Don't struggle alone
As humans, we live in the Maya of distraction, comparison and judgment. We are constantly comparing ourselves to others, and the media doesn't play fair. We are shown images of thin, fit, "perfect" bodies – but in the eyes of whom? 300 years ago, those images were larger, rounder, fuller versions of a body, and thin wasn't "in" – it meant hungry and poor. So what changed? Medical definitions for one, of course, but so much more than that affects how we see our bodies, and what our individual—yes, it's uniquely ours—definition of healthy depends on our body alone. Last week in my coaching session (even coaches have coaches!), my dear mentor asked me "how do I feel about my body?" And a lot of deep, sorrowful emotions came up, reminding me that this is still, after two decades of work, an area I still need to (and may always need to) focus on. As a woman who's been sexually abused, raped, and bullied, this work may never be done in this lifetime. But I can mark progress, awareness, and self-care as success; making sure to allow the emotions to move through me, and let them go back to the light, as they aren't mine, they're just part of the illusion of this reality. My coach and I revisited the tools I know to use but don't. Right? How many of us know what to do and how to help others heal, but forget to do that for ourselves until the issue comes to an ugly, rearing head. Those tools are: ✎ Messages - Mantras - Awareness Messages around the house to remind me, "I have a body," "I honor my body where it's at," "I love my body," "I am okay, I am safe and I am loved," and "What are you thinking?" The last is my personal favorite, to just bring awareness to the thoughts that bubble up through the mind, because we have 80,000 of them a day, and 80% of them are negative – often more about ourselves than anything else. But the rest of the messages are there to help reprogram the tracks that aren't mine. To have awareness around what I say internally, and reword that if it doesn't suit me. Sometimes, when it feels hard to say we love our bodies, we can just start with "I have a body." ✎ Self Care and Vehicle Maintenance Self Care – taking time for my body, to do the right things it needs, to think of it like the temple it is, and feed it the fuel it needs to be healthy – and to NOT feed it the emotional food that just fills the void. Also taking time to move it, clean it, and treat it like the vehicle it is. We are not our bodies, we are the soul spark inside of them, but if we want to inhabit this earth for as long as we do, we must take care of the one and only vehicle we get for this incarnation. ✎ Spiritual Connection and Honor Flipping the script from the negative can be easier if we choose the spiritual route. Having a spiritual connection with our bodies can be as simple as saying "My body is a temple. I choose to respect," and honor the body like it's your church. Pay it the same respect you do a sacred space, and it will shift your love, respect, and honor quickly. When we unite as a collective to commit to honoring this for each other and for our children, we can shift the old narratives that are outdated and hurtful. So if this resonates with you—to commit to shifting this narrative about body image and what a healthy body looks like, send me a message. I'd love to hear from you.

Accountability, Introspection & Diving Deeper This week's Sage is written by my office magician, Mary. Last week, during our weekly meeting, toward the end of our usual agenda she opened up about the strangeness she felt during this season with a realization that she shared with me. Now, Mary has been working with me for almost two years now, and upon her inquisition it dawned on me how much of myself has rubbed off on her. Through the months she has become more open with her feelings and thoughts and has developed a more autonomous approach to our work and, as she expressed, her personal life. It's a beautiful thing to see such growth in a young person, and I'm certain you have Marys in your life that you can relate this to. Dear reader, Mary here. Before I share my realization with you, I'd like to direct my utmost gratitude to Andy for giving me this wonderful platform to share my thoughts and for being my mentor and friend. It had been a few weeks where I had felt strange, almost as though I wasn't truly myself. Oftentimes, I'd catch myself detached from the present, unable to fully and freely connect to my surroundings. It was weird because, simultaneously, I was also very emotional, introspective and discontent (even when life was good and I felt like I had no reason to be unhappy). Inside was a bubbling brook of emotions that I couldn't grasp. It felt like water slipping through my fingers – it was frustrating and for the first week or two I didn't really know how to deal with myself. The first weekend of September I read Lena's astrological forecast. It had talked about a planetary switching and that's when it all clicked. We had entered into another Mercury retrograde, this time in Libra – the deification of practicality and rational thought. Everything started to make sense. My introspection, withdrawal from my true self, overall moodiness... all this was brought to attention and magnified by the retrograde. Maybe some of you don't believe in this stuff, but to me the science is simple: We are all made up of energy and when planets realign, so do we, just like how the ocean tides are controlled by the moon's gravitational pull. So, I did what any rational person would do, I stopped and let the discovery sink in. After getting my bearings back, I slowly untied this giant knot of strange