“Let Them”

blog

Mel Robbins has talked a lot about this topic: “Let them.” She even wrote a book about it that is available for preorder (which I need to order that at some point). This phrase has become so powerful, because it allows you to take your energy and time back, and it allows you to let go of control.

In reality, we can’t change anyone else; I mean, look how hard it is to make changes in your own life! Yet, even though we know we can’t make anyone else change, we may still spend time and energy being bothered by things they do that we don’t understand. We waste our own time thinking about how others should change or even thinking about how they perceive us, when we cannot control any of that at all!

No matter how mindful or nice I try to be, someone could still think I am annoying or rude. I have no control over how someone else views me, and in reality, it really isn’t my business. How we feel about ourselves is what really matters- and a lot of us carry a lot of shame and guilt that we end up projecting onto our outer world. That is why the more we heal our own wounds, the more we heal the world. If we have less assumptions and projections and we have more discussions and connections, then we recognize how similar we all are and can give each other (and ourselves) grace.

Let people think what they want about you- as long as you know and love yourself, that is what matters. Let people act the way they do; as an adult you can set boundaries and if they break those boundaries, you can decide to let go of that relationship. In other words, then it’s time for “let me.” You are in control of your own decisions and who you decide to spend your time with. When someone is not respectful of your boundaries, listen to them.

We can complain all we want about people crossing our boundaries, but if we never stand up for ourselves, that is also a choice. You get to decide how long you put up with disrespect. We also complain about other people’s choices or actions, but that is literally taking time and energy away from your own life goals. You get to decide if you want to keep thinking about and judging someone’s actions over focusing on your own dreams and ambitions.

“Let them” is powerful, and so is “let me.” This year, I am leaning more into this theory. As I approach my 30th birthday (well, it’s not until July LOL), I am reminded to take a look at how I spend my own time and start to be more intentional with it. I live a very beautiful life and I never want to take it for granted. I am grateful for the countless blessings that surround me, and I am so happy to be present to all of this.

Prompt

blog

Come up with a crazy business idea.

Honestly I told my husband last night how in the future I’d love to be an anti-insurance broker where I explain to people why they don’t need insurance and how to set themselves up and save accordingly and find discount plans instead that don’t have restrictions like insurance plans do. I don’t even know if that is really a business because it wouldn’t make money LOL, but that’s why I said I’d want to do that later on like maybe if/when I am a stay at home mom or retired!

January 11 (111)

blog

I woke up so excited to the sun shining after how dull and gloomy it was yesterday. I also am so excited that today is one of my favorite angel numbers: 1/11!

111 symbolizes new beginnings, but also being in touch with your intuition. I see 111 a lot, and I even saw in on a license plate less than an hour before my husband was proposing to me! I understand that scientifically seeing these repetitive numbers is just because of neuroplasticity (like when you’re thinking about buying a certain car & then you see it everywhere on the road), but I still feel magic and love when I see angel numbers.

I want to take this time for a prayer for new beginnings in humanity:

I pray that empathy and curiosity become more prevalent than judgement and resentment. I pray that kindness and love is the most common practice in this world, removing all of the negativity and evilness. I pray that everyone who is in need is given access to what they need to not only survive, but thrive. I pray that we truly connect with each other and our world, rather than having superficial connections based on views and followers. I pray that humans recognize that there is strength in numbers, and together we can make change in this world.

I always say that we are more alike than we are different. We all have traumas, we all have stories, we all have emotions, and we all have the ability to learn and adapt. As we learn more about our experiences and how they impacted us, the more we can heal and learn to truly love ourselves. When we are feeling full of love and gratitude, we can pour that same energy into others and into this world.

Sending extra love to everyone this lovely Saturday, and wishing everyone a happy 111!

Friday Feels

blog

I had such a vivid, beautiful dream last night that my husband and I had a baby girl. I saw her- I can still see her. She had his eyes, and she had dark curly hair. She smiled at me, and I couldn’t help, but smile back. I felt this beaming love from within me, and tears streamed down my face as I looked at her with awe, and even more when I saw my husband smiling cheek to cheek watching us.

I felt pure bliss in that dream, and I pray one day that I live that feeling in this lifetime. Although we aren’t currently trying to have children, we definitely do want to have children one day. I always said I wanted to be a boy mom, but I’d actually be more than happy to raise a baby girl. It was such a strange, yet incredible dream- one I don’t think I’ll ever forget.

Wednesday Prayers

blog

I pray to feel 100% healthy for this upcoming weekend when we go to visit my family, and I pray everyone else also feels healthy.

I pray that I can remain as stress-free as possible during the remainder of this work week and I just focus on what I can do and do it well.

I pray that my cats stay in good health and feel their very best.

I pray that anyone who needs a little extra love or guidance from the universe gets a very obvious sign that brings them a sense of comfort.

I pray that my angels and guides protect my husband and I during our travels, keeping us safe and out of harms way.

I pray that today is a good day.

Future or Past

blog

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

I definitely spend more time thinking about the future, and I think it just comes from my control issues/anxiety. I find myself worrying about worst case scenarios sometimes, and I just have to redirect myself to the present and be grateful for the life I have today. I also have to trust that I can handle whatever challenges life brings.
