Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for joining us for week seven. Week seven, we’re talking about embodiment and the importance of embodiment. And how that plays a huge role in the way that you your body loses fat and the way that you transform your physical body. The way you transform your whole being into what you were wanting to attain and live in the rest of your life. When I say “live in,” that means this physical body that houses the very essence of you. That physical body when you are embodied in it and you feel in your body, then you will create results, experience results that you’ve never had before.

We have disconnected our head and our body. We’ve severed that communication. Typically when people go through hard experiences in their life, tough times, times that usually weight gain follows. Then you experienced this just yuck feeling all through your soul. The very being of you doesn’t feel right. And you go on merry-go-round dieting and you’re up and down, roller coaster ride of your life, of going up and down with your weight. This diet, that diet.

Well, as you know in the NewYou90 program, this is it. We have decided as a whole that we are done with that. That we are ready to live free in a body that we love. Tonight, I am opening you up to the embodiment practice. So much fun, so much fun. Let me begin sharing my slides with you so that we can move on.

Embodiment is a fun practice that will help you the whole way through your process of losing. Of losing. You can create lasting results just by being embodied because you’ve actually reconnected the mind to the body. You have nurtured that relationship again to where they’re not beating each other up, but to where they actually reside as a whole and function as a whole and operate together versus separately. It’s a very fun practice embodiment is and I am thrilled to be sharing it with you tonight during our week seven of the NewYou90 Challenge. All right, let’s go after it.

Announcements and check in. Tonight. I’m wanting to just remind you of our Facebook. On Thursdays at 12 noon. The live Q&A on Thursdays at 12 noon. Please send in your questions. You can message me through Facebook. Message your question there or you can email it to info@AshlyToria.com. Please don’t forget that my name does not have an E in it. It is A-S-H-L-Y. T as in Tom. T-O-R-I-A. That is info@AshlyToria.com. We’d love to have your questions for that Q&A. I love helping you and guiding you through this. When things pop up, please reach out. I am here for you.

Also I want you to take a moment to check in with yourself. Where are you? Where do you stand in this challenge? Where do you stand in this 90 day process? We are just past the halfway point. And do you feel that you are halfway to the point that you wanted to reach at 90 days? Do you feel like you’re ahead? Do you feel like you’re behind a little bit? Wherever you are on this spectrum really doesn’t matter. What matters is is that you show up every single day. What matters is is that you practice. You practice on nourish days. You practice on cleanse days. You practice doing your very, very, very best. We persevere in this program because perseverance strengthens you.

In perseverance you can overcome. Perseverance. It’s one of the greatest teachers ever. You can do this. You really can. You just have your eye on the goal. Have your eye on your inspiration. Have your eye on what drives you in your life. That’s where your eye is and then everything else will just follow. Because the way you eat on nourish days and cleanse days has become a habit of sorts at this point. Now you have down your meal planning. How you pack your foods. How you pack your food bag. How you do your dinner when you get home at night. It’s all been mapped out for you the last six weeks. You’ve had six weeks of practice. Now at this point, it’s a matter of just walking through, right?

You just walk through it and you have your eye on what drives you. That is the key to success. Check in and see where you are right now. But let’s get going on embodiment. Embodiment is giving form to ideas that are not physical. When you think of the word joy. Joy, when you want to embody joy, you’re giving form to that word. To the meaning of that word. You’re giving form to it. Which means joy actually has a chemical process within your body. And if you’ve ever felt joy, which I’m sure all of you have, you have felt joy at one time or another. Then you know what that feels like.

The difference in your chemistry from sadness to one of joy is completely different. In this program, what we want to do, if you will think back to how I introduced you to the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system. When we are embodied with joy, we are in parasympathetic. Our body is burning fat. When we are embodying sadness and worry then our body is in… What I mean by sadness is that sadness that is so deep that you’re really worrying. Right? Then you are storing fat and burning muscle for energy. That’s the sympathetic nervous system.

When I talk about embodiment, there’s several different ways you can feel embodiment. When there is a time for sadness, you want to embody sadness, and you want to be all there with the sadness so that you can process and move on. But then when there is a time for joy, you want to totally embody joy and be there with the joy and let joy be processed through you.

Embodying our emotions is so vitally important for the health of our body. When we embody, we are personifying the word we want to create and feel which means that we are giving form to that word. To joy, to happiness, to strength, in compassion, we’re giving form to that and we feel that within us. Then when we are also embodied, we can then express it. If you have embodied joy then when you embody, you can express that word you’re wanting to create and feel so much easier. Then also what is so beautiful about this is when we embody we can also manifest it. That is contagious.

When you feel joy and you embody joy, that is when it becomes contagious and it can melt into other people. It brings into other people and feeds into them. Therefore, you have just created this joy all around you. It’s not only within you, but it’s on the outside of you as well and you’re sharing it with other people. That’s what embodiment is all about in the deepest meaning of the word. What we’re wanting to do in this practice is we are wanting to embody ourselves and all that we’re experiencing in this process.

I didn’t hide me. There we go. Well, still a little bit in the way, but you should be able to see most of those words. When we are embodied, when we exercise, our focus, we are mono-focused on the movement of our body. When you’re exercising, breathing is such a huge proponent of that. You want to make sure you’re not holding your breath because embodiment only happens when we are breathing. When we have a breath cycle. In and out. Deeply. Fully.

That’s when we’re embodied when we can feel that. The same thing was with pleasure, you can’t experience pleasure unless you have that breath as well. With embodiment, you probably felt embodiment when you were experiencing pleasure this past week. When you’re practicing it. But when you are an exercise and you’re exercising your body, breathe fully and completely, and you want your focus and attention to be on the physical movements of your body and how that movement feels.

Let’s say you’re doing a bicep curl and you have a dumbbell in your hand and you’re bending your elbow and bringing that dumbbell up towards your shoulder. That’s a bicep curl. When you do that, and do this right now with me. Bend that elbow and pretend you have a dumbbell up. 10, 20, 30, 40 pound dumbbell. However heavy you want it to be. Pretend you’re bending your elbow and raising that up towards your shoulder and feel the way the muscle in the front of your arm, which is the bicep, on the anterior portion of the arm. Put your mind right there in that muscle and feel it contract.

Do this over and over and you begin to feel a burning sensation. When you’re pretending you have weight in your hand, you’re contracting that muscle as it’s coming up. You pretend you have weight and you’re lifting weight with it. Now do that over and over and if it helps, put your hand on that muscle as you’re doing this. And as you’re bending your arm over and over again, you’ll begin to feel that burn. What else do you feel? You feel the muscle pump up. You feel blood flow there. What else are you feeling? Do you feel your shoulder tightening up as well? Do you feel the upper back supporting the arm while it’s in motion? Do you feel that tension back there? Holding the weight of this arm as its way down with a dumbbell.

Do you feel the center of your body tightening up and pulling in a little bit slightly in one direction in order to hold you centered and balanced? What else do you feel? Allow yourself to sink into your body as you do this movement. It’s a simple movement, but you can feel it in your body in so many different areas.

