This blog is a little taboo. But I’d be doing a disservice if I wasn’t totally honest about the topic of body positivity. Honestly, I’m split on the concept. Obviously self love is at the top of my list of advice. It’s everything. It’s legit all we need to radically transform our lives in every single way. But.. I’m not entirely convinced that body positivity necessarily equals self love. Allow me to explain. Loving your body is so critically important to our well-being. And it’s a hard thing to do. Social media, advertising and all the other BS has convinced us that we need to look a certain way to be acceptable. Which is total and utter bullshit. We are lovable as we are, on our worst case, with our cellulite. Period. So why would I be such a passionate advocate for self love but not necessarily for body positivity? While I completely agree with putting a middle finger up in the air to media for telling us how to look, I believe people should always strive to be healthy. Not lean, or fit, or skinny; but healthy. I see photos of women who appear unhealthy claiming to be “body positive” and it sends a mixed message. Accepting your body is very good, abusing it is not. In my opinion, being body positive is more than just accepting your body, it is honouring it. It is making an effort to show your body love, by treating it to healthy foods, regular activity, responsible resting and managing your stress. Not by eating whatever you want, being sedentary and claiming that you love your body. Your actions speak louder than words and so I am sending this blog out into the interwebs to try to promote a fresh new body positive ideology. One that not only speaks of self love, but embodies it. We have one body, and that body needs to last us a lifetime. Are you working towards your body’s longevity or instant gratification? Accepting your body and doing your best to keep it healthy is body positive. Using body positivity to avoid the responsibility of taking care of your body is dangerous and damaging to your well-being. When you truly love yourself, you take care of yourself. You make decisions for your well-being, for your health and for your happiness. Sometimes saying yes to cake is a radical act of self love, and other times saying no is a radical act, too. 90% of the serotonin produced in our bodies is created in our gut. So what we eat matters. We are made of about 50% water, so how much water we drink matters. We are built to move, so how active we are matters. If you want to start feeling healthy, alive and thriving - get body positive and start showing your temple some serious love. Nurture it, because it is the only place we have to live. And start today. Life does not need to be extreme. It’s not an all or nothing world. It’s us waking up each day, taking thousands of steps and trying to make a few in the direction of our well-being. And if you take a few steps you’re not proud of, don’t dwell on it, for there are thousands more you get to take. So make the next one count! What do you think about body positive? Comment down below and share your thoughts. Sending love & light, -L.K. Your life… How does it make you feel? Sluggish? Tired? Fed Up? Or unbelievably fucking fulfilled? Or somewhere in the middle? Like I discussed in last week’s blog, we need to stop running from our feels, and instead embrace them and get curious about why we feel the way we do. If things are going well in life, we are probably feeling pretty good. Negative emotions are just a (not so subtle) sign that something in our life needs to be changed. From there we figure out IF it can be changed, what action to take, or how in the eff we are going to accept something that’s driving us bonkers. Speaking of things that are bonkers, why do we play it safe in life? We’ve all been on the receiving end of a parent telling us to be safe, but we are grown ass adults now, and not taking chances because of some ridiculous fear that being imperfect will lead to not being loved. We fear failure, and rejection, so playing it safe in the pool of mediocrity feels comfortable… And unfulfilling. And horrible. And boring. Let’s just be real and honest for a second. Staying “safe” is detrimental to your happiness. Because we have basic human needs which involve variety and challenge. There is no sweeter feeling than overcoming some really tough shit. The skies open, you do your victory dance and you feel fucking invincible. For a moment you are aware of your inner strength and that you can do difficult shit. It’s tough, but not as tough as you. To motivate myself to get out of my comfort zone, I like to think of my death bed. Yup, my death bed. I like to think of what I might feel looking back at my life from my death bed. Will I be proud, or disappointed? Will I feel I lived a rich life, or did I struggle? Did I leave it all out on the floor, or will I die with regrets a unfulfilled burning desires within me? How would you feel in the same situation? Better question: what would you be doing right now if you knew you couldn’t fail? What legacy could you leave behind that will leave your future self proud AF? If it’s a job, an achievement, a person you’re in love with, whatever it is — do it! And do it now. Life is too goddam short and valuable to let fear dictate your fate. All we have is right now. Our past doesn’t define us, what we do right now defines us. It’s never too late to turn it all around, to start chasing those passions like a crazed maniac, to follow your heart courageously, to say hello to the cute girl at the coffee shop, to demand the raise you deserve, to wrap your arms around your hubby like you’re meeting him for the first time. Passion is within us. But what holds us back is fear. Of losing something, of discomfort, of doing what you dreamt of and it not being good enough. These are all possibilities. And while the risk of failure is a reality, it is tiny compared to the guarantee of disappointment if we continue to live our 80+ years of life doing the bare minimum, letting our passion fade, and letting ourselves down by saying no to making our life a masterpiece. Life is a trip. And you hold in your hands the map for your best life. One that gives you chills. One that sets your soul on fire. One that moves you so fucking deeply. So stop settling and take what’s yours. Your happily ever after is out there waiting for you to get bold and brave. What will you do today to make it a reality? Sending love & light, -L.K.  