 When you grow up believing you're not enough, you spend the rest of your life trying to be enough. The problem with this narrative is that you stop looking inward for answers and the rest of your life is spent looking to others for validation, which, unfortunately, keeps you small and repressed because you cannot be in the light if you live for the approval of others. Your relationships will feed into this story because there are personalities that have an inflated sense of self-importance and they like to be in control so they seek out sensitive humans who look to compliment and serve. They are masters at gaslighting and have a remarkable way of making you doubt yourself. With the right work, the proper tools and a commitment to heal, you can become the person you were always meant to be before the messaging that kept you small. This kind of commitment is not easy my friends. The mind doesn’t want anything to do with change. The awakening process is hard and often heartbreaking, BUT when you finally choose you, something within you awakens and says, "YES! She sees me; a glimmer of me anyways. And I'm here, buried beneath years of self-doubt. Reach for me. Give me your hand and pull me up from the depths of this vulnerable muck." And then just like that you can never go back. You will never allow anyone to make you feel small or insignificant ever again. You will never feel that you are being too sensitive or that everything you do is wrong. You will no longer be someone you are not. You will be your own protective warrior, your nurturing mother, and you will stand up for that little girl no matter what. And it will be the happiest moment of your life and you will live Happier Ever After. The end. That's my story and it's so damn beautiful. Now go get your little girl. She needs you.

 Checking in to see where you’re at these days. For a year we were caught up in our opinions and judgements; in the stress of the pandemic and how the world was responding. Couple that with the elections and all the rhetoric and it was consuming us mentally and emotionally. Spring is here, people are getting vaccinated, and the world is opening up. Our bodies are settling a bit, but the mind continues to race. There’s a lot to process as we re-engage. There’s a lot of change to embrace and there is a lot of growth to integrate. The mind doesn’t want anything to do with change. It likes the channels it has dug out over the years and it’s totally comfortable telling the same stories and having the same repeating thoughts. It doesn’t want to shift into a new paradigm of being in the world, but we’ve all learned a little something from this and it’s our responsibility to do better. Change is a process and it requires daily maintenance and patience and effort. Implement a mindset of presence and watch how your life unfolds. Enact an attitude of kindness and see what shifts. Act and behave consciously and see how your life lights up. Pay attention and watch the mind with acute awareness and see what you notice. What stories do you keep telling yourself? What mindsets are so reactive that you’re blaming everyone else for everything wrong in your life? What behaviors in others are eliciting a strong emotional response? What keeps you from living your best life? What triggers you to be defensive? What makes you feel so entitled? Why the need to always be right and why the obsession to control? Observe yourself in the world and try to be a little kinder and more open. Breathe slowly and mindfully. Take care of yourself and know that you are dearly loved and that it’s okay to let go and have faith in the beautiful changes around you. Love & Light, BeAnne 🖤🖤🖤 Zoom Live Stream: Sunday April 25th, 10am-11:15am EDT. The session will open at 9:45am so please arrive early to get settled so you are ready to begin at 10am.

It’s quite spectacular what a little time at the beach can do for a girl's state of mind. For years I thought yoga was for people who just wanted to stretch and that wasn't me. My mind was conditioned to perform, to work harder, and to sweat. Who needed to stretch? I had calories to burn. I pushed and pushed until something broke and it always came at a cost. We as humans are designed to survive, but as we have moved into the modern world our survival mechanisms aren’t saving us from wild tigers or bears, but from all the devices and environmental stimulants. We are in survivor mode (all.the.time) and our bodies weren’t meant to endure this kind of stress. While all this pushing may very well make us stronger and more resilient, it stresses the nervous systems to the point of exhaustion and then we explode. We snap at our children, talk down to our partners, speak rudely to strangers or get injured or sick. Why are we living in this reactive stressful state? It’s way easier to manage the stress than to behave irrationally or to come unhinged. A dear friend of mine recently listened to a podcast where a young Iditarod musher was being interviewed. She was talking about the importance of caring for her dogs during the race and said that she gave her dogs snacks, water, and rest BEFORE they needed them because it was easier to prevent fatigue than to recover from it. What if we took better care of ourselves and took the time to rest? We could prevent fatigue and overwhelm and be much more at peace. Instead, we push and do and go until we break and then, and only then, do we stop. One of the good things that came out of the pandemic was that it forced everyone to stop and it’s not that our work stopped, but we were given a chance to suspend travel for awhile and not be in the car so much. We weren't out running unnecessary errands or going out to eat or being out in the world with no awareness. Now that we’re moving back towards a new normal, what mechanisms are you putting in to place to prevent exhaustion? Take the time my friends or the body will take it for you and it won’t be nearly as pleasant. We’ve all been there. Love & Light, BeAnne 🖤🖤🖤 Zoom Live Stream: Sunday April 18th, 10am-11:15am EDT.
