Hitting Pause in Panama

Self-care doesn’t come naturally to me. I have to constantly remind myself to pump my own brakes. I schedule pauses and even set alarms as reminders to breathe…deeply, consciously. And while mini-breaks certainly help, sometimes you gotta go big.

Over the recent holiday weekend, I did just that. I took a BIG BREAK. I swallowed up a huge dose of self-care. I surrounded myself with positivity, intelligence, and love. I attended the She’s Creating An Empire Women’s Retreat in Panama led by one of my ultimate Sheroes, Melanie Greenough.

The yoga, the content, the community of empowered women, the inspiration…I could feel my cortisol levels gracefully falling with every minute. It was glorious.

I took a lot of notes and happily captured quotes. Here are a few of my favorite quotes that I thought you'd enjoy too:

• What you tune into, you turn into it.
• Reactions are like a boomerang. What you put out is exactly what will be returned to you. 
• Negative thoughts and self-doubt will come...but they need your permission to stay. 
• I am fearless.
• I am the master of my destiny.
• Anything is possible when your passion and prowess are running the show!
• Your community is your currency.
