“You have the power to create change”

“We bend, so not break”

These mantras have held me together for the past two years and every day they keep being an inspiration.

They remind me to accept change but at the same time not to suffer it passively, to always try to be proactive and positive.

These days it is also my M/Body anniversary and if I look back at the past 24 months my heart is filled with gratitude. Not only I have an healthier and stronger body, but my heart is richer thanks to the wonderful people I have met on this journey and whom I hope to hug soon here in Italy.

To the special women who were already here in 2020, to all the others who joined later, to Marnie, to Danni, to the whole M/Body crew:

THANK YOU! GRAZIE!

🤍💜🤍

YOU HAVE ENOUGH. YOU DO ENOUGH. YOU ARE ENOUGH. - I wish all of us would feel this way even when it seems ridiculous. Because it is true, and it would make our lives so much easier if we could forgive ourselves and believe in this truth.

Marnie was the first person who has changed my perspective on being enough. There are still many days and situations when I find it bullshit and a lie even, and I am aware this is something which has given me so many hard times since I was a kid, so I have to keep working on it. 😉

You are all enough my friends, you are more than enough, you are making this world a better place!!

My favorite M/Body mantra is: “If you don’t like the ending, it’s not the end yet.” ❤️❤️

And just my favorite life mantra is from Maya Angelou: “People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.”

I love how this community makes me feel ❤️❤️

Favorite M/Body mantras: Of course one is “Be in the light.” I also love “We bend so we don’t break.” Also, it’s doesn’t matter how fast we’re going if you’re going in the wrong direction.”

And apart from M/Body the mantra that has stuck with me forever is by Rumi and is “what you seek is seeking you.”

Much love fam!❤️

Just push play …

Lift your eyes up and be in the light …

For the Wellness activity today, I’m choosing two of the MANY favorite affirmations/mantras I’ve heard in M/BODY classes. This activity is not limited to Marnie mantras, but that’s what I’m posting today. 🙂

“Inhale what heals, exhale what hurts.”

171: “And I think it’s brave. I think it’s brave that in that space you get up in the morning. Even when your heart aches, even when life is messy and you don’t feel like being this soft for the world. And I think it’s brave that you continue to love, and express, and open your soul despite the way you were treated in moments in the past. And I think it’s brave that you keep going, that you keep believing in something more, something bigger. Even when you may not know what you’re hoping for yet. And I think it’s brave that you fight, you fight for what’s right. I think it’s brave that you choose every single day to move forward, because THAT is what makes you strong.”

I can’t wait to hear what Marnie, Danni, and the M/Body team have in the works! 😍

Hi Fam, just checking in because I feel like I’ve been a bit MIA lately. We went on a family vacation to Disneyland and Palm Springs but unfortunately both my kids got sick with colds, stomach bugs and ear infections while we were there. Then we finally get home and go to the dr who puts them both on antibiotics which has now given them horrible diarrhea which is worse than the cold and ear infections. I feel like we just can’t catch a break and everyone is looking to mom (and not dad) to make them feel better. It’s a lot!! My workouts have always been my time for self care and it’s been hard trying to stay sane right now. Send my fam some good healthy thoughts so we can all get back to normal soon!! Thanks for always being so supportive!!

It's wild how quickly they start copying moves!! Sunshine is only 1 year old and she does a little of each workout with me! Look at that little foot!
