Booked and busy! ACE says she was born with a TODO list, many of us feel this way. However, Alicia reflects about being booked and busy after her mother passed away. She found herself saying yes to projects and things that have really been a no. She teaches us how to authentically say yes to ourselves. It's about saying yes to yourself even if that means saying no to someone else. ACE asks us to reflect on how many times we say "NO" to ourselves. There is power in saying, "yes" and "no" to yourself. She challenges us to think of how many times we have counted ourselves out. Time to chose you!

Going through tough times can leave us with self doubt, fear and faithless. However, finding affirmations or rituals can help us navigate hard times. In this episode, ACE walks us through affirmations that we can use during tough times. After ACE did a yoga teacher training she learned that she was not using her throat chakra. In this episode, ACE walks us through affirmations we can tell ourselves when we're going through tough times. We move out of survival mode and move in to a nourishing language.
Here are some affirmations to practice:
I am free
I am beautiful
I am brave
I am love
I am JOY!

When we feel disrespected, abused or mistreated, forgiveness can be the farthest thing from our mind. However, forgiveness is a gift more for ourselves than for the person we're forgiving. Dr. Fred Luskin from Stanford University teaches us about forgiveness. In this episode ACE walks us through not only Dr. Luskin's list but also some personal experiences. There is also a mediation to help us forgive the person who has hurt us.
Dr. Fred Luskin's list:
1. Be aware of your feelings
2. Forgiveness is for your own sake
3. Do not expect reconciliation
4. Recognize how the event is affecting you in the present
5. Learn to activate the relaxation response
6. Concentrate on what you can control
7. Move on
8. Be the agent of change in your life
9. Change the story!

So much of our joy can be discovered through finding fertile ground. When you're rooted and are able to build relationships with others it lends itself to become a new individual. In this episode ACE walks us through kindness we receive from others. Often we overlook kindness when it comes to the joy we experience in our lives. She walks us through a meditation to thank a person who has shown us kindness.

When was the last time you thought about what brings you joy? Many times we think joy is what others tell us it is. We don't often reflect on our own lives and what we consider joyful. In this episode Ace walks us through a beautiful meditation to help us find the joy within us.

How we speak to ourselves shapes our outlook and confidence in this world. It is the energy we give out. We try so hard to treat others with kindness and watch our words with others, do we do that with ourselves?

We've all been there, we committed to something and it slipped the mind. This is exactly what happened to Ace when she was reminded about Lighting in a Bottle, a music festival in the desert she was going to teach yoga classes at. While camping is not Ace's forte, she was ready to enjoy it. It was an experience that left a liberating impact on her.
