			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The first thing I think of when it comes to the New Year, is new years resolutions. Do you? I have set them myself for years, and being a personal trainer, yoga teacher and life coach, I have worked with thousands who have done the same.  The health clubs fill up, people start eating better and life is exciting and happy. But then March rolls around, spring breaks hit and most people fall flat on their faces when it comes to keeping up the energy they started out with in the NEW YEAR!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Why is this you may ask? Unrealistic goals! Not setting an intention behind WHY they want to make these changes, and not having the support and, or proper education on how to make lifelong lasting lifestyles shifts.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>This is where a coach, or someone who has walked the talk comes in. There are many ways to make changes, yet to actually have these stick for the long haul is another story. What&#8217;s the answer? There are many, and I am happy to share a few with you here now!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Intention- Why are you making changes? What are the results you look to achieve as a result of these goals?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Awareness- It all starts with being mindful. Slowing down and paying attention to what you are doing in this given moment.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The Switchover- If you are letting go of a negative habit, you need to have a positive one to takes its place</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Baby Steps- Start off slow, make small changes that you can realistically handle and gradually add more.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>My intention last year was &#8220;Focus&#8221; and keeping that in mind in all I do, brought some amazing results, this year it is &#8220;Clarity&#8221;. There are so many options and choices out there these days, and I am choosing to be clear on how I am spending my time and energy and resources.  What is your intention this year? I would love to hear it!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>We are always changing, and fortunately or unfortunately it&#8217;s for the better or worse, we don&#8217;t stay the same. Why not let 2010 be the year of transformation? Are you ready? Will you invest the time and money in yourself that it takes to live a happier and healthier life? What does success look like to you? Are you ready?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Check out my resources page for tools and practices that will help you do just that.  Or better yet, take me up on a FREE call to find out how you can start Radically Transforming your life.  Or better yet, do the call and attend a workshop I am  offering. Regardless of where you live, you can join me on the phone or in person, and I can guarantee you that you will be happier.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>If you think you can do a thing or think you can&#8217;t do a thing, you&#8217;re right.- Henry Ford</strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The second Chakra is the goddess chakra, Swadistana, located just above the root. The element here is WATER.  As beings, we arrive in the world, in a fluid environment, swimming around, full of potential and freedom. As creative beings at heart, we are here on this earth to express ourselves.</p>
<p>Through the &#8220;Fun and Healthy Lifestyles&#8221; practices we explore the <strong>MIND</strong> to discover our unique expression of our purpose through journaling and other artistic pursuits with our <strong>BODY</strong>, and <strong>SPIRITUALLY </strong>we share our gratitude for all there is.</p>
<p><strong>Journaling</strong></p>
<p>Journaling is a creative tool that allows us to connect to mind with our thoughts, to our bodies with our hands, and to our spirits, that inner dwelling that is seeking our purpose or passion in this life.  By simply writing things down, we communicate our needs, our wants, and our feelings. We use writing as a practical tool to communicate with others in our personal and business lives. Here, we use it to set goals, to write out our innermost feelings, and to heal.</p>
<p>Free writing is the practice of writing for a commitment of time or pages, keeping the hand continuously moving, or in today&#8217;s day and age, continuously typing, and flowing with the stream of thoughts &#8211; whatever is coming and going from the top of the head, without letting the hand(s) stop.  If you find that you get stuck in this practice, you simply write, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what to say,&#8221; and something will arise.  (Or &#8211; When we feel &#8220;stuck&#8221; in this practice, we simply write, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what to say,&#8221; until something arises.)</p>
