We’re all smiles over here…😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Bahaha KIDDING —— 👇🏻REAL TALK 👇🏻

While there are so many smiles and love and laughter and my heart couldn’t possibly be more full, happy and grateful for my little man, motherhood is no F*CKING JOKE.

Thank YOU to all my mama friends who are here supporting me. By telling me you’ve experienced the exact struggles I am going through right now, I know I’m not alone and that everything is ok and normal and this reeeeaaalllyy hard part will pass.

The. Sleep deprivation. Napping. Feeding. Pumping. Constant clinging. Worrying. Trying so hard to do your best but never feeling like it’s enough. Shall pass.

It will evolve. Not necessarily be 100% easier, but different and better in some ways.

I look forward to that time but I also am here for this time.

Present, welcoming, practicing, showing up, doing my best, giving my all while tryyyyyying to take the pressure off so I can enjoy it while it lasts.

Praise to all the mamas out there. I see you. I love you. You are doing an amazing job.

This lil nugget is FOUR WEEKS TODAY 🥳😆🥹

This photo is from when he was 10 days old. He’s 28 days now and has grown so much - 11.2 pounds!

It is a must that I give a huge shout out to my support crew who have been by my side since our lil nugget was born (and before too):

1. My main squeeze , thank you for being the best daddy there is out there! You have been providing for us non stop with plenty of daddy son time and always making sure we’re fed and rested - all while running a business (and taking care of the dog!) 🥰 Hearing you sing to our son and step into fatherhood has been so beautiful and amazing to witness. I love you!

2. We wouldn’t be doing so well without the help of my mama, Grandma Kim, who has been helping with aaaalll things (laundry, recycling, cleaning, doggy duty) around the house pre and post birth plus taking early mornings (and afternoons and whenever) with Atlas so I can squeeze in a few extra hours of sleep. We love you Granny!

3. Nana Jayne and Granddad Andrew were here for 2 weeks and such a wonderful help! You encouraged us to go out on a date sans baby with total confidence and if you weren’t holding him, you were helping around the house. Thank you so much, we miss you already!

4. All my friends who have sent well wishes and meals our way! You have been the biggest help! Thank you soooo much! You know who you are and we wouldn’t be feeling somewhat sane without your support and love.

It literally does take a village and I do not take for granted how blessed I am for this support 🥹🙏🏻🩵

Anybody else feeling that full moon hangover? 🌕😵‍💫

Allow yourself to feel. 🫣
Trust in the Universe. 💫
You are exactly where you're meant to be. 💖

In the words of my favourite meditation teacher, Sarah Blondin:
"Fear in these times is useless. Trust, however, is paramount."

Oh yesssss....🤤 TRUST.

In my last post, I said I would update you on the rewiring of my new beliefs & here it is folx ⇢
DAY 15/30 COMPLETE & BIG CHANGE IS HAPPENING! How so?

1. As mentioned in that original post, it all started with my consistent mediation practice combined with me getting sick and going all negative which gave me huge clarity that my limiting beliefs were STILL very present and lurking in the backseat trying to drive my life 😟

2. Seeing my limiting beliefs with this crystal clear clarity kinda grossed me out 🤢 which gave me huge motivation to change 'em. I could really see how damaging they were to my life and I was fed up! 😤

3. The fed up-ness drove a deep intrinsic motivation to change and in turn this ignited a stronger than ever commitment to show up consistently in my new practice of re-writing my beliefs and actually do the work. I wasn't settling for a half ass attempt. I was ready to change these beliefs once and for all.

3. The commitment to show up & write my new beliefs out for 30 days straight without fail, no matter what, at first led to simple memorization of the new beliefs. After about 5 days, I knew them off by heart. I would write them without looking at yesterday, recite them when I walked, repeat them when meditated and say them when I went to bed.

4. About 8 days in is where things started to shift…the memorization led to integration. Knowing my new beliefs so well and repeating them so often caused my brain to do something different. Before its usual knee jerk reaction to go to old beliefs, it started to slow down, reconsider, ponder, then before the old beliefs seeped in, I was there to swoop in, re-wire and reinforce a new one.

