As I found stillness tonight  before I rested, I found myself a lil heavy due to a situation that occurred throughout my day. (I know you can all relate to this right! )

The thing is sometimes even when we have the knowledge to shift our mindset, our emotions over power these moments through our thought process..

So if you ANYTHING is weighing you down today.. LET IT GO & don’t overthink it!….cause Remember unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realise that the event is over, you cannot move forward. Be sure to trust that Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about the event or situation anymore. It’s just realising that the only person you really have control over is yourself.

And yes I have been one of them!
Thing is I have invested so much into my self belief, self courage and self love.

But I have still being playing small.  I still get bogged down with distractions.

I still have at times dimmed my light in order to please others .. and I have still been asking the universe for my dreams that are MASSIVE but not conditioning myself enough to contain how much I’m asking for.

This morning when I completed my morning practice. It came clear to me why i truly got pulled into the health and fitness industry and what my vision is.

I love the journey that I’m on. Showing people how to create a healthier lifestyle . Balance their mind and body and support them through training to get a FIT RIG!

Stay true to your heart and get out there to create the life, body and relationships, you absolutely deserve!

Action triggers reaction, and how you react emotionally is a choice in any situation.

I totally believe It’s never overreacting to ask for what you want and need but. It’s all about how you deliver your message.

We all know communication is key, however so many people struggle with this. And in my view It’s understandable if they have been conditioned to believe saying how they feel with create drama.

Remember You’re only responsible for being honest, not for someone else’s reaction to your honesty.

Master how to communicate your wants and needs without attaching to the emotion or having an expectation, so then if it’s not received in the way you hoped.

You can remain more in control of your reaction and accept the outcome with grace and move on

Life is energy, we are all so capable of creating a moment to be amazing or destructive..

Make sure you be the force of high vibrations over low vibrations…

Choose to laugh out loud, over clenching your fists..

Choose to Smile over frowning, choose to understand over confusion,

Choose, happiness over sadness,

Choose trust over fear,

Choose the quiet hearts whisper ,over the minds noise ,

Choose to feel light over heavy,

Choose change over feeling stuck,

Choose appreciation over expectation ,

Choose belief over opinions,

Choose love over hate, and just  choose to fill your day with the most delicious thoughts, and go be AMAZING, the way you were born to be!

Love Marissa xx

The post DO you know nothing can stop u from being the person u choose to be today?! appeared first on Marissa Lewis.

Yet today, the energy i immediately began to feel was different..

it was

VIBRANT

yet nervous

yet excited

yet anxious

yet more exited than EVER!

my energy was rising and elevating quickly and
my thoughts were swirling like a tornado,
it was literally like i was getting shoulder tapped and nudged
by a force that was here to remind me of something Super important.
It was a moment where i truly felt my inner power to
create change in EVERYTHING internally and externally.

do you know what I’m talking about?

There was seriously like 100 ideas downloading

yip

there was

Oh I could do this

OH I could i do that

oh i could create this

or i could create that

Oh I could invest in this

or i could invest in that,.

but hmmm what should i do first?…

i mean shit…

i have this whole day ahead of me

THIS BRAND NEW DAY

new air

new energy

new perspective

new love

new

new

new

new

YOU GET IT RIGHT!

Yes I had ALL of these thoughts.

But the most important one was this

“Marissa you have this brand new exciting day in your hands!

you have all of these opportunities to create love freedom and Joy,

and they ARE AMAZING and will drive you forward to propel your vision.”

this thought alone was INTENSE!

my heart beat started to race

it got faster

and faster

and faster

and faster..

and it was clear to me I had some serious decisions to make

because each of the ideas and that i was

downloading that i know will accelerate my results

all came with a financial investment

and I know I just can’t do them ALL right now.

honestly the vibration of this moment elevated so quickly that

i sat up right and grabbed my laptop to start journalling it all.

Because you know when you wake each day and

you become aware of how powerful these moments really are..

you CAN NOT ignore them,

otherwise the ideas pass

and they “expire” in your mind.
like “poof”

up in smoke and disappear.

So i placed my fingers on the keyboard to start typing…

and BOOOM

frozen..

YES I paused

AND I noticed’ the chaos in my mind right now!

and it LANDED like a G6 plane

Marissa! STOP IT!!!

stop ‘TRYING’ so hard

your getting all flustered AND emotional

Just stop it

and let it flow with ease

so its authentic.

because heres what i know friends.

