Surrender What You Can Control
The serenity prayer truly demonstrates the meaning of what it takes to surrender.
It is such a simple, yet powerful prayer that is often used to provoke the message that the only thing we really can control is ourselves. It has taken me years (I still struggle) to accept this. By practicing compassion, love, and stillness you slowly start to surrender more of your ego and begin to focus on the truest part of yourself.
I work with children on a daily basis and the message I am constantly instilling in them is to cultivate inner stillness and inner peace now, so that by the time they are adults they will recognize that although life can be challenging and sometimes unfair, you will always have that safe, still place from within. No one can take this away from you! I express that by accepting the things you can control, you begin to make more space for your own life.
Some of the things we can control are:
-How we treat ourselves
-How we treat others, the earth and animals
It’s truly as simple as that. Acceptance also plays a huge part in this as well. Knowing that I cannot control others and their actions requires a real sense of surrender.
If you love and nurture this space from within it has the potential to grow bigger and brighter, creating room for more happiness and inner peace.

Motivational Monday: Start each day off right
How we begin our day can have major effects on us and our reactions throughout the day. Start off each day with a morning routine that suits you. Let love, inner peace, joy, clarity, and happiness be the fuel for this. It could be as simple as sitting on your yoga mat for 5 minutes to walking your pup around the block, to dancing to your favorite song.
Customize this practice to what make you FEEL the most connected and joyful. When we focus on how we want to feel the universe is happy to help!
What are some ways you start your day off right?

Motivational Mondays: Looking for the good
“I believe in angels something good in everything I see”. This is one of my favorite lines from a song by ABBA. Every time I hear those lyrics I choke up a little. It perfectly describes the process of when we have our heart opened to possibilities of being unconditional with our love for all, miracles will occur. So today I challenge you to take a look around and look for the something good in everyone and everything. Be earth angels to all that exists on this planet. Notice how that makes you feel!
