Authenticity & Alignment
Behind the scenes, I have been working really hard. My “hard work” these days looks very different from my hard work of building businesses and raising great humans. In this new chapter of living my Nest Life, I am committed to prioritizing myself again, and making self-care and Living HIPP the main thing (because for me it is critical to feeling great and feeling myself, an even better version of myself).
I had a great coaching session, which influenced me to start my Pam 2.0 Instagram account.
Essentially it is me living my life, capturing what I do and why I do it. This works for now as I am feeling called to do more in the world. A spiritual teacher told me that my purpose was to be the steward of my life and really take charge and prioritize my health and happiness and to do so proactively. This year is the first time I really dove in and got to the root cause as opposed to juggling the symptoms.
For me, ADD has been a big area in my life that went unaddressed.
This diagnosis was just misunderstood and not given the attention it needed until now. The good news is I am finally being treated for my ADD (which impacts other areas I will get to at another time). I am in a state of Living HIPP, and I feel like myself again. I have not felt like myself or fully aligned in a long time.
I have learned and relearned that putting Mind/Body/Spirit first and as the foundation of everything, allows me to truly feel good in those areas.
It has taken time to get there (but we never arrive), it is a lifestyle. I am going to share more on Living HIPP and what it has been for me, but not just yet. For now, I can tell you that I am putting my Body/Mind/Spirit as the main priority in my life. It should always be this way, but this girl loses her focus, gets distracted, and gets stuck. I think many can relate as this was true for many of us during Covid.
A big part of what makes Pam feel good is being active and fit.
Not in an expert way, just a daily practice that becomes automatic. I went back to the Yoga studio in January, after lame attempts to start again during Covid. This was a two-year window of feeling lost, stuck, and off track. I showed up even thou I did not want to be there. I felt gross as I had gained weight during the lockdown. In fact, lockdown became my meltdown. I know many can relate to this.
I knew in my heart that I just needed to keep showing up, and just being there made me feel good, even though I did not feel good in my own skin.
Yoga is my thing. it is the one tool that transforms my life in mind/body/spirit. It was 12 years ago that I created Living HIPP based on my transformation with Yoga, Self Care, and making Mind/Body/Spirit a priority. When you have ADD, it is extra hard to stay on track. So I just kept going and going and going. I am in month 5 of consistent Yoga and Self Care. I am being treated for my ADD (more to come on that and some other things) and I am FINALLY getting myself back. It feels so GOOD!
Alignment.
I am in alignment personally and that feels good. I need to do more exploring in this, and fine-tuning as I have not fully aligned with my purpose (and I know that). But for now, I am doing what I am supposed to be doing, all the things that make me feel good (I will be sharing more as I share Living HIPP).
Truth be told, I have not felt myself in years (that is hard to write as I have tried hard over the past years, but never broke through, and I think I know why). I am in this space of discovery right now, not declaring anything, but working on myself and being committed to that, and inspiring others to do the same. There has been a disruption. I don’t know if it was Covid. I don’t know if it was letting go of my resistance. But what I do know is that I am being called to align fully authentically and to speak from that space. Oh man, this scares me. Why do I always end up feeling Fear and wanting to hide?
For now, I am quiet but not silent.
I am doing the work behind the scenes. I am working on my mindset even more (and I do this work but I am really diving in more). I am unapologetic about what I “should” do, and other things that hold me back. I am owning my power and taking it back. Sometimes this happens loudly and sometimes this happens quietly. But for all of us, it should be work behind the scenes and when we are ready, we can then share if we choose to.
One thing I have learned over the years is resiliency.
I am really good at stopping, assessing, and creating a plan to get back on track to create a new path. I have done this personally, and I have coached others to do this. What blows my mind is that what Living HIPP started out as 12 years ago, is not what it is today to me.
I can’t wait to share more, but for now, just come with me on this journey. This Yoga Girl lives her life based on mind/body/spirit and growing in those areas (the fine balance of the whole human experience). I also am going to be writing another chapter to the book, and in that new release, I will be ready to share more. In the meantime, lets build our HIPP life, and prioritize our mind/body/spirit so that our spirit can shine bright.
Namaste! XO
