“Each morning we are born again. What we do today matters is what matters the most” – Buddha
Let us be grateful
Gratitude is acknowledging what we are, where we are and the gifts we give and receive from the universe.
Before the heart opens, we must surrender to our current situation, whatever it may be. We must accept that things are exactly the way they are meant to be right now. Everything is perfect, the universe is the greatest teacher and all of our experiences are simply lessons of love, from love itself.
Let us acknowledge what we are, let us see that we are all beings of light and love. We are spiritual beings having a wordly experience, not wordly beings having a spiritual experience. All that exists is sat-cit-ananda, eternal existence, consciousness and bliss. This is our true nature, this is the fragrance of the lotus in the heart. We are not the body, we are not the emotions, we are not the endless thoughts and worries. We are the neutral observer who watches the divine play. We live in the heart, centred, balanced and blissful.
Let us focus on our true nature as a single point of light in the centre of your heart, in the eye of the storm, the calm centre around which all experiences revolve. You can take refuge in this heart at any time, you can come back and sit in your lotus in the heart. It is a safe space where you can be who you truly are.

My #1 Wellness Practice —
I have learned throughout my health and wellness practice that I truly needed to shift my mindset! The “Golden Rule”. “Treat others how you want to be treated.” You really need to take care of you before you can take care of others!
Are you truly doing it for you too?
That is a big question to ask yourself that really matters! Know your “why(s)”. When you tune into doing as an act of self love you are tapping into your desires and passions. That you deserve this and remove that doubt, self-limiting beliefs, guilt, etc. You make that commitment to yourself and make yourself accountable too!
You truly have the ability to achieve your “why(s)”! When you are able to relax your whole being you help yourself connect to your whole being better. You communicate to fully connect and engage. That level of communication and that deep connection you have with yourself helps you get back to the basics in what you need and achieving your whys!
That relaxed state also helps you slow down and maybe even get some good rest too! When relaxed you are more mindful and present. You take yourself out of stress as well as survival mode. Just taking time to pause and just breathe and clear the mind is a big assist to your whole well being!
I am finally out of that mindset that I need to spend hours getting my fitness on! Long as well as extreme workouts were not sustainable for me. I burnt out and had minor repetitive injuries that were becoming chronic. Start small and little by little it will add up!
I have been giving myself more grace, patience and compassion lately! For instance there are times I want to get up and get a workout in on the weekends. Then there are times where I want to sleep in, take my time and get in a later workout. Balance matters!
Another big mind blower is TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE! Your wellness practice needs to motivate and drive you. Not bore you and become a chore. Think outside the box and try new things

5 tips for self-care. — Hello you.
mmmnnnnnnnn self – care. it’s one of those words / phrases that’s around a lot more often than it used to be, isn’t it? we hear it from our yoga teachers, our breakfast cereal boxes, our favourite clothing brands, our milk (or other alternative) cartons, our bosses, maybe even the postman + now, especially right now, from the government….
…..but what does the term self-care mean to you? what do those two words really say to you + your lifestyle?
self-care + I have had a rocky road. in the past we’ve come together beautifully + we’ve parted disastrously. it’s been ups + downs. however i can say with confidence that now, for the last few years + experiences, we’ve crafted a committed, strong + sustainable bond together. one that involves learning + adapting as we go. it means checking in with myself daily to see how I feel + where I’m at that day. to notice + listen with love + care.
i’ve put together 5 reliable tips to share with you…..
yours might look different + that’s good. it’s about trying things out, seeing what feels good + caring enough to stick with it.
1.
drink water.
first thing in the morning, last thing at night + throughout the day. i drink mostly cups of half hot, half cold water, this way our bodies organs are able to use it quicker.
2.
breathe deeply.
I start my day with breathing exercises that help me breathe deeper.
Here’s one you can try right away: take a big breath in through your nose, fill up the lungs as much as you can right down till you feel your stomach expand, then sigh it out long through the mouth. do this three times.
3.
move daily.
this can vary + it’s good to listen to what feels nicest that day. it could be a gentle walk, some home yoga, easy stretching, a cardio work out or a run outside. maybe a dance to a fave song?mixing it up really helps to be excited about it

Today’s Daily Buddha
If you understand everything, you must be misinformed.
Japanese Proverb
Today’s Daily Buddha
“We are what we think. All that we are arises…”
Today’s Daily Buddha
“The root of suffering is attachment.” Buddha
This is a saying from the Pali canon, upadhi dukkhassa mūlanti, which means “Attachment is the root of suffering.” So this is a genuine canonical quote.
You’ll find it in this sutta, but translated by Thanissaro as “Acquisition is the root of stress.” His translations are rather idiosyncratic.
In this translation of the same sutta it’s “acquisition is the root of suffering.”
Bhikkhu Bodhi’s translation (not available online, but in The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, page 868) has “attachment is the root of suffering,” although he sometimes has “acquisition” in place of “attachment,” in various repetitions of the phrase.
Today’s Daily Buddha
“There’s no use looking back at yesterday. Every morning when the sun rises, I am a changed person. Don’t let yesterday steal today’s joy.. Every time the sun rises, it’s a new opportunity to make your life the best of your life. Enjoy every moment.” Namaste enjoy your day” Buddha
