Self-awareness is the doorway to evolution. It is an ongoing pursuit that can shift more than mindsets and perception, but also our physiological and neurological functions and biology. They say that the only thing, other than opposable thumbs, that sets humans apart from the animal kingdom is that we have “self-awareness”. But by this definition, most humans are still probably closer to animals: Going through the motions, reacting to triggering external factors in automated ways predetermined by their psychological conditioning, acting on impulse instead of intuition, and operating in unawareness as the programs running their lives are controlling their perceptions of reality. Developing self-awareness gradually expands perception and can ultimately dissolve these automations and impulses so a persons True Nature can shine through. This is also how we can evolve as a species and identify which behaviors or programs need to be extinct, strengthened or altered. This is how we can train our brains, instead of defaulting to generalizations, to learn to see nuance, individualities and specifications in everything. Self-awareness takes regular work - it’s not something that we naturally have a lot of access to in today’s modern world. PS - If you think you are “already self-aware” that’s probably a big indicator that you are actually completely unaware. Because the truth is that the farther you evolve in self-awareness, the more you realize how infinite the spectrum becomes. It’s an ever-moving target. Where do you think you are on the evolution spectrum? ♾ (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW1Qx77pO0Q/?utm_medium=tumblr

There’s something missing in your Mission Statement. A lot of people tend to use “mission” and “purpose” interchangeably these days, but this is actually incorrect. Although they are intertwined, they are quite different. Defining Purpose is the most impactful step in creating the Mission and Vision for your business. • Purpose drives Mission. • Mission is the actions you take to fulfill Purpose. • Impact occurs when that mission is being accomplished. • This, in entirety is the Vision Statement. • Check out the INSIGHTS link in bio to read more!

Everything going on in our bodies is a reflection of what’s going on with the Earth. Everything going on in our healthcare system is a reflection of our food system. And vice versa. ♾ These are intertwined and parallel relationships at play. Solve for healing your own body, one individual at a time, and we can shift these massive industries. But shift the incentives of these megalith industries, and we make a massive impact on a lot of individuals. 💥 (at White Mountain National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSZ21F1l8td/?utm_medium=tumblr

Alcohol, drugs or your cell phone aren’t the only ways that addictive patterns show up in life. Sometimes and for some people it’s about uncontrollably and compulsively eating foods even when you’re full. Sometimes addiction shows up as a need for every insignificant email to be perfectly responded to before you go to bed. Or maybe, you will say or do anything to get validation from others, even if you need to lie. 𐄙・○ If you’re a human being living on planet Earth, you’ve probably experienced some level of addiction or compulsion at some point in your life that keeps you repeating the same pattern over and over again. Addiction can occur in an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, food, other people, or even exercise. It keeps you locked in a cycle that can seem impossible to break, restricting you to feeling ashamed, sick, hungover or simply depriving your ability for fulfillment. •◦・ The solution to the root of this problem is replacing the underlying feelings of lack with feelings that soothe and replace the lack. •◦・○⋆ CLICK the LINK in BIO to read about how to break compulsive behavior cycles in the INSIGHTS blog (at Sandwich, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9FnrzrV2j/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Impact & Introspection are a symbiotic relationship. If you want to maximize the impact you’ll have on the world externally, you must optimize the states that exist internally.

Seeds planted. Intentions set. Ready for BLOOM! 🌸🦋🌺 (at Sandwich, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL5F5AGjNCq/?igshid=1tdi6h5s6171u

2020 has been a doozy, right? ♡ This year has been a testament to the fact that you truly do create your own reality. All the pain and suffering and all the triumph and victories that have surfaced this year have widened the spectrum of differences in what kind of mindsets we are all maneuvering. Life is 1% what happens and 99% how you react to it after all. ♥︎ I have experienced loss of life this year like never before. Not once, but three times. Processing the death of 3 family members within a few months has been a challenge to say the least, but it has also taught me how to appreciate the short time we all have here together to fulfill a purpose, and the importance of the legacy we leave behind. There is so much gravity in creating and participating in things that will make a better world and share fulfillment with others. ♡ In a lot of ways, 2020 gave me some of the best times in my life. I experienced freedom, exploration, fulfillment and adventure like never before. ♥︎ One of the many highlights of 2020: I had the great honor of officiating my sister’s wedding in Steamboat, CO over the summer. We prepared a ceremony that was full of symbolism and involved a deeply intentional Love Potion.💕 We began with a heart-opening meditation, passed around herbs that our family members each added into the potion-pot, charged with personal wishes and positive thoughts. And then we all drank the Love Potion together, sealing in our intentions for the new couple and our newly merged family. ♡ In many ways it’s intention-setting rituals like these that can shift your mind in one direction or another, ultimately altering outcomes. Are you setting yourself up to tackle all the obstacles that life is going to throw at you next year? ♥︎ Regular practices can keep you rooted in your Purpose so securely that even 2020 can’t take you down! ♡ (at Steamboat Springs, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIqb12uDsj_/?igshid=z5j8bwhprido

