Every choice we make takes us down a different timeline. We are at these crossroads in every moment. All of us know that we can do and be more than what we are. It’s the simplest choices that form our reality. The decision to exercise when we are stressed, or the choice to eat a fatty meal instead is just one example. Or to go above and beyond at work or do the bare minimum. Our lives are just a series of crossroads, the choice is as simple as the shadow and the light. We can listen to the shadow’s voice that postpones action, and leads us astray; or we can listen to soul, the intuition, the gut, the angel within, whatever you call it. Every time we make the right choice, we strengthen that foundation, and it becomes easier to do. When we choose to accommodate the shadow, the ego, the lower self, we lower our vibration and attract things that resonate with that frequency.

Connecting our mind, body and soul
The greatest catalyst for growth is our heart and emotions. Nothing motivates mankind like the pull of the heartstrings, that’s why every great music artist sings about love. Love is the eternal force that binds us to each other. Whether it’s as friends, family or partners, the force propels us into action. When we are in alignment with our heart’s desires, life flows smoothly like a gentle creek. When we begin to value logic over the heart, we begin to experience dissonance. Our natural impulse is to follow our heart, but the mind always supplies ample reasons to ignore it. You can manipulate yourself into believing anything, that’s the power of the human experience. That is why we have blind faith in different world views, religions, doctrines and so on. When you manage to reduce the ego’s influence over your daily actions, you are learning to act from the heart space. The mind is always trapped in ego, as they share the same chamber. The heart is tethered to our soul, that is why the pain can be so long-lasting. Only by uniting the mind with the heart, and eventually the gut, can you find inner peace. The more you practice self-love through exercise and meditation, the easier this process becomes.
How incremental changes in our thinking produce big results.
The struggle for dominance of the mind is fought between the shadow and higher self on a daily basis. Whenever you choose to do something that you don’t want to do, you are reprogramming your consciousness. Small incremental changes of even 1% more effort, repeated daily, can lead to monumental growth in our lives. Be the kind of person who does the dishes after they cook, completes a project the day it’s assigned, hits the gym even on the hard days, or even just being generous without expectation. When you act from a place of power, you are raising your vibration and giving more life to the light within. The more you push yourself past the hard stuff, the easier everything else becomes. The longer I live the more I realize how difficult but rewarding life is. Life is always going to throw anxiety and doubt your way, only by healing your inner wounds can you overcome them on a daily basis. When you choose to forgive yourself, or those who have hurt you, you are expressing gratitude to the universe and delivering a message of positivity. Whatever you focus your intent on, is what your reality is. Our daily choice to exercise, to work, to be kind, are the things that define who we are. Who you are when everything is going smoothly is important, because that is your character. However, who you are when life is beating you down, is the crux of your soul’s aptitude to evolve. When we do the stuff we love, we are filled with all sorts of chemicals that elevate our moods. When times are tough, the mind can become the enemy and do the opposite! Our mind during anxiety and depression is really “our inner bitch” that is holding us back. This is the part of you that skips the gym, just this one time, then the next. If you want to see your life catapult into abundance, conquer your inner bitch.
