The cycle of good is broken by a single act of negativity. The cycle of negativity is stopped by choosing the good -- not just once, but again and again until it is goodness that prevails in your life and in our world altogether. ~
john morton

What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of? ~ Julia Cameron

Asana of the week: ANY TWISTING!! (my personal favorite is a supine twist, laying on the back letting the knees fall to the side)

Exercise Tip of the week: Relax into stretch. There are few better metaphors for releasing negativity than getting flexible...I invite you to try something new with "stretching" DON"T PULL, DON"T TRY!! This only focuses on the "negative" or relative "tightness", instead we relax and breath into the space just at our edge, giving the muscles time to become used to being long. don't know how to do this? come to yoga with me :) Can't join me? That's fine, find a YIN yoga class!!!

At Luna Fitness the focus for the month was "DETOX" and the more I thought about it the more I realized that we generally look at detox as a physical process, fasting, cleansing, and sweating and while all this is fantastic I wonder about the rest of our being? What about emotionally, mentally, spiritually? How much of our physical garbage is related to our interal trash? I invite you this week to focus on detox the whole you. Seeking out and releasing that negative self talk by replacing it with something fantastic.

I'm working very closely with affirmations and finding that "ridding" is difficult but "replacing" that works so much better. So we don't "not" do things, we "do" what we want. So no more "I will not overeat", instead "I am eating healthy"; no more "I will not skip workouts", instead "I am full of energy and enjoying my workouts", What can you DO!!!

Want to know more? Want some help? come by and see me at Luna or email me, we have several people that can help you identify and release that mental toxicity which may be the REAL reason you are struggling to achieve your goals.
