Whether it's self-work, employment or relationships...
put the time, energy and effort in to create and sustain what you want in your life. Nobody can do it for you!!
This profound quote comes from "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It" by -- a book we've found to be transformational in both its simplicity and its power. In fact, its simplicity may be what helps make it so powerful! There's a wonderful self-forgiveness exercise to help release you (ideally with nature's help) from what's weighing you down, and easy ways to incorporate the magic of self-love into your daily existence.
“People can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.” —Matt Kahn
So we say dive deep and get to know YOU on a profound and meaningful level 🌀

This meaningful quote, “Bloom where you are planted,” is credited to St. Francis de Sales, who lived in the late 1500s and early 1600s.
To us, it’s a reminder that you can grow and shine, even when faced with tough situations. Often times you bloom not just in spite of those challenges, but because of them…provided you learn from what’s in front of you and within you. Can you accept, even embrace, where you’re at in the present moment?
We invite you to stay grounded and find the blossoms, even small ones — which you can see in this great photo by — that inspire gratitude in your life.
We hope you never forget how important the ocean is.
🌊 It covers over 70% of our planet. We’re fortunate on Maui that it’s often only a quick glance or drive away!!
🌊 It’s our literal life source, supplying half of the oxygen we breathe and absorbing about 26% of the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere each year.
🌊 It’s home to most of earth’s biodiversity, and contains some 250,000 known species with many more still to be discovered.
helps us build awareness and inspire sustainable action to support this critical part of the biosphere.
The 2024 theme is and we thank those of you who contribute to the care of our precious ocean in the ways that you can! 🩵🌀💙

We love options!!

You choose.
Happy 🌺🌺🌺

We can’t say enough about the importance of getting CLEAR on your SELF, your values and your priorities. Who is it that you want to be?? Only you can and should decide. Blurry vision doesn’t lead to great places — clarity matters! And there’s no better time to start, especially with such clear skies above us and inspiring visuals from 🩵🌀🤙
As much as we sometimes wish we could just jump -- or teleport -- from point A to point B to avoid the painful part in between -- life doesn't tend to work that way. So embrace the uncomfortable and start walking. Give yourself grace and take it one step at a time! Be in the moment, feel your feelings and know that you WILL get through it by, well, getting THROUGH it.
Thanks to for these wise words that stand the test of time!
📸:
Whatever it takes…pranks, jokes, standup comedy, funny movies, romcoms, dark humor, dry humor, slapstick comedy, sarcasm, puns, limericks, silly dances…please find ways to laugh!! 😆🤣😂
Children are the masters at this and we can all take a page from them! Laughter is therapeutic for your body, mind and soul…plus it just makes life more enjoyable, right??
Welcome to April, and 😜
🌅 What a great reminder to embrace the light and beauty that emerges after dark times fade away, filling us with the renewal and hope that uplifts our spirit and guides us forward.

🌺 Let's decide to be aligned with the best versions of ourselves, unlocking our potential while embarking on the adventure of self discovery.
Blooms are beautiful, but they don't happen without effort or energy. The process of growth isn't always clean or quick, but the result is undoubtedly worth it.
There's so much power in new beginnings and don't forget, we have the ability to make positive changes at any time! Let's embrace the transformative essence of Spring and allow it to inspire us to bloom and thrive.
This gorgeous pineapple photo comes to us from Kristy Mvm 🍍
Did you know a pineapple is made up of dozens of individual florets that grow together to form the entire fruit? What a sweet symbol of collaboration 🤩
Taking our cue as Spring's vibrant energy approaches, let's embrace it as nature's invitation to explore and discover with each blooming flower and budding tree, offering endless opportunities for growth and renewal. Embrace your sense of curiosity and keep on growing!!

We've dedicated our quote posts this month, for obvious reasons, to the theme of LOVE. Self-love, first and foremost...along with love for others.
As February comes to a close, we wanted to share this GORGEOUS photo from along with a quote by Victor Hugo:
"Life is the flower for which love is the honey."
We chose this quote because if you think about it, honey is what's produced from a flower's nectar...which takes time, energy, dedication, support and teamwork. So does love, when it's done right!!
Hope this provides you some mindful 🌀🤔💗
We hope one day to you to LOVE the beach even half as much as 💛🌊🏝️

🌺 The Aloha Spirit embodies the harmonious alignment of one's thoughts and emotions. It encourages individuals to connect with their inner selves and to project positivity towards others. Central to its essence are concepts of mutual respect, genuine affection, and a sincere expression of love and kindness, without expecting anything in return.

