What is up with SELF SABOTAGE? It is totally a myth. It is not real.
Check in with your environment – are you putting your Self in situations where you will THRIVE or where you will DIE? The people, places and things have to lift your vibration to support your dreams and your truth. I have used yoga and wellness practices to become symptom and mediation free from a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.

Do you have issues with motivation? Do you start things and then lose steam? Where does that energy go, if you lose track from your initial goal? Motivation is sacred. It is unique and personal.
