How to be at peace when in the midst of choas

One of the rules for personal observation, is called, “Santosa”, which means modesty; contentment with what we have or in other words, to be at peace with oneself.  In order to be at peace, one has to accept oneself, flaws and all. However, true peace, is when one can be calm and still in the midst of a heavy hardship or challenge in one’s life -- even when they are surrounded by others who are suffering and/or others who are running and screaming, “Chaos! Chaos Chaos!” all over the place (at least, it can sometimes feel that way at times) – and still come out on the other side and say, “It’ll turn out just fine.” With a smile on their  face . Peace comes from within. We cannot be given peace, only WE can find and create that solitude and comfort within ourselves.

In relation to Santosa, here is a story that might give you, the reader, a better grasp on the idea: There once was a man whose son was in the army. This man one day got a very terrible feeling and did not want his son to get killed. Instead of the father focusing on what he didn’t want (his son getting killed), he focused on his son’s future, health, and well-being and this made him feel good. Then, one day his son fell off his horse and broke his leg. People began to say to the father, “Oh no! You’re son fell off his horse and broke his leg!” “You’re son broke his leg! This is so terrible!” “You’re son’s leg is broken! Oh, how devastating and sad that is!”. The father would always reply, “You know, I think it’s a good thing. I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I don’t know why, but I think this is a very good thing.”. The next day, all the soldiers were called to war and the son did not get called because his leg was broken. Even though the event of the son falling off his horse and breaking his leg, seemed to be a bad negative event in the moment,  it turned out to be a rather good thing in the long run and probably saved his life. In this story, the father remained calm and at peace, even when everyone around him seemed to be scared and in chaos about his son’s leg getting broken. This is an example of Santosa being at peace with oneself and life no matter the circumstances.

Santosa both is an attitude that we choose to have and or create within ourselves and it effects our actions. If the father in the story was not in Santosa, then he probably would have reacted like everyone else, scared and chaotic. Santosa ( the knowing that everything will be okay and that everything is a process), effects the mind and therefore our actions. 

Wouldn't it be nice if our prime intention was to not cause harm?

I am currently in a yoga teacher training program and I thought I would share this with you. :) 

Ahimsa is not causing pain in all aspects of life: physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and verbally. This means not physically harming  anyone, not hurting someone’s feelings, not insulting anyone’s intellect, not putting anyone down for who they are and to never use harsh words towards another individual. We not only want to implement this kindness towards others but also to ourselves and to animals and mother earth.  If we all incorporated compassion, mindfulness, kindness, and friendliness, this world would be a much better place.

            Yoga is an act of non-violence, mindfulness and compassion towards our bodies and teaches us to treat others the way we would want to be treated. Instead of resorting to medication or surgery to lose weight or heal our bodies, we do yoga which is soft, gentle and loving yet still challenges the mind body and spirit in a healthy way that will build strength and endurance. Yoga does not only benefit the body but it opens the heart and heals wounds that the spirit/soul might be holding onto from past times. Doing yoga helps us get away from all the negativity and stress that exists in the outside world and to reconnect with our true divine selves. Yoga does not only heal the body but it also heals the heart and the spirit. When the heart and spirit is open and whole, the channels of wisdom and knowledge can flow with more ease.

            This world would be a much more peaceful place if more people were kind, compassionate, and mindful to others. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if everyone’s intention was to be kind and to not harm anyone? There are so many ways humans hurt one another: emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually and verbally. Let us all be kind to one another and implement the philosophy and way of life called Ahimsa.

Your thoughts might be more powerful than you think!

We are all transmitters and receivers. What we think is what the universe creates and brings to us, the thinker, no matter good or bad, it is what the thinker creates. The universe does not understand, no, not… or any other negative connotations. If one thinks to themselves, “I do not want to be late. I do not want to be late!”, then they will in fact be late because the universe does not comprehend the word “not”.  All it hears is, “I do want to be late. I do want to be late!” Of course, on this individual’s drive to their destination, all the lights will turn red.  It is not because they universe hates them or that they are unlucky, it is just mere fact that they created it with their thoughts. Our thoughts are very powerful. They don’t just determine the words we speak, how we treat others, our personality…it determines our life and the opportunities that open up and come to us! It all boils down to what we choose to focus on.

        There will always be obstacles in life, which surprisingly do not play a huge part in one’s life. The struggle and stress or the enlightenment and balance are determined by how one deals with their challenges. This is the key component. What the mind thinks is a good indicator of how the body will respond. 

The Mind and the Body are Connected! 

