Kiki's Fourth Cycle

The Summer Mood Challenge came and went. It became a thought transformation period. 

I  regained trust in my abilities to go beyond my secure circle. The lack of balance from vertigo is no longer an obstacle instead it is something I work with. 

I do as much as I can do. I give each day my best. 

There is no real approach. There is no fast lane. There is no contest. 

There is me living life. I live inspired about the day. 

I live inspired by the people who provoke love and joy. So I continue.

There is much more of me to give. I do not to hold back based on what occurred in the past. 

I  do not stop if today did not go as planned. 

Instead I focus on spreading my wings wider. Of being present to the feeling of freedom.

So I walk on my path. Feeling joyful as I enter a new era, the era of my 39th birth year.

 My fourth life cycle according to indigenous traditions. 

I honor my ancestors and my being by taking care of my health; physical, mental and spiritual.

Living Kiki's Journey.

SUMMER MOOD CHALLENGE

WHAT IS THE SUMMER MOOD CHALLENGE?

The SUMMER MOOD CHALLENGE is a week-by-week program for physical activity 

and positive habitual changes in nutrition. The small weekly changes lead to consistency and maintain motivation. The small achievable goals will, with time, 

help individuals adapt to a healthy active lifestyle. 

The SUMMER MOOD CHALLENGE started on 06/12 and is designed as a 12-week program. 

Individuals are encouraged to complete as many as the suggested activities/exercises.

I have some SURPRISES, GIVEAWAYS and SPECIALS for 

people who start to engage and share their progress on my IG @kikiworks_2werkit.

HOW ARE YOU TRACKING WHAT WE DO?

Checking in daily would be optimal but we each get busy with routines. Your results will

start to show as the SUMMER MOOD CHALLENGE progresses. 

Share with the GROUP via IG as you put in work for the CHALLENGE. 

Encourage one another with before and afters.

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO?

1. Share your pictures, your progress and #SUMMERMOODCHALLENGE

2. Practice healthy eating. This could include half-portions, no sodas, no dessert, 

balanced portions, and/or clean eating. 

3. Follow the activity posts each week. If you want to do more, go ahead but remember

the point is to build consistency not to burn out and stop.

HOW ARE YOU MEASURING RESULTS?

You will be measuring your own results. You can use various methods but be sure to record them. 

They could be size in clothing, measurements, pounds, activity you are able to do vs. one you couldn't complete. 

WHY ARE YOU DOING IT?

I am building. I was operating at a high level of activity and I was enjoying myself 

tremendously. Mainly because I was able to go places and do things without constantly feeling

tired. I am working towards that level of activity again. I know that will take some work. 

My payoff will be to climb the ruin pictured above in COBA for my birthday in October.

Here's to LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST.

Quality

I've been reaching out to friends more. I start to text or call instead of scrolling through IG and FB. It has brought higher quality relationships my way. It inspires me to know I am surrounded by great people.

Go share yourself with those you love this weekend. Make them remember why they are so special to you.

Have a great weekend and be lovely!

Namaste.

Present

Being present without attachments.  How is that possible when we form ideas as we are living each moment? Practice. Everything is possible with practice.

I've been practicing meditation continuously since I've been off social media. I've been living each day with intention of creating happiness in each moment. This includes happiness for others.

What has transpired is magical. I'm in good spirits and this last week was the first week in a long time that I made it through the week with no sick days. Soon I will be saying, what vertigo?

I'm present to feeling good, being healthy and creating joy. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your moments.

Namaste.

Current Mood

Motivational Monday

I was sitting on my back deck contemplating life and my Bugambilias 

You see from the the moment the Bugambilias were planted I started to treat them differently. 

I named them, on the left is Ms. Beauty Queen herself that was to perfect for Ms. Rebel on the Right. 

Back then Ms. Beauty Queen flowed with grace up the wall and her flowers covered the view. 

Ms. Rebel, well she was just doing in her own thing. She fell to the side and her branches were dry.

I babied her and talked to her trying to make her see her own beauty. 

I would say, "yes you're a late bloomer  but don't you worry you will see your beauty at your own time". Meanwhile, Ms. Beauty Queen got nothing or the occasional, "why you gotta be so perfect?"

Anyhoot, with time their appearance changed and now it is clear the roles have switched.

 I feel responsible for not spreading my love equally. 

I treated one with special care and attention; 

while leaving the other completely unattended relying on it's own ability to grow beautifully. 

As I sat contemplating the role switch, and life in general, I was grateful for the lesson. 

For there is great importance in being able to treat all areas of life, all people, and living things 

with the out most respect and love. Yes this includes all areas of your self. Myself.

So this week as you set your goal list be sure to include patience and love for yourself.

As will I.

 Have a great week and remember there is much great love for you here. 

Namaste.

DHARMA

The time I spend checking my various social media accounts will be spent in meditation. There are several reasons like photophobia (light sensitivity) and to gain focus of my purpose. 

My intent has always been to motivate and encourage others to reach the best versions of themselves which is why I will continue to share in this format.

I remain coachable to life's lessons and invite you to create intent around what thrills you. Have a wonderful Friday.

Namaste.