<p>In Julia Cameron&#8217;s book, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Artist Way,</span> she calls these writings, the morning pages.  &#8220;Put simply, the morning pages are three pages of longhand writing, strictly stream-of-consciousness: &#8216;Oh god, another morning. I have NOTHING to say. I need to wash the curtains.  Did I get my laundry yesterday?  Blah, blah, blah&#8230;.&#8217;  They might also, more ingloriously, be called <em>brain drain, </em>since that is one of their main functions.&#8221;  The morning pages are simply a way to release all the ongoing thoughts that run through our minds like crazy.   They are an outlet for us to open up to the creativity that is inside, but stuck behind the oodles and oodles of thoughts.</p>
<p>We experience roughly 60,000 thoughts per minute. Amazing!  While, many of these thoughts are repetitive, I have also read that we have to hear something 100 times before we really get it, understand it, and embody it.  I am not a scientist, but I have spent many ( or ten? but not 37) years actively studying my own mind and have found writing to be a deep practice of connection to my whole being.  The act of getting the thoughts and words out and down on paper, clears a space for discovering new, creative and divine thoughts to fill our minds and our lives.</p>
<p><strong>Goals and Dreams</strong></p>
<p>Why is it that we may have a dream or goal, but, can&#8217;t get ourselves to take action, or even initiate the effort toward making it happen?  We want something so badly; yet, we aren&#8217;t willing to go through the process of bringing it to life. Often times we realize we have been in love with the idea of the impact it will have on others, the places it may take us, and the person that we will be when it is all done; yet we struggle on a daily basis, to sit down and create a plan of action.  We want the results without doing the work, yet without action, goals remains  dreams.</p>
<p><strong>Gratitude</strong></p>
<p>Be thankful for what you have; you&#8217;ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don&#8217;t have, you will never, ever have enough.&#8211;Oprah Winfrey</p>
<p>Being grateful is being full of great!  It&#8217;s appreciating the benefits you are receiving from a situation or object, the act of expressing gratitude.</p>
<p>Gratitude is an attitude of thankfulness. When we have gratitude we go beyond the striving and clinging and hoping and wishing and wanting, we find ourselves in the present moment content with what we have. We embody the ability to appreciate all the goodness that is currently surrounding us. It is a space and of serenity, one of knowing that we are provided for and a place in which we can rest and feel a greater connection to all there is.</p>
<p>Gratitude can be perceived as an emotion of experiencing and realizing value of what one is receiving or already has within ones life. Ones who practice gratitude daily experience higher levels of health and well being. Practicing gratitude brings more happiness, less stress, less depression, and more satisfaction in your life. The practices of gratitude will allow you to handle life transactions better as well as creating a positive way in which to deal with obstacles that may come up in life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes we need a pick me up, but want to find one that is going to help us stay true to ourselves.. </p>
<p>Write a love letter to your self!  Here is an example of one I recently wrote.  Write it to yourself as if someone else is writing it to you&#8230;</p>
<p>Casey, this love letter to you this evening is to honor your strength and courage on the path of health and wellness in mind, body and spirit, we are so proud of you, for honoring yourself by resting and breathing into the fear and discomfort.  For listening to your intuitive self and trusting in us and our oneness.  The patience and perseverance you have shown is consistent with the bravery you have had over the years and is continually vibrating at a higher state of being, bringing you a deeper sense of peace and love for yourself and for all others in your life.  We are so proud of you and acknowledge and honor your faith and courage, your strength and wisdom and your ability to seek the abundance in all situations and circumstances.  You truly are a gift to the world and are blessed to be able to be present for the loved ones in your life.  Your circle sisters love and support you as you do them and the ever turning of the circle will continue as you are all authenticate and powerful and wise women who attract like women to join you.  Be patient as all good things come to those who wait and as you know the time will come when things are lined up as they should be.</p>
<p>Blessings and love to yours and you, and may you rest each moment in the peace that resides inside of you.</p>
<p>With love your guides&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diana has been a yoga student and devoted friend of mine over the last five years.  She reminded me that when she first met me, I was pregnant and teaching yoga. She though, wow, if she can do this pregnant, I can do yoga! Listen in to hear more of how yoga lead her to a deeper sense of connection with her life and how she uses the other practices of radical transformation, to do just that. </p>
