connection – Diana Dorell

Happy Tuesday and Spring!

Have you been cleaning stuff out early like me?

Sometimes I feel like I’m in a constant state of decluttering.

It’s so freeing to organize, let stuff go and clean!

Spring time is the perfect season to re-evaluate what you want to give life to and also notice what renews your energy and what depletes it.

When it comes to love and relationships, so often we stay too long in connections that we’ve outgrown or that deplete us.

You may stay because you are afraid of hurting the other person or feel afraid of the changes required of you if you move on, without any guarantees of what will be waiting for you on the other side.

Or you may worry about what someone or the mysterious “they” will think.

But Spring invites you to take stock of our most important relationships and to get super clear on your values. So that you put your energy into things that feel aligned with your most authentic self.

Some examples of values are: Beauty, Power, Health, Family, Leaving a Legacy, Freedom, Passion, Creativity, among others.

Are you game for a bit of spring cleaning?

This week, let’s do a Spring Clarity List!

I encourage you to take out a sheet of paper. Draw a line down the middle.
On the left, write down your top 3-5 values. The things you want to measure everything against for the next 30 days. What is most important to you right now?
On the right, write down at least 5 people you are in relationship with. This could be from any area of your life. Your intuition will share the first names that come. Trust that.
Then ask yourself, “Does this relationship with this person align with my values? If so, which one(s)?” If they don’t, then ask yourself what you are getting out of the connection. And what fears come up around making changes or exiting it. For the ones that do, celebrate those connections and commit to spending more time and energy with them over the next 30 days!

That’s it!

Q: What came up for you as you did this exercise? What is one of your top values?

Hit reply and share if you feel guided and happy Spring!

ps: Would you like a spiritual mentor to go to the next level of trusting your intuition, and attract healthy, lasting relationships? Let’s talk!

Happy Tuesday!

How are you?

Wanted to share something with you today that I hope will invite you to open your heart.

In light of the recent events in Texas, appreciation for what I have in my life came up so strongly.

My father lives in Houston and he had no power or running water-and for the brief moments when I did get to speak with I’m on the phone before it went out again, he shared how the neighbors were all banding together to help each other with resources.

I reconnected with a childhood friend whose parents are also there and she shared how their local church was supplying water for others.

And finally, one of my fellow Goddesses actually had eloped and planned to be on the beach for her ceremony and got stuck in the storm-her best friend was flown in for the ceremony and because conditions were what they were, all three of them had to stay in one hotel room during her honeymoon!

Talk about an opportunity to get closer! What could have been a disastrous time ended up being a time to laugh, connect and enjoy an unconventional experience together.

But it brings me to this point: In any moment, we can choose something to appreciate or we can choose something to complain about.

And when it comes to love, when you are truly appreciative of the relationships that uplift you in your life NOW (friendships, family, work associates, clients, etc) you signal the Universe to send you more people that match that frequency!

It’s a great week to do an Energetic Inventory.

Here are two questions to journal on as we come to the finish line of February:

Q: Which relationships drain you and feel like you are compromising your authentic self?

Q: Which ones do you need to honor more? These are the ones where you feel like you are accepted and loved for who you are.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t good enough when it comes to dating?

Anxiety that comes up after you don’t hear from a really great second date where you though for sure things went well?

Or how about when you have this awesome day and then one thing happens that completely derails your mood and you wonder WTF you can do to climb out of it?

No one teaches us how to love ourselves in these moments.

Self-love isn’t some luxury thing we only do when there is “enough money,” “enough time” or “enough (insert whatever you want).”

It’s right up there with physical health and maintenance – it’s emotional maintenance!

If you struggle with that (I certainly did!), I have found that it’s often the small, bite-sized things that we do consistently that really make a difference.

And self love is no different.

You have to learn to crawl before you can walk!
