PS- Ready to start Manifesting Your Soul’s New Reality!?

You Choose: Fossil Or Diamond

[image error]

You get that spark of inspiration.

You wait a couple of seconds and the doubt starts to set in.

You then think about all the reason why it WON’T work.

You are now feeling emotions of dread, slight fear, lack of confidence, feeling like you are not good enough.

This is your moment to CHOOSE. You GET a choice: do you want to FOCUS on these thoughts and feelings? Or, do you want to feel GOOD about your mental inspirational download? And EACH time do you want to feel GOOD about your mental inspirational download each time it comes?

How do you WANT to feel? What does your soul TRULY want? What is aching to get out within you?

The Universe is responding to what you FOCUS on. As humans we always have ups and downs- and this is perfectly okay! Let yourself think, acknowledge it; but, you get to CHOOSE what you want to focus on. Let your limiting thoughts pass through you. Let your thoughts of lack move on, don’t cling to them. You get a choice.

You get to choose. You DO get to choose. State the opposite of whatever limiting thoughts you are feeling. State the opposite as many times as needed- you CAN train your mindset. You CAN train yourself to start thinking and feeling FROM your soul’s truest feelings and emotions.

HOW DO YOU & YOUR SOUL TRULY WANT TO FEEL!? 

Your soul communicates to the Universe. Your mindset, your soul, and the Universe work with each other SIMULTANEOUSLY. And you ARE in control of YOUR mindset, you ARE in control of YOUR soul, and the Universe responds TO you. You want MORE blessings to come into your life? Start FEELING into your blessings you have NOW. You want more success to come into your life? Start doing things that feel good to you NOW.

Step by step, day after day, keep going. Let yourself shine, let your soul FREE.

One of the best ways to anchor INTO your soul the mindset your soul TRULY wants, ALL the things you desire into your life, and to speed UP your manifestations is to perform consistent mindset journaling- what I call Mastering Your Mindset journaling.

Like attracts like. The Universe is YOUR oyster. You’ve got this. Love yourself. Be gentle with yourself. And go kick some spiritual ass, you Master Manifestor you!

Carpe Diem!

Self-Potential & Releasing Your Inner Superhero

[image error]

Hey Sensational Soul!

Happy Friday! I was doing some writing earlier today and I realize a lot of us feel STUCK in our own lives because we don’t take the time to celebrate our achievements AND we don’t realize our self-potential. We are so busy being our own worst critic that we completely bypass our own inner badass superhero. Well it’s time to say “hit the road” to your insecurities and speed UP your manifestations into your physical realm!

Every Friday in our Facebook community, Manifest It!, I give empowering mindset shifting journaling prompts to help YOU breakthrough your mental roadblocks!

__________________________________________________

Here is a taste of what you get to help you bring out your inner badass:

 What are 5 things from this week that you are grateful for and/or are proud of yourself for that happened?

Start the sentence with something like: I am thankful for…I am grateful for…I am so proud of myself for…(x 5).

Then state WHY you are grateful for them and proud of yourself for them: I am thankful for them/grateful for them/proud of myself because…(x5)

 What are you good at (personality traits, skills, etc.)?

Answer at least 10 times. Start it with: I AM…

 Think long-term. How do you want to be remembered from your lifetime? Why do you want to be remembered this way?

Answer this question at least 5 times, start the sentence with something like: I want to be remembered for…because…

 Think back on your life. Think and journal out 20 accomplishments you’ve had in your life and state WHY you are thankful/grateful/and proud of having accomplished them. 20- no cheating!







 Finish this sentence 15 times: If I knew I could not fail, I would be doing…because…







 Look at what you journaled out for the 15 sentences above and list them from least scary to most scary.

__________________________________________________

Implementation

Start thinking of ways you can bring yourself CLOSER to your manifestations. What needs to be involved? Who can you talk to in order to obtain knowledge around it? Are there books you can buy or a class you can enroll in (either online or in person)? Review your “good at” list and start implementing. You CAN do this!

