Flow mindsets make everything easier!
In The Beginning...
Whew, I get overwhelmed just thinking about all that.
I really wanted to figure out what mindsets are all about though, because I knew they are the keys to exploring your potentials, and experiencing happiness and freedom.
I invested tons of money and a couple of decades into learning mindbody science and healing, spirituality, and consciousness practices; plus high tech sports gear. I deeply desired to understand the relationship between one’s inner and outer game, and experience true fulfillment. I chose action-adventure sports and wilderness exploring as a way to do that with measurable results.
Why?
I loved sports as a kid and my dreams of becoming an Olympic figure skater were crushed when I was 14. I had to wear a body cast (collarbones to hips) for grades 9 to 11 when I was diagnosed with scoliosis, plus I already had braces on my teeth. Being ambushed with emotional harassment in middle and high schools and physically restrained as an active, adventurous teenager — on top of my frustration with the politicking and hidden agendas of coaches — catapulted me into the outdoors where none of that stuff could hold me back on my quest for accomplishment and self-fulfillment.
Nature taught me:
- When you're outback skiing, jump off a ledge and knock yourself out, it's not the snow's fault. It indicates your perception or alignment were off.
- When you’re in a perfect moment in a remote stunning location standing beside a tree and you’re upset about something, it’s not the tree’s fault. It indicates you're missing the moment of Now.
- When you stay your course paddling through breathtaking rapids, biking down extreme rock faces in Moab and survive the undertows of the Mexican Pipeline...it indicates you're on your game and in your zone because your mindset game is strong.
This is the essence of Mindsets On Demand™ training.
OUTDOORS I COULD EXPERIENCE PURE NATURE and pURE ME — PRACTICE PURE MINDSETS and flow.
“Learning how to make mindsets that matter and get into them on demand happened during my first do or die experience in the wilds of Canada’s north.
It’s taken me years to understand the extent of my integrated bodymind approach to consistently get into my Flow states on demand. Now I’ve developed an effective and down-to-earth framework to teach you.”
Hey there, I'm Donnamarie.
I know about navigating challenge and change, reinventing yourself, doing what matters, embracing possibilities and potentials, and upping the adventure-fun factor in life. I’m an only child who moved around a lot with my zoologist dad and registered nurse mom. By the time I was 15, I had moved 8 times — attended six schools in two countries. I had to handle a lot of big changes from a young age.
Being continually introduced to new people, places and things always had me expanding my comfort zones. This process grew my curiosity into an intrinsic quest for adventure, propelling me to reinvent myself and excel in 27 different positions across 15 job sectors, live in 20 locations, move more times than that; while pursuing my love of sports, art, nature, self-awareness and spirituality.
Having the right kind of mindsets at the right time and creating new Flow states has connected me to amazing and extraordinary experiences ... and like Seth says "...create a life you don't need a vacation from".
