"It is with love that I totally release the past. I am free. I am love."
Additional "homework:" In your journal, write down all of the things that you can think of that bring your peace and joy. Include all of the people, places and things that you enjoy.

Yoga Fix 30 - Day 10 - Total Body Yoga Workout
The party starts when the worrying stops
"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live."
-Johann Wolfgang Van Goethe
Congratulations on opening this message and embarking on day 10! You're doing great! I'm so happy that you're here. I was thinking about stress and worry because I experience it sometimes as I'm sure you do too. But the thing is...everything always works out for the best, right? I love that saying "worrying is like a rocking chair. You go back and forth and back and forth but you never get anywhere."
Today's affirmation is:
"I am filled with joy. It flows through me with every beat of my heart."
Additional "homework:" In your journal, write down some things that you were worried about in the past and how they were resolved. Did spending time worrying help you in any way? Is there anything you're worried about now? If so, write it down and then write, "I don't know how this situation will resolve but I trust that it will work out in the best possible way because I've been worried before, and things have always worked out for me."
All my love,
Lesley
PS See you tomorrow!! xoxo
Yoga Fix 30 - Day 11 - Shoulders, abs, headstand
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'm overjoyed that you're still here!! I hope you're enjoying the program and I thank you for all of your encouraging feedback.
Today's affirmation is:
"I know that Life always supports me." Read it, think it, write it! :-)
Additional "homework:" Write down a list of every positive thing you did in 2017 and all of the negative things that you did in 2017. Then go to your calendar and write in all of the positive things...reschedule the things that were awesome and then you'll have those things to look forward to!
Love,
Lesley

Yoga Fix 30 - Day 12 - HIIT With Handstand
Have you Decluttered?
"One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose site of the shore for a very long time."
-Andre Gide
How is your closet looking? Have you started to get rid of your clutter? Be honest...is there more that you can give away or donate? Those things you haven't used or worn in a year are good to go!
Here it your affirmation:
"I center myself in safety and accept the perfection of my life. All is well."
Additional "homework:" Keep working on that clutter situation. Research minimalism. You might enjoy letting go of much more than you initially thought! If you haven't started yet, begin to tackle those old papers and files that you've had forever too!
Love,
Lesley

Yoga Fix 30 - Day 13 - Total Body Vinyasa Flow
Practice and let go!
"The appearance of things changes according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves."
-Kahlil Gibran
Thank you for opening this message. I love that you're still participating in this 30-day program. Please, please, please do not worry if you're not doing it perfectly. If you miss a day, just continue as soon as you can. You many have heard me say, "just do your practice and let go of the results." In the Yoga Sutras, this is called "Abhyasa and Vairagya" Yoga is all about finding balance. We find balance in our physical bodies on the mat as we move through postures. We balance as we link our breath with our movement. We find the balance while generating heat in the body and then cooling it down. We must also remember to balance the mind by letting go of how we think things "should" be or what we think we should be able to achieve on our mats or in our lives. Just do your best. Don't you dare give up on yourself! Let the mysteries of yoga and life unfold as they will. Here is today's Louise Hay affirmation...it goes really well with Abhyasa and Vairagya:
"There is time and space for everything I need to do. I am at peace."
Additional "homework:" Get your journal out and write about something you were worried about recently and then how it resolved. Next, write about what your yoga practice was like when you first began and how it has evolved over time. What postures did you used to struggle with that have gotten easier? What are some things that you're struggling with now? How can you let go of the struggle? Finally, write down 10 things that you're grateful for.
Love,
Lesley