That is a simple example of what it feels to be embodied. You can do this with full body movements. If you’re a yoga lover and you love to do yoga, feel the flexibility and mobility and the range of movement of your body. As you move, keep your mind and your attention focused within and how it feels to move and stretch and your body will speak to you. Your body will let you know if you’ve gone too far. And you’ll need to pull back a little bit. When you’re embodied and giving your physical body the full attention of you then your body will begin to communicate with you, letting you know how that exercise is benefiting you or what you need to do to change your exercise so it can benefit you even more. When you’re embodied, you completely feel you’re in the moment with your physical body. Understanding all that it needs. Isn’t that wonderful?

I have an activity for you this week. It is called the mirror activity and I am going to place this in the documents file on the Facebook page tomorrow. There is going to be a mirror activity in the documents and you are going to be able to walk through this mirror activity so that you can begin to feel more in alignment with your physical body and the changes that you’re going through. Have you ever heard of people going on those extreme diets, let’s say the full liquid diet, and they lose all of that weight? 100 pounds, 150 pounds. Only to gain it back.

One of the reasons for this is the lack of environment practice. As your body is changing form and you are transforming your physical body, you will be undergoing changes and it’s very important for you to see those changes and not turn a blind eye to them. We must take responsibility for our habits, our behaviors, the new habits and behaviors we’re implementing, and the results that those new habits and behaviors give us. If we do not fully embody and take that responsibility, then when we get to the end of our journey, we tend to forget, and we don’t feel right in this body because it’s foreign. We don’t understand it. We don’t understand how it operates. We don’t resonate with it. It’s not us because we’re used to seeing us as the person before with the bad habits and the bad behaviors. How can I transform if that new body doesn’t resonate with me? If I’m not embodied in that new body. There’s no way to stay there.

This is a practice that is very important, especially if you have a large number of weight, fat weight, body fat percent, whatever it is that you’re losing. You want to wrap your brain around this concept of embodiment and pleasure. Both of them together. Embodiment and pleasure because it’s vitally important that you get to know your body as it’s changing and that you adapt to it. That you are embodied in it, you understand it, you have a relationship with your physical body and understanding. So that as that weight disappears and you become a smaller version of you, that you know how to relate to that body. You know how to relate to you.

I hope that makes sense. If you have any questions over this concept, please feel free to reach out to me. I would love to help you with this. This is a big component to transforming your body for the final time. Right? We don’t want to do this again. We want to get to our goal and live in a body that we love. One way of doing that is by this embodiment practice. As you’re nourishing your body with wholesome nutrition and supplementation, doing the embodiment practice with pleasure. I’m going to post that mirror activity tomorrow in documents. I will also make that announcement on the Facebook group so everyone sees it

Yes, don’t you love Home Play [Phonetic 00:16:41]? Home Play materials are so fun. Love them All right, moving right along. All right so this is something I want to point out is embodiment is manifesting the feeling that you want to envelop body and soul, right? When something disappoints or crushes you, the moment the experience occurs, you can identify that feeling. You’ve just embodied it. If something disappoints you and you feel that in your body, it’s an emotional chemistry. That is when you just embodied. You have felt it.

Same thing with happiness. When someone just gives you some really good news, all of a sudden that emotional energy just rushes through you. You just embodied happiness. If it’s that easy to embody an emotion, then why don’t we do this all the time with all the sacred metabolizers? With love. Excuse me. With love, courage, commitment, compassion, faith, forgiveness, surrender, and gratitude. If our body can embody an emotion within 10 seconds… Actually a millisecond. Our body can embody emotion in a millisecond. Why aren’t we doing more of the sacred metabolizers and bringing joy into a pleasure? Happiness? Yes. That’s what we want to embody. That will put us in a pleasure chemistry arena where we are burning fat all the time. That’s what we want.

All right, so activities that will help us with this. Let’s see if I can get rid of this. Oh, sorry about that. One second. All right. Deep belly breathing will help you embody. Just by deep belly breathing. When you deep belly breathe. There are several different ways that you can do this exercise. One is the 4-7-7. Where you take a breath in for a count of four. A full breath in. You hold it for seven seconds. And then you exhale. I’m sorry, I just said that backwards. Inhale for a count of seven. Hold for seven. And then exhale for four. Very quickly. That is one type of breathing. So it’s inhale for seven, hold for seven, exhale for four, really quick.

Another way to deep belly breathe is just a very slow inhale. So a very slow inhale where you begin with the diaphragm. Imagine you’re breathing in through a straw and that straws connected to the diaphragm right above your stomach. So you breathe in through the nose. Hold it for three seconds and exhale through the nose. You went to exhale from the diaphragm first, I’m sorry, the top of the lungs first. I am speaking backwards tonight. So sorry. You are exhaling from the top of the lungs and emptying all the way through the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the last thing that pushes the rest of the air out.

So take a long, slow, deep breath in. Belly first, then fill up the lungs all the way to the top. Hold for two to three counts. And then exhale slowly again for a count of seven, starting with the top of the lungs, going all the way down to the diaphragm and exhaling. Let that diaphragm be the final push for everything out. When you do deep belly breathing it is helpful to do two or three of those and then take a small break and do a regular breath for two to three and then go back to the deep belly breathing. Otherwise you could get lightheaded. So you want to watch that.

Meditation is a another great way to be embodied. I sent a meditation in an earlier email so be sure and grab hold of that. Yoga, swimming, dancing, weightlifting, intimacy, eating. When you’re in a state of awareness, you are embodied what you’re eating. Play. It’s that childlike zest that puts us in our body. Laughing, giggling. All of that brings us into our body. If laughter embodies us, we would want to do a lot more laughing wouldn’t we? Start laughing more in your life. Laugh at the most mundane things. Laugh at the silly things that happen. Or sometimes you might get upset with yourself because you felt like it was a mistake or you drop something or whatever. Instead of getting upset about it, laugh about it. Laugh about it. Yes.

Embodiment. So much fun. Such a fun practice. So you want to do the next step. The next step of embodiment is to manifest. So do you remember the three things you personify? That you express and then you manifest. So this is the area where we manifest. We want to see what we want to create in our life. We want to see what the kind of body we want to create. So visualize the shape of your body. The health of your body that you truly desire. Then as your eyes are closed and you’re saying it, you want to feel with it. You want to see, “Okay, what does it feel like for my stomach to be that shape? My waistline to be like that. What does that feel like? What does it feel like to be in that body? How do I carry it? What does that look like?”

And then you want to be it so as you’re feeling it, you are becoming it. Then you want to move around. What does it feel like when I’m moving around in this body? When I’m getting dressed in the morning, what does it feel like? The mobility of my body. The flexibility of my body. What does it feel like to be in this body that is healthy and vibrant? That is the size that I love. That I’ve always wanted to be. Walk around in that body. Literally walk around. We are visioning this at first. We’re seeing in our mind’s eye, but then when we be it, we want to actually walk around. What’s that feel like to be like that. Then we declare it. We declare it out loud. We declare that we are healthy, vibrant, shapely, muscular, strong. Whatever it is that identifies the new body that you’re transforming into. You want to declare that out loud. I am and say whatever it is.

