Today I'll be sharing parts 4 and 5 of the things I want to leave behind as we move into the new year.

Before I get started I wanted to share with you that I have probably 20 things I would like to leave behind and I will leave behind but I feel that would be too long and drawn out.

I encourage you to not have a new year resolution but to just reflect on the last year and have a plan to get closer to your goals and dreams. 

Plan is the keyword here because if you don't really know what you want and you don't have a vision or a plan to get what you want when you figure it out then you most likely won't get there.

So moving on.

The last two things I'm leaving behind are connected to each other. 

One is a hustle mentality, and the other is not making time, a lot of time for my self-care.

You see I figured out that when I take the time to treat myself well, take care of myself, I get things done quicker.

Not just quicker, but also better. I have better creativity and...

Hello Friends!

The third thing I want to leave behind as I move into the next year of my life is crappy food.

I kinda do this already, but now I'm going to take it to the next level.

I already eat a plant-based whole food diet most of the time but what I noticed is when I decide to eat something sweet or some kind of junk food it can be really crappy.

Like crappy chocolate, cookies, or chips. 

Instead, If I'm going to eat something like this I'll make sure it's the best.

The best dark chocolate, homemade cookies instead of store-bought, ect.

When you make things yourself, you know exactly what you're putting in your body.

The reason I'm doing this is I want to be in the best health, feel good, and always have my body in a place where it can heal if it needs to.

So I've decided that when I'm going to eat something, let it not just be fun and delicious, let it be a bit better, healthier, than some of the crap I put in my body.

You are either fueling your health or creating...

Hello again!

This post is part two of a series of 5 things to leave behind as we move into the new year.

The next thing on my list is hate.

Hate is such a strong and overused word. 

If you really think about it, do you really hate everything you say you hate?

There is just no room for hate right now. Most people are just too fragile, tired, and traumatized even though they don't care to admit it.

We all need a bit of patience, empathy, kindness, and compassion. 

So the next time you say you hate something give it some thought, especially if you're talking about a certain person. 

You may be frustrated, blindsided, surprised (In a bad way) but not in a state of complete hatred. 

Try to remove the focus from hate and if you can't seem to find any compassion for the person or situation, move on to bigger, better more positive things.

Life is short, I have no time for hate. 

What about you?

Xo, T

Happy Monday!

For this next week, I'll be talking bout 5 things I plan on leaving behind so that I can have an epic year in 2022.

I'll be covering one thing each day I might at some point do a live about it on Instagram. As long as I get my somewhat normal voice back. 

I've had a bit of a cold and have trouble talking without coughing.

So make sure to follow me on Instagram > @tinastinsoncoach

I am on FB but kinda want to move off of this platform but you can check it out here>> TinaStinsonWellness

 So let's get started.

The first thing I plan on leaving behind as this year comes to an end is judgment. 

Judgment of myself and also, the judgment of other people.

Yes, even people I feel I can judge. Which is basically just my opinion.

You see the one thing I've noticed is that the people of this country and even the world are completely divided right now. 

The more I look at this situation the more silly it seems. 

I truly believe...

I think daily Deep-Level Self-Care is so important.  

If you're just getting started this one thing is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety very quickly.

Gratitude. Now don’t stop reading here and say, “I know, I know.”

What I want you to consider is starting a gratitude practice this week, today, especially if you feel a little bit stressed or triggered during the holidays.

 Having a gratitude practice will automatically:

• Raise your vibe. Remember what you focus on expands. The more you focus on these feelings, the better you will feel.
• Help you see more to be grateful for, it’s...

10 Soul Aligned Deep Self-Care Practices

Start living big, with passion, propose, and impact

A lot of times when we talk about self-care we think of getting a massage, a hot bath, and having a nice warm cup of herbal tea.

These are all great self-care things to add to your life but unless you’re doing them consistently, they will only be surface-level self-care.

There is nothing wrong with surface-level self-care. It will raise your vibe and mood which is always beneficial. 

However, we want to do things that will create lasting change in order to protect our energy and create the space for the things we love.

Let us go over 10 soul-aligned deep self-care practices that will help you create the space for a life full of passion, purpose, and impact.

1. Learning the 6 types of self-care. 

• Emotional - Things that will help you process your emotions
• Physical - Things that help you improve your physical health.
• Mental -...

Step 12 - Take Action

 This is an important step for any goal you want to reach or solution you want to reach. Don't sit around and wait for things to become great, don't complain if you have a problem with no solution, make one, If you want something, go get it. No one is going to do these things for you. If you want something to happen, take action.

Recognize what is action and what is procrastination. Educating yourself more, preparing to take action is not action.

You’re never going to feel ready to start so you’ll have to just take the leap. That feeling in your stomach may feel like fear but it’s really excitement! 

Taking action before you’re ready I believe helps you reach your goals quicker. 

It kinda goes like this:

Take action, That wasn’t perfect, let me make some changes and shifts and move forward and keep trying.

So you see, you just keep learning and moving forward until you get to where you’re going! 

Action...

This week for Step 11 in the Life Purpose series we will be talking about gratitude and the benefits of having a gratitude practice.

Gratitude is scientifically proven to improve relationships, physical health, psychological health, empathy, and self-esteem. It also can reduce anger.

Let's not forget that like attracts like so it's a great place to get started when you're trying to improve your energy and vibe and the outcome of anything in your life.

When you're starting to make your daily gratitude list or journal you might be thinking, what am I grateful for? Some people struggle at first to come up with things. 

Remember to start small. Think of all those small things that are just so great. Your morning coffee, Your puppy or your cat, the sunrise, someone who made a kind remark to you the other day. These things make a big difference in our lives and it’s important to acknowledge them. 

The more we acknowledge them the more they will show up in our lives!

It is not healthy for us as humans to stand still and to be stagnant. Remember, movement is life. It's human nature to want to learn and grow throughout our entire life and this should never stop. It is your job to feed and nourish this desire and keep your mind and imagination alive. Right now, let's focus on reigniting our desire to learn new things and have fun doing them.

I once watched a Ted Talk where the guy talked about an experiment he did where he tried something new every 30 days.

I thought, that sounds like fun, I’m going to do that!

The first thing I did was start eating plant-based cold turkey! It was an amazing experience and something I had been thinking about for a while. By the way, I’m still plant-based today and it’s been around 12 years! I also coach other people who want to transition over so give me a shout-out if this is you.

Don't worry about being good at something or looking good. Right now, just focus on moving forward, learning...
