Wellness is your birthright

 

Repeat after me: “I do not need THINGS to be well.” Wellness is your birthright and it is within you already, you just have to do the work. I take steps every single day to keep myself well that cost me little to no money. Yoga, breath work, moving my body, cooking healthy food that my body loves and craves, calling a girlfriend, having a healthy sexual relationship with myself and/or a partner, making my bed, meditation, drinking water. You see? It’s not the one big thing you do, it’s ALL the little things. 🍄 The reason I LOVE herbs and adaptogens isn’t because they are trendy (trust me, your girl has been taking these herbs since I was a tween or younger), but because of what they can do for someone on their wellness journey. If taking an adaptogens in their coffee every day makes them feel better, more supported, less stressed, etc then it shows them that wellness is in the small things and then maybe they start each day with 10 minutes of breathing and that has an impact and then maybe they add in a short walk, etc. it’s a positive snowball effect and from self care comes self love. This is something that my dear sister @danikabrysha so beautifully teaches. Invest in yourself, put you first, fill YOUR cup. THAT is wellness! Happy Sunday beautiful light-filled beings 🌿 I have tagged all my favorite, tried and true adaptogens companies in the photo #wellnessisabirthright #selfcaresunday #onshrooms
Leo new moon has me feeling my 🦁 moon. That ferocity I feel for protecting and loving the ones I love is turning inward and I am loving and protecting myself in a whole new way. Setting new boundaries, letting go, taking deeper, more trusting breaths. I will say that this Mercury Retrograde was INTENSE. And if I’m honest, life has been intense. So many things happening all at once with not much breath between them. Thank god for my inner strength and tenacity. I had a therapist tell me once that I was one of the most resilient people she’d met. So on this new moon I call in the new gifts the universe has for me and let go of the gifts that once served me. #newmooninleo #darksupermoon #leomoon
The hardest part about weekdays for me is having to get up and go. I love being able to wake up, oil pull, brush my teeth, make my latte and then crawl back in bed to read, journal, meditate and sip on my elixir. Unfortunately, because I have a 9 to 5 on, top of my coaching business, it’s not a luxury I get on the weekdays. So I have created a morning practice that works for me so I still feel like I’m getting that sacred time to myself. Morning practice is something I was raised with and have carried into adulthood. I’m in the process of figuring out how to share this with this community. An ebook? An online course? Share with me your thoughts below. Spiced Rose Matcha Latte: 1/2 cup nut milk 1 cup hot water 1 tsp @sunpotion matcha 1/2 packet @addictivewellness matcha 2 tsp @sunpotion Jasmine rice tocos 1 T chai @iloveghee Blend on high until frothy and then top with 4-5 sprays of @sunpotion Solar rose water. #bodyblissrituals #bodyblisslatte #sadhana
As my friend @anxietytoempowerment told me months ago when she pulled some cards for me “trust the niggle.” That little voice inside you that is telling you “yes” or “no” or “something is off.” We spend far too much time questioning that voice and wanting to discredit it then just listening. What would happen if you just listened? #trustyourintuition #anxietyrelief #trustyourself
Last day of the @foursigmatic caffeine challenge. I decided to take the day off posting yesterday which was the gratitude practice. I have been doing a gratitude practice since I was a tween. Writing down at least three things I’m grateful for every day. It really puts things to perspective and puts you in a positive, abundant mindset rather then a deficit mindset. Today’s challenge was drinking a large glass of water upon rising. This is also a practice I’ve done most of my life. In Ayurveda, you start each morning with a large glass of room temperature or warm water. It cleanses the body from the detox it does while you sleep, gets things moving 💩 and sets your metabolism for the day. It’s a really good way to start your day on a good note and it’s one of my favorite daily practices. How do you star each morning in a positive way? #foursigmatic #gratitudepractice #waterbeforecoffee

“Your body hears everything your mind says.” -Naomi Judd Talk to her with kindness, gentleness, compassion. Talk to her the way you would a child; with patients and sweetness in your voice. Remember that she works hard for you every day and she isn’t always going to act the way you “think” she “should”. Stop shoulding all over your body. Give her rest when she asks, hydrate her and feed her so that she can flourish and glow. Because we would NEVER expect a plant or a child to grow with abuse so why do we expect our bodies to do so? How are you going to treat your body this week? #yourbodyisatemple #liveinyourbody #bodyblisslife
“The only thing about flames that bright, is they tend to make mine seem darker.” @mansionz I sometimes feel like there is a misconception about living in your light. The belief that it means we don’t have shadow or darkness that comes and goes or that lives within us. It’s quite the opposite. It means that we have sat with our shadow, we’ve waded through our darkness and come out stronger, brighter and in our power. To me, that is what being a light means. Living fully in your truth and not denying any parts of yourself no matter how hard they are to look at. In my experience, it’s a journey and it’s never done but oh my goodness is it worth it. #liveinyourlight #donthidefromyourshadow #yourebeautiful
This may be the best smoothie I’ve made! Literally licked the jar. Spirulina Chocolate Mint smoothie: 1 cup @amylkshop blue belle 1 frozen banana 1 1/2 T @philosophielove cacao magic 1 tsp @terrasoul spirulina Handful fresh mint leaves Handful @imlakesh chocolate disks Handful ice Place everything but the chocolate disks in a high speed blender and blend on high for 30 seconds. Add the chocolate and blend for 10 to 15 seconds (this way it leaves some chunks). This is the perfect summer smoothie. Light but full of flavor and perfect for your moon cycle as the cacao provides magnesium and the spirulina gives you an iron boost. #philosophiebabe #smoothiequeen #greensmoothiequeen