Impact-Makers! Here is the secret formula for maximizing your impact on the world — It’s all about optimizing and mastering Mind • Body • Energy balance through introspection ⇢ • M I N D : Your mind creates thoughts that are essentially electrical circuits communicating with your body. Developing the ability to stabilize and harmonize brain chemicals and neurotransmitters by becoming aware of your thoughts, unlocks the potential to create your optimum state of wellness. • B O D Y : Your body’s cells and organs are in constant communication with each other through chemical messengers called hormones. Hormones are also responsible for creating emotions. Balancing the hormonal (endocrine) system with an understanding of processing the body’s feelings allows all the functions of the body to operate at peak performance levels. • E N E R G Y : The most misunderstood concept in this crucial formula is Energy: Everything from the nucleus of an atom in a molecule, to the sun, moon and planets, and everything in between is emitting electro-magnetic frequencies. These energy currents are what tell birds to fly south for the winter, what attracts bees to pollen-filled flowers, and also what would allow humans to understand their unique and invaluable purpose in the world. This is essentially your intuition. However most humans are unable to properly nor clearly connect to this energetic signal because your MIND and BODY are not functioning well and you are getting the signals crossed. Mixing up intellect, emotions and intuition is a common and detrimental human malfunction. Getting the mind and body in flow are key to being able to plug into your purpose—the intuitive energy signal. • Learn to calm your mind, balance your body, and plug into your energy - this introspective work makes you the most impactful leader you have the potential to be. 💥 • CLICK the LINK in BIO for more INSIGHTS 💡 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFcQfWijXZZ/?igshid=eelzh5vrt0d3

When you’re living in the void: unmotivated, bored, comfortable and empty... follow your FEAR. ➝⠀ Doing the thing that scares you the most is the secret doorway to the most exhilarating life possible.⠀ Once you’re doing the thing that scares you, you have two choices: allow the fear to take you down, OR transmute the fear so it no longer holds its power. ⠀ Transmuting fear into power is an incredibly rewarding process that can be achieved through deep introspective techniques and subconscious reprogramming.⠀ ➝ This is alchemy.⠀ ➝ This is the “magic” that creates fulfillment.⠀ ➝ This is how you achieve the life you always wanted.⠀ ⠀ ☝︎ (at Life) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDPMzHZDGwm/?igshid=134bm7tepqcla

Truth is always a product of vantage point. Two opposing arguments can both be true when viewed from their respective angles. And a higher perspective that accounts for all individual vantage points can appreciate that. ⋆⋆∙•・ If we would make the effort to consider each other’s different vantage points, we would see that the “incomprehensible opinions” of others are maybe a little easier to understand. Arguing perspectives as right or wrong is not the solution and will never make progress. Education, fostering emotional intelligence, open-mindedness and the ability to listen to others are the tools to use to expand to higher perspectives. ⋆∙ •◦・⋆ Albert Einstein said “the most important decision you will ever make is whether you live in a hostile universe or friendly universe. Perspective is everything.” ⋆⋆∙•・ Let’s choose to work to the highest one. ○⡑⋆𐄙◦∙ ⢊●⋆∙⢓𐄙•⋆ (at The Universe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCRRtANDN16/?igshid=qqz34tv7ea4w

Avoidance of pain and pursuit of pleasure takes you farther away from sustainable fulfillment. ○◦ To truly create fulfillment longevity, you must have the courage to dig inwardly — through your pain, identifying and unraveling subconscious conditionings, processing unresolved baggage, and removing mindset obstacles you were previously unaware of... until eventually, you find yourself in a state of complete fulfillment. Some people call it “living in flow” or “being aligned in purpose”. I just know it feels exhilarating, everyday, no matter what is going on around me. ●○∙◦・ And once pain begins dissolving, fulfillment GROWS. Fulfillment attracts the opportunities, abundances, relationships to you that you could probably only dream of once upon a time. ∙○•◦●・ Freudian Psychoanalysis describes the pursuits of pleasure and avoidance of pain as the animalistic and instinctive “Pleasure Principle”. This is likely what has allowed the human animal to have survived in the wild as long as it has. But we, in the modernized world, are far beyond any need for basic survival mode now. Our level of awareness needs a massive UPGRADE from these animalistic states of consciousness. And the only way up is IN. ●◦・ (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMP2aVDhgf/?igshid=1ipmskof5t8vc

Unconventional secrets of success shared by Karan Rai, Founder & CEO of Asgard Partners at Advertising Week last fall:⠀ ▿⠀ “Tuesday mornings, we have an hour we put aside. No business gets done. We go through a gratitude practice. It takes 15-20 minutes for our executive team. Then we have our ten founding truths. Not just stuff that’s internal, it’s what we believe as a firm - who we are as human beings, and it’s on our website. We pick one and say do we still believe it? Are we living up to it? I call that “re-energizing our ethos.”⠀ Then one of our execs will stand up and actually speak out their [personal] ethos. That’s freaking powerful. You’re standing there and being vulnerable enough to say this is who I am when I’m being my best version of myself.⠀ We actually get to see each other as we are and hold each other accountable. ⠀ So that’s just a system we have in place.⠀ I think the reason we’ve been so successful — the people who run my companies, you have to be somebody who’s willing to engage in this kind of practice.”⠀ ▵⠀ (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJ6PvUjRLr/?igshid=1bf6j9yb1bubv

One promising prospect of these times is that businesses and business people are beginning to realize that “work-life balance” is NOT a spectrum, nor are work and life mutually exclusive from each other. ●◦• ∙○ The truth is that when you are clear and connected to your life’s purpose, work is just an expression of that purpose. Work is an important, challenging, fulfilling part of life. ○ ● •◦∙ For many impact-entrepreneurs living their purpose, the struggle becomes balancing work, wellness and leisure in amounts that feel optimal. Because these balanced scales can fluctuate and vary between different people and through various phases of a lifetime, it’s important to listen to yourself, trust your body and introspect regularly. ● • ◦• ∙○ (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA315c1jbes/?igshid=ojjk93aeyptt

Your connection between mind & body has never been more important to your business.