Declare out loud. The body, the physical body, who you are in that body. Who you’re personifying. Declare it out loud. Step into awareness of embodiment. Be there. Be all in it. Pick an activity, whether it’s the visualizing and manifesting your desired life and your desired body. Or if it is a new form of activity that you want to bring into your life like yoga or Tai Chi or Qi Gong. Any of those embody practices. Dancing. And then step into that activity and take note of what you feel. Where you feel it. How does your body move like this and surrender and have fun.

Surrender and have fun when you’re manifesting embodiment. Yes, yes, yes. It is so much fun. So you see it, you feel it, you be it, and you declare it. Yes. That is the way you manifest it. Have fun with that. Embodiment is such a fun practice. Get crazy with this one, y’all. Just take off the chains that bind you. It is time to loosen up a little bit and have fun with embodiment and pleasure. These two go together. So week six and week seven go together. Practice them together. When you’re embodied, seek pleasure. When you’re having pleasure, seek embodiment.

This journey of yours will take on a whole new look, a whole new experience, that will resonate with you. That will be fun. That will have you burning fat like never before. It will also transform you so that when you are in that body that you’ve always wanted to be in, the strength, the curves, the mobility, the muscularity, whatever it is, then you will resonate with it. You will be at one with it and this roller coaster ride of dieting motions will never happen again.

Embody your body and have so much fun with it. So much fun with it. All right, that is all that I have for you tonight. Enjoy this. Have so much fun with it. Remember, if you need anything, have any questions, message me on Facebook. I will get right to it and get back with you so that we can get a discussion going around what is ailing you. What is troubling you or what is victorious for you. We always love to celebrate so be sure and celebrate.

Send your celebrations to me because I love, love that and share it on the Facebook group because the whole group loves to hear. The whole group wants to join in in celebrating your experiences and your successes. Have a great week seven. I look forward to talking with you on Thursday at our Q&A. Enjoy and have a wonderful evening. Good night, everybody.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to week six of the NewYou90 challenge. You are doing so great, you are rocking it. You are standing up to the challenge, you are walking through it, you’re persevering, and I am so proud of you. So very proud of you, and so very proud to walk alongside you on your journey to living fit, healthy, vibrant, and full of vitality. That is a mouthful. [Laughs] But I am so glad that we are here together, being able to celebrate everything that you’ve done thus far. I know last week we had a little review week, going over the mind, body, nutrition protocols that you have done thus far, the cleanse days, the nourish days, the supplements, how you’re doing with all of that, the eating protocol, in general, with low-glycemic eating. You were able to check in and see where you are. I hope that you were able to look at that and celebrate the places where you have succeeded. Then, on those places where you would like to work a little bit more on or you don’t quite get the step, what it all entails, that you have dedicated some time to spend with that one protocol, one mind, body, nutrition element that will help you succeed even further. Because, remember, this is not about succeeding only in this moment, this is about setting the stage, laying the foundation for you to succeed in eating, exercise, behavioral issues with foods for the rest of your life. This is not about just these 90 days, it is about the rest of your life. That’s what we’re doing here, we are laying a solid foundation so that you have something to land on [Laughs] every single time a hiccup comes along because a hiccup will come along. But they won’t affect you like they did before because you are armed with all the tools you need and a thick, firm foundation so that you know exactly what to do when those hiccups occur and it won’t be any big deal. And you will be living free in a body that is fit, healthy, and vibrant. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?

All right. Welcome, everybody that’s been jumping on. So glad you are here. Hello. Hello, Susan, hello, Patty. Thanks, you guys, for being here. This week is one of my favorite weeks. I love this topic around pleasure. Pleasure is not typically partnered with weight loss, in the dieting world. However, in my world of fat loss and helping people with their behaviors, with foods, and also teaching them the wonderful elements of mind, body, nutrition, pleasure is a big part of it because what we have found is, is that when you feel restricted and like you can’t have anything that brings you pleasure, then you begin to take pleasure out of every area of your life and not just food, and it’s no fun, and people typically fail. Well, I don’t mean typically. Anytime you’re restricted, failure is really the only option there. In my programs, I teach to have pleasure integrated into your day. And pleasure is really fun. Pleasure is not found just in food. It is found in so many areas of your life, and it’s a matter of looking for those areas so that you can add pleasure in so that you are fully there in your life and loving the process of it, loving the process of watching the fat melt away. Yes, this is what we’re doing. Hello, Karen, so glad you’re here tonight. Welcome, welcome. Whoever else has jumped on, welcome, so glad you’re here. All right. So, are you ready to get started? Let’s get started.

Let me share my screen with you so that you can receive the really good information that we have for this evening. Be thinking in your mind when was the last time that you experienced pleasure. Think about that. All right. Let’s see here. For some reason, it is not… There we go. [Laughs] All right. So, I’m going to make myself disappear. Okay. Whoops. Oh, the whole screen went black. Here we are. We’re back, I think. Not really. Okay, here we are. [Laughs] If we have any technical difficulties tonight, please bear with me. If something happens and I’m dropped, I will jump back on. So, just hang tight, and I’ll come back into the webinar room, all right? So, we’re in week six, and this is all about finding your prrr factor. Wow, your prrr factor. When was the last time you felt a prrr in your system? Now, this is a really good question. When was the last time you allowed yourself a prrr when it came to the food you ate? Or did you just eat on autopilot? Now that you have been going slow and you’ve been introduced to the power of slow, you may have had some hints of prrr factor with your food, new dishes you’ve tried, “Oh, this is so good,” right? I know that I find my prrr factor quite frequently with my food. There are just certain things on my palette that just… They just bring out the prrr. That is very important, to find that in food because, typically, our relationship with food is one of a love/hate relationship, one of, “I can’t depend on food because it has gotten me in this situation so I’m not going to find enjoyment out of it.” That’s typically the mindset around food when it comes to those who have struggled with their weight, struggled with being the same size their whole life, struggled with their health. It’s just food is just a means to an end. Well, but food is vitally important in our life. Food is what grounds us. Food is a foundation in our life. And it is time for us to have that kind of relationship where it’s all about love and the prrr factor. All right. So, let’s get moving.

I only have one announcement. One announcement this week is Q&A is on Thursday at 12:00 noon. Q&A, this Thursday at 12:00 noon. And I look forward to seeing you then. So, please send in your questions to info@ashlytorian.com. That’s info@ashlytorian.com, and Ashly has no E, and Torian has only one R. [Laughs] All right. So, Q&A, Thursday. I can’t wait to see you there.

