2010 was Ahhhmazing! AND I'm ready for 2011!

A year ago I set the intention to have my best year yet! Looking back on it I am grateful that I indeed fulfilled those intentions.  2010 was a year dedicated to cultivating SELF-LOVE and HONORING MY WORTH.  Making this decision involved taking different actions in many areas of my life.  Here are  some of the highlights:

Me in 2010

I became more aware of my body and how STRONG I am especially when I take care to eat the right foods, get enough sleep and remember to laugh out loud a lot!  This year was a healthy one!  It was great to witness the changes in my physical body and how it affected how I looked and how I felt. 

Also, this year I deepened my spiritual awareness by adapting a meditation practice.  I highly recommend Wayne Dyer's Ah Meditation for manifesting what you want to create in your life.  There are many guided meditations easily available.  If you want to know more about it, a simple google search will lead you to endless options.  This is an area I want to continue cultivating in the next year.  Sitting in silence, quieting my thoughts, and allowing my power from within to guide me is one of the greatest gifts I can give myself daily.     

Me in 2006

Major for this year!!!  I sought out to be an intenSati leader, and went for it with my whole heart and soul using the principles of the practice to prove to me that it doesn't matter where you've been in the past.  It doesn't matter that I didn't have a background in fitness or that just 4 years ago I weighted in at 30 lbs more than today (see pic to the right)!  All that matters is what and how I choose to think and feel right now, so I can take the actions necessary to create the future I want to see.  A year ago, I never imagined I'd be leading 3-4 intenSati classes a week and teaching at Equinox--the home of intenSati. This practice taught me to fall in love with myself, and to believe in who I am.  This is WHY I wanted so much to share this with so many people.  My journey was fueled with joy, gratitude, and appreciation for all of the individuals who attended my classes, as well as family and friends near and far who offered encouraging words of support.  And I cannot thank Patricia Moreno and the Sati Life community enough!  From Warriors to Leaders, your joy, successes, and your determination to move past temporary failures inspired me and OPENED MY HEART!  Thank you all for believing in me and reminding me that as long as I believe it, it shall be.  I'm happy to report that starting next week I have added 2 more classes (1 in EQUINOX NYC, and 1 in CAN DO in NJ) to my weekly teaching schedule.  Join my FB group intenSati with Triccia for more details.

Before I discuss my 2011 intentions, let me share also that 2010 was a year of DECIDING NOT TO SETTLE FOR LESS!  I had put my 'dream relationship' on hold, seriously questioning if I was meant to have that special LOVE in my life.  For many years, I believed that it just wasn't in the cards for me and so I gave up and settled for much, much less.  I began this year with a FIERCE DETERMINATION not to continue these limiting beliefs, by saying goodbye to the man who had held a piece of my heart for far too long!  And while it was very difficult and painful, with each passing day I felt more free, more certain, that by saying NO to what I didn't want, I was saying YES to ME!  I WILL have my Dream relationship.  And this I KNOW for sure!

This process of putting myself back on track regarding love and relationships took the entire year!  Well, almost the entire year! Last night, Dec 30th,  I went on a date--my first one in 2010 and it was a great one, and that's all I'm saying for now:)

YES!  I'm declaring 2011 to be the year I discover the beauty of being in LOVE with the perfect one for me!  And I TRUST that things will unfold as they should!  I will fuel my DREAM with the magical vibes of the season and will FOCUS on the outcome I desire, NO MATTER WHAT!

Thank you for reading my blogs these past 12 months:)  Onto the next...

Have a Happy New Year and may 2011 be a year full of SUCCESS, JOY and LOVE!!!

With Appreciation,
Triccia

What I Celebrate, Appreciates!

Happy Holidays! I love this time of year! One of my favorite SATI affirmations is "what you celebrate, appreciates!" So celebrate LOVE, JOY, SUCCESS, and HEALTH! Yes health! So just because it's December doesn't mean you have to let it all go and gain 5-7lbs, which is what the average person gains.

NEW Class Updates and Turkey thoughts!!

So excited to share with you that I have two new classes starting in December and both are in NJ!  So all of you Hudson County WARRIORS, get ready to get intenSati'sfied!  Please let all of your Jersey peeps know about it!!
Thursdays 5:30pm at CAN DO Fitness in Edgewater, NJ.  
Saturdays 10:30am at Club H Fitness in Jersey City, NJ   

Now, onto Turkey thoughts....WITH DISCIPLINE I AM FREE TO BE A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER ME!  This is one of the lines from this month's series called SHINE!  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it really is about family and food!  Lots of family and lots of food!  The temptation to overeat and drink too much while in the comfort of our loved ones is just too hard to pass up!  And so for many years I didn't.  I would let myself indulge and enjoy.  Hey it's just one day, right?  What would then happen next is that I would go into a food coma and fall asleep and miss out family time:(  Oh, and I work retail so Black Friday is always a big day for me, so being lethargic the day after was never a good move!  And I always regretted it!

