CONNECT WITH SOURCE: FEEL YOUR DECISIONS: Growing up you were taught to think things over which takes you immediately out of your heart space and into your headspace. I’ve trained myself to move between my head and heart space by thinking and feeling into decisions. Women who think too much have an over abundance of AIR, one of the cardinal elements that corresponds to the mental realm - thoughts, etc., so the antidote to having too much AIR is to ground and center. Go outside in nature and put your hands or feet in dirt, sand, grass – whichever is most convenient for you. MIND YOUR BUSINESS: There’s an old saying, “Not my circus, not my monkeys”. You must keep your nose out of other people’s drama in order to enjoy peace, grace and flow. Trust me I know how much all the people in your life need you, but your need to “fix” or “help” is a codependent behavior – SAVE YOURSELF and let others figure their own crap out (this applies to your children too... they need coping and decision making skills - stop getting in the way of their empowerment by fixing and doing everything for them). THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER: I make no secret that the number 3 is my second favorite number (13 is my absolute favorite number). Put no more than 3 tasks (besides your daily to do’s like exercise, etc.) on your to do list per day. Don’t fill your 45 WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH I begin each day by talking to my Creator. Most people pray or speak to Source on an as needed basis, which is lovely, but doesn’t really cultivate a strong relationship. Daily connection is what builds a strong connection. A prayer practice doesn’t need to be a whole time consuming thing, unless you desire it to be - it’s up to you. Most mornings I simply ground and center, light a candle on my altar, and ask the Divine to “show me” and use me for good in the world. This simple prayer practice starts my day off in a high vibration and with peace knowing that I’m not alone and that the Universe has my back!