Now, one thing you want to check into today is you have seen the affirmation on the right side, you have seen that quite a bit in this program. That is because I feel it is vitally important for you to step into that belief that you are a strong, healthy, and fit individual that makes wise decisions. You are. And the only way to do that is to start with that thought, the thought that you are strong, “I am strong, I am healthy, I am fit, and I do make wise decisions.” Begin with that thought. What that thought’s going to do, especially when you add the power of inflection and the power of action, in actionable voice and in movement, that will become a feeling in your body, it will produce an emotion. And when that produces an emotion, that transitions your whole physiology from one of a state of stress, the sympathetic state, to a parasympathetic state, one that is filled with belief, one that is filled with commitment, one that is filled with courage and compassion. And that is where you want to be. That is where you want to live and reside. So, when we fuel ourselves and feed our mind with statements like, “I am strong, I am healthy, I am fit, and I make wise decisions,” that is so true, and that truth will become embedded within you, and you will begin standing firm in knowledge that you are and that is how you show up. Because when you show up this way, that is when you will begin to eat for a strong, healthy, and fit individual. That is when you will begin moving with your exercise program as a strong, healthy, and fit individual, and you will begin living as that person, making decisions as that person. You will begin fueling your mind, your heart, and your emotions according to the person that is strong, healthy, fit, and makes wise decisions. You also bring calm, confidence, and empowerment to not only yourself but to everyone you come into contact with. It’s about being that person as you are getting ready in the morning so that you’re making those decisions about food that are going to energize you, that will bring vitality to your body and your life. That’s what it’s about. It’s eating as that person. Not the person that started the 90-day challenge, you’re not eating as that person anymore. You’re eating as the new person, the person that you’ve transformed into. You’re eating as that person now that eats slow to the point of energy, but you also have created this umbrella of belief that you are strong, healthy, and fit, and you make wise decisions. And that is the persona of you that will carry you through this 90-day challenge and that will also carry you through the rest of your life, living free from your struggle and in a body that is healthy, fit, and strong. Isn’t that wonderful? [Laughs]

It is so beautiful how the mind and body work together when we feed our mind the good stuff. Then, we begin to feel the emotion within us, and that is when we transform. We only transform when we feel the emotion within our body. And that is what today is all about. You will begin to learn how to bring that prrr factor into your life, into your body so that you transform yourself right here, right now. Such a fun and beautiful thing, isn’t it? God just created a wonderful vessel here [Laughs] that just by bringing a thought to our mind and feeling it within ourselves emotionally, that we can actually transform our being, transform ourselves in that moment in less than 60 seconds. In less than 60 seconds. How fun. All right. So, your best is in this moment, on this day. That is what brings you the results you desire. You do your best right here, right now, each and every day. Your best in this moment. And it’s going to carry you through to the next moment, and the next moment, and the next. All right, well… We’ll just wait a moment here. My computer is stuck on a slide. There we go. There we go. I knew it had it in there. Okay, we’re going to make sure I was going in the right direction. Wonderful. Okay. So, let’s talk about pleasure. Don’t you love the fat right here on fire? [Laughs] Do you feel like your metabolism is on fire right now and it is just a fat-burning machine and you are burning it all up? [Laughs] That is what happens when we have transformed our body chemistry by utilizing our emotional energy and producing pleasure. Pleasure is a great metabolic enhancing nutrient. We can bring on pleasure in an instant. The same way we can turn ourselves from a stress state to a non-stress state when we’re about to eat, you can do that same thing with pleasure. Typically, with pleasure, we can just picture something in our mind that brought us pleasure and we can begin to feel it within our body. It can happen that fast with pleasure. It does stimulate fat mobilization, which means you are a fat-burning machine when you are in pleasure. So, there’s nothing better than feeling good and burning fat all at the same time. Now, remember, pleasure chemistry happens when you are in slow, when you’re breathing, when you’re taking in oxygen. And also, pleasure is in the moment. Pleasure is a moment by moment experience. So, when you are in something, whether it is watching children play and have fun, watching your child, or your grandbaby, or a friend’s child that you are very close to, and you’re watching them discover their 10 fingers and 10 toes, the pleasure that that is. The pleasure you experience in your relationship with your significant other, with your spouse. That relationship is so vital, and so important, and so poignant. To just be there in the moment and experience the pleasure of being with them. Taking that time, taking that time to be with your child and receive pleasure from their experiences of what they’re learning in their life. Receiving pleasure from watching a butterfly land on a flower. The pleasure you can receive from watching a hawk fly through the air, or a horse and its baby colt next to it wandering through the pasture. One of my dad’s favorite settings is a pasture filled with cattle. He loves that site and it brings him such pleasure to see it. A rainbow shooting through the sky, arching across the earth. So beautiful. A waterfall at one of your favorite vacation spots. Or it could be where you live. As you’re out walking and you hear a tiny brook trickling nearby, the pleasure that that gives you. The pleasure you receive from feeling strong in your body as you’re exercising. The pleasure you’ll receive as you just sit and be with a person in your life that you love and adore. The pleasure you get when someone gives you kudos and someone gives you accolades for doing something that meant something to them. The pleasure of doing something for someone else, giving them a helping hand, helping the children of M5M. Going on a service trip. Whatever it could be, whatever could bring you pleasure. And I hope I helped fill your mind up with things that bring you pleasure outside of food. When we are in the struggle of an eating behavior, when we are in the struggle of a mindset around food and we run towards food in order to relieve that, we say that we’re getting pleasure from it, but it’s really not a pleasure, it’s a punishment because of how we’re using food. That’s not a place of pleasure, that’s a place of punishment. However, when you can transition and transform your own body chemistry to that of true pleasure and when you’re eating food, any of the new meals that you’ve discovered, or perhaps you have this new recipe for a TruPLENISH smoothie that it just rocks your world [Laughs], that you really love, allow yourself to feel pleasure with the food. It is okay to receive that from food. In fact, it is quite nourishing, and it will transform not only your relationship with food where you will become more wise around food, more responsible, but it will also turn your body chemistry into that fat-burning machine. And that’s what we want. We want to take ourselves from a place of punishment with food to a place of pleasure. Now, you may be asking me, “Ashly, I am doing so good on the TruHealth and I have no cravings whatsoever.” Well, I am so pleased to hear that, that your cravings have subsided, that you are doing so well on this program, and that you are 150% in this. But I am here to tell you that those eating behaviors you have had for the last one, two, three, four, five, six, seven decades are not gone in one month. They’re not. They will come back. They will come back around. And it’s okay that they do. In fact, we welcome them when they do. We welcome the opportunity. When we become punishing with our food, or punishing with our thought patterns around our body, or punishing around anything in our life, we welcome that because it gives us the opportunity to practice pleasure, gives us the opportunity to practice slow, it gives us the opportunity to practice a little bit of compassion and love for ourself. And when you get to practice these elements that you’re learning through this program, you’ll become stronger, you’ll become leaner, you’ll become fitter, you’ll become more vital because you have been given the opportunity to practice. Don’t you just love life? [Laughs] Because it will give you a practice opportunity. [Laughs] So, how is it that we discover pleasure in our life?