So this year, I will practice discipline by taking my time tasting and enjoying my food and not eating as if I'm in a race falsely believing that if I eat too slow all the good stuff will run out and I'll miss out!  No, that never happens because every year there's always too much food leftover anyway!  Also, I will be present to my family.  I intend on showing up and having a meaningful experience versus just going through the motions.  I intend to honor the true meaning of the day, by giving thanks for all of the blessing in my life.  I am excited because my Mom will be in town, and it will be the first Thanksgiving in 4 years that we'll be together!  Don't get me wrong!  I WILL EAT AND ENJOY!! But this time I will be present and I will know when I've had enough.  And there is plenty of Sati before and after Thanksgiving to burn off that Turkey goodness!!  No regrets!!  Aaaahhhhh! 



This week intenSati classes abound!! 

I am teaching at Ripley Grier on Wednesday 11/24 6pm!  I hope you will join me!  It will be my last class there for 2010!!

Also, on Wednesday night at 7:30pm Equinox Park & 33rd with Jolynn Baca members and non-members welcome so please come early and bring ID!

Then on Thanksgiving morning at Equinox Greenwich 10am with Darbi Worley!  Again, members and non-members welcome...just come early with ID. What a great way to start the day!

And for you Boston peeps, on Sat 11/27 Equinox Back Bay intensati with Natalia Pertzela at 9:30 am, 10:30 core. $25 for non-members.  Don't miss this special event!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!!

BRILLIANT!

That's the word supermodel, Iman, used to describe intenSati on yesterday's episode of the Wendy Williams show!  See link below to watch the clip.  FUN!!

One of the main ideas behind intenSati is "thoughts become things"!!  And our actions, therefore, are our beliefs in motion.  So rather than looking out and blaming external factors for your circumstances, can you instead look within and examine your beliefs about your self and your dreams?  It's not as easy to do, but it sure is much more empowering!  When we align our thoughts and attitudes, taking action toward our dreams becomes easier to do!  It's not just what we do that matters!  It's what we believe about ourselves that matter more!  It all starts with our thoughts.  In intenSati we challenge our old, limiting beliefs by saying positive affirmations out loud.  We do this to reprogram that inner voice that is full of doubt, fear, worry, regret.  And we practice new thoughts that  empower, inspire, and elevate our being! 

I particularly love the lower body portion of this month's SHINE series:

What I sow is what I reap
All I need is within me
I have the power to choose
To believe in my dreams

With love,
Triccia

Sati with me either on Thursday 6PM Ripley Grier 520 8th Avenue OR Saturday (this week only) 8AM Powerhouse Gym in Bridgewater, NJ

10.10.10

Can you believe it's October? 2010 is going full speed ahead! This past Sunday was 10/10/10. And while I'm sure those numbers have varying meanings to many people, I got to thinking about those numbers and wondered am I living a 10/10/10 in Love, Career, Health? Am I playing big in all 3 areas? Am I pursuing my dreams wholeheartedly with passion, excitement, and enthusiasm? To be honest the answer is no, I am not! I know exactly where I am playing big and where I have been playing small! However, I am committing to playing full out for the rest of 2010 in the above mentioned areas! Over the next few days I am calling in clarity as I set my intentions by remembering WHY I want what I want in the above areas. I am calling in peace of mind as I accept and embrace where I am today as the starting point for this journey, reminding myself that my power is in the present moment. I will then be putting together an action plan that is best suited to have me feeling, and being my best self. This is a tall order I know. And I am willing to go for it with a full knowing that what I want is already here for me! And this I believe.

How about you? What areas of your life are you going after and are you ready to achieve greater success and confidence? The decision to go for greatness takes courage and a lot of heart! The great thing about this is that I am not alone and neither are you! In intenSati we affirm our willingness to take responsibility for our lives and by doing so we lift ourselves up! And when we are uplifted, we consequently uplift and inspire others around as too! This is why people love coming to an intenSati class! We actually refer to it as a Practice. It is a way of being. Deliberately choosing our thoughts, emotions and actions to manifest our dreams takes practice and lots of love. If this sounds good to you, then do yourself a favor and show up for yourself! Show up to be inspired by inspiring someone else!

So how about it? Are you willing to go for your 10/10/10 in 2010? Join me and other powerful Sati Warriors every Thursday 6pm at Ripley Grier at 520 8th Avenue bet 36th/37th St. Class is $15 or 4 for $50. Want an even better deal? Class is FREE for you if you bring a friend who has never SATI'ed before!

Much Love to You!
Triccia

This month we are doing the ABUNDANCE series! I have posted the words on my FB group intenSati with Triccia Wall.


***Still some spots left for this Sunday's Warrior Body Urban Retreat. Join intenSati creator, Patricia Moreno and HG Life Coaching for a special one day urban retreat this Sunday, Oct 17th! I attended one of these in April of '08 and since that day, I knew my life would never be the same!!

Abundance is the WORD

This Fall season what are you wanting?  What are you expecting?  And are you allowing all good to come to you? 

You see, it all starts with appreciating what we already have.  When we resonate with what we have achieved or accomplished, and we notice the abundance already in our lives, we magnify that energy and the Universe brings forth to us more of the same!  The fall season is about harvesting our experiences from the spring season of goals and the summer season of activities!  So take a moment to acknowledge what is all around you.  Take a moment to be and feel contentment knowing that divine order has been established and you are exactly where you are supposed to be right now.

