Letting go of what’s holding you back.

Wellness is not only about your physical body, but also your mental and emotional state. A lot of us are carrying around baggage in the form of unconscious beliefs that are holding us back in ways we probably don’t even realize. 

Our beliefs, and how we view the world, have been shaped by things that happened to us when we were children, and things we were told by parents, teachers, relatives, and other individuals in our lives. Our unconscious beliefs can limit us in ways that we think, in the choices that we make, and can hold us back from realizing and living our truth.

“If you can show up for yourself every day with gentleness, kindness, and love, then the quality of your life will be that much sweeter.” - Shari Alyse (32:31 - 32:41)

To achieve true health and wellness, sometimes we need to release thoughts and beliefs that are holding us back and replace them with beliefs that will move us towards the life that we deserve. Once you release the negativity, you can refill yourself with positive beliefs, tools, tips to rebuild and reset your life in a way that serves you well.

How to let go of your past and life a fulfilled life.

Create a healing environment - In order to be healthy and happy on the inside, you need to create an external environment that supports healing. A healing space will allow you to release what is holding you back from being your most joyful and radiant self. At home, try to create a space that is as stress-free as possible. Dedicate a space and time for self-care and activities you enjoy, like meditating or reading. You can also consider attending a retreat that will help you remove limiting beliefs and connect with others on a similar path.

Embrace challenges - There will always be challenges no matter what you’re trying to achieve. Remember, real growth only happens under pressure. You will discover your authentic power and calling through the problems that you have to overcome in your life. Embrace obstacles and setbacks, and remember to be kind to yourself through each step of the way. If you’re gentle and accepting of yourself, your journey through life will be significantly more pleasant.

“It was a pivotal and life-changing moment for me when I decided not to hold anyone to any expectations, and not allow their judgment of me to navigate my journey.” 

- Anna Pereira (32:48 - 33:04)

Connect with your tribe - Whether it’s online or in real life, you need to connect with a community that will support you. Being surrounded by supportive and like-minded people will allow you to connect with your true self and live the life that you’re meant to. They will help you realize that you don’t have to live your life according to the expectations of others and that you’re not defined by the judgment of others. The right community is one of the most critical aspects of healing, and to achieving health and wellness.

You deserve to live a life full of joy, fulfillment, and surrounded by the people who support your journey. Take the time to create a space that fosters healing, embrace the challenges you may be facing right now, and to find those people that will give you love while withholding judgment. Step into a life of health and wellness TODAY.
