Are you existing or creating?

Just so you know, I am assigning you an intention word this year!
(I know, the audacity!)

Why?

I watch people going through life without intention and expecting life to be hard. Without intentions, you are existing and not creating. 

So what's the intention word? Storytime first!

I Love when people share a dilemma and I get to offer my insight. I especially enjoy when my response puts a puzzled look on their face and they say, you made that so easy!   

This ability has taken me years. Presence is the key to living in ease. 

Being present and slowing down allows us to come from our center, our heart, and not from fear and obligation. I know that I say this a lot, but it keeps us from making regrettable decisions, so we are not cleaning up messes later. It allows us to act instead of react, even when the action we need to take is "to wait." It has certainly been challenging for my Aries energy to wait 24 hours if needed before I respond. But I am always grateful when I do!
 
Being present doesn't mean life has to happen in slow motion. Presence gives clarity and allows us to focus on what is important. I put a lot on my plate, so I like that I can move quickly once I know my priorities. It helps me not overthink or over-complicate. It helps me to not waste energy on the what-ifs. This is my youngest daughter's favorite pastime. "But Mom, what if..." and she proceeds to list the worst possible outcomes. This is your reminder: 

Be conscious of all the possibilities, but don't take too many steps into that hole. It creates fear in your frequency. The goal of "humaning" is to keep the frequency positive, so that you attract more of what you want. 

Being present allows us to honor our experience in real-time, instead of stuffing it away for later complications. As humans, we experience challenges and trauma. LIFE IS AN EXPERIENCE and the experience is processed through ALL of our emotions.  When we don’t honor the experience, it stays in our body to show up later as another experience. Sometimes it becomes stuck energy, which is much more difficult to process if it is allowed to turn into an illness. 

I have been surprised at how my body has processed emotions this past year. I even had the audacity to be disappointed that things affected me more heavily than expected. Thankfully I sat in it. I breathed with it. I journaled and performed *EFT and *BST as needed. I meditated on the emotions, but I never fed them for too long. I stayed focused on my desires. This practice moves the experience and energy. It allows us to create the life we desire, but honoring us, and keeping focused on our desires. 

I watch people going through life without intention and expecting life to be hard. Without intentions, you are existing and not creating.

So I am assigning you an intention word for the month of January and that word is easy. I have watched a lot of people make things so unnecessarily difficult and I believe life is not supposed to be as difficult as we make it. The subconscious loves to play games with our mind and ego, but I want to challenge you to come from your heart this month and do your best to allow it to be easy. 

We are allowing 2023 to be Easy. 

Here are some things to consider when you are creating powerful, doable intentions around that: 

• Can I change it? If you can’t change it, don't give it power. Focus on what you can change. 
• How can I make this EASY!? Ask, what is the easiest and most effective way to accomplish my desires? – No one is handing out gold stickers for you complicating things. 
• Don't overthink. Be present and make a decision. If you find that decision doesn't work, Make a new decision. No need to beat up on yourself or go into regret. Learn from the experience and move on. 
• Don’t feed the stories. When you catch yourself in a feel-bad story, practice self-compassion and change the stories that you are telling yourself and believing. 
• Be present and get clear on how you want to experience this year. What is the easiest first action step you can take? 

Then create your doable intentions:

✨Create a moment of heart-centered peace for yourself:

1) Breathe 2) Visualize Love 3) Feel Love

✨Use your imagination and decide how you want to experience life and put your energy towards that.

✨Create a small doable intention, with simple actions you can take daily.

Much Love,
