- and their children’s world. I’m in a loving marriage and want to be healthy together til our last breath.

Yes, perhaps across the board I am healthier than most women my age, but it still doesn’t mean anything unless you are happy with how you LOOK and FEEL!

I see my parents and in-laws age and although they are vibrant in their own way in their mid to late 80s…. I personally want to be able to travel and explore and have the strength and health to do so well into my 90’s, if I choose.

Much of my life I have concentrated on my physical body and my physical health- perhaps spurred on by body building at age 30. (Once again, another goal…can I do it and win after giving birth to 2 children 4 and 5 years prior? I needed to prove to myself that I could! Much like with 30-Days of Bikram Yoga)

Ahhh, the ultimate shape and size….body fat, etc. OK, so I proved that I could reach a lean (unhealthy I may add) 8.5% body fat and win my category in a Body Building competition but that didn’t make me any happier. In fact there was such a let down after that experience that I still can’t shake to this day.

Fast forward 30 years and the health I am seeking today is more well-rounded. Not just the physical beauty aspect of what one sees in the mirror, but the soul-spirit connection. Although some people think going to a zen yoga class that is gentle with spiritual music may feed my soul better, right now the challenge (mentally and physically) of Bikram Yoga is where I am at and fuels the challenge!)

Ultimately I want to love, appreciate and enjoy who I am in the world. Don’t we all? Since making ‘MY SELF CARE’ a priority it has shifted into other areas of my life. Hallelujah!

Yes, without question part of the transformation is still the PHYSICAL BODY and one ‘must do’ is melting my men-o-pot (belly fat) so that I am a healthier and lean post menopausal woman. Belly fat is toxic, unattractive and honestly, very difficult to have when trying to do yoga poses. (no kidding!!!) Not to mention, clothes just don’t fit the same when your belly is large.

CAREER & LIFE

Working with TAVALA is very gratifying on many levels. I enjoy mentoring other people who want to improve their lives either with their health (which includes WEIGHT LOSS with Tavala TRIM, or being PAIN-FREE and have vibrant energy with the Tavala Quantum Relief Strips!) Learn more here: www.DaveandJoy.com

TAVALA for Wealth Building and Fueling Dreams!

I know that having additional income in all households offers additional options, no matter the current level of wealth. It’s about a shift in consciousness with abundant thinking….not just MONEY! When we have abundant thoughts we think beyond ourselves…which led Dave and I to discover an amazing organization that is doing great things throughout the world, for women. (And when women are empowered, face it, families and communities are empowered!)

We recently partnered with an organization called WEA, Women’s Earth Alliance http://womensearthalliance.org/ and are donating 5% of our customer sales to their organization each month. This includes any of the products off our website, www.DaveandJoy.com or even through our sampling site, www.TryOurSamples.com. It may not sound like a lot of money, but in time, we hope it will add up to being able to make a difference in the lives of many.

So there you go… today is Day 19 doing Bikram. I am actually looking forward to my ‘practice today’. Will it be perfect? YES and NO. Yes for ME, as I’ll do my best, and that is all they ask at Bikram. If you can do it – DO IT, and if not, at least do what you can… but do it ‘the right way’.

I doubt the majority of my poses today will actually look like those in a Bikram book- but this is OK. Today is another day, another opportunity for self-care and self-love. By filling MY CUP daily I am in a great position to help others in my life and beyond.

So what is YOUR goal? Your STORY? Mine is ever-changing and I like the changes. It’s all about today and eventually tomorrow, but I leave my story from yesterday at the door. Life Coaching taught me that!

If you are inspired to share your journey or how you may be able to relate, let me know. I’d love to hear. If you have ever set a goal similar that seemed insurmountable like 30-Days of Bikram Yoga is for me, please share.

If you are looking for a way to become the better version of you in the HERE & NOW, perhaps I can offer guidance. I am a Transformational Life Coach although I don’t ‘practice’ that, rather I incorporate it in my life and in my Tavala business.

