  Choices

  Valentines day was yesterday- I was with my family the whole day. I woke up with a sore neck and I was in pain, but I chose to let love overpower that bad energy in my neck.. And guess what- it did. I focused on feeling good rather than feeling bad, and I had a wonderful day! We ate, laughed, watched movies and it was perfect. We come across choices everyday, and our future depends on those choices. Some choices are big, some are small like choosing our thoughts (small) which lead to actions (big). From the time that we wake up until the time we go to sleep we make chioces pretty much the whole day. So start with choosing to be happy all day, or to look at things in a positive way and see how that changes your experience for the better. You are the only one that can make that happen, because you shouldn’t depend on anyone or anything to make you happy. Feel complete and be your own best friend, because that’s the only way you can make it through any situation, and make it work for you.

  Forgive

  Forgive is more than just a word, it’ s a miracle. By choosing to forgive you allow love and positivity enter your body. Don’t play the victim, otherwise you will be stuck and unhappy. Let go and forgive- whether it’s your friend, family member or even yourself. Forgiving means you live in the present and not the past. To start, close your eyes and say “I forgive you”, you will instantly feel lighter.. Practice makes perfect

  Your EGO- not so bad afterall (if you know how to use it)

  Many new age books say not to listen to your ego. I say use it to your benefit, since you can use anything negative to your advantage. Normally we reffer to the ego as that nasty bug in your hear who tells you negative statements about yourself and inject fear into your daily life, which stops you from doing what you are really capable of and what you want to do. By being aware of your thoughts, see what you are telling yourself. Notice weather you are your own cheerleader or your own enemy. Use affirmations like, “I am powerful” and “I am successfull” and notice how you feel. If you feel any discomfort after saying those affirmations, it’s time to reevaluate your situation. Not untill you can say “I am successful” and really, truly believe it in your gut- can you make positive changes and live a more rewarding and happy life. When you wake up, when you brush your teeth, wheen you make your food, when you do your daily tasks - ANYTIME in your day, repeat positive affirmations. You can create your own or to start, you can use the following; “I am the creator of my life experience”, “I see everything in my life as a gift from the universe”, “I am funny”, “I am creative and make people smile”… The possibilities are endless- so find what works for you and discover the power within yourself.

  Are you ready?

  “When the student is ready, the master appears”- Buddhist proverb
  I remember before I received my “aha moment”, that if anyone spoke to me about anything spiritual or reffer to the word higher being I wouldn’t be interested. Maybe I would pretend to listen and think I know what’s being talked about, but honestly it would go in one ear and out the other. There has been a major shift in my life in the past three or four years. A shift that changed my life for the better and made everything make sense. I now talk to people and they ask me “what happened, you seem so different”. Truth be told I’m not different, I’m just being myself. I am being who I always wanted to be, doing what I want to do. Eventhough few years ago I looked happy, and I think I was, it was different. I did what everyone did and not what I really wanted to do. Not that I regret it, because afterall I wouldn’t be where I am now -physically,mentally and spiritually. So now I I live from inside out not from outside in, doing things and going places where few years ago I would consider boring and pointless. I love that I can do nothing, or be completely engaged and maintain complete stillness and peace. So I understand when I talk to people- sometimes they have no idea what I’m talking about but I do my best to explain in the simplest terms I know how, and even if they don’t understand at that moment, its ok because the seed is planted and that’s where the curiosity begins. My seed was planted about four years ago when I had no idea what was happening around me, but I wanted answers and they came to me in various forms. I started practicing yoga, became a vegan and became a positive thinker. The real gift is to remain true to yourself and in the moment no matter what’s going on around you. I meditate daily, incorporating practices where ever I go. I am a metaphysics junkie and proud of it.

  Get younger

  We can’t change our chronological age but you can change your biological age by reversing the aging process. Many people believe that as they get older they deteriorate.. that statement couldn’t be more false. There is hope if you want to feel and look younger. Every year over 98 percent of all of the atoms in the human body have been exchanged. Now it’s up to you how youthful you want to be. There are many ways to stay younger,on top of the list are eating healthy well balanced meals, physical and mental activity, love, and practicing awareness. Other things that can kep you young and grow younger and wiser- laughter, meditation, go to workshops, visit new places, sing, write in a journal, tell stories, cook, play board games, dance, read- always stimulate your mind to grow.
  Only speak good of others and see the beauty in everything. Eventhough we appear solid, everything is a field of energy which is so intelligent and very beneficial if used wisely.

