“Find your WHY and you will find your WAY”

John C.Maxwell

What is your “Why?”

What gets you out of bed in the morning?

Stress and Anxiety can leave us WIPED OUT! Empty and depleted.

It’s so important to KNOW without a shadow of a doubt what FILLS YOUR CUP and keeps your heart smiling, even when stress is out of control and sh*t hits the fan.

It’s times like these , we get thrown off track, get hit from the side, lose the wind from our sails. Too many of these blows, can knock us down for the count.

But there is always a way to get back up. And sometimes that means finding your true north, seeing what is important and going the distance.

Getting back up means getting in touch with your ‘WHY’

I’d like to mention here- our Whys aren’t always obvious. We may have a purpose or a dharma that we are still figuring out. Hey! That’s all part of the journey and there is NO rush. You are on the right track. Trust in yourself and in your divine nature to guide you.

AND- look for all the people, places and things that motivate and inspire you to be your best. These are also your WHYs- they maybe the most important ones …

If you feel bit lost as to what your why might be, or, your old why isn’t cutting it for you anymore, let’s connect. Exploration feeds the soul and I can help to hold space for you to explore, get curious and uncover…

Love and Happiness

…and left me alone in our hotel room. That is when the anxiety got really strong. “Oh shit. What have I done? My world is caving in and I have LOST all control”… I felt my breath shrink and then quicken, and my heart pound…. I sat down on the bed and looked at the duffel bag that housed some of our clothes and toiletries. I noticed one of the books from that book club peering out of the open zipper as if to say, “Here I am, help is here”.

The body makes us VERY aware of our present moment. These thoughts (or the mind chatter) are anchored in two places: either in the past (“ did I remember that?”, “ why didn’t so-and-so say hello to me at the grocery store”) or in the future (“if I don’t get this done I won’t have time for…”, “my 10,20, 30 year reunion is coming up, what should I wear? what will so and so look like, etc.”). In very VERY few moments of our day are we actually aware of the present moment; are we focused on the here-and-now to the exclusion of all else.
