Happy Sunday Team! #HERE are a few recaps, announcements, insights and reminders from this previous week, and upcoming weeks! - Weekly Wisdom➡️"Handle Life, Without a Handle" Routines are comforting. They bring about feelings of security and and consistency. For many of us, routines are how we move forward with our purpose. Yet as we continue to go inward, we feel a deeper sense of expansion, evolution, and exploration of the routines we develop. For example, use this analogy of surfing. Eventually we find that perfect wave and ride out, only to realize that the sand awaits us so that we can go back into the water to ride again. The wave itself if not infinite, however the process of surfing is...well until you get hungry for a surf snack (you get the point )😉 https://getmadfit.blog/2024/06/26/shaman-short-stories-surfing-101/. ...Back to Handles... Within my fitness community, I emphasize variance within our physical experience. Many fitness cultures become one-dimensional with exercises, routines and programs. I am not saying this is bad by any means, however because are multi-dimensional by nature, It only makes sense to express ourselves that way. So when we explore exercises using sandbags and medballs, we rely less upon the traditional routine of a handle, and experience a new way of BEing. #GiftForGrowth: Start by taking a step on the stairs without reaching for the handle, even if it feels steep. You then awaken to the truth that you need less handles in your life. YOU are in control❤️ - Wellness Day recap: Shout out to community members for sweating, plunging, and connecting! @Parke Schweiter @Cat Cassidy @Liz Murnane @Jonathan Barr - Weekly Education: Check out the latest episode of the #JustShowUp podcast!

Happy Sunday Friends! Hopefully you are all Committed to healthy Eagles pregame activities !😅😜 I am looking forward to our zoom call on Wednesday, January 22nd at 6:30pm. I will post a check in this week to confirm who will be attending. This week, our goal is to be aware of creating balance within our lives ⚖️ I use the phrase "Know Your Gears", typically in reference to workouts and breathing patterns. In the physical performance world, science tells us of a "flow state" that creates optimal performance. It is the balance point within the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Being over-wired potentially leads to over reactive outputs, while being under-stimulated leads to failure to pursue. Rhythm is the center point of being both grounded, and alert. "Perfectly balanced, as everything should be": Thanos...🤔 *Note: This doesn't necessarily mean the being on the 1 or 5 scale of your gears is "bad". It all depends on your intent! (see photo) This phrase does not have to pertain to the physical. Energy within the ether (space) is always trying to come to balance. Consciousness is always trying to become aware of the center point (the heart), which is love, compassion, oneness, and non-judgement. Before learning how to navigate your gears, you must first be aware. Start taking inner notes. This morning even after movement, meditation, plunging, hanging with Jack, drinking a green smoothies/Shaman's brew...I still felt off balance (probably need some sleep!). Sometimes the simple things like taking a mindfulness walk, focusing on the breath, and taking in some sunlight/nature does the trick! When do you feel like you get into flow state?!

Happy Sunday Team! Our first Group Zoom Meeting will be Wednesday, January 22nd, from 6:30pm-7:30pm. In addition, I will have open office hours Sunday, January 26th, from 8:30am-9:30am. You can check our community Calendar for all meetings/events! 1/6 Weekly Assignment: The 5 P's The Process of Personal Evolution is a never ending cycle of Pride, Patience, Pursuit, Performance, and Peaking. Integration is an inward process of awareness towards you need to become you best self! -Pride: Honoring your uniqueness. Your ability to create self love/inner awareness is the beginning of your manifestations. Who are you? Who are you meant to BE in this human experience? What serves your Soul? Do you follow your own path, or do you get caught up in others paths that slows your progress? Do you have difficulty understanding your goals? -Patience: Reflection before action. Having inward conversations towards service to self, others, and all life. Does impulsiveness create blockages? Do you struggle with listening to your intuition? Or do you contemplate to long and never take action? -Pursue: Making Fun Possible. Inward motivation that allows you to take action, and gain experience/feedback. Do you sit with fear and let It over consume your ability for growth? Are you limited through beliefs/perspectives? Or do you over pursue that creates an imbalance of service? -Perform: Consistency is KEY. The act of performing is the repetition of the experience in the present moment. How do you create accountability/motivation to continue to gain feedback? Do you have trouble being H.E.R.E and N:OW? Do you over-perform without a clear intention for peaking? -Peak: Experiencing Change and Growth. With practice, you achieve progress. The light begins to show, and excitement grows! How do you apply your evolved state of BEing? Do you ride the high of achievement, leading to complacency and comfortability? Does peaking limit your curiosity to re-develop awareness. For this week, analyze the 5 P's towards your wholeness. Where do you have difficulty? Where do you succeed?
