Tree of Life Education Center

11/05/2018

Hi friends,

I embarked on an endeavor in January to offer virtual retreats and a program called Reset Your Defaults. As you know the organization that offers these is called Tree of Life Education Center. I came to realize that most of my time was being spent on caring for our rescues so decided to start a nonprofit animal sanctuary. In July that became a reality.

Our virtual retreats and Reset Your Defaults program are now a funding mechanism for the nonprofit animal sanctuary. Tree of Life Education Center is the overarching corporation and Revelation Gardens and Reset Your Defaults are two DBAs under the Tree of Life Education Center umbrella.

Since I haven't communicated in a while I wanted to give y'all an update about what we are doing.

You can still experience the amazing rejuvenating qualities of the virtual retreats and the restorative elements of Reset Your Defaults only now your retreat fees will support rescue-pets living at Revelation Gardens!

Be blessed

Two days ago I had an epiphany!

It wasn't something I didn't already know but somehow it clicked and just made sense. I had that AHA moment.

For quite some time I have struggled with finding enough time in the day to do what needs to be done and I always put self care last, which really equates to exercise. I have set goals, created affirmations, and started new programs only to quit shortly after. The ironic thing is I teach on this very subject yet somehow I was not able to stay consistent myself.

So a few days ago I found myself repeating similar thoughts ... if only I had more time, if only I had more money, if only I had a better exercise bike, if only.... But this time I had asked my husband if he wanted to get healthy with me--ya know change how we eat, engage in simple exercise, etc.--and he wasn't really interested. So I found myself thinking well if only he would...then I would.

I paused and realized how ridiculous that was. I was basically saying I can't get healthy unless he does. I sat there for a moment and it hit me, I always say similar things to myself: If only [fill in the blank] then I would exercise, I would take better care of myself.

The epiphany: It isn't anything outside myself, it is me! I have the ability to be healthy because I take the actions necessary, period. It isn't about having the time or money or a different exercise program or better exercise equipment or if my husband does. It comes down to me!

If I really want something I find a way. I realized more fully that if I want something in life I need to do it. I need to be disciplined and consistent. And yes in the beginning it can be difficult but once it becomes a habit then continuing becomes easier and more enjoyable.

So the bottom line: it isn't something outside of myself, it is me and only me that can change how I feel and what I choose to do. The only thing we can truly change in life is ourself, our perception, our attitude, and the actions we take.
