With the supreme court overturning Roe vs. Wade, many have shared feelings of anger, defeat, and anxiousness.

If you’re someone that is gripping onto worries about the future and losing hope in this country, tune into this week’s episode (Season 2, Episode 5) of the Creative Mindsets for Business Podcast for an empowering and inspirational meditation that will help you find acceptance in the challenge of the unknown and faith in new possibilities - it’s courage.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, “Justices continue to think and can change. I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eyes will be open tomorrow.”

Happy fourth of July weekend to all

Hopefully you’re having sun fun in the sun and appreciating all that you have.

For me, I took a short camping trip with my family out to big be3ar..

It’s crazy to think that after all these years, this was our FIRST camping trip as a family, both my parents, my brother, and his gf, and my dog pito bean were there.

Even with all the anxiety from having too many backseat drivers in one car, this weekend is stamped in my heart as one of my most memorable events of my life.

It’s nice being at this age with my parents where no one has to parent anymore, so we can all just relax and truly enjoy each other's company, and joke around.

And my brother and I are in such a state of appreciation and gratefulness for the love that we all carry for each other…

This weekend was a much needed, beautiful experience for me..

With everything going on in the world, it helped me keep my focus and attention on what I do have and what’s going really well for me.

With the supreme court overturning Roe vs. Wade, it can be easy to get stuck in feelings of anger, defeat, anxiety, and hold onto worries about the future of this country.

But I honestly think this decision is a reminder to us all:

That life is not fair

We will fail, and we will fail often

And the only thing certain in this world is change

But if you're feeling defeated by this decision, don’t let a moment of defeat mean you’ve been defeated

If you choose to take a risk, and step up when times are the toughests,

The work you put in today WILL change the world for the better, FOR the next generation.

But first, you must acknowledge that MORE is possible

A moment of defeat does not mean you stop,

All it means is you find another way.

These are NOT the times that you lose hope.

This is the time you accept the challenge,

Accept the challenge of the unknown - it’s courage.

Navigate unchartered territory

And trust everything is happening for a reason.

Hope is knowing everything is happening for a reason

Keep your hope and keep your courage.

Hope is the spark of life that guides you

It gives you strength and it gives you courage to take the next step

The more you nurture hope,

The most optimistic you feel,

The more you will create positivity and joy,

And what was once fearful will dissipate

Never give up. This is your time to step up.

— Ruth Bader Ginsburg - “Justices continue to think and can change. I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eyes will be open tomorrow.”

Now if you haven’t meditated yet, I highly recommend you do...even if it’s just for 1 minute a day….

There are a million benefits to your health, your performance, emotional regulation...so much…

Additionally, there are some powerful meditations that really strike and open the mind to new possibilities.

And I’d like to share one that I made, with you today.

Enjoy your meditation:

Welcome to this mindfulness practice, as we focus on the quality of courage

ensure you're lying down or sitting in a peaceful and quiet place

Whether you're feeling defeated, weak, or courageous today, remember that there is very little difference between these states of being, as they all hold fear.

In those moments where you feel defeated or you feel like you have the least amount of power, it’s in those moments you gain your biggest insights and build yourself back up even stronger than before.

When things don't go as planned, and unexpected challenges surface, this sets off your true creativity, Because you must tap further into your creative reserves to get you to the other side of the pits.

When others give up, learn to recognize, these challenges are a necessary part of the creative process and your growth, which contributes to much appreciation to what's on the other side.

It is said that the coward listens to his fears and becomes frozen by them, and all controlled by them.

The courageous person puts them aside and pushes through or meanders around the obstacles and refuses to be ruled by dread.

Now enter unchartered territory.

Take a deep breath and forge your way ahead.

Accept the challenge of the unknown.

Accepting the challenge of the unknown is courage.

Accept your challenges again, again and again.

And then all that was fearful, will soon disappate.

observe the difficulties

intuitively sense the path to take

Allow change, welcome change.

Know that Change is as inevitable as it is transformational.

Courage paves the way for integrity.

Integrity paves the way for emotional intelligence.

Intelligence is curiosity.

Curiosity opens your world

Scan your body now,for any point in which you are holding tension, fatigue

Send softness, calm and harmony in the crown of the head

rest your hands beside you

your palms open in an attitude of giving and receiving.

Release the burden upon your shoulders

soften your eyes

above the eye

behind the eye

again, again and again

Focus upon your breath

as you breathe in notice that the body fills with energy

Allow it to flow through you

In your your entire being

Bring your breath from your head to your toes and back out into the ether.

Allow the breath to breathe you

as you find yourself more and more relaxed allowing your breathing to become deeper and deeper.