So, I’ve got a pleasure activity for you. This is part of it, and it is what does pleasure look like to you. What does it look like? I listed a lot of things on the previous screen of different ways that we can see pleasure and experience pleasure in our life. So, what does that look like to you? Write on a piece of paper right now. Do this. Make sure you screenshot this or take a picture of this with your phone, this screen, so that you can also work on these later. But what does pleasure look like to you, and what does it feel like? Do you feel giddy inside? Do you feel a tickling in your chest? Do you feel like you could just go run, and jump, and play like a 10-year-old kid? Do you feel that childlike zest bubbling up in you when you feel pleasure? What does it feel like? Think back to that last time you felt pleasure. What did you feel in your body? And we want feelings in your body. The reason why I practice this pleasure activity and why I encourage you to practice it as well is because we have become so disconnected from our body. In emotional regulation, we teach people how to feel emotion in their body and to observe it. And as they observe it, that emotion can evolve and go through its emotional lifespan, which is about two to two and a half minutes, and then it will dissipate when we observe emotional disturbances that way. What I have found in this practice is that people have become emotionally disconnected, especially when it comes to their body, and food, and exercise. The reason why is because we have geared ourselves in the last five decades around diet, around restriction, and around, “It is not beneficial for us to love whatever we’re eating, because if we love at it, that means we’re going to overeat.” And that is not what that means. That is not what that means. Just because you love something does not mean you’re going to overeat on it or binge-eat on it. There’s a behavior behind that that needs to be addressed, it’s not the food. The food did not get you in the situation you’re in right now. It’s not food’s fault. It is the behavior or the experience that happened that used that as the issue, as the problem. It used that as the excuse, as the fallback guy. It’s not food itself. And so, we want to reconnect our mind and body, get them in sync together. That’s the reason why we did all of the mindful eating and the eating to the point of energy because we start with food, we change how we appear with food. And when we change how we are with food, it is only then that we can change further in our life, in other experiences. Because how we do food is how we do life. How we show up with food is how we show up in life. How responsible we are in our food life is how responsible we are in the other areas of our life. So, we want to reconnect our mind and body together. So, that’s what you had been doing these past five weeks, is learning how to get the mind, body communicating together again so that you can feel the emotions that you feel. Only then can you really feel what pleasure is like. Now, how often do you experience pleasure? Do you allow yourself to experience it once a day, once a week, once a month, once every six months? I have run into some people, but they could not tell me the last time that they felt pleasure, that they felt a giddiness in their heart. Couldn’t remember the last time. Wow. Allow yourself to feel pleasure in every area of your life, that giddiness, that childlike zest that just wants to come out and play. [Laughs] Now, I want you to discover what triggers pleasure for you. Find out what are those little things that trigger it. Do you find that you have to be quiet and still or do you find you just have to be mono-focused on that one thing? What triggers it for you? Does a sunshiny day all of a sudden just trigger pleasure for you, and you think, “Okay, it’s going to be a great day if the sun’s shining.”? [Laughs] Or maybe for you, “It’s a great day. It’s raining.” What triggers pleasure for you? Any person? Anything in your life, what triggers pleasure? And then, one way to practice pleasure and to begin integrating more pleasure in your life is how can you make your current task more pleasurable. So, let’s say you are paying bills. Typically, people don’t enjoy that. So, how could you make paying bills more pleasurable? What could you do to make it more pleasurable? Turn on your favorite music? Have a different mantra in your mind when you’re paying bills? Have gratitude for each one that you’re paying? What are other ways that you can make a task more pleasurable? When you’re eating your meal, what could you do to make it more pleasurable? Light candles? Eat off of your beautiful china? Drink out of a glass instead of a plastic cup? [Laughs] What can you do to make your relationships more pleasurable? What could you do to make a current relationship more pleasurable? That is a really good one. That is a really good one to spend some time in. How can you make a relationship more pleasurable. Number one, by being all in, all there, all present. Listening makes it more pleasurable. Laughing certainly makes it more pleasurable. Laughing at the silly things. That’s always pleasurable. [Laughs] And then, conversations. How could you make a conversation more pleasurable? And a chore. Folding laundry. How do you make that pleasurable? It’s finding whatever mundane task, or chore, or anything else, your exercise life, your eating life, your work life, your career… How can you make everything that you do more pleasurable? Because the more pleasure you bring into your life, the more pleasure you will feel in your body chemistry, the more fat you are going to burn. Is that not fantastic? The more fat you will burn, the more pleasure you feel, the more fat you burn. That is a major win-win, a major win-win. I say, “Yes. [Laughs] Give me more. Give me more.” All right. So, remember, it is not about being perfect, it’s about effort, it’s about putting forth the next step, just taking the next step. That’s all you have to do, is take the next step. And when you implement that effort into your life every single day, that’s where transformation happens. And that’s what you all are doing on this 90-day challenge. You are experiencing transformation every day because you are taking a step towards true health every single day. Congratulations. So exciting.

Your change is occurring as you speak. You are transforming as you’re sitting there listening to my voice. You are transforming in this moment right here, right now. Just keep going. Just keep going. So, a reminder for you is to practice the mind, body, nutrition tools daily. Get out your notebook. I hope you’re making up a notebook of all of the week’s material. Make up that notebook, look through it. I am a proponent of reading part of it every single day. All of it or part of it, read through it every single day so that it stays top of mind and you know those nutritional tools inside and out, upside and down. Practice them daily. So, breathe often, quiet your mind, and stand firm in your desire for your success. Stand for you. Stand for what you want and you desire in your life. There is nothing in this world that is worth you sabotaging yourself in this effort to live healthy, and strong, and fit, and a person that makes wise decisions around food and exercise all the time. There is nothing in the world that is more important than that, and the reason why is because of this. If you do not take care of yourself, you cannot take care of the loved ones in your life. It is only when you are in a place of strength, and vitality, and good health that you can care for your loved ones and be the person that they need in their life. That’s the only way you can serve them. Taking care of you, to breathe often, to quiet your mind, quiet your mind, and allow, allow yourself to just be so that you can receive pleasure in your life. Yes, and stand firm in all your desires. Yes. I hope you have a fantastic week, a fantastic week. Just remember, you’ve got this. You do, you have this. You are a strong, healthy, and fit individual, who makes wise decisions, who brings calm, confidence, and empowerment to not only yourself but to all of those that you meet and come into contact with. I am celebrating all that you have done, and all that you are doing, and all that is to come for you.

I’m so excited. All right. Stay tuned for more to come. We will have Q&A later this week. And also, I will be getting out more information to you on Facebook. Stay tuned for that, and I look forward to seeing you next time.

Hello and welcome to week five of our NewYou90 Challenge. You guys are doing so good. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for being here, engaged, present, and persevering, and just continuing on. Any time we start a new protocol for eating, exercise, stress management, soulful workouts, it takes time to integrate that into our life. We will have hills and valleys, and that’s okay. That’s part of the learning process, so please have patience with yourself. Tonight is the night that we are going to check in and review. You’ve been on this for a month, little more than a month. Some of you longer than that, but in this challenge it’s been a month, and we want to recognize all that you’ve accomplished, all that you’ve learned, and see what you’ve been able to integrate. Seeing what you’ve had trouble integrating with, and for you to really be able to look yourself in the eye, and see what you have not been able to do, and the reasons why.

