A Quest for Well-Being

— "Recognizing your triggers is one of the hardest things to do. You can begin to overcome them after you've owned up to them — although it is not easy. First, you must examine yourself honestly. Being brutally honest and upfront with yourself will be essential. It's important to know that nobody is grading this. This treasure hunt of unpleasantries does not concern anyone else. It is a solo project. You don't need to be shy. Embrace your true self and take your time with it."

— The Generosity Practice takes all the good work you do in meditation/self-care and alchemizes it into fuel for you to get out and make a difference. It's where your personal sanctuary directly affects how you help people. It aligns your inner truth with the rest of your life. If you truly commit to this practice, you won't be able to get out there and make a difference fast enough. You won't need to keep safe in a cave." Valeria interviews Christina Frei — She is the author of The Generosity Practice: 40 Days to Unstoppable. Christina runs a boutique marketing practice called Innate Marketing Genius, where she helps solo business owners own their voice, market to their strengths, and get the right clients consistently. Her holistic marketing approach grew out of a lonely, chaotic time, when she moved to Boston all on her own—and discovered her own way to really connect with people. She recently gave a TEDx talk on this. Personally, she's on a mission to live more sustainably; she is obsessed with thrift shopping and is a new convert to plant-based eating. In between, she chases her dog around with a stuffed animal snake, meditates on a pink couch, cold plunges like Wim Hof all year long, and obsess over the perfect cup of green tea, all in a seaside town just north of Boston.

— "People sometimes think back to bad situations and memories as learning experiences. They may come to realize they were actually strong for their age; or that they did everything they could. They learn that it's OK to show their emotions – even with people they allowed to bully or hurt them in the past. They become strong protectors; not allowing similar hurts to occur again. They heal by seeing their problems for what they really are, then letting them go. They come to find out they can be safe. They come to find out they are honorable and lovable – OK just as they are. They can accept themselves. They can come to realize they have choices. They learn to have hope. These are a few of the potential miracles that can occur when effective counseling takes place."

— "I looked up at the tree rich with its canopy of fire crimson leaves, and I could see that nature simply couldn't help but give of herself. All she created, she created from the endless joy and out of the sheer love of what she was. She could not help but give, never with a thought of how much or to whom. She was the very being of abundance itself. All she gave she gave out of sheer ecstasy of the divine presence coursing through her veins. And, this was why she sang. The time had come for us to join her. No longer would we tell our sad stories bemoaning our sagas of woe. The time had come for us to drop the discord in our hearts with all its bitter tones of clashing cacophony. We were ready. Ready to join in the harmony, the harmony enveloping the rest of the Earth. The time had come for humanity to join Creation singing its song. We now would sing too, a song so sweet, so beautiful, coming from the pure joy of being alive. Expressing and giving of ourselves in gratitude for life flowing through us, as our hearts pounded full and deep in the wonderment of a world filled with plenty."
