Reflection Sundaze: Practice Becoming Aware of Your Surroundings

Many of us live out our live unconsciously by going through the movements without even thinking about it. It is because we are so used to going through the motions of the things we do routinely that we do not first stop to think about what we are actually doing or saying. Because we are not aware of these things, we may also not be aware of these things having negative impacts on our lives. To find out what impacts our lives negatively or positively, it is essential that we become aware of every person and thing we surround ourselves with. 

The first question you should ask yourself is: “What do I surround myself with daily?” Becoming aware of your surroundings is the first step to finding out how your surroundings affect you. In order to figure out the why, you must first become aware of the what. 

So once you become aware of it, you should then ask yourself: “How do I feel about this?” Even think of the time you surrounded yourself with this person or this thing. How did it make you feel: uncomfortable, sad, happy, excited? Noticing how and when your emotions associate with the very people and things our surround yourself with is KEY to figuring out why your life is being affected by it.

Lastly, finding out why you are being affected by your surroundings is deeper than most of us may think. In order to find out, we must go deeper into our minds and find our inner person. Once our inner person is found, it is then that we ask ourselves: “Why does this person or this thing make me feel sad, uneasy or happy?” “Why do I always feel anxious when I pass the library?” 

When we ask, we receive. It is important that we become more aware of ourselves and our surroundings so we are able to know exactly what is affecting our lives, why it affects our lives, and what we can do to change it.  In order to live a conscious life we must first become aware of the things and people we allow in our lives. We will always find the answers to our questions within ourselves. For it is our truest version of ourselves that holds answers to everything we have ever questioned.

It is important to know yourself. 

Thanks for reading. 

Give Thanks. Love All. Stay Royal.

Peace, Love, & Royalty, Fam.

I love you. I care. I’m here for you. I’m grateful. I forgive you. It’s ok. You matter. Count on me. How are you feeling? Can I help? I’m sorry for yelling when I’m hangry. Don’t you dare touch my shoes and/or crystals. Thank you. 🤗 #wordshavepower #chooseyourwordswisely #positivity #reflectionsunday #love #light #grace #alliswell #dharma #abundance #feelings #intention #inspire #elevate #healing #soulful #spirituality #wellness #awareness #consciousliving #yogini #kundalini #mentalhealthawareness #bodymindspirit #oneness 🐰#happyeaster https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwhol83HJmC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13tg04tus2292

Who’s better: Chloe Ting or Me?

You might have heard her from her YouTube fitness channel, or from the recent attack by a Singaporean bodybuilder on his IG stories - Basically, she said ‘get abs in 2 weeks’ and he said ‘that’s BS’. Which, I agree with the bodybuilder that a lot of her statements are misleading, but what do you expect from a YouTuber who has videos titled ‘Boobies & Triceps workout’ and ‘Grow booty not thighs’? 

If you compare Chloe Ting with me back then, of course, Chloe Ting is FAR way better than me. At least her video editing skills and the recipes she share on her channel are great. Meanwhile, I stood in front of 50 people telling them to follow my shitty form for a whole session, and I had so much ego in CrossFit deadlifting 155# when I can barely lift 65# with a good form.

So, am I any better than Chloe Ting today? Still, a no. Her content may not be fully truthful etc but still, look at how many people she managed to motivate to move! We all started learning somewhere, most times we learn from mistakes, failures, sources we thought were reliable etc. What matters is - our drive to continue learning.

I have yet to understand a LOT of things. There are always times when I don’t know how to answer my clients’ questions. There are always days when I feel like a super shitty PT and that I'm cheating off their money. But at the end of the day, I know that the only option I have is to always try to learn more and figure out with my clients what works well for them with the best of my knowledge.

I workout to compete, to teach and for my general wellbeing. And if you’re working out to look like Chloe Ting and she can really motivate you, BE IT.

And from the deepest part of my heart, I am really thankful to my clients who have trusted and stayed with me, allowing me to be part of their health/fitness journey, and giving me a platform for my own self-improvement. 

Hope you guys had a great weekend!

When I’m facing your FEARS ... . I feel attacked I feel helpless I feel inadequate I feel disengaged I feel negative I feel NOT ENOUGH . Have you had those feelings too? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ . Here’s the words of Encouragement I received from my Entrepreneur Team leader Trudy Beerman . He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Mathew 17:20 . A mustard seed guys... I know HE loves me, how Am I forgetting all HIS PROMISES? . Time to reflect and pray for CLARITY AND FAITH . Are you FACING A MOUNTAIN? . #ReflectionSunday #beachlover #holisiticlifestyle #40andfabulous #bebeautiful #fashionandfitness #tonedbody #momofboys (at Microsoft) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4_dC-kh-SJ/?igshid=154ggrc1rg5wd

Lesson of the dayS! I love my Reflection Sundays. It’s the only real time I get a few hours to listen to my self without concerns for ANYTHING. Listen to your heart not your mind. When you know you know and you don’t know why or how you know but you still know. That is our intuition. It’s the very first thing that had to be developed when we did not have knowledge, language or wisdom. When we could not google. We have evolved thanks to our intuition and now we disregard it. #reflectionsunday #evolveintolove #trustyourgut

Here is the hardest place to be. Now is a tough time to live in. We make plans for the future, we think about the past, we make appointments, we put photos of memories in frames. We plan for birthdays and holidays, what we’re going to do on the weekend. And when we’re done with work, we say things like: one day, when the time is right, remember when, when that happens, I can’t wait till, if only that didn’t happen... The future and the past occupy a whole lot of our time and energy. But this moment? How much energy and attention does it get? So much takes us away from what is happening right now, in real time, in front of our eyes, hearts, body, and minds, with the people we love and the people we share the world with. From technology to social media to TV series and to ads everywhere, and things like cravings, desire to travel and be somewhere else. Anything can be used to keep us from facing what “now” has to offer. Matthew records Jesus talking about worry and the future, which is recorded in chapter 11 verses 25-34. The monologue ends with this: “Give your entire attention to what God is doing is right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.” (MSG) I think more than it being a command to not worry, Jesus was talking about living in the moment. Being here, right now, being attentive and awake. Living one day at a time. What is keeping you from living in the moment? And what is it that takes you away from the reality of the present and the awareness of what God is doing for and with you today? #MyDailyDevo #TheSimpleLifeLessons #reflectionsunday via Instagram http://ift.tt/2G5633C

Well if that’s not a throwback, I don’t know what is... if you read my blog last week, you know that I was having computer problems, but was able to get it operational in time for my Reflection Sunday post! Which was awesome! But... on Wednesday this week, my MacBook Pro decided it was going to flake out again. So I’ve been trying to recover it with a time machine backup, but that wasn’t working. So now I’m reinstalling the OS, and it decided it wanted to go all the way back to Mountain Lion, the original OS on this machine. All this to say... if this works (and at this point it’s a pretty big IF) it probably won’t be done in time for me to get my #ReflectionSunday blog post up and shared. 😔 So I’m taking the week off, and am going to enjoy a mostly unplugged weekend! 😊

Sometimes God will bring us to a place where we feel abandoned to help us realise that He is true to His word; that when he says he will never leave us, nor forsake us, He meant it. In those moments, He strips us of our dependence on the things of this world, on other people, and on ourselves, and teaches us to depend on Him. God brings us to a place where we feel like He's all we've got left. And you know what's the most beautiful thing I've learned from those moments, something I need to be constantly reminded of? He's all I need anyways. The one thing that remains, through trial and pain is the only thing I'll ever need.
