GENIUS IN BOTTLE!

Okay. I have a challenging job. I teach people how to move, in hopes that they will live a freer, happier and healthier life. I teach mind, body, soul connection using modern music and movement. I have hundreds of thousands of people that have studied with me. It's fun, challenging, and a great workout. 

To live happy, healthy and free is about having fun and being aware. My clients ask me for suggestions of what to drink. I tell them don't drink calories, stay away from juices and sugars. My go-to drink has always been sparkling water, fresh squeezed lime juice and vodka. Low in calories, no artificial sugars, and very refreshing. Skimping out on sugars relieves you of hangovers and calories. Fresh squeezed lime juice and lemon juice offer a great taste with no calories or sugars. Fresh lemon and lime are great for digestion. Going out and having fun is essential to living a happier and healthier life. Restriction is never a good idea - it deprives you of joy and doesn't make you feel free. I never wanted my clients to feel deprived or unable to go out and socialize. We dance and workout all day, and should be able to celebrate and have a fun time without feeling guilty.

I have been doing this for years- on global world tours with Madonna, dancing with Shakira, dancing on Broadway, training hard being as healthy as I can, but also having a good time. 

A couple of months ago, White Claw (whiteclaw.com) contacted me and told me about their product. I couldn't believe how genius it was and that it was a great version of my "go-to" drink - seltzer, a bit of vodka and a fruit flavor in a can! Low in calories and no after taste. I was amazed. I really liked the convenience of it because when we make ourselves a drink we need a lot of ingredients on hand - but this is so easy. I think everything should be done with intention and drinking responsibly is important. Drinking is a celebration and a way to bring people together. Having White Claw around makes it super fun, easy and convenient. Finally they have made a "go-to" drink with all of my needs throughout! I highly recommend this drink for people who want to have a good time, drink responsibly, all natural and great tasking, and love to work out but also have fun too!!

My claws come out for White Claw. :)

Being Unhappy Allows You to Live a Life you Desire

I often ask myself, "Am I living a life I desire?"

At times its "YES": those moments that are high, exciting, full of energy, and light.  You know those moments, where time stops, and your favorite song is playing, and you are so high on serotonin that you can't even realize that this is your life?!

And then there are the quiet times, when I'm alone: on the plane, in my hotel room, in my apartment, or writing in my journal... and the answer sometimes is "no".  Usually, when change has or is occurring, a challenge arises, I'm looking at my body in the mirror, after a late night room service order (ah-em), or something I wanted to happen so badly, doesn't.

I can't solve a problem of the mind, with the mind.  I ask myself, "What is it that I am unhappy with?  Why in this moment, am I upset, or being challenged?"  Then I turn to my Spirit Guide.  She is light, free, effervescent, and a go-getter.  She accepts any challenge, and turns mud into gold.  She is an alchemist and a sexy, intelligent goddess that guides me on every step of my journey.

In moments where I might not be enjoying a life I desire, or where I might be unhappy, my spirit is showing me who I am!  She is giving me life experiences that teach me where to move, what to do, and where to go.  

These unhappy moments are needed to show us the way.  They are in our lives to show us what little changes we can make to live a life we desire.  It takes some time to know how we feel, what is causing it, and what changes we want to make.  So be patient.  Making changes is not easy, because we are creatures of habit.  What we continue to do for long periods of time is comfortable and familiar to us. Of course it will be difficult to change things!  Imagine one day someone telling you that eating soup with a spoon was wrong, and you now had to train yourself to eat soup with a fork!

Difficult situations are golden ways your Spirit can show you who you are.  

Things don't always go as planned.  You know they say "You plan your life, and God laughs." There is something greater than you and I that is in control.  And it is our ability to connect with this higher source, that allows us a life of trust, freedom, and faith.  If we can step outside ourselves for moments at a time, and take a look at ourselves from another's perspective, maybe we can be a bit more easy on ourselves.  

Embrace unhappy moments.  Be unhappy sometimes!  It's healthy and part of being human.  It is allowing us to adapt and move with the flow of life.  What does it mean to adapt?  Being adaptable is the ability to adjust to new conditions.  According to Charles Darwin:

"it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself."

I find myself in the Happiest of moments and in the Unhappiest of moments --that's what makes me whole.  Check the Method.

Love,
