Manifest Your Desired Lifestyle...

2024 is upon us, and like every new year, I feel like I AM ready. Don't I look ready doing my yoga? I live by the mantra "Stay ready so you don't have to get ready". I don't make new year's resolutions. I try to live them at all times, incorporate into my daily living. I mentally resolve my day before I get out of bed in the morning. I was affirming resolutions as I did yoga in the photo above.

The pandemic period caused us to focus on all aspects of health, with no shame or stigma. It opened the floodgates to celebrity stories of mental illness, with videos and reality shows to match. It opened up community stories of inadequate care; political stories of shenanigans and corrupt agendas. But in the midst of it all, compassion and concern were also unleashed in society. We came to realize that none of us operate in a vacuum. My issue could easily be yours; and the discovery of that can lead to connections and support that we never knew existed. We have become free to pursue our most healthy, highest and best selves with no apologies. If you need mental health therapy, go get it! If you need a gym, get at it! If you need nutrition, research and apply the learning to your life! If you want more education, grab it! (Just remember, knowledge is key not the degrees).

I've been working out all my life, but with this newfound health explosion in mind, I was open to new things. I experienced breath work therapy for the first time this year; and I began studying meditation. Both have changed my highly enjoyable and productive life for the better, so I have incorporated both into my confidence coaching practice. One of my clients remarked that I don't seem like I've changed with the breathwork and meditation. She said, "you always seem 100; I've never seen you less". I said, "sometimes in the past, it was my game-face you saw. But it's no longer my game-face; this is me 24/7, and I am 100."

Ladies, ~ free yourselves mentally and physically. Do what YOU need to do to BE your best; to FEEL your best; to produce at your HIGHEST level with no apologies. Let today, November 29th, 2023 remind you that time is ticking; it waits for no one.

Where were you last year at this time, and what have you manifested since? Do you feel well enough to take on the world? Because frankly, as women, we have to take on the world at least once or twice a week! Are you caring for yourself? Or are you caring more for others? Are you manifesting your health with nutritious food, plenty of water, exercise? Are you studying your health condition and understanding what needs to happen with your body in order to heal, so that you can manifest that healing? An excellent book on the topic is Louise Hay's "Heal Your Life".

We manifest our lives and circumstances daily, whether we realize or not. We either do it unconsciously, on remote control; or we intentionally program our brains to produce what we desire in our life on a daily basis. Whatever you deem to be your reality, will be so. If you think you are miserable and will have a horrible day, you will. If you focus on lack and insufficient means, that is what you will have in your life. If you believe that you are magnificently and wonderfully made, worthy of the abundance around us; and you focus on your desired lifestyle, you will have that in your life. If you understand the power of vibration and manifestation, it can happen more quickly.

I am very intentional now, focusing on bigger STAGES in my life; more women to COACH; bigger audiences to woo in CONCERT. I am manifesting my destiny to be what and where I choose. I have been meditating and visualizing international speaking engagements with women; expressing my gifts of healing; opening up to the universe to be fully utilized in my purpose. When Barbados called, I was ready and I was blessed with that first international speaking engagement with women, that I had been visualizing.

My corporate life has been great, but I fell into it. I am manifesting the lifestyle that I want now. 2024 will not be the year to "settle" for anything. I have been training myself to visualize and emotionally feel what I want minute to minute hour by hour. Self doubt, negative self-talk, and mindless movement are no longer allowed. When I catch myself indulging in less than positive and affirming thought, I gently release them and change course. I am setting myself up for success against my dreams and goals as opposed to another agenda. Why are other people living their dreams but some of us, are merely living?

As I take note of global chaos, I am grateful that I have some autonomy, a measure of authority, a circle of control in my life. I take stock of this country and make both my complaints and constructive criticism known; yet I realize that I am blessed beyond measure to be a U.S. citizen in this day and age. As wickedly twisted as this country is, I have been able to hustle my way up and live a decent lifestyle despite my trials and tribulations. But as much as I love the word and have lived by "hustle", I am on to the new-new. I am MANIFESTING the next adventure; the lifestyle I desire. I am ready. What are you doing in 2024? Cheers! You are worth it. THEKarenA
