🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️Do you find it difficult

🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️Do you find it difficult lately to stay physically fit? Or don't know what kind of physical activity is good for you?

I've been taking the Chopra Health certification course and learned that it’s all based on your mind+body type.

It's working with your type (as opposed to against it) and practicing self-awareness. Physical activity is movement. When I think of movement, I think of dancing and lightness. And feeling good.

“Movement” engages my mind with images that engage my spirit and spark the excitement needed to engage – and motivate me to move my body. -- If you are willing, do this little experiment:

1️⃣ Find a comfortable seat, close your eyes and think of those two words – exercise and movement – and observe what comes up for you.

Which one stirs your motivation to get up and move your body and add to your wellbeing?

2️⃣ Then observe what thoughts of physical activities spark joy, trigger motivation and a sense of lightness, and which ones trigger feelings of heaviness and stress.

3️⃣ Start doing whatever exercise or movement engages your mind, body, and spirit. It can be just a few minutes daily if you haven’t done anything for a while.

Eventually, you want to have something that contains all four groups: cardio, strengthening, flexibility, and detox. I walk for cardio and detox (break a sweat) and do yoga or ballet warm-ups for strengthening and flexibility.

Nutrition is not just about what we eat, but how w

Nutrition is not just about what we eat, but how we eat and how we digest the food we consume.
‍
Do you agree?
‍
The Chopra Health course (that I am now practice-teaching and soon to be certified in), presents the science behind our digestive system. It’s like I’m hearing my mom and Nana saying: “Sit and eat in peace,” “Calm down before you eat,” “Don’t run from the table too fast, let your food digest…” LOL
‍
Did you know that digestion starts before we take the first bite?
‍
Did you know that food provides both energy and information that our bodies and our minds need to function properly and efficiently?
‍
How we metabolize food determines how our bodies absorb the nutrients and how they process and eliminate toxins.
‍
I love (re)learning about this and applying it to my everyday life.
‍
As much as I love to skip down to the Farmer’s Market on an occasional Saturday morning and take the whole day to cook, preparing a beautiful meal doesn’t have to be a huge production.
‍
All it takes is paying attention – sitting down, putting my phone away during meals, serving food on a nice plate, blessing it and feeling grateful for it, noticing what I eat, noticing the colors and textures of the food, and eating in peace without rushing…
‍
And lingering afterward for a few minutes to allow my body to start breaking down the last bite. Then I move a bit before I sit down on my office chair to work.
‍
When I was learning about Mindful Eating as a part of nutrition, one thing jumped at me: gratitude helps digestion.
‍
This week, I invite you to observe and take notice of what you eat and how you eat.
‍
P.S. I wrote a blog post about how gratitude helps digestion. Head to the blog (link in bio) to read it!

This was the first Easter that two of my kids were

This was the first Easter that two of my kids weren’t home.

Yes, I miss them. Yes, I feel sad when I think of how fast the years have passed and that they aren’t little boys anymore (when my oldest was a baby, someone told me ‘days feel long, but years go by fast.’ So true, isn’t it?).

I let myself feel it but I don’t hold onto it. I don’t want to be stuck grieving what I don’t have anymore.

Life is ever-changing and ever-transforming. There is no use in planting your feet into the ground and resisting change and the transformation that comes with it.

There’s no use in feeling grumpy because those around us change, grow up, and follow their own paths.

Memories are beautiful, but they shouldn’t feel like shackles around our ankles.

Instead, we can make them into a mountain of treasure that lifts us up and opens our view to see farther and wider.

🐰 How was your Easter?

P.S. This week I wrote a blog post about resisting change and transformation.

An Easter Reflection Resurrection Reawakens ever

An Easter Reflection

Resurrection
Reawakens every part of my being
The mystery of Love
Radiates
Like crisp morning air.
It fills my lungs as I breathe in
Renewing my cells with new life
Restoring my soul with hope and joy

Words are clunky
And square
And too black and white
On the screen,
Failing to express
The awe
Of the Easter morning

Reflected in my heart
Remnants of grief
as heavy as a moonless night.
Tears as big as fat drops of rain
Come unexpected,
Constricting my chest
Making me want to hide
Until it’s over.
Pain like rain is
Necessary
To wake up the seeds
Restoring the life within
Returning everything good and bright to me.

Compassion, forgiveness, grace, and mercy
Bloom as the dawn gets bright
I give thanks
It’s Easter.
It’s here.
Rejoice
Receive

(I don’t own these words, and can’t say I came up with them. I only held the pen and wrote them down as my heart dictated. Blessings to all 🙏🏻)

How I buy shoes: I look at all the (way too many 🤦‍♀️) choices, narrow down to two favorites, buy them both and bring home to test for comfort (and how they look with my outfits), decide on one, return the other. 🤷🏼‍♀️🥂. Good, right? 😂 (I don’t buy many shoes so the ones I do buy have to be just right). Plus I take pics and send to my friends and it’s fun to have them help me decide. 💕 ... because sometimes this process can become ridiculous and stressful (just ask my mama @stefymatejas 😂😂😂)

Do you ever wonder why sometimes you can make a decision fast, and sometimes it takes you longer? Or maybe you are indecisive all the time?

When we are told we were wrong (as kids or adults) and begin to believe it, it weakens our confidence and connection with inner guidance. (We can strengthen our “decision muscle” with some coaching tools or therapy).

It can also be a sign of a lifestyle that leaves you ungrounded. (Stress, doing too much, eating while working or watching TV, constantly moving, etc) In Ayurveda, I’m learning now, it’s a Vata imbalance. Also can be balanced by nutrition, breathing techniques, and a change in your daily routine.

In either case, you CAN change indecisiveness. And then you can still have fun having your friends help you make a decision, minus the stress and pressure you might feel when you aren’t aware of what’s going on. 👏🏻

(PS. I love discovering mind+body connections in ordinary little life actions.)
