But, wait! Have you reflected and let go of 2022 or are you still carrying its weight? 

Struggles, challenges, things that didn't work?  When we do that, we carry our old burdens and habits into the new year. Isn’t there a better way? An opportunity for something fresh, upgraded, and new?

Are you open to reflecting with me and letting 2022 go? If so, grab your journal and keep reading.

Allow me to walk you through the steps that I taught on my group accountability call. And after you are done with your reflection and want more or are ready to jump into our group, now is the time. We are starting this week. Apply here now.

Step 1.

List 5...

I am thankful for my life's journey;
For the years I have lived.
I am thankful for the spirit
I choose in a moment.

I am thankful for the sunrise
To remind me to breathe and smile.

I am thankful for the fresh air
To swallow life and space.

I am thankful for the first sip of morning coffee
That helps me be present in the moment.
I close my eyes and feel... life.

I am thankful for the morning workout sweat
With tired but laughter with all at the end.

I am thankful for the energy produced
To live my day with the power I choose.

I am thankful for the people I meet along the way
All to grow
Communication and love.

I am thankful for struggles and toughness
All to build
Tenacity and strength.

I am thankful for afternoon tea
To stop and be present
To good for me.

I am thankful for lunch and a movie
To feel the love with my child.

I am thankful for evening glory
To slow down my speed
And be here to receive.

As I close my eyes in the dark
I count my blessings.
With each...

Allow me to re-introduce myself. In this message I want to share what I truly value, in my life and my business. 

The bottom line is that I truly want the World to be The place for us to live and enjoy. Enjoy our experiences, enjoy each other, enjoy safety, enjoy life! 

 I believe that this is possible when we are internally happy. 

This fuels my passion to wake up in the morning and make small tiny steps towards my goals. I do it by having conversations and sessions with my clients during business hours. I also do it while talking with my children.  I also do my best to live what I teach, to walk my talk. 

I believe that creating a ripple effect is a thing. My heart longs for health; physical, emotional, mental. My soul leaps to fill myself and others with the light of happiness. 

I believe in peace for our world. I believe it is possible because each one of us owns the potential for internal happiness. 

I channeled my...

I eat because I love. And I am a lazy cook.

I often get asked what and how I eat.  As I sat down to journal my reflection, allow me to share with you my current meal situation.

I start prepping my meal when I am about 30% hungry. 

To prep, I ask myself, how can I feed my body with love? What can I make to nourish my body? 

On days I feel a lack of energy, what can I make to lift my energy?

On days I feel down, what can I eat to feel good?

When I am tired, what can I eat to relax?

I make my meal accordingly.  I cook like I would feed someone I love. 

Hey, I am still on my way. I still sometimes struggle to give myself time to cook. I do not want to stand in the kitchen and cook!

So I prep.

I find the time on the weekend to pre-cook for the week. I prep the foods that may take time. On some weeks, I make brown rice, on some, red potatoes. I may even chop veggies and place them into Single serving containers. I am also not...

Today, I had this urge to really reflect on the impact my dad has had in my life.

He's not one to chat away, but when he does speak up, you know he means every single word. He's never been the type to say those three little words, "I love you," out loud, but somehow, deep down, I've always known it to be true.

Ever since I moved to the US way back in 2003, I've made it a point to visit my parents every year. I can vividly remember walking into the room and finding my dad engrossed in watching European football. Without hesitation, I would plop down next to him on the sofa and naturally get caught up in the excitement, cheering right alongside him. Those moments created such a special bond between us that I'll forever hold close to my heart.

Let me tell you, my dad has a thing for bread. To him, a meal just isn't complete without a hearty loaf of bread. He'd always say, "You can't call it a meal if there's no bread." And you know what? To this day, I still find so much joy in...

I look up
So you can see me.

I stand on my toes
So you can find me.

I lift my arms up
So you can grab me.

I jump…
So you can catch me?

You carry me high
And I can see.
The bird view eye.

How far I've come.
And created to be.

Who are you?
Being so brave
Carrying me all this time.

I look into your eyes,
And the air stands still.

My heart is full
With blindness I have been.

Who are you,
Carrying me all alone?

How did I not
Know you?
How did I not
See Me?

All along.
All this time.
To be my self.
To lift me up.
To fill me strong.
To pull me high.
To live my best.

Let's fly!

As I sat down to write my morning reflection email, my plan was to write about How to Exercise in Pain. And as I was writing, my heart kept yearning for a different topic, My child leaves in a few months for college, how do I deal with my emotions? In fact, I will finish my message about Exercise and Pain in the next two days so keep an eye out.

 Today, I want to ask us; How do we deal with emotions when life circumstances change and there is nothing we can do about that. Some of us must say, "sure, there is something we can do." I agree. But what is it?

As I asked myself this question, I looked inward to reflect on how I am dealing with my child leaving the nest. Though I have never dealt with this situation before, I have experienced similar circumstances that produced similar emotions and bodily response, I might have been here before. 

Let me walk myself and you through a 5-step process of How to Deal with Emotions when Life Changes.

Step...

Today's message is about time and urgency. 

How long have you been in business? That is a question I get all the time.  

My answer is a little more complicated than "2 years".  

Coaching by Nadya was formed 2 years ago. I started my personal and professional wellness journey on April 9, 2009. My degrees are in teaching and psychology. I worked as a psychologist when I graduated from college. I was 17. The first personal development book I ever picked up was "How to talk to anyone" by Dale Carnegie. I was 11. 

How long have I been in this industry? My answer,  as long as I can remember.  

In a recent conversation in our newly born book club, we talked about, what does it take for one to make a dramatic change or strong commitment? Many books, when one starts reading, depict a life-death situation that eventually leads the author to write the book. But so many of us haven't experienced a drastic...