Adding Tavala TRIM & Quantum Relief Strips to my BIKRAM YOGA: BAM!

I’m truly a believer in the TRIM drink from Tavala & the Quantum Relief Strips.

I have witnessed hundreds of friends and customers totally change & enhance their bodies and experience weight loss transformations that will blow your mind!

I’m also a believer in the Quantum Relief Strips for balancing the body, balancing energy (chi) and aiding in natural relief of discomfort…. however when I stepped into something so unfamiliar as BIKRAM YOGA I decided to go in – learn the ‘practice’ “all natural” without adding the TRIM. (The QRS or Quantum Relief Strips were a MUST HAVE when I began due to extreme discomfort in my elbow area!)

It took me 2 wks. to “wake up” and realize I was not using a tool (TRIM) that I believe in and have at my finger tips…and share with others daily. So…. I just began to add the TRIM powder drink to water before my workouts and everything became a little clearer and more focused. Thank God!!!!

What else does TRIM do? Can it enhance YOUR daily life or perhaps even your yoga practice? 🙂

Metabolism Booster
Gives you Energy & Focus
Suppresses the Appetite & Cravings
Aids in Weight Loss

What else do the Quantum Relief Strips do?

Brings positive energy to parts of the body that need it most
Helps reduce discomfort throughout the body
Naturally provides effective relief
Stimulates key pressure points

So….when I began Bikram Yoga why didn’t I add the TRIM to my workout regime from day 1?

I had NO idea what to expect, and was afraid to add the TRIM, an energy drink/stimulant….so I went without at first. I decided that I’d stick with good old fashion water and see how I can handle my new workout routing….AKA Bikram Yoga….without any supplementation.

After 1 week I was bonking out. Day 6 I added an electrolyte to add back into my body what I sweat out!

Then…. after a couple of weeks I was ‘tired of being tired’ so I decided to ADD the TAVALA TRIM, even 1/2 drink to water and drink it before my 90 minute workout. (105 degree temps and 40% humidity)

1 drink a day! That is it. So I finally did what I tell others to do, I began to drink the TRIM each and every day, and you know what? I got more Energy and Focus (YES, what I need for sure in Bikram!)… and the combo of exercise and TRIM helped me whittle away some good ol’ belly fat. Do you know how difficult it is to do yoga poses with a muffin top aka “men-o-pot”?

As for the Quantum Relief Strips, I HAVE been wearing them daily from Day 1. When I first started Bikram it was because of discomfort in my elbow and I was looking for a new form or exercise and honoring my body. (Tennis elbow is painful!)

No matter what activity you are participating in, extra energy and focus is a great thing. It is important and welcomed, whether you are playing tennis, running, lifting weights or doing yoga.

If you are active and want to be MORE ACTIVE and live a more focused life, give both the TRIM and the Quantum Relief Strips a try. Beware, you will lose weight with the TRIM as well!

Samples are available at www.TryourSamples.com or you can order direct at www.DaveandJoy.com We also are proud to support WEA, Women’s Earth Alliance, by donating 5% of all customer orders purchased through our website. http://womensearthalliance.org/

Bikram Yoga- more than 1/2 way there! Funny Description of Paige’s 1st day.

I couldn’t sleep well last night and I began to wonder if it is my BIKRAM YOGA “practice” that is shifting things internally and messing up with my night time sleep schedule….and day time energy slumps. They say it gets easier and I can expect to BECOME MORE ENERGIZED – but WHO is they anyway? 🙂

Yesterday was Day 16 of doing Bikram daily. I began to question if what I was doing….a 30-Day Challenge was actually good for me and wanted to hear others experience of what it did for them! So I googled and found many great stories, videos etc. but THIS one put a smile on my face and I continued to read on and actually ‘champion’ her successes.

