Look, I Have Been There, Too: A Rant on Love & the Art of Freeing Yourself From Settling

[image error]

I’m just like you:

I spent the majority of my life completely confused about what constitutes a healthy relationship. I spent my teens and my 20’s trying REALLY hard to get people to approve of me, especially my 3 relationships. I even spent my early 30’s trying to attempt approval from the outside.

I spent the majority of my 35 years trying to PLEASE EVERYONE around me. And what did it do for me? Nothing. Well, maybe not nothing. It DID leave me exhausted, irritated, sad, frustrated, confused, feeling unworthy, and completely emotional most of the time. I was walking on eggshells around…well, myself.

I’m just like you, or maybe the past you. Either way, my point is, some people may look at me and think I’m “higher” up on the totem pole of life when they follow me on social media. I hate to sugarcoat things, so let me just be blunt for a moment:

I AM JUST LIKE YOU. PERIOD.

Even though I no longer allow myself to be in toxic relationships that leave me feeling completely worthless and crazy, it doesn’t mean I still don’t have my “moments”. I am human. I am a total badass, yes. But, I am just like you; which means YOU are a total badass as well. And don’t you even deny it because you ARE!

How Did I Go From There to Here? Note: Transparency Below

So how did I go from trying to commit suicide at 26 from being EXHAUSTED trying to love myself from seeking some fucked up people’s opinions of me, to now being 35 and completely telling anyone and everyone who judges me in a negative way to fuck off?

I’ll Tell You a Secret of Mine:

It’s because I spend every single day working on my mindset. I do NOT go one day without working on my mindset (and I make sure to give myself the self-love I need). As spiritual beings in physical bodies, part of our journey is to continuously grow and evolve. Once you wrap your head around this and understand it, you realize that it’s completely NOT WORTH IT to be such a huge perfectionist all of the time going around trying to please God knows who. SO EXHAUSTING!

I used to be in a vicious self-sabotaging cycle of ALLOWING men to treat me as if I am NOT a one-in-a-7 BILLION, super-badass, heart of a rose quartz, black lace, delicate red-rose, purple royal hippie (yes, I like all of these so I’m using them to describe me- sue me). And then I just got tired. I got tired and I said to me, “enough is enough!” I was SO tired of being in relationships to where I was constantly giving and giving and giving…and giving and giving…I don’t just mean romantic relationships. I do mean EVERY relationship: my 3 romantic relationships, my friendships, my work relationships, my family relationships, etc.

Being a people-pleaser is EXHAUSTING. Now, in the present, when I think about it, I just want to start laughing at people who have the SAME expectations of me. Sorry, but healthy boundaries ARE okay and perfectly, well, healthy. They are needed. It’s time to take your grown ass adult-self and grow the fuck up. Yep. I went there.

No, no one upset me today. Not at all, actually. I just look around and realize how many people are putting their TRUE happiness on the back burner. They are waking up day after day, letting time completely go by, and ALLOWING excuses to rule their lives. Is this you? If so, well, I’m here to say it’s NOT TOO LATE for you. The only time it’s too late for you to turn it all around and start living in TRUE abundance is when your spiritual being leaves your shell behind: yep, when you CROAK! Is this what you want?

I don’t think you do. Look, I know it’s scary making changes in your life. I GET IT. I spent the majority of my life completely terrified of changes and NOT following my soul’s truest wants in this world. Did I make a HUGE leap of change overnight? No. And you don’t have to either. Yes, I have manifested some BIG blessings into my life in a SHORT amount of time; but, it wasn’t because I took on some HUGE leaps. Nope. I just gave up my urge to constantly control my surroundings and my environment: meaning, I gave up PEOPLE-PLEASING because when you people-please it is a self-serving need…the need to be approved and loved…you DO have expectations of others giving you approval in return. And when it doesn’t happen, you keep people-pleasing hoping it WILL happen. Again, HOW EXHAUSTING!

The Heart of The Matter (Not to Quote Don Henley Too Much)

You can come up with all the ways you want to make excuses for why people-pleasing is NOT selfish, but it is. It’s living in victim mentality. It’s allowing others to completely dictate your OWN self-worth. And it’s selfish because you have EXPECTATIONS of an outcome of others approving of you when really no one needs to approve of you AT ALL. The only being that needs to approve of you is YOU. The badass, version 2.0 self, one-in-a-7 billion, eccentric, completely amazing YOU. Yes, YOU!

If a man or woman doesn’t treat you the way you long to be treated, look inward. Bet you didn’t see that one coming. What are you ALLOWING in order for them to treat you this way? If you start respecting yourself and giving yourself the love that YOU ARE WORTHY of giving and receiving to YOURSELF, you’d be surprised at how all of the toxic-takers in this world just fall away. I call them “toxic-takers” because they are takers and if you are a people-pleaser, you are most likely a giver. Everyone is selfish to a degree, each and every one of us. There are people who are takers the majority of the time, and then there are people who are givers the majority of the time. Point is, when you LOVE yourself first and foremost, the takers fall away. They fall away because the Universe is re-arranging things on your soul’s truest path FOR you and your happiness!

