So blessed and grateful for my family, and to celebrate starting med school at UC Riverside School of Medicine! Taking advantage of these last few months before the grind. Soaking up the sun, sharing moments - taking none of this process for granted. It's been a long road, but here we are together ?????‍⚕️#familystrong #love #perseverance #support #medschooljourney #biopsychosocial #health #fitness #nutrition #lifebalance #activelifestyle #futuredoctor #motivation #socialsupport #friends #family #love #adventure #study #learn #grow #livewithpassion #neverthelessshepersisted #medschoolmotivation #letsdothis

Now Introducing: CHA EVOLUTION - SURF OUTREACH​!

MISSION 1: ​​Pequeños Gigantes, Baja, Mexico

​EMPOWERING AT RISK YOUTH
ADDICTION REHABILITATION
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Launched October 8, 2016

​​Pequeños Gigantes...  Little Surfers, Giant Hearts 
The first session with CHA surf outreach programs at Pequeños Gigantes (meaning Little Giants) in Baja, Mexico with Effort Twotwentyfive. PG is a uniquely established facility designated for orphaned kids and females recovering from substance abuse, some are the kid's mothers. Those who participated overcame many obstacles in the few hours we were on the beach; from zero swimming ability, general apprehension of the ocean, and "perceived" weakness from previous debilitating life choices. "One woman told her story of how she has failed to stay clean many times because she lacks perseverance but said today she was not going to act as she normally does, and she didn't. Although it did take her a long time to learn to surf, she finally did it!!" Amazing how the combination of activity and nature can stimulate positive change. This day was such a transformational experience for all involved and one of the more memorable teaching opportunities I have had! Could not have happened without so many great people to inspire change in myself and to our "reality". ​

Happiness, What the heck is it? ...Really?

2/17/2015

It has been said by philosophers that the term “happiness” is intentionally ambiguous, so that we may each extract our own meaning and achieve it in our own way. True happiness, however, is something so important in life that it is worth defining and understanding in a  tangible and systematic way, so that we may actually achieve it. Throughout history happiness has been defined in different ways, from immediate pleasures to grand abstract ideologies. True happiness is, at it’s core, an “optimal state of being”, a deep and profound, flourishing sense of fulfillment that comes from within, and that involves the way in which we perceive and filter the world around us.

At times we have experienced glimpses of true happiness, in moments of extreme peace and contentment that accompany various experiences or arise in certain situations. While these moments are only glimpses, fleeting in nature, understanding how they come about can offer insight with which we can cultivate a more permanent state of being.

One of the first and most important aspects of true happiness is learning to not be pulled back and forth between the painful and pleasurable experiences of life. We must learn to put everything in perspective, and remain in touch with a foundation of “peaceful serenity”, not swayed from center by our circumstances, and certainly not reliant on them. To do this, we need to learn more about reality, specifically, how our mind works, and the true nature of the world around us.

It is the mental constructs we have created around the world and what we think will make us happy, that is the very source of our unhappiness. We see things as good or bad, and base our judgements on a misunderstanding of external reality, as well as attachment to things that either do not exist, or are impermanent and everchanging. In Buddhism, this “false reality” of ignorance and suffering is called Samsara.

Everything around us is interdependent on innumerable circumstances, and is constantly being acted upon by innumerable forces. Everything in existence is relational and ever-changing. Nothing exists on its own, in-of-itself. Understanding this creates an insight that is the foundation for happiness.

Combining this insight with the understanding that every being is capable of perfection, we can begin to actualize that perfection, and move toward a state of persistent and profound peace, called Sukha. Sukha is the state of true happiness, free of mental and emotional conflict, free of ignorance about the world, and characterized by a deep sense of joy and genuine love for every living being.