  Be happy now

  I was listening to a audio book by Eckhart Tolle (whose work I absolutely love),the other day in my car and he said something very interesting. It’s something I already knew but it really made me think deeply about the subject of “being happy now”. A lot of people set rules for their happiness, saying ” I will be happy ONLY if I loose weight, or find the right partner, or reach a certain career goal” - well I say that’s just silly. We are humans and by nature we are evolving all the time- so if you reach a certain goal or some thought you set for yourself, you will be thinking of “what’s next” and have bigger goals and dreams than when you started. Does that mean now you’re gonna put on hold the idea of being happy? NOOO! Of course not!! The point is to be happy now- there is always something to be happy about. Start being grateful for the little and big things in your life, don’t set limits to your happiness. Only when you are truly happy with yourself, you can achieve what you really want- and a lot of times it’s not that car, or clothes- its the non tangible, like love, faith and well being. It’s never too early or too late to feel good. Start now so that feeling can grow into a bigger and better feeling. Practice compassion and love towards your self, and be present. Each and every one of us is loved in so many beautiful ways, feel that love and BE HAPPY :)

  new Beginings

  Happy new year everyone!! Wow- 2010 a start of a new decade. Makes you think huh? Well, maybe or maybe not- but I know a lot of people around this time think of a new year resolution. So I decided that for 2010 I will keep in touch with more people. I realized that within a couple of years I lost touch with many friends or aquaintances for no particular reason. I know people get busy, have responsibilities and have other things on their mind, but that shouldn’t take away from them being connected to others. Even if they don’t have the same hobbies, or hang around same friends- we are all one and we feel it more when we give others a chance. I was looking through my phone book and realized I don’t talk to 90% that’s on my list! That’s insane I think. So instead of talking to the same 5 people everyday- because we all just love a routine because it’s “safe”, I will contact one or more person a day to see how they are doing. Today I started with my resolution and emailed three “new” people, and let me tell you that it feels amazing!! It feels great to let someone know you are thinking of them and that they matter, we all need to feel that at least once a day. Who knows, it might make their day or it might even make your day! So go outside of the box and look through your address book and contact someone you normally wouldn’t today- even if its been years. You never know, you might make a close friend or even start a relationship. Afterall you have their information for a reason right? So find out what that reason is. Don’t be shy, get out there!!

  Power of being grateful

  Thank you is such a powerful word, I don’t think we use it enough sometimes.  Besides the simple gestures or gifts from people, there are many other things that we should be grateful for.  It is vital to try to focus on all the things you are grateful for each morning and night for a few minutes just laying on your bed or starting a gratitude journal.  This shifts your energy and thoughts to positive and abundant life.

  To be happy, you have to be willing to be happy now- for what you have now.  If you think you’ll be more happy once you have something you think you need, or once you achieve a certain level of success (personal, work-related, or even a dream idea of a life)- you will miss out on so much.  Being thankful for what you have in the present moment- while in pursuit of what you desire- is the formula for success.  The more great things you are grateful for- the more the universe will provide you with.  On the flip side, if you think of negative things in your life- the universe will bring you more of that.  It’s really that simple.  Try to get in the habit now- so you can enjoy more of life’s great gifts.

  Remind yourself of your blessings- whether it’s your family, your friends or that you have food everyday that gives you energy.. remind yourself of these things, no matter how small or big you think they are.

  Let’s take a time out to focus and try to visualize the following blessings we are given each day-

  (My quick list off the top of my head) - The air we breathe, every single cell of perfect bodies, water, fire, telephones, clothes, shoes, toiletries, flowers, nailpolish =) , magazines, books, internet, knowledge, fashion, healthy vegan food, laughter, family, vacations, romance, positive aspects, library, colors, being healthy wealthy and wise, gym, peace, love, writing, refrigerator, being active, massage, good hair day, tattoos, freedom, goals, hobbies, clean house, focus, pictures, camera, diamonds, success, security, Oprah, running in the morning, yoga, make-up… I can go on and on… and I usually do think of more in my head and really appreciate for my abundant life that keeps giving.

  So what are you thankful for???

