Day 7 <3

Good Evening Beautiful Beings,

     Welcome to "Tina Talks Tuesday", I hope this weeks blog finds you well. :)

I am here to update you on the "Quitting Alcohol for 30 Days" challenge. There were a couple challenging days, especially seeing that this past weekend I moved. At first I was like we got this, no big deal, we just won't buy drinks...HA, the joke was on us! You can't ask family/friends to come help out and not provide drinks and food! So, the temptation was there, but I am pleased to announce that we held strong and indulged in some high quality H2o! ;)  Wahoo!!

Overall the result are making my mind-body-soul very happy! :D Sleep is better, mind is clearer, body feels more hydrated, and I have more energy. I'll take it, and look forward to the next 3 weeks! Cheers to our health which is our highest form of Wealth! <3

Are you doing the challenge, if so what benefits, challenges, etc. are you experiencing? As always your comments, suggestions, howdy's, and good vibes only are always welcomed and highly favored! May Peace, Love, Safety, and Wellness be with you all! XOXO I am grateful for YOU! <3

Get Lost & Found in the Flow <3

Good Evening Beautiful Beings, 

     Welcome to "Tina Talks Tuesday", always a pleasure to have you stop by. <3 Tonight I just simply ask you to get lost in the "Flow". Ever notice how musicians, like "Eyvn-Flow", seem to get lost in their music, eyes closed, as if in a trance like state? This is known as "Flow" - when people are so fully absorbed in what they are doing that they don't notice what's going on around them and afterward they feel amazing...some might consider it as being "in the zone". 

  So tonight find what makes your soul flow and get in the zone. This can open a pathway to great satisfaction and happiness by releasing your mind-body-soul from self-consciousness. Go with the flow, get lost to be found, and let your self get carried away!  

    As always comments, suggestions, topics, and your favorite "Flow" tune is always welcome and highly encouraged!  Click the title to get a fine flow of my Religion, LOVE! Thanks for "listening" ;) Love Y'all! 

                                                                    #loveonly,

                                                                         BellaSoul

Be Spontaneous :D

Hello there Beautiful Beings,

     Welcome back to "Tina Talks Tuesday", I hope you are well and warm! <3

     Today I am spontaneously writing about the benefits of being spontaneous now and again. This method just seems to work out sometimes, and can feel pretty good. Having expectations on a project/task can sometimes be stressful, and set you up for disappointment. It can also hold you back from actually starting to create or fulfill a goal because you may feel you do not have enough time to do all the things you  love. 

    Finding the time can be challenging in your busy day-to-day life. However, by carrying some of your hobbies around with you, you can begin to experience them spontaneously. Example, carry a book, camera or journal in your bag and make your rush-hour commute, lunch break, or Dr. apt wait more enjoyable, in case you think of something or observe something that you would like to make "last longer". 

  Spontaneity is also about practicing flexibility. If you make plans with a friend and they fall through, remember that it is not the end of the world. This practice can help you think of ways to make the most of your free time. Just remember, spontaneity is not simply about diving off the steepest cliff; it is about keeping an open mind to life's possibilities and actively embracing new experiences. Stay open to receive y'all. Namaste. 

   I am grateful for you. Thanks for visiting, and as always comments, questions, topics, and hellos are always welcomed and highly encouraged. <3 XOXO

                                                             #loveonly,

                                                                 Bella Soul

Solar Eclipse Intentions

Nice Night Beautiful Beings, 

      Welcome to "Tina Talks Tuesday" on the late-night, always a pleasure to see you back! With this being a powerful and supportive week for setting strong "new" intentions for our life, I personally have been moved during the moon hours...hence why my blog is being brought to you in the darkness. It is sure to brighten your night under the energy of the New Moon and past Total Solar Eclipse.  

    During this time I like to, and would encourage you to also try setting horizons on the highest visions for your life! What we begin now, will slowly manifest over the next six months, culminating in February 2018...

* We are Master Manifestors <3 We put out invisible intents & feelings into the Universe, bringing back to us the physical representation of what we focus upon. You Truly are The Author.

* Simply focus on your dreams while watching/listening to your fav. meditation/manifestation video/audio or by just being still and post them out into the The Universe. Truly do your best to let your imagination take you into a place where you can FEEL YOUR INTENTS. They are happening right now! 

* Go to a Healing space that feels right for you, write/draw your visions and dreams, Dream Bigger! Speak into existence. Take meaningful tangible items. Light a candle, burn sage/lavender , or incense. Create a sacred space to Create the Life you Desire.

  This time in space is powerful with the New moon upon us and the passing of the Solar Eclipse. If you are already practicing positive "I am" statements then you are golden and are probably already experiencing the magic unfold. Keep going, stronger and deeper, especially during this powerful cosmic shift! You are worth your dreams coming true! 

***I have linked a lengthy (1 hour-ish) You-tube video that I found interesting on the "powers" of the Most Amazing 2017 Solar Eclipse*** Dive Deep & Enjoy <3 Peace.

