Hey you! Did you know that you’re very special? There is no other person in this world like you. You deserve to be loved not only by those around you but by the most important person in your life — YOU. Practicing self-love can be challenging for many of us, especially in times when we face serious challenges. It’s not about being self-absorbed or narcissistic, it’s about getting in touch with ourselves, our well-being and our happiness. We practice self-love so we can push through our limiting beliefs and live a life that truly shines.
So do yourself a favor, take a deep breath, give yourself a little hug and start practicing the following:

1. Start each day by telling yourself something really positive. How well you handled a situation, how lovely you look today. Anything that will make you smile.
2. Fill your body with food and drink that nourishes it and makes it thrive.
3. Move that gorgeous body of yours every single day and learn to love the skin you’re in. You can’t hate your way into loving yourself.
4. Don’t believe everything you think. There is an inner critic inside of us trying to keep us small and safe. The downside is this also stops us from living a full life.
5. Surround yourself with people who love and encourage you. Let them remind you just how amazing you are.
6. Listen to this video as many time as you need

Signs that you need to increase your Self-Love & Self-Acceptance levels:
Whenever you find yourself tired, drained, trying to keep up with things, fit in, blend in, be more at peace with yourself, or even hating your body, you are using vital life force that you could use for other more important things in life.

The Importance of Self-Love and Self-Acceptance
“Growth begins when we start accepting ourselves” -Jean Vanier
We usually set standards that are too high for ourselves because the society expects us to be perfect. We tend to forget that everyone has flaws including the people we perceive to be perfect.

Comparing yourself to others leads to failure. Failure in yourself, failure in your confidence, failure of dreams and security. I am aware that, in this age of social media there are many opportunities to compare yourself to others.... Why don’t my eyes sparkle? Why doesn’t my girlfriend have those curves, why doesn’t my boyfriend have muscles like they do? Why do they make more money than I do? Why, why, why? But, do you know no one compares to you, and that no two people are the same. No one has your DNA, no one has your finger prints, no one has your smile. No one is you. Think about it... we’re all designed differently; an original masterpiece. Therefore, I implore you to stop comparing yourself to others. Carry out your plans, and your business like a boss...the way you, and only you can, and was meant to do. I promise that, you will get there ... slow and steady, but only if you’re willing to stop comparing your behind the scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel!! Do you, and let them do them!!!

Between, last week and this week I’ve had three dreams where I was trying to calculate figures to get a sum. I wrote the numbers down and draw a line underneath, and just as I was about to calculate to get an answer some noise woke me up; every time! After, the third dream I concluded it wasn’t for me to figure out. Oftentimes, we spend most of our lives trying to figure stuff out, but is it necessary. Perhaps, this was a sign to me, that I’m not in control. If, you’re one that constantly try to figure out things can you trust that everything will work out in the end? Can you have faith and trust that everything will be well done on your behalf? And, if it doesn’t work out well can you trust that there is a reason it didn’t? Try it, try to breathe and let go of all the figuring out you’re currently doing. I already told you the best is yet to come. So, if you’re trying to figure it out... STOP!! Have faith and trust the process.

You are not alone! Friends, it’s been weeks since our routine and way of life has changed!!! Listen, change is not easy...there are many who are having a difficult time navigating through feelings of aloneness. Many, who don’t and won’t talk about it! Lesson, you may feel alone, but you are not in this thing alone. Chances are there are so many others who feel the way that you do. Tip, don’t be afraid of how you’re feeling! You have a right to feel the way that you do! Just know you’re never alone. Also, try focusing on someone else. I bet you can make someone’s day! There is someone waiting to hear from you... pick up the phone, zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, Marco Polo if you have to, and let them know that they’re not alone!

Yesterday, a young man and I was having a conversation and he wanted answers. The young man asked “What is the purpose of life?” I began to explain to him that, the purpose of life is to serve others, to love unconditionally, to walk in integrity and to keep peace. Additionally, I told him to believe in something greater than himself. The young man, who was 16 years old, could not wrap his head around what I had said. He thought how could that be when people are sick with all different types of cancer, and mental illnesses. How could that be when men are violent, angry, mean. How could that be when babies are dying, and people are killing each other. He just couldn’t relate... he didn’t understand because of the shambles; the state of the world. What, I communicated to him, and now to you is that we are not here for ourselves. We are here on assignment, we are here to help each other, we are here for a time, and we are here on purpose. We are not here by chance, we are chosen. We made it into the world, we are breathing, we are living this life. Surely, when we look at the world systems and things that are happening around us we become disheartened. But, we must also look for and see the good. Keep your eyes up, and remember... your living is not in vain!

How to grow your influence on fitfabandwelltube and yourtowntube and grow your local exposure
What Is Niche Marketing?
Niche marketing is an advertising strategy that focuses on a unique target market. Instead of marketing to everyone who could benefit from a product or service, this strategy focuses exclusively on one group—a niche market—or demographic of potential customers who would most benefit from the offerings.

The benefit of niche marketing is that it allows brands to differentiate themselves, appear as a unique authority, and resonate more deeply with a distinct set of customers. Rather than blend in with the many other brands that offer the same type of product or service, a brand can use niche marketing to stand out, appear more valuable, reach its growth potential, and build a stronger, longer-lasting connection with its ideal audience.

A niche market could stand apart from others because of:
* Geographic area
* Lifestyle
* Occasion
* Profession
* Style
* Culture
* Activity or habits
* Behavior
* Demographic
* Need
* Feature reduction or addition

Enjoy creating your niche marketing video content.

Every new day is an opportunity to dig deeper into the intention and meaning behind how we live, what we say, what we do, and how we interact with others in this world.

Welcome to today’s practice I am Gabi Johnson, and I invite you to a “Namaste guided meditation” to connect with yourself and connect with your heart

Namasté is more than a word used to end a yoga session. With respect and reverence, Namasté is a way to see and honor the reality of others.

Breath in love exhale compassion and, repeat to yourself…

Just like me everyone is seeking happiness, may we all find the happiness we are seeking
Just like me everyone is protecting themself from suffering, may we all be brave and strong enough to make space for our suffering
Just like me everyone has known sadness, may we all experience love and joy to balance the sadness
Just Like me everyone are doing the best they can, may we all offer compassion to ourselves and others

In “Behind the Ivy Walls,” published in June, English, 62, reveals the story of Harold English, a vulnerable, abused boy growing up in Trenton, the boy his stepfather called “idiot.” English never intended for that frightened boy to see the light of day – until now. "This is stuff you keep inside. I had to relive things. I had to go to a place I didn’t want to go back to," said English

The Root Chakra is foundational. When all is well with this chakra, you’ll feel secure, calm and anchored in reality. You’ll be bold enough to tackle new challenges, and you’ll feel confident doing so. This makes a properly aligned Root Chakra vital whenever you’re trying something new or pursuing a major life goal.

Root Chakra Information Summary

Physical Location: The bottom of your spine (where your tailbone is located).
Color: Red.
Element: Earth.
Associated Animal: Elephant.

Emotional Issues and Behaviors of Blocked Root Chakra: If your Chakra is blocked you may feel threatened, panicked or anxious. This anxiety can easily infiltrate your thoughts, making everything suddenly feel uncertain. You may also find that you can’t concentrate and that you’re constantly preoccupied with worries about your well-being. In some people, this can manifest as hypochondria or general paranoia. Physical issues potentially caused by a blocked Root Chakra include a sore lower back, low energy levels, and cold extremities.

I invite you to balance and activate your root chakra with this Guided Meditation, Namaste. Gabi
