Radically Loved® with Rosie Acosta

Hello Friends, I’m Rosie Acosta. I am a Meditation Teacher; Speaker and Author of You Are Radically Loved: A healing journey to self-love. I grew up in East Los Angeles during the 92 La Riots and it set me on a troubled path for many years. I didn’t grow up with mentors in my life, so I turned to reading as many books as I possibly could to learn about life’s purpose. In my journey as a First Gen-Mexican American, I found having these conversations gave me insight, support, and inspiration. So, I decided to create a place where I could share these conversations with my community. The Radically Loved Podcast was born! How do we create a radically loved life? Come have a sit with me so we can discover all things mindfulness, spirituality, self-love, and overall healthy living. Please be sure to share the episodes that you love and also leave us a review!

Action Steps to overcoming FEAR "Let your dreams be bigger than your fears, your actions louder than your words, and your faith stronger than your feelings." – Unknown Is there a fear that you wish you could overcome? Something perhaps that you wish you could conquer? Maybe its something that is holding you back? Here are some tips to identify what is holding you back and the steps you will need to take action. 1. THE START. The thing creates most of our hesitation with starting something new, or conquering a fear is that we are to focused on the results and feel completely incapable of seeing or visualizing how we can possibly get there. Stop thinking about the result, focus on your determination and the level of commitment you are willing to make to achieve this feat. If you had to say what the first step would be… what would you say it is? This will allow you to pull back and look at the bigger vision of what you are trying to conquer. 2. ONE STEP AT A TIME. Each small step counts. Sometimes when we try to overcome something we are discouraged by a mind that says our efforts are ‘too small’ and there’s no possible way they could mean anything or make an impact. That is simply not true. Every step is like following a line in a recipe, each step made over and over and over again begins to build more and more confidence. What step can you do TODAY that will begin to build momentum? 3. FEELINGS Are NOT FACT. A huge obstacle for me was thinking that the presence of physical fear symptoms meant I couldn’t take action. You can be terrified, with a quick pulse or shaky hands or shallow breaths, and still take action. The steps you take have more value than fear, what you DO is what matters most. 4. ACTIVATE. There is this magically wonderful high that occurs after you’ve taken action that you were afraid to take. I’m not sure how many of you have experienced it, but talking to other people who have done things that terrified them, I found that I’m not alone in noticing this. Use that high to your advantage. Make it an incentive that leads you, especially in moments when you are doubtful, that you can handle the fear of taking another step. After my first lesson, I wrote down how I felt (“excited, proud, happy”) and I referred to it again before my next couple of lessons when I forgot how good I felt and needed a reminder to help tone down my fear. What action step have you taken in the past that you are proud of? 5. BUILD CONFIDENCE. Being able to take steps towards overcoming fear can build confidence. Being able to learn new things about yourself and your patterns is away more effective when you are taking steps towards achieving your goals. Having confidences offers an abundance of opportunities for growth that go beyond just overcoming a fear you may have. It’s in the action that we test our beliefs about life and our ideals. It’s only in our action where we can grow confident in taking agency over who we are and what we stand for. It’s in the action that we find out what mistakes are vital and how much stronger we are by learning from them as we go. Here’s a writing exercise to build the bridge needed to overcome Fear… Questions for overcoming FEAR: Is there a fear that you wish you could overcome? Do you believe its possible to overcome this fear? What is the very FIRST STEP you need to take? What step can you do TODAY that will begin to build momentum? What action step have you taken in the past that you are proud of? What will you do TOMORROW to continue your Actions? Today I am most confident in the fact that I….

Alexandria Crow is a fearless woman. During her first yoga teacher training, she recognized how the teachings of yoga and spiritual texts could combine in a beautifully meaningful way. She learned about presence and how one’s thoughts do not reflect one’s true self. These revelations and her yoga practice transformed her life completely. I cannot wait to share this conversation with you. Alexandria is an incredible teacher and someone I really look up to. If you find yourself inspired too, send me a note or leave a comment below. Radically Curious Alexandria Crow Getting injured by doing moves that she was told were safe and healing Questioning age-old practices of yoga teaching and starting new conversations Looking into continuing education solutions that aren’t about fancy tricks Adjusting classic yoga modalities to fit her students’ western way of being Covering topics in her class instead of sequences Radically Inspired Clarity Open your eyes. There is big change in the yoga industry. Let’s talk about it and do something about it as a collective. The things were taught about health and fitness might not be right for us as individuals. We need to make changes to keep our bodies safe. Culture meets topic and morphs it. At what point does the morphing move the topic so that it doesn’t serve the same purpose? Alexandria Crow Answers… Why is it important to have connection to lineage as a yogi? Can we go back to the way that yoga was originally meant to be taught? What’s the difference between a yoga teacher and a yoga instructor? What are you doing in your life to maintain balance? Radically Loved Quotes “We as yoga teachers only know, ‘this is what seems to have worked’, but we’ve never tried to do things in a new way.” “Yoga is a way of seeing life. It is a self-study practice that’s guiding you toward what is at any given moment.” “I don’t like being called an instructor, I like being called a teacher.” “The sutras are actually saying the body is a problem and we need to transcend it. It’s not mentioned that that’s changed and said, ‘No, let’s be here now.’” A Little More About Our Guest Alexandria Crow’s yoga experience has been about transformation. The physical challenges of yoga provided a natural familiarity for the former competitive gymnast, while the philosophy of yoga has given her tools she uses to approach life with a fearless attitude. Alex shares her personal experience of the transformative nature of yoga with her students. Her approach to teaching stems from her belief that the practice is for everyone. She guides her students step by step through creative sequences providing all of the components needed for each individual to feel successful. She encourages her students to challenge themselves while focusing on staying conscious of their body’s strengths and limits and making good decisions based on the present moment. Alex’s emphasis on paying attention allows her students to create true change and growth, something they can take with them into their daily lives. Alex completed extensive training starting with the YogaWorks 200-Hour Certification Program, followed by a lengthy one-on-one apprenticeship with James Brown (former lead teacher trainer for YogaWorks and founder of American Yoga School) over the course of almost 1,000 studio and classroom hours. Since 2010, she has been leading 200 and 300-Hour Teacher Trainings in Santa Monica, CA, and various cities around the United States.
