Journey to Health: A Week Of Dialogue With My Heart
If I had to describe my time at Yasodhara ashram in 5 words or phrases, I’d choose: dialogue connecting rooting finding my power opened up my heart and letting it sing But my 7 day trip definitely didn’t start out this way. I spent Thursday evening in Cranbrook at a lovely Bed & Breakfast, then…
Reconnecting With Self
Life is full of ups and downs. When you’re experiencing an up you forget about the down, and when you’re down you think you’re never going to be up again. Although a challenge to accept at times, I’ve learned to embrace the opportunities that present themselves during these low moments. It’s a perfect time to…
I am Accepting
Past positive affirmations project posts: Introduction and I am Fit. A couple of weeks ago, a close girlfriend and I were chatting about how often we plan out our lives, down to every detail. And, how devastated we get when the plans don’t go our way. When in all reality, those unplanned changes end up…
I am Fit
I was blown away with the amount of feedback all of you left on Saturday’s positive affirmations project post. Some included: Chelsea: I believe in myself everyday and on days I don’t it’s only because I know I’m not pushing myself to be my best. When that happens I get up and do something about…
Positive Affirmations
It wasn’t until recently that I noticed how often I spoke down to myself. From thinking I wasn’t good enough, that I couldn’t accomplish the task at hand, or that someone was better than me. I told myself these things without a second thought. Negativity and self sabotage had become such a huge part of…
Food For Thought: My Personal Reflection on Nutrition Choices
[source] It was brought to my attention earlier today, that the post I’d written this morning may have offended some readers. I want to let everyone know that it was not my intention to judge the mother or undermine her parenting. I do not know her situation at home, her finances, health, self-esteem or self-worth….
Welcoming my 25th Year
I’ve been 25 for 6 days. I don’t know what I was expecting, but thankfully, I feel just the same. The older you get, the wiser you are, right? As I explained on Tuesday, I like to welcome each of my birthdays with a list of goals that I hope to accomplish for the upcoming…
Operation: Kill the Yeasty Beasties
A little over a month ago, I had just finished my allergy testing and was preparing for additional tests/shots with my Naturopath. In an attempt to begin ridding myself of low energy, control my blood sugar, decrease my fuzzy brain and get rid of my bad skin while I went through additional testing, I set…
Journey To Health: 6 Years To Find Myself
My birthday is coming up in exactly 40 days, not like I’m counting or anything. I’m turning the big 25 [it’s big to me] and I couldn’t be more excited, scared, mortified, or anxious. Since I was little, I’ve treated my birthday as others treat the New Year. I set goals for the upcoming year,…
Coconut Curry + Miso Gravy Luscious Bowls
Two of my many cleanse goals are to… Eliminate my evening grazing and prepare myself a proper dinner. I’ve been having fun coming home and creating dinners for myself. Instead of approaching it as a chore, I allow myself to get creative, take my time, and marvel in the silence that is my kitchen. It’s…
