ENERGY


Everything comes down to energy. 

Health (both mental and physical) is about energy.

Time management is about energy. 

Productivity and efficiency are about energy.

Relationship building is about energy.

Learning, attention and concentration are about energy. 


When low, very little happens.

When mindfully high, you become unstoppable.

YOUR LIFE FEELS JOYFUL! 


You experience what the French so beautifully coined:

Joie de vivre!



In today's busy world, it's easy to get caught up with endless to-do lists and mindless engagements that serve little purpose other than to keep you on the proverbial hamster wheel of busy-ness. 


Jumping from thought to thought and task to task keeps you from silencing your mind for even 30 seconds to catch your breath. Today's hectic, high-tech lifestyle of constant distractions has turned most of us into human DO-ings rather than Human Be-ings. 

Frenzied days, accelerating to an unsustainable speed, result in getting nowhere fast! Many are reporting feeling "wound up" and irritable. Others are adding "burned out" and "exhausted" to the mix. The end result?  MIND & BODY FATIGUE!

The combination of this fatigue is lethargy which translates into diminished motivation and energy to get through the day. This will eventually affect your physical health, potentially giving rise to inflammatory and stress-related diseases, and your brain's frontal lobes' executive functions; the areas responsible for planning, concentrating, focusing, critical thinking, working memory, decision making, and both emotional and behavioral regulation. 

Once you enter into EXECUTIVE FUNCTION FATIGUE (EFF), you will have little energy to focus and efficiently get through your day. 


Your ability to focus is a super-power as very little success occurs in life when one is not focused. BUT WHAT IF IT COULD BE DIFFERENT? What if you can wake up with direction? With a purpose for your day? With enthusiasm to get the most out of your day? You can, and you should! And there's no greater day to start than today; right now! YOUR MORNING RITUAL MATTERS!

Twelve weeks of FOCUSED attention and alignment on your part can help move your life forward by up to five years. 

Think about that. 

A commitment of 12-weeks in which you consistently self-reflect and focus on intentional living, goals that align with your higher purpose, gratitude, and joyful experiences has the power to advance your life by years. 



IF YOU ARE CONSISTENT, YOU WILL ACHIEVE IT
IF YOU ARE PERSISTENT, YOU WILL KEEP IT

OVERCOMING COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS THROUGH YOUR EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS: Thinking Your Way to Better Living

By

Your brain is constantly processing information,  and does so with lightning speed.  It quickly decides what stimuli to attend to and what to ignore.  Emotions play a large role in the brain's filtering process.  How the information is processed will determine the degree to which you  feel focused, serene, calm, anxious, stressed, and/or discombobulated. Your executive functions are key to critical reasoning and problem solving.  Critical reasoning and problem solving are negatively correlated with  cognitive distortions.    As one goes up, the other goes down.  Everybody cognitively distorts! You can't always think clearly, logically and productively. But, you can help notice when thinking goes awry. You can learn to mindfully halt a runaway thought process that is taking  you down a dark and deep rabbit hole.  You can learn to leverage your executive functions and mitigate  cognitive distortions.  Th...

ENHANCING EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING through the Integration of Yoga & Mindfulness

    ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES Too many of us are living lives that are unsustainable, with rates of chronic illness, anxiety and  burnout  escalating at exponential rates.   We are spending less time outdoors, tapping into  nature's rhythm  and bountiful health offerings,  and more time indoors, in isolation, and in front of screens. Few are reporting feeling energized, focused, and a general sense of well-being.  Dysregulated, distracted, and disconnected, we have allowed ourselves to fall into habits that reinforce this unhealthy and heavily tech-driven lifestyle, that has led to executive function fatigue. These are  neither natural nor desirable states of being and will eventually lead to dis-ease within our bodies, affecting health and energy levels that are needed for connection, harmony, focus , imagination , purpose and direction. Rather than feeling a sense of forward progression, many are living lives analogo...

YOGA & YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM: Retreat to Re-Regulate

QUIET YOUR MIND   ENERGIZE YOUR BODY   RECLAIM YOUR SENSE OF PEACE  Recently, I heard the following quote and it both resonated with and deepened my understanding of how we end up asking ourselves:  How did I get here?     From Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises, one character asks the other:  "How did you go bankrupt?" The response:  "Two ways;   gradually and then  suddenly."  How did I end up here? This self-reflection question is usually associated with a negative outcome. We do not tend to be curious about how we achieved a high level of success because built into the success model is the incremental stages of disciplined and focused work that led one from point A to point B. Success follows a formula and there is a conscientious effort that advances life in an onward and upward fashion. However, when life spirals downward, it usually follows this formula —> gradually and then  suddenly.  This traje...
