In this weeks Episode, Stavris and Courtney dive deep into what in means to be in conscious relationship. They begin by sharing the story of their beginning and how they both knew they had something special upon meeting. They explore their mindsets before coming together, and where they are in this present moment. They explore fundamental traits in lasting relationships: trust, self ownership & responsibility, growth over comfort, understanding, and the polarity of individual expression & oneness. And Courtney explains some of the Astrology dynamics to look at when looking at romantic relationship: 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th house.
In this week's special (informal) episode I share about my experience during my first NPC Bikini show. My desire for this episode was to discuss what it can look like to set an intention and follow through. My specific intention for the NPC show was to prove to myself that I could set boundaries around the things that I want in life. I am proud to say that I accomplished that goal, but it took me a long time to believe that it was actually possible for me. Looking back at my life I had questioned what my life would look like if I denied myself the pleasures of the world I enjoyed so much. A lot of my identity had been wrapped up in the things I did for the moment, and if I am being honest it was hard for me to see a life without those things. I used the negative experiences and opinions of others to dictate my decisions on taking the leap and trying for myself. When you listen to the voice within you should trust it. You are guided, and when you fulfill the promises you make to yourself, love is released from you.
Most of our life is driven by the subconscious mind but we still avoid it. Our body is mostly controlled by our subconscious mind. All our habits are like a record of past memories. The way our body functions and moves are based in our memories. In order to create our desired future we have to change our subconscious habits.
We form our own comfort zone with our subconscious habits. When you ask someone to leave an unhealthy pattern their body feels threatened by this, because it has to come out of that comfort zone. How we can change destructive habits? How do we become more aligned with the purpose of our soul?
In this weeks episode I reveal 7 steps to have a dialogue with your inner guidance. This practice focuses on having more self awareness, and with our self awareness we can make conscious efforts to change the destructive habits that pull us away from our highest good. We can change our present story and become more aligned with our souls purpose. Practice these 7 steps daily and watch your life transform.
The truth is, we all have a morning routine. We all have patterns we have created in order to accomplish what we feel we need to in order to start the day. We have a combination of unconscious and conscious habits that create our whole day. How do you feel about your morning routine? Do you wake up feeling scattered with no time for yourself? Do you instantly grab your phone and realize 10 minutes later you’ve been scrolling and now feel rushed? Some of our habits belong in the subconscious such as brushing our teeth because to think about how to do that each time just doesn’t work for the average everyday busy human. But I think we can all agree that we have subconscious habits that do not serve us and take away from the experience we desire to have. This weeks episode will provide you with some ideas on how to make your mornings more mindful, intentional, and empower you to decide how you would like to live each and everyday. Your morning practice doesn’t have to be a daunting task, with only 5 minutes of intention you can receive the benefit of deciding what kind of energy you want to bring into the day. There are three categories of focus: Mind, soul (mindfulness), and body. I also dive into some practical science based tools that can help you maximize your day, and feel your best! Remember that we have a choice each and everyday, that it’s not about being perfect, but about making small sustainable movements forward into being who we are meant to be. And if you miss a day, that’s ok, we are human. Keep going.