Until you feel at one with yourself with the spaciousness that surrounds you

the sounds that move by you

The rhythm of your heartbeat and the blood flowing through your veins

be aware of the fact that you are breathing

allow my voice to serve you

to guide you to your inner world

breathe slowly, deeply

I Am Strong

I am strong

I am breathing in

I am breathing out

I conquered that I fear

I am safe

I am enough

Breathing in

Breathing out

peace with myself

I am in peace with myself

I am at peace with world

I trust

I calm body

I soothe my mind

I welcome change

My past is my past

I let go of my fears

Courage come forth

I shall remain silent for a little while

As you focus simploy on your breathe

Allow rest to come

my voice will come back to you soon

Be aware of your Breathing

Notice its cycle

In, pause

Out, pause

Beware of your Breathing

Notice its cycle

In, pause

Out, pause

I Am Strong

I am strong

I conquer all that I fear

I am safe

I am enough

The breathe,

The breathe

I soothe my mind

I let go of my fear.

Courage, come forth

When you enter uncharted territory, take a deep breath and forge your way ahead.

accept the challenge of the unknown.

accepting the challenge of the unknown is called courage.

You can’t swim for New Horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.

Be aware, be clear , be Strong

Peace, peace, peace2

Alright, thank you for taking the time to meditate with me.

Before I let you go, I have a few updates for you!

If you’re someone that takes your body to the gym, because your health is not only important, but it’s a priority for you,

And you’re not engaging in daily mindset practices such as gratitude, meditation, journaling, affirmations…you're missing out on taking your mind to the gym, which means you’re not fully prioritizing your health.

How we care for our minds affects how we experience life, so it’s important to invest time and care into keeping both our body and our mind healthy.

Which is why I started the 5 AM club.

The 5 AM club is an Instagram LIVE that takes place weekly, Monday - Friday at 5 AM PST.

I started this last week and I’ve been using this time to do mindfulness practices for 30 minutes, and I invite you to do join the LIVE and do the same.

This LIVE is an opportunity to support each other and be accountable to doing what is important to us , our health – Strengthening our mind, and cultivating our creativity.

As a coach, I’m constantly preaching the value of implementing mindfulness practices into daily routines.However, I have recently been inconsistent with my own meditation and journaling practices.

As a result, I feel more distracted and less productive throughout my day, and i can feel small challenges expanding in my mind and body.

Now, I know what to do to fix the problem, and have more clarity, focus, and peace in my mind …. Most of us do…

But I’m sure most of you can relate, information is not enough to drive us to action.

We need support and accountability, and Instagram LIVE will give you just that!

It WILL give you support and accountability in creating new mindset practices that stick!.

So join the 5 AM club – my Instagram LIVE, Monday-Friday at 5 AM PST.

It’s early enough for you to dedicate 30 minutes to yourself without the rest of your day getting in your way.

It also sets your day off on the right note!

When you join, you can follow along with the mindfulness practices I’m leading, OR you can do your own thing after you log in — our time together is very informal.

If you can’t make the 5 AM session, feel free to watch the recording and follow along when you have availability.

The intent for the LIVE and recording is to help you and I create space in our day for things that are important for you, for us!, AND to be a support and accountability system for each other.

So if you want to join, Make sure you’re following @empwerhouse_Coaching.

Again, that is empowerhouse_coachig on IG.

If you’re looking for more than daily mindfulness practices in your healthy and strong brain journey, Coaching on the FLY can be a great support option for you.

I’m sure we’ve all had one bad experience or circumstance spiral out in our mind and ruin the rest of our day, week, or sometimes even years!

And, for me, I have found when I’m trying to work through the issue in isolation, the issue seems to expand, and becomes harder to step outside myself, gain perspective, and find a solution,

Which creates more stress and anxiety for me.

Coaching on the FLY helps you work through your obstacles as they come.

You schedule your sessions when things come up, and you get 30 minute VIP coaching with me!

In your 30 minute coaching session, together, we’ll help you:

Gain clarity on what a breakthrough would look like for you
* Uncover what is stopping or slowing you down from having that
* Create empowered actions that propel you forward

Following your 30 minute coaching session, you will have gained clarity on what you want, the best path forward to achieve it, and you will walk away with at least one major aha about how to get unstuck and take massive action.

Coaching on the FLY is ONLY $65 per 30 minute session, or $50 per session when you buy a pack of 4 or more.

That’s cheaper than most dinners, and you’re getting a breakthrough instead of a stomach ache.

Shoot, that price is cheaper than getting my nails done, lol.

Whether it’s me or someone else, it’s always good to have support in talking things through and getting the poison out of system. Because Lord knows stress creates dis-ease in the body, and diseases can kill.
