Shape Your Own Universe

In my own transformational journey, I have noticed one key pattern that always takes me to where I want to be - intentional action. But the action that creates transformation takes good strategy and planning.

The main problem for most of us is that we feel overwhelmed, we don't know where to begin, we might not feel capable, or we feel we don't have what it takes to pursue our goals consistently. Because of that, we feel stuck, self-sabotage, and feel powerless.

But I assure you: this is not the reality. You have the power to do and create whatever you wish in life - you have been perhaps only using the wrong method.

I dug into my past, talked, and observed how other people with challenging and limiting backgrounds could overcome difficult situations and accomplish amazing things in life.

I noticed the pattern and this was the basis for me to create the formula that has been changing the lives of many of my followers and clients - The DPA formula.

Soulful Discovery + Mindful Strategy + Intentional Action = Change and True Transformation.

The belief and trust we hold in ourselves, the universe, or whatever you name it per se is already powerful but combined with a solid process, and a plan, the potential of what can be accomplished is limitless.

I do believe in the whole, I believe in willpower, but also that discipline is critical to attaining anything we want in life.

This is why I have created the DPA formula™. This is the foundation for successful transformation and I want to share with you today, how implementing this formula to whatever you do in your life can lead you to success.

Want to learn more about how this formula I created can change your life?

Send me a message with the word "DPA" and I will share all the details about it with you!

This month my chosen book to share with you, my lovely community, is Abundance Now by the one and only Lisa Nichols!

If you know me well, you know how much I admire Lisa Nichols, I am always talking about here. She is one of my primary “Virtual Mentors”. This women’s personal story is one of the most inspiring I have ever heard and, of course, I cannot help but to relate to her challenging background. Although I wouldn’t, by any means, compare myself to her, because I know that I have had many other birth privileges. But also I came from a very limiting background, I have been told over and over again that I wasn’t enough, that I wasn’t good enough for this and that, I have been working hard my entire life, and now I am building my empire.

To be like that, to build something like this, it takes much more than people cheering from you and money. It takes resilience, courage, self-love, self-trust, confidence, energy, and much more!

But MAN, this woman inspires me!

This book made me let go of my fears and jump with all my heart into my coaching business.

This book has IT ALL.

-Amazing real-life stories to inspire you
-How to live an abundant life in ALL areas of your life
-How to get into the right mindset to go after your dreams
-How to let go of what’s holding you back from your dreams
-How to believe in yourself and your potential

And so, so much more!

In some of the coaching programs I offer, this is one of my gift books. Especially, when I am working with clients coming to me with a full intonation to completely change their lives and seeking the mindset, the courage, and the energy to start working towards their dreams. I take a LOT from this book to help out my clients and a lot of the concepts she brings up in this book entangle a lot with other coaching techniques that combined can be super powerful.

If it’s possible for you to get it, I 100% recommend that you read this book.
I hope you enjoy it!

We think we are doing everything right, but somehow, we feel stuck, like we are not going anywhere.

Here are 3 of the main beliefs/fallacies we stick to when it comes to our self-development journey that might be keeping us from achieving our goals:

🎁 Reward yourself after every small victory - If after an entire successful week of exercise and eating well, you “reward” yourself with some lazy time and eating all you want - then you are self-sabotaging.

Rewards are the results of the hard work you put in. In this case, could be: Feeling amazing with yourself.

🥳 Celebrating your victories is way more appropriate.
After a week of exercise and eating well you celebrate with a loved one, you go out, you drink a glass of champagne, you can even go out for a special dinner - but not jeopardize your hard work and break the consistency of your efforts.

🎯 Focusing on the goal - This is not helpful, because every single journey has setbacks and it’s natural to, sometimes, feel stuck, hit a wall, or something like that. If you feel that you are not getting closer to your goal, you will lose motivation.

🛣 Focusing on the journey, on the small victories, turning things enjoyable, and creating a curious and puzzle-solving mind make things way lighter and enjoyable.

🧠 Mindset is everything - Mindset is important. There are many ways you can work on your mindset BUT, if you have someone telling you that things are not working because you don’t have the right mindset, then that’s bulls***.

👷 Putting in the work and seeing the results is the best thing to keep you motivated and with the right mindset.

The Work comes first to start working on the best mindset. Not the contrary,

Make sure to always question your beliefs and, most importantly, if you’ve been trying something for a long time that is not working, think and research new ways to try it.

If you feel that this is overwhelming and a lot of times you simply feel stuck and don't know what to do - look for expert help from professionals that are known for constantly updating themselves, and experimenting with new things.

I know, this image quality sucks.

But this is the picture of the first time I could make a cool yoga pose.
It took me almost a YEAR to accomplish that because I didn't have any strength in my upper body.

Yoga was the first time I ever exercised in my life. Before practicing it, I hated any kind of exercise, going to the gym, or any kind of sports.

Yoga changed my life.

Yoga made me so confident in so many different ways!

- I found out that I was capable of way more than I thought I was.
- It made me stronger - mentally and physically
- It made me want to do other kinds of exercises, that once hated because it gave the confidence and the motivation
- It led me to a journey of self-love, self-awareness, and deep self-care

I can say with confidence that yoga was my starting point to be exactly where I am today - to be courageous and learn that I was able to do ANYTHING I wanted in life.

Yoga is WAY more than poses (Asanas). Once you start diving into its philosophy and start absorbing its teachings, life becomes easier, you seek peace, you seek awareness, and a life of love, kindness, and compassion.

Yoga is my thing and I like to recommend it to people when appropriate, but I don't preach it to others.
I preach movement. I preach to you to find something, an exercise, a movement activity that fits who you are.
Because it is not only about the type of exercise, its about the movement itself and creating more awareness of your own being.

Movement is good for the body and for the soul.

One of the questions I ask my clients in their very first session is:
How do you bring movement into your life?

Movement is key for becoming more confident, taking your deserved space, expressing yourself, and becoming aware of your mind and body needs.

How do you bring movement into your life?

If you want to learn more about how you can discover which is the right movement for you and how you can start making it part of your day-to-day life, just send me a DM with the word MOVE and I tell you more about it.
