This week’s mantra is: “I’m in resistance because I’m about to transform.” When you start to feel overwhelmed and are in resistance: 1. place your hands on your body 2. Take 3 deep belly breaths 3. Identify resistance 4. HONOR YOUR BODY through POWER OF CHOICE The more you practice sitting at the edge of resistance, the more confident and trusting you will get in your ability to move through it.

Commit this week to being more mindful of when your subconscious brain takes over and hijacks the very thing you desire. In that moment, notice it, then label it and choose again. You have the power of choice. Release any fears and habits that block you from receiving the love and support you desire.  www.AudreySuttonMills.com

We all experience trauma, which is anything that creates a negative response in your body and mind. It happens when we feel we don’t have control or agency in our lives. Andrea Wetterau, EMDR perinatal therapist shared how to heal birth trauma. Thank you for sharing and reviewing and being here!

You don’t have to be all, do all for all. Actually it’s pretty impossible. You won’t do it all well. Instead of wanting more, I invite you to want less and be more focused on the very most important things. Focus helps guide you to what is most important and helps you stay on your purpose. If you don’t define what is most important to you, someone else will. People will grab for your attention. Tasks will BEG for you to complete them. What is MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU - and focus on that.

Habit building is hard because you’re literally rewiring your brain. Here are 3 easy steps to create lasting habits: 1. Create easy wins. 2. Design your environment to build lasting repetition. 3. Tack the new habit on to an old habit you’re already doing. Action creates momentum. Discipline is where it all starts. Discipline isn’t punishment. It’s freedom and it does feel good.

Taking responsibility for your own internal state is empowering and leads to freedom and ease in life and your relationships. When you’re in resentment, offended or hurt by someone, see it as an opportunity to turn inward, not lash outward, to view how your expectations of how that person should be is really just a story you’re telling yourself and is not coming from a place of love. You have the power to create your reality by shifting your expectations of it.

Although shelter quarantine and this COVID-19 pandemic is unwanted, perhaps this experience is showing up at the right time to give you your sacred retreat for quiet time, personal care and inner reflection.

The practice of meditation is just a practice to watch your mind and make a conscious choice to come back to your breath, to the sensations in your body, to the present moment, so in your daily life, when you get distracted, feel untethered or become heated from a story in your head, you can come back to your breath, to your body and to this present moment, remembering this moment is exactly where you’re supposed to be. www.audreysuttonmills.com

Mindfulness is being connected to the present moment, to the joy and the magic of life that surrounds you. Meditation is the daily practice of staying present, nurturing your heart and letting go of the story so you can see and feel what is in front of you. 1. Rise 2. Pee 3. Meditate 4. Breathe + witness 5. Detach head toL www.audreysuttonmills.com for guided meditation + PDF printout

During chaos, I use these 3 techniques to help me stay grounded and curate calm: 1. Focus on what you DO have control of 2. Create sacred time to connect 3. Take care of yourself, so you can take care of each other We are all in this together. Take care of yourself, so you can take care of each other. Peace begins with you.

Everyone holds trauma. Our pain is universal. Healing is not linear. Today on the podcast, he shares how you can transform limitations of your conditioned beliefs into empowering ways of being through his 8 principles to heal your trauma and build resilience:

Our relationships are direct portals to our wounds. Taking responsibility for how you show up and changing your beliefs by watching your thought patterns lead to freedom. Your external world is a reflection of your internal world. Change your thoughts, change the result. Change your actions, you inspire others to change.

We go deep into healing old wounds by looking at your story around body shaming and self-loathing and empower yourself by re-writing your story to create more self-love and intimacy with Cara Kovacs, a third generation healer and an intimacy alchemist empowering people to have better sex lives, heal from old patterns and wounds, and cultivate radical self-love.