Combining the power of law of attraction with training your mindset thoughts and beliefs are a sure-fire way to SHIFT yourself from living in a place of lack and limit INTO living in a place of happiness and abundance. You gotta do the mindset work AND you gotta take those inspired actions!Repetition TRAINS your mindset and communicates TO the Universe what your soul truly desires.

Put on your superhero cape and start creating some magic! The Universe is YOUR oyster. You’ve got this! Have a wonderful weekend.

How Is Your Relationship With Regret?

[image error]

Hey Sensational Soul!

As I sit here writing this while watching my pets sleepily snore on a Sunday afternoon, I am (like usual) contemplating life and our role on this planet. I had a conversation with someone yesterday who is stuck in a pattern of “reacting” vs. responding when it comes to life. I saw the fire in this person, their soul aching to get out and live by its true purpose; however, their thought patterns are currently stuck in victim mentality.

While we cannot control how people live their lives or how others think and feel; nonetheless, what we CAN control is how we (ourselves) live our own lives and we CAN control how we (ourselves) think and feel. And this shapes and creates our new physical reality.

I ended my conversation with this individual by saying, “I don’t want to wake up 20 years from now, if I make it that far, and look back full of regrets thinking and feeling I should have done this or that.”

I want to live in the NOW. I want to relish in the beauty of the present moment. And part of being happy on your own soul’s journey is to be grateful for what you DO have in your life right now and the people who are a positive support system. So many of us look back on our memories and either look back on them in gratitude that we are no longer living in the past; or, many of us look back on the past and think, “I was so happy THEN.”

Look, let me be blunt for a second: the past, no matter how good or bad, is IN the past. There is nothing we can do to bring it back. And continuing to live in the past is only STUNTING our ability to be happy in the present.

[image error]

So how do you let go and ALLOW yourself to relish in your current moments? How can you START truly living your life so that in the future you are not looking back in regret? Here are some tips:

1) Wake up in gratitude. Wake up each morning and while you are getting ready for your day, start telling yourself how “thankful” you are for your bed, your bathroom, your air conditioning, your coffee, your breakfast meal, the ability to be able to breathe on your own, your car, the destination you are going to that allows you to be able to pay your bills each month, your sight, your hearing, your sense of smell, and so much more. There is ALWAYS something to be thankful for in your life. Somewhere on this earth, filled with over 7 billion people, someone does not have the same things you are blessed with in your life.

2) Embrace that alarm sound. Set an alarm in your phone at least 4 times per day to go off so that you take 1-3 minutes and stop what you are doing and have a moment of a mental break. Either close your eyes or keep them open, FOCUS on your breathing, clear out all the noise going on in your mind, and just breathe for 1-3 minutes stating, again, how thankful you are for your ability to be able to have these moments. Think about how thankful you are to have your lunch meal from today, being able to get from place to place by your mode of transportation, and everything else that you may take for granted each day.

Doing this 4 times, or more, on a daily basis is TRAINING your mindset to shift from a negative-thinking cycle into a more positive and centered place of being. This allows your mindset to SHIFT from living in stress/fear to living from a place of your soul’s truest calling. This transformation gives your soul its ability to start communicating TO you more as you ALLOW it to do so from a place of gratitude.

3) The Secret of manifesting. Living in the present in gratitude is the root of ALL manifestations. Daily, consistent practice in your thinking patterns WILL shift because you are TRAINING your mindset, thus your mindset beliefs will also shift. Your consistent awareness of how you are thinking FREES you from the burdens of the “shoulds” in your life. Your soul is aching to get out and you don’t even realize YOU hold the keys to the cage you may be holding yourself hostage in with regards to your physical reality. By ALLOWING your soul to live its true purpose, you ALLOW your manifestations to come into your physical realm. How fascinating is this!?

Your soul, your mindset, and the Universe work TOGETHER, simultaneously, in creating your own reality. And you are the MASTER of your mind, not the other way around. Think of it in terms of learning a math problem or getting into the habit of physically working out: at first it seems hard; but, because you keep at it, the process becomes easier and with practice it becomes more like second-nature to you. You then master those math problems or your body gets into better shape!

