The POWER of the words we use

by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Healthy Living, Healthy Mama, Positive Mindset, Self-care

Each word we say or THINK (yup, think!!!) has power. It has the power to give life to new ideas, new mindsets, new opportunities or it has the power to discourage, hurt and even plant lies in our mind.

I have come across the term “Conscious Language” through a video I watched. What stood out to me is how a small shift in the words we use can create mindset shifts and that’s powerful. Our brain will believe ANYTHING we tell it, so why not tell it things we want to see in our lives?

First step is to start paying attention to the words or phrases you say without even thinking about it for example, “Things like this always happened to me”, “I am not good at technology”, “I wish I could afford that”, “I’m afraid we can’t do this” and any negative thoughts directed at ourselves “I am not creative”, “I can never be like…”, “I am ugly” etc.

This is not to say that now you are going to start saying words or phrases that are not true, it’s just the way we phrase them will change. For example replacing “I wish I could afford that” with “Every day I am getting closer and closer to my goal”, or “I am not good at technology” with “Every day I learn more and more about technology”, “I’m so stupid” with “I am learning through my experiences”. Give the brain HOPE! EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS POSSIBLE! But it all starts with our BELIEF that it’s possible and our words play a key role in that!

STEPS TO START CHANGING YOUR WORDING

1 – Begin to notice any phrases that you would like to replace.

2 – Replace them with a positive thought or use Google to find affirmations that can help you replace those thoughts.

3 – Try out the new wording and the new idea and adjust it until it feels right for you!

Open your heart!

In yoga, heart-opening poses are not only beneficial for physical wellbeing but also for emotional healing! Think of phrases like “It hurt my heart”, “My heart felt heavy” etc. These are not just sayings, our heart is an amazing VITAL organ in our body and our overall wellness is dependent on it and therefore opening our heart and softening the general chest area is beneficial to our whole body wellness.

Our heart is associated with the feeling of love. Being able to show love and give love to those around us but also to ourselves. We also need to be able to receive love from those around us. But sometimes due to previous life experiences and the hurts that the heart experienced we choose to close it up. So how do we open it?

~YOGA POSES – heart-opening poses such as Cobra, Cow, Camel, Fish are great at opening the heart.
~AFFIRMATIONS – “I am worthy of the purest love”, “I release and let go of all resentment”, “I am loving to myself and others”, “There is an infinite supply of love”
~OILS – YLANG YLANG. Ylang Ylang is the oil of the heart. When inhaled it helps experience loving feelings towards yourself and others.  
~CRYSTALS/COLORS – Pink quartz is a great crystal to support the heart chakra. Also, the color of green is associated with the heart chakra.

Essential Oils and Inner Work!

by katielv143, posted in Affirmations, Essential Oils, Healthy Mama, Meditation, mindset, Positive Mindset, Self-care, Wellness

Hey friend! I have been working with essentials oils as a part of my inner work and I just love the growth that I am seeing! I have to share it with you!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WORK WITH ESSENTIAL OILS?

I just choose an oil to support an area that I am looking to grow in and use that oils along with meditation and affirmations every day for 30 days. I journal what comes up as I inhale it – new idea or old memories that it stired. The more I use the oil the quicker I get into the mindset I am working towards. Consistency is key here.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE OIL TO WORK WITH?

Great way to choose an oil is with your inner knowing – your gut feeling. If the blend “Believe” resonates with you, use it. If “Forgiveness” speaks to you, use that. You can also use a few oils at the same time. I would not use more than 3, just because it’s a lot of growth and I find it better to “sit” with the feelings you are working on more focused than try and “bang” it all out at once.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE

1 – Choose an are of growth (Self-Love, Confidence, Trusting yourself, Self-Worth) or notice any patterns that are not serving you (ex. Anxiousness, Defeated, Victim, a great resource for this is “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils” book by Carolyn Mein)

2 – Choose an oil to work with. Using the book I mentioned above or just intuitively picking an oil for yourself to support your goals.