I May Be Rambling a Bit, But Just Hear Me Out

I was single for 9 YEARS. Yes, years. I went on about 1-3 dates (I’m totally old-fashioned when it comes to the way most people live their lives these days). I got nicknamed “Born-Again Virgin”…and while nurses proceeded to tell me what was in fact “true” with regards to the anatomy of a female over the course of 9 years…I just laughed it all off. But, inside, I was feeling like something was “wrong” with me because I am SO PICKY and I was single, truly single, for 9 years. I might as well have joined a convent I was SO single! No wonder I love to wear black…

Version 2.0 Self & Freedom

But that day I admitted to myself that I was single because I FEARED being happy was the day of TOTAL FREEDOM for me! TOTAL FREEDOM! I spent 10 months doing my Mastering Your Mindset journaling on a daily basis and I wrote things like this out during my journaling:

My boyfriend is such a wonderful man! We are best friends and we have a very open-style of communication. He is a researcher in science and he’s incredibly intelligent. He is an older man who loves to be at home, but also loves to travel the world. He is European and is sweet, caring, and romantic, loves to read, loves poetry, and is so calm and patient in his personality. He is very optimistic about life and we talk for HOURS. He loves animals, loves the mountains, and he enjoys watching movies at home and/or going to the symphony. We are truly best friends first and foremost and he’s 2000% committed and loyal to me and our relationship. I am SO BLESSED! On the weekends we…

You get the gist of what I’m saying. I spent 10 months doing my mindset journaling on a daily basis between 10 minutes up to an hour journaling out my new reality as IS in the present. I also mixed it up with my current blessings and meshed them together because the Universe truly doesn’t know what is “real” versus what is “not real”. Everything is energy; it’s all about how you INFLUENCE the energy within our Universe.

On the 10th month I met him. He is 99% of what I truly wanted in my boyfriend. Yep. For real. No fucking joke! If someone tries to tell me miracles don’t happen, they really haven’t surrendered to the Universe (and they can get the fuck outta my way because I’m trying to help as many souls who want to SHIFT their mindset, thus manifest SO MUCH into their lives)! It’s been over 7 months since he and I met and things are just GREAT between us. Our relationship is getting better and better. We are truly best friends and I am TRULY blessed.

He is actually BETTER than I could have ever imagined, truthfully. And you want to know WHY he is? It’s because I completely surrendered to the outcome and the process. I quit fighting trying to control my surroundings and the outcome and I ALLOWED him to come into my physical realm, however and whenever. And I took inspired actions to ALLOW myself to be open to it.

An Honest Example:

EHarmony had a $20 3-month special so I signed up for 3 months for $20. What did I have to lose?? $20? Okay, but if I hadn’t given it a shot…I would have never met this amazing inventor who has changed the world of chemistry and science! And he is so giving that he doesn’t even care to be famous, he just wants to help the world as much as he can. His work is very famous, but this is how much the Universe truly delivers in blessings when you SURRENDER to the process and the outcome. He is a GOOD person. He is a GIVING person. And he is my REAL best friend because he gives to me JUST AS MUCH as I give to him.

Own Your Weirdness

Does this mean I’m going to stop being my version 2.0, one-in-a-7 billion, and super-badass, heart of a rose quartz, black lace, and delicate red-rose, purple royal hippie? HELL NO. I love OWNING ME. Why not OWN you, too? Not only did I perform my Mastering Your Mindset journaling on a daily basis, but I figured out a way to identify my fears, release them for the long-run, and I also figured out a way to CALL IN 99% of my life’s dreams INTO my physical realm within LESS than one year. That’s right, I did! And now I am here to HELP YOU because it’s truly what my soul is calling me to do.

When you surrender to the Universe and OWN it, the Universe delivers some MAJOR blessings into your life. So be you. Be 7 billion percent authentic YOU because there is only ONE of you on this planet. And because you ARE worthy of being happy and you ARE worthy of manifesting ALL of your soul’s dreams. And it IS happening FOR you! Have faith. Trust the process. KEEP GOING in the direction of your manifestations by taking inspired actions. Don’t be afraid, you ARE manifesting all of your dreams! TRUST and SURRENDER. Love yourself, never compromise. Ever. Never, ever again. Your soul will thank you.

Is your version 2.0 ready TO LIVE IN FREEDOM yet!?

Tomorrow is not promised to you, so live for today. You’ve got this!

Carpe Diem!

God Always Takes the Simplest Way- Albert Einstein

[image error]

Hey Sensational Soul!

Newsflash: if you think you will receive your manifestation in ease, well, you WILL! If you think you have to work your ass off in order to receive your manifestation, well, you WILL!

There Are 2 Directions For Your Soul’s Path:

1) the path of constantly grinding and hustling all day, every day, feeling drained, stressed, and suffocated

or

2) the sweet path of least resistance by being in flow and doing things that feel GOOD to you. Allowing the process to take place however and whenever- being flexible to the outcome and relishing in all of your current blessings WHILE at the same time taking inspired actions and moving towards your manifestations!

Either path is going to take you to your manifestation into your physical realm. The Universe DOES want you to have your manifestation, it’s merely responding to what you focus on and how you focus on it. You ARE manifesting what you want into your physical realm, it’s a matter of what path you are on between the 2 paths from above. Which path do you CHOOSE?

You Choose Your Path

You have chosen your path. Now it’s time to plant the seeds to see your manifestation come to fruition. Make sure you water your seeds daily. In order to do this don’t overly water them out of desperation in order to see them blossom.