When the mind is focused on their divine self and is in an accepting state of mind, the body will move with ease and fluidity. When the mind is in a selfish and is in an insecure place, the body will move heavily and feel unstable.  Most people have not mastered letting go and being mindful of their ego. The ego is quite silly and shallow. It cares about mainly what is on the outside rather than what’s on the inside – which is what truly counts in the end. When the mind and body have chosen to be closed off  because they are fearlful for their own personal reasons their body will tense up. However, when the mind and body are open and free from any judgemental thoughts, they will most likely have a very enjoyable time because there body will be lose and open which will allow their mind, body and spirit to grow.

                It is all about learning how to condition one’s mind , understanding the law of attraction and how powerful one’s thoughts truly are. Everyone is on their path and the sooner we realize and understand this concept about the universe the sooner we can rid the disease from our life.  Know thy self . Understand and be mindful of your challenges, for they have a lot to teach you about yourself and the world. When one knows thyself, they can begin to understand the universe.

~An Important Message from Your Truly ♥~

I recently was talking with a friend about the effects that the media has had on society and the way it has changed people to think and perceive certain aspects of life and even THEMSELVES (i.e. relationships, sex, women, respect, manners, what is considered natural, fashion, the human body...etc.) And it is just all so sad... 
I  want to say that YOU are beautiful. You can be ANYTHING you want to be. You CAN change ANYTHING you want to change. (Whether it be your body, who you surround yourself with, who you call your friends and family and even the world -- you can do anything baby.) You are the most powerful force you have in your life. Take life by the bootstraps and set your life into MOTION! YOU create the world you live in. I personally love to live in reality and fantasy at all times. It's not because I am in denial, it is actually quite the opposite. It's where I can be most honest and find my inner peace, the path of peace that leads and shows me my destiny, this path shows me my passion; my purpose. Find what makes YOU the happiest.

 Everyone has THEIR OWN mountain to climb. Find YOUR mountain and start climbing baby. There will be treacherous times and there will victorious times. Just know that YOU CAN do it. <3 We are all behind you 100%. You can have any life you wish to have. <3 Don't listen to what society says because they lie to you so they can keep you in the gutters where they want you, but you belong in the SUNSHINE! Heck, you ARE the sunshine! Shine as bright as you can baby and don't let ANYONE dim your light. You are too precious! <3 

*** Find your OWN personal identity. <3 It should make you feel like a superstar. Like you can do anything you want, be whoever you want to be and feel however you want to feel. 
>> This is a peek into the self identity I found for myself: 

Don't pay attention to all the airbrushed models because YOU are beautiful! Besides, it is NOT how you look, rather and most importantly, it is how you FEEL! <3 Your #1 goal should to always feel better than you are feeling now. Even if you are EUPHORIC! Try to feel even better than that! And surprisingly enough, if you are depressed, getting angry is better than being depressed. Being angry is one step up from being depressed -- it gets your heart rate up. Of course, I am not influencing anyone type of meanness or violence whatsoever. I'm telling you the truth. So in conclusion, focus on your health and you will be happy with the visual results you receive. ;) Focus on the FEELING and your hard work will soon start to show afterwards. <3 
If you need help with ANY area of your life I would be MORE than happy to help you. <3 My services are free of charge. :) I can help you attract what you want into your life. :) Either leave me a comment, find me on facebook, or email me at   tianah31@gmail.com :) Have a great fantabulous week! <3 xoxo 

Out with the old in with the new

I hope you are doing well and had a great weekend! Happy Monday! -- Time to get to work. :)
So for the last couple of weeks, I have been doing lots of dreaming and training myself to think in a more positive way, so I can attract what I want into my life faster and with more force. --> Law Of Attraction baby. :)  I have created multiple dream boards, a dream book, and I have spent hours and hours thinking and writing about the life I want to create and live. I have learned so much and I have much more to learn.It's exciting and liberating to know that I have all the power in the world to make my dreams become a reality.
Just as little as two months ago I ended a very horrible, toxic, addictive and abusive ( emotionally and spiritually) relationship that lasted for 2 YEARS. I healed myself and I am back to my authentic sunshine self. And within just these past 2-3 weeks, I have done so much work. Surprisingly, just ONE week ago, I have met an amazing, sweet, caring, wholesome, loving... ( I could go on forever) guy who makes me really happy. Think whatever you want, but I personally believe this wonderful miracle has happened to me because of the Law of Attraction. I created the relationship that I now currently have. I CREATED IT! Isn't that crazy- amazing?! ME! I DID IT! And you can too! (If you want to be in control of your life like how I took control of mine, I think you would find the audios I have been listening to helpful. Ask me if this interests you. I can loan them to you for FREE.)
However, often times when you get hurt, you can do all the healing and forgive all you want but the scars and memories still remain the same. The memories... the heartbreak... the betrayal... the tears.... this is what I have been struggling with as I open my heart to this wonderful man who loves me for me. <3 Have you been through a similar experience? What is one to do? The answer: Practice thankfulness. <3 It's as simple as that. Be thankful. <3 Live in the present and let go of the past. What's happening now is different from the past. If you are wise and have a good judge of character, it won't happen again. <3
This is another thing I am practicing to incorporate more into my life. I already practice the thoughts, I now just need to keep a gratitude journal because I feel that would benefit me the most. What are you thankful for? Just take 2-5 minutes of your day everyday to practice thankfulness. Say it out loud if you can. :)
Thank you for everyone who reads my blog. :) I hope this blog post has helped at least one person. If I could help one person live a happier and healthier DAY, it would bring joy and honor into my LIFE. :) Nasmaste. <3 Have a wonderful week! <3

