11 ways to uplift your energy

1. Stop complaining and start counting your blessings. A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles. 

2. Release your limiting beliefs. You can achieve anything your mind believes. Shift your mindset to focus on everything you desire, instead of all the limitations you’ve created for yourself. 

3. Take responsibility for your life experiences. If you’re blaming something or someone for your problems, you will never learn how to stop history from repeating itself. You are the only one that can learn from and change the trajectory of your Karmic lessons. 

4. Make no room for negative self talk. Would you love your significant other, friend, or family member if they talked to you, the way that you talk to you? Self love starts with the way you talk to and feel about yourself. 

5. Stop Dwelling on the past. Your past no longer exists. You are a new person everyday. Shedding fears, resentment, hate, sadness, sorrow, unforgiveness, jealously, limitations, and pain. You have the opportunity to recreate your life experiences everyday. Stop beating yourself up for the experiences that shaped you into the person that you are today. 

6. Become more open and receptive to change. You are only living as fast as you’re growing. Change is what helps you evolve and transform as you’re living your human experience. Embrace it! 

7. Release the need to impress others and stop playing the comparison game. Your life doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. Everyone’s DNA is wired differently and there’s a reason for that. Fully accept and embrace yourself as you are. Focus on the things that bring joy to your life and the opinions of others will become just that...opinions. 

8. You don’t always have to be right. You perpetuate isolation and cut yourself off from what the world has to offer because you are convinced that there’s no other way to do things. A mind develops by entertaining alternative thoughts, ideas, and desires. Stay committed to your decisions and goals, but stay flexible in your approach. 

9. Be part of something bigger than you. Lend a helping hand to others. Change your environment. Spend more time with people that support your dreams and offer resources that expand and make your life more fulfilling. Spend less time with negative and limiting influences. 

10. Nourish your body with nutrient rich substance food, protect your energy and your peace, rid your body, mind, and spirit of toxicity, and cultivate love! 

11. And last but not least, open up your heart and allow unconditional love to permeate your inner and outer space.

Entry one: Patterned

4:30 Mornings 
02/01/16 4:46am 

Day 1 

Entry 1 It's  a beautiful foggy morning in Austin, TX. I can't help but wax nostalgic when I feel the cool air and look into the mist. The weather was so much like it is today when we first moved to Austin. 

I forget how amazing the mornings are, when everyone is still sleeping. It's so quiet, the birds yet to begin their morning chorus. 

The sweet stillness is a great time to think and this mornings thoughts I share:

Patterns! 

Patterns surround our lives in so many ways! From the fabric we wear to the cycles of the seasons. Patterns make up a great part of our existence. Often times we follow  some  patterns mindlessly. The routines, the actions and reactions become so much a part of our time and habit that we are easily blinded by the many unhealthy patterns we play out. 

I've recently been fascinated to know more about the human brain. One topic in particular is the idea that many parts of my adult brain are in essence plastic, pliable. 

I'm particularly intrigued with the idea that I can change many outcomes in my own life by changing the way I think and believe about a particular "idea." 

For example, as a child I didn't have it so easy, not unlike many of us; I had an absentee father and a mother who had to work to provide for my brother and me. My father was intentionally absent and my mother absent for the preservation of her offspring. However, such circumstance created my own survival mode to activate out of what I interpreted as abandonment. Fast forward to the adult me. I was once married for five years and thought most certainly that any issues I had as a child were "dead and gone." 

Until my ex-husband travelled for work and was out of the country for nearly a month. It wasn’t an instant regression, but nonetheless I realized later that I began to live out the patterns I knew so well as a child and even in my early adult years. I began to think I had been forsaken, I felt lonely and a sense of self preservation kicked in and felt so real. It even impacted my behavior. I realized through all of this that I still had a pattern, a path that I reverted to when I was faced with a situation that to me, mirrored being abandoned.

Since then I've searched and continue to search MY habits and interactions to find what false patterns or unhealthy patterns are still lurking. 

The funny thing about patterns, is that left untamed (unhealthy patterns in particular) they can very easily
be passed on to our children and their children, and yet again a pattern continues. 

Mental Exercise:

What patterns have you become so comfortable with when it comes to your health, food, career, and self worth?

Are your patterns healthy? 