You wouldn’t do this to a plant, would you?

When you water your beloved plant in wait for your flowers to bloom, you relax and trust the process of its gestation. You know the flowers are going to bloom because it’s part of Mother Nature. The Universe knowingly brings the flowers into fruition. So you water your seeds little by little, caring for them, sending them loving vibes, and trust the process knowing your flowers ARE in the process of blooming. So do the same for your manifestations! Plant your seeds by doing your Mastering Your Mindset work and taking inspired actions- daily!

Your Seeds Need Time to Gestate

Keep taking inspired actions each day, SHOW the Universe what you are manifesting. The Universe IS working FOR you, TRUST. Relax, go in the direction of what feels like a HELL YES to you. If it doesn’t feel good to you, then it’s not for you. That’s OKAY, this means something SO MUCH BETTER is FOR you!

Plant a few seeds, water and care for them each day, and relax trusting in the process as you move forward more and more. And when your flowers (your manifestations) bloom, move down your soul’s path and grow yourself EVEN MORE (grow MORE flowers). You can even plant more seeds on your path while the others are gestating. You get TO CHOOSE how fast or how slowly you want to go with planting and caring for your manifestation seeds that ARE blooming!

It’s Never Too Late to Change Directions

Don’t worry! You CAN choose at ANY moment in time to turn down a different direction. If you realize you are on a path FULL of resistance and you want to now go down the path of least resistance, well, you CAN! You can CHOOSE at ANY moment in time to turn down a different direction on your path if you try something out and you realize over time it no longer feels like a HELL YES for you. It’s perfectly OKAY to change directions! You can CHOOSE at ANY moment in time to turn down a different direction if you want to do so. There is no such thing as a “shoulda” when it comes to life.

The souls on the outside who you perceive to judge you do not understand the magical ingredients to manifesting all of your life’s goals into your physical realm.

Do they pay your bills?

Do they buy your food?

Do they nourish your soul’s calling?

What does it matter what they think? They are only living in FEAR, but you are NOT living in fear.

[image error]

This Is Who You Are

You are a strong, loving, seizing, and fun soul who understands what life is TRULY about: living by your soul’s purpose. And because you are this, and DECIDE to FOCUS on such things as these, you are given blessings and are living in abundance in ALL ways within the Universe.

You understand the process of manifesting can be taken one of the two ways mentioned at the beginning of this blog. You understand that you ARE manifesting your wants and life’s goals. You ARE learning and growing as the beautiful soul that you ARE. You ARE leveling up and you ARE realizing more and more each day that you get a choice. You get to choose.

You understand now that freedom comes with following your soul’s calling and living your life in the flow of feeling GOOD. You understand that by relaxing and going forth each day in taking inspired actions, moving towards your manifestations, is SHOWING the Universe what you truly want into your physical realm.

You Get It

You get it. You understand it. You realize these 2 paths are CHOICES in life. You realize and understand that your own happiness, your own soul’s calling, is what TRULY matters in your life. You ARE worthy and deserving to be happy and you are understanding this. You ARE making such wonderful progress and it’s perfectly okay for the gestation period to last however long it needs to gestate for your manifestations because everything happens in perfectly Divine timing. TRUST the process, you ARE getting your manifestation.

It’s a choice:

1) I choose to now fully allow my manifestation to come into my physical realm

2) I choose to now be on the path of least resistance by following my soul’s calling each day in taking inspired actions to SHOW the Universe what I truly want into my life

3) I choose to now ALLOW myself to live by my soul’s purpose because I AM worthy to do so.

Relax, go have fun, do your Mastering Your Mindset journaling every single day. Thank the Universe through your mindset journaling just how blessed you ARE right here, right now, in life. Thank the Universe for helping you behind the scenes in rearranging everything on your path because you TRUST that the Universe is giving you either exactly what you want; or, something SO MUCH BETTER is on its way into your physical realm!

Allow your flowers to blossom. Mother Nature never forces, so why should you?

Carpe Diem!

Are YOU Making Excuses? Yeah, I’m Talking To YOU!

[image error]

Hi Sensational Souls!

I wasn’t going to write until tomorrow, but I felt called to produce this NOW. I feel someone is needing to read this:

Are you making excuses about your life? Do you want to change jobs? Write a book? Take that trip? Get a divorce? Get married? Have a baby? Own your own business? Lose weight? Pay off your debt? I could go on…

Take a look around you and review your peer situation. Are you spending the majority of your time with loving, encouraging, and supportive family and friends? What about your spouse? What about your coworkers on your lunch break? Are you seriously spending your energy around people who lift you up? Or, are you draining your own self-love and energy around people who are negative and make you feel small in this world?

You are NOT small! Stop playing small! We are NOT guaranteed tomorrow, we only have today. So, if you read this and you think about all of your friends, family members, your spouse, your coworkers, and they leave you feeling uninspired, holy SHIFT it’s time to make some EMPOWERING changes in your life! Make sure you surround yourself with encouraging people, not those who think small and play on your fears. This can enable your excuses to continue. It’s SO IMPORTANT to understand this.

And guess what? It starts with YOU. Only you have the keys to unchain yourself from your negative Nellys. Only you have the power to start taking positive and self-loving steps into a new and positive journey that you SO DESERVE to be on. Whether you are in your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, etc., you are ALLOWED to be happy in your life!

