So, did you make your New Years resolutions yet?

Let me guess... losing weight, right?  Getting fit?  Same resolution as last year, that never really had any traction, but you're totally going to do it this year, right?

We need to talk.  Resolutions are too pass/fail.  They aren't clear or actionable.  The good news is I can help!  Create your #yearoftheslay by setting your clear, actionable slay intentions!

The magic of the new year... but with the same mentality? No! BECOME by doing this one thing!!

Have you found yourself making the same resolutions every year?  The same 10 pounds that are still there from last year, or came back, the same guilt over not sticking with it.  At the beginning of the new year, there's this magical energy that drives us to set new goals, reach new heights, finally lose those pounds...

But here's a secret: none of it will stick if you don't love yourself first.

That's the one thing you can do in 2021: appreciate yourself.  Love yourself as you are.  Be able to look at yourself in the mirror without putting yourself down.  Because guess what?  Life happens.  Things will get in the way.  The way you can keep moving forward is by knowing that you're worth it, and it's possible.

Make your body your best friend, then get excited about the things you can do together.  Make 2021 the year that you are stronger, healthier, and more confident within yourself every day.  When you feel better, you'll take the actions and pick yourself up every time!

SLAY FOUNDER pricing is available now for Slay Transformation Hub and this week I will be doing a special new year event inside the & SHE IS: The Community about creating SLAY intentions & actions... for SLAY results!!

This is the time of year when we start looking forward to the next year and what we desire.  In episode 20, we worked through a gratitude exercise to give us some perspective on what 2020 gave us.  In this episode, we will release the standard resolutions that feel like an all-or-nothing pass/fail struggle and set some intentions instead.

Take the time to truly anchor into what you want to feel in your life.  Set intentions without guilt. Soften into yourself and create a more compassionate approach to growth that aligns with what you desire.

We are very close to the end of 2020 and as we pause to reflect on the year and think about our desires and goals for next year, don't forget to celebrate your success, no matter how tiny it may seem.

In this episode, we will walk through a journaling exercise to help you feel deep gratitude for what 2020 has taught you and gratitude for yourself just for surviving and learning how to pivot and cope.  

Join us in this quiet exercise and feel the strength you have gained!

An interactive workshop in releasing stagnant energy & living life fully ALIVE.

Shannon Keating is an Empowerment Coach for Women & Teens who guides women around the world into deep self love, unwavering self trust, and awakened personal power. Through one-to-one mentorship, global coaching programs, live workshops, and podcast: Unmasked & Open Hearted she supports women through the mental and emotional barriers blocking them from connecting with their bodies, hearing the whispers of their souls, and believing in themselves & their dreams, fully.

One of her many mottos: Let’s get you loving, trusting, and being your MOST expressed self. When you align, everything aligns.

She is multifaceted in her approach and uses her intuitive gifts and wisdom around the value of each woman being a unique & incredible individual to create everything to be an intentional and customized experience for all women who take part in her work. Some tools she uses include: Human Design, Guided Meditation & Visualization, Hypnotherapy, Nutritional Therapy, and Energetic & Emotional Healing Practices.

During this installment of the & She Is Rising Wellness Summit, Shannon will discuss the 5 categories of emotion that women often face in their lives:

• Fear: Fear is an energy we have to learn to work with.  Fear is always going to come up.
• Shame: Don't run away.  Soften and lean in.  "If I were not embarrassed about this, how would I show up?"
• Sadness & Loneliness: Just be in the space.  Music and nature seems to help it release so you're not so scared of it.
• Anger

Emotions are energy.  So-called negative emotions are nothing but uncomfortable energy.  You are not your emotions; they are just a part of the flow of your experience.

Mandy Harvey is a Holistic Worthiness Coach and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. She guides purpose driven women to optimal energy and an embodied life of worth through holistic nutrition. Her work centers on the understanding that when we experience trauma, especially at a young age, it sets in motion our beliefs on how we deserve to be nourished.

These beliefs and doubts of our worthiness and value follow us into our womanhood where we hold these beliefs tightly to our “chest” until at some point they manifest into extreme and chronic health issues. It’s in the unlocking of these physical health issues with holistic nutrition where we reclaim our worth, our voice and our truth and heal ourselves whole in mind, body and spirit.