What is the holdup on some of them? Sometimes, it’s just because it’s a lot, and you’ve got to take it one step at a time. If an emotional occurrence or an emotional disturbance happens whenever you think of practicing one of the techniques that I’ve taught you, then that means it needs to be addressed. Anytime anything causes an emotional disturbance, that is a question mark. That is a place for you to see what’s happening and to see where the disturbance is coming from. All right, you guys! I’m going to begin showing my slides with you. Bear with me. Hang tight while I get that shared.

We are back. I am so happy to be here with you tonight. I love technology, because it allows us to get together, and every once in a while we have a user hiccup. [Laughs] But that’s okay. We are continuing on. Welcome to week five. This is the time for us to check in, and not only check in with the protocols that we have put in place, but also to check in with our mindset. Our mindset, and you may be asking, “Okay. How’s my mindset got anything to do with this? I am rocking on this! I am 100%! I am going,” and I am so glad that you are! Our mindset is key. Any time we begin a new program, and we’re excited about the results, we’re going to get the results. We are getting the results that we are living. We find that our mindset is right in line with this. What happens a little bit further down the road is, because our mindset is being geared towards another channel that it may float into that, right now, while you are feeling so strong-minded, it could float in, in the next month or so, maybe even after the third month. However long it takes for your old patterns to catch up with you, just know this. Your patterns are going to catch up with you. You’ve had them for far too long for them not to. Just know this, and just trust in the process, that it right now is great. Right now, you are just going strong. You’re catching on to the TruHealth system, how it operates, how to eat macronutrient-balanced, how to eat high-quality, how to eat the low-glycemic, all that is just flowing, and you’re doing really good. Just know, do not be so naive as to think that those patterns that you’ve had in the past are not going to show up, because they will. The purpose of tonight is to check in, so that you can integrate those tools that you’ve learned that much more. That much more, these tools are going to be integrated in with you. This is a key week, right here right now, is key. The stronger we create these techniques and tools that you’re learning, the stronger you will be when that pattern shows up. You’ll be armed and outfitted with the tools necessary to eliminate that pattern. Here we go! I’m going to hide me, and let’s get started.

We have accountability partners, and I believe everyone is matched up now, at least those that have reached out to me. If you do not have an accountability partner, please message me, and let me know, and let me do another announcement. [Inaudible 00:04:47] important for you to have someone you can lean on, somebody you can text and say, “Hey, this is what I had for breakfast. What did you have?” [Laughs] Or, “Hey, it’s three o’clock. I’m really craving something. Talk me out of this.” Anything. An accountability partner is wonderful. Be sure and continue working with that person. I suggest you reach out to each other daily to every other day. It doesn’t mean you have to have an hour-long conversation. It means you’re checking base, whether it’s by phone, whether it’s by text, iMessage, FaceTime, whatever it is, and remember these don’t have to be longer than five minutes. You just want to check in with each other. How are you doing with your shakes today? How are you doing with your lean and green meal? How are you doing with the Circadian rhythm? Check each other on the points that we’re going to be going through today. That is your checklist, so that you can check with your accountability partner how they’re doing in each of those areas. You don’t have to cover all of them in one session, just go over a few. Pick three to go through. That list will help you as you move forward with your accountability partner. Also, be mindful that, if you are in this challenge to win one of the prizes, then make sure you have a qualifying purchase, which is one of those bundles that was announced in the very beginning of the program. It’s also on the NewYou90 site. We also posted it on this call and on Facebook for the newsletter. It was in one of those places, but make sure it’s a qualifying purchase. If you have questions about what that is, be sure and let me know. Patty wanted me to let you guys aware that the 10K winner for the 2018 challenges will be announced at Mannafest. I believe they had said in the fall that it was going to be announced in January. They decided to hold off on that and announce it on the stage for the first time in that venue. Stay tuned for that. That is another reason you guys need to get to Mannafest. Be sure and get there. I’m going to be there one of the days. They’re going to have me doing something, and it’ll be Thursday or Friday. Make sure you are there, so that we can meet up and chitchat. I will also, when we’re not in a class together or however they’re going to set that up, I will have a booth. You can swing by and say hello. The Q&A for Facebook Live is on Thursdays. This is when you are typing in your questions to me all week long, and I answer them live to you on Facebook on Thursdays at 12:00 noon. Look forward to seeing you then.