How you do one thing

is how you do EVERYTHING…

huh say wat??

yes its true

how you show up in one area of your life

is exactly how you show up in other areas of your life

so i STOPPED

and i placed one hand on my tummy, and my other hand on my heart

and i took the deepest breath

I inhaled love and gratitude

and exhaled love and gratitude.

and i quietly asked myself

“Marissa what identity do you need to step into

to create the opportunities you know your soul will respond to the most…

and what is it that my soul needs most right now?”

and holy crap when the answer landed it was like a sheet in the air slowly settling

into gravity…

see heres what else I know

if you can not ask yourself a question and

not only hear the answer

but TRUST the answer

you need to find more peace and silence.

because you must believe all that you

want and need resides with in you

and i won’t lye
this is an area of my life that i am still working on everyday

”TRUSTING’ myself

because although I am waking each day committed to my daily rituals and practises

I AM still learning how powerful mythoughts are

I am still  learning how incredibly powerful having the right

environment is

and

I am still learning that in order to truly show up in an

authentic way

where opportunity happens

is in the flow and happens with ease

I must trust myself ALWAYS

and believe me so should you!

With Love always

The post Trusting Yourself First appeared first on Marissa Lewis.

I believe in Love
I believe in that deep mind blowing
unreasonable
Fierce
Crazy
Beautiful
LOVE!!

what about you?

In fact sometimes I sit here, and think about the capacity in which I have to love
those in my life.
and holy sh*t it EXCITES ME!

See here’s the thing
I believe in order to truly understand love
you must first surrender to it.
and its then, from that moment forward to live a life of happiness,
ALWAYS ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE.

NO MATTER
WHO
WHAT
OR
WHEN

I believe its a process of healing, so you can find your way back to your true authentic self, and live your birth right life, of Freedom, Love and Joy.

Now I’m not just talking about my tree hugging
spiritual gangsta side. LOL
I am absolutely freaken certain that when you stay
open to love, and the possibilities of what love truly is.
Your individual journey and life experience is enriched, magnified to an altitude
that elevates your life experience, in a whole new way,
where more miracles then flow in with ease, every single day.

Today when i was in silence I reflected on all the relationships
I have had in my life
family
friendships,
business
parenting
partnerships.

WOAH! The initial feeling was like a tornado of emotions.
I had to inhale and exhale super deep.
I really have had SO much growth !!

Each experience brought
excitement, pain, confusion, clarity, fear, & unexpected, unreal, divine, funny, moments…
But most of all
every experience showed me something truly magical about myself.
even when at the time I felt like i was going to die (loL)
I Learned something deeper and more profound about myself and what love truly is.

It’s funny because
I often hear people say
“love hurts”
(have you heard yourself say this before?)

Well I call BULLSHIT!

Love only hurts when you have attachments.

I believe love is truly magnificent
love is an honour
love is the essence of our soul
love is AUTHENTIC
love is raw
love is real
LOVE IS YOU!
and when you deny love
you are denying yourself of something
EXTRAORDINARY.

See heres the other thing.

In so many relationships there is polarity, where feminine and masculine energies are not in balance, and then you have that blended in with the different types of  love languages, where each individual responds differently to a predominate value of love.

If you haven’t heard of the best seller book “the 5 love languages” then you need to go read it!

There is a reason this bestseller charts for years, selling upwards of seven million copies and landing on the #1 spot of the New York Times best-seller list. the Author Dr D Chapman has been directly involved in relationship counseling for more than 35 years.

But back to my view how love can “hurt”. When we are hurt by an experience that involves LOVE, or we have attached to the “idea” of love and what it should be like, and that has nplot ayed out the way we wanted,

We often wrap that traumatic experience up, in a little cocoon and unconsciously store it away for a rainy day.  And that rainy day is when a storm brews, over something or someone who triggers it

and wait for it ….

KA BOOM!!! All of a sudden energy shifts & the energy is overwhelming and we can often go into “shut down’ mode, (or what I like to say) is ‘eruption’ mode.

Where we decide “Love is not for me, it hurts too much!!”

Well as i stated above, I call BS!

Because to me understanding love and choosing to believe in the extraordinary feeling & connection you get to experience when you stay open to Love. (weither its lasting or not) IS truly honouring your soul.

What ever you do, make sure you Live with intention and embrace the journey toward self love. Because if you truly love yourself internally, you can then authentically project that love externally toward others with ease and flow.

Love Marissa

The post What does LOVE mean to you? appeared first on Marissa Lewis.

and just flowing as we do with our conscious converations

Something MASSIVE landed for me

It was like when you are standing in the ocean

and you get distracted and next minute a wave hits you

BOOM!

wake up call to the core!

YOU GASP for breath, and even for a second

you get knocked off your feet,

your spinning

and trying to regain where the

surface is so you can catch your breath.

