I attended an amazing event tonight. At the Cents of Style headquarters, it was a beautiful sunny day. #breakitdown I didn't realize how spiritual and emotional it was going to be. Courtney Brown, CEO of COS is an incredible woman. She told her beautiful, deeply touching experience with her wall of "unworthiness." She related how she felt like no matter what she did, how hard she worked or accomplished she never felt like "enough." What a hugely common (unfortunately) experience. I think we all feel that to some degree every day. It's a fight to keep it at bay. It leads back to fear. What I loved most was her reminder that the same thinking that created those barriers is the same that can conquer them because THEY ARE NOT REAL. It reminded me of so many times Wayne Dyer talks about how powerful our minds are. They truly control how we experience everything in life. Our mental game is as important as our physical health. We each wrote down our walls then ripped them up! A much needed exercise. And Courtney, man, what a sweet woman and a kindred spirit. 

Next was the ever fabulous Alison Faulkner of "The Alison Show." The woman is amazing. She has this resounding and almost tangible confidence and presence. She talked about building. What am I building? One of the first things we commonly ask ourselves when we begin dreaming is "what gives me the right?" She said the GREATEST secret to "I'm not enough" is "IF  YOU FEEL CALLED TO DO IT, FREAKING DO IT." I love that. She said "you have limitless potential and opposable thumbs. You won the genetic lottery!" Basically, what's your excuse? And she's right! We have all that we need inside of us and we still get in our own way, and worse - let other people get in the way! We did an exercise where she had us rub our hands together really fast then stop and hold them apart, reminding us that our bodies are made of energy. We are powerful. I was reminded that everything living has a frequency and how imperative it is that we stay on top of managing our energy.

She gave us her 2 universal truths for getting anywhere you want to go: 1. order: defining what you want, what you are passionate about and a crystal clear picture of where you want to go. THINK BIG! 2. Movement: never stop pursuing what you want. Remain in motion. The world wants to keep you small. Think big, act big. Access the energy inside of you. Get quiet. Take time to reflect, and often, about what you feel called to do. And always do your best. She also cautioned us to watch out for indecision, procrastination and perfectionism which all stem from fear. Lastly, she instructed us to be grateful. Gratitude keeps us in the present. It's one of the most important steps. I know many people who begin and end their day in gratitude. What a magnificent way to live. And what an awesome woman! 

High Fitness was last. And WHAT. A. WORKOUT. What did I just do? I have never been so out of breath in my life. And I thought the last month of being seriously committed (to beginning to getting back into shape haha) had put me much further ahead. I mean, I'm not in the hospital. I made it through. So all is well. What a ridiculously effective whole body workout. 

I feel so grateful and filled to the brim. Thank you ladies for the spiritual, emotional, and *cough (Emily) VERY physical uplift. I loved everything about tonight!

P.S. In the words of one Garth Algar: We're "magically babe-licious!" Check out our photos on insta and you'll know why. :) 

Have a wonderful evening lovelies.