3 – Drop a drop of that oil on your head and rub a drop in your palms and inhale it. Write down affirmations that help you move in the direction of this new goal. Affirmations are positive statements written in the present time. For example, if we are looking for an affirmation for Self-Love our affirmation can be “I accept myself just the way I am”, “I love myself unconditionally” or you can Google affirmations and choose one that speaks to you.

4 – Put the oil and your affirmation next to your toothbrush to make sure you create a routine of using it day and night! Set a reminder in your phone morning and night to focus on yourself for 5 minutes.

5 – Each day read your affirmation, apply your oil, journal what comes up and meditate. The meditation can be long but it doesn’t have to be. You can start with 2-5 minutes of just standing and cupping your face and inhaling the oil after you brush your teeth. Or you can sit down and meditate on what it would feel like when you grow in the direction you want to grow!

6 – After 10 days notice a shirt. Write it down. Repeat this reflection process after 10 days again. And by day 30 you will see the amazing shifts that you might not even expected in yourself. And your will make this a routine because of how much it nourished you and grew you!

WHAT OILS ARE BEST TO USE?

I only work with Young Living oils. Their purity and the way they are produced give them true therapeutic values. After working with these oils for the past 5 years and experiencing amazing benefits physically and emotionally, I am certain these are the best choice. Young Living also creates the most amazing blends of oils. Depending on the growth goals you have you can choose from a variety of blends! Use your intuition, use the “Releasing Emotional Patterns through Essential oils” ass you reference guide and feel free to reach out to me to help guide you in getting started with Young Living as well as which oils to use! I would be honored to support you on your journey to your best self! https://oily.life/katieyev

Mom guilt and overflowing from the mold

by katielv143, posted in Healthy Mama, mindset, moms, motherhood, Positive Mindset

As soon as I wrote the title of this post, I giggled a little. Will people think I am talking about the type of mold that grows in damp places. Let’s set the record straignt – no, I am not talking about that mold! I am talking about the mold that we as moms try to fit ourselved into! Let me give you an example – you become a mom and your mold is “caregiver” but that mold will look different for everyone. For some it will be filled with hours of playtime, for others it will be filled with research on best ways to keep kids healthy, and for someone else it will mean to demostrate that their job is important to them because they thrive on feeling indepenent!

I think you understand where I am going with it! Motherhood, mom guilt and molds , OH MY!

I am not claiming to be an expert on this topic but I AM a mom and I do value being present with my kids and at the same time I value being myself! So this is my view and I hope it inspires you to take a look at your life journey as a mom and if my message does not resonate – GREAT! (I am learning how not to take thing personally) But if this makes you want to explore more of your personal views – then this post has done its job!

Let’s dive in! When we become moms – we have all these ideas of what we’ll do and what we would NEVER do! And I am willing to bet that if you are a mom and you are reading this, you will chuckle because you had all these grand ideas that started with “When I am a mom I will….” and then when reality hit you were like “Nah!”. That was the time when we took all these ideas about what a mom should do and how she should be and how she should NEVER BE and the mold was created – the “mom mold”. And we put ourselves into that mold! And every time we didn’t fit into that mold, we felt guilty! WELL, HELLO MOM GUILT!

So here are some thoughts to ponder:

-Did I outgrow the mold I have created for myself?

-Is the mold that I created outdated?

-Have I added to myself and to my idea of motherhood and need a new mold?

-Am I overflowing from the mold?

You are limitless! You don’t need to put yourself into the mold! Don’t compare yourself to others! You are you!

Yoga and essential oils for releasing anger!

by katielv143, posted in Essential Oils, Healthy Living, mindset, Positive Mindset, Self-care, Uncategorized, Wellness, Yoga

Anger!

It’s a toxic emotion and it has been studied that anger can literally poison our body! Anger can be expressed in many emotions and none of them make us feel good.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO?

Being aware of when you are experiencing the feelings of anger! What causes it? How do you deal with it? If you to be honest with yourself, it is most of the time due to some limiting belief you have about yourself!

Using yoga, affirmations, meditation and essential oils can help release the feelings of anger.

Liver is a body organ associated with the feeling of anger so yoga postures that support liver function will also support releasing anger.

RELEASE and ABUNDANCE are great Young Living blends to use along your yoga practice, meditation practice and affirmations!