She believes that highly sensitive women, who own the power of their worth and live a life that has been healed whole, become the model for a new way of being and affect real change in a new generation.

Mandy lives in Colorado with her family where she loves harvesting fresh food from her garden, painting and spending as much time as possible in the beautiful outdoors where she reconnects to herself daily.

When we're growing up, there's always someone there to keep you accountable and make sure you're doing the right thing.  As an adult though, that support isn't always there anymore and we're left with keeping ourselves accountable.  What often happens then is that we tell ourselves we're going to do something, but other things come up and we don't do it.  I'm guilty of this, and it became an all-or-nothing mentality that plagued me for years.  

You can't treat your wellness as all-or-nothing.  You can't obsess over working out, only to abandon it completely if your routine gets off-track.  At the same time, beating yourself up over it is counterproductive.  The way to get past the all-or-nothing habit is to check in with yourself honestly.  What happened and why?  What can you do instead? The trick is to keep showing up for yourself, no matter what.  

Here are some tips to stay accountable to yourself:

1. Keep an activity or meal journal so you can see exactly what is happening.  Keeping track in your head is too emotional and inaccurate.  Track everything - the times you eat, how it makes you feel, and try to identify the patterns and gaps.
2. Find a community of support.  That can be an accountability partner, a gym friend, a Facebook group, family, whatever it is, surround yourself with people who will lift you up and cheer you on.  
3. Look into hiring a coach.  I offer group programs and accountability coaching to help you thrive.
4. Talk to yourself like another person, like someone you care about that needs some tough love.

Yesterday we activated the slay. today we are going to step into the world as her.

There’s so much noise out there.

So many diets, so many workout programs, & endless free education advice...

It is SO great, until it isn’t...

The noise get too loud to hear...

Her whisper.

The slay within you.

Always knows what she wants.

Always is crystal clear what she desires.

Always carries herself & owns it.

Always is confident with her decisions.

Always is showing herself what she is capable of.

Always is leading herself first!

The slay stands tall.

The slay doesn’t allow the noise to shake her from her desires.

This is the slay way!

It no longer is what the NOISE is saying but, your inner compass guides you.

The slay way is the only way for you to unshackle from the chains & break free once & for all...

Will you hear her call?

How do you handle the moments where you have no motivation to workout, eat healthy, or continue on your journey?

How do you handle the moments when there are external situations that are steering you away from the course?

How do you handle the moments where you are ready to call it quits...

Do you say, "my goals and desires are not worth it."

OR.. do you rest & recharge, re-access, & SLAY?

For many years, I was the ALL or nothing type of woman.

The one who that the one day I got sick or had something happened, & missed a workout would go then and binge on food, because it was not even worth it anymore, was this true?

The one who if I couldn't make a workout, I would then obsess over it, & would then punish myself with double the workout time because I fuc*ed up.

The one who one cookie will turn into the whole sleeve, or two..

feeling sorry for myself, guilting, & punishing myself over & over again.

I did not know how to handle it when things didn't go the way I envisioned, so, of course, it derailed me from getting what I wanted.

& I would stop showing up for myself, hard.

I know now that it was because I didn't have what I have now.

The clarity.
The confidence.
& the slay-ttitude to keep going,

no matter what through a mind, body, & soul connection that has been activated & is lit tf up!!

The motivation you are longing for..
The perfect neutral journey toward releasing weight...
The perfect life where NOTHING goes wrong & it all is good vibes, & easy..

doesn't exist.

What does though is your inner slay,

your inner power to show tf up no matter what the situation.

ready to activate her, & stop the all or nothing?

Your inner slay is calling.

The holiday season is often full of stress, emotional eating, and guilt.  What if it didn't have to be that way?  What if you could thrive in joy this holiday season?

You can relieve some of the holiday stress by spending some time with these 3 tips:

1. What do you really want out of this time of year?  What do you truly desire and why?
2. Release the guilt.  If you're doing what you want because it aligns with how you desire to feel during this special time of year, there's no reason to feel guilty!  You don't have to earn your food.
3. Release the guilt about feeling guilty!  Seriously!
