When Did You Stop?

April 11, 2019April 12, 2019 Beyond Possibilities

When did you stop dreaming?

When did you stop exploring?

When did you stop dancing?

When did you stop believing?

When did you stop…….. whatever that you are no longer doing?

Today, these thoughts hit me hard. Babies and little children don’t care what others think. Everything is amazing, possible, and exciting. They believe, they trust, they explore, they experiment, and they keep trying. They are not worried about someone watching them, judging them, or something happening. They fall, they get back up!

Then the following scripture popped in my head Matthew 18:3(KJV) And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Emphasis added.)

As I spoke with a friend yesterday, we talked about her vision for something AMAZING!!! Like changing lives amazing, but then came all of the reasons, excuses, fears, doubts, and on and on. I know you know what I am talking about.

So, again I ask:

When did you stop dreaming?

When did you stop exploring?

When did you stop dancing?

When did you stop believing?

When did you stop _______________? (You fill in the blank.)

The truth is it doesn’t matter when you stopped, but understanding why does matter. Now I don’t mean the why as in the story behind it, but why as in why you made the decision to stop.

Well, let me explain it this way, as children there are experiences that happen and your sub-conscience mind makes a decision, then it creates a belief. In other words your subconscious mind is a big memory bank that stores your life experiences, memories and belief as stories. Then it uses those stories keep you “safe”. If you look at it from a different perspective, rather then keeping you safe, it often keeps you stuck. Either you are doing the same things over and over again or you are afraid of getting hurt, being judged, or making a mistake.

When you are aware of the why, you can thank your subconscious mind for doing its job and choose to dream, explore, dance, believe, and create whatever you want.

How you ask? It so simple that Nike used it as their slogan for years; Just do it!

Dream – lay down on the grass, watch the clouds and think about what you want to do, or be. Start writing down what you want for yourself, your family, your life.

Explore – observe the world around you. What do you see, hear, smell, feel? What do you want to understand more?

Dance – turn on your favorite music and just let your body express it’s self. STOP OVERTHINKING IT! Just do it!

If you don’t know how to even start doing it, find someone to mentor you. The Webster Dictionary states that a Mentor is a trusted counselor or guide. Find someone that is doing whatever it is you want to do and ask them to teach you.

Everything is AMAZING, POSSIBLE, and EXCITING! Start believing, trusting, exploring, experimenting, and keep trying. STOP worrying about everyone else and if something will happening. If you fall, get back up!

YOU, yes YOU reading this get to decide how your story is written. You can live based on the story your subconscious created when you didn’t know any better or you can write the story you want to live into and then take a step forward and create it.

Start dreaming now!

Start exploring now!

Start dancing now!

Start whatever else your heart desires now!

Music, Movement, and Mood – Just Dance

February 7, 2019July 10, 2022 Beyond Possibilities

I have always loved to crank up the music when I am in the car by myself. A few weeks ago my husband cranked up the music while we were working around the house. What I noticed was a shift in the mood. We all sang along with the music and moved to the beat was we completed our tasks.

Since then I have been exploring how music and movement can improve my mood. One of the things I discovered is that when I am sitting at my desk working, my energy seems to drain. When I add upbeat music, I feel more energized. Even better if I get up and dance, I can return to my tasks and be more productive.

Our bodies are meant to move

“In less than two generations, physical activity has dropped by 20% in the U.K. and 32% in the U.S. In China, the drop is 45% in less than one generation. Vehicles, machines and technology now do our moving for us. What we do in our leisure time doesn’t come close to making up for what we’ve lost” – designedtomove.org

Movement affects every aspect of our physical and emotional health. It helps regulate on hormones and metabolism, supports circulation & respiration, aids in digestion, immunity and detoxification of the body. Movement that you enjoy improves your mood.

Just Dance

You don’t have trained to dance. Dance is simply moving to the music. That music can be audible or just in your hear. Dancing helps us connect our mind and emotions with our bodies.

“Dance is more than the exploring of different ways to make a shape or learning a series of steps to music; it is a way of moving that uses the body as an instrument of expression and communication. – http://www.camarilloacademy.com/2011/09/why-dance/

The benefits of dancing are innumerable. Here are a few of the reasons I think EVERYONE should dance.

It allows self expression. There is no right or wrong way to do it.
Provides a physical and emotional release.
Improves Strength, Flexibility, and Endurance
Improves your connection to your body which improves self-confidence and self-esteem.
Improves mental functioning
Improves balance and spatial awareness
It’s fun!!!!

Learning to LOVE My Body and Myself

January 15, 2019January 15, 2019 Beyond Possibilities

I never loved my body. I was always finding something wrong with it. I found things wrong with my eyes, my hair, my weight. I was taller then my older sister and I associated that with BIGGER, FATTER, and wrong. I have spent most of my life over the “NORMAL” weight for my height. I grew up seeing actresses and thought they were what you were supposed to look like.