emotions and, don't get me wrong, it was difficult and it took a week or so to sort myself out. During the process I realized two important things: 1) You have to be easy and kind to yourself, and 2) working on yourself, being rational in thought while untying these not-so-pretty emotions, is not a straight upward line. It's the squiggliest line you'll ever encounter. That's how complex we are, and this is why it's so important that we are kind and patient to ourselves as we go along this process, even if you don't like what you discover along the way. Finally, after another week, I began to look further into this so-called "Mercury retrograde". What's all the fuss about? It was surprising to say the least, most of the things you'll find on social media carry a general theme toward this particular planetary event. Allow me to share some of them with you:  Perhaps it's naivety, or my first season fully acknowledging this terrestrial phenomenon (you can say that I'm a beginner in retrograde participation), but what's stranger than the emotions I had felt then was what I'd seen on media. Putting blame on a natural occurrence as opposed to taking full accountability for one's actions does not sit right with me. From my meager understanding, the retrograde puts things into perspective and amplifies certain aspects of it. It's completely up to you how you use it to your advantage, or disadvantage for that matter. If it's the latter, there is no one else to blame but yourself. I've come to realize that the retrograde brought my person into light, including the parts which I do not like – the ugly parts. It's your job to come to terms with who you are through all the phases and seasons of life.
Instead of stereotypically cowering back waiting for the retrograde to pass, use it to your advantage to understand yourself on a deeper, more enlightened level. There is no need to figure out which parts of you you need to work on, the planetary shift already did it on your behalf. This is a wonderful time to purge, to enhance your strengths and turn your weaknesses into allies. While everyone else is staying still, you are advancing toward a more real, truer version of yourself, using the season to your advantage, finding strength in your weakness, you have used the retrograde as a catalyst to your evolution. Sincerely, Mary Becoming the Best Version of Yourself. . .
One of the most transformative things that you can do for yourself is to remember who you truly are. I'm not talking about the "you" who you think you are, or the one defined by the roles you play or the masks you wear. Not the one who is driven by fear, insecurity or need. But the real you – pure, shining, precious, whole, undamaged and undefended. That "you" lies deep within. It's another dimension of self, some would say "true self," that's been there since birth, but only seldom tapped into or discovered. Now, you may wonder: If I have a true self, then why wasn't it my default self to begin with? Why am I someone else when I could've been this truer version in the first place, and why is it so difficult to be that version? Throughout the course of our lives, we've developed false identities in order to survive and thrive in the world. We learn to seek approval or create a certain image that we show to the world or take a stand as independent or defiant. We strive for money, power, control, or love. It's the human in us. And it is so understandable why we do this. Early on in life, we get the message that who we truly are is unacceptable. We shouldn’t feel the way we feel, we should think and act in ways that will please those around us. We learn to suppress ourselves, to ignore and avoid our natural longings so we can feel safe and loved. The result? Confusion, alienation, separation and massive discontent. This is how we gradually lose our way. The trail of breadcrumbs back to our true selves is always available – we just need to learn how to recognize it. Moments of joy and contentment, the flash of a creative idea, an inner knowing that cannot be denied, a fleeting sense of being connected to all of life, a realization of love so huge that it seems impossible to contain. When you notice these experiences, stop and let yourself revel in the celebration. And then there are the breadcrumbs of another sort. These call us to be honest, investigate, study how our conditioning works, be vigilant so we can choose wisely. Some examples: being caught in the whirlwind of a habit; recognizing the ways you avoid and defend; becoming aware of a consistent pattern in choices you make that don’t serve you; general unhappiness. If you use these experiences well, you see them clearly with open eyes. You are willing to change and let go. You see them as a reflection of the ways you are veiled, and you stay true to your intention to remember your truest, happiest self. In truth, you are never stuck. Being stuck is a frame of mind, unwillingness, a strategy of self-protection. What seems stuck is always ready to soften, and all it takes is your kindness, your clear intention, your willingness to put down all the weapons of defense and rest in things as they are. When you touch into who you really are, there is a recognition. Oh, I remember. That’s who I am, and we meet ourselves like a long-lost friend. If you're ready to tap into this dimension of self, your truest form – we have special tools that will guide you along the way and enhance your journey toward rediscovery. Our team is hard at work building these free tools that you can use to get to where you want to be, so stay tuned because we'll be launching them very soon. Inspired by the Transducer and Scribe. . .
