Practice Self-Love

Reconnect this Valentines... with YOURSELF!


Make 2016 the year of self-love. Its time to focus on you.. and what better way then starting Valentines? valentines

Throughout the next few weeks I will be carving time for self-love. How about joining me on this loving journey !

We all lead busy lives and may have families or significant others we take care of, making time for ourselves an afterthought. Let’s resolve to stop that now and start reconnecting with ourselves daily.
We are usually so concerned with finding ways to fill every single moment of the day socializing with people, through social media or in person. Spending some time alone is needed to recharge our mental batteries and regroup.

Over the next 4 weeks i will show you ways to incorporate self love into your life.  Feel free to buy yourselves flowers, go to the movies or buy those lush pair of pumps that you’ve been eyeing. That’s in the self-love category! I am sure of it.. I WROTE IT! :)

Block, Unfollow, Delete & Disconnect! 

  • Unfollow all of the Instagram accounts and Facebook friends that don’t inspire you or elicit positivity.

  • Block your ex's or people that consume your precious time. How many times a day are you spending unproductive minutes searching through their accounts to see what they are doing? MOVE ON!

  • Unsubscribe to all of the random e-newsletters that show up in your inbox.

  • Start thinking about limiting the time you are giving to others and reinvest it in yourself.

  • Turn your phone OFF after a certain time frame.

  • DO NOT put your phone in the bedroom, charge it somewhere else so you aren't drawn to checking social media.

  • Set time aside to finish that book or read a magazine

  • Pick up an adult colouring book and become relaxed while getting your inner child outbook

    1) hot bath with epsom salts to relax muscles, baking soda to restore body's pH level, lavender Essential Oil drops for calming smell. Bring the radio in & play meditation or Chakra clearing music

    2) sit in the living room with only candles lit admiring the flames snuggling one of my cats

What is Love? What is not?

I LOVE YOU... Love is a major purpose for living. The connection with love is inherent in all that we do, and without it, we cannot survive as a species. But what is love? How do we know when we are in Love? On this Valentines Day I want you to reflect on your loving relationships. Over the years I have come to understand what love is. How you ask? By figuring out what LOVE ISN'T! Sometimes.. Love is like a trainer... you may get your perfect match right away; or you have to trial other ones. Much like love... you may have to date a few bad ones to find the right one... and you know, they may have been there all along and you just didn't open your eyes to realize! LOVE IS NOT : Manipulation . How many times have you heard: "If you loved me, then you would..." If you love someone, you do it because you want to, instead of someone telling you to. Compromising Who You Are : Love is not apparent if someone asks you to do or say something that isn't in your nature. Som...

SUCCESS Beyond the Stage: Nikki McKnight

Image
You could say that it all started with a trip to Disney World in Florida a few years ago. The photos from that vacation made me face a very harsh reality: in my pursuit of career excellence I had neglected to take care of myself. I was overweight, tired, stressed, and woke every day with a sense of dread.  After entering and winning an online transformation challenge I decided to take it one step further and try competitive bodybuilding. With the love and support of Jill Bunny and my teammates, I tackled the bikini stage and competed in Toronto. It was a great experience and I was looking forward to doing another show when my body rebelled against me. Although I had challenged myself mentally and physically and felt a sense of triumph, I was still living a stressful and unfulfilling lifestyle. My body shut down, I was injured frequently, and I was constantly tired.   Too stressed out to even workout, my personal trainer introduced me to Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) and for the fir...

Monday Morning Detox Juice

Author: Coach Claudia Scali Monday mornings can be hectic and stressful as your try to get up early, rush out the door and fight your way through traffic to get to work on time.  Not to mention, dropping off the dry cleaning, preparing healthy meals for the week, driving your kids to their various activities and the list goes on! There are so many expectations we set for Mondays that they can be extremely overwhelming! We want to start the day early,  eat healthy , go to the gym, prepare a presentation at work, be super mom, and finish a million different tasks! We want it all but how do we achieve it without  burning ourselves out ? You need to take care of YOU first and foremost .  You are hardly accomplishing any task when you are tired, run down, stressed out and totally fried! To be your best, you need to  give your body the nourishment and fuel that it needs .  A good night’s rest is ideal (but not always possible) as well as staying hydrated, so be sure to get in those 8 glasses...