Start reading empowering books, join empowering Facebook groups, find a mentor, join hobby groups (both online and offline), there are SO MANY resources out in the world to HELP you on your soul’s truest journey.

There is no need to make any more excuses, the only thing holding you back is YOU

It’s not your money, it’s not your time, it’s not your job, it’s YOU (in other words, your fears, your worries, your anxiety, your stress, etc). YOU are holding yourself back. Why are you playing small? We are NOT promised tomorrow, so start taking your power back right NOW.

You CAN do this. I totally believe in you! Start with baby steps, and keep going with these steps every single day towards your life’s goals. Or, if you feel more comfortable in doing so, take bigger leaps. The CHOICE is up to you and the Universe IS working behind the scenes to help rearrange things on your path in order to propel you towards your desired end-results. Forget about all the details of the “how” and “when”, just move towards your life’s goals because the journey feels GOOD to you. The Universe is taking care of the “how” and “when”, leave all the specific timeline details up to the Universe. Just go forth trusting the process, surrendering to the Universe, and taking inspired actions on your journey because it feels GOOD to you. THIS is true living. And you so deserve it!

This is how you know it’s your soul’s calling. This is how you know this is your soul’s purpose: it feels GOOD to you and you feel at one and at peace with the world and the Universe. It moves you and motivates you to get up every day and keep going. It moves you and motivates you to make a positive impact in the world. And you ARE a gift to this world, each and every one of us is a huge gift to the world. We ALL have a purpose and part of our purpose is being happy while on our journey. In addition, part of our purpose is being around positive support systems with other positive souls. Get rid of the negative from any and every direction. Life is TOO short to settle. Life is TOO short to continue down a negative mindset path. Life is TOO short to live in feelings of emptiness and in feelings of being stuck.

What are you waiting for? The time is NOW. We are not promised tomorrow, we only have today. You CAN do this!

PS- Speaking of excuses, Manifesting Your Soul’s New Reality: Gaining an EMPOWERING EDGE in The Law of Attraction is a powerful soul-transformational program over the course of 10 AWAKENING days to help you unblock your limiting mindset beliefs that keep you feeling STUCK in EXCUSES!

The Basal Ganglia, Prefrontal Cortex, & Using Both in the Law of Attraction

[image error]

Hey There, Sensational Souls!

I’m here to help kick your spiritual being INTO GEAR in order to master your mindset, thus master WHATEVER it is you are manifesting into your soul’s new reality! Today we are going to discuss the power of setting intentions through the magic of the brain’s “basal ganglia” and “prefrontal cortex”.

But before we get into that, I want to ask you something: have you ever stopped to take a pause for the cause and evaluated your manifesting situation from a DIFFERENT angle? What I mean is have you thought about the possibility that you are truly MEANT to be in THIS place, right here, right NOW, because this IS part of your journey in manifesting into your physical realm?

How I Manifested 99% of What I Was Wanting Into My Physical Realm Within 10 MONTHS!

As some of you may already know, I love Dr. Wayne Dyer. Here is a quote from him I would like you to read:

If you think about shortages, you’re going to attract more shortage! If you think about what’s missing, you’re going to attract more of what’s missing in your life.

Dr. Dyer is basically saying: if you cling to your desire, you are only creating a lack mentality; thus, your lack mentality gives you more and more of the same: lack. So the Universe IS giving you what you are focusing on, but you may not even realize that you can SUCCESSFULLY manifest from a DIFFERENT angle.

A Different Angle

If your thought process remains in a “wishing” and/or a “once I am” or “once I have” approach, you will always REMAIN in this energy. And guess what? The Universe completely obliges to your request. So start using the power of manifesting from a DIFFERENT angle.

As human beings, our intentions within our focal point REMAIN in our mind for far longer than our patience can really withstand. So how do you speed up your manifestations INTO your physical realm? Routine. That’s right, routine.

Yep, practice makes progress, and progress brings about the manifestation. I say this over and over again and it’s really quite empowering because YOU are more in control of your outcome than you may want to execute by using your patience and learning skills. Do I blame you? No, not at all. We are human, we want INSTANT gratification. And when we don’t get it, we wonder: when it is going to get here? When will it happen? When is it coming? Why hasn’t it come yet?

You Don’t Have to Be A Scientist to Understand How the Brain Functions

Neuroscientists have been able to identify that our mental behavioral patterns stem from a part of the brain called the “basal ganglia”. This region is vital in the development of our memories, our own emotions, and even recognizing patterns in general. Neuroscientists also state that decisions we make stem from a different part of the brain called the “prefrontal cortex”.

So how can we use these two different regions in our FAVOR with regards to manifesting using the law of attraction?

I come back to the effects of routine. Let me say it again: routine. Consistency. Practice. Habitually setting our intentions followed by taking what I call are “inspired actions” in order to SHOW the Universe what it is you truly desire, which speeds up the manifestation process. But remember, the manifestation process speeds up as long as you are NOT focusing on what Dr. Dyer states in his quote about what’s “missing” within your mindset.

Through the process of habitual thinking, comes habitual mental belief patterns and this can either speed up or slow down your manifestation process. Over time your brain begins to go on autopilot when it is being trained through the process of what I like to refer as “Mastering Your Mindset”.

