the power of yet.♥️ there is an undercurrent of hope in the word yet. an invitation to begin again. in life, a perfect map never works because life is unpredictable YET, a compass and guides, become a sense of hope in that if we don’t today, simply means not yet. be you! —🐜

hydration for the 3-pound ecosystem inside our head: people, places and perspectives.🧠 #mindset

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

courage is fiercely trusting life and witnessing the essence of grace in motion. the letting go of certainty for the glimpse of magic in discovery. courage is the wholehearted participation in life, honest conversation with oneself and the people we love. courage is being you.♥️

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

mental health matters.♥️ mindfulness is unique to each of us. the art of becoming familiar with thought and affect/feeling without judgement is a freeing practice. in that beautiful space, we have linguistic flexibility to categorize and recategorize an experience: mindfully. 🐜

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

love is courage in motion. ♥️ it’s an invitation to let the thickening of the vulnerable ice be and set with affection, patience, tender silence when needed and in time, the ground becomes strong enough to support us when we rise and most beautifully, when we fall. love loudly.

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

renewal: ever-present each morning,
heavy eyes open in the gold light and an invitation to stretch us and what we give. we are not the same as yesterday and always arriving to life’s dance between celebration and grief, and today—what can you celebrate, and let go of?♥️🐜

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

in retrospect, it’s the climb that makes us who we are. the wholehearted DIG: deliberate, intentional, growth because then, we have something to give.🏔️

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

hydrate the eco-system, the beautiful aquarium the brain floats in with novelty in people, perspectives and places. 

if our thoughts are a raging river, we are not at mercy of the river, we are the river. flow like water.🌊

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

we are the type of nature that needs nurture.🌳 what investments are you making in you, today? ♥️

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

friendship is medicine.♥️

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

mindset matters. it’s not just about what we are doing, but also how we think about what we are doing. “why are you motivated by that performance?!” the better question is, how? the narrative around effort, optimizes our ability to improve.🧠

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

everything you deserve to feel is already inside you. the brain is the greatest pharmacy in the world and with the visual and respiratory systems, we can influence how we feel and thus, experience life by design vs. default.🐜

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

curiosity is medicine for the mind. awareness helps us see things differently, and within that are beautiful mind gifts for us to unwrap: what am I focusing on? what does this mean? how can I make progress? life is growth and with it, we have something to give.♥️

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

words, matter. words can span our biology a great distance. maybe, you can find a time where your phone buzzed, and the text said: I love you. how did you feel? words, become tools to regulate oneself/others. invitation: what have you been meaning to say? reflect and share it.♥️

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

everything we learn today, helps the brain plant seeds to blossom different predictions tomorrow. each day there is an invitation for renewal, we are never the same as yesterday and the more mindful we become, the more purposeful we behave—everything is growth.♥️

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

self-inquiry questions shape our experiences. the questions we ask become a portal into how limited or empowered we feel. questions birth reflection which weakens or strengthens the emotional punch in ways. what can I appreciate, enjoy or love during this process?♥️🙂 #life

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

butterflies in your stomach could mean nervousness or excitement.😄😳 we are meaning making machines and language gives meaning to the affect (feelings) in the current environment. thus, a deeper knowing can help our affect butterflies fly in formation with empowering language.🦋

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

what a privilege it is to spend a lifetime being who we are. my friend, you are not late or early for anything, this moment is exactly where you need to be, with an invitation to be authentically who you are, and this moment is life.♥️

[DeMario @Anthony_DeMario]

gratitude, affection in motion. make it simple: who are you grateful for? can you step into a moment with them? what did you see/hear/feel (savor it)? reflect, write a message and share it! beautiful surprise for them, uplifting for you. anchor in gratitude, bathe in happiness.♥️
