“Step with care and great tact, and remember that life’s a great balancing act.”-Dr. Seuss

Do you ever feel called to do a complete Soul overhaul or life makeover?

So often, we think that once we’ve declared what we want to be different in our lives that we must go through every single area and change everything to achieve results.

Like if you want to attract a new relationship, you also feel the need to lose ten pounds, get a new website for your business and move to a more fabulous apartment. All at the same time. With a 4-page list of how we are going to achieve each one.

I see this a lot with my amazing friends and clients who tend to be over-achievers and action-takers to a hilt. (hmmm…is that you too?) We tend to attract each other.

It’s really exhausting to try and do it that way.

And honestly, it could be a lot more enjoyable and fun!

Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be so hard.

And it doesn’t have to take so much of your mental, emotional and physical energy.

The solution: Just focus on shifting ONE thing.

And by the law of Spirit, once you radically shift one area of your life, it’s like all the moving parts have to shift to create something new, but you don’t have to manually move the pieces into place. It just happens as a by-product because who you are BE-ing requires that you take different actions and behave differently than you did before.

Example:

*names have been changed for privacy.

My client *Sarah recently shared with me that her focus has been to re-vamp her self-talk in relationships. (no easy feat but yes, she is a rockstar and super awesome!) She used to really struggle with taking everything personally when date plans would be cancelled or changed and she had a really hard time speaking up and stating what she wanted without getting defensive or falling into thinking like..”I’m just not good enough. I wonder who they are really going out with tonight..This always happens to me, etc”. So we started working together and she learned how to manage her monkey mind using spiritual tools, taking the focus off this other person and back onto what she could control: her thoughts to herself. It wasn’t easy, but she has been practicing everyday and just reported that she was able to stay grounded and neutral during an event in which someone was putting out some seriously weird vibes. And the results? She’s being treated with a lot more love and respect in her relationship. “It felt amazing…and weird…but I was so proud of myself!” From this powerful place, she’s also taking better care of her physical health and has increased energy there and consequently, she’s being offered more work! Win:win:win. And all she focused on shifting was ONE THING: her self-talk space.

FYI:

Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing a 3-part series of what I’m calling “Mind Your Mind” tips that you can use to calm monkey-mind/mental stress + come back into alignment with yourself so you can go out there and rock your relationships, career and life!

For now, I want you to answer this question: 

“What is ONE area you are committed to shifting in your life? What is one powerful action you could take right now to begin?”

Example: Maybe it’s to mark a date on your calendar, to write in your journal, to call/email/text someone. To get supplies you need for this. You get it. Pick one thing!

This 5-letter word can change your life. Right. Now.

Right now energetically, you are being asked to revisit old relationships, old ways of thinking and unearth the Truth as it exists today for you.

 

How you felt and what you wanted last year is different than what you may feel and want now.And for those on the spiritual path (you!), things are happening a lot faster and there is lot less lag time for you to f*&% around and stall on major issues and situations that your Soul wants you to look at and heal.

 

Because on the other side of the discomfort is FREEDOM. Followed by a lightness and inner peace.

 

So what is the 5-letter word that can help create this?

And the key to freedom and peace starts with your level of FAITH.

 

Let me ask you: How strong is your level of faith right now? On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest level possible.

 

How strong is your Faith that even though things may seem up in the air, that you can and will land on your feet at the perfect moment?

 

Are your thoughts that you are thinking right now supporting you and supporting the idea that there is something happening behind the scenes that’s awesome or crappy?

 

Now, let’s be clear.

 

It’s not about side-stepping your responsibiities and leaving it all to Spirit while you twiddle your thumbs and watch Netflix, hoping for the best. That’s called quitting and giving up your power.

 

Faith IS about:

 

F-Following your inner wisdom.

Not letting yourself get pulled down by what other people want for you or allowing others to dump their fears and insecurities and color your Truth in a situation.

 

A-Accepting that you are more than your current circumstances

Yes, things may seem all over the place or super awesome, but the path to freedom, love and peace is about finding the middle. You are more than the awesome things and the crappy things that happen to you. You are infinite. Try that on!

 

I-Inviting in the possibility of something wonderful

This is riffing on last week’s post. Where attention goes energy flows!

What’s the BEST that could happen?

 

T-Thinking of a kind Universe who is only working on your behalf

I’d rather believe in a kind Universe. how about you?

 

H-Having little or nothing to go on except a knowing that it’s all going to work out

My personal favorite. Once you’ve taken all the action you can think of, you must detach and step into a space of surrender. Are you willing to let go of control and be okay with the grey areas of your life?

 

It will all come out eventually.

 

It’s going to be okay.

 

It already is.

Ever worried that you aren’t good enough to be in a relationship? True story + Soul tip below!

You may have heard the saying, “Your thoughts create your reality.”

Today I want to share a story with you from a woman named Sandi. It’s about the power of your thoughts, the power of self-inquiry and the decision to be powerful and loving to yourself no matter what crazy shi& happens. Note: *all names has been changed for privacy

Sandi:

Sandi is a smart, beautiful, loving woman. She was in a relationship with a man named Jim that was getting progressively more serious and she shared with me that one of her biggest fears was that he would find “someone better” than her, be swept off their feet and that they would want to leave her.