Just like when you learned how to drive a car, or you learn the lyrics to a song, and even learn all of the ingredients to a recipe, you are TRAINING your brain and your mindset to accept these patterns as quote “real”. By training our minds through mental patterns recognized by our basal ganglia, you are making the DECISION to deem these mental thoughts as BELIEFS, thanks to your prefrontal cortex. And through consistent practice of this mental and physical mechanism, your brain starts to go on autopilot and you no longer have to STRUGGLE to accept that what you ARE doing and how you ARE behaving needs any kind of obsessional clinging.

You just relax, it all becomes second-nature to you, and you allow your physical body to go forward with the motions in EASE. That’s right! You start to OWN IT!

Holy Shift: Science Is Truly Amazing!

Your mindset, your soul, and the Universe work TOGETHER simultaneously to manifest WHATEVER it is you are wanting to bring forth into your physical realm. And you CAN use the power of law of attraction to your favor! Match the frequency of the energy bouncing around within the Universe through billions of tiny fast-moving particles, and you truly DO manifest into your new physical reality! Train your brain, DAILY, through Mastering Your Mindset journaling. Not only is it completely empowering, but it SHIFTS your mindset beliefs from a place of limiting thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and actions, and TRANSFORMS them into now thinking, feeling, being, doing, and LIVING from a place of total abundance in ALL areas of your life- whatever areas you want! Seriously!

YOU are the master of your mindset, not the other way around. YOU are in control of what you focus on, not the other way around. And YOU hold the keys to your vehicle that is your body. Your soul is your engine, your mindset is the steering wheel, and your feelings are the gas that help you to propel yourself into complete and total Universal abundance! When you TRAIN your mindset with repetition and consistency using a powerful visualization tool such as mindset journaling, you are not only making a stronger case FOR your visualizations; but, you are also literally writing your new reality into existence because you are influencing your own energy into the Universe through the motions of your pen and the ink onto paper. Or, if you prefer to type onto a computer, you can do exactly the same thing as well with your own influence on energy. The Universe IS listening, and it IS responding. The Universe is working behind the scenes and it IS rearranging things on your path to help you manifest what your soul TRULY desires in its TRUE happiness in life.

Your Power Is In Your Choices

You CAN do this! You get a CHOICE, so CHOOSE to start living on your soul’s truest path today! Use the power of your brain and how it functions. And with consistent daily repetition you ARE Mastering Your Mindset and you ARE mastering manifesting because your brain has to work less and less over time with consistent practice. It just all becomes second-nature to you and before you know it, you’ve completely manifested EVERYTHING you have ever desired into your physical realm.

Every day is a choice: do you want to live it in total abundance? I know you do! Time to start living the rest of your life in complete blessings that you ARE going to receive, RIGHT NOW. My purpose in this world is to help YOU realize your own inner superhero and I’m here to help kick your spiritual ass INTO GEAR to help you stay on your soul’s truest path in order to SPEED UP manifesting your life’s desires. You’ve got this!

Carpe Diem!

The Hardest Arithmetic to Master Is That Which Enables Us to Count Our Blessings – Eric Hoffer

[image error]

Hey Sensational Soul!

In case you haven’t already, don’t forget to join the free Facebook community, Manifest it! Every Friday in the group I give FREE Mastering Your Mindset prompts to help you gain CLARITY around your mindset in order to conquer your life’s goals through the power of law of attraction AND taking inspired actions. Marrying the two really does help to speed up your manifestations into your physical realm!

Today we are exploring and meshing your own blessings and your own beliefs. When you examine what you are thankful for and WHY you are thankful for them, you can figure out HOW to incorporate your blessings into learning how to SHIFT your mindset beliefs. By doing so, the thought of propelling yourself even CLOSER to your manifestations doesn’t seem so abstract and hard to do. Seriously!

In today’s example I am asking you to think of someone you know who has or does impact you in a powerful way.

Is it a past teacher or family member? Or perhaps it’s a current family member and/or your spouse? Or maybe it was/is an acquaintance in your life?

It can be anyone, there isn’t a “right” or “wrong” person to choose for this.

Normally I do not give out the full Mastering Your Mindset prompts, but I want to really show you a sneak peak of what happens in the group every Friday. So here we go:

Blessings

Pick someone who impacted (or impacts) your life in a good way and write a letter to them addressing the following:

Dear…

1) What is it about them as a person that impacts you in such a positive way?

2) What did they say and/or do that impacted you so greatly? Or, what is it they say and/or do that impacts you so greatly?

3) Why are you still thankful for them to this day?

4) What do you carry with you from your memories of them (or if they are still in your life, what do you admire about them THE MOST)?

5) Now that you know what kind of characteristics and things from another that you admire and HOW it has helped you/helps you…what can you do to incorporate this into moving CLOSER to your manifestations coming into your physical realm? What about them can help you NOW in the present? What about HOW they helped you can help you NOW in the present?

[image error]

Beliefs

With respect to #5, journal out the following:

6) Since you believe this person has impacted you/impacts you in such a positive way, describe reasons WHY this is in fact, TRUE. Finish this sentence stem at least 10 times: I fully believe (insert person) has such a positive impact on me and my life because…(you are going to play the lawyer and really state your case as to why your beliefs are TRUE and REAL).

