4 trash bags of stuff to toss in the dumpster, 3 bags of stuff to donate, and 1 bag of stuff to sell.... and I am feeling LIGHTER already! 😍🙌🏼✨ I've spent the bulk of today LETTING GO. Cleared out my entire wardrobe (and still have room to clear more🙈)... and cleared out our living room from all the built up bins of "odds and ends" that serve no real purpose. 😐 is it just me or is it just weird that we BUY storage containers to store MORE stuff we buy? Too. Much. Stuff. Is the problem, not not enough room. ☝🏼 I'll be the first to admit, I am someone who gets super attached to STUFF. I tend to attach my memories to things, and hold onto items simply for sentimental value.👙👗👠 "Oh, I wore this on our date in Chicago, can't get rid of that." "Oh, I picked up this rock while we were hiking in the falls, can't get rid of that". 🙄🙄 haha! Seriously, moving into a more minimalist route for 2017 is teaching me so so much already. For one, I am not my possessions. And my memories still live on regardless if I have an item or not. For two, I now am freeing up soooo much more space to make many new memories by letting go of all this old shit. 🙏🏼 You know all those things you are holding onto? If it doesn't add to your life, if something serves no purpose but to take up space and collect dust, it's time to let gooo. Especially if you're currently feeling overwhelmed, suffocated, unfulfilled, or stuck, the simple act of releasing that which doesn't serve can do miracles in opening those doors to let what you DO want to come in. 🍃🌿 if you're feeling pulled to make ROOM in your life ... so maybe you can actually have the space to do the things you WANT to do, go after the dreams and wild ideas you have been feeling called to do.... Keep an eye out for the minimalist challenge I'll be launching next week!! Pumpeddddd for this! 🙌🏼 What could you let go of today?!

A little #selflovesunday reminder:::: Girls, romanticize the hell out of yo'selves. 👌🏼 You are a queen👸🏻, a warrior, a goddess.... You are the BOSS of your life. 👊🏼 You are all of these hinge, and MORE. You're the stuff that fairytales are made of, so don't you forget it, ❤️ and don't you let anyone or anything get in the way of allowing you to s h i n e like the crazy gorgeous light I know you are. ✨ Don't shrink to fit other people's standards. Don't play small for the sake of keeping other people happy. And don't dim your power out of fear of finding out just how exceptional you truly are. Speak and live your truth relentlessly. Hiding your authenticity keeps you in perfectionism mode. But news flash: you're good enough as is. so fu*king OWN IT. Xoxo 👊🏼✌🏼💋

14 degree weather didn't stop me from getting outside and playing in the snow ❄️⛄️☀️. What a gorgeous day it is here in #ohio , even if it is coldddd! There is something really fulfilling in pushing yourself in extreme temps or under pressure conditions ... I don't know about you but I personally love for anything that pushes me out of my normal bubble. A good challenge is where it's AT you guys! You'll find out soooooo much about yourself when you actually do things that freak you out a bit 😜🤡. Outdoor yoga wire my hands in the snow, slipping all over the place while trying to find my balance... check ✔️ that off as one of my weekly "do something new" bucket list goals. 😌 What will you do this weekend that will challenge your norm!? Share below, I wanna know!!!

Be easy on yourself. Do not rush to write down half hearted resolutions and forced accelerated change for your life. To resolve means to find a solution to a problem. You are not a problem. The way you've shown up this past year was necessary for your growth to happen. Now is the time to pause. To reflect and learn. To let go. To create an intention. A positive call to shift, rooted in self love and backed iby the ACTION. 👊🏼🌿🍃 (thanks to @iamhertribe for the always empowering words of truth) . . Ahhhh yessss you guys! Saturday mornings are the BEST. Over here, it IS that time of pause, reflection, setting intentions and getting that plan of ACTION set in stone. We don't have to wait until the new year to do this stuff... we can start EACH day with the mindset of "today is my new year". Having this weekly ritual in my life of reflection and recharging has helped me achieve sooo many more goals and stay on course with the self growth path I want to be on. If you're feeling off your path, maybe it's time to start working a daily/weekly/or monthly joy route plan to help you get where YOU want to be, yeah?! ☺️ If you need help with the HOW Of achieving those awesomeeeee dreams and bigggg ideas floating in your head, I'd love to be that girl to help you. ✨💫 Www.awakeoursoulwellness.com or dm me and let's get to work on building that exceptional life, loves! Xoxoxo happy saturdayyyyy!! (@thedragontree)

