ISHA Girl: November 2014

What does "ISHA" stand for? Find out and join the club!

WELCOME TO THE ISHA ("ee-sha') GIRL CLUB - where you don't have to be a girl to join in the journey!

Simply incorporate the following principles into your everyday life and you're "IN"! So, come join the "ISHA GIRL CLUB" and join me in my journey to better overall health of mind, body and spirit!

INDIVIDUALITY/WARRIOR II Pose (Virabhadrasana II)

ISHA GIRLS are "bold, beautiful, confident and tuff"...their confidence lies in God and they are "SHINERS". They identify their strengths and unique talents and spend time developing both so they can enlighten and uplift others with their gifts.

SERVE others & SPREAD "Aloha"/HEART

ISHA GIRLS know "to find one's life, they must lose it". With "aloha" (LOVE) in their hearts they serve. This humbles them, broadens their perspective and increases their compassion while decreasing judgement, fear and selfishness.

HIPPYISH/PLANT

ISHA GIRLS have a "go green" mentality in how they live their lives. They respect their bodies (exercise, eat right and get rest) and their Earth (reduce, reuse and recycle).

ACQUIRE further light & knowledge/OWL

ISHA GIRLS never stop learning. They are invigorated by obtaining new knowledge, broadening their scope and improving their minds through both temporal and spiritual study.

Gi8: Daily Calendar-Week 8!!

Daily Calendar-Week 8-The Final Chapter

Monday: Weigh in and turn in your points to Alli by 5pm

Do one of the following six things each of the other days of the week. You may do them in any order, but only one may count per day and must be done on that day!

__ Eat 2 servings of BAD FOOD without subtracting points

___ Read an article about detoxing your body *

___ Drink 80+ ounces of water today-flush out those toxins!

___ Do 45min of yoga (any level/type counts)- cleanse the air in those lungs and get your digestion moving!

___ Do something that will make you sweat for at least 20min or do skin brushing (sit in a sauna or steam room, exercise, do hot yoga...)- Clear up the skin!

__ Give someone a hug today and be so proud of yourself for what you have accomplished the last 8 weeks!

*1) we need to detox because our bodies are constantly barraged by toxins in the food we eat (unless it is organic, unprocessed blah blah) and the air we breathe (unless we live in the garden of Eden)

2) We have 4 ways to rid our bodies of harmful toxins-bowels, respiratory system, urinary tract and skin

3) we need to make sure our 4 "exits" are open and working, so our bodies aren't holding on to these toxins. Which is why people do colon cleanses, saunas etc but basically make sure you are regular...constipation=REALLY BAD, DO YOGA Emoji

, drink ample water and sweat!!