As always thank you! Comments, questions, ideas, Hello's, and GVO's are always welcomed and highly favored! :DDream Big <3 Good Night! 11:11 <3

The HUMP-DAY-HOLLER - Perspective on Imagination

Hello American Muscle-onians,

Happy HUMP-DAY!!!!!!!

As you know, my fictitious friend was scheduled to meet with me this week to discuss perception and imagination. Unfortunately, he was unable to make it back from the last blog! He did, however, reflect on our conversation and ask me to share a little something he wrote:

“When you think you know, let it go - to see another point of view. When your mind begins to blow, let it go - to better see what’s true. As you accrue mind-blowing truths, you expand your cognitive map. So never hesitate to dive deep and fill up your thinking-cap!”

This week’s HUMP-DAY HOLLER <---Click here… is all about how the imagination can sometimes cause us to form conclusions that may not benefit the ones around us or ourselves. I discuss how our past determines the way we understand situations and how the unknown can sometimes be filled in with incorrect assumptions. I hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think!

Stay smiling!!

-PhilJOSHopher

2 tomatoes

Handful of fresh Basil

2 Cloves Garlic

The HUMP-DAY HOLLER-Ideas about Imagination

Hello, you virtuous soul you!!!

Yes, you are correct: the HUMP-DAY HOLLER was brought to you on Thirsty-Thursday. For that, I am sorry. These past two weeks have been absolutely jam-packed with emotional excitement and travel! Evyn and I supported local bands at Sterling Ameribeat, and then we traveled to Toronto for a Muse concert before driving to Florida so that we can help my parents move into their new home. Please forgive me, community... for I have delayed! 

This week's blog is all about imagination!!! If you love imagination, no need to fear: There will be a part two delivered to you in 13 days... so stay tuned :) 

Hope you enjoy this week's edition of The HUMP-DAY HOLLER! <----Click here

Thank you Evyn-flow for all that you did to help me put this together!!!

As always, let me know what you think in the comments or on Facebook! 

Keep on living the good life,

-PhilJOSHopher

Purity Of Spirit

Hello Again Beautiful Beings, 

      Hope all is excellent and well in your world! Thank you for visiting me on "Tina Talks Tuesday" :) Today I had to take a moment of loving silence to get inspired to share, writers block or something like that I guess. ;) I accepted it and let go of the fact that I was drawing a blank, and then went into meditation and was inspired by the process of the result I was seeking.

   The very tool that I use daily for my own enrichment and enlightenment, "Insight Timer" spoke to me and inspired me to share it's substance with you. :) These taglines, quotes, etc., (except for the first two, thank you Crofton) ;) along with the singing bowl sounds (click title link) came from this App/tool and brought me right to this space.    Feel these Words.

"IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW, BUT ONE MUST APPLY WHAT ONE KNOWS" & "EXPERIENCE IS THE MOTHER OF ALL KNOWLEDGE"  ~da VINCI

<3 "MAY YOU LOVE YOU" 

:) "SMILE & BREATHE" "PRETTY & DEEPLY" 

* "GRATEFUL TO BE HERE"

<3 "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WILL FREE THE WORLD"

:) "THAXS, MAY YOU BE HAPPY, MAY YOU BE FREE"

* "I AM BLESSED BY EACH MOMENT I AM PRESENT IN MY BREATH."

<3 "YOUR FRIENDSHIP IS WELCOMED!"

:) "BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD" 

* "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT ALL IS WELL"

<3 "IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LOVE LOVING LOVE"

:) "SILENCE IS A GREAT SOURCE OF STRENGTH" ~LAU TZU

*"WHAT WE THINK, WE BECOME - WHAT WE BELIEVE, WE EXPERIENCE"

So, next time you are unsure or question your ability try seeking guidance from outside sources, go within, think outside the box, and let go of any expectation of what should, could, and must be! It will flow freely to you in the right time an space if you are open to receive! 

For more information on the "Insight Timer App" check out my previous blog dedicated to its greatness. As always comments, questions, suggestions, and GVO's are always welcomed and encouraged. My soul loves yours, thank you for your time! 

                                                          #loveonly,

"How to Attract Anything with Your Mind"

Hello there Beautiful Beings,

           I hope today's "Tina Talks Tuesday" inspires you to receive through Manifestation & Visualization! :D

Are you attracting what your heart truly desires, your true life purpose? What enhances your visualization? A few things that have helped me along my journey are... relaxation, knowing what I want, gratitude, laser sharp focus, plant based eating, and being/staying open to receive. Everything is mental.