….and this is where I stumbled upon this part 1 of a gal, Paige Williams, who shared her Bikram story in Oprah Magazine. http://www.oprah.com/omagazine/paige-williams-60-day-bikram-yoga-makeover/all

This girl, Paige, was 80 pounds overweight, divorced, out of work, and deeply in debt. OK, so none of those are me, except I am a 60-year old woman who had never done a BIKRAM challenge and someone, much like Paige, who wants to make peace with my body while balancing my body-mind-spirit connection. Oh and add one more thing, I’d love to drop at least 10 pounds in these ‘infamous’ 30-days. (I’d like to say where the FAT could melt off, but I guess I will have to just wait and see.) One thing I know, a woman with a ‘men-o-pot’ around the belly can not bend into poses easily.

So here is how it was described in Paige’s article. Paige needs a physical and spiritual overhaul. Can 60 days in a Bikram hot-yoga studio really undo years of damage? and this is where it got funny-and accurate.

OK -SO I NEED A PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL OVERHAUL too, I agree. CAN 30-DAYS OF BIKRAM HELP ME?

Paige writes: “The teacher wants me to make a Japanese ham sandwich. To my knowledge, I’ve never seen a Japanese ham sandwich, but as I understand it, I’m to stand bent with my face to my shins and chest to my thighs in perfect vertical union—I am the sandwich.

I would say I look more like a jelly roll. My flabby abdomen won’t let my forehead anywhere near my knees, and my legs tremble as I try contorting myself into a position my body neither recognizes nor endorses. The goal is to concentrate on stretching and breathing, but I’m fixating on my unpedicured toenails. And the neon paleness of my legs. And the fact that I probably should have shaved.

The students around me are tanned and toned and very nearly nude. Every body glistens. We’re in a Bikram yoga studio, after all, where the heat is set to 105 degrees and the humidity to 40 percent, to facilitate flexibility. The men wear nothing but shorts; the women rock hot pants and halters. Because I’d rather lick the sweat-soaked carpet than bare my wretched flesh, I have on the hot-yoga equivalent of a snowsuit: calf-length sweatpants, a jog bra, and a T-shirt. I’m huffing harder than a serial killer. And we’re only on posture number one.

Posture number one of class one of day one. Assuming I survive, I’ll make the ham sandwich and about two dozen other postures every single day for the next two months, for the notorious 60-day Bikram challenge. I’m subjecting myself to “Bikram’s torture chamber,” as founder Bikram Choudhury himself calls this insanely intense regimen, because the program promises renewal from the inside out—because suffering inside this hot room may be my surest path to survival out in the world.

I need to change so many things about my life, it’s hard to know where to start. I need physical and spiritual transformation, from the mental to the muscular to the molecular. I need to stop treating my body like a landfill. I need stability, which I haven’t seen in so long, I’ve forgotten how it feels. I need a reset button.

“Do this yoga for 60 days and it will change your body, your mind, and your life,” says Choudhury, a former Indian yoga champion who lives in Los Angeles and who is, depending on your viewpoint, either a beloved lifesaving guru or just a really flexible guy who got lucky, and rich, with an idea and a persona. Bikram students believe, and I hope they’re right, that Choudhury’s heat-centric, copyrighted sequence of ancient hatha yoga postures is a transformative agent like no other; testimonials the world over suggest this yoga eases the symptoms of a range of maladies—depression, diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, arthritis, back pain, and heart disease, for instance—while relaxing the mind and slimming the body.

“Can’t you just do all that by, like, running every day for 60 days?” a friend asks. Good question, but the answer doesn’t interest me. None of my past fitness activities—racquet sports, cycling, jogging, gym circuit training, kickboxing—seem catalytic enough for the depth of change I’m after.

I’m not a renovation; I’m a tear down. And I’m hoping Bikram is my bulldozer!”

So here I am….JOY, not Paige and I began questioning if what I was doing was sane, smart or worth it. I can say each and every day is different- for example Day 17 was TODAY and I felt GREAT. I could balance stronger, I was less tired (despite not sleeping well last night) and honestly if I had to, I’d actually be able to do a 2nd class later today, which they call a ‘double’! (Now that I think of it, I believe it was the TAVALA TRIM drink I had prior to class today that made a difference) I’ll have to try it tomorrow! www.DaveandJoy.com

Am I going to stick it out? You bet. How could I come this far and not complete the 30-days? I’d truly let myself down if I quit now. 30-days straight or admit I don’t have what it takes.