7) Now take what you wrote and change the person’s name to YOUR name. Finish this sentence stem at least 10 times: I fully believe I have such a positive impact on ME and MY LIFE because…(really write it all out each time with TRUE conviction).

8) Finish this sentence 15 times: now that I am in full conviction of who I AM, I choose to take inspired actions to bring forth my manifestations and SHOW the Universe what my soul’s truest purpose is by…

Reflections

As you perform this Mastering Your Mindset exercise, do NOT be afraid to dig real deep and get completely raw with yourself. The more honest you are with yourself, the MORE BREAKTHROUGHS and RELEASES you have…and this is very cleansing.

This opens the gateway to clarity and realizations for yourself and your life. Furthermore, it speeds up the manifestation process because you feel more in FLOW with yourself and your life.

And don’t forget: each time you have that spark of an inspirational idea, it is your SOUL nudging you along to take inspired actions!

You can do this! I totally believe in you! Keep going! I am SO excited because I recently launched my brand NEW manifesting program: Manifesting Your Soul’s New Reality: Gaining An Empowering Edge In The Law of Attraction!

Welcome To Your Freedom: A Spiritually Massive Rant

[image error]

Hey Sensational Soul!

I want to talk about the concepts of attachment and detachment. We are all ONE with the Universe, so why do we allow ourselves to be so attached to the outcome of our own manifestations? It’s time to understand just how freeing it truly is to not give a fuck about the outcome of YOUR life. I feel like just typing this brings about anxiety for probably a lot of you. I have anxiety, too, just hear me out for a few minutes:

You Put In “The Work”

You have your hopes, you journal them out every single day. You perform Mastering Your Mindset journaling with the greatest intentions towards your new reality. Your soul is calling, aching to get out and be free in this world. You perform your mindset journaling with ALL of the details you can conjure up from inside of your imagination. And then you follow it by taking inspired actions to SHOW the Universe what you truly want for your soul’s manifestations.

This is a mixture of success. You do this DAILY for many weeks on end.

But then you start to get disappointed, sad, and perhaps even cynical because your new reality is not happening already. You start to doubt yourself, your abilities, even your purpose in life. You start to doubt Source, God, the angels, and/or anything else you use to describe your faith of all the particles that make up the Universe. The Divine.

Why is by performing this mixture of manifesting success on a daily basis NOT coming to fruition by now? You are being patient, you are being consistent, you are trying your best to stay in flow and trust the process.

So what gives?

The Reputation of Attachment vs. Detachment

Well, you know how many teachings of the law of attraction state in order to manifest it you must be detached to the outcome of it? I was listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer today and he said something to the effect of when you detach FROM your desire, it somehow attracts itself TO you. How does one do this exactly? I call it the freedom of not giving a fuck about the outcome.

You have to be truly okay with the outcome, whatever it is. Yes, you REALLY want your desire; but, if you cling to it so much it can become an unhealthy attachment. The Universe is ALWAYS wanting you to have either exactly what you want; or, something even BETTER is coming to you, FOR you and your soul’s highest happiness. You cannot be happy by seeking from the outside, being happy only comes from within yourself.

Being happy is a choice. And with choice comes empowerment. And with empowerment comes the freedom of setting intentions to call things in TO you. This powerful phenomenon that is CHOICE is what “free will” is all about- if that isn’t freedom I don’t know WHAT is. You have the free will to CHOOSE your soul’s new reality any way you CHOOSE it to be. BUT, choice and freedom cannot speed up your manifestations if you are obsessively clinging TO the outcome of your manifestations. Right?

Attachment Equals Doubt & Fear

Attaching yourself to your desire is actually living in fear that it WON’T happen for you. Furthermore, attaching yourself to your desire is actually living in doubt because you are SO FREAKING ATTACHED to it that you are doubtful it will voluntarily come flowing to you like magnets of energy attracting to each other. Living in fear and in doubt does NOT equal happiness. It will never happen for you this way. This entire “once I have it then I’ll be happy” mindset is complete and utter bullshit. My solution? Just don’t give a flying fuck about the outcome of your desires. I know, I know, it is so much easier said than done. I am human and I completely understand how you are feeling.

I teach so many souls all over the world to learn HOW to empower themselves. I want to point out, and maybe you already know this, but by attaching yourself to your desires you are actually doing the opposite because you are giving away your power TO the outcome of your desire. Therefore, you are essentially giving away your own power to CREATE your own reality. Living with attachments, meaning living in fears and in doubts, is not freeing at all. This is not freedom. Being free IS happiness. Living in freedom is happiness.

And let’s change the word “desire” because when one desires something, it’s inherently stating that one is without. So you are internally acknowledging to yourself that you are WITHOUT when you focus on your desires. Yes, I call them desires, and they ARE desires. But, my point is what you give meaning to expands- and through repetition your meanings become your beliefs. Ahhh…this is all so crazy sounding, right? So let’s simplify it…by not giving a fuck AT ALL about the outcome. Just throw it out of your focus. Stop obsessing over all of it.

