Sometimes inspiration evades us 𓂃 Reminder that whatever emotion you’re experiencing, it’s valid. Reminder that life is full of ebbs + flows, so celebrate the highs + honor your rhythms in the lows. Reminder that if you’re feeling overwhelmed, take it one step at a time — and know that you’re not alone. Reminder that if your burden is heavy, rest + support can renew your strength + lighten your load — and so can faith. Reminder that anxiety is a form of mental time travel, so if you’re in that place — pause. Breathe. Allow yourself to be so deeply present that the worries + fears start to fall away. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find inspiration in what was right in front of you all along — the here + now. Because sometimes a change of perspective is all it takes to spark the beginning of something magical. . . 📷: @sweatnetclt . . . . . . . . . . . #intentionalliving #theartofslowliving #cultivatewhatmatters #livemoremagic #cltblogger #CLTcommunity #CLTlifestyle #faithinspired #wellnessjourney #yogajourney #wellnessblogger #myyogalife #yogaoffthemat #holisticlifestyle #mindfulliving #bepresent #holisticliving #mindbodyspirit #mindbodysoul #yogatherapy #yogateacher #charlotteyogacommunity #sheislight #graceupongrace #findyourpurpose #findyourstrength #gracemakers #slowdownandbreathe #empowerandbreathe #balanceandbreathe
Our thought patterns have power ✨ This message came up pretty intensely for me today. Yesterday, I led my Empower + Breathe workshop at @ebb.flow.studio in Charlotte, and it was such a joyous experience for me. Throughout the entire experience, I felt excited, empowered, authentic, and aligned — so thrilled to be teaching my original class concept, bringing it to life in such a beautiful space + guiding such beautiful souls in our practice together. I was fully present, fully aware in my body, and so in tune with my intuition while teaching. And I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude + joy after the event, grateful for the loved ones that came to support me + the willingness of the entire group to move in new ways + step beyond their comfort zone. And I was proud of myself. For pushing myself beyond my comfort zone — for challenging myself to create a unique experience that reflects who I am as a teacher — and for accomplishing exactly what I set out to do. And then slowly, in the several hours that followed, the self-doubt crept in. The “you could’ve done this...” morphed into “you should’ve done this...” which morphed into “you forgot to do this...” and suddenly I felt slightly deflated, doubt overshadowing the joy that had beamed so brightly throughout my being. And this morning while meditating, I caught myself. Hard. I realized the “recovering perfectionist” in me was quite literally raining on my sunshine parade... so I paused. Remembered how I felt directly after my workshop + channeled that feeling, reminding myself what it felt like to be fully immersed in the beauty of the present moment... and the self-doubt started to dissipate. . And I realized THAT is empowerment. Alignment. Presence. And while it will always be a work in progress, I know this: each day, each moment is a new beginning to choose again — what thoughts we prioritize + where we focus our energy. And today, I choose joy. Wishing you all the most beautiful Sunday!
Unleash your creative expression ⚡️ . Exploring a creative outlet – such as art, dance, music, or writing – focuses our attention and awareness on present moment sensation, essentially bringing us back into our bodies to deeply experience the present moment. And when we’re fully present – not fixating on the past or worrying about the future – we create space to connect with our intuition through reflection and introspection. Channeling our creativity allows us to nurture our intuition further by following our instincts in a safe space, cultivating trust when it comes to our insights, perceptions, and feelings. The result? Learning to trust yourself amid the ebbs and flows of life fosters a healthy relationship with your intuition, empowering you to navigate any storm through the direction of your inner compass. . ⇢ For the full article, check out “Latest on the blog” via link in bio ⇢ “How to Find Liberation Beyond Your Comfort Zone” . .

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ✨ So tell me, what do you see in yourself? Do you see the magic that makes you unique, or is your perspective clouded by your perceived imperfections? Remember, true beauty cannot define you ⇢ it can only exist because of who you are. So look again. You might notice + appreciate things like... Your softness is a blessing, not a flaw to be corrected and maintained. Every perceived blemish is a piece of your story, a mark of your strength + resilience. A body that can move, dance, laugh, and smile like yours can is a gift. You create light with every uplifting word + act of encouragement. You radiate joy when you live deeply in the present from a place of contentment. You are more than what the world can see. You are enough. You are L O V E D. Pause. Close your eyes. Put one hand on your chest and one on your belly. Speak to yourself with love - whatever you may need to hear today. Be that for yourself now. Breathe deeply, believing it. When we feel love deep in our beings for ourselves, it becomes a force that can’t be contained. So now, share the love... tag a friend + tell them something you love about them! May you see the beauty in yourself, others, and every moment today ✳︎ . . 📷: the beautiful, inside + out, @chelseaallegra . . . . . . . . . . #intentionalliving #theartofslowliving #cultivatewhatmatters #livemoremagic #cltblogger #CLTcommunity #CLTlifestyle #faithinspired #wellnessjourney #yogajourney #wellnessblogger #myyogalife #yogaoffthemat #holisticlifestyle #mindfulliving #bepresent #holisticliving #mindbodyspirit #mindbodysoul #yogatherapy #yogateacher #charlotteyogacommunity #sheislight #graceupongrace #findyourpurpose #findyourstrength #gracemakers #slowdownandbreathe #empowerandbreathe #balanceandbreathe
