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?

Nature vs Nurture: The Mother's Shadow Series

Parenting is the greatest challenge one can experience in their lifetime, and the degree of difficulty varies for everyone. No two people are alike, but despite this, we pair up and create more unique strangers. We then have to set our priorities aside, and help these little beings learn all about the world and themselves, while most likely not knowing much about life ourselves. If all goes well, an unconditionally loving relationship will have formed between two random personalities. In that instant a family is formed and society places standards and obligations on parents to be deemed eligible guardians to their own offspring. The vagueness of family medical history available to me, has prevented any attempts to determine if my afflictions stem from genetics or upbringing. This question of nature versus nurture that so many of us try to decipher is, in my opinion, a senseless endeavor. If one does not find the answer they are wanting to receive, they will then proceed to ...

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...