Surrendering Does NOT Mean Quitting, It Means Detachment

This does NOT mean you are giving up altogether. This does NOT mean you are quitting Mastering Your Mindset through your daily mindset journaling. This does NOT mean you are quitting taking inspired actions. It just means you are SURRENDERING to the outcome of how and when it comes into your physical realm. You are DETACHING yourself from the NEED of the external. You are detaching yourself and you are, instead, putting forth your faith as your acceptance. Detachment is actually a very normal feeling when you understand just how much you ARE one with the Universe. It’s a choice you make: I AM one with the Universe. Therefore, I ALREADY have everything I need inside of me. My manifestation is ALREADY in existence, the Universe is responding in a favorable way. I am CHOOSING to go forth by taking inspired actions, daily, because I am calm, I am centered, and I trust and know it is done.

You are surrendering to the Universe, the Divine timing, and instead you are thinking, feeling, and DOING from your soul’s place of happiness. You are CHOOSING to think and focus on thoughts that bring you happiness FROM within. You are CHOOSING to feel and focus on thoughts and feelings that bring you happiness FROM within. You are CHOOSING to act, to be, and to DO through the focus of moving towards your life goals BECAUSE it is your soul’s purpose. This is detachment.

The Art of Freeing Yourself…Going Further

How freeing is this? How freeing is it to know that by existing FROM your soul’s purpose, you are not only freer, but you are happier, and AT THE SAME TIME you could care less of the outcome because what you are thinking, feeling, doing, and being RIGHT NOW is so fun! This is being and existing WITH the Universe. This is how your mindset, your soul, and the Universe work together SIMULTANEOUSLY to produce magical experiences of manifesting into your physical realm.

Every day is a choice. You get to choose however you want to think, whatever you want to set your intentions around, however you want to feel, and however you want to BE and DO in life. Why not live in freedom? Why not live in happiness? Why not stop obsessing over destination happiness- meaning the “when I have it, then I’ll be happy” mentality? Live in the NOW, perform your mindset journaling every day, yes, most definitely! Take those 5 minutes or even 55 minutes and write everything out exactly how your new reality IS. And then? Then, let it all go. Be thankful for ALL of your blessings you have right at this very moment. Free yourself from the burden of attaching yourself to the outcome.

Remember: the Universe gives you either exactly what you want; OR, something MUCH BETTER is coming FOR you. And it IS coming FOR YOU. It’s a done deal. It’s done, make this choice that it’s done. And just go on about your day living in flow, being free in not giving a fuck about the outcome. Relax, have fun, focus on thoughts, feelings, and actions that feel GOOD to your soul. Yes, take inspired actions DAILY, nothing magical happens inside of your comfort zone. You are ALLOWED to grow and evolve as a being. You ARE allowed to have whatever it is you truly want into your physical realm. It’s done. It’s manifesting right at this very moment. Trust the process, don’t obsess over the “how” or the “when”. Fuck the outcome. The Universe ALWAYS has your back. Always. To be attached to anything or anyone is literally admitting to yourself that you are not in control of your own being, your own happiness, your own freedom.

So FREE yourself. You CAN do this. I am one of the most stubborn souls I know and if I can do it, I KNOW you can, too. Besides, DETACHING yourself from trying to control your surroundings and the outcome is so much more fun! And when you have fun you are existing in flow. And being in flow is communicating to the Universe: I want more of things and events that feel like flow. Before you even realize it, your manifestations ARE in the physical realm. And it’s because you literally did not give a fuck about the “how” and the “when” of the outcome. You made the choice that it’s done and you didn’t dwell on it. You detached from it. It’s TRULY amazing how all of this works!

You Keep Saying “Mastering Your Mindset”…

I realize I have mentioned Mastering Your Mindset journaling a few times now, this is something I performed every single day and over the course of 10 months I literally manifested 99% of my desires. It’s TRULY amazing how everything stems from your mindset and your mindset beliefs. Performing mindset journaling is an empowering and transformational tool in order to SHIFT your mindset, thus your reality. In addition, it’s a wonderfully creative tool in order to speed up your manifestations because performing Mastering Your Mindset journaling actually opens up your abilities to expand your creativity within your mind, meaning this is POWERFUL form of visualization.

You can sign up for my FREE take-charge 3-Day program, learn more about my empowering Don’t Feel Stuck! journal workbook available on Amazon, as well as many other transformational programs that truly help you to SPEED UP your manifestations!

Thanks so much for reading (if your eyes haven’t gone cross-eyed by now). Go out there and make it a great one! Remember, YOU hold the keys to your own future. Have a GREAT day!

Carpe Diem!

Failure Is Success In Progress- Albert Einstein

Failure Is Success In Progress- Albert Einstein

Hey Sensational Soul,

Today has been a HARD day for me. I am currently sitting on the couch with a glass of pink moscato and trying to remind myself that tomorrow is a NEW day! I had a quick, but great vacation celebrating my sweet chemist’s birthday and going to the Eagles concert (as a birthday surprise for him). This past week has been so wonderful.

Now The Test

Today has been very testing for me. I have been working non-stop: I updated my website again, added new content, writing for my new book and for my VIP Facebook groups (and sometimes feeling writer’s block), not to mention writing for my new podcasts and blogs, working with the physicists, and I haven’t been able to sleep these past few days because of everything that is going on in my mind. I feel like a mixture of internal wheels constantly turning and physically I am a zombie. I feel like there is NOT ENOUGH TIME in the day to get everything that I want to get done!

