We know how it feels because we’ve been there.
As a cardiologist, Madalina spent many years buying into the pervasive beliefs of the hustle and bustle of stress. She literally spent every waking moment, to the minute, making sure she was completing all the “have to’s” and “shoulds”. Until she ran dry and depleted, trying to fulfill the incessant expectations and pushing herself to work harder and do more, which led to severe stress, burnout and debilitating physical pain.
After moving to the U.S., Cris has spent years trying to find his place and create success for himself and his family. After multiple failed business he almost gave up on himself, tempted to settle for the comfortable average. The space between his reality and what he believed in his heart was possible, was often filled with crippling stress and anxiety.
Until both went a journey of self discovery and personal growth, immersed in a plethora of programs for over a decade and learned a powerful, life-shifting lessons:
Stress, challenges, obstacles, conflicts are part of life. They will never go away.
Whether it’s the difficult boss at work, the demanding client, the conflict with your partner or your kid, the endless to-do lists, you can’t control when they happen or how challenging they are.
It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, anxious and worried. It’s part of life and part of your humanity. However you don’t want the stress to take over your life.
If unchecked, this stress can lead to reactivity, inability to concentrate, physical pain or tension, difficulty sleeping, an overall state of depletion, lack of energy that can leave you wiped out.
The natural tendency is to try to control or change the external circumstance that is causing you to feel stress.
You see, the secret to inner peace, balance and wellbeing is not about getting rid of stress so that you don’t feel stressed. It’s about discovering and tapping into your own inner resources.
It’s about creating an inner state of balance and building your resilience which allows you to powerfully show up to any challenge, no matter how difficult it may be, with an inner calm and wisdom.
The key to the inner peace, balance, aliveness, joy, clarity and empowerment we desire is found through re-connection with our hearts and tuning into our innate heart intelligence.
This allows us to uncover our most authentic, compassionate, powerful, courageous and expanded version of self.
Living a heart-centered life ignites our inherent resilience to face life’s challenges from a higher, wiser, more grounded and expanded perspective.
Life is not about surviving, it’s about thriving.