It’s a good with a like this!! 🌈🤩
Mahalo for this moment of beauty 💖
Whatever LOVE means to you….embrace it, appreciate it, and perpetuate more of it in your life. 🌀💕🤙

💕 Embrace the power of love. Celebrate the empowerment found in deep affection and ignite boundless bravery through heartfelt connection. After all, life's too short!

Cactus plants symbolize endurance, persistence and power. They evolved in barren, dry, tough landscapes as strong and resilient plants, so they’ve come to represent perseverance, courage and determination in the face of adversity. The blooms show they can even manifest beauty amid the thorns and prickles.

Maui folks, how are you doing? We understand this may be a very different holiday for many here, in light of the August fires. Perhaps you feel lost, sad, lonely, angry, unsettled, overwhelmed or all of the above. If you’re having some tough moments this season, we wanted to share some wisdom from @mindfullivinggroup about three simple actions you can take RIGHT NOW to find or restore a sense of calm. Mahalo to @jess.brazil for explaining this so beautifully.

We understand the holidays aren’t always a nonstop overload of holly jolly merriment. This season may have its tough moments…and it’s okay to retreat back into your shell for a bit to rest and reset!!

With all the ways to get out and about on Maui, here’s to #exploration on this Aloha Friday! #WaiheeRidgeTrail is around 4 miles out and back, with some serious elevation gain of 1,443 feet. But your efforts are rewarded with magnificent views of Maui, surrounded by lush scenery. The trail is well-groomed, but can get muddy and slippery, so be careful. #GetInspired and enjoy the West Maui Forest Reserve with your loved ones! #WaiheeRidge #MauiHikes #MauiTrails #Hike #Hiking #LoveMaui #GetOutside #Wanderlust #GoHiking #AlohaFriday #HappyAlohaFriday #Maui #Hawaii #MauiInspired 🎥: @mauifit_alohavibes
These last few months haven’t been easy for those of us on Maui, navigating our way through in the aftermath of the fires. It’s okay to not be okay sometimes. Or maybe a lot of times, depending on what you’ve been through. We wanted to find some sources of support for those who may be feeling lost. Mindful Living Group has been a respected resource on our island since 2017. They interweave traditional mental health services together with holistic practices. With offices in Kīhei, Makawao and over on O‘ahu, they offer counseling, therapy, group workshops, acupuncture, bodywork and much more. As trusted community leaders, their team took to the shelters and hubs to offer support right away, in those first crucial days after the fires. Now, as we approach month 4, support is still very much needed. Trauma can be a complicated matter. Some people have trouble asking for help, or making themselves a priority in healing. We just want you to know, support is available through every step of your process, provided by people who live here and love this island. We spoke with Mindful Living Group founder Jessica Brazil about how to recognize ongoing emotional impacts, and what PTSD symptoms look like. This is just a short snippet; please take a look at our blog on the Maui Inspired website for more details — we have an additional video on there with advice from Jessica on three actions you can take immediately when you start to feel overwhelmed. If any of this helps just one person in some way, we’re glad we posted it.

Follow the footprints (in whatever form they take 🐓👣🐾) and get yourself to the beach!!

It's well beyond a walk in the woods. 🌳☺️🍃 Originating in Japan as Shinrin-yoku, forest bathing is a slow, gentle experience intended to help reconnect you with the natural world, as you gain knowledge through senses and self-exploration. Forest Bathing Hawai‘ifounder Phyllis Look is a certified forest therapy guide who offers sessions at LLyon Arboretum on O‘ahu. She wanted to share this peaceful practice with folks here on Maui. She's organizing forest bathing sessions at Maui Nui Botanical Gardens in Kahului on Saturday, November 11th and Sunday, November 12th and hopes to offer them for free to Maui fire survivors. She shared some thoughts with us about what makes this experience so special, and you can learn even more in our blog 🌿 https://mauiinspired.com/forest-bathing-to-help-maui-fire-survivors/ The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy kindly made the first donations! More sponsorships are always welcome. Registration for the Maui sessions will open shortly, so stay tuned! #ForestBathing #ForestTherapy #ShinrinYoku #ForestBathingHawaii #GetInspired #MauiInspired #MauiOutings #MauiEvents #MauiActivities #MauiGardens #MauiWalks #MauiNuiBotanicalGardens #GetOutside #Walk #LoveMaui #MauiSupport #MauiStrong #MauiWellness #Wellness #SelfCare #SelfLove #Nature #FindPeace #StressLess #BreatheDeep 📽️: MMaui Video & Marketing