Well thats the process I experience when

something massive lands for me.

What we were discussing

was authenticity, and how I am open as a book on

my social media, but there is still a side of myself

that I don’t show and I only just realised it was

a side that those who are close to me

often say, they admire and love so much about me.

You see 99% of the time I am in a high loving operating space

so truly show my viewers my true self

but there is this 1% that only my family and tribe

get to experience and that is my Sacredly Unapologetic “spiritual gangsta” side

I am always talking about being Sacredly Unapologetic

Its a chapter in my book “From Struggle to Strength”

that I released this year.

It’s where I talk about peeling back the layers to get closer to the core,

and how every successful person has to learn the art of becoming

more and more sacredly unapologetic.

See heres the thing

I show up on social media as ME,

there is no faking

there is raw truth (my truth)

there is real love

and there is fearless conversation when it comes to sharing my views.

but there is 1% of me that is actually the outlet I organically operate on

to process things and shift FAST.

So when i say I’m gangsta

I’m not talking about clothing

or swag (well maybe hahah)

or hip hop

or crime

I’m talking about my personal choice in how I process when something

pisses me off

or frustrates me

or confuses me.

I swear A LOT!

I say the words like

M.F. or F.O. or No F.W. …

or my favourite….

Oh Shyyyyyt

and my posture changes for a split second

and I feel the strength of my inner animal.

Now I don’t fight and I don’t start fights

Its simply my way of processing my experience

make sense??

Well I used to hide it, and think if I was too open to the public i would be judged
(don’t we all go through this phase of caring how others see us!)

UNTIL

My tribe of my most sacred, respected and conscious woman

took a stand that this side of me

was what made me so unique

it was the one thing they agreed on that

they always found so

raw and real about me.

See heres the thing

so many of you will frown upon swearing and profanity

and I understand its not accepted from many religions.

But if you can see it like this

and its exactly how my best friend described it

I walk into the room

If something has happened that has triggered me

I will say out loud

Mutha f8***kr

or

OH for fu(***ks sake

and heres the thing

my girlfriends all laugh and with that I

respond with laughter and as I’m

laughing
I am actually downloading the experince

I’m stepping outside myself to observe why i felt so strongly about the moment

and i grow, i shift and I immediately rise to a higher state

Yes its a PROCESS

its INSTANT

and its FAST

and I truly do love this about myself because it’s who I am

and I LOVE that I do not judge myself anymore because I swear

Its just words, so without attachment i allow them to pierce my state

and serve me in a positive way.

I guess my point is this

from now on I want to always give you all of me

100 percent of my authentic self

so you can choose to continue vibing with me or not.
I only want to call in a tribe who ‘get it”

and who want to be more sacredly unapologetic about

who THEY are.

With Love Always

The post ARE YOU SACREDLY UNAPOLOGETIC? appeared first on Marissa Lewis.

“almost” took on someone else’s reality and energy.

And if I hadn’t have caught myself.

How destructive that could have being for myself, my environment and my reality.

Early hours of this morning (4.30am to be exact), October the 23rd 2016,

I was woken from a very peaceful and deep sleep,

by a high speed chase, from what sounded like it was on the high way.

There were multiple police sirens, tyres screeching,

and what sounded like Formula 1 racing World Series.

The noise startled me as it sounded close.

But then it proceeded to get closer, and closer,

and I realised it was not on the highway,

it was in our neighbour hood.

Now because we live close to the high way, and a police station,

these sounds are not unfamiliar to me.

But there was something so different about this time

compared to other times.

The experience this morning brought me

a completely different vibration.

and some sort of massive awareness.

Why?

Well I’m still trying to figure it out,

because here I was all safe and snuggled up in bed,

yet when I heard the high speed chase, my body was literally pulled out of bed

I found myself standing, still half asleep and my whole body was shaking..

I recall feeling the heaviest weight that something terrible was about to happen

it was like sooooo many things in that mili second were passing through my thoughts

and as I sit here typing this out I still have no idea of the facts or circumstances.

I do not know anyone involved,

I have had no connection to the police

No connection to anything untoward

Yet there was something in this moment

that affected my soul

I stil have no idea why

but as my belief system is that we are all connected and

Energy is who we are and how we vibrate

I am left wondering ….

Why this impacted me so much…
I had all these questions

I was asking myself

was it the fierce realisation of our current third world problems and

how often this happens unnecessarily?

was it the curiosity of what that person, or people

were experiencing in this moment in their life experience

that would allow them to be in the position they were?

was some one innocent going to be hurt?

or was it my obsession to understand human behaviour?

or was it my compassion for all the humans involved both the runners and the chasers

and the innocent bystanders?