I began Bikram when I listened to my inner self/my voice tell me this is what my body needs. I wasn’t thrilled to ‘hear’ the message but I believed it to be true.

If you won’t listen, then why ask- right?

I began my personal 30-Day Challenge on August 21st and September 1st Queen City Bikram Yoga, where I go, started their 30-Day Challenge. If I do just mine, COOL, if I do the studios’ it will take me to 41 Days Straight. What do you think? Think I can do it? Think I ‘should’ do it?

I look forward to the day when walking into a Bikram yoga studio is as comfortable to me as walking into a gym or fitness center. The familiarity of a cold 20 lb. dumbbell could really excite me! but in the meantime, I’ll see what YOGA can do for this less-than-limber 60 year old body.

If you happen to live in Burlington VT and would like to join me, message me. My husband joins me 3x a week and the more the merrier!

I get a weekly newsletter from Hippocrates Health Institute and often embrace many of their suggestions. I admire Dr. Brian Clement (director of HHI) who wrote this article and thought this topic was worth sharing as we, with TAVALA, are now talking to a lot of people who have gained weight this summer and either want to BEGIN TAVALA TRIM or Get Back On the TRIM!

Dr. Clement wrote: Dear friends,

During the summer months people often find how surprisingly easy it is to gain weight, but why is this so? The three leading reasons why it can be easier to gain weight in summer than winter are:

Overheating and moving less
Exposure to extreme heat can cause you to lose your stamina and become less active. Just moving a little may cause your body to overheat and you start thinking, “maybe it’s a good time to take a break about now.” This sort of movement lowers your physical activity level starts to add up over time in terms of the number of calories you burn daily throughout the summer.

Slower metabolism
Unlike in winter when your core temperature is lower the body reacts to speed up the metabolism; in summer the opposite is the case. The higher body temperature results in a slower metabolism and thus fewer calories are burnt.

Eating to stay cool
It’s not hard to find yourself eating summer high calorie foods in the battle against the heat, like ice cream and cool sodas. Before you know it those extra calories are beginning to appear as additional inches around your waist.

We all know that Excess weight can lead to health problems- right?
Although this may not be an issue for some, not losing this excess weight can have some unwanted health outcomes. Excess weight may increase the risk for many health problems, including:

• Type 2 diabetes,
• High blood pressure,
• Heart disease and strokes,
• Certain types of cancer,
• Sleep apnea,
• Osteoarthritis,
• Fatty liver disease,
• Kidney disease
• Pregnancy problems.

Me speaking now: I knew that many people gain weight during the summer months but never quite understood why until I read this article that I received via email today.

When I managed a gym one of our biggest weight loss challenge months was September, a second place to January! But I never knew why…..

So if this is YOU or someone you know who wants to drop those unwanted pounds give TAVALA TRIM a chance. One drink a day ‘keeps the doctor away’…actually….that is a canned phrase, but the TRIM will help boost your metabolism, suppress your appetite and cravings and give you energy- I promise.

Early August of this year I was telling my daughter- in- law, Brie, that we wanted to create a foundation or better yet, work with an organization that was already doing great things in the world, in particular for women and families, and their communities.

She told me of an organization called WEA and immediately after speaking with one of the co-founders, we made the decision to support this organization – Women’s Earth Alliance.

In their own words….

“When women thrive, communities and the Earth thrive. This is one of our core beliefs here at WEA because we’ve seen it to be true. Want to know more? Take a look at this short video sharing more about our origin story and vision for the future!” Check out this brief video.

The word is out….there is a new product that is changing how people are looking at the word RELIEF & BALANCE & ENERGY!

QRS means Quantum Relief Strips. Check out 15 testimonials on the Quantum Relief Strips!

Indeed, there is an all-natural product in the form of a topical ‘strip’ (or patch) that balances your body and brings energy to where it’s needed.