When we are having a good day, everyone knows it, it’s written all over our face, in the way we walk, and in the way we talk. We are so open and honest about it. We embrace all those good feels and spread that shit like confetti. But what about the tough days? The moods that are a little darker? Uncomfortable even. We see those feels coming and we run in the opposite direction. We cover that shit up with food, or get “white girl wasted” to avoid feeling anything at all. Let’s just admit it, we’ve all taken some difficult feels, shoved them deep, deep down where we hope no one will ever find it. And when that pile of undesirable feels gets too big, we find a new place to internally stash them. We will almost do anything to avoid sadness, anger, disappointment and anything else that takes us out of our precious little comfort zone. I’m encouraging you to find that pile of shit, and dive in. Feel the feels. Especially the rough ones. Because truth be told, the difficult emotions are the most valuable to our growth, our evolution, and our future. Emotions are just indicators of how life is settling with us. When things feel good, that means our needs have been met, we feel fulfilled, and we feel love. When we are feeling like shit, it’s an indicator that something in our life must change. Maybe that’s a job you hate, a partner who is driving you nuts, or the simple fact that you do everything for everyone in your life except for yourself (yes, I’m talking to YOU!) When we cover up our emotions by staying busy, getting drunk, eating an entire cheesecake, or by simply ignoring them by pretending all is well - we miss the call to action that would help avoid these uncomfy feels the next time around. Within every shitty mood comes a valuable treasure that could ultimately transform your life. If you’re not doing your best to avoid it, of course. When we can get curious about our “negative” emotions, rather than avoiding them, we can begin to identify the cause for the pain. We can figure out if it’s something we can fix. If so, we can come up with a game plan. If not, we get to work on that rusty skill of accepting things we dislike. Acceptance helps save us from having our entire day derailed. When we resist seeing issues, fixing issues, analyzing issues, and accepting issues; we get to keep them. Forever. In our subconscious mind. Have you ever blown up over something so small because it was the sum of a million little things? Yeah, that’s avoidable. But you’ve got to feel the feels and stop running from them. Life is tough sometimes, but so are you. This life is such a precious gift, and we often become so fixated on our convenience and preferences that we forget that life is always serving us, even if it doesn’t feel good. Life has a far greater plan for you than you could ever make up for yourself, so embrace the feels. The good, the bad and the downright ugly. Embrace them all. For they all make up life. The only people on this planet without issues are buried in a graveyard somewhere. Problems are life. They push us out of our comfort zone and reveal to us what we’re really made of. So roll up those sleeves and know that life is hard work. But it’s also the most incredibly rewarding experience we will ever have. So make the most of it. All of it. Sending love, light & all the feels, -L.K. 
Okay, I get it. When you live your life a little out of the ordinary, people are going to have questions. But this question.. This is just over the top, morbid and IMO unacceptable. The question I'm referring to (that I HAVE been asked personally) is this: What of your husband dies young? What will you do without kids? {pause for dramatic silence} Yes, this is actually a question someone has asked me. And although I'm sure their intentions were golden, it was a shitty question, and one that I hope you have never hear. From another mouth and especially not your own. Quick recap, I am not against people having children, I'm just against myself having children. Simply because they are too much damn work for my preferred lifestyle. But here's the thing, does having kids really help the situation? Sure I'd have my offspring to hang out with, perhaps even find a couch to sleep on, but couches to sleep on can be found even if I'm childless. Living a more selfish (childless) life might actually be beneficial in the case that I find myself alone at a young age. I'l have hobbies, and friends, and not to mention that my hubby and I are super duper fitness focused because we have no responsibilities beyond work and getting our asses in the gym. So barring some freak accident like running with the bulls, I don't forsee an early departure on either ends of our marriage. The moral of the story is this: there are plenty of perfectly good reasons to make a baby (IF you're into that sort of thing) but making offspring for company in the off chance that your elite athlete husband dies before you IS NOT ONE OF THEM. So if you have any questions about my non-mom lifestyle, by all means ask, but perhaps skip a beat first and think about whether or not it's the dumbest question in the world first. To all the happy moms out there, I'm fulfilled knowing that you are fulfilled. To all the non-moms out there, I know it's hard sometimes following your own path, but keep doing you and do it unapologetically. People will always have their opinions of how you should live your life, and be sure to remind them that you a) did not ask for their opinion but b) they are free to use their own wisdom in their life, while you live a life that sets YOUR soul on fire! You life is unique, and just for you (and anyone you choose to share it with) so never ever feel bad for doing things that make sense to you. That's what life is about, and I'm proud of you for adulting and recognizing that maybe parenthood isn't for you, yet, or ever. Sending love & light, -L.K. 
