Hey ladies and gents,

I woke up with a feeling today. And 10 pounds heavier…

I’m currently sitting at the airport of Atlanta, waiting for my flight that just got delayed. When I was told my flight was leaving in the next four hours instead of leaving in the next 10 minutes, my throat cringed. The lady at the gate wasn’t helping much either, she gave my an attitude and had bad breath.

Anyway, I entered a state of immediate fury and impatience. But then I remembered a specific feeling that I experienced this morning… It was this feeling of gratitude and simply loving the present moment. I had been in such a joyful mood all day, that when my state of peace had been tormented by such a stupid reason, my brain immediately reminded me to just let it be and remember “that” feeling from this morning. It’s been taking me a while to adapt to this state of mind but the fact that I even tried to apply this level of gratitude in a moment of total weakness, made me feel so ACCOMPLISHED.

Anyway, my point here is… Try to find a feeling, a feeling that brings total awareness and bliss. That way, you can try to look for this emotion that you already know, that you’ ve already experienced! And use it replace those moments of total stress.  Does that make any sense at all? haha, just hear me out.

So how can we actually try to do this? Sometimes visualizing or using a picture, can actually make things a whole lot easier. For example, I recently came across this great technique. When you are confronted with a bad situation, an insult or a heart breaking moment, try to visualize yourself like you are water and completely transparent. Imagine all those words and negative feelings going right through you.

Crazy, right? I know! But practice, practice, practice! It’s just like a sport. The more you practice the better you’ll get at it.

Please feel free to send away any questions you may have! I really enjoying answering all your emails 🙂

Here are pictures of my last days in LA bliss: 

Love always,
