Beautiful Mind Challenge Day 27

When you surround yourself with

Positive words, people and images you can’t help but succeed. It’s almost as if you’re sabotaging yourself into success.

Making art is powerful

It’s a part of you that is visual for all to see or just you. No one has to see your creation, if you don’t want them to.

Art can be anything. A collage of words, a picture you took and printed. The goal is to allow the creative juices to flow from you.

Allow yourself the freedom of unbiased creativity.

You’re not allowed to judge or hinder the process. Have fun and comment below.

Beautiful Mind Challenge Day 26

How do you view your

* Personal Worth

* Relationships

* Finances

You can create an affirmation around each one or combine them.

The purpose

Of an affirmation is to have your words model what you desire. Research show that your mind doesn’t know the difference between reality or fantasy. All it knows is, “What you repeat through thoughts.”

What thoughts run through your mind?

You can program your mind through affirmations. It’s part of your holistic lifestyle and eventually a daily habit.

Comment your affirmations below.

Beautiful Mind Challenge Day 25

Are you a good receiver?

In other words, do you show gratitude when someone wants to reciprocate your kindness?

When you can learn from anyone

It opens up doors of opportunity. I love learning from one of my kindergarten students, “Miss Ho’o do you want to color like me?”

Learning and teaching empowers both…

The giver and the receiver. This cycle of reciprocity ensures empathy and loyalty. We become connected through our experiences and that is the power of humanity. May we never forget that, we are all human.

Beautiful Mind Challenge Day 24

Sharing something NEW creates community.

Every time you reach out or share a skill with others you’re creating community.

Even if it’s on social media.

Connections you make from sharing knowledge is extremely valuable.

Learning doesn’t have to happen in a classroom. And after covid19 we’ve all figured out that formal learning needs an overhaul. Because overnight every parent became homeschoolers. Teachers had to learn how to use the internet for teaching and grades weren’t as important.

It’s been an interesting 2020.

Sometimes we don’t realize

How talented we truly are because we’re too busy doing stuff.

For example, I’m extremely sensitive to chemicals and can’t use regular shampoos and lotions. So I started making my own at a very young age. My Mom got me a DIY book back in the 80’s and I’ve been mixing up my potions since then.

One day someone asked me,

“What do you use for your skin?” When I told her that I make my own beauty treatments she asked if I would teach her.

Think about something you do naturally, a gift or talent you can teach. Post it in the comment box.

Learning

Is the gift that keeps on giving. I believe it’s anti-aging too!

I use to be a fitness coach at an elders center and noticed something. Members who liked to read, and try new things had a better outlook on life. However their counterparts was the exact opposite. They disliked learning new things and always complained about the condition of their bodies.

Perspective is everything.

I’m sure both groups of elders go through a lot of joint pain and issues but their focus is completely different.

Those who liked to learn often seemed happier. They also seemed to age well.

Learning activates your brain in ways that benefit your entire being.

What’s even more significant is the “Why” behind the idea.

Have you ever noticed how circumstances become the catalyst of our learning experiences.

My grandmother passed away from cancer and I wanted to learn how to prevent it. The pain of loosing her became my "Why.”

So what would you like to learn and “Why?”

Actually name everything you’d like to learn.

Put it on post-its and cover a mirror. Each time you learn something, take it off.

Action is important

It’s not enough to dream or want something, you have to move towards the thing you desire.

Planning a mini-adventure is good for the soul and psyche. The sheer excitement leading to the journey boost your dopamine levels. In fact research shows that…

Experiences and travel can lower the risk of depression.

To maintain that healthy and happy feeling pick a date and make it happen.

Maybe choose a few smaller day-trips that lead to the bigger one.

Learn more about the science and research here and here.

I enjoy being a tour guide to Ohana when they visit the PNW. We have so many interesting places to visit.

Beautiful Mind Challenge Day 19

Who would you travel with?

Going on a trip with others takes a little more planning than usual. Every meal becomes a negotiation and sleeping habits can test a relationship. But sharing the experience with another person makes it memorable.

I enjoyed traveling BC (before children) however motherhood put a lot of pressure on a simple trip. I felt like I had to pack the entire kitchen. Now that they’re older I completely enjoy it! My trips would include my Kamali’i, children because I love sharing experiences with them.

Comment who your travel companions would be and why.

Beautiful Mind Challenge Day 17

Have you ever

Watched Peter Pan and thought to yourself, “One day I’m going to go on an adventure!” Then you grew up, got stuck with bills and haven’t looked at a travel magazine in ages.

I’m not talking Ohana vacations. My question is all about you, “When was the last time you went on an adventure that YOU desired?”

Personal adventures, in my opinion, are essential to having meaningful experience as a human being. It’s simply planning to go somewhere you’ve never been and create a story along the way.

That story connects you to places and eventually becomes part of the tapestry called community.

“Personal adventures are essential to having meaningful experiences as a human being.”

What’s next?

I don’t have an answer. When I started this blog on March 6, 2017 I thought I had it all figured out. Fast forward to 2020 and I’m only touching the surface. Here’s why, I create all the time and honing in on my muse can be challenging but I figured out a few things on the way. Such as…

• I’m not the only one dealing with work/life balance.

