Permission to Unleash your True Potential

Truth. We have been living in a culture that has the tendency of bombarding us with external messages as to what “success should” look like, feel like, sound like, be like. These ideas and unrealistic expectations that are driven by systems and corporations can leave you feeling pretty defeated many times throughout your life. And overtime these skewed messages are internalized and can alter our core belief system (being we are all worthy of love) leaving us blocked and/or limited within our own power.

Thankfully, we are living in a time where we are seeing more and more systems breaking down as they are no longer sustainable. It only takes a global pandemic to shed some light into our lives and encourages us to really evaluate how we are living and where we are choosing to put our time and energy. The power of this light acts as a contrast, sometimes creating a lot of external and internal struggle. However, these challenges are the gifts that ignite the light within ourselves, motivating us and giving us permission to unleash our true potential and discover our true passion, purpose, dreams, creations and inspirations.

LIVING A LIFE FROM YOUR HEART

True success is living a life through your heart and creating a life that you truly desire beneath the fear and expectations we have for ourselves, others and Source.

In fact, our hearts’ only want two things…

~to know what are dreams are~

By giving ourselves permission to acknowledge what our dreams and aspirations are we can begin to break down the limiting belief systems we were raised and conditioned with and start living from a place of inspiration. Abundance is limitless. There is more than enough for every living being. In fact, abundance expands the more times we tap into this energy field. Admitting our dreams to ourselves does not however magically make them appear.

Therefore, our hearts also want us…

~to put action steps towards achieving them~

Living from our heart is the practice of stepping outside of our comfort zone and putting action steps towards our dreams and aspirations to make them our reality. However, it can be overwhelming when our dreams are so big that we don’t see how they are attainable.

Imagine a lego structure completely built and intact (this is your dream). It is important to take one little lego block of an action step at a time when setting your goals. As you take one little baby step at a time towards your dream it is easier to enjoy the process and feel successful at the same time.

WHAT DOES MY HEART SOUND LIKE?

I’ve had many clients ask me this question. They want to follow their hearts but they don’t know what she/he sounds like.

Think of your heart like any other muscle… you have to exercise it to build its strength… and it takes practice.

Start by asking your heart simple questions. Whether it be before you grab that chocolate bar or before you head out for a run, ask yourself, “is this being loving of myself?”

When you are listening for her/his response, keep in mind that your heart has a quiet, soft voice and comes from your chest area. If the answer is loud, pushy and comes from your head area then you know to ask the question again and listen carefully for your heart’s voice instead.

LIVING LIFE BY YOUR HIGHEST VALUES

Think of three areas of your life that you find truly inspiring. After admitting some of your dreams and aspirations this may change what your highest values are. Know that these values can change over times as you grow and heal.

Write out what you want, how you want to feel and/or how you want to think under each topic. Use present tense when creating your sentences (i.e., I am grateful for listening to my heart and following through with action steps). When we use present tense statements as if what we want is already happening we are setting clear intentions for the universe to deliver our requests.

Use your highest values to help you stay focused when living your day to day life. Use them to help you decide where you put your energy and with whom you spend your time with. If you cannot see how your choices and/or decisions support the values you live by then use this to help guide you to a better option that is more aligned with your heart.

Here’s to the next ten years of wondering, exploring, manifesting and creating on this divine sacred land. How does it get any better than this?

Making Time For Yourself As A Divine Mother

Like any other mamma goddess I too am learning all over again how to make good use of and be creative with my time with now having two little munchkins in our journey. However, mother or not learning how to create time for ourselves takes a conscious effort and a bit of discipline. 😉

It’s definitely not always easy and there are many moments, hours, sometimes days where I feel like I am losing parts of myself. However, with time I am learning to find gratitude in the moments of challenge as well as the moments of support and see that they both serve me to where I am being guided. I am constantly having to remind myself that the moments of struggle are short lived and are usually the triggers that motivate me to do my inner work, bringing me back to a place of balance where I am better able to honour myself, worth and time.

Whether I am having a day where I feel rejuvenated and grounded or a day when I feel tired and off centred, my intention is to utilize the space I do have in ways that will help raise my vibration so that I feel inspired to show up as a loving self, partner and mother. If we are able to identify and assess how we are feeling in the moment then we can better choose the appropriate action step that will help re-ground and centre ourselves. Through trial and error we grow an awareness and learn the action steps that make us feel depleted versus the ones that make us feel fulfilled.

WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO FIND SPACE HERE ARE SOME INSPIRING WAYS TO UTILIZE YOUR TIME TO HELP RAISE YOUR VIBE…

DROP EXPECTATIONS AND GET BACK TO BASICS

On days when you are feeling challenged it can feel especially difficult to achieve what we “want” to. Drop those expectations and find something simple that will make you feel loved and purposeful. We always want to build to success. Make your goals attainable so you feel confident and proud at the end of the day. Take a shower, shave, blow dry your hair, eat a healthy snack, etc. Remember to celebrate these small victories along the way. You are worthy.

CREATE A SPOT TO CALL YOUR OWN

Every individual is worthy of love and is therefore worthy of having a space to call their “own”. It can be a cushion on the floor in a corner of any room in the house. A place where you can go to reflect, re-group, meditate, release, feel gratitude, feel grief, whatever feels right to you in the moment. Decorate the area with items that make you feel loved and inspired.

SCHEDULE YOUR ME TIME

Sometimes we have a hard time committing to ourselves unless we have “scheduled in” time for ourselves. Get your partner on board and put your time on the calendar (even if it’s for 10 minutes). As your confident grows schedule in some sort of a treatment once a month to help foster the alignment of your mind, body and soul. Some treatments could include: osteopathy, reiki, recconective healing, body talk, massage, etc.

MEDITATION AND/OR YOGA

Even if it’s for 5 minutes… making space to sit in stillness and/or stretch your body does a mind, body and soul wonders. You don’t even necessarily need to know what you are doing. The fact that you are making the conscious time for yourself will make you feel supported.

HONOUR YOUR FEELINGS

Using your feelings to help you navigate your journey and where you are being guided strengthens our awareness and expands our consciousness. There are many moments where our girls see me bawling my eyes out and hear me describing how I am feeling. This not only models to our children that it is safe to feel what they feel but it also helps them build their schema of feelings so they can better articulate their feelings as they ride their own waves. Not to mention it allows us to better support them as their guides when they can articulate their feelings so effectively. Further, by allowing ourselves to feel the depth of our feelings we are cleansing our consciousness of blocks that otherwise layer when we don’t give ourselves permission to feel everything.

BE YOUR BEST FRIEND

There isn’t anyone else on the planet who can love you like you can. Find moments to send yourself loving messages and pay attention to how you speak to yourself when moments are hard. When you feel like you are on top of the world, go a step further and tell yourself how proud you are of yourself. When the challenges arise, show yourself self-compassion and speak to yourself as if you were talking to your best friend. When we are triggered by our challenges these are just subconscious stories that have not been released. Give yourself kudos for your perseverance and remind yourself that these challenges are helping you grow.

CELEBRATE YOUR INNER CHILD AND GODDESS

There is nothing freer than tapping into this side of ourselves. Embrace play, create something new, sing, dance, read an audible book, have a bath, light a candle, sage the house, put on the diffuser with your favourite essential oil, and/or express your sensuality to help raise your vibration and thrive.

ACCEPT WHERE YOU ARE… ENJOY!

It’s so easy to find ourselves comparing ourselves to others when we are struggling and even when we are thriving. Trust that you are in the right moment at the right time and enjoy the experiences that surround you. Breathe into these moments and bring your senses to life. What do you see, smell, hear, feel, taste in this segment of time?

KNOW YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE

I am a firm believer in making time to do your inner work as many times things that trigger us are just blocks in our subconscious from when we were younger. When we free ourselves and balance these experiences with gratitude we are better able to flow with life. We learn to hear what our heart wants and then put action steps towards making them our reality. Deciding to sign on with my coach not only helps me stay focussed on my life goals but it also supports me when I veer off track. My own life transformations inspired me to want to coach others to learn how to live from their hearts as well. Through my coaching sessions and packages I am so grateful to see my clients thrive at their inner and outer game, living a life they desire.

If the kiddos are around and you can’t find alone time…

BE CREATIVE

Let’s be honest, there are many days where our kiddies are demanding every ounce of our time. During these moments, get your kids involved and show them what taking care of yourself truly looks like. It’s not always ideal but it will help replenish you until you are able to have that alone time.

SINK INTO JOYFUL MOMENTS

When we are able to be present and sink into the joy of our children we create more joy and gratitude in our hearts! Sometimes our minds can be busy racing that we often forget to slow down and take the moments to enjoy the process of life. When in doubt find opportunities to rest and relax into the small joys around you.

GET INTO NATURE

Walk barefoot in the grass, hug a tree or surround yourself with trees and/or water. Nature always does a body good!

TAKE DEEP BREATHS

During transitions and/or when you need to create space show your kiddos the importance of taking deep breaths and even counting to ten. This gives them time to process and you time to recenter.