Things to Try:

Create/Find simple visual images that appeal to you~ place them around house/office/car

Daily Meditation~Patiences is Key~Listen to Music~Hold On/Let Go~Stay Awake~Balance~

Visualize to Materialize~ Imagine, create the image in your mind, desired physical appearance, dollar amounts on paycheck/in account/under mattress, vacation location, food you eat, soul mate, etc...  Ex: while working out, close your eyes and picture the body you want, while you eat visualize that food sculpting your body, while taking a break picture your paycheck and your vacation flight tickets. ;) 

Whatever you are feeling you are creating~good attitude creates great results

Focus on Beautiful Mind Set~Peace of Mind is the Greatest Wealth

Have passion, be true to YOU, Stay Disciplined

Karma~ You do something, it creates a reaction~ Words/thoughts are not enough here (words have there own place & value). However, Radical Action based off of your Visions is a must, talk less/act more!  :D

Polarity~ Cover all angles of your life to go to the next level. Good, bad, left, right, light, dark...recognize the unwanted, let it pass through, and replace it with the wanted. <3

Stay Physical, Eat Mindfully, Try Yoga, Connect with Inspiring Beings, Star/Sun Gaze, Breathe in that Good Prana! Visualization and Manifestation grows more powerful with increased health, pure intention, consistency, peaceful mindset, and letting go of what no longer serves you...Enjoy seeing your magic unfold! <3  

Write down your desires as well, you can start here if you'd like. Comments, desires, topics, and hellos are always welcomed and highly favored. You Hold The Power To Become Your Greatest Version :) Only. <3 Namaste. 

                                                   #loveonly,

Long Summer "Work" Dayzzz

Hi there Beautiful Beings,

    I hope today's "Tina Talks Tuesday" finds you warm and well. If you are anything like me you long to be outside enjoying these lovely summer days, however, you probably have to earn a living by going to work. UGH, who came up with this concept anyways?!? ;)

 Today I am gong to share with you what helps me bring a little summer sunshine into those dreadful, dragging days. 

These affirmations are worth a shot and may just help your soul in your time of need. Repeat after me, your future self is already thanking you:

"I am the architect of my life; I build its foundation and choose its contents"

"I receive all feedback with kindness but make the final call myself"

"I let go of negativity so I can see clearly"

"I breathe in calmness and breathe out nervousness"

"Though times can be difficult, they are only a short phase of life"

"I have endless talents which I will begin to utilize today"

"I possess the qualities needed to be extremely successful"

"My ability to conquer my challenges is limitless; my potential to succeed is infinite"

"My future is an ideal projection of what I envision now"

"Today I abandon my old habits and take up new, more positive ones"

If you believe the phrase “you are what you think”, then life can truly stem from your thoughts.  People often say that if you tell yourself something enough times, you eventually begin to believe it! Print as many copies as needed and hang it as many places that call! You are worthy of having all of your dreams become reality! 

Thank you for taking the time to visit today and as always comments, ideas, positive thoughts, and simple "howdy's" are encouraged and always welcomed!  (Click Blog Title for more Motivation) Enjoy every moment you are given <3 One Love.

Loving Silence <3

Hey there Beautiful beings. 

    Always a pleasure to see you here on "Tina Talks Tuesday"! Today's blog is a challenge to love your mind, body, and soul by practicing loving silence. So I simply ask you to just click on the post title, close your eyes, quiet your mind, and take a few slow, crystal clear, deep breaths in and out. Life can get so full and fast paced that we easily can forget to slow down and honor our self's. Honor thy self even if just for a moment, I double dog dare you. ;)

Please comment below with how long your loving silence meditation lasted, and how you felt afterwards. Also, if you'd like to share any visions, thoughts, etc. they are welcomed as well. 

"Quiet the Mind & the Soul will Speak" ~ Namaste.

"What Are You Grateful For Today?"

Hello Beautiful Beings,

        It's a good day to have a great day with "Tina Talks Tuesday"! :) While scrolling through FB a few days I came across a post titled "What are you Grateful For today!?" by our very own wise soul, Crofton Celentano. It was uplifting, inspiring, and nice to read everyone's response to this question, but one in particular stood out, and it's my pleasure to share it with you today...

"HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED AND EVERYONE WHO SAID ME! I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL AS WELL! I WAS ASKED HOW DO I MAINTAIN FLOATING ON THE CLOUDS? I WORK WITH 3-6 PEOPLE A DAY. DURING THIS TIME WE ARE CREATING GRATITUDE LISTS, MEDITATING M, AND WE SAY 3 THINGS WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR EVERY DAY. SO I GUESS I HAVE JUST WIRED MY BRAIN FOR GRATITUDE. WHAT ARE YOUR HABITS? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW? STAY POSITIVE MY FRIENDS, IF IT IS RAINING THERE IS ALWAYS A RAINBOW AND IF YOU ARE WALKING THROUGH HELL JUST KEEP ON WALKING BECAUSE THIS TOO SHALL PASS. ONE LOVE, ONE LIFE, FOCUS ON THE GOOD AND YOU WILL FEEL ALRIGHT!" ~Crofton Celentano

This warmed my soul, positively shifted my day, and was a simple reminder of how powerful our thoughts and habits really are! I hope this inspires you to make the best of every day, every hour, every moment...you are the author of your story, make it great!!! "One Love~ One Life" ***(Click on the this Blog Title for some Loving Tunes) :D

I am grateful for you! Comments, ideas, quotes, "GVO"'s are always welcome and highly encouraged. :) Thank you! XOXO
