5 Simple Steps to Manifest Your Dreams

New Year Wellness Retreat!

I went on a vacation and when I came back, I got a download on what my retreat would be like. I want to share my 5 steps to manifesting my dream with you.

1. Ask what is really important to you and focus on that

2. Believe that you are capable to achieving your goal. You deserve the best and you are worthy

3. Act as if you know what you're doing despite your doubts and fears. Take small steps towards realizing your dream each day

4. Be grateful. Count your blessings.

5. Receive. When opportunity knocks, open the door and step through

I got a sponsor for my retreat last night using these steps and want to thank Calm by Wellness for their support and to celebrate my 52nd birthday with a giveaway. The first person who leaves comment in my blog will win a free ticket to my New Year Wellness Retreat!

My music playlist will be

1. One Love

2. Go Your Own Way

3. Just Breathe 

4. What a Wonderful World 

5.  Imagine 

6. The Greatest Love of All 

7. A Million Dreams

8. Unconditionally

9. Let It Be 

10. This Is Me

Imagine if One Love Fest & Disclosure Fest & World Kindness Day come together for a day of unity and healing. Of love and giving. Of meditation and peace. Of dancing and music. I am excited about the New Year Virtual Wellness Retreat. I want you to join me and let's get together and feel all right! 

Globally, we have dismissed the energy of the feminine for thousands of years while putting the masculine on a pedestal. This dynamic partnership of energies has been out of balance for too long and that is why we are experiencing the very real and scary challenges we face as societies today. I believe the medicine of the Feminine is needed to restore balance to our world.  This means, that at this time in history all awakening women are needed. All of us who have heard the call within our hearts are doing our work to heal from the past and move forward to a brighter future need to come together as a force for good right now.

The more stressful things get on the outside, the more important it is to cultivate peace. The more mean the world becomes, the more important compassion is. If you’re looking for some calm in the midst of the storm, and want to be a source of kindness in this world, join me. Let's envision a kinder, more loving world.

I interviewed Stephanie Lueras owner of Heart and Sole Fitness and she shared 5 steps to achieve true wellness with me. 

1. Drink more water

2. Cook at home. It's hard to stay healthy when you eat out a lot.

3. Eat more balanced meals

4. For those who are first starting, just walk to the end of your street and back every day. Then around the block

5. Build up to a 5k, 10k, half or full marathon or even triathlons like Stephanie

By focusing on the good, the universe answered me with amazing things. I met Gayle during my walk in Santa Monica and I was immediately drawn to her because of her positive energy. She was teaching an outdoor class and I so wanted to join but they were just finishing. I connected with her through Instagram and messaged her about my goal to spread goodness. She immediately responded and we scheduled time to talk about our passion and mission. Gayle is a spiritual fitness instructor and a Reiki practitioner. She says that during and after class, she channels a higher dimensional energy to help students ground back into their bodies. Gayle also tells them that we have so much to be grateful for. "Focus on what we have not what we don't have" she shares that "we are perfect, abundant beings" and I agree. We are spiritual beings trapped in a human experience. I told her about my struggle with poor body image and how being called "fat" when I was young left scars in me. Gayle says that "your body and your life is somebody else's dream body and life. No matter what happens, we are not going to give away our power. You are stronger than you know. She sees herself and her students as spiritual athletes. Gayle has created a platform to lift people up and I'm joining her at ElevatewithGayle.com Let's take back our power to be a positive force for good!

Gratitude = Happiness

Yoga helps me focus on the present moment and let go of what does not serve me. I just cleaned out my closet this morning and realized that I have too many clothes. So I am donating some of them to charity. I've made a pact with myself not to buy any more new clothes this year. Instead of looking for happiness outside, I'm tuning into my inner truth and wisdom. Yoga teaches acceptance and non-judgement. It's a tool that helps me boost energy, release stress and be healthy inside-out. Yoga allows space for me to tune in and get in touch with the divine within me. It makes me grateful for my body and my health. Even when I feel "blah", I go to yoga to help me shift my mood. I was a "fat girl" and felt ashamed of my body. Yoga changed my life and healed my relationship with my body. I am passionate about the health benefits of yoga. That is why I am writing "Anti-aging Secrets of Yoga". 

I have been dreaming about a trip to Arizona and the Grand Canyon. COVID has postponed my plans but I am not letting fear stop me from doing what I love. I finally booked plane tickets and will be taking a week off to connect with the natural beauty of Phoenix, Sedona and Flagstaff. I am excited and a bit nervous as it will be my first time flying since COVID. I am focusing on the good news that though there are more cases, the death rates have declined.

I just saw this Gratitude Challenge on Instagram and want to share this with you.
