Hello, February!

Hello again friends!

Happy Wednesday, and February 1st!

Is it just me or do you also love the feeling of the start of a new month?

To me, it represents a new beginning, a new way to set an intention for the month ahead.


What are my goals this month? 
Is it to reserve myself more?
To go more inwards?
Is it to show up differently towards my kids, my peers?
Is it to connect with others?
A physical goal?
To learn a new skill?
To be more creative?

I look forward to the fresh new mindset that I have at the beginning of the month, and the fresh perspective!

To keep myself accountable, I print off a habit tracker at the end of the month and fill it in with some habits that I would like to incorporate into my life for the month. I do this a few days before the next month begins to help me set myself up for success. I find that this helps with tracking and staying consistent with getting closer to my goal.

Some of the habits that I am tracking for this month include: 

-no phone for first hour of being awake (still in your subconscious mind, most suggestible during this time frame, phones/screens are overstimulating and can trigger our body into the sympathetic nervous system (fight&flight response)
-vitamins & detox supplements 
-yoga or movement of some sort!
-Mantra 
-read Connor a book
-work on YIN course
-read 15 pages of my book a day

When I forget to or don't complete a habit for the day, I don't shame myself or negative talk myself into becoming motivated again. I acknowledge, and forgive myself. I provide myself the grace while creating the space where I feel supported unconditionally. This rewiring of my thought process helps motivate me to get back on track with achieving my goals.

Becoming mindful was my intention for entering 2023. I lead each day with this as my main focus to help steer and keep myself on track!

What are some habits that you would like to incorporate in the month of February for yourself?
Please tell me below in the comment section!


Have a wonderful Wednesday! 

From my heart to yours,

Ash Belanger

 Hello and welcome! My name is Ashley, and I am a 31 year old Canadian mamma of three! Married to the love of my life, living in the Northern part of Canada, surrounded by so much beautiful nature. My passions are yoga, meditation, connecting with nature, genuine soulful connections, practicing mindfulness and leading my life with an open heart, while inspiring others while providing them light during their darker days. I'm on a spiritual journey, where I am learning to incorporate more of my own personal values, beliefs into practice more and more each day, to live in alignment for my soul. My main focus is raising mindful little humans who leave an imprint in this World of Kindness, Compassion, Love, Understanding and Empathy. I'm a firm believer in: your thoughts determine your reality, and you are as powerful as your intentions, thoughts and beliefs. Projections are just a mirror of who you are Eastern medicine practice is the perfect balance to our Western World ways, as i...

Thirty Freaking Two!

  Happy June Friends! It's been awhile since I've blogged, so I figured it was time to get back into my mind and write out my words and thoughts :)  June is my favourite month by far. The days are longer, the Sun visits us more frequently, and it's the month of the year that I get to celebrate turning another year older & it's also our anniversary month for my husband and I! We also welcomed our beautiful Golden Retriever puppy, Willow into our family on June 2nd, and what an absolute delight it has been to have her join our crazy clan! This past weekend was exactly what my heart needed. My brother and his beautiful lady came up to visit us. We spent the weekend out at camp with my parents, and showed them our new home, and meet our new family member Willow. Creating those memories, and spending that time with them, is completely priceless to me. It was such an honour to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday with them. My heart and cup felt extremely full. Yeste...

Deep Reflection ~ Our intelligence is defined by the questions that we ask ourselves...

****  Our intelligence is defined by the questions that we ask ourselves....  What does your ideal day look like? (describe in detail; like a journal entry of what your day would look like, feel like, smell like, who are you with, where) etc. * I want to open up my eyes each morning, with the smell of fresh air and warm greetings from my husband and children. Feeling well rested and recharged for the day. The morning flows fluently, with love and connection and little to no arguing/disagreements. I am able to complete the task of getting breakfast and lunches organized for the day. I am able to move my body in some form or way, that allows the energy to flow through all chakras of my body, engaging and activating all energy channels. By practicing yoga, pilates, walking in nature, or dancing.  For both work & lifestyle, I influence those around me by making more mindful choices- to start asking themselves intelligent questions, and empowering them to find the answers ...