Here is our checklist of 13. Can you believe that in four weeks you have learned how to adopt and integrate 13 items into your new eating management, eating protocols? Pretty amazing, isn’t it? I would like for you to look through this list. Let’s start with the healthy grocery list and shopping expedition. Do you feel you have mastered that? If you feel you’ve mastered it, put an M next to it. If you feel it needs more work, put a question mark or a Q next to it. Healthy grocery list and shopping expeditions. If you need to have a brush-up on what that is and what it entails, go to the prep week coaching call. It was recorded for you. It is in the announcements page. You can also go to the prep week email newsletter that I sent out. It is also located on the announcements page. Next, we have the morning ritual with visualization. Have you worked this one in? We talked about it during prep week and week one, and how vitally important it is for you to spend a few minutes. I’m not talking you’ve got to be in this for 30 minutes, just two to five minutes. If you’re just starting in two minutes, dreaming about what you are going to attain with the 90-day challenge, what is it? What is it you want so badly from this 90-day challenge? Is it more responsibility with food? Is it inches lost plus knowing how to be an eater during your day-to-day activities? Is it adopting an exercise protocol while you are losing inches? Managing your stress? Lowering your stress? What is it that you are wanting? Visualize that, and write it down. Write it down, what you want. Have you mastered that? Is that an M or a Q for [Inaudible 00:09:52] question? Then, mindful eating with breathing. That is when you’re slow. Eating slow, mindful. You’re not doing two things at once. You are only focusing on mindfully eating. You’re checking in with the eating speed. Are you making sure that you’re breathing between bites, you’re putting your fork down between bites, that the bites are not really large, that the bites are small bites, so that you can enjoy the flavors of the food? Have you mastered that? Put an M next to it. Or, is it a Q? Is it still in question? Eat to the point of energy. This is when you stop before you’re full. You’re able to put that fork down. Put the napkin over the plate, so you do not eat any more, and you feel good. You feel energized. You don’t feel like you have to stretch up really tight in order to make space for all that food. You’re comfortable. You’re light. You could go for a walk after your meal, because you ate to the point of energy. I don’t mean a fast walk. I’m talking one of those meditative walks, yes. Cleanse days, how are you doing on your cleanse day? Are you getting in the four TruPures a day? Are you drinking plenty of water? A hundred ounces of water, ninety ounces of water. Are you getting your water up to that point? With the TruPure, that makes it really easy, because you’re getting in, what is it? 16 ounces at a time on those. You ought to be getting it up there and filling the rest in there with water. On your cleanse days, are you getting in the one smoothie a day, TruCleanse smoothie plus the two vegetables the rest of the day with just a few fruits, or are you eating a lot more fruits than you think would be better not to? How are you doing? Then, your nourish days, how well are you doing on nourish days? Are you doing one shake a day or two shakes a day? Do you feel like you’ve mastered that, and you’re doing very well? Do you feel like you’ve mastered the lean and green meal? Ask yourself. How am I with the nourish days? Put an M next to it for mastered it or a Q for question, it’s still in question. Supplementation. How are you doing with your supplementation? Are you getting your products in twice a day, or if you do them three times a day? However it is that you’ve set it up, and that is your goal, how are you doing on your supplementation? Mastered it, or is it still in question? If it is still in question, if you skip, or you miss, you forget, because you hadn’t been taking supplements very long, you’ve never taken them before, and now you’re taking them, and it just is an uncomfortable routine, then listen to my talk at the Saturday training this past. It’s Februaries, Saturday training. You’ll find it at allaboutmannatech.com. In that, I talk about habit transformation and how to bring habits and new patterns into your life easily. You can, in that supplementation issue, will help you with that. Eating rhythm. Are you eating in alignment with the sun? Have you mastered that, or is it still in question? Macronutrient balanced meals, we just discussed that last week. It’s probably still fresh in your mind. Have you mastered it, or is it in question? Food quality. Increasing your food quality. How are you with that? Have you found it easy? have you mastered it? Or, is it still in question, you still are having cravings and following through with those cravings that you had before you started? Food journaling, that’s brand-new, too. I am wanting to check-in with your food. How are you doing? Are you recognizing the amount of food you’re taking in your body? Is it the right amount? The types of food you’re choosing, are those the right amount for you at this point in your life, during this journey? How is your stress level? Are you eating to the point of energy, or are you so stressed that you’re overeating? When we eat in a stress state, we tend to overeat. If we’re eating in a relaxed state, we tend to eat to the point of energy. Eat relaxed. See what else you can find out about who you are as an eater from the food journal. You’re daily and weekly exercise routine, have you mastered that, or is it still in question? Then, meditation and quiet time. I gave you a meditation during one of the week one or two I believe, a meditation that you can use. Have you mastered getting quiet? This is the number one best way to lower your stress. It is, meditation and quiet time, soulful time, prayer, reading scripture, reading any book that inspires you to thought. Not inspires you to go out and get active, and forget about everything, you’ve got to get moving, not that. Something that will bring thought to you, because it is getting to the heart of you, is what lowers your stress, lowers the blood pressure, and has every system of your body functioning optimally. Find that time to get quiet, and begin slowly. Begin with five minutes, and gradually build up from there. You want to look through these, and ask yourself, which items are you celebrating? Look at your list, and which ones do you have an M next to? Those are the ones you’re celebrating. I want you right now to go, yes! I am doing it! I did it! Look at all of the ones I’ve mastered! I want you to really talk to yourself. Self-consciousness cannot come into play here, shyness cannot come into play. You are in your own home, or in your car, wherever you are listening. You can celebrate what you’ve mastered. I want you to really take a moment, right now, to celebrate that. You are so worthy of that celebration. Celebrate what you’ve accomplished. This is a big deal. I do not expect you to have mastered all 13 of these. Not at all, but you want to recognize the ones that you have mastered, and celebrate. Then, the ones that are in question, we look at those, and we go, “Okay. How can I work on one of those this week?” Just one. Whichever one pops out at you, the first right then, that’s the one you work on. The one that just pops up for you, work on that one this week. I also want you to look at this list and see which ones are a real challenge for you. I want you to circle those. The ones that are a real challenge for you, and what I’d like for you to do is, the ones that you circled, that are challenging to you, I want you to message those to me or email them to me, because I can address those on that Q&A. Circle them and send them over to me on the Q&A, or if it requires you and I to talk through iMessage for us personally, then I can do that as well. You and I can do a solo deal on iMessage. Otherwise, circle it and send it to me, so that we can discuss this. I can answer what those hiccups could be on the Q&A. If you need more time with this, after the call I want you to go through it and spend more time deciding which ones you’ve mastered, celebrate them. The ones in question, pick one to work on this week, and then the next week you’ll work on another one. The next week, you’ll work on another one. You only want to take in one a week, because for the next several weeks I’m going to be sharing more things with you, and you do not want to have too much new on your plate. Let’s move on. When you are journaling in your, whether it’s the food journal or a journal time that you do by yourself, whether it’s gratitude journal or your goal journal, whatever type of daily journal you keep, I want you to go through and make changes. What physical changes have you experienced? What emotional changes have you experienced? What shifts in your health and fitness level have you experienced? Your mental, your mindset? How is that right now? The spiritual shifts, as well. Take a picture of this, because I do not believe this was in the email. It was something that I was inspired about over the weekend. Take a picture, and see what changes come up for you from the journal. The reason why I have set aside time for us to check in like this is because when we check in and really review what we’ve done, and make sure we know where we are in our journey, in the process of shifting, and changing, and moving forward, it keeps us from getting sidetracked. Sidetracked from old patterns, sidetracked from behaviors that we’ve had in the past, or just sidetracked with life. It eliminates that. It also eliminates our ability to self-sabotage, which we as humans become really good at that. When you check in, and review, and get real with yourself, celebrate what you’ve mastered, look at what’s in question, see what’s really challenging you, and then journal important changes that are taking place, it helps offset that self-sabotage, because you are celebrating. When you celebrate, you are doing so many things. Pleasure chemistry is shooting off within your body. Any time you have pleasure chemistry, which we’ll be going through this later in the coming weeks, when you have pleasure chemistry going on, you are burning fat. Celebrating what you’ve done is wonderful, and that is a great way to receive pleasure chemistry. Another thing is the brain loves endorphins, and when you celebrate with emotion, you are giving the brain endorphins, and it loves that. It loves, loves, loves to feel good, your brain does. Your brain will want to remember to do those things again, and again, and again when you give it pleasure that way. All of this, also, adds to the reduction of cravings. You will also see a reduction in your cravings when you are patting yourself on the back, feeling good about what you’re doing, because you’re inspired. When you take that time to celebrate, you are inspired. Also, when you see what changes are happening, what shifts, whether physical, emotional, health, fitness, mental, or spiritual, when you are looking at those and seeing those changes that have taken place in just four weeks, oh! It really does build you up. Build up your self-confidence, yes. You won’t be falling back into self-sabotage or cravings, the need to feel good about yourself. You won’t be falling into that, because you will see for yourself. You’ll have proof. Also doing this reduces and eliminates the reduction of mental energy. When we are stressed about how we’re doing on a protocol, and stressed thinking, “Oh, I just don’t have it. I’m not any good at this.” Going through that type of verbiage with the self, over and over again, it depletes mental energy. We don’t want to do that. We want to feel energized. We want to feel mentally alive, mentally clear. The way that we do that is we check in with ourselves, and be honest, and celebrate what we’ve mastered. Take a step forward into what is challenging us and work on it. Step into it 100%. Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by old patterns that may come up. Celebrate what you’re doing each and every moment. Celebrate what you’ve mastered. That’s important. Then, when you’re witnessing these physical, emotional, and fitness changes you have, spiritual shifts that you’ve got going on, oh wow! It’s a time to celebrate. If you look at this and you think, “Wow. I don’t. I don’t have any shifts or changes. I’m not experiencing any of that.” If that is what’s happening with you right now, I would like for you to take a moment to get quiet within. I want you to ask yourself. What one thing was beautiful for me today? What one action step did I take that led me in the right direction? You only need one. I am sure. I am confident in the fact that you did one. Celebrate that one moment, that one step, that one action that you took that put you one step forward. Then, tomorrow you build upon that step. The day after that, you build upon that step. The day after that, you build upon that one. Do not get discouraged. Changes are coming. Changes are happening for you right now. Just keep going. You’ve got this.