  Xoxo,

  Never by many marvels. Wrought,
  By one or two are the dreams first caught…
  The dreamer must toil when the odds are great,
  Must stand to failure and work and wait…
  Must keep his faith though he stand alone,
  Until the truth of his dream is known.

  What are your thoughts?

  Life is fabulous- if that is what you want. What happens a lot of times is that a person thinks they know what they want but have no idea what that is.

  Ask yourself the following:
  -Who am I?
  -What do I want in life?
  -What do I want to accomplish?
  -Am I happy right now?
  -Am I doing what I love?
  -Do I give myself enough credit for my accomplishments?

  You can either write your thoughts down on a piece of paper, or better yet a journal. You can also start by thinking about these questions and have a dialogue with your self in your head (you would be amazed what you come up with). You see, a lot of times we go about our day thinking without realizing what our thoughts actually are, and that is pretty scary considering our thoughts create our reality. Think about that for a moment. It is a very powerful statement. So powerful that in fact it might change your life- if you decide to be in charge of your thoughts that is. The choice of thought is yours- use it wisely.

  Yoga videos vs. Yoga classes

  Yesterday I went to my vinyasa yoga class (1 1/2 hrs.), it’s been a while since I went to a class although I maintained my daily practice at home. Eventhough I became a certified yoga instructor, I do enjoy going to different classes weekly, one can never learn enough from teachers. I have done yoga for almost 4 years and I swear I learn something new every time. The best part of learning yoga is that it helps so much outside of class (or your home). Besides the fact that it helps you stay fit and in tune with your body, which is what lured me in, there is a lot more to yoga practice than just that. I learned to stay in the moment no matter what situations arise, and always stay positive. That one negative thought vibration can change the upcoming events, but with the control learned from practice you can bounce right back to focus on your goal and achieve so much more.

  Keep in mind that while Yoga videos are awesome, convenient and (a lot) cheaper- they do not compare to a real yoga class. Especially new students which should learn the basics from a teacher first- to understand proper poses for their body (teachers can adjust you- something a dvd will not do). Once you learn the main poses, you become less prone to injury when you follow a video. Yoga teachers will change positions for every class so that students can learn something new each time, which also keeps classes exciting. Even though many yoga teachers aren’t doctors, we are familiar with problem areas and know which poses a student can benefit from even improving many conditions that are usually treated by prescription drugs. It’s so much deeper than “just stretching”, it truly changes lives for the better, simpler and rewarding living.

  Tonight I’m attending a power yoga class. One of my favorites. Although you need some knowledge in basic yoga positions (they move at a faster pace), the results are amazing. I feel accomplished when I leave, like I can do anything. It’s a great feeling to have, especially if you are reaching that certain goal.

  When the creative bug bites you….

  So last night I went to bed at 6am… lately been busy with many things so I haven’t been sleeping as usual. I woke up around 12, and have been a busy bee. I made a bunch of shirts for yoga which can also be worn with different items (I will post some pics soon).. I think tomorrow I will wear one with some skinny jeans. It was def a creative day for sure. Yesterday I made a skirt out of jeans that I have never worn..

  Creativity is my drug. I can escape from all my worries, problems and just things that I don’t want to think about by being artsy. There is so many possibilities, you should never be bored. From cutting up tee shirts that you don’t wear in fun ways, trying different make up (just grab a magazine and have fun with colors), make jewelry, style different outfits(with your accessories) and take pictures of it and put it in a binder for easy access and some inspiration when you have nothing to wear, do some yoga, go for a walk, call a friend you haven’t seen in a while, cook gourmet food (vegan of course..hehe), organize your closet, look at pictures from the past-either by your self or with a close one and reminisce (most of the things I have done today)…. The possibilities are truly endless… just look around

  I’m going to LA in a week and it’s my first time… I can’t begin to describe how lucky I feel. It’s always been my dream to see what it’s like and I always wanted to live there. I’m going with a friend of mine and I know it’s gonna be a killer time. We’re even taking a road trip to Vegas!! How exciting?? I’m looking forward to trying some vegan restaurants, I heard there are many great ones-unlike NJ… hint hint to NJ… lol, Well, regardless if there are any restaurants around or not I always appreciate a good home cooked meal, which is what I do mostly everyday.

  Well time to do some pm yoga, then get some zzzz’s - it’s gonna be a long day tomorrow.
