I had a big realization Saturday morning: the point of life is not to make it more comfortable but to become resilient.

We put so much effort into controlling our environment, yet there are things that will always escape our control.

Anyway, life has a funny way of reminding us we were never in charge.

Or haven't you noticed the minute you think everything's perfectly in place, something happens?

And so, the quest to raise protecting walls for our sandcastle delays achieving the only thing that matters.

Interestingly, the resilience I speak of is not one of force but of surrender.

Because true strength is the ability to fold -like the grass does with the wind- instead of being the tree fighting the force that ultimately breaks you.

What if, instead of seeking more control, you simply accepted what happens?

And not just accepted it but did it with GRACE.

How would your life change? What would become available?

Thoughts?...👇🏻

The mind is a fascinating thing.

This morning I sat down to meditate -something I had been resisting lately- and almost instantly went into a state of pleasant intoxication.

The funny thing is I found myself in Alice's Wonderland -with white rabbit and all and for whatever extravagant reason.

Had I not been feeling so damn good, I had probably burst out laughing. But I just said WTH and went back to the technique.

I find that meditation is one of those things we put off, avoid, and procrastinate on for the simple reason of sabotaging ourselves.

And before you fight me, hear me out: it's not a conscious thing. Not as in "I feel like sabotaging the hell out of myself today. What should I do? 🤔"

Nah, not like that.

And it happens not just with meditation. I avoid exercising and focusing on critical elements of my business from time to time.

Coming from pain, I used to push myself to do it anyway. Push harder, Luna, come on!

But these days, I pause to look within. I remind myself of the reward that awaits me and the reasons why these things matter to me. I check with my values, and I find the motivation there.

And of course, every single time I win over resistance, I feel like a million dollars after. It's always worth it.

With meditation specifically, my biggest obstacle used to be not getting immediate gratification, which changed when I gave this technique a try.

Now all I need to do is overcome the initial resistance, and there I often find myself in Wonderland.

Resistance is there to "protect" you, but it's not your friend.

Learning to defeat it will take you to far, faraway places.

For those of you who don't know me well yet, let me tell you what I'm doing here, and what’s in it for you 👇🏻

Twenty years ago I became obsessed about learning of things that could improve my life in different ways. Mind, body, and spirit. It was a pull that made me become a walking lab -researching, experimenting, and that never let go of me.

At the time I had just arrived to the United States from Cuba, so making money to never be hungry again was a priority. Instead of embracing my passion, I started working at a bank.

After hard work and tons of luck, success followed, and 'till this day I still do estate planning work for an amazing company.

Last year though, I decided to simultaneously do work as a Wellness Coach, and pursued a certification as a Nutrition Counselor. This marked the begining of an exciting journey.

So, in 2020, my goal is to help 100 women lose weight while gaining health.

In this light, most of my posts will revolve around this topic, though not exclusively. I will also post about practical, cool things that enrich and optimize your life to another level.

As I see it, this is the only body you get to have in this life, and taking good care of it translates into a happier, more fulfilling life.

The mind is a crucial element in this, so I will also give you tools to tame this wild monkey and use it in your favor.

Further along I will launch a program dedicated to help single women. It is inspired by my Healing Eve project and the great interest it got.

For now, I hope you accompany me in this journey. I am always a message away if you wed help with a health or weight-loss item.

Thank you for walking with me.

#2020

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the crazy amount of things I have to do. Projects, work, personal items, do, do, do some more...

And feeling that time is like water running through my fingers.

I cry, feel down, and sleep a lot that day. Humaning is complicated, and the meaninglessness attacks fiercely, without shame.

Then, I remember I have a nice roof over my head, more food than I’d even care to eat, and magical people around me, who love me.

Don’t ever fall for the fallacy of what’s missing. At least not for long. Bring yourself back to the blessings each time.

Life is an enigma, but one worth experiencing. Be grateful for just being here 🙏🏻

2020, I’m coming for you... 👀

I’ve been working on something exciting with .francis for the past few weeks. Can’t wait to share it with you all. Stay tuned for details! 🎉

I teach women how to unleash their inner Goddess to create a fulfilling relationship.

And yet, one of the aspects of the program is learning to embrace their aloneness.

Getting to know ourselves and loving all the pieces is paramount to attract the right partner. And solitude is the best soil for this work.

What do you remind yourself of every day?

Mental toughness is not about never feeling down. It’s about allowing emotions to flow without feeding them.