The QRS help balance the chi (energy), balance the Chakras and can bring comfort to areas in need. This product, called Quantum Relief Strips are available only through TAVALA.

We hear testimonials daily: So here we’ll share 15. Perhaps you know someone who can benefit who has discomfort in their neck, their knees, their back, their shoulder, their feet….HECK anywhere on the body.

Acupuncturist often place pieces of the ‘strip’ on the meridians to help bring CHI to those areas. We’ve also discovered by trial and era that the human body has an innate intelligence and even if you place the Quantum Relief Strips on your back, you may find that your wrist or shoulder discomfort disappears! How? Energy travels and goes to the places your body that need it most. Much like Reiki energy does.

For a full detail description on HOW the Quantum Relief Strips Work or How they are Made please email us at info@DaveandJoy.com and we’ll send you an information sheet that will explain everything in simple terms.

Ready for some Testimonials? Here you go!

“My shoulder had been sore and had limited mobility for well over a year. I placed a full-size Quantum Relief Strip on my right shoulder blade and within 24 hours my mobility improved 100% and I could raise my right arm above my head. Unbelievable. I always thought I had an ENERGY BLOCK in that area, but how do you prove it? It really doesn’t matter-these strips WORK!”
“Had stiffness in my back area and within a minute or two of applying the Quantum Relief Strips, felt a difference. Less tension and relief! I love these strips!”.
“Have you ever had acid reflux or DISCOMFORT due to issues with digestion? A friend had a bad bout with acid reflux yesterday and placed a small piece of the Quantum Relief Strip on his esophagus area (middle part of upper area). 1″x2″ in size. Within minutes he had RELIEF in that area and the burning in his chest/throat area subsided. Brilliant product… the QR Strips bring quantum energy to parts of the body that need it most!”
“Bummer, I burned my hand while cooking and the skin was red and began to form a blister. OUCH! Someone told me to place a Quantum Relief Strip in that area and not only did the discomfort go away within minutes, but the skin never did blister and 1 day later you can barely tell there was a burn. These strips should be in everyone’s household/medicine cabinet.”
“My knees were bothering me this morning when I remembered that my Quantum strips had come just before I left for Pensacola last week. I hadn’t had the chance to try them out so this morning I cut one sample Quantum strip in half. Put half on my left knee and half on the right. I wrote for about an hour and then got up to get a refill on my water. No knee pain at all! Not even a twinge. I AM A BELIEVER!”
“I’m 80 and have a knee with bone-on-bone. I put a strip on and felt relief in 15 mins.”
“Tonight I am extremely grateful. My daughter called me earlier in the day and said she was so full of mucus and was uncomfortable. She has Bronchiectasis which is a terrible lung condition that produces excess mucus. I told her that I was going to check an acupressure chart and see where she might try the relief strips. I suggested that she try placing 2 relief strips 2 inches below her collarbone on her chest. She called tonight and said that she has had no mucus discomfort after putting on the strips and was able to nap in peace. What an amazing product we have!!”
“Alright I have some feedback for the QRS again! I do pool physical therapy 2 times a week, the strip on my neck & under my arm both stuck strong through the 45min of pool time yesterday & still on today with relief. I was even able to endure using the resistance paddles & no fatigue or irritations from it today!”
“Holy cow…I used a half of the Quantum Relief Strip last night. Lower back/sacrum was hurting and I couldn’t find any relief. Thought I would a chiropractor today, but put on the strip and within 10-15 minutes I had relief! I even slept so well last night. Coincidence or not- it was my best sleep ever.”
“I’m on wheelchair arrest with a badly broken leg. With Quantum strips, I’m off the narcotics I needed so badly. I’m able to get through the pain with Quantum. In the past couple days, my nerves are starting to wake up… I put this patch on this morning and I’m not feeling the stabbing burn anymore! My surgery was 7/09, I cannot even count how many screws are in there. All I can say is the pain was horrific until I got my patches. Yes, I still had to take the narcotics, but I cut the dose in half and now I’m off them, because of the Quantum Relief Strips!”
My dear friends introduced me to the Quantum Relief Strips recently as they knew I had a rotator cuff injury and was only able to lift my Arm about 6 inches from my hip. On Friday morning I put on the Quantum Relief Strips and was able to lift my arm at least 15 inches up. It reduced the amount of discomfort that I was having which is a mark improvement from what I’ve been able to do over the last couple of weeks…. for me the Quantum relief strips work really great.”
“Just so you know….the Quantum Relief Strips work for every kind of discomfort or imbalance- including Sun Burn! Keep your strips handy this summer!!!!! Last summer I got a sunburn on my back (forgot that area when applying sunscreen) and 1/2 strip in the middle of my back took the pain away within minutes, I slept sound- and it never blistered or peeled.”
I have had a bulging area on the back of my calf just under my knee for almost a year now. I have been unable to fully bend my knee when I do yoga without extreme pain when I’m sitting in child’s pose. I’ve been rubbing it, working it, doing everything I could to try to fix it but nothing helped. Sooooo, this morning I decided to put a quantum relief strip on it on it, and honestly, with all my heart I cannot believe what it has done. The tenderness is gone, and what felt like A small balloon under my skin has reduced to almost nothing. I got down on my knees in front of my mom’s bed and sat in child’s pose without pain for the first time in over a year.”
“I suffer frequent migraines. On Monday the meds just were not giving me any relief… I cut small pieces of our Tavala Quantum Relief Strips and placed them behind my ears. I can honestly say my headache went away! I am a believer in Tavala products!”
“I was having dinner with a friend Friday night and he was complaining of stiffness in his leg behind his knee. This has been going on for a week and getting worse. I got Cheri to put a strip on the back side of the knee and he got up from the table about 2 hours later and zero pain and full movement. He was thinking we tricked him! Pretty awesome result in a very short time. I should have taken a picture of his face with the reaction.”

