Monday Morning Thoughts

blog

We were never meant to take on the weight of the world, we’re meant to focus on making our own world better and allowing that to pour into the rest of the universe.

It can be hard to watch loved ones struggle and be stressed, but that is when they need love and support more than ever.

“Give, but don’t let it empty you.”

Confirmation bias is real- use it to your advantage.

Boredom means you aren’t in constant chaos; you feeling bored? Congratulations, you’ve found peace.

You don’t have to fix anyone else’s problems, just like they don’t have to solve yours.

Full Moon Release 8/9

blog

I am releasing perfectionism; I no longer hold myself to impossible standards, I just prioritize authenticity.

I am releasing the tension and stress that is stored in my physical body.

I am releasing the negative thoughts and feelings that are keeping me from following my dreams.

I am releasing all attachments that are not genuine or pure; I only have space for people who lift me up and love me in the same way I do for them.

I am releasing any left over resentment and anger that has been sitting in my body and mind.

I am releasing the negative programming and thoughts that I absorbed from others who were projecting their own fears and insecurity onto me.

I am releasing the feeling of needing to prioritize other people’s comfort over my own; I am allowed and encouraged to speak up for myself when I feel uncomfortable.

I release all that no longer serves me, or my higher purpose, and I do so gently and with love.

Happy Full Moon!

Monday Mood

blog

This beautiful Monday I am driving out of state with my friend to meet our other friend and see a concert! It’s so different being up early when you know you’re doing something exciting rather than going to work LOL! I’m just excited for this mini girls trip and this concert, and I’m just praying for safe travels there and back for all of us! I hope everyone has a safe and happy Monday!

Tuesday Thoughts

blog

• Everyone will judge you, even the people you love- do it anyways.

• If you’re ever staying quiet or small to “keep the peace”- ask who’s peace is it keeping?

• The worst that can happen is you die, and we all die- may as well live a life you enjoy!

• In any moment, you’re always younger than you’ll ever be again- what are you not doing bc you’re telling yourself you’re “too old?” Do it anyways.

Sunday

blog

My husband and I are on our way home after a fun day playing on a huge water obstacle course! Yesterday my husband suggested that we do something fun, and after looking online for a while, we decided on this! It was a much fun, but boy was it hella exercise LOL! I know we are gonna feel it tomorrow.

I’m so glad we went- not only because it was a fun date day, but also because I need to be prioritizing joy in this season of my life. I noticed yesterday after we booked it, and even this morning that I was having anxiety about it and feeling uneasy. I knew it was mainly because it’s not anything I’ve ever done before, but I still feel like part of me always tried to self-sabotage whenever I am doing something for myself.

The good news is that I noticed it early on today, and my husband was also very aware and making sure to check in on me and reassure me. I always feel bad that I tend to make our good days start out poorly just with my anxiety and control issues. I always feel like everything has to go perfectly, but my rigidness is worse than things just going awry on their own. I know this, and I know I need to give my perfectionist part of me love rather than shame.

Dear little perfectionist with me, you are allowed to relax. I know you had to make sure that all things were thought through, and I know that control makes you feel safe; the truth is that nothing is ever perfect, and you have not only survived all of those imperfect moments in your life- you thrived. No matter how much you overthink and over plan, all will happen exactly as it should, and you’ll always be able to handle it. You don’t have to be so uptight and rigid, in fact, you deserve rest and joy more than you know- I pray you open up to receive it.

Friday AM

blog

I’ve been feeling a shift coming, some wild blessings and miracles on the way. Like I’m excited, for something that I don’t know I’m excited for- if that makes sense. My birthday is around the corner, and I will say I am very excited to celebrate my 30th with my close friends, but it feels like it’s something else. Either way, I’m trusting in my angels and the universe that I can trust and just be ready to receive.

Wednesday Afternoon Blurb

blog

Feeling kinda meh this evening- like I don’t have any hobbies that I truly enjoy or get lost in. I know I have some, but I guess I’ve just been feeling a lack of motivation. I know it’s just a phase and it’ll pass soon, so I’m not that bothered by it, but obviously enough to write this little blurb.

Thursday AM Thoughts

blog

I saw this post that said something along the lines of “start thinking of people as energy, you’ll spend your time wiser.” There’s just no point in spending time with energy vampires, all they do is suck the light out of you.

High school never ends until you decide it does. No matter where you work or where you further your education, you’ll have people around you who still want to spread lies and drama as a form of their own entertainment. It is up to you if you’re going to feed into that energy.

Gratitude is a magical thing. I find that I am so much more present and happy when I practice daily gratitude.

Success and being “rich” looks different to everyone- get specific with yourself about your dream life. What does it look like?

Love is always the answer, and I believe that no amount of material items could replace the feeling of genuine love and connection.

Friday / New Moon Continues

blog

Feeling fabulous this Friday because it’s about to be the weekend! Also feeling great because day by day I am leaning into faith and just trusting that all is exactly how it should be. I can only control my mindset and my responses to the world, so that is all I can really focus on controlling. I can’t control how other people act or treat others, but I can control how much energy and attention I give to others.

I am only putting time and energy in where it is being reciprocated, and I only want to focus on what is serving me, rather than wasting time on negative sh*t. How someone acts is none of my responsibility, but if someone treats me with disrespect, it’s my right to stand up for myself. I am in an era of being as authentic as possible, and that means I’m not longer prioritizing other people’s comfort over my own.
