Love & Life Elevated

Between early 2020 and now, loneliness has only increased. Along with that comes a 50% increased risk for early death and three-fold increased risk for stroke or heart attack. The solution begins with acknowledging how you feel, being vulnerable, and reaching out, beginning right here.

Today's message is about Eudaimonia - when we are living in full alignment with one's deepest values. Living your highest values and expression directly correlates to lowering inflammation and risk for overall mortality.

Today I'm sharing a message that I've shared with thousands of people over my course of clinical practice. Become a witness to your own beauty, your talents. Commit to being a little more awake to the good that you already are and that you already have.

Are you tired and wired? Gandhi once said, "There is more to life than increasing its speed." This is a favorite quote of mine. Mindfulness is one of the most beautiful and powerful practices we can bring into the world. This is all about gratitude and connection to the heart.

How is what you are putting in your body showing up with how you are out-picturing in the world? What is your ROI - your return on ingestion? Today I am sharing some nutritional approaches to building your bliss, increasing your happiness, optimism, motivation, energy, and mental fitness.

Perhaps you've had a similar upbringing as me, perhaps not. Have you allowed yourself to really feel and give yourself permission to let go of toxic shame? Shame is an addiction that weighs heavy on many of us. The antidote to that is "naming to tame" and letting go of perfectionism.

You do not need to be on top of all things at all times. I am simply suggesting that we be courageous enough to "not know" what's going on. But to connect deeply with our hearts' knowing. Be someone that others want to be around. It's that simple.

The opportunity for optimism begets hope. This is the number one quality of leadership. Underneath all of hope are love and possibility. There is a vulnerability like no time before. People are searching for heroes. People are searching for hope. Show it, love it, be it.

Today I'm talking about the meaning of words. It's about the word, genius, in particular. The word genius means "spirit power." The power of your spirit to come through you. And I'm sharing this from my personal experience with dyslexia and what I perceived early on as failure.

"We are at the beyond reason point of our evolution..." ~ Caroline Myss. Common humanity needs to come together to support and encourage one another. We need to find ways to come together and let go of personal agendas, where we are only after what moves our personal needle.
