Fitness: Love Yourself – Parvati Magazine

Fitness: Love Yourself, by Sandra O’Brien

As a personal trainer, I have had hundreds of conversations with people about their bodies. Particularly how they are unhappy, frustrated, and sometimes even disgusted with their bodies. The ability to love oneself seems to be a lost art. Most are so very quick to judge how they look and their ability or inability to stay focused on goals.

Your body and energy levels are a result of what you have eaten, the workouts you have done and your mindset about your worth over the past several months, and maybe even years. There is nothing and no one with whom to find fault. If you are not happy with your body and energy levels, change your actions and you will create a new version of yourself. Love the body you now have; you created it, after all. Your body is what your soul uses to get the work done it came here to do. Not loving your body and yourself does nothing to serve you, nor those around you. If you are not able to unconditionally love yourself, how can you expect others to do so? How are you going to find it possible to love others unconditionally if you judge yourself? Read more Here

Friendship

“Friendship takes time and energy if it’s going to work. You can luck into something great, but it doesn’t last if you don’t give it proper appreciation. Friendship can be so comfortable, but nurture it – don’t take it for granted.”

Actress and Comedian

Joy

For some, joy is happiness. Is a joy happiness? We would say is a no. Joy is different than happiness in that happiness is a form of transitory, emotional experience in reaction to external stimuli. Joy is not reaction. Joy is a state of being. [...] Happiness comes and goes. Joy is a non-transitory experience due to external stimuli. We would say, in some way joy is a more interesting state, for in joy there is the opportunity to experience compassion, to experience the nature of reality, to experience a true state of abundance, the true human destiny of being: wisdom compassion. In this way, joy is an experience beyond form. Joy is an experience when the human has found an experiential state not attached to form.

Grooves Testimonials -

I came to the class with no expectations other than to dance and have fun.  I found my self with my eyes closed, in dim light, moving randomly and freely, traveling around, bouncing with energy. I was grooving, exhilarated, aware but open and boundless and carefree. It felt so good to get out of my normal routine, constraints, let loose. I exercised a part of me that has been contained and repressed. – name withheld


I had it so tied up dancing with my being desirable for others I had never made the connection to moving my own body and grooving for me. Until I went to the Ecstatic Grooves party. There I discovered and found there is a pathway back to my groove, to that feeling of freedom, energy, excitement, movement.  It was just so much fun all the way around. – name withheld

I know that the Grooves party had a profound impact on me because when I was relaxing at the end I felt peaceful, relaxed, at ease, with no pain and warmth from happiness. The Grooves class helped me let loose and let my feelings out – they were being exercised too along with my body and dance moves! Thank you Sandra for the opportunities you create for each of us to be the best us possible! – name withheld

Developing a New Mindset is the Key to Having it All

Committing to a daily workout, minimum of four days a week, is key. What is the one sure way to ensure you do that? You must reprogram your mind. You must stop seeing yourself as someone who is on a diet, “trying “ to lose weight, fat, or pounds. Let’s say you are a non-smoker, on your way to the store to buy a magazine. You do not think before going to the store, “I hope I can avoid the temptation to buy cigarettes.” No, you see yourself as a non-smoker. The thought of buying cigarettes does not enter your mind when you are in the store.  Read more here

No need to feel guilty or be hard on yourself when you need to squeeze your butt and thighs into your pants. You had an awesome time, I hope, and now you simply have a few things to do to stop feeling like a sloth. Read more here