A good little reminder: Surrendering is where your strength is. Let go and watch your desires flowwwww, babes. When we have to force it or push it, it's time to leave it. 🍃 Come from a place of inspired action rather than "have to" action ... and watch your abundance lights turn ON. ✨🌿 #fridayflow

Some #flashbackfriday ✨🌊 vibes rolling around over here today!! So, I've been venturing into a new personal life project that I'm pretty pumpedddd about... it's something I've been feeling more & more pulled to bring into my life and after watching the @theminimalists documentary I now know it shouldn't just be a calling , but should be a new project I fully immerse myself in. I feel really blessed to have the people in my life that I do.... the relationships, bonds, experiences, memories. I want to pour MORE into those... build new memories, deeper roots. As I was looking thru photos from our time spent in the Virgin Islands, it came SO crystal clear that this gear needs to be dedicated to spending time energy and resources on making MORE good memories like that... and helping other people follow their joy route, too. 💫 So often we get so distracted by how much money we make, how many fancy material items we possess, how much STUFF we can take up space with ... that we forget that ALL we ever could need can be found in what we DO and who we do it with. 👭👫 When I go tommy grave, I want to take a lifetime of incredible experiences and a legacy that which I am soooo proud of... because let's be real: we aren't going to be thinking about bringing our cars, homes, name brand items, etc with us. 💰👗👜🚗🏡 So here's my official public announcement that this girl is moving into minimalist-ing the F out of her life, so to make rooooom and more space to fill with service toward helping others and making unforgettable memories. 💕✨ Anyone else feeling pulled to reduce, eliminate, and cut BACK in their lives too? If so, I'd love to do this together!! Maybe even run a little "minimalism challenge" or something. If you're interested, drop me a message or comment belowwww! #fridayvibes #minimalism

Yesssssssssss. 🙌🏼💯👌🏼 So, I put it out there earlier that I was curious as to what everyone feels like is their THING that stops you from showing up to your goals. ☹️ Guess what the ongoing theme in response was?! Well, the only four letter word I avoid like the plague: FEAR. Fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, fear of messing up. If you want more talk on fear and how you can truly break FREEEEEE from it, head on over to fb and view the live video discussion I did today on it (Facebook.com/nataliejbrite) ... but what I'll leave you with is this: the ONLY way you ever fail is if you do nothing. Doing nothing is worse than any mess up, and mishap, and any amount of falling flat on your face. Actual failure does. not. exist. All you get are little lessons, you guys. Lessons that can be THE stuff that teaches you how to grow more and more into the person you & I both know you were MEANT to be. ❤️ Before we became a hugely techie savvy, fancy human race... we had the feeling of failure developed in us to quite literally protect us from REAL danger ... you know, the actual life threatening stuff!? But now, here we sit wayyyy better off, and not having to endure much of the life threats that we had back in the day. But, that fear feeling is still there. We've just now that it sabotage us, and trick us into believing that we are indeed in danger... when in actuality, we aren't! 😏 So, what can you do?! See that your fears are false! See that your fears are there because you ARE capable of what you seek. And see that your fears are catapulting you into the unknown, the new, the foreign. That's not a bad thing, that's where we GROW and expand.🙌🏼💕 Go face those fears head on, babes. The more you do, the easier and more ok you get, and the more FREEDOM you gain. Break the ties which bind. 👊🏼✌🏼💋

By a show of comments ✋🏼💬 (i.e. Leave a comment below!) ... Here's your chance to be brutally honest ... What gets in your way of you showing up to your goals?

[nataliebritefitness]

The dance you do when you find out you're relieved of having to be stuck on jury duty for 3️⃣ months!!💃🙏🏼🙌🏼 I spent the morning in court... to find out that not only am I going to have to be a juror, but I was being assigned to a case that was going to take up the span of three months. 🙄😳 Luckily, after talking with the judge, I was able to get a pass and removal becauseeeeee I'm self employed 👌🏼. As if unneeded to add to my already long list of why it rulessss to be your own boss, it's atleast nice to know bat that freedom also grants you excusal of jury duty as needed. Hallelujah! Now I can spend my day cozied up at home, working like a #BOSS while watching the pretty snow ❄️ fall outside. #thankfulthursday

Brought the yoga practice outdoors today, even amidst having 20 degree weather here in #ohio ⛄️ I can't wait until spring gets here you guysssss... I'm so ready to start running and outdoor adventuring! Anyone else get like that?! That crazy itch to just be outside, grounded, surrounded by earth ... instead of trapped indoors. 😒 But for now, it'll have to be kept short and sweet so not to freeze hehe. Oh and during recording for this photo, my phone fell and cracked the top of the screen. 😜😆 First time for everything! Now I'm ending the day watching the Minimalist documentary on Netflix (have you seeeeen it !?!) while redesigning my website.... perfect way to end the day! 💕nighty night!

