In the October Issue:
The practical tools of health create a foundation. Clean eating, exercising, meditation, journaling and many modalities all support health foundationally. Growth requires a space in between, where you begin to let go and release. This uplevel shifts your perspectives, bringing about a pause for clarity, which is the direct opposite of chaos.
Health in all forms, protects and supports your center of being, your intuition, receptivity, and connection to your vision. The physical act of moving, the mental act of intellectual stimulation, the emotional act of emotional intelligence, the energetic act of being in resonance, and vibration when in alignment, bring about growth, which transforms you.
In essence, each of these areas have a common thread of being natural, organic, and pure.
These concepts and ideologies shift the perspective of health being separate. Instead of a stand alone health, it is all inclusive in your growth and uplevels.
At the beginning of an idea, your capacity to imagine and believe creates inspiration, thought, and feeling. This is the foundation of health and growth from your emotional pillar. Here your role is to nourish and nurture this creative idea in simplicity, grounded into a safe space. This is accomplished in your vision. When you see your idea, you continue to hold thoughts and feelings that are aligned with your idea, and your vision.
This is the foundation before action. Nourish your health with emotions which support your body and your growth.
The physical aspect of health gets the most attention, the part of taking action. Actions for health are designed to support you in creating physical habits, and rituals, the structures and systems for the health and growth, that is nourishing your body and life. Your habits and rituals must connect into you, not to do, but rather to guide, support and feel. In this way it is supporting the belief in your vision
There is a life cycle for your actions. Every 3- 6 months evaluate how these actions are working for you and making you feel. It’s normal to shift. Actions are not designed to be rigid, but rather a measurement in your energy. Are these actions supporting your energy? Are they building resilience, strength, focus, or even letting go of old patterns and habits. These qualities support growth, even when you can’t see them.
Nurturing mental health for growth is an exceptional skill set to embark on. Intellectual stimulation nudges mental thinking through new conversations. Mental health for growth clears and opens the current programming and environment you are in. You are asking yourself to think differently, and become curious. Your new health goals will require you to shift and transform your mindset, your mental programming around your actions, and your feelings. It requires more time to be invested in your beliefs and ideas about health, shifting them to match the level of your journey to get there. In other words, you can’t bypass your beliefs and jump forward to results.
Nurturing and nourishing your mental health is healthy food for your mind. Books, podcasts, and trainings all support mental health. Learning to minimize, avoid, limit and stay clear of distractions from your new version of health is nurturing yourself, your health, your vision.
Don’t expect everyone to understand. Your vision and actions will ruffle feathers of those who are not able to relate to your vision. It is here that your capacity to step outside your current environments, and connect with the mental strength of like minded people, will help you reach your goals.
Energetic health is a balance. When it comes to growth, it is a balance of action and receptivity. This dynamic dance is a natural order. Holding a vision, building systems, and doing the action steps with clarity and intention to support your health, are the first steps which gain momentum. You lead yourself.
Here in energetic health find the pause, gain clarity in what you have accomplished, your new level.

Through the power of physical, mental and emotional well being, Monica is grounded into a state of well being, where health and wealth find balance.
From learning to overcome, and manage the loss of her parents, her family, complete her college degree, becoming a top level Group Fitness Instructor in NYC, an elite level athlete, Monica made it her job to re-define and re-establish health and well being. “So much of the work comes from the mental and emotional components”, she says.
These aren’t skills you can learn in school or through a certification, they’re experiential. You must experience them to teach them with emotional intelligence and intellectual stimulation. You must have a context in how they feel, how to feel them, to relate to others.
The power in them is the ability to create change. Lifestyle is a series of choices and decisions. There is no quick fix. It takes practices, habits, re-reinforcement and support.
Monica has created a series of programs to support physical, mental and emotional well-being and health. Confidence, courage, good boundaries, self esteem are all built through health and well-being.
