I speak from experience because if I waited I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’m on a WholelisticFit journey and it’s not easy. Excuses and doubt happen but it shouldn’t become a defining factor.
Can you imagine a life without pain, sickness or disease?
What would it take to make that happen?
Stop trying to heal the world. Start healing yourself and the world will take notice. Start with YOU. Because if you’re like me, we’ve seen the headlines and feel the hurt. Our first reaction is sorrow and maybe hopelessness. Sometimes we stop moving all together because we’re chained by sadness. But that’s when you use your WHY to refocus and stay in motion.
Energize your fit schedule with an emotional connection to wellness. Develop a deep and rooted WHY into every squat, plank and burpee.
Make the extra effort, do what the average person wouldn’t. Stay consistent, persevere and believe in the process.
Speaking of process, I was talking to my sister, Make Mahalo, about our goals. She used the term, “the G-d process!” Which I understand as going through challenges KNOWING that there’s a lesson in the midst. The willingness to have faith and keep moving forward.
Will the life lessons ever stop? Probably not. The G-d process seems to be ingrained into the universe.
Keep moving forward!
So I’m doing another fitness concert, and it’s been awhile. The last one was in the Spring and it feels like decades. I can’t wait to sweat along side of some fabulous women and a few good men. The best part is blasting the music 🎶 and moving to the rhythm.
Also if you’re interested my blog WholelisticFit.com has a new article called, “WHY & WILLpower, which do you need first?” It list the 5-Steps-To-A-Strong-Why and includes some pinable quotes. Keep in mind that you have to be a MERMAID to read it, and membership is free. Click here to become a Mermaid.
I’m closing with a few vision boards I created and posted on Instagram! PEACE Be the Journey, Ho’omālamalama
Living fit is only part of the journey, having a holistic life brings every facet of your BEing into balance. And balance isn’t perfection it’s grounding. Which leads me to the title, “How STRONG is your WHY?”
This journey called life is meant to challenge your WHY, but if you lack foundation & balance then your WHY will crumble under the weight of L-I-F-E. So let’s talk about your why as in why live healthy, holistic & happy.
Do you deserve healthy, holistic & a happy existence? None of us deserve or are entitled to it but we can earn it. I once heard a wise elder say,
You were given the gift of life, now you have to earn your living.
In other words we don’t wake up winding a dial that’s attached to our heart. The heart has its own intelligence, that’s the gift of life. Yet how we take care of our hearts is an example of us earning a living.
Your why is the emotional connection between appreciating the gift and earning it. It’s your anchor ⚓️ into everything you do. This is the secret sauce to having a powerful why, the type that moves mountains. [That’s why I’ve created the MERMAID e-news to stay connected.]
I started this blog to encourage my sister through stage-4 cancer and one of the harshest chemo treatments, confessed by the nurses, they’ve ever heard of. You can read my why here but to summarize we did a complete 180• and changed everything.
Somewhere in the mix they wanted to remove her uterus because that’s where the cancer was. It started as a molar pregnancy that spread into bladder and lungs. However after a combination of modern, ancient & holistic therapies she was deemed cancer free by her doctor. While looking at her X-ray he & the nurse said it was one of the most beautiful uterus they’ve ever seen.
Q: What was her why?
A: That’s simple her children.
Q: But I’ve heard that before. So what made her why so different?
A: The energy she put behind it!
Q: Did she do it alone?
A: No, she incorporated a team & consciously surrounded herself with love.
Q: Is it safe to assume that her why needed help?
A: Yes, all of us will face moments when our why requires a little boost. That’s when we enlist the energy of others to carry us through. This can be emotional support, teachings or reading something to encourage us.
I’m excited to announce that I will be going full-time into my WholelisticFit coaching helping other women regain the power of their why and thrive.
Which brings me to another announcement: My sister just gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Both a miracle and a confirmation of our Spiritual foundation.
I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken…
My husband adoring a bundle of grace, mercy & unconditional love. [ALOHA] I’m sharing this, very private, moment with you to encourage YOU, yes YOU. Miracles do happen! You have all the resources, tools and knowledge at your fingertips. All you have to do is put energy behind your why.
I took a snapshot of the scenery outside of the birth center & tons of baby pictures. But the purpose of this blog isn’t to show off my nephew, it’s to testify to the power of WHY.
There are steps to connect to your why.
I’ve grown to understand and appreciate the process of reconnection. And I was also grateful that my sister allowed me to coach her even in the delivery room.
There in the delivery room both her life and babies life faced hurdles. My sister’s body had grown tired and weak. The midwife’s assistant was concerned because her water broke, baby was in the birth canal but her push wasn’t strong enough. Meanwhile a host of family members stood in prayer.
We all go through moments of doubt, which is why a coach is so important.
And then I spoke, “You can and will do this because your Savior has brought you this far and HE can do anything but fail. Stop fidgeting and use the contraction to push baby out! Short sips of air into your nose then exhale him out.”
See him in your arms and send your energy there.
Sometimes we have to refocus our why.
Partner with a coach that can see your potential, remind and hold you accountable. It’s their job to ignore the excuses and condition your mind for excellence.
This is the type of WholisticFit coach I’ve become. Through trials and personal tribulations becoming a student to the teachings of L-I-F-E. My goal is to connect women to their power of why which is MANA WAHINE. Women of power. This power doesn’t stand alone, it’s a culmination of experiences. The life lessons taught overtime from one generation to another.
Seasons of change… for the better.
I’ve enjoyed blogging here and I feel that it has become a testimony to the circle-of-life. [Enter the Lion King theme.]
Through this blog I’ve shared, stirred the mind & supported a place of growth. And now it’s time to open my arms to the future of sister-hood. Create a virtual space of excellence. I hope you will transition with me and become a MERMAID to receive my e-news. Also I’ll be posting on my blog WholelisticFitregularly and creating content for women who pave the way. I look forward to seeing you there.
PS: As a sweet parting gift here’s a 60min course I created called BALANCED BEAUTY. Use is in good health and share the link with others. PEACE Be the Journey.
Connect yourself to the end result. What will it feel like? How will you celebrate your accomplishments? When you attach yourself to the emotion behind the work you will build intrinsic motivation. There’s nothing more powerful. Throughout the BEAUTIFUL MIND challenge you will find hints of deep seeded prompts to get your mind into a healthy place. To connect you to your WHY and reaffirm your intuition. Basically to believe in yourself. Self doubt has zero value so it’s time for you to collect coins of positive thoughts.
Let’s say that every positive thought is a gold coin and each gut-feeling (intuition) you follow is another gold coin. Yet negative thoughts or excuses will cost you a coin each. How much do you have in your vault for today? Think about it, BEAUTIFUL MINDS deposit daily and are very careful to guard their treasure because they know it’s possible to squander or have coins stolen. That’s why it’s so important to connect to the intrinsic value of your WHY.
Foodie Fit: one of my favorite culinary shows.
Dance Fit: guarantee to boost your cardio.
Note: we’re more then half way through this 30 Day challenge so stay connected and share your ahamoments, you’d be surprised how it can help another. Like, share & subscribe. PEACE Be the Journey.