5. Here’s where the magic started to happen about 11 days in. The memorization, integration, slow down and reinforcement became easier. The new beliefs were becoming the go to! I was experiencing the shift. I could feel the work working. I actually was seeing and believing I can do this!

6. = EVEN MORE MAGIC - Day 11-15, I am now in awe of myself, my brain, my body, my commitment. I'm literally changing my beliefs and it feels so good to be this person for me. I love me!

Did you know that defaulting to a negative mindset is actually ingrained in our DNA? Yes, we are wired to focus on the negative 🤯

It's called and it's a doozy. Neuroscientists trace it back to when we were hunters over 120,000 years ago and needed to be constantly on alert from saber tooth tigers and what not. Unfortunately, this sneaky lil thing has stuck around cause times change quickly but DNA don’t.

The good news is you can literally rewire your brain cause 🧠 which allows us to train our brain to create new thoughts, new beliefs, new habits and eventually a new life. You can start today by committing to developing a GROWTH MINDSET.

Neuroscientist, Risk Hanson, suggests a quick and easy three-step method to doing this called the NOTICE-SHIFT-REWIRE. A course I just completed called 'Access to Power' suggests something similar: STOP-NOTICE-GIVE IT UP. Buddhism and other spiritual practices call it self-awareness, presence and non-attachment.

Do research and pick a way to master your mindset. Commit to it. Cause mindset literally determines how everything goes in your life.

I recently had Covid (which is why I've been MIA #😅) and what I noticed while I sick was that HOLY does my mindset take a dark, defeated turn towards the negative when I’m not well. I realized that even as a Coach I still have a huge opportunity to develop resiliency in my OWN mindset so that is UNSHAKABLE when my health (mental and physical) is good and not so good.

Therefore, I’m adding a new challenge to my ongoing 90 day self discipline/meditation challenge.

How? 👉🏻 I determined 10 negative biases I have towards life and I rewrote new ones that are positive and align with what I want. Then, every morning I am writing out each new belief in my journal. I’m doing this for 30 days in addition to meditating. I’m already 5 days in and noticing a huge difference 🙌🏻

I’ll keep you posted. Let me know if you want to try something like this out too or if you have any questions! 💫💕

✨MY VISION BOARD✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👩🏼‍💻 Technology can be a great thing sometimes, hey?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been wanting to make a vision board for quite some time but alas magazines are a thing of the past and I never got around to sourcing them out and doing my vision board until now. LOOK AT HER 😍 I'm so proud!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This happened cause other day I got the idea of creating a digital vision board and, voila, Canva for the win! You can sign up to Canva for free, then simply search Vision Board and tons of templates will pop up. IMPORTANT BONUS: Once you're done you can easily send your creation off to be printed at a local Staples so you can have a hard copy to look at every day - DOUBLE WIN 👀🙌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those new to vision boarding, here are my simple steps ⇢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Reflect on your life and what you want for it over the next 1, 3, 5 or 10 years through a journaling or meditation exercise ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Pick approximately 4-8 areas of your life (personal, professional, financial, health, adventure, etc...) to focus on when creating your board⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Create it how you want it - it's your board, make it EXACTLY as you want, there's no right or wrong here⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. When searching for images, quotes, words and/or sayings make sure they moooove you and depict your exact vision for that areas of life⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Have fun, don't take yourself or life too seriously, try not to get caught up in minor details, it's all about the vibe and energy you put into it⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Print and post your vision board somewhere you can see it, then continue to read and engage with you every day⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. Watch your vision unfold as time goes on 💖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who else is making a vision board for 2021? I would love to hear if you have any other tips and how it went for you down below 👇🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hello my loves! Wishing you a safe and happy holiday szn ✨❤️ With 2022 around the corner, I want to remind you that a NEW YEAR does not mean that it's time for a NEW YOU. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sure the new year brings a sense of renewal, but what I've come to know is that an ALIGNED ME, meaning my head, heart and body are aligned, is the key to my life flowing and feeling good. And, staying in alignment with myself is an essential practice that I stay on top of all year 'round.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whenever I'm off course, not feeling good, or straight up depressed I've learned it is because I'm out of alignment and pretending I want to BE or DO something that in reality I do not want to BE or DO. I'm pretending like hell (for one reason or another) that I do but eventually that s**t starts to eat away at my entire life. Yikes - I must realign, like quick! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The tendency to pretend can be conscious or subconscious, but for some reason it's deeply ingrained in many of us. We feel as though we HAVE or NEED to do something even though we DON'T WANT. It's strangely normalized in today's world, but when you think about it, it's an act of self abandonment which doesn't honour YOU, nor is it a way to live YOUR best life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been practicing alignment for years and it takes courage to keep looking and re-aligning your life day after day, week after week. It's a practice that never ends but it's so worth it. For YOU.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to show you how to align your head, heart and body and maintain the practice of it once and for all. You deserve to live your most powerful, happy, aligned life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep your eyes peeled on this space for more information on this topic. I will be offering a few FREE workshops + introducing mini courses and more in depth coaching programs all on the subject of Alignment in 2022. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can start today by asking yourself - where have I been pretending in my life?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Here's to a New Year and an Aligned You.✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Loving you, Kristin

