Say at least 3 kind words to yourself when you wake up every day.

Then feel them, down to your core.

It's not something most people can do effortlessly. We are mind trapped into the illusionary busy world of obligations, schedules, expectations on us and those we place on others.

There's more.

So, start with something simple, short, that costs you nothing but a few seconds of your life each day. ❤️

Reflecting, purging, re-centering. I am sipping coffee out of a favorite souvenir mug while I take one last glance down memory lane.

High school years can affect a person's path in life. Our brains are still developing, the hormones spiking, our desire to fit in or march to our own beat test our strength and resilience.

I was the shy, quiet but bold type. Large girl groups were never my thing. I kept my circle of friends small.

The all girls catholic high school experience was well, let's just say I got the diploma, made lasting friends and moved on...like most of us Abbey girls.

How did your high school years shape your life?

I brought a little Phoenix with me to this beautiful, grounding and truly spiritual land far, far away. This has been my front patio for over 5 weeks and I will move rooms today for the sea views, more bird watching and more breezes! (It's 🔥 🥵 here and the humidity is the constant moisturizer.)

Just a reminder to my clients and friends, I'll be heading back soon with tons of new experiences, more knowledge and now a permanent realization how we can take so much for granted in the Western world.

First a one week road trip for my own ayurvedic treatments and training. I can't wait to share more!

Visit my Restorative Travels by Dr. Melanie page for some highlights. Everything health and healing including will be here❤️🙏🏼

I took myself out last weekend and decided to cheat on myself...

That ice cream was just toooo tempting. And I did not feel guilty.☺️

I bought myself these beautiful handmade artisan sandals two days before. Despite no arch supports, my feet held up pretty well.

The early evening sun, the light breezes, the art, the live music

I soaked it all in because the next 2 weeks were going to be uphill all the way.

Stepping out of your comfort zone and into new fresh environments is a healthy growth.

Does anyone else feel that you don't need to wait for someone else to enjoy a beautiful day?

Finding quiet on a golf range and putting green during hectic holiday festivities was a blessing.

Not a golfer. I just own a set of clubs.

I don't have time to spend on a course. I've never played one.
I prefer the satisfying mobility, brain, and precision exercises on the golf range and putting green.

Swinging clubs on a range help loosen up my shoulders from years of stress and past frozen shoulder and calcific tendinitis (both shoulders). They were debilitating.

The satisfying sound of the driver hitting a ball is a huge stress release. I can shed negative energy and release frustrations on a golf range.

It's been years since I dusted off these clubs, and I'm glad I didn't sell them.

Now I want to dust off the tennis racket.

What sport do you use to release tension?