• There’s a pattern in every situation.

• The most successful people identify (the pattern) and keep it simple.

• They also innovate and modify, making that pattern unique to their vision.

• It becomes art as they orchestrate a symphony to play in harmony.

Your goals, relationships, side-hustle(s), job, business, parenting, health, etc. are all instruments in the music you make, aka LIFE. If you need some help, and it’s still 6/17/2020, I’m hosting a free Zoom vision board party called, “SIP & SOCIALIZE.” If you’re a Mermaid please check your inbox. If not join here and confirm your email.

Also this Saturday, 6/20/2020, is my WIB Mastermind group. It’s for artist, therapist, psychologist, receptionist, technologist, nutritionist, you get the jest. Anyone who gives to others and needs a safe haven to hone in on her skills, talents and gifts.

Beautiful Mind Challenge Day 16

A quick-fix to

Practically any situation is to move. You can walk, dance, workout, run or stretch. Movement is one of the quickest ways to gain new perspective and shift energy. Which is why I became a fitness coach in the first place, to shift energy.

Happily I get to

Move along with others and it’s one of my favorite things to do, with eating and teaching in my top three.

If you feel overwhelmed, heavy or unmotivated just move. You never wait to walk, you simply walk while you wait for good things to show up. I call it, “Meeting Opportunity on the daily.” Yes, I try to walk, dance or move with intention daily.

“You walk while you wait for good things to show up. It’s like meeting Opportunity on the daily.”

If you could

Sit down and have a deep conversation with someone who would it be?

Why did you choose this person?

Wisdom

Is an amazing presence and I adore hanging out with people who ooze wisdom unapologetically. Unfortunately some of my favorite conversationalist have passed but I have a process that might help you, as it did me.

My Mama taught me that Wisdom is ageless and unlimited. If I asked the right questions the answer would eventually find its way to me. Decades after her passing I’m still asking and hearing answers along the way.

Looking at

Our relationships and what they reflect was part of Day 13 and today’s prompt is going to flip the switch a little.

Have you ever wondered why they’re your friend?

Did you meet as children?

Did you share something in common?

Today’s exercise is going to be a little uncomfortable but beneficial.

Ask your closest friends

“What do you value about me?” Now if it’s a healthy relationship they should be able to tell you one thing after another. However if there’s an uncomfortable silence, well that should tell you something.

There’s a saying…

”Show me your closest friends and I’ll show you the future.” It’s pointing out that we become our surroundings and vice versa.

Have you ever felt that you’re the sane one in the group or the cheerleader? How does that feel? Tiring? Yet you put up with it because as a good friend you’re also loyal.

Maybe you’ve got the best squad around and everyone brings something of value to the table. Perhaps you prefer being alone, either way you attract what you project. The biggest question is, “Are you content with it?”

Identify

What you value and it will become a guide. So think about characteristics, ethics and personalities. Reflect on the qualities that transcend gender, race or education.

I value strong ethics and often choose my closest friends based off of these traits, Do they value time and keep their word?

As a mother of seven (7), driven entrepreneur, educator in a public school, director of a culture exchange group (on break during covid19), dog mom, creator, artist, blogger, podcaster, fitness instructor and I still make my husband’s lunches. I know what it means to be busy.

However I know what an excuse looks and sounds like. It’s hilarious to hear the reaction from groups and masterminds I participate with when they find out that I birth a waka ama (canoe racing) team. I love it. Which is why I choose not to partner with anyone who breaks their word or pelts me with excuses that sound viable but isn’t.

I value people who value time. What to you value in a friend?

Beautiful Mind Challenge Day 11

Reflect on

What you like about yourself and others will agree. If you focus on your strengths and qualities it will shine so brightly.

The opposite is also true but we don’t need to spend time on that!

Awareness is

The energy that will always, always, always work in your favor. Sure you’re around questionable people but they should never influence your personality.

Take your time

Make your favorite drink and think about all the things you like about yourself. Start listing them and don’t stop until you’ve explored every possibility. Then make copies of your list and post it everywhere. It’s important to remind yourself about your value and worth.

Your Will

Is everything and everything is hidden within your will.

Your will is an ally to intention and they work well together.

It’s important

To always do a self-check and make sure that what you do lines up with your intention because it’s a part of your will.

Number one

reason we experience burnout or lack-of-interest is because we are participating in activities that do not serve us. Maybe we had to make sacrifices for others or our career but if left unchecked it will deteriorate your mind.

This activity is meant to guide you back towards your center and connect with your will.

Remember

Who you are! Not who others say you are but who you believe yourself to be. Remember when you were little and you made your first declarative sentence, “I am ____.” Then someone chimed in and said, “No you’re not!” Well that other person was wrong.

You are whomever and whatever you say. I want you to find a place in your journal or any piece of paper and write, “I AM…”

List as many adjectives as you possibly can think of. Words that describe you and define the world you want to create.

Do not limit yourself in this exercise. Take as many pages as you need.
