these books were some of my first introduction to the study of enlightened spiritual and conscious awareness. they are a great intro if you have been curious about these topics or philosophies but don’t know where to start! they do not singularly conform to any particular institutionalized religion, but pull from many different traditions as…
in just being in authenticity… i think something i’ve been thinking about is the conscious practice in relaxing and letting what feels natural flow– regardless of validation, regardless of reception. i think many times when we are just living, just being.. we begin to subliminally pick up on what other people’s reactions are. at least…
Sometimes I really just feel like I’m living halfway between everything. my adolescence and adulthood. but also my world. the new realm of possibility, opportunity.. and so so much more abundance then I ever could have imagined that I’ve been blessed with since this journey of bodybuilding began.

On my little walk today (where I do my deepest thinking lol!) I was thinking about self-destructive tendencies. Something I’m realizing is that 99.9% of the time, my conscious self sabotage ALWAYS comes from a fear based mindset. That little voice that says “what if you go all in on something and you fail?”— or…