This idea is so close to my heart right now.  I was feeling disappointed about not getting a regularly scheduled class at Equinox for Oct/Nov/Dec.  How it works is they put out schedules on a quarterly basis.  So any sort of teaching I do at Equinox will be on a substitute basis, for now.  So I thought about it and I realize the disappointment I was feeling is really more about my insecurities and doubts about whether or not I am good enough to be there, good enough to have a class etc.  Thank goodness for Sati, because I actually caught myself with these negative self-defeating thoughts.  You see we are the thinker, we are not the thoughts.  And so I am actively choosing thoughts that empower me.  I know I AM good enough, I AM enough!  I AM ALREADY HIRED!  Duh!!!   I know you must think I'm being silly right now, but I assure you I am not alone:)  I wish I was in class right now to see some of you nodding your heads in agreement because you know you have your own share of silly thoughts about yourself:)  What about you?  What self defeating thoughts or limiting beliefs are keeping you from resonating with your abundance right now?  There's a line in this month's series where we say, I WILL IMPROVE MY MOOD, I WILL CHANGE MY ATTITUDE!  I WILL LIGHTEN UP, I WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER!  So I invite you to do the same!  Join me in class as we resonate with abundant energy!  WHEN I FEEL ABUNDANT, ABUNDANCE FINDS ME!

intenSati with Triccia is Thursdays 6pm at Ripley Grier Studios on 520 8th Avenue bet 36th and 37th Street Room 16K




Well now that all the silliness is out of the way, I want to take some time to celebrate the ABUNDANCE of opportunity for you to take intenSati classes where ever and whenever!  YESS intenSati is THAT GOOD and you need waste no more time and get yourself to class!  IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

Thoughts Become Things--Mike Dooley

This month I am reading the book,  Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams by Mike Dooley.  The author does an excellent job of simplifying the idea that our "thoughts become things."  He says that by directing our thinking, we can direct our experience.  Just in these past couple of weeks, I've had the fortune of putting these ideas to work.  And although scary and nerve-wracking at first, just like anything else, the more I practiced my "new thoughts" the easier it became to Be-Live them! 

For example, just three weeks ago I had never entertained the idea of teaching intenSati at Equinox.  Many of you know that I have been a member there for over a year and a half now and that it is the only gym in NYC that offers intenSati.  So when my friend Nesty asked me if I would teach there at the end of my Sati leader training, I quickly responded, "Oh me? No! No, I'm not that! I'm not that good! People who teach there are the best! They're perfect! I have love handles!"  Yes I said all of those things and probably more!  Nesty who has been coming to my intenSati classes at Ripley Grier couldn't believe what he was hearing and what I was saying, and so he started saying some of our affirmations and series one liners back to me to show me how silly I was.  Thank you Nesty!  I had to admit, he had a point!  The date was Tuesday, July 27th.


Two days later at my intenSati class, I shared with my students my willingness to practice a new thought, to think a new idea which involved me teaching at Equinox.  I was willing to believe differently of myself.  And it felt good.  This was on Thursday, July 29th.

Three days later, I received an email from Patricia Moreno informing me that she included my name on a list of people she was recommending to audition at Equinox.  WHATTTT?  Whoa, Universe that was quick!  The date was Sunday, Aug 1st!


Upon reading Patricia's email, I quickly emailed the person best suited to get me ready for the audition, and made an appointment.  A week later, I had a private coaching session with intenSati premier leader, Erika Shannon.  So giving, and so empowering, Erika reminded me that I HAD what it takes.  She convinced me that I had the power and precision behind my moves, the passion behind my voice, that I am FUN, and that these were all qualities important in getting hired.  Yes, these are all ideas I already believed to be true.  But my doubts were in full effect, which happens whenever I go to the edge of my comfort zone!  Erika's bad ass attitude definitely rubbed off on me, in a positive way of course.  And by the end of that hour, I was READY!  The date was Aug 8th!


Tuesday, Aug 10th I ROCKED THE AUDITION!  I knew I did my best and I walked out of there feeling SUCCESS-full knowing that I had now become someone greater than I was 2 weeks prior.  I now had a different belief about myself.  A more empowering one!  They said we would hear within 2 weeks if we are hired.  I felt awesome!  Whether or not I get hired wasn't as important as who I had become along the process.  My self-imposed limiting beliefs had been lifted.  Aaahhhh!  I BELIEVE IN MY SUCCESS and I WILL KEEP THE FAITH! 

Tuesday, Aug 17th, email from Mark Hendricks--I GOT THE JOB!!!  Whew-HOO!!!  YESSSS! 


Thoughts Become Things!  By directing our minds, we direct our experience! 

In intenSati, we use our mind as our source of power!  We are FREE to CHOOSE what we see.  And we have FAITH that it is all working out....One of my favorite affirmations that Patricia uses, "When I honor myself, the world shifts around me."

Hope to see you tonight at 520 Ripley Grier!  Life is GOOD!  Let's CELEBRATE!

With Love,
Triccia