Let’s visit for a rock-solid mindset. I gave the rock-solid mindset as calm, centered, and certain. You notice that from the dedication I did to my sweet Mama Fred who inspired me to move ahead in the direction of my passion, and that was around empowering people with food, empowering people with their health, empowering people in their life. This mindset, the calm, centered, and certain, remind me so much of her, because that was the way she was. She was calm, centered, she was certain. It was beautiful. It was beautiful to witness, and it was also [Inaudible 00:25:40] so fortunate. I am so fortunate to have had her in my life. I want you to think, right now, think back through the day, and ask yourself. How is my mindset? Was I set to what I’m wanting to do in this TruHealth challenge? Did I have my vision, my goal right in front of me, right at the front of my thinking every single moment of the day or at least three times a day, two times a day, whatever it was, to help you just reach for that. When it is there, top of mind, it draws us. It helps pull us, and it actually shoves us up towards it, so that we are reaching that goal, and we’re taking steps every day to reach the goal. That is another way that you can use that visualization, is to continually have that picture in your mind of what you are accomplishing in this 90-day challenge, so that you are being draw towards it every single day. One way that you can do that is by seeing it through your visualization. Then, you feel it. You hear this from me a lot. Any time you have emotional energy, emotional physiology flowing through you, you are setting something in stone. The kind of physiology, emotional physiology we want is the good stuff, is the joy, the happiness, the yay! [Laughs] That’s the type of emotion we want.  If you’ll notice, if you have the other emotion, the anxiety emotion, frustration, irritation, worry emotions. If you are experiencing a lot of those, then what you are seeing and what is coming to life for you in your life might not be what you want. It is wrapped in fear. When we have emotional physiology that is in belief, it is in joy, it is in happiness, it is in love, then that is the place where we are experiencing what we are wanting to create for ourself in this 90-day challenge. You want to feel the emotional physiology of your vision. You see it, and then you feel the vision within you. Get excited about it. What does it feel like to already be in that body that you’re wanting to create at the end of this 90-day challenge? What does it feel like? For you guys, does it feel like, “Yeah! I can stand up straighter,” standing taller, chest is out, stomach is drawn in? You feel confident. You feel strong. You feel masculine. Women, how does it feel to be in that body that you are wanting to attain? Does it feel slim and trim, and like you can move lightly, you’re lighter on your feet? You have this joyous expression on your face, and your shoulders are held back, and oh! You just are open to receiving. If you’ll notice, those two feeling experiences are different between the masculine and the feminine. That is because we as masculine and feminine witness and experience emotional physiology differently. I did it to where the masculine was feeling more of the masculine traits and the woman was feeling more of the feminine traits. They can cross over a little bit, because we are all a little bit of the other, of the opposite sex that we are, but you are majority. If you’re a woman, you’re majority female. If you’re masculine, you’re majority male. You do have a few traits of the opposite sex, because that helps us get along. [Laughs] It helps us be attracted to one another. However, in this, when you’re seeing it and feeling it, most likely your experience as a woman will be completely different from that of a man, and that’s okay. Women are going to be more open, receptive, nourished. It’s going to be more about nourishing others, nourishing self, being connected, whereas the masculine is going to be more about strength and vitality, and warrioresque. He’s a warrior. That’s going to be most of the emotional physiology he will feel. Feel it. Do you get it? I’ve got to spend some time with that, but it’s so vitally important. Then, the be it. Once you’ve felt it, you are witnessing how it feels to be it. You just wear it. It is your clothing for the day. It is your clothing, and that is what you wear. You are being it. You feel it to the very marrow of your bones, and then when you are there, and you’re being it, and then I love the declaration. You declare it. You declare what you are. You declare who you are. I am victorious. I am a victorious challenger. I am strong. I am worthy. I am so loved. I am vital. I am redeemed. I am valuable. Whatever your declaration is, write out that declaration. Put it on a note card, and stick it on your mirror, and you read that every single day, your declaration. That declaration will help you step in to see it, feel it, be it. When you wake up in the morning, you’re brushing your teeth, you look up at that. I am victorious. Yes, I am! All the sudden your vision will come to your mind. You’ll begin to feel your emotional physiology flow through you. You’ll understand what it is to be that vision, to be the one who was the champion at the end of the challenge. Yes. That is what the declaration can do for you, and the declaration, you can say it wherever you are, whenever you want, during the rest of the course of the day, and it will anchor you. It will root you back to your vision, back to what you are achieving in this 90-day challenge, and back to what you want so much. It is your top-of-mind goal. That is the rock-solid mindset. That is the champion mindset. You are calm, centered, and certain in what you are going out to accomplish, and what you are attaining, and who you are being, all at the same time. Powerful, yes.

I’d like for you to take a moment and just be with you. This is what I’d like to leave you with today. Your body is not your masterpiece. Your life is. It is suggested to us a million times a day that our bodies are projects. They aren’t. Our lives are. Our spirituality is. Our relationships are. Our work is. Stop spending all day obsessing, cursing, perfecting your body like it’s all you’ve got to offer the world. Your body is not your art, it’s your paintbrush. Whether your paintbrush is a tall paintbrush, or a thin paintbrush, or a stocky paintbrush, or a scratched-up paintbrush is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that you have a paintbrush which can be used to transfer your insides onto the canvas of your life, where others can see it, and be inspired, and comforted by it. Glennon Melton.

I hope that inspired you today. I am so proud of you. Check-in reviewing is a hard step to take. Not hard. It is, it can be intimidating. It can be intimidating, especially when there’s been so much that you have been opened up to in the last four weeks. I am so proud of you. I’m so proud of you for all that you’ve mastered and all that you are working towards every single day to master. You have got this. You do. You are strong, and you are victorious. You are so victorious. Have a wonderful week. I will check in with you on Facebook Live on Thursday for a Q&A at 12:00 noon. I look forward to seeing you then. Be sure and send me in your questions. I would love to answer them for you. Have an awesome week. See you later.