Failure Is Success In Progress

I really love Einstein, and this quote speaks to me these past few days, “failure is success in progress.” Transparency alert: I am so worried about “failing” after producing SO MUCH content all over world-wide web that I am exhausting myself from worry. What if EVERYTHING I’m doing doesn’t pan out for me in my business? What if ALL of the money I am investing in order to help people through various media platforms falls flat? What if no one wants to pay me for my online programs? What if souls don’t like their results from my programs???????? This is the BIG one!

Taking The Leaps By Making Choices

I have taken some HUGE faith-based leaps these past few weeks: I started my own podcast AND YouTube channel, I launched my first online program with audio and digital formats, I launched my first free 3-Day Mastering Your Mindset online program (totally different from what I was doing before), and I have even appeared on videos in my Facebook community, Manifest It!, a couple of times. I am seriously leveling UP.

And you know why? It’s because deep down I have made a CHOICE. I have DECIDED. I am DONE with living from fear, I am DONE playing small, and I am DONE remaining in my comfort zone. I know there are only 24 hours in each day, but you know what? I am taking inspired actions each and every single day and I am moving towards my soul’s desire to help as many souls as I possibly can via the worldwide web. And the more souls I can help, the more I can give back through charity donations to various animal organizations and to science medical research.

Focusing On The Results: Giving Back

I AM keeping my end-goal in mind. I AM focusing on my end-results. I have this vision of spending my time coaching my soul-based, soulmate clients in my VIP Facebook groups each and every single day. I have this amazing image in my mind of donating a few thousand of dollars MONTHLY to various charities and to humanitarian research. I want to HELP GIVE BACK.

While I have spent the last few days worried about coming across as “silly” or not “perfect”, I am so drained that at this moment I don’t even care how I come across in this blog post: this IS me. Tired, zombie-like, still in flow, still propelling, still driving, still visualizing, still GOING, me. Every day. Every. Single. Day.

Keep Going! The Universe IS Super Abundant

Whatever it is you are manifesting- and believe me, you ARE manifesting it- KEEP GOING DAILY. The Universe is rearranging things on your path to help you along the way. And if it doesn’t feel like a HELL YES, then you shouldn’t be doing it. Follow your soul’s calling. I am following my soul and it feels so freaking good even though it’s super scary at times.

So what if I “fail” at something I am doing right now. As Einstein puts it, “failure is success in progress.” Therefore, I am NOT failing at all. I can be redirected, but I can NEVER fail. My mindset is continuously leveling up, and it’s super important to remind yourself that we ARE manifesting either exactly what we desire; OR, something MUCH BETTER is coming into our physical realm right at this moment. It’s on the way. It’s literally FOR us. The Universe is super abundant.

Strip It All Away & It Comes To This

If I impact 10 souls instead of 10,000 souls, well, at least I can take what is monetarily given to me and I can give back to humanity and to the Universe in the best way I can. And this, feels AMAZING. Keep going! Do your mindset journaling and take inspired actions each day! Big steps, small steps, it doesn’t matter. Just KEEP GOING, you’ve totally got this! I believe in you!

Carpe Diem!

A Friendly Spiritual Reminder: Rest Is Good For The Soul

Hey Sensational Soul!

Vacation is winding down for me and I want to take a quick few moments to pop into your inbox and remind you of this- in case you need some spiritual ass-kicking since I have been gone relishing in the Eagles concert and celebrating my soulmate’s birthday:

If You Are Tired, Get Some Rest!

There is NO REASON to constantly push yourself into doing things if you are tired at the moment. YES, it’s important to be consistent in taking inspired actions, DAILY; however, if you are tired one day, REST. Your soul needs to be well-rested in order to EFFECTIVELY communicate with your mindset and the Universe simultaneously. In addition, merely, you ARE allowed to take a break.

Take A Break, But Don’t Give Up Altogether

Each and every day you are moving closer and closer. Each and every day you ARE manifesting towards your soul’s new reality AS LONG AS what you are thinking, feeling, and doing are positive thoughts, feelings, and actions. So what if you have a hard day or a “bad” day. Who cares! We are all human, just rest and take care of yourself. Get back up tomorrow and KEEP GOING.

You Are Your Own Superhuman

Do you think I am just 100% on the ball 100% of the time? Hell no! I am human, and part of being a masterful manifestor as a human being is the ability to be able to give yourself the rest your soul and mindset need in order to speed up your manifestations working WITH the Universe. You have seen the quote before, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” Well, this is extremely accurate. How do you expect to attract more of the same when you are so freaking tired on some days?

In Conclusion

Take a break, take a rest, and TRUST that you are doing SO MUCH MORE than you realize in manifesting your soul’s NEW reality! And believe me, you ARE manifesting what you desire. Trust the process, trust your soul’s intuition, trust the Universe- and after you have rested, go seize the day by taking more inspired actions! Be consistent! You CAN do this- and it’s actually a LOT EASIER than you are thinking it is to manifest so many of your desires into your life- and quickly! Just don’t give a f*ck and KEEP GOING!

So relax, have fun, do not worry so much, just take it easy, and FOCUS on thoughts that feel empowering, FOCUS on feelings that feel GOOD, and FOCUS on following your soul’s nudges by taking those inspirations and turning them into inspired actions! The Universe is responding to you, you’ve totally got this!

Carpe Diem!