But I guess it was simply my compassion for humanity

my passion to improve humanity

and my Obsession with understanding human behaviour

that got me so caught up in the experience .

After the 30,000 thoughts that raced through my mind

I began to notice my breath was short

my shoulders were high

my arms were folded and

I was closed off,

and then

BOOM

it hit me

my imagination was on fire

I started to create thoughts and feelings

that had nothing to do with me.

I was literally living in my head

I was taking on someone elses story that was not serving me in a positive way,

and I almost, (almost), got stuck there and allowed my thoughts and imagination to shape my reality.

You see heres the thing.

It may not be a high speed chase for you

that disrupts your happy flow,

So a few questions you.

Have you ever had a situation suddenly enter your reality

that has rattled you?

and where did you live at that moment?

What state did you choose?

Curiosity?

Judgment?

Anger?

Compassion?

and did you allow this experience to affect your reality?

because so often as humans we take on other peoples energy

sometimes it conscious, and we hold a space for people that are in need, however other times its our subconscious and we take on other events or situations as our own because it redirects the focus away from us..

ooooohhh

did you feel that?

did that land for you like it landed for me?

Yes i said that. Sometimes we choose to carry chaos, carnage and drama

that isn’t ours because well it takes away the focus from our own.

Hard truth right!!

Well

If something happens suddenly to you

choose to understand its your choice how that energy affects you,

Ask yourself today is this my responsibility?

does this have anything to do with me

do you let other circumstances disrupt your happiness?

With Love always

The post Do You Ever Take On Other Peoples Energy For The Wrong Reasons? appeared first on Marissa Lewis.

remember you have a much bigger and

more powerful force that has your back!

It is there ready to comfort you, and lift you up

as soon as you give yourself permission to surrender.

See here is what I know..

Life has this divine timing,

and way of reminding you,

even when you have done the work,

and you feel in full control of where you are heading,

that it has something new for you to learn

to help you expand,

grow and become.

I believe when these experiences are gifted to you

You must grab them with both hands,

and fully embrace the moments by

closing your eyes,

taking a breath (like when you are about to blow out the candles)

Inhale with total love and gratitude,

and exhale with total love and gratitude.

Because here is what else I know,

The power of breath,

The power of connection,

The power of awareness,

And the power of love,

Will pull you through every time

because remember that force that has your back

is Powerful and knowing this blended with the fact that everything has to pass, will give you courage to keep moving forward.

I often think about moments of hurt and pain

and when I endure these feelings,

how much energy and effort it requires

to not lose myself in my thoughts.

(because remember thoughts become things!)

And I have noticed in my own journey of growth,

especially when something doesn’t go the way I had hoped

or lets be honest “expected’,

my ego takes over!

It is in the front of the line shouting things at me

to make me fearful, have self doubt and question EVERYTHING about myself.

It is so unnecessary!!

So in order to truly use this to your advantage,

acknowledge that fear is not there to hurt you

fear is designed to “keep you safe”

it is only trying to

keep you in your comfort zone,

but you must already know the magic happens

outside your comfort zone right?

There are different areas of life that will push you to grow

in the exact moment you feel one area of life is “perfect”

don’t question it, it may very well be exactly where you visualised it to be,

but always know, that as soon as you get “comfortable”

that is a sign you are not

expanding or growing…

and if you are not growing, you are dying.

Recently I had an experience that completely

Had my heart WIDE OPEN

all the work and healing I had done to this point was tested to the core,

I removed myself as much as I could from my thoughts and I

realised that it was NOT an option to get stuck there.

I had my tears guiding me.

the tears at the time, were representing

pain,

heart break,

confusion

disappointment,

and fear.

but then I used all my teachings to step outside myself

and observe what exactly was it I was crying for???

what was it that I had unexpectedly attached to?

or what was it about this experience that took me back to some place

where I had this kind of trauma before?

This is where it landed of me,

I believe in undeniable raw and uncut love,

and that does not mean just falling in love,

it means that no matter what happens

I will ALWAYS choose to take the time to come

from a space of love

and ask for guidance to connect to my BIGGER source,

my Universe, my God.

And trust that if I do this,

I WILL release all that is weighing me down,

create space for what is coming, and what belongs to me,

and stay completely open to love and above,

allowing life to flow through me and

trusting that what is meant for me, won’t miss me

and what misses me, was never meant for me.

And that is why I always believe in letting my tears guide me.

and trust that there is a reason they are showing up so that I can

continue moving forward.

Love Marissa xxx
