Day 300| Emotions got the best of me today when I stopped my racing brain for a second, shut my phone off, realized that the only way to be truly happy is to be present, and put it into action. There is no, I repeat no outside source (job, money, technology, clothing, etc.) that can bring you the long-term happiness the way that stopping and being present can. Outside sources come AFTER connection. Connection is the sunlight, we are the trees. When you're connected, you radiate throughout all you do. . . . . . #mmxiv #openheart #openmind #burntoshine #journeytothestronger #breathe #inhaleintention #exhaleexpectation #fall #nyc #soho (for you @cecperez & @amandamuuueller 😉)

Day 298| After what was an abrupt start to the day, I'm so happy to get to sit down and align since it didn't get to happen in the morning when it usually does. I've also come to realize that my body was trying to tell me something--slow down and breathe. I slept through my alarm because I've finally gotten some clarity on things I've been waiting for. Everything inside of my subconscious just released and created some room for my body to slow down. I'm grateful that it happened the way it did.

Day 297| If you know me, you know that books like this are my jam. After a few recommendations to read this, I finally bought it and it's already hilariously insightful and enlightening. I might start my own book club based around books like this. Who's in? Happy Friday, friends- we made it. . . . . #mmxiv #openmind #openheart #journeytothestronger #youareabadass #inspiration #burntoshine #nyc #opportunity #possibility #inhaleintention #exhaleexpectation (at Hamilton Heights, Manhattan)

Day 272| Taking this morning to breathe, quiet my mind, and take some time for myself. It's all about the balance and that is this week's focus. Balance in work, fun, and rest. We owe it to ourselves. ♎️ . . . #mmxiv #openmind #openheart #balance #burntoshine #work #fun #rest #nyc #uws #beyou #behappy #soulcycle #inhaleintention #exhaleexpectation (at SoulCycle W 77th)

Day 248| Sorry for the #selfie, but I'm feeling connected today. Connected to myself and to things outside of myself. Some intentions I set for the week are to connect and then to ultimately challenge myself. Today was the first day in a while where my alarm woke me up before I woke it up, so yesterday kicked my butt! As a way to challenge today, I decided last minute to go to my old favorite, @soulcycle before work. It's going to be a challenge because these eyes aren't fully opened just yet, but we'll make it work.

Day 246| As my one-year mark in NYC is slowly approaching, I can't help by look at this little book. This book has a little over a years worth of writing that ranges from struggle, realizations, successs, development, pep talks, reassurance, love, confusion, questions, goals, shortcomings, opportunities, gratitude, crisis, and so much more. I'm thankful for this little book. I started it to document these times so that when I encounter similar situations, I have something to go back to. Something to make me feel like "You've done this before and it's all going to be okay". And you know what? It's always going to be okay. . . . #MMXVI #openheart #openmind #nyc #trustthejourney #journeytothestronger #inhaleintention #exhaleexpectation #youareenough #moleskine (at New York, New York)

Day 244| I've been searching for words all day today. I don't quite know what it is, or why it is, but I needed words and I couldn't find them. After a wonderful talk with @cecperez today, I started to find some clarity. I scroll through Instagram and I find the words I've been looking for and my heart smiled with hope, love, astonishment, and peace. The words are there- you just have to be patient and let them come to you. Everything in its time. . . . . #MMXVI #openheart #openmind #nyc #journeytothestronger #beyou #behappy #inspiration #inhaleintention exhaleexpectation #patience #trustthejourney #youareenough #strength #manicmonday (at New York, New York)
