Morning Mantra: “The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it’s about unbecoming who you are not.”

Finding yourself is not how it really works. You are not a $10 bill in last winter‘s coat pocket. You’re also not lost.

Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people’s opinions, and the inaccurate conclusions you made as a kid. These became your belief system about who you are.

Finding yourself is really more like returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got his hands on you. 

Start by removing anything or anyone that makes you do or be something that doesn't fit.  You'll know the feeling of trying to squeeze into someone else's expectations. You'll recognize what doesn't belong by the way it makes you feel.

Even when you feel lost, please, keep discovering. Not for a person, but for your passion, your love, your light, your courage, your goals, your gifts, your dreams, yourself.  

Unbecoming is a life long commitment to self discovery. Enjoy the journey.

Morning Mantra: “I have enough, I am enough, I do enough.”

If you live in a constant state of want, then you never feel grateful for everything you have already, and you live with a feeling of lack.

If you don’t accept yourself, with all your mistakes, flaws and imperfections, then you’ll live in a state of fear about how people perceive you.

If you are always running around in constant busyness and you never stopping long enough for reflection, self-care, or peace, you’ll live in a state of anxiety of not getting everything done.

One day, you’ll wake up and realize that this isn’t how you want to feel anymore and you’ll be done with the wanting more, criticizing yourself, and rushing around trying to accomplish too much.

The only things there never is “enough” of is love and peace and when you decide that those are your priorities, your entire life will change.

Morning Mantra: “The sky would be really dark with just one star.”

Right now, more than ever, we need to find what connects us, what we have in common, rather than what our differences are.  That's really hard to do when we make judgmental assumptions about the people we encounter. It’s a difficult task as humans are wired to be judgey. But it’s possible.

What if we start by looking for the good in everyone we meet (in person and online) and respecting their journey. What if we say something kind to everyone today- even something as simple as a compliment about their appearance. What if we just started accepting people as they are.

What if we started treating others as we want to be treated? Remember, we rise by lifting others.  We should be lifting each other up and cheering each other on, not trying to outshine one another.

Morning Mantra: “I am proud of the person I am becoming because I've worked hard to get to know me.”

The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. As you do your mindset will change, your priorities will change, your tastes will change, and your tolerance will change. It can be scary and strange but life is all about change. 

Life is about learning who you really are. It’s about getting back to the deepest part of you, your essence. Don’t stay in a situation or in relationships that are not helping you grow mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.  Unfortunately, some people were not put here to evolve. They are here to remind you of what it looks like if you don’t.

Sometimes we can feel guilty because the person we once were isn’t who we are now. When we evolve, we move out of alignment with certain people around us. We basically outgrow them. 

Don’t feel bad about it. Stand proud of who you are now. Honor your growth. The people who are meant to be in your life will support you.

Morning Mantra: “Every choice in life either moves you forward, or keeps you stuck.”

Your life is a series of habits that are formed from choices you make every single day.
We all think we are products of what happened TO us. That we are handed the lives we have and are expected to keep them. We’re not. What happens to us is simply a starting point. What we DO in response is what life is really about.
And the cool thing is, you get to choose that response. So…

If you want healing, then you’ve got to choose to face what hurt you.
If you want growth, you choose to put in the work.
If you want a healthy relationship, you choose to learn how to communicate your needs.                           
If you want happiness you choose to focus on what brings you joy.

But, your main choice, the one you re-make every single day, is to either let what happens to you hold you back, or use what happens to propel you forward.

Morning Mantra: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive!"

Life, this glorious life, is not simply meant to be endured. You are meant to soar, to stumble then flourish as you learn to fall in love with your existence.

We were born to LIVE not merely exist.

The best thing I ever did in my adult life was start digging deep and asking myself why I am the way I am and why I do the things the way I do. It takes a ton of work and intentionality, but getting to know myself on a deeper level really helped me thrive, to live my best life.

I learned what lights a fire within me, how to set boundaries so I didn’t feel used or abused, I learned how to enjoy the present moment, how to take risk without worrying about the outcome, and how to not take life so seriously. This helps me really live!

There is a light of love and happiness within each of us that can never be diminished or extinguished. It can only be obscured by forgetting who we are. Remember who you are and thrive.

Quotes: Maya Angelou and Deepak Chopra

Morning Mantra: “Today could be the best day of my life!”

The attitude you bring to the day is what the day will bring to you. Good attitude equals good day.

There are certain things that can increase the probability of you having a good day. 

Start the morning with gratitude rather than dread about what you have to do to that day.

Take a nice walk in nature first thing instead of using the time to doom scroll on social media. Listen to the birds and the wind in the trees.  Nature is a form of meditation and can release “feel good” hormones.

Maybe do a workout and then eat a healthy breakfast rather than skipping it and going through fast food. How you treat your body and what you put in it makes the difference in how it feels.

Maybe FaceTime someone you love, or the very least, text them a positive message. Sharing a smile or kind words does as much for you as it does for them.

When you take control of the day you want to have, and begin it with high vibrational activities and food, it doesn’t guarantee that nothing bad will happen, but it increases the probability that you will be able to handle anything that happens with peace in your heart.

Morning Mantra: “You may not control all of the events that happened to you, but you could decide not to be reduced by them.”

Life gets easier when you stop fighting it. The rain will fall whether you complain or not. Traffic will exist whether you are stressed or not. People act how they want whether you worry or not. Focus on what you can change. Let go of what you can’t.

Don’t get me wrong, we should all fight for things that matter to us, but life would be much easier if we stop resisting things we CAN’T control.  You are not giving up control, you are giving up the illusion of control. You never had control of those things anyway.

Here are things that you can actually control in your life; your honesty, your emotions, your thoughts, your self-confidence, your perspective, who you were friends with, how kind you are to other others, how you spend and invest your money, how much you appreciate what you have.

So focus on those, relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.

Morning Mantra: “Some people come into your life as blessings, some come in as lessons.”

No matter where life leads you, be good and be grateful to the people around you. Every single person has been placed in your life at the perfect moment for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

Maybe you are learning a lesson from them. Maybe you are there to help someone along their journey. Maybe they are here to strengthen your courage or come to grips with your emotions.

Don't try to make people fit where they are not intended.  This can cause you pain and brokenness.  The Universe connects you with the right people that will fit into your life.

Whatever it may be, even if only for a brief moment, you can be certain there is a reason that you meet someone when you do. So honor their presence, however brief or long.

Quote: Mother Teresa

Morning Mantra: “How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.”

Some people think karma is some cosmic punishment but it's not.  It's a universal law of cause and effect.  The law of karma can be perfectly illustrated in, "what goes around comes around". So, for example, the only karma you need to wish for someone who did you wrong, is to let them meet themselves in someone else.

Circumstances can change at any time so you don’t want to devalue or hurt anyone. You may have the power today, but time is more powerful than you, so, you don’t do anything you wouldn’t want done to you. You don’t do anything that brings short-term benefits but creates long-term problems.

All your past actions plant seeds of karma. Even if you’ve done nothing your entire life, you can’t hide anything from yourself. You are your own witness and observer.

You are aware of your own thoughts, feelings, and what you know deep in your heart. Your real intentions. By observing yourself, you can control your karma.  That’s why it’s so important to listen to your inner knowing. Your gut feelings. 

Work on healing yourself and changing the way you feel about your past. Then live in the present, accepting what is and responding from a place of goodness to life’s challenges. Instead of living in constant feelings of shame, pain, resentment, anxiety, envy or anger.

Your actions create your reality, so take care of your karma.