“I know, I know” she’d say. “It’s silly, but he’s so wonderful and I feel like there is going to be someone prettier, smarter and more attractive than me that is just going to make him question why he’s in this.”

But, from all the conversations we had had, it sounded like this guy really adored her and that she had nothing to worry about. But still, when we would talk, the deeper into the relationship she got, the stronger that fear would pop up and she’d worry and worry aloud, wondering about the day when the other shoe was going to drop and he’d leave her for someone else.It was a story that she seemed very certain of and each time she told it, it never really varied, although outwardly, everything seemed to be going just fine.

 

A Few Months Later

Well, a few months later, that’s exactly what happened. He left her for another woman and is now married to her and living the life she dreamed about. Now, I share this story because Sandi is an incredibly resilient, self-reflective woman and although it was an incredibly painful experience, she learned a valuable lesson that I hope inspires you to look at in your own life, relationships and otherwise.

“The thoughts that you keep giving energy to are the ones that will create your reality.”Now, was it all on her that her worst nightmare manifested?

No!

Who knows what was happening with the guy in question or what was happening behind closed doors.

The Ah-Ha

But the part that I wanted to share with you is what happened within her. She saw that she although she couldn’t control him or what he was going to do, she DID have responsibility over her predominant thoughts and energy.

And upon reflecting on what happened, she got clear. It was a huge Ah-Ha that applies to any area of your life where you are afraid or feeling insecure.

“I was putting coins in the piggy bank called I’m Not Good Enough and I could have been feeding the bank, I AM Good Enough and Then Some. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to realize what I was doing, but now I’m cleaning up how I talk to myself!”

She realized how truly powerful our thoughts are and instead of putting energy into her fears, she started using that newfound energy to daydream and visualize  a version of herself that believed she was more than enough for a man (or anything for that matter!)

Last time I spoke to her, she said she felt like a fog had lifted, she was actually smiling again and with the mental and physical energy she now had, she was actually looking forward to planning a long-awaited trip, which she had been putting off for a long time.

 

Your Weekly Soul Lesson:

I’ll say it a few different ways. Use what works and leave the rest!

When we consciously pour energy into thoughts that make us feel powerful + peaceful , we create a strong foundation for our true dreams to manifest. Click to Tweet

When the energy you pour into your fears is less than the energy you pour into your desires, you are a force to be reckoned with. Click to Tweet

Your thoughts create your reality. Ask yourself, “Where is my energy going in this moment? To my fear or towards peace? Re-direct yourself accordingly.” Click to Tweet

A new perspective on feeling lost…the GPS theory

“Life is like a compass. It shows you where you are going, but not how to get there.”

-someone brilliant (I read it in a book last week and honestly can’t remember! if you find out, let us know!)

 

Wow. When I read that, something just lit up for me.

 

Have you ever found yourself obsessing about the “how” when it comes to a relationship?

 

-How and when am I going to meet him?

-How will I know if he’s really over his ex like he says?

-How do I know if this is actually going to go anywhere or if he’s going to break my heart again?

 

How. How. HOW. Gosh we are obsessed, aren’t we?

 

Trying like hell to get the freakin compass of life to somehow miraculously turn into a GPS with the full on step-by-step zoom in, zoom out feature and George Clooney’s voice guiding us.

 

In our technology, socia media-crazed world, we are so used to getting immediate, instantaneous information that especially for the Type-A freaks like me, it’s helpful to remember that when it comes to your intuition and your internal guidance system with the Universe, it’s about going back to the basics. The opposite of a GPS approach.

 

It’s about:

-slowing down and being okay with stillness even in a busy world (your intuition speaks in subtle frequencies, not 140 characters or less.)

 

-knowing what you want or the feeling behind what you want, (clarity is important. otherwise your arrow will be spinning out and you will be very dizzy and frustrated!) and

 

-staying open and trusting enough to head into the wilderness to figure out if it’s getting you closer or taking you further away from True North. (aka what you most want.)

When you try to control the “how,” I find that that’s usually the point where we will experience:

-helplessness

-confusion

-worry

-frustration

etc.

 

And basically, we go into our head and our intuition can’t reach us all the way up there.

 

So, here’s my invitation to you. It’s a bit open-ended and unlike a lot of my other posts, this isn’t about a step-by-step solution but more of a chance to explore this sense of ease and grace that comes when you stop controlling the how. It’s about following one nudge you’re getting. Just one. And with the approach of your life being like a compass, are you open to experiment with seeing where that one nudge takes you?

 

Guiding question:

1) Where have you been trying to control the “how?” pick one specific situation in your life. (the first one that comes to mind is perfect!)

2) If you weren’t feeling helpless/confused/lost/worried/scared, etc, what is ONE nudge or insight you have about your situation that could help you let go and be more like the compass?

3) Go do that and report back! I double dare you!

 

Have a great week and if you’d like to explore further, consider booking a Soul reading for yourself!
