Meet Choklate Moore

We were lucky to catch up with Choklate Moore recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Choklate, thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.

Optimism is my way to move through challenges quickly oftentimes challenges take us to alternate spaces, energetically, where we tend to harp a bit on the way they feel to our humanness and also how unfair it feels or seems, we often think it’s the return of bad karma and any other myriad of triggered considerations and my way to get out of those otherwise dark spaces is to believe brighter ones are on the way and spend some of that energy on the thought of them to aid in manifestation.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I am a singer/songwriter, work in the social services field and am a yoga and meditation instructor. I’m excited about bridging the three of those parts of my life most specifically and I’m also super interested in real estate.

I believe the best of our fullest potential is a gift to us and therefore a gift we’re responsible to give to the world in some way.

My next cool happening, based on when this comes out, is that I’m releasing new music for the first time in about 10 years. The new song is called “Say So” produced by Focus… and is a song about knowing the power of thoughts and words and wielding them intentionally in your life.

Say So is the first song I wrote on the album and I wrote it because I needed to manage my nervous system far better while processing that the artistry side of my life might take center stage in my life, again. I didn’t see it coming and was super nervous and saying I was scared to anyone who would listen. Those that truly love me, all said the same thing. Watch your mouth. Choose another descriptive word. So I wrote Say So to get me to the space of being empowered in my choice of thought and language to shift the way that I was experiencing this burgeoning time in my life vs being afraid of it and letting how it felt wreck my nervous system.

I hope it gets stuck in folks head so that they hear themselves when they’re being hard on or not believing in themselves and giving self doubt a lil too much room in their thoughts. I hope it helps someone wield their entire selves more intentionally.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Working in social services with folks who are putting one foot in front of the other to get themselves in a better position in life gave me compassion, which has been a powerful tool. I’ve had to work on boundaries, but I believe compassion is a superpower.

Knowing how to regulate my own nervous system as life happens for me from my Yoga Teacher Training was a life-changing super life skill acquisition for obvious reasons. Life can be a very heady experience, and knowing how to keep my feet on the ground has helped me not let the impact of life’s sometimes aggressive pivots and happenings knock me off my square.

The final skill is a bit of a combination: Creativity and wonderment w/ life as a creative expression. The art has both broken and healed me. Music is my toxic lover, but it is a gorgeous adventure.

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?

The Four Agreements:

“Be impeccable with your word”
“Do not take anything personally”
“Do not make assumptions”
“Always do your best”

My life was never the same after learning how to embody these agreements w/ myself.
