Self Love

Self love and respect are two life essentials and lessons. May we all find the path that leads us to the road of self acceptance and may we never forget our inner strength, uniqueness, and ability to overcome life's challenges. To others you will always be too much or not enough of something, but what matters most is how you "See" and "Believe" in yourself. Once this is accomplished, you can "Achieve" anything your heart desires. Wishing you all a beautiful start to the weekend! 

Big hugs,
Ane

    As someone who has explored this a lot I so agree.

  2. So the biggest question is how far one is willing to go on this path of freeing oneself from things which are "not good for my health". From stress inducing excess TV and internet, to chemical foods, to foods which are not really good for us even if natural, to foods which need to be processed in certain ways for maximum value...

  3. You bring up an excellent point. I believe self-awareness is key to understanding what are the toxic stress factors weighing on one's ability to live a healthy life. I personally, take this approach whenever things are feeling a little off center. I also believe it's about finding a healthy balance. Being aware of the "triggers" that cause stress or unhealthy living is important to beginning the process of making better and healthier choices. It isn't easy to make the change, but it is definitely worth it. Once you get to experience the benefits of making health choices, it then becomes part of daily life. However, I also believe it is important to remember that as humans, we are not perfect and that one misstep doesn't mean we will never obtain our goal. As they say, "practice makes perfect." :)

"National Call to Action Against Suicide"

Jason Mraz "I Won't Give Up"  Should you or someone you know need help, contact the National Crisis Hotline at 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) As I write these words, I am numb knowing that 17-year old Carlos Vigil took his own life in my home state of New Mexico. He was part of a well known youth center I enjoyed stopping by on visits back home. I always felt inspired by what the innovative things the youth were doing and the sincere caring nature of the staff always sent me back to Washington, DC with a new sense of hope. I write this as a message to those suffering in silence and to honor the memory of a young life gone to soon. No matter what troubles lie in your path, please know that suicide is not the answer. It does not matter if you knew Carlos Vigil personally, because every time a child dies by suicide, it is a tragic loss to all of humanity.  From what I have read Carlos was a compassionate leader. He was a member of a well-known youth center in his communi

See You At The Gym! On The Road To Becoming Physically and Mentally Fit.

I like many others made a resolution to get fit- both financially and physically. If I could do it once (during my pageant days), of course I could do it again, right? After two days of weight training (5 lb dumbbells) and stair climber I could barely lift my arms to get dressed in the morning, much less get in and out of my car without wincing. As I sat reeking of Icy Hot , reality set in...and it wasn't pretty. I was out of shape! Being physically fit definitely contributes to being mentally fit. A study by Arizona State has proven the positive effects related to mental health, through physical fitness. Findings showed that consistent exercise decreased feelings of anxiety and depression, and increased self-esteem, ability to deal with stressful situations, and contributed to better sleep patters. It is also hypothesized that regular exercise can combat the onset of depression (although further study needed to be done). Today, it is estimated that 1 out of every 5 Americans wil