It has taken me years to learn how to love my body. I am still a work in progress and will catch myself negatively talking about my body.

2004 to 2007 I was my heaviest and I only took pictures with my family. I was suffering from postpartum depression. I was scared. I was trying to hide from my x-husband. (I share that on Beyond Abuse Essential Healing) My weight was the way I protected myself and hid.

Between 2005 and 2007 I was on fertility drugs and gained even more weight. I didn’t like how I looked or felt. We decided to stop fertility treatments. I decided to take my life back so I could play with my girls and do the things I love like camping and sports.

Team Strong Enough 2010 — Most of Team Strong Enough After the Half Marathon

In 2007 I started making better choices with my food and working out daily. Then I started running, like really running. I started with 5Ks. In 2008, we were blessed with a son and I continued on my healthy path. Once he was born I got back in to running. I got back to doing 5Ks and then work up to doing a Half marathon. My first was as part of team Strong Enough with the Coleman Family and Friends in April of 2010. I aslo participated in the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay Race. This was definitely the healthiest time in my life.

In April of 2011, I ran my second half marathon and even reached my goal for my finishing time. But I also tore the meniscus in both knees. This lead to a lot of pain and surgery. The knee surgeries made it impossible to ever run again. I never fully recovered physically or emotionally.

The weight packed back on and so did all of the emotional weight from my past.

In 2017, I had enough. I was tired of hurting and not enjoying life. After seeing 3 surgeons I finally found one that would do the knee replacements that I needed. And so my health journey began again with my first replacement done in July of 2018 and my second in September of 2018.

I also took a seminar that reminded me of who I am. It gave me skills to add to the knowledge I have as an Essential Oil Coach. I have taken this knowledge to start Loving my body and myself. I know thank my body daily. I talk to my body. I support my body physically and emotionally with essential oils.

This is where I am at today. Half way between my heaviest and my healthiest. I am grateful for my body and I love it!!!

I am passionate about helping others learn those same techniques. I want teach and mentor as many people as I can to love their bodies and their self. Follow me on Faceboook for upcoming training.

Thoughts Create Reality

October 30, 2018October 30, 2018 Beyond Possibilities

Thoughts are a powerful thing. We can either let our thoughts run on audio pilot or we can conscientiously choose our thoughts.

I have experienced verbal, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse during my life. If I am not careful I get lost in patterns of negative thoughts and despair. One thing leads to another and I forget that I get to choose my thoughts.

During this journey of self discovery I have found there is a cycle I go through. One of Discovery then either Releasing or Excepting that discovery which then leads to Creation. If I am running on audio pilot I go into survival mode and everything seems hard. Sometimes my thoughts spiral out of control and I go deeper and deeper in to despair. My depression and anxiety seem to be overpowering.

This cycle is not easy and at times we will meet resistance and pain. We can even be triggered as we move through the cycle that may cause us to stop practicing and moving through the cycle. Prayer, meditation, essential oils, and therapy assist us through the process. I have discovered that healing is a daily practice, not a destination. We need to love ourselves and be patient with the process. daily-practice

2006 I was introduced to The Secret a film and a book presented by Rhonda Byrne. The Secret shares amazing real life stories of regular people who have changed their lives in profound ways by applying “The Secret” or the laws of the Universe. The secret or law is that whatever we focus on is what shows up in our life. In other words our thoughts become our reality. Mike Dooley said, “Thought’s become things, choose them wisely.”

I have to chose my thoughts and words carefully. I asking myself the following questions without figuring them out:

Who Am I?
What do I want to create?
What do I enjoy doing?
What Am I choosing by my thoughts and actions?

Through this practice thoughts will create the reality. They will change the way we view life and the world. We get to choose these thoughts each and everyday. Each day that we choose to put what we are learning into practice we will just get better at creating our reality with more precision.

We need to remember to take time for ourselves care and be patient as we fine tune the practice these skills. As we choose our thoughts carefully and hold on to the ones that bring us joy they will serve our higher purpose.

I declare I am the possibility of love, light, clarity, and joy. I am abundant, grateful, powerful and healed. I choose to play big, create a life I love, and I hold the space for others to do the same.

Everyone has his or her own journey. We each have our own triggers and interpretations of life. My intent is to add in the healing process not cause anxiety or pain. Our experience may be similar but they are each unique. Even though many people could have been at the same event each person experiences and remembers those events through our own eyes and will recall the event differently. My blogs will be from my perspective of my life. I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. I am not a Doctor, Counselor or Therapist. I believe it is important to work with Doctors, Counselors and Therapist along with Essential Oils, Energy Healing and spirituality to find health, healing and balance.
