December 21, 2020 by Kimora Chanel

We all want the quickest and most effective tools to help us improve our health in any way possible. Of course, here on the blog, the main goal is to help you do so in a safe and realistic manner, so I’ve been hard at work discovering more ways how. These past couple of months I have been on a personal journey of discovering the many different ways that mindfulness can improve my overall health.

I’m talking seeing a significant improvement mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Both on the outside and on the inside.

For those of you who do not know, mindfulness is the practice of being aware. You learn how to be aware and accepting of all your emotions in a non-judgmental way. It does not matter the situation or moment at hand, you simply acknowledge your thoughts and emotions as they arise, accept them for what they are, and effectively process them.

Mindfulness by no means is an easy technique to practice! In order to be mindful, it takes a great amount of patience and dedication to the craft. Luckily there are many different ways that you can practice mindfulness and for many different reasons. Some practice mindfulness for their mental health, as a manifestation technique, and even as a meditation technique.

I’ve been practicing mindfulness as an effective tool to improve my overall health. Curious to learn what mindfulness techniques I’ve picked up along the way and how they can help improve your health? Then continue reading below because I promise these techniques will completely blow your mind! [Read more…]

How to Transform Your Mind with Mindfulness

December 7, 2020 by Kimora Chanel

The mind is such a powerful thing. You’d be surprise at how many of your thoughts get translated into actions, and how many of those actions end up having a direct impact on your life. It’s hard to think of the mind as a tool that can have such a powerful effect on so many different aspects of our life, but it does.

This is why it’s so important to be mindful of what you are feeding your mind.

You have to watch your thoughts, pay attention to the type of information you are taking in, as well as the type of information you are filtering out. Not just because your thoughts influence your actions, but also because your thoughts manifest energy into your life. You don’t want to manifest negative energy and as a result of that invite negativity into your life.

You want to manifest positive energy and invite positivity into your life. In order to do this, you have to think positively. You have to be mindful of how you exercise your brain, and what kind of information you allow your mind to consume. Only then can you truly begin to transform your mind for the better.

And you’d be surprise with how that transformation will change your life for the better.

5 Habits of Healthy Women

November 30, 2020 by Kimora Chanel

As women we all strive to be in the best shape we possibly can be. This is because we have so many different roles that we tend to take on. We’re mothers, sisters, aunts, God-mothers, workers/breadwinners, business women, and so much more. Taking on so many different roles, sometimes all at once, means that we hold ourselves to a lot of responsibilities throughout the day.

While we may make it look easy, the reality is that it’s not always easy. We have mastered juggling a ton of roles and responsibilities in various situations and on various occasions. While this is great and amazing and I believe showcases the true strength of women, it does tend to have one downfall to it.

We are always so focused on making sure that everyone we love and care about are well taken care of that we tend to forget about ourselves. We put our health, our happiness, our wants, and our needs on hold because it fulfills us so much more to care for others first.

This is one area that most of us as women are still struggling to master.

I believe this is because we tend to fail to acknowledge just how much energy, time, and commitment is required in order to not only care for multiple individuals, but ourselves as well. This causes us to prioritize the health, happiness, and sanity of others over ourselves, and by time we finally get around to checking in with us, we’ve already crashed into a wall mentally, emotionally, and physically.

So how do we avoid this? How do we still allow ourselves to be everything that our loved ones need us to be, while also showing up for ourselves just as equally? Truth be told it’s a lot harder than it may seem but there is a secret formula to doing it all.

Read on to learn about 5 of the best habits healthy women have that you need to pick up today in order to continue to be super in everything that you do. [Read more…]

Overcoming Guilt and Shame to Reach Your Goals

November 9, 2020 by Kimora Chanel

Guilt and shame tend to hold us back from achieving a lot of things in our life. It can hold us back from following our dreams, seeing a major commitment to something all the way through, from remaining consistent with our self-care and wellness routine, as well as from reaching our goals.

This is because when we make ourselves feel guilty or shameful about not doing something, we are essentially making ourselves feel as though we have done something wrong.

We often times get stuck in this rumination about that guilt or shame, and for some of us it can be hard to move past those feelings immediately. So, we end up just waiting in these negative feelings for a light to shine down on us and motivate us to get back up and try again.

But does guilt and shame affect us differently? Is it possible that we can feel guilty about not staying committed to a goal, and still be able to achieve that goal in the timeframe we originally set? Is it possible to shame ourselves about not staying committed to a goal, and still have the desire to reach it?

Believe it or not guilt and shame are one in the same. They both encompass negative emotions that are directed towards the self.

The way they differ is in how we choose to let those emotions hit us. We can shame ourselves, which is actually never a good thing to do (more on that later) and still do what we know deep down inside is the right thing to do. We can also make ourselves feel guilty about something and move on just as easily.

Guilt and shame and the connection they have to reaching your goals greatly depends on the kind of relationship you have with these two emotions. In today’s post I’m going to share with you the differences between guilt and shame, and the direct connection they have to reaching your goals. [Read more…]

Why You’re Having A Hard Time Sticking to Your Goals

November 1, 2020 by Kimora Chanel

Goals, goals, goals. I can literally talk about them all day because I believe they truly are the driving force for almost everything in our lives. They are essentially the foundation for the life that we ultimately choose to live.

If there is something, we want we make a plan about how to get it. No matter what it is if we want it, we will find a way to get it. Of course, the word “want” in this sense is a clear representation of something that we believe we need to have in order to improve ourselves or our lives in some way. Whether those wants are for improve our relationships, friendships, or careers, if we have our eye set on achieving something, we make a plan about how to get it.

This is the core of goal setting. It starts with acknowledging what it is that you want. We never set goals just for the hell of it. There is always a rhyme and reason behind our decision to go out and achieve something.

Sometimes it’s to complete a bigger picture and sometimes it’s just to fill a void in our life. You can set goals to heal from emotional baggage, to improve your health, or to even just make your life feel so much more fulfilling in some way. Whatever your reasoning may be, goals are the birth of a new chapter in our lives and it would be wise of us to plan accordingly.

But what if you’ve been setting goals, making a plan to achieve them, and for one reason or another you find it hard to see that goal through? What does it mean? Is the goal not challenging enough? Does it not hold a significant meaning to you?

It’s so easy to get stuck on the surface of what our goals are that we often forget to pay attention to all the fine details that make them important. I’ve been at this place many, many times before, and with each time I’ve learned what to do and not do in order to stick to my goals so that I can keep moving forward.

Don’t worry if you find yourself having a hard time with sticking to your goals. It’s a normal part of goal setting and achieving and it happens to the best of us. I’m going to share my top discoveries that have help me get out of my own way so that I could get right back on track with accomplishing all of my goals. [Read more…]