Are your patterns leading to success? 

Are your patterns preventing it? 

What pattern will you leave to the generation that follows you and the people in your sphere of influence?

Acupuncture Could Help You Finally Manage Your Stress Levels

Today's world can fill the very busy individual with a lot of stress. Without some way of removing this stress from your system, you're placing yourself in danger from a lot of stress-related diseases. You might suffer from insomnia or headaches or very serious heart diseases.

You could take anti-stress pills to help you relax but, like me, you might also be worried about the side effects these pills could have. The good news is that you could try acupuncture at least once to see if it could help you manage the stress. It certainly couldn't hurt to try acupuncture if all you're after is stress relief.

If you find it doesn't work for you, then you can just easily stop taking acupuncture treatments. If it works, though, then you can say you've found a good treatment for stress that doesn't rely on those dangerous chemicals and pills.

How does sticking needles into your body help manage the stress?

In traditional Chinese medicine, much of the treatments depend on an understanding of the balance in our bodies and its internal organs. The sicknesses we sometimes develop are seen to be caused by imbalances in our lifestyles and environment. Stress is also affected by this imbalance. That is why when there is something wrong with your body, you'd typically have less of an ability to deal with stress. You'd get more irritable and find it really difficult to relax.

By sticking these very thin needles past the surface of our skin, the acupuncturist stimulates nerves in our body. These nerves send signals to our brain and scientists believe that the brain then releases its natural painkillers into our system. This immediately causes a feeling of relaxation for many people.

The needles could also help your body by stimulating its circulation. With the circulation between the organs of the body improved, a lot of the body's wastes could be cleansed properly. Your organs would also receive the full benefit of the oxygen from your lungs making its way into the cells of your body without any blockages. This makes your organs much healthier and leaves you feeling much better in the long term as well.

You can think of a session with the acupuncturist as very much like massage therapy. A good massage would help give you a very relaxing sleep that night and an acupuncturist could help you with your sleep as well. You might immediately start to feel drowsy as soon as the right nerves are stimulated by the acupuncturist's needles.

You might be asking yourself how you'd be able to relax if you're suffering from the pain of the needles attached to your body. What you might not realize is that because of the thinness of the needles, you would hardly feel anything. The most that many people claim they feel is a kind of tingling feeling where the needles are. And that is actually a sign that the process is working,

Acupuncture is a practice that helps you use your bodies' own ability to manage stress properly. This leaves you healthier, and more importantly, prevents any of the serious diseases that could come from unbalanced, stressful lifestyles. It might not be something to replace regular trips to the doctor but with its many possible benefits, acupuncture might be worth trying out very soon.

Pieces of wisdom that will change your life

“People don’t realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.” -Eckhart Tolle”

1. Words are powerful. Use them wisely. “Make your words good— you will be glad you did. Words can bring death or life! Talk too much, and you will eat everything you say.” -Proverbs‬ ‭18:20-21‬

2. People come and go, but the right ones will always stay. “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” -Proverbs‬ ‭18:24‬ 

3. You are more than enough, even when it doesn’t feel like it. “You are the one who put me together inside my mother's body, and I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me. Everything you do is marvelous! Of this I have no doubt.”-Psalms‬ ‭139:13-14‬

4. Failure happens when you stop trying. “When you stumble and fall, you get back up, and if you take a wrong road, you turn around and go back -Jeremiah‬ ‭8:4

5. Random acts of kindness make this world a better place. “Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you.” -Ephesians‬ ‭4:32‬ ‭

6. Live in the moment. Not for yesterday. Not for tomorrow. Live for today! “Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.” -Matthew‬ ‭6:34‬

7. Never look back. The person you were yesterday no longer exists. Today is a new day and you are a new you. “Forget what happened long ago! Don't think about the past. I am creating something new. There it is! Do you see it? I have put roads in deserts, streams in thirsty lands.” -Isaiah‬ ‭43:18-19‬ ‭

8. Overthinking destroys your happiness. “Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. You know the teachings I gave you, and you know what you heard me say and saw me do. So follow my example. And God, who gives peace, will be with you.” -Philippians‬ ‭4:8-9‬ 

You only have one life to live. Are you living, embracing, and savoring every moment with love, kindness, compassion, and grace?