👊🏻 Coaching for your life's big moments, decisions and crossroads can make the difference between analysis paralysis and conquering your dreams. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💥 Knowing you're not alone and having that extra accountability, voice of encouragement and set of eyes and ears reflecting back to you your innate power and greatness is an indispensable gift all humans can benefit from. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧬 Cause let's face it you are human, and I'm here to remind you that you are more than enough in your human-ness and you can have anything and everything want in this crazy journey we call LIFE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⇢ I approach my coaching practice with a holistic lens - mind, body and spirit. I believe it’s so important to acknowledge as a Coach that healing and personal growth is not just physical, mental, spiritual or emotional - it’s all of the above being aligned and working together towards a common goal. This is why you'll see me post about health and well-being in all areas of life. From physical movement to meditation and spirituality to tips on mindset and emotions, I believe it's important that people are informed that our WELL BEING comes from our WHOLE BEING being in alignment in order to fulfill on our life's purpose and find joy, happiness or whatever is it you're after. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💡 Psychologist at Harborview Medical Center, Kristoffer Rhoads, states that, “Meditation is the very intentional awareness of the present moment in a nonjudgmental fashion. It’s simple but not easy.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🗣 Let's say that again: SIMPLE BUT NOT EASY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😅 One of the 'not easy' parts of meditation Dr. Rhoads is referring to is related to 'Tip Numero 2' in this post (hence why it's there): Let go of the need to 'do it right'.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⇢ Doing this is important because the moment we settle in to meditate, our mind/ego wants to take over. It wants to be in control, so as a defense its words come flooding in and question everything. 'Am I doing this right?' 'What's supposed to happen?' 'This is weird.' 'What should I make for dinner tonight?' AND SO ON. This is normal, but 'not easy' to get past. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enter ➡️ 3 Tips for Meditation. Take them to your meditation practice and I know you'll be able to get past your ego's protest in no time!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Begin with tip #1, be super comfortable and focus on your natural breath. Now, when the questioning voice comes in say, 'I let go of the need to do it right'. Here, you are telling the ego that it does not have a hold on you. Let it go and keep circling back to your body in its comfortable position and the natural rhythm of your breath. Enter tip #3: Some days are better than others. Keep going, keep practicing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💫 Today is my 31ST DAY IN A ROW of meditating daily for 90 days, and I can guarantee that it is getting easier for me to move past the protest my ego puts on during the first few minutes of meditation. I feel as though I can 'drop-in' and skip the ego all together. So neat 🤓 🧠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✌️ Ddi you know two meditations are included in The Modern Mystic Wellness Package that are yours to keep for life! 🤓 Go on and ch-ch-check out the MMWP deets in my bio or website ☞ kristinknappwellness.com/modern-mystic 🔮🙏🏼
