The Conscious Health Hustle

“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time”

Its fun to travel and to explore and live in new places, but from my perspective we must pursue what’s in front of us, not what we can’t have or what we have lost,” this maybe suggests the idea of finding new purpose in a new location. You don’t necessarily need purpose or even a new location. It’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time because you have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.
“The place” is where we are free to make dreams come true & develop ourselves and that is not a location… The place is you!

“The environment is where we all meet; where we all have mutual interest; it’s one of the things we all share.” Earth provides enough to satisfy all of our needs, she provides us with essential resources and our basic requirements for life; these resources are vital for survival. The least we can do is protect her because without her there is no us. Everyday should be earth day cause we live on earth every single day… Let’s face it not everyone is cut out for space exploration and no matter how many earth like planets we find, there’s no place like home.

“I am timeless and formless presence”

Remain present today or take a moment to do so.
Maybe taking note of your actions and emotions as you go about your day. For most of us it’s easier said then done but mindful presence is something we can all tap into at any point in time no matter how our day is unfolding. It actually helps me the most when I’m not having a great day… it’s about acceptance and letting s**t go. When we recognize that the present is always already the cause of what ever the situation may be pleasant or not but either way inevitable, you can bring an uncompromising “yes” to it and so not only create no further unhappiness but, with inner resistance gone, find yourself empowered by life itself.

“Post Tenebras Lux”

Wow, a year since my last post. Yes, still in Montana & what a journey it has been and will continue to be for a bit. I’ve Been down, but not out. Absent from the web but never been more present. There’s been a steady ebb and flow in life out here, never perfect sometimes unsettling, but always beautiful🏔️
So here I am working my way back into my corner of the internet. Wanting to let those that care to know and might have been wondering. I’m still here literally and figuratively. I’ve been gone, but not lost. In the meantime there’s been a lot of a soul searching and taking stock of life. Trying to add to my career and acquire new skills while maintaining and building upon the ones already gained. Also growing as an individual. Life away from home (NY), family and friends has had its ups and downs, the struggle has been real, but that’s what has made me stronger and helped me learn and grow. I don’t have many things but I have tons of experiences. It takes a strong backbone to test yourself, your will, your strength and weakness, to create your own path, and pave your own way. To not stay comfortable all the time, and not be afraid to fail. I guess you can say I’ve been getting comfortable with failure hahaa… That and fear of it have prevented me from trying things or moving forward when I was younger. I’ve learned that failure is a chance to learn, failure is a chance to grow, failure is a chance to take risks, prioritize and persevere and it takes practice, but when you are not afraid of failure, when you’re not afraid of healthy risk you are free!

Happy New Year Everybody!!! Am I late to the party?
Is everyone over people saying that as much as the cool but repetitive end of year reels we all posted!? Speaking of…
Is Throwback Thursday still a thing? Well even if it’s not I’m posting this awesome throwback collaboration and moment I had with fellow yogi and awesome human I’m posting it as a reminder to myself and others the benefits of moving our body and specifically for myself the positivity yoga and benefits yoga has brought to my life since I started practicing almost 15 years ago.
Not matter how little I’ve practiced this past year (definitely spent more time teaching early on and in the kitchen towards the end of 2023) the practice is always there to ground me, bring me back into my body and remind me who I am, and how I wanna show up in the world. On or off the mat.
Here’s to a new year!! And more yoga/ physicality. To more intention setting and less resolutions. Let’s focus on our actions and mindset in the present, so that we may foster a sense of mindfulness throughout the year.

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” H.D.T

I believe that investment in travel is investment in ourselves. Buying shiny new objects is fun in the moment but materialistic things lose their luster and that excitement fades.
On the other hand experiences especially ones that allow us to travel increase happiness and facilitate connection with others. Some of my most memorable memories where strangers who have later become friends have resulted from me traveling. I continue to remember those places and people fondly walking away with a new friend or acquaintance.
We are social creatures, and meaningful interactions and relationships with others are crucial to happiness and wellbeing.
Aside from meeting new people and making connections, travel also enables you to learn about yourself, new places and cultures. I believe people travel not only to seek other places but other lives and souls.
If you’d like to travel, visit a new place and make new friends or just meet others while adventuring, come do so in community. Let me host your next travel experience. Bring who you’d like or come alone and see yourself open up like you never might of before.
Ill be providing a link in my stories as well as in my IG profile. The link will take you to a survey so that we can curate the experience and see how many of you are open and available for travel in 2024. There is no commitment to travel but I can not get an estimate, quote or any deals if I don’t know how many are interested. Thanks for reading… I hope to adventure with you soon.

In case you haven’t seen my story on FB.
I’ve been presented with an opportunity to host a trip with who ever may be interested in traveling but perhaps doesn’t like traveling alone or planning the logistics & bookings things. Finding deals on activities, a place to stay where to eat and maybe even where to go.
Through the survey we get to decide and vote on a place to go, when we go, and what that trip looks like. There’s no commitment !!
The survey in the link is merely to see how many people are interested, where the majority would like to go and what you all want that trip to look like. TROVATRIP will book and plan all the logistics accordingly and give us a certified local guide to take us around.
So if a trip has been a long time coming, you wanna travel with an old friend but don’t have time to book anything or perhaps you’ve been trying to travel but don’t wanna go alone and or you wanna meet new people here’s your chance to curate it in community with me as your host.
I said it before and I’ll say it again.
Don’t wait for anyone to do or see the places you’ve been longing to see. Life’s too short not to see the world:

Here’s that link n survey I was talking about.
