I felt like I needed to control EVERYTHING! I needed to control my schedule, my children, how many clients I took on, my consistency in my practice, and every other aspect of my life. When I realized that control was the exact thing that made me cut off the flow of abundance and was controlling me, I decided, no matter how hard it is, it’s time to let go. Yoga has always been my way to connect and now that I’m coming from a place of personal power instead of force, I gain more on the mat too. I use to go into practice with my head set on what I’m going to accomplish, but it’s the practice where I’m letting go and flowing into whatever comes next that serves me the best and is the most beneficial.

I’ve taken this idea of letting go into my daily life as I watch my children. My oldest who gives me the hardest time feels like he has to be in charge and control everyone and everything around him. He was a reflection of what I was doing in my world and even though I’m a positive person who is fun loving and full of life, I still felt the need to control. This is a new phase in my life and I see many new changes taking place in my world this year. Now that I can let go and go with the flow I’m allowing more positive to flow into my world. This is something I can take onto my mat and into the world everyday. If you feel the same need to control, try a practice in letting go. Begin with letting go of tension in the body, clearing the mind as you breathe. Then move into a flowing practice with the body doing what feel right, without mentally controlling every move, letting go. Once you come into your relaxation (Savasana), imagine letting go of any restraints and feeling energy flow into every part of your being. You can do this, even if it isn’t instantly. Set the intention, without force, and learn to let go. Take it into your everyday life and become aware of when you’re trying to control, as you recognize this begin to repeat “Go with the flow”. It will make you feel more calm immediately.

 Are you a professional woman who is struggling to make time for yourself? Are the daily obligations of a busy work schedule, taking care of the kids, corporate deadlines, numerous meetings and other time constraints taking their toll on you? If you feel like you’ve lost your enjoyment in life and are running on autopilot, I have the answer.

Life doesn’t have to be a full day of all work and no play. In fact, it’s easier than you think to make time for yourself everyday. As a busy professional and mother of 3, I know how it feels to be over-obligated on a daily basis. The key to living life fulfilled instead of overwhelmed is taking bits of time for yourself in each and every day. I help women do this because I know how important it is to overcome stress and have a clear mind. I always say ” You are the only one who is responsible for your body, and if you aren’t taking care of it, nobody else will.” The truth is, if we don’t take care of our bodies, they won’t take care of us. We only get one body in this current life so why not treat ourselves how we deserve to be treated?

I work with overwhelmed women by helping them to care for themselves as much as they do for others. Does that sound like you? Probably not. For whatever reason we put others and all of our duties ahead of taking time for ourselves and that’s a hard habit to break. But there is a solution! As soon as you can recognize that your time you spend on yourself is the most important time in your day, life becomes easier.

Do you struggle daily with keeping your energy level high, overcoming stress, keeping patience with your children, staying focused on projects, sleeping well at night, or having  a positive outlook? This is all normal when dealing with too many hours spent on everything in your life and not enough time on yourself. I know we don’t have all day to focus on ourselves and that’s why I teach you to use small amounts of time to add up to huge benefits in your health.

Stress related illness makes up 75-90% of all illnesses seen by doctors.

At least 50% of adults report daily work stress.

99% of working moms say their schedule stresses them out.

Women are twice as likely to have stress symptoms than men.

You don’t have to be a statistic! I believe that True Health is being connected Body, Mind, and Spirit. No matter how many times you hear it, the truth is that when you have the balance and wellness of all three, your life flows much easier. Life isn’t suppose to be hard to deal with, we have enough responsibilities without adding our own personal stress on ourselves by feeling guilty, angry, or inadequate. Chances are, the feelings that bring us down and cause stress are only put on us by our own ideas of how we are “suppose” to be. By taking control of our thought patterns and turning the negative into positive, we begin to see ourselves better. Then by making time for a physical practice we begin to feel better in our body. And by taking time to listen inward and have internal awareness we begin to react to the world around us in a more positive way. Eventually life is fulfilled and we enjoy even the little things with a sense of contentment.

Isn’t life really about living? We should all look forward to our day with excitement and feel gratitude for all the blessings in our life. We don’t have to be “perfect” to be happy. Life is about living with joy and peace. Find time today to enjoy a moment and feel peace with yourself and who you are.

If you feel like you need help with making time for yourself to overcome stress and truly enjoy life, you’ve come to the right place.
