"Create flow in your life and environment by reducing friction. 

When we eliminate unnecessary obstacles and simplify our surroundings, we can experience more ease and harmony in our daily lives. Whether it's decluttering your space, streamlining your schedule, or simplifying your relationships, take small steps to create more flow and enjoy the benefits of a more peaceful and fulfilling life. “

Today I want to talk with you about all those little and sometimes big things that clog us our energy space and create more stress and anxiety.

As a person who can vert easily become stressed or also be drawn into a state of anxiety, these “little things” actually have some pretty big effects on our lives. Let me share some with you that can have this effect on your life. 

One is our space, For a moment look around you and do a quick audit of your space. Ask Yourself, is it cluttered? Is it filled with the things I love and bring me...

Many of us go through our daily lives like a hamster on a hamster wheel just going, going, and doing.

We're not paying close attention to the way we're spending our precious time.  

Most of us are so busy that even if we were asked at the end of the day what we spent our time doing we couldn't even answer that.

Today, I want to talk about becoming more intentional with your time, bringing awareness to how you're spending your time so that you could spend more time on the things that you love, with the people you love, and working towards your dreams and goals.

It's about making your dreams and goals your priority.

Now, everybody's going to have different dreams and goals and yours might be to just relax more.  It could be being the best possible mother in the world,  or being one of the most supportive friends. 

It's about asking yourself what your priority in life is, what's important to you, and bringing awareness to that right now and then being...

I absolutely love this topic. I love chipping away at all these little ways I can support my energy and take care of myself at the highest level.

I’m also a big fan of baby steps.

This week I wanted to share with you some things I do on a regular basis to be really intentional about what I choose to expose my energy to.

I want to point out that this is a choice, some might not agree but with a little awareness and some strong boundaries, you get to create the environment you live in. 

All of it, is how you work, who you spend time with, and what media you expose yourself to. These are all choices we make every day. Sometimes not consciously. 

So starting now is the best time to start to bring awareness to your energy enhancers and suckers and adjust accordingly. The best part is you can break it down into all these baby steps and today I’m going to share a few that I love to work on.

Media is one thing that takes a huge toll on me and a lot of my clients and...

As we start our new year we all have dreams, goals, new things we want to come into our lives and other things we want to let go of.

Today I would like to share with you how I show up for myself and why it’s important for you to know that you can do this for yourself also. 

If you want some of the things to change in your life or if you maybe want to change everything then the first step is to KNOW that in order for things to change, you have to change. You can’t do, act, & be the same and expect different results.

The first step in this endeavor is to just make the DECISION that you are doing this for YOU and no one else but YOU. It’s important because you most likely won’t bring about big changes if there is not a lot of passion behind it. So, ask yourself the question, why do I want to do this and why is it important?

The next thing I want you to know is that to make big changes you don’t have to take huge leaps. You just have to leap. Small...

4 Ways To Treat Yourself When Your Feeling Stressed

Very recently I had a day. I was just feeling so blah and I was kinda mad because I had a lot of stuff I wanted to do. 

But I know when I’m feeling this way It’s not the right time for me to write or do a live. So I’m basically not getting any work done.

So then my feelings move into not just blah but also a little bit stressed because I know I’m not getting anything done.

Have you been here? You need to get stuff done but your feeling kinda sad and then you're stressed because you're not getting anything done. LOL. A vicious circle.

This is when I know it’s time to treat myself to some self-care. 

Listen to the podcast version of this blog >>HERE<<

Here are a few ways I treat myself. When I take the time and give myself the space I can bounce back in just a few hours. Sometimes I just need a day though.

• Just let myself feel the way I do and have compassion and acceptance. We...

I wanted to start a new series on the Soul Aligned Self Care News that shares other coaches' and healers' views of how they use self-care in their lives or with their clients.

I think it’s important to have different points of view from different types of coaches.

My goal is to have coaches and healers who work differently than I do in order for you to have the most beneficial and expansive experience when you spend time in the SASC Community.

This is our second Group Post!

This week we are joined by 3 other amazing coaches, 4including myself. 

I hope you find this helpful to you in your life.

Let’s get into it!

When I teach and use self-care practices in my life I always refer to it as Deep-Level Self-Care.

The reason I do this is that for me it's not only about some of the more surface-level practices like a hot bubble bath or getting my nails done with friends. Also very important.

It’s...

What Do You Think Your Limitations Are?

 So as you begin to dream bigger and set big goals what does the voice say in your head?

 What do you think might be blocking you, stopping you from having everything you dream of?

 At the moment you write down that big dream, what pops up in your head? Pay attention because a lot of the time, we are so used to this negative voice in our head, we don’t even notice it.

 When working with people and when I’m working on my dreams we will often think, I have a block. 

 What is my block? Why can’t I figure it out? Why can’t I get there?

 Well over time I learned it's hiding right there in your head, you just have to pay attention.

 So the next time you're working on something or writing out your goals and desires in the morning, stop for a moment and listen.

 What is that voice saying? Some people call it the ego, and some have a name for it. Negative Nancy, Debbie Downer, Party...

In order to start to dream big and to be able to bring these dreams into our reality, we need to get aligned with them.

We know our core values, so we know where we want to focus our energy. But how do we protect our energy and get into a higher vibration in our lives?

Now if you haven’t yet written out your core values, go back and listen to episode 012 of the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast

However, you don’t need to do this to benefit from reading this blog post today. So continue on and listen to 012 later.

We do this by putting ourselves in the right environment surrounding ourselves with positive influences and also, consuming the right media for us personally.

Everybody is individual, they have their loves and dislikes. This can be very personal. But I can help guide you and show you what works for me personally and you can adjust it to fit into your life.

To me, this is very powerful deep-level self-care and love. It’s...

If you knew you could have anything you wanted without fail, what would you pursue?

This is the magic question. 

Most people don’t go much further than this because they don’t think they can have what they want.

They might think it’s too big, too much, too whatever. 

Or, they might think, I’m too young, too old, not educated enough, not experienced enough.

The bigness of it overwhelms you and it feels much safer to stick with the status quo.

I’m here to tell you, if you can think it, dream it, you get to have it. 

Think of it this way. As soon as it pops into your head, it exists. It’s there, bamm, you just started the creation process. Don’t leave it hanging!

Think about the i phone. If someone told you about a dream they had to create this handheld iphone/computer in the 70s you would have thought they were bat shit crazy.

But here we are.

If you’re...

I wanted to start a series to help women that may be feeling stuck, uninspired about their life as they enter or are in mid-life.

I have a free 12-step guide that you can download and have as a reference. You can grab it here: https://www.tinastinson.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-rocking-your-second-half

I hope you join me for this weekly series and be sure to reach out with any questions.

Everything we are surrounded with throughout our whole life gives us the impression that once we reach mid-life as women we are past our prime, old and worn out, and that we are at some kind of an endpoint.

Media and advertising lead us to believe that aging is not good and we should do everything in our power to stop and delay it.

It might make us feel stuck, unappreciated, somewhat invisible, overwhelmed, and just plain tired.

Well excuse my French but this is complete bullshit. Mid-Life is just the beginning and can be a fresh exciting start.

You've raised your kids and they're fabulous...