Pretty amazing results- yes? And these are just 15 of hundreds of testimonials on the Quantum Relief Strips. Most are much longer as people really want to share their story to inspire others to try them.

I get weekly emails from www.Goalcast.com that are inspirational and often times I use bits and pieces in Facebook posts or in conversations.

This article, written by Aimee Halpin, on August 22, 2017 caught my attention and I want to apply it to my life. (my Business life, my Personal life and my Recreational life.)

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” Henry Ford

“Did you know that your brain believes what it hears on a regular basis? This is true especially if you say it out loud or even under your breath multiple times a day. If you say “I can’t do that,” your brain believes you and makes it come to pass in some area of your life.

As we begin to look at the way we are talking to ourselves, our beliefs start to change. The words that are red flags in our minds are things like: never, hate, won’t, can’t, and even always.

If we tell ourselves things in absolutes, we start to believe them… even if they aren’t true.

Shifting from Can’t to Can: 8 Practices to Put in Place Right Now

You can only lose what you cling to. – Buddha

I want you to think of an area where you are selling yourself short right now. Where do you tell yourself you can’t achieve a goal that would really make a difference in your life? Breathe. Pause. Reflect. I want you to visualize the negative words as balloons and you are now releasing them to the sky.

I am going to show you eight practices that you can put in place right now that will really help you make that shift from can’t to can. All you need to do is believe.