Those Fast-Moving Particles

You are full of tiny, fast-moving particles that shape you as a human being. In order to change what is on the outside change must begin INWARDLY. Your mindset CREATES your new reality. You hold so much power within you and you CAN master your mindset with the proper guidance and support system. You CAN manifest anything and everything you truly desire into your life. At ANY given moment in time you can CHOOSE to think and create in ANY direction you decide. You get a choice. You get to choose in this moment, right now. Furthermore, by living through your soul’s truest purpose, those inspired ideas that pop into your head (I call them your soul’s nudges) allow you to SHOW the Universe what you truly desire into your life, thus speeding up the manifestation process. So take those inspired actions, sensational soul!

Are You Going To Make The Rest Of Your Life The Best Of Your Life?

We are NOT promised tomorrow, we have today, right now. Do you want to continue down the same path you are currently on? Or, do you want to set your intentions and CREATE your new physical reality? How do you want to think back on your present and feel about it? How do you WANT to live your life? Do you want to live it full of regret as the main driving source? What do you WANT to be able to think and say 6 months from now, a year from now, 10 years from now (however much time we have on this planet)?

As I told this person yesterday during our conversation, “As long as you are still breathing, and you haven’t croaked yet, it is NEVER too late to start living the life you truly desire and be happy.”

And I wholeheartedly believe this. You ARE worthy of being happy. You ARE worthy of living the life your soul truly wants to live. And your mindset and soul ARE one with the Universe, they work together simultaneously. You ARE in control of your own new reality. You ARE in the driver’s seat, so where do you want to go and who do you want to be? How do you want to leave your mark on this earth? You can do this, I believe in you.

 

Carpe Diem!

Someone Saved My Life Tonight

[image error]This blog post may not be the best article you read, nor may it be one that will stay within your memory after today; but, I must be candid for a few minutes.

Depression is a serious disease. I should know because without my medication I would be in it all over again. My entire business is around helping other souls with their mindset and their mindset beliefs. My purpose and message to the Universe is to help others manifest whatever it is they truly desire into their lives. My focus and passion is to help any and every soul I can help to live in true, authentic happiness. And today I sort of feel like a fraud after the news of Anthony Bourdain. He was a rare gem in this world, not one to shy away from being 100% honest, even if it made you cringe a little sometimes. I feel defeated in an odd way because I can understand how he must have been feeling. Here I am telling souls day after day that they can successfully shift their mindset, and maybe people who follow me never even knew what I was going through, myself.

 

However, I am proof that you CAN get better. 9 years ago I tried to take my own life. I remember that night so clearly. I remember bawling in the fetal position on the bathroom floor of my apartment for hours. I remember my inner demons telling me it “can’t get better”. I remember taking a massive amount of prescription pills and trying to slit my wrists to the music of Elton John’s “Someone Saved My Life Tonight”. Little did I know that song was going to play a more pivotal role leading to my own survival.

 

I was in a really bad relationship with a narcissist for about 2 years. I am an empath, meaning I absorb a lot of people’s energies around me. No matter how hard I try to surround myself with a clear, protective bubble, people’s energies can really soak into me. I remember how my attempt at suicide didn’t work, I felt awful the next day. I was so far down the depression hole at the time that I didn’t feel awful out of guilt- no way. I was so far “gone”. I felt awful because the night before I had sent my “goodbye” emails and there I was still (undeservingly ) breathing the next day. I remember the narcissist telling me, “you only did this to get attention”, when in actuality I did it because I was trying to escape from him, from life, from myself.

 

So why didn’t it work 9 years ago when I attempted? I realized a few months later everything really does happen for a reason. I truly believe I had to hit “rock bottom” in order to understand what I was actually going through at 26 years old. At the time, when I was in my relationship with the narcissist, I didn’t even know what a “narcissist” was until after I attempted to end it all and shortly after decided to go to cognitive therapy. If I had known that my inner demons were so powerfully volatile, and that there IS actually a light at the end of the tunnel, I may not have tried to so hard to say “goodbye” on that strange night. If I had known and understood the complexities of the brain and outside influences (such as toxic relationships with a narcissist), I may not have had such a strong urge to end it all.

