Episode 7 - Simplifying with Jesmine Onyeukwu

Episode 8 - Gratitude & Prosperity with Adam Guzman-Poole

This week we deep-dive with Sarah Atkinson, Owner/teacher/entrepreneur at BLISS Yoga & Thai Massage, about why Altruism plays such a role in our ability to feel happy and healthy.

In this episode we talk about:

What is ALTRUISM
How Happiness Habits 613 formed out of Altruism
When feeling LOW and ISOLATED is a PERFECT time to act in this pillar
What prompted Sarah to create the DEEP DIVE and call on others to create
Renée and Brian share what compelled them to come on board with this and other projects
We discuss what compassion fatigue is and how to address it 
Selfless service does not need to mean de-selfing

In this episode, we really like to examine the self worth attachment to the act of giving, who is the GIVING for?  What place are you giving from?  Being accountable to your needs, feelings and boundaries is ALTRUISTIC.  Really ask yourself who is the giving for? Is it consensually received?  Where is the GIVING coming from?  Is it locked in obligation, expectation or a role?

Metta, unconditional loving-kindness is an anchor and guidepost when we want to act Altruistically. Sarah gives a real-life example of how to address parenting with the lens of Radical Self-care as an act of love and care for her son.  

We end our chat with the invitation to practice a SACRED PAUSE together.  This is a tool to tune into self, our availability, our capacity and our energies.  With breath and self-awareness one can show up in the world able to act for other.  This is a great TOOL to take away as a HABIT!

Episode 9 - Altruism with Sarah Anne Atkinson

Sankalpa Sunday
December 20th, 2020

Hello and Welcome to Sankalpa Sundays.  This is week 9, the last pillar in our series.  We made this grand journey together.  We are in the PIllar of Altruism.  

Exploring Sankalpa (conscious thought affirmations) is a way to bring about your version of “Heaven on Earth”.  Tap into your divine desires and ask yourself “How am I showing up for others in this world? Am I giving from a wholehearted place?”  Lets cultivate our Heaven on Earth by making sure to check, who is the giving for? And do they consent to receive…

Some of these phrases may align with you, some may not, take what serves you and leave the rest.

By practicing Altruism I cultivate things to be grateful for
My life is filled with abundance and I pay it forward
I practice Altruism with ease
Prosperity flows through me
I surrender to the knowing that giving wholeheartedly is exponential LOVE
Acting for others in my life and for strangers brings me peace and joy knowing they lovingly received it
Knowing and enacting my personal boundaries is A BRAVE act of Altruism
I offer my (Time, Money, Energy) to …. With EASE.
I give from a place of loving kindness
I offer or invest my time and energy to causes that align with my values
I honor my gifts and share them with the world
I recognize my capacity and give without the expectation of reciprocity


Thank you for joining me on these Sankalpa Sundays. I love knowing I am connecting with community, people, friends, family and  strangers (friends I have not yet met).

Thank you for tuning in.