Become an observer of your thoughts. I get it. It’s a tough time, but before you share someone’s opinion or post a status using the words in absolutes, think about if you believe it. You are reinforcing an absolute behavior.
Instead of letting your thoughts and emotions run away with you, start to observe if what you are telling yourself is even true, and whether it is yours. Is it old karmic nonsense that you just have on autopilot playing in your head? Was it passed down?
Change your morning routine to include a positive affirmation: I am healing. I am living a life filled with abundance. You get to be in charge of the positives here.
Remember Winnie the Pooh? How Eeyore acted? Be an observer not only of your thoughts, but of what energy you are putting out there. Are you attracting more negative?
Appreciate the good in your life and celebrate the achievements. Small steps are better than none taken. As Mother Teresa said: “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
I am a big believer in the science of brain-based healing. Studies have shown that thoughts alone can actually improve vision, fitness and strength. Brain chemistry and circuitry are constantly being re-wired as we shift to better thoughts.
When people consciously practice gratitude, they get a surge of rewarding neurotransmitters, like dopamine, and experience more illumination of the mind. If you don’t believe me, practice a gratitude ritual for 30 days and see how your life has changed in that time. It really changes your stress level.
I have seen epigenetics work in my own life. That means I am speaking to my genes with every thought I have. This is the part that might seem crazy, but the truth is that your biology doesn’t give you a reason to give up the fight. Epigenetics is showing that you really can change the way your body reacts and responds. Essentially, how genes are read by cells is actually changed by who you interact with and how you think and respond to life. It’s pretty powerful research.”

OK…. now a question may be “How do you apply this to YOUR life”?

When I first read this article all I could relate it to was my recent activity I just began. Bikram Yoga. Today is day 15…..15 classes in 15 days. Imagine that? When I first reviewed my Beginner’s Bikram book I literally panicked and my self-talk was very damaging. Phrases like you can’t do that, you won’t be able to, what are you crazy? etc. flooded my brain as well as flew out of my mouth. I had to apply some of the principles above….and each day I began to believe in my abilities over my initial self talk. One day at a time!

Sometimes in business I feel my goals are very ‘aggressive’. The goals and numbers often seem impossible to reach as well as the income projections we strive to reach sometimes seem inobtainable- but once again I tell myself- “many people have reached those goals- so why not me? Yes, you can do it too!”

As for our business with TAVALA and products we represent it is interesting that I did a poll not long ago with a group that I called my “test case”. Those that received the best results with our flagship product TAVALA TRIM were those who went into their daily usage with a positive mind and without skepticism. They believed the TRIM would work and they were open to the changes. Those who were what I call “Debbie Doubters…or Debbie Downers” fit into another category. They got mediocre results in comparison to the positive minded group and many claimed they just could not get themselves to remember to drink the one ‘thermogenic’ drink daily.

The Willow Tree- A Reminder to be Flexible and Bend in Life!

It’s interesting, I just asked about WILLOW TREES the other day as I kept seeing them in our travels. I think my thoughts lead me to finding this.

The Willow Tree reminds me to be flexible, to bend and not live in resistance.

When the willow tree branches sway in the wind they often make a soft whispering sound. Imagine that sound to be your inner guidance, your soul speaking to you.

Follow that guidance….whenever I do, magic happens. When I don’t- it always ends up being a challenging ‘lesson’. (Then I use those lessons as stepping stones to get back on my path! funny how that works!)

“The willow stands not against the wind, but bows in gentle wisdom, knowing her strength lies in bending…and not by resistance of great forces.

Real strength comes by wisdom, and not by rigid thoughts of a closed mind, but of higher thinking that adapts and moves with life.

Wisdom speaks of knowledge born of love.

It is to see with higher vision, to release thoughts that do not serve.

To move by the embrace of new thoughts, of higher understanding guided by the heart.

Be as the willow in all its majesty, standing as a symbol of great strength and beauty, with peaceful shelter for all who seek.

Move with life, and shine grace upon all in your noble presence.

If you listen, you may hear her gentle song, whispering through her leaves…

She sings of the embrace, she sings of peace, she sings of rest for all who wander yet are not lost.

Such beauty and strength lies in you, beloved.

Learn to bend, and by grace be strengthened.” ~Path Of The Lightworker By Aldys

In December Dave and I were like the Willow Tree. By not resisting what was happening in our former MLM company- but being open to ‘listening’ to a solution, our lives aligned with an ease that is hard to explain. If you are looking to make a shift in your life, in your business, I’d love to hear from you. Looking for an opportunity to grow while earning a 6-figure + income? Network Marketing is a PERSONALL BUSINESS FACTORY disguised business opportunity.