Lights, camera, action. Many of us live our lives in total reaction to how our day unfolds: if positive things happen, we are positive, and if we get some shitty bounces, that’s normally matched with a shitty mood. What we fail to see is that we are not engaging our most powerful asset: our super power of CHOICE. We all have the power to be intentional in the way we live. We can avoid much of the daily drama by being the directors of our own lives. And most importantly, our minds. Let’s face it: our life is a movie we are watching. Our eyes tell our brain what it sees and the brain comes to it’s conclusions on how we feel about the movie. Without our directing it, our brain will decide if this movie is a comedy, a horror or a drama. And our emotions will follow accordingly. We are the only person on this planet who can direct our minds to think a certain way, and if we are not taking that job seriously our mind runs on million year old software (think caveman days) and we will most likely look at most of life as an inconvenience, a danger or a problem. Our brain is wired for survival, not our happiness, so it is up to us to direct it to consider the silver lining and possible solutions to it’s perceived disaster story. But this takes effort. We are conditioned to listen to our brain and identify with what it’s telling us. Brain says “hey this sucks” and we agree unconsciously, “yes this does suck, I’m pissed!” And our potential of a wonderful day is now lightyears away and we will analyze this issue to death and commit the rest of the day to dwelling on it. If we want change, the mind is where to begin. If we own our responsibility of being the director, it will empower us to be able to:
What I need you to understand is the power you have and how that can recreate your reality. Own your personal power and you never have to play the victim again. You’re in the driver seat, so how do you want to experience this movie we call life? Happiness does not happen on accident. It’s a choice we must make again and again. Life isn’t happening to you, it’s simply happening and you’re the only thinker in your mind who can decide how you want to view these situations. So the camera is rolling in your mind, and how are you going to direct this masterpiece that is to be your life? Only you can choose, so create a masterpiece that you’ll be happy to watch back again and again. Because our movie becomes our memories. Sending love & light, -L.K. 
Life is a mess. It’s a bitch and it’s a blessing simultaneously. Some days seem easier than others, and most tend to push us to our boundaries, knocking us down on our asses again and again. What do I suggest we do about it? Laugh about it. I suggest you learn to laugh at life’s cruel and unusual sense of humour, and especially learn to laugh at our ridiculous selves. The only reason we don’t laugh at life as often as we could is because we feel inconvenienced. You see, there’s a silly part of our brain that thinks life should go according to our plans, wishes and timelines all the time, without fail. And when this inevitably does NOT go according to plan, we get really pissed off about it. Buddha said that attachment is the root of all suffering. Meaning that us being attached to certain outcomes (such as life being an easy, breezy experience all the time) is the only reason we suffer. Getting laid off, getting cheated on, stubbing your toe: these are all great examples of things that upset us when they occur. You might say “well of course I’d be upset, why wouldn’t I?” and the answer is simple: because you have a choice to be happy instead. Anger, sadness and disappointment are all natural emotions, but we don’t need to stay there. We have a choice. And every moment that our heart is beating presents a brand new opportunity to choose love instead. To accept the situation and find the silver lining and lessons in that to help us avoid those situations in the future. Every single moment of our lives serves us, especially the tough times. That’s where we learn the most, grow the most, and become our utmost badass selves. That’s where we find that sixth gear we never even knew we had. So my suggestion for a happy life is to learn to laugh at it. It’s all pretty ridiculous when you think of it. We are the only animals who overanalyze life, who micromanage life, who resist the present moment in a fiece attempt to avoid pain and gain pleasure. Rather than acting like every other species on this planet who for starters have it a HELL of a lot worse than us (hello predators and real danger!). They also embrace this moment and accept whatever happens. An injured animal does not sit around feeling sorry for itself, it does what it can with what it’s got. If you’ve ever seen a three legged dog you’ll quickly come to realize that humans are the only beings who notice it’s “handicap”, as it doesn’t seem to slow the dog’s enjoyment of life at all. So the next time life throws you a curveball yell “PLOT TWIST!” and move on. Laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. The pain, the pleasure, the lack of control, the abundance of hurdles. Because if you don’t laugh about it; you cry about it. Laughing at life won’t make the problems go away, and it won’t make life a cake walk, but it’ll make the journey a hell of a lot more fun and enjoyable. And what more can we ask for than that? Have fun. Laugh lots. Especially at yourself. Don’t take life too seriously, it’s a big cosmic joke. And you get to choose the punchline. Sending love, light & laughter, -L.K. 
