Your mind makes happen what it sees.

Have you noted the focused strength of the one running in an Olympic race? See pure concentrated resolution and certainty as their stride lengthens and they speed up. See the passion!

How we think, how we talk to ourselves, the running dialogue in our minds, CREATES thinking patterns. And they will impact our moods and our anxiety levels, along with showing their mark on our body.

So healing our thoughts and our psychological wounds is essential to our wellness (physically and mentally).

Your Spirit connects you to a Higher Power, to your personal empowerment, to others, to past generations and the future of our planet. It is your connection to your Spirit that grants sanctity to everything you say and do.

Begin by re-identifying yourself. You are a radiant Spirit with a mind and a body. You are the Witness. The one observing.

Midst chaos around me, I consciously seek to become The Witness, to firmly connect with my Spirit. To rise above it all. To reach for my Higher Self...