I truly believe what I went through prepared me for what I am now doing 9 years later at 35 years old: teaching other souls in this world to KEEP GOING. Everything stems from our mindset. The mind can be so restless, but it doesn’t have to control you. And while depression feels 1000% real within ourselves, there truly IS another direction we can start mentally moving towards in order to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Leaving our earth is not the ONLY option. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely doable.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from depression, I strongly urge going to cognitive therapy. This type of therapy is actually what saved my life the next night, and every night since then until I was fully healed. While I do not hold a PhD in psychology, I do what I can as a mentor to help people shift their mindset to the best of their abilities. It is time to be OPEN and HONEST about depression and mental illness. There is NOTHING wrong with having a mental illness. And it does NOT have to control you and your life. You CAN live in authentic happiness with the proper guidance and support system surrounding you. And it can start today, right now.

 

Do not give up. Keep going. You are NOT alone. It is perfectly OKAY to seek help. And it is perfectly OKAY to be honest and REAL in this world. Each and every single one of us is a faceted gem that help to shape this world we live in. And you are such a rarity in this Universe. You ARE needed here, with us.

 

Warmest Love,

So You Made A “Mistake”…It Doesn’t Mean You Aren’t Manifesting It

[image error]

Hey Sensational Soul!

When was the last time you made a “mistake” and forgave yourself? I’ll take a few minutes while you find it within your mental files…

Seriously, though! Do you believe that a “mistake” is ACTUALLY a mistake? What if what you think is a “mistake” is actually a re-direction TOWARDS your soul’s highest happiness?

Your Dream Career

For example: you killed it at the dream-job interview. You said the right things, you smiled, they smiled back, your pauses were perfectly timed, and your handshake was confident (but not too aggressive). You KNOW you are getting this job! Cut to 2 days later and they send you an email telling you that they have gone a different direction. You are confused, disappointed, and want to know why. What is the first thing you think?

If you answered something to the point of deflecting any flaws that you may contain, then you are on the right path! However, most people tend to blame themselves and feel they (themselves) are the reason for why they didn’t get the job. They feel they have made a mistake somewhere in the process.

What’s Meant To Be Will Always Find A Way

But what if you were not MEANT for this job because something SO MUCH BETTER is coming FOR you? What if you didn’t get this “dream” job because on the surface you can’t always REALLY see and understand how this job was not what your soul truly desired? What if the people who work at your “dream” job are actually horrible people to work with? What if they start you out with reasonable hours, but they had plans to squeeze out 10+ MORE hours per week out of you at some point? What if the job sounded appealing, but you got it and once you started working you were not doing what you thought you would be doing? And so what if the money at this “dream” job was SO GREAT, is it really something to focus on for why you aren’t “good enough” to get the job?

My point is: I know several people who thought their “dream” job was PERFECT for them; however, they didn’t get this job. They were so bummed and thought they did something wrong. I coached them and told them to SHIFT their mindset and approach it from a different angle in that the Universe KNOWS what your soul truly desires because you already did the asking for it.

Taking The Leap Of Faith

These same people who were bummed about being passed for this “dream” job decided to focus on the understanding that something even BETTER was meant for them. They relaxed, they trusted, they believed, and they surrendered into the “timing” and the “how” of their dream job. Of course, these people are NOW working in their ACTUAL dream jobs! Not only do they love what they are doing, they love their hours, their commute, the people they work around, AND the money is even MORE than what they were sulking about from their “dream” job they didn’t receive! How exciting is this!?

The Takeaway

So the next time you are upset about something that didn’t work out and you feel like you made a “mistake”, think about it this way:

The Universe ALWAYS has your back! The Universe IS either manifesting exactly what you want; or, something even BETTER IS coming FOR you! Relax, trust, and understand that the Universe works behind the scenes to rearrange things that are meant FOR you and your soul’s highest happiness. YES!