To all the rebels out there who can’t be bothered to procreate, and to those who desperately try to convince them otherwise, this blog is for you. As soon as I tell people I’m not planning on having kids, I am normally hit with a handful of statements, questions and warnings about the lifestyle I’m choosing. I’ve decided it would be fun to bust a few of the baby myths I’ve been treated to over the past few years in hopes that it will help other non-parents know that it’s not just them, and hopefully to give a little insight to the super parents out there who simply can’t fathom why anyone would choose a life without babies. Let me start this off by saying I am not against children, in fact, I was a child at one point in my life and I am forever grateful that my parents were much more willing to sacrifice than I am. What I am against if my schedule being compromised, my sleep being negatively affected and my bank balance being spent on diapers rather than healing crystals and vacations. Some things I’m willing to sacrifice for, and others things I’d much sooner just avoid. Babies being one of them. This week’s blog I will be focusing on the five words that drive my wild in the baby debate: It’s different when it’s your own. This is total bullshit because I am not interested in sacrificing my time, energy and resources to do a good job in parenting. And yes, while I will agree: if I were to get knocked up, I would become fused with hormones that would make me much more willing to do the inevitable (give up my entire life for a child) but this is not something I would ever sign up for. The freedom I cherish, the finances I enjoy and the lifestyle that totally serves me would all be over if I were a parent. I’m sorry if that statement upsets you but it IS the truth. 100%. And for many that is a small price to pay for the adventure and legacy of raising a family. I can 100% understand where these family types are coming from, because I can see the beauty in parenting. But I also see the beauty in literally doing whatever I want the rest of my life with minimal stress, financial burden, and lack of time for my husband. So while I will agree, there are plenty of reasons to have a baby —if you’re into that sort of thing— but having one because it might be different if it’s your own is NOT one of them. We are not currently in a population crisis, so there is no pressure for anyone to make a baby. So I encourage everyone to take a moment to really ask themselves if this is a burning desire, or simply hot pressure from the people around you. I believe life as a parent and a non-parent can be equally wonderful, and it all depends on what you’re passionate about. If you feel incomplete without a baby, then it’s a no-brainer. But for those of you a little more like me, where it’s not a burning desire, and we could be just as happy without bambinos, then I say take your time and think it through. I think the hardest I have ever adulted in my life was the moment I realized I wouldn’t handle the stress of a baby that well. That was the right call for me, my husband and my unborn babies who would have a sleep-deprived bitch as a mom. Sending love, light & good vibes, -L.K. 