[nataliebritefitness]

I had sometime tell me "oh, you look so nice today!" And I, after thanking them, said "well, I work from home so I force myself to make myself presentable... otherwise I'd probably never shower or change clothes. 😂😆 Little did that know.... I actually did indeed still have on half of what I slept in hehe. 🙃Current winter fashion obsessions that keep you comfy but still COoL😎: super fun sunglasses & wild printed scarves. 🙃 My winter wardrobe tends to be yoga pants (sometimes doubled up if it's a reallyyyyyy cold day), high knee socks, hoodies and old man sweaters, beanies and scarves. 🤘🏼But who am I kidding, that wardrobe is kinda an all around thing hehe. What about you guys, what are some go to accessories or gear during the winter months?! #ootd

A little #wellnesswednesday REALTALK 💭 .... Call me crazy, but isn't health and wellness about actually focusing ON realistic healthy lifestyle practices ... and optimal wellness routines?! I'm not quite sure where we got it so wrong ... but personally, I think all these quick fix gimmicks and insane beauty standards are playing such a bad role on women's empowerment & self love. Do you agree?! I don't mean to offend or piss anyone off, but I felt the need to speak my mind on this. Especially since I work with women daily on redefining their selflove and selfcare, and help females build confidence and systems for creating a fulfilled life of JOY..... it can be uberrrr frustrating when we allow the pressure and obsession with body size, weight, shape, perfect skin, perfect abs, perfect eating plans, and perfect workout regimes to cloud us from being able to see that it's NOT even about that stuff. You will never love yourself, and pull have a heck of a time building a healthy LIFESTYLE, if you focus on surface level aesthetics. 😣😑 Wqnt to learn how to lead a healthy and thriving way of life? Drop the media claims, kick the fancy gimmick weight loss tricks to the curb, grab some SUPPORT from other likeminds who can HELP you thrive, and get to work on building your self value and love accounts. But, what do I know, hehe. Just my two cents. 💋✌🏼 Happy #womensupportingwomen Wednesday!

Fact: you can, indeed, be a health nut & eat the heck out of some ice cream, too. 🙃🎂🙌🏼 . Anyone else try this flavor before? Soooo spot on. 👌🏼

Ladies, You can be soft AND fierce. You can be kind AND firm. You can be compassionate AND stand your ground. You can be flexible and open AND say No. . Something that I hear a lot from people is that they struggle with saying No. we all do it- we trade our time, our money, our resources, our energy for stuff because we are scared to just say No. have you been there? Are you there now? This was my greatest lesson of 2016: learning how to stand firmly in my space, and say No as needed. 👌🏼 And my gawddddd does it feel GOOD to say No! As a perpetual people pleaser ✋🏼, as a women who makes a living helping other women live out their core dreams and achieve life goals, and as someone who LOVES to give and be of service.... sometimes those qualities can work against us if we don't learn how to put our hands up and put on our own oxygen masks FIRST. ☝🏼 It's not selfish, it's not bossy, it's not mean to say No And draw the line, girlfriends. Setting boundaries isn't a power struggle or an attempt to control others. Saying No is a way to put yourself at the top of the priority list, right where you should be, so you can then show others how to do so too. 👊🏼 What do you need to start saying No to?

My top spiritual tonics to help you live a badass life:::::::: . . . 1. Stop worrying, worry kills inspiration and creative flow. 2. Start each day with a powerful mantra that gives you goosebumps to speak out loud. It'll be your armor protecting you from negativity. 3. Stay in balance with your life priorities. Over indulging in one over another just clogs your mind & life-force. 4. Don't envy and accept your limitations. Striving for perfection or craving what other people have wastes time and energy. 5. Have faith in people and lead with compassion. 6. Our yourself into your hobbies and passions, it'll ease nerves and reduce stress. 7. Feed your mind with new knowledge and ways of thinking, it'll help stimulate views and broaden imagination. 8. Get comfortable with being alone, and love being with yourself. If you can't love your own solitude and silence, it'll block your ability to give love in return. 9. Be grateful for what you have, instead of spending all your time trying to just get what you want. 10. Believe in your ability to do that which you think you cannot do. Trust in your vision for what has not yet developed is what will help you manifest. ❤️ . . . Happy Tuesday! 💋
