My Higher Self

What do I need to align with my higher self?

I need magical mornings, waking up before the sun rises, feeling the warmth and magic of my home. Reading words that are spiritual and feed my soul. Writing on the mornings I want to either reflect, let go or fill up. Warm coffee that reminds me of happy hour (my happy hour). In winter, fuzzy socks, a warm fire and the feeling of warmth inside (inside my heart and inside my home). In Summer, seeing the sun rise, looking at the Ocean and feeling the gratitude of it all. It is magical and it is mine. Every season and every reason I see with clarity, gratitude, zest, curiosity and feel this magic, and share this magic.

I need to move my body. Yoga every damn day (or close to that), walks with my dogs and also walks on the beach daily. Fresh air, sunshine and movement—it stirs my soul and lifts my spirit.

I need exercise. I need to sweat. Hot Power Yoga, or a walk/run or dare I dream get on my Peloton I have barely used. Exercise that I do to stay healthy, to clear my mind, and to sweat with strength, joy and energy. I get stronger every day because I make exercise a priority, it is my oxygen along with yoga, fresh air and spiritual mornings—my magical mornings.

I need to nourish my body with Whole Foods. I eat mostly good, and I view it as fuel for my body. Nourishment that gives my energy, strength and ease. I am my right size (petite, light, and free). Though she be little she is fierce, she no longer lets the weight of the world or her empathetic, highly sensitive heart absorb what is not hers.

I need to hydrate my body. Water is my friend and when in doubt, I chug it out. I keep my body hydrated which helps me remove toxins, and shine bright!

I train my brain with good thoughts. Negativity comes up, but I make a choice each time to re-direct, and think about the beauty and wonder in all of my experiences. They are here to teach me, guide me either towards them or away from something. Guideposts and signs are everywhere and I move with curiosity, spirit, wonder and ease.

I practice gratitude, it is the foundation of my being. I have a grateful heart, I know how blessed I am and I honor that and God in all I do. I am a child of God, and I am protected, even when I am rejected.

I serve others. I am a dynamic speaker, a soul centered entrepreneur and I have a gift others need. I am skilled at coaching, teaching and I am a content creator that shifts thinking, shifts beliefs and builds confidence in those seeking more or seeking less. I am a spiritual leader that facilitates positive change and lifting the hearts and vision of those around me.

I am a loving Mother and have based my entire career and life around my family. In this next phase of Empty Nesting, I inspire other women and moms to own their lives, lead their families and become the best version of themselves. My true calling is helping others find their highest calling—we are the co-creators of our lives.

I am a wife and invest in this partnership that is so important to me. We did an amazing job raising our children and now it is our time to dream (again), to create and to heal. We are on our own paths, and I am following mine and blessing him on his. I release my tendency of co-dependency and rise up to my greatest self and greatest calling which is influencing our relationship and him in the best possible way. Partners in life but on our own paths and blazing our own trails.

I am a good friend to those in my circle. I listen, I support, I love, I laugh and I learn—I only surround myself with people who build me up and I do the same for them. Small talk is not our jam, we go deep, we laugh hard and we can count on each other no matter what. I influence the next generation to invite only positive friendships into their lives and to leave the rest behind. Some endings can be the best beginnings!

I practice self care more than ever because it is the only way I can not only feel my best, but serve this life as God has intended. I have a spirit like no other, and rather than dull it down, I have released it free and it is changing the world. My spirit, my voice and my message is in high vibration because it is authentic, it is free flowing and it is me! I teach other women how to stop dulling down and how to shine bright. We are all mean’t to shine, even in the darkness (and in spite of the darkness).

I rest. I rest my body. I rest my mind. I rest my spirit, and I teach other women to do the same. I am a warrior, but I am no longer a hustler, I no longer work hard/play hard. I work hard and rest harder—that is where true joy exists, that is where the magic happens.

Letting Go…

In order to align with my higher self, these are some things I need to let go of…

Numbing of all kinds: Alcohol, Food, Social Media, I am aware of this, and mindful of numbing for me and it’s negative impact. When I procrastinate, compare, worry, blame, obsess—it only leads to fear, negativity, shame, low self esteem, ego (in my head)—not a place or space I want to reside in. In the simplest form, being enough, being accepted, being liked, being loved is what we all want at a very human basic level. I am human, I am vulnerable, I am aware, I am here.

But also…

I am loved. I am enough. I am strong. I am confident. I am productive. I am capable. I am worthy. I am smart. I am chosen. I am ready.
