Imagine a New Reality

If you have decided to change your lot in life and are ready to put in the work for your aspirations and goals, then it’s time to decide what those are. Your new ‘wants’ in life might be completely different than you may have had, say, 5 years ago... or exactly the same. Time coupled with any life obstacle can change around priorities.

Every few years, I do a little journal exercise where I write a pretend entry that is set 5 years or so in the future. This helps me think about where I want to be and what I hope to be doing by that time. Doing this moves my hopeful dreams into an obtainable reality and I gain confidence in myself to make it come true. When you do this, it is most important you write in the present tense, as if you are now living this life you are describing. This is a form of manifesting with intention and not just creating a list of wishes to collect dust. Always longing for things as though they feel unobtainable, makes it so. You have to believe it to be your and in time it will be.

Vision boards are also helpful in getting a clearer view of what you really want out of life. Making your goals physically visible everyday will help keep you focused on the right direction. This all applies to any form of manifesting, Law of Attraction, focused intention practices, etc. To me they are somewhat interchangeable when describing the powerful habit they form within you.

Mindful Minute:

  • How happy are you with your life now?
  • If nothing changes, what do you think life will look like 5 years from now?
  • What would your ideal life look like in 5 years?
  • What needs to change to make this reality?
  • What are some first steps you can take to ignite this change?

Clutter & Chaos

I believe the energy in your home is affected not just by the people who live there, but also through the possessions kept and how. As in Feng Shui , energy can become blocked or drained from your home and you by the things you surround yourself with. I can become immediately overwhelmed the second I wake, just seeing a dish pile in the sink or a laundry mountain on the couch. Responsibilities I left myself the day before, knowing I would regret it and probably feel defeated before the day would begin. If I’m always cleaning, but my house is never clean, I can conclude that we have too much stuff.  We all know how severe hoarding affects people who struggle with an obsessive attachment to possessions. Yet, even on a smaller scale, too much of anything can become difficult to maintain and keep orderly. Growing up in an “over-crowded” environment made me predisposed to being extremely uncomfortable and burdened by clutter. I try my best to stay on track with routine chore...

Seasonal Cleaning: Plan, Purge, Prepare

When Autumn rolls around I tend to get nostalgic for all the cozy aesthetics and comfort of the season, eager to jump straight into my favorite lounge set and start writing out my ' Fall Food Favorites' shopping list!  But then, I catch a glimpse of the reality around me... unsigned school papers and musty laundry mountains, unwashed cookware and an over-worked sponge... this IRS notice of from my boutique flop two years ago. I can easily become lost and overwhelmed by the chaos summer fun and new school excitement left behind. Having three young children, the pressure is on. I am fully aware I will be taking on this battle alone. It's the perfect time to get my household back in order and  prepare our space to be enjoyed as we spend more chilly days inside, with each other. I'm getting into the season with a deep clean of our home and work spaces, a well as our energetic environment. 1. PLAN For me, it must ALL start with planning! I first start out  by printing...

Autumn Equinox

As cooler winds blow in and the daylight lessens, we can see the end of summer upon us. It is time to say goodbye to the solar energy that radiates over the Earth during the light half of the year. The same should be done for the energy in your home and personal spaces. The foggy and crisp part of the year brings a calmness still enough to make you confront the skeletons in your closet. Clean & Declutter Smoke cleansing and smudging are my top choice for natural cleaning. I also like to use a sage or rosemary essential oil with a simple vinegar/water solution to cleanse my surfaces and things around my home, work, and spiritual spaces. Ritual Detox Bath A deep physical cleanse of the body through a rich bath of salts and bentonite clay can pull out toxins and stagnant energy. In preparation of this introspective season exfoliate with intent to remove the dirty parts of yourself you no longer wish to carry. Purge Negative Influence If ...