We’ve all been there: on the receiving end of something hurtful. Probably from someone we care about. Whether it was a hurtful comment, a betrayal, or a total abandonment, we’ve all felt the sting of heartbreak, and the seemingly inevitable transformation of that hurt into inner turmoil. We’ve taken a situation that happened TO us, and made it ABOUT us. We tell ourselves we clearly aren’t worth loving, we are bad people (and that’s why this happened), or my own personal favourite, I’m not good enough. We take a situation that could warrant massive self-compassion and instead turn it into an opportunity for self-loathing. We pick ourselves apart like a defence attorney and build a case of how we are to blame for the heartbreak. We decide that we somehow deserved it, that this always happens to us, and that we would be better off alone in a bunker somewhere than ever let this happen to us again. Does this sound a little extreme? Is this just me? I wish it were. But I hear it all the time. From my friends, from my family and from my community of hot messes across the globe. We believe that we are not good enough, not lovable and not deserving of good things, and so the universe gives us constant evidence to support our theory. The universe loves us enough to give us what we declare. We already know how powerful our words and thoughts are, so we must choose them wisely and be mindful of over identifying with thoughts that are disempowering. One of my favourite lessons in The Four Agreements is “Don’t Take Anything Personally”. This may sound like legit advice, but it’s terribly hard to follow through in the heat of the moment. Because things DO appear to be happening to us. When someone says or does something horrible to us, how could it NOT be about us? But the truth is: it isn’t about you. It’s about the person doing the bad deed. It’s their choice, their beliefs, their perception, their words, their actions. It’s all them. Even if their action is in reaction to what you originally did; it’s still all about them. In their minds, they decided what you did was unacceptable. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it WAS. It just was to them. You can’t change or control another person, all you can control is YOU. So be kind, forgiving and accepting. Of yourself and others. Be responsible for yourself and your emotions. Because this rule goes both ways. If you think someone hurt you, they didn’t. No one can hurt us without our permission. We allow ourselves to BE hurt. This may sound insane, but it’s true. Someone did something and we let that action affect us. A boat does not sink because it’s surrounded by water, that ship only sinks if there’s a hole to allow the water inside. Same goes for our well-being – nothing can damage our state of mind unless we allow the negativity in. So be a water tight vessel for love and compassion. Don’t let the bullshit in. You have much more power than you realize. The power you possess is in the choices that you have. You always have a choice. You can choose to protect your positive energy, or you can bite every time someone pushes your buttons. If you want to be happy, choose happiness. If you want to be miserable and affected by each and every plot twist in life: live on emotional autopilot, believe every thought in your mind, and take everything personally. Now that you know you have options, what will you choose? Sending love, light and personal power, -L.K. 
Have you ever had a fitness goal? Did you achieve it? If you did achieve it, were you able to keep your results? Unfortunately most people would say no to the last question, and I am no exception. I’ve achieved my fitness goals a hundred times, but could never seem to hold onto my results. I’d get fit for a wedding, then become a heat seeking missile for calories and blow months worth of work over a single weekend. If you can relate, then you’re going to love the interview I’m sharing this week with Brendan Lund of BrainsforBrawn. He is not only an incredible force on Instagram, setting over 40 thousand followers free of restrictions and unhealthy relationships to food and the fitness journey, but he was also the coach that freed yours truly from a lifetime of disordered eating. So needless to say, I'm thrilled to share my interview with the man behind the donut, Brendan Lund in “Using Your Brain to Get Your Dream Bod”. 
What started out as a freedom project for Brendan Lund quickly became an Instagram sensation. People go nuts for his signature “donut pose” which represents a restriction-free lifestyle, which began to take on a revolution of it’s own as BrainsforBrawn followers shared their own interpretations and meanings. Brains For Brawn Rather than following traditional fitness programs, Brendan coaches his clients to reach their fitness goals at a rate that is optimal for them. Focusing first on the mental health of the client, and when their mindset is ready, putting more emphasis on their physical goals. When asked about the significance of Mental vs Physical transformations of his clients, Brendan said he would choose the mental transformations 100% of the time because it is necessary to achieve the physical transformations. Focus on Sustainability If you’re new to fitness, or have a new goal for your physical health, it’s vital to focus first on sustainability. Brendan explained that if you cannot see yourself following a specific program for the rest of your life, that is an indicator that your methods may be too extreme. You may achieve your goals, but at the detriment of your mental and emotional well-being. The fix: never agree to follow a plan that you couldn’t follow for life. A diet that consists of a very short list of approved foods probably won’t do in the long haul, and neither would working out so much that you can’t have a personal life. Beware of the Binge/Punishment Cycle This nasty cycle is not only for ex-bikini competitors, but often affects anyone who is following too strict of a fitness regime. When someone commits to following an unsustainable fitness program, they often binge eat. This bad habit not only derails your fitness goals, but also leaves you with a perpetual feeling of guilt, shame and defeat. Binge eating is often followed up with extra cardio sessions, calorie restrictions and a piss poor mindset towards themselves and their efforts. The fix: Following a plan that doesn’t leave you (literally) starving. If you have been following a super restrictive plan for a long duration of time, a reverse diet may be required. Brendan mentioned that often a reverse diet adds calories in too slowly, which drives clients to binge eat. By adding more calories, to the point where the client is satiated, there may be a gain in weight, but this will hail in comparison to the gain in mental well-being. Which is always worth it. The Flaw of Wanting to “Get Fit” We’ve all said the words “I just want to be fit” but the problem with this goal is it’s much too vague. Being fit can mean a million different things to a million different people. Which is why I had to ask Brendan share his thoughts on one of my favourite Instagram posts (shown below). Being fit can’t be defined, because being fit is being built for what you want to do. 