My Apology Letter:

Okay, so I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I'm learning how to manage myself. I'm getting better I promise! My life has been very busy and I don't have much to complain about. I'm pretty happy with life right now. :) It gets better and better every day. :)
So anyway... it turns out P90x wasn't my thanggg. It's not for everyone. It wasn't my soul-mate workout. But it may be yours! Who knows. What's a soul-mate work out? Well, how do you want your soul mate to make you feel? Excited, strong, happy... You look forward to your workout out every day, exercise goes by quickly but you enjoy every minute, you feel accomplished afterward, you feel energized afterward... I definitely did not experience any of those things with P90x. I dreaded it every day. The time went by really slow and I was miserable doing the exercises. I felt completely drained and exhausted afterwards.And I got results... but they weren't that great.  So if this is you right now, you got to to try something new! Exercise does NOT have to feel this way. Trust me. I've found love and so can you! I would love to help you find your soul-mate work out. So what did this girl do, you're asking? Well, I read PUSH by Chalene Johnson (Great read by the way! I recommend you read it if you need something to simplify your life and make life easier and more enjoyable. Who doesn't want that?) and I watched some of Chalene's youtube videos. Geesh. That is one amazing, creative, smart, hilarious woman! :) I asked myself, "If I enjoy listening to Chalene, I'll probably enjoy working out with her!" So I went online and ordered her fun simple yet challenging fitness program called, ChealeanExtreme. And oh my goodness, I have never been so happy in the fitness aspect of my life! I become smaller, more compact and toned every week. I actually had no idea I could look and feel like this.I don't mean to brag. I just want you to know that exercise CAN and is SUPPOSED to be fun and enjoyable. I want you to know that you CAN have the body of your dreams. Anything and everything is possible. Never give up.

If you want help with your health and fitness I would be more than glad to help you. My services are free. Also feel free to message me at CoachTianahLynn@beachbodycoach.com or on my  facebook page :) I look forward to helping you accomplish your dreams.
Special thanks to everyone who reads my blog! :) I'll get better at posting consistently, I promise! <3

You are what you think!

Have you ever thought about your thoughts? Sounds like a silly question. But seriously, do you know how powerful your thoughts are? They are the most powerful tool you have. THE MOST POWERFUL. Your thoughts determine your personality, confidence,your emotions, your energy level(partially), your actions, how you treat others, how you react to others, what you attract to yourself... it basically determines your LIFE. It's the difference between "I can't." and I CAN."; the difference between " Not me. I couldn't do that. I couldn't be that successful, significant, talented, skillful." and "Why NOT me?" Now, I am not talking about "positive thinking". Society has sugar coated the phrase too much. This is simply thinking how you would talk to your best friend. You wouldn't tell your best friend that he/she is ugly/stupid/fat/insignicant... No. That would be awful. From this point on, I want YOU,yes YOU, to make a promise to yourself. Take a sheet of paper and a PEN... I'm waiting... Got it? Okay, good. Now I want you to write,
" I, ____(your full name name)______, promise to talk to myself kindly, lovingly, and with patience every single day. Some days will be harder than others, but I promise to try my best to treat myself with love and respect. When I think a negative thought towards myself I will write it out, scratch it out and then replace that thought with a nicer one.I will continue this process until I am cured from thinking hateful thoughts towards myself.

Love,
your best friend __(your full name)___"

I know this may seem like a lot of work and frankly it might seem silly to you. It is hard work, but is not silly one bit. If you want to improve as a person, be successful, surround yourself with better people that are like you, then you MUST start with yourself first.
I encourage you to be mindful of your thoughts for you become them and it is what you attract to yourself as well. I will elaborate on the law of attraction in the near future. I wish you happy thoughts.
Namaste. <3