So practice, practice, practice on your Mastering Your Mindset journaling every single day, and focus on feeling GOOD each day while your REAL dream is finishing cooking. Stay positive, keep going, and have FUN in life. Your order is on its way TO YOU. Things aren’t always as great as they seem on the surface. Don’t let first impressions fool you.

There is never a real mistake, everything happens for your soul’s highest happiness. You’ve got this.

Carpe Diem!

Love > Fear

[image error]

Love is greater than fear. Love is treating yourself with the tender, loving, care than is healthy and needed each day. Love is treating others by seeing the good in them. Love is telling your fears to go “f*ck off!” each time you feel a fear creeping up to the surface.

Love Is Purpose

Love is following your soul’s calling. What does your gut, your intuition, pull you towards? This is your soul’s calling. What gives you purpose in life?What has you waking up each day and looking forward to the day? If you don’t know, it’s perfectly okay! What are you passionate about? Perhaps it is art, or music, or science, or poetry, children, animals, there IS SOMETHING underneath those layers you have built up around yourself to try and stifle anything that causes an emotional reaction.

Love Is Your Message

Love is following your soul’s value and message in life. What is your message to the world? How do you bring value to this Universe and to humanity? What does your soul TRULY want to do in order to give back to humanity and to our earth? What is YOUR message? Forget about everyone else’s thoughts or opinions. They are only scared, THEMSELVES, and so they speak ill of others in order to ATTEMPT to fill the void that is their own lack of self-love. Forget about them. They do not pay your bills at the end of the day. Follow your soul’s message and give it to the world!

Love Is Freedom

Love is greater than fear. Love is all encompassing. Love is FREEDOM. Love is full of ALLOWING. Love is loving life. Life is right now. Life is not promised to anyone for tomorrow. Life is RIGHT NOW. Life is waiting FOR YOU to start living it. Life is waiting FOR YOU to start living by your soul’s true calling. Let me say it again: life is right NOW. You ARE allowed to live your life the way you so choose to live it. You ARE allowed and worthy to be who you WANT to be. You want to be a tennis player who earns a living by playing tennis? Go do it! You LOVE tennis? Go play it after work. ALLOW yourself to be FREE. Allow yourself to learn tennis, and with DAILY practice, you start mastering the skill of playing tennis.

Love Is Manifesting

This is exactly HOW you learn the art of manifesting Universal abundance (and anything else your soul truly desires) into your life. You gotta LOVE what you are doing, who you ARE, how you ARE living. You gotta LOVE yourself and your love for life blossoms. Your love for life attracts more things and people that are to love and are loving into your physical sphere.

Love Is Allowing & Surrendering

Love is ALLOWING and SURRENDERING to the Universe, God, the angels, Source, however you want to title it. Love is allowing ANY and ALL blessings to come into your physical realm. Love is surrendering to ANY and ALL ways of “how” and “when” the Universe delivers your manifestation. The Universe either manifests EXACTLY what you want into your physical realm; or, something much BETTER comes FOR you! You gotta trust, you gotta believe, you gotta KNOW that the way to manifest is to live in LOVE. Love is following your soul’s nudges (your gut, your intuition) and going forth, taking inspired actions DAILY. Keep going!

Love Is Never Giving Up

Love is never giving up on your dreams because they ARE manifesting behind the scenes before they, BOOM!, just appear into your physical realm (and it WILL happen!). Love is TRUSTING, love is BELIEVING, love is being OPEN and ALLOWING, love is SURRENDERING. Love is greater than fear. Love is greater than fear and it gives us purpose in the world. Fear is false if you so CHOOSE it to be. Love is empowering. Love is loving yourself and loving your life that is right NOW, not tomorrow. Love is the way.

Love IS the Universe. Love IS this earth. Love IS its inhabitants.

Love IS…well, love is YOU.

Keep going, you’ve got this.

Carpe Diem!