This post rocked my world, and shattered my perception of having a “fit body”. Perhaps my thoughts on fitness were outdated, and perhaps even dysfunctional? When I was freed from my ideology of fitness, I was able to embrace the body I currently have, ask myself some deep questions about how I really want to look, and was able to take my new-found self-acceptance and take small daily action towards achieving my goals. While being totally satisfied with my current state of fitness. It was amazing, and I hope my breakthrough can turn into YOUR breakthrough too! Slow & Steady Wins the Race While diving in and getting extreme may be the fastest way to lose weight and achieve goals, it’s far from optimal. Don’t try to overachieve, instead focus on sustainability and your overall health, including your mind, body and emotional health. By being patient and kind with yourself as you learn to make healthier life choices, you can find a personal power within you that will make radical transformation possible. Having a coach like Brendan is a catalyst for these types of changes. Everything Brendan does is to make his client feel like they are succeeding every single day, and to return their apologies for non-compliance with encouragement. I remember he once messaged me “there’s nothing that can’t be fixed” and I have never looked at anything the same since. Thank You Brendan I messaged BrainsforBrawn with a volatile relationship with food and no belief that things could be different. I write this blog today a completely different woman. I can bust my ass in the gym AND enjoy foods I love. I experience freedom and fun with food, a notion I honestly didn’t know was possible after struggling for so many years. For the first time in my life, I have a healthy relationship with food. It's a miracle. If you’d like to know more about Brendan be sure to watch our interview, and follow him on Instagram. As he says, I dare you to read a caption. {It might just change your life.} I hope you've enjoyed this interview, and that it will help you enjoy the challenges and opportunities in your fitness journey, Sending love, light and delish donuts, -L.K. 
Last week I had the immense privilege of interviewing Gala Darling, the best-selling author of Radical Self-Love: A Guide To Loving Yourself And Living Your Dreams. We discussed everything from falling deeply in love with yourself and your body, to the Spice Girls (can you guess who her favourite member is?). Here are a few highlights of my favourite nuggets of wisdom: Gala's Three Steps to Self Love 1. Appreciate What You Are (Be Grateful)
She Married Who? Two months ago in Marrakech, dressed in all white, in front of a candle-lit mirror Gala said her vows.. to herself. In this radical act of self-love, she found a true sense of love for herself. Tell me you aren't itching to do this for yourself now..?! She followed up the nuptials with a honeymoon to Tulum, where she began writing her second book. Finding Beauty in Others Helps You Find Beauty in Yourself Gala said she began to admire her own beauty once she began recognizing the beauty in others. Realize that there is no "one size" for beauty. We are all unique, and we are all beautiful. Find an appreciation for your body, and all your curves. Her Spiritual Squat Gala really began connecting with her body and discovering her self-love through going to the gym. After five years struggling with an eating disorder, Gala found strength and appreciation for her body while doing weight training, pilates and "stripper-cise", a stripper style workout program. Through working out she also learned the value of her self-talk. She noticed that when she spoke negatively to herself, she struggled with the exercise, but with loving supportive thoughts, she was able to exceed her own expectations physically. Tapping for Improved Body Image I have spoke in the past about the magic of EFT Tapping techniques (click here for my blog on EFT) but Gala took it to the next level to overcome her eating disorder and negative body image. She stood in front of a mirror at home, totally naked, and began the EFT Tapping process. While sharing positive body image affirmations as she was tapping in front of the mirror, she was able to totally rewire her brain and thoughts about her body. Life is Not About Finding Yourself, It's About Creating Yourself For those wondering "who am I authentically?" Gala has this to say "Take all these ideas & inspirations, and make your life into a recipe for something that is interesting to you." Remember that you're always changing and evolving. Life is all about self-expression. Express what you love, and as it changes you can express yourself differently. Find what resonates with you each day and remember that how you dress and express yourself is a way of honouring yourself. "You don't need glitter all the time, but when you need it, you REALLY need it." Advice for People on Tinder: Be intentional with everything you do.. Write your tinder profile very clearly, like a spell. Attracting what you want in your life. Get clear on who you are so you can express it in all areas of your lives.
"Recognize that you can bring in as much magic as you want to."
-Gala Darling
