Tag #TheAlchemizedLife to show me how you create magic in each and every day!

I had a really powerful conversation with an upcoming podcast guest yesterday about the notion of happiness and at one point I asked, “Do you think we can be truly happy if we haven’t found our purpose?” I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this. I think it’s easy to be distracted by material things that sell “happy,” but I know from my own experience that those things don’t actually make you happy. New clothes doesn’t mean you are happy. A nice bottle of tequila at the club doesn’t mean you are happy. Owning the latest iPhone doesn’t mean you are happy. Don’t get me wrong - you can BE happy and desire those things, but you’re not going to find your happiness in any of that. True happiness comes from giving your life a purpose. You don’t have to go out and save the world, but you do need something to wake up and jump out of bed for. I think we are asleep until we find that thing that gives our life purpose and I believe it is our birthright to WAKE UP. That’s why I do this work - so we can all wake up. So we can all experience the magic. ✨ #TheAlchemizedLife

Sometimes (ok, 99% of the time) I crave expansion and I want it now. I’ve had to practice patience over the past few weeks, even though sometimes I feel like I’m crawling out of my skin with ideas, excitement and inspiration. I’ve had to reel myself back to practice even more gratitude (thank you @onroute44 for the reminder) and to be incredibly present with every moment. I have to remind myself that I am living the life that I am most passionate about and that there is no rush with life long passions. I always want to get to the next level and I’m recognizing now that exactly where I am at is perfect. I think it’s a good reminder for us all, why rush when you’ve found something you want to dedicate your whole life to? Enjoy the moments, the people, and the sweet synchronicities because the more we enjoy it now, the more joy we will create. #TheAlchemizedLife
Day 5 • Elevate Your 2019 with Yoga Challenge - LAST DAY! 😭 Today’s theme is ELEVATION and the pose is Lotus Pose. Your mantra for the day is: I am one with the divine. I honor the divine within and around me. Can you recall the feeling of finishing a challenging yoga class and ending in savasana? It is an energy of completion - you've learned new lessons, acquired new skills and have a new relationship to the power of your body, breath and mind. and...you feel GOOD. When we mindfully accomplish our goals with intention, completion often looks like elevating and connecting with our higher selves. Deepening our connection to divine. Deepening our trust. Deepening our strength. There is always some nugget of wisdom to receive from your journey. No matter how dark or light. I hope you’ve all found an element of this challenge to offer you wisdom + new understanding of the relationship of yogic wisdom to the other areas of life. Use this practice to create a ripple effect and Elevate Your 2019! #TheAlchemizedLife
DAY 4 • Elevate Your 2019 with Yoga Challenge🧘🏼‍♀️ Today’s theme is PERSEVERANCE. Your mantra for the day is: I am worthy of pursuing my passion and purpose! Let’s be real - there’s always that dip when it comes to pursuing the things we love - I like to think of it as the space we create after a super hard flow when you sigh in relief that the teacher queued child’s pose - ya know what I mean? BUT you know in your yoga class that you aren’t done yet - and you should approach your goals in the same way. Instead of giving up when things get challenging or plateau - slow down, regroup and check in with yourself. Return to the feeling you had when you first began. Excitement. Eagerness. Optimism. We will always face challenges in life, do you want to respond by backing down or do you want to rise to the occasion and REMEMBER how strong you really are. How talented you really are. Sometimes all it takes is a few deep breaths as a reminder to keep going. #TheAlchemizedLife
