Priorities vs. Values

I hope you have been enjoying summer!

I lately have been focusing on what my values are versus what my priorities are (thanks to a wonderful presentation led by Nagela Dales through the Harriet Tubman Effect Institute - check them out here!). And I noticed that while self care and health are a large value of mine, I don't always prioritize them - I don't set a strong enough boundary around the sacred time that is taking care of me. 

Are you mapping out time in your week to prioritize your health? That can be a number of different things - moving, mental health breaks, screen breaks, doctor's appointments, taking fitness classes, seeing a physical therapist, social time with family and friends, nourishing meals, laughter, sunshine. I want to encourage each of you to continue prioritizing one of the biggest values which is YOU and your health - you deserve to give yourself that time to replenish and refresh! 

And you can always do that through my On Demand classes.  It's the first of the month, so check out my latest classes that dropped today!

This month, 20% of our proceeds will be contributed to R.Evolución Latina.

R.Evolución Latina is an organization that activates individual and collective human growth through artistic experiences for transformation and social change. A Revolution of Evolution, Making a difference through the Arts.

THEIR VISION:

To grow as a strong organization that empowers and unites the Latino community with full capacity to manage and expand our programs that inspire lives through the arts.

CREED OF INCLUSIVITY:

In order for there to be INCLUSIVENESS we must be JUST and FAIR in ALL PROCESSES. We must LISTEN, SPEAK OUT, and ACT. LISTEN. It may be uncomfortable along the way, but as we listen we GROW and EVOLVE. And as we grow, we must SPEAK OUT.  WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE when we MOBILIZE. We encourage you to use your PASSION to ACT. As we continue to fight to dismantle the systems of injustice, we know it will not happen overnight. During this heavy time, SILENCE is not the answer. LOVE IN ACTION is what is needed most RIGHT NOW. Whether it be the senseless violence against a person or community of color or marginalized individuals, we, R.Evolución Latina, say their names and continue to FIGHT FOR JUSTICE alongside our brothers and sisters. LOVE is the only constant through all of this chaos & destruction.
In order for there to be a REVOLUTION, we must first EVOLVE, and in our EVOLUTION we condemn any and all hate, racism or violence toward any group of people. We stand by our Asian American/Pacific Islander community as we do with the black community and anyone subjected to discrimination of any kind.

THEIR PLEDGE:

​Dare Go Beyond by pushing my limits, taking risks and accepting challenges,
Commit myself to achieving my own goals by challenging no one but myself.
Respect The Learning Process by arriving early, listening and being aware of others time and space.
Believe that ”I Can” and to understand that mistakes happen and are necessary to help us learn.
Support myself as well as other activists by working together with my group and learning from around me.



R.Evolución Latina is an affiliate of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, one of  the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations.
