Say It With Me! I Love My Body! My Body Is Perfect! I Love Myself! Today when I woke up I checked my emails and I saw one of Paul Fishman's email.  Now, if you don't  know who he is, Paul Fishman is a self love and confidence mentor. He talks about on his email  how he had posted a picture of himself at the beach showing off his gorgeous body!  He posted  his picture as a powerful message to inspire confidence and accept your own body as is! Guess what!? Instagram took it down.  Paul said Instagram stated it was violating community guidelines! As a social experiment he then decided to report  some pictures he had seen that are more provocative just to see what would happen. He received an answer back from In stagram saying his reports were not valid yet his own post was violating community guidelines!  How does this even make sense? Paul Fishman expresses "Why is my body being censored? Is it because my body doesn't look like the mainstream expect...

I Am...     I am happy, I am confident, I am accepting of all that I am, I am healthy, I am abundance, I am deserving of all that I desire. These are some examples, of I am positive affirmations but there are millions! I was listening to an I Am positive affirmation meditation video this morning and it got me thinking. How easy or difficult is it to change your mindset? I have tried to use positive affirmations when I remember a couple times a week. I am busy working and on my two days off I am stuck with errands, so it is hard to focus on myself.  I always tell myself "Oh Ill do it tomorrow". I am sure many can identify with me. However, now You and I have the time to practice these positive I am affirmations! So I would like to challenge you to look into a mirror or even just randomly when your in the shower Start saying I am... You could even look up some affirmations that resonate well with you. I keep thinking how much of what we were told or taught when...

Thought I would share some motivation for today. We are all going through a rough time right now. However, it is important to remember after it rains the sun comes back up sometimes even brighter than it was before it rained. After darkness there is light. It will get better. I know it is hard to be patient I am going through negative thoughts too, but the best thing we can do is keep hope up and trust in the universe/ God/ the divine/ whoever or whatever you believe in that everything Unfolds in perfect timing. We are where we are supposed to be to learn something ans be ready for better things to come soon!

I saw this Quote at perfect timing! Right when I needed it. So I am sure if you are here you are meant to see it and hope it helps you!  During this stay at home period I have been thinking a lot about my life. Its funny Isn't it... only when we take the time to slow down is when we actually have the time to stay still, be quiet, and listen to our mind and heart. I have been wanting to make a change in my life for a couple of months now.. but I've been scared. Before this whole virus event I was in a state of boredom and just going through daily life as a robot. I knew in my heart I was craving something different but, I didn't do anything to change. Change can be scary... but if We don't 'make a change and act then how will things change? We are so used to the comfortable and when we think towards the unknown we get uncomfortable. However, We need the uncomfortable in order to grow and learn. Yesterday I randomly got a message, it sought me. It...
