YES!


Happy Valentine's Day....

Many people have mixed feelings about this day of supposed love...over the years I have heard many...Valentine's day is (fill in the blank)...

...the ultimate day of love, a hallmark holiday, the best/ worst evening for a date, it's under/overrated ...The perfect day to get married or engaged...or to say "I love you" for the first time.

My Valentine's day experiences have run the gamut through all of these...a romantic at heart, I have never been extremely excited about Valentine's day...even in those times when I have been in a committed relationship. My experiences have been memorable from going to a party alone (and knowing no one in London), to singles night out with friends, to having a romantic dinner with my significant other. So while other people get depressed and down because they are not on a date...I say YES to this Holiday...what a better day to take care of and love yourself (even if you would rather be loving someone else).

My dear friend, Ashley, walked me through this exercise one time....every morning she wakes up and says "YES" to the day and whatever it brings her....so today, while others are saying YES, I will marry you, YES I love you or YES, let's go out with our friends....I say YES to this amazing day and whatever it brings me. Dinner with great friends and a massage sounds fantastic!

You are LOVE!!!!

This morning, in my daily yoga practice, I had an amazing experience and exercise in stating my personal mantra. My teacher encouraged us to stay in a seated meditation or move into savasana (corpse pose). During said meditation, I spent my time repeating and creating a personal mantra for myself for that moment and for the rest of my day.

Instead of listening to the voice inside my head telling me that I am not good enough, or pretty enough, or successful enough, or I hate the brown spot on my face..and the list goes on... I opted for this:

I am LOVE
I am BEAUTIFUL
I am SUCCESSFUL
I am ABUNDANT
I am A YOGA TEACHER!!!!
I am INTELLIGENT
I am SEXY
I am AMAZING
I am HILARIOUS
I am COMPASSIONATE
I am CREATIVE
I am TALENTED

...I can seriously keep going on for days, but for me in that moment, the negative thoughts just went away. I encourage you to try this, as well. Create a daily mantra for yourself!

Today mine is, I am abundant, wealthy and creative!