I've been an avid admirer of Peggy Black's 'Morning Messages' for a long time now. Her work is a source of inspiration to me, packed with so much love, self-awareness and wisdom. Recently, I encouraged my office magician, Mary, to join their mailing list. So captured by these messages, she put together three well-connected pieces and is sharing them with you. I've repeatedly read these myself and they never lose efficacy – their impact in my life, and now Mary's, is extraordinary. Peggy is known as a transducer, scribe and witness, and here's why. The Multidimensional Self You as a human, with a body, carry within yourself a reflection of the stars, moon, and sun. You carry an aspect, a reflection, an interface with the galaxy. Remember, this is a game of evolution, a game of consciousness, a game that allows all energetic signatures to be experienced. You as human are like the most sophisticated, refined, highly developed consciousness that could be designed. You are information gatherers: sensing, feeling, and ever expanding from Divine Mind. You Are An Uplifter Each human comes in contact with others who resonate and carry the same frequency. You can look into your life experiences and see what results came from the vibrational patterns that you offered. Look into your past. We might add that you do this without judgment; just observe the experiences, the patterns, the people that you attracted, the jobs you sourced, the painful as well as the pleasant unfolding of your life experiences. Once you have observed your life from this neutral place, you will recognize repeated patterns, habits, and repeated realities that you continue to call forth. This knowledge is your power. Now you can begin to offer a different frequency, different feeling, and different thought. Each time you consciously make a shift to a new pattern, feeling or thought, you attract and bring forth a different result. Multidimensional Transformers When you stay in the present moment, conscious in your own magnificence, viewing the outside events from a vibration of joy, gratitude and appreciation there is a flow. There is a connection to the higher matrix, the divine weaving, in which all things are possible. It is through the heart portal that this higher matrix is available.Most humans have shut down their heart portal. They have experienced emotional pain, loss of love, betrayal and rejection. Once the heart portal is cleared of any pain, real or imagined, it is now a powerful transformer and can be used in service to transform the dense frequencies of fear, hatred, prejudice and numbness that is in the collective. Reading and believing in our capacity as multidimensional individuals is an enlightening and strengthening process. The above are just bits and pieces of Peggy's work, and we encourage you to check her other works out. They've transformed my life in more ways than one. Six human needs
Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? What causes you to pick Option A from Option B? What force drives and shapes your actions, emotions and, ultimately, your destinies? A few days ago I revisited Tony Robbin's '6 human needs' and thought this would be great to share. The answers to these questions are traced back to our childhood and can all be explained by learning and understanding the 6 basic human needs. The inability to meet these needs can bring about dysfunctional behaviors. Sometimes you wonder, "why did I do / say that? Something just came over me." This is called the 'shadow' which lurks in the deep, repressed parts of our personality. Your shadow self will always be a part of you, and any imbalance or tipping of scales in these needs may arise a stirring toward a more dark and repressed side in your personality, which at times, is inevitable. So, how do we develop and fulfill these needs in an effective and healthy way? First we must understand that, individually, we prioritize our needs differently and our decisions are based on which needs we put first. While these needs are intrinsic, you must remember that your past is not your future and your present choices dictate how these needs are met. The six (6) human needs are as follows. • Certainty: If this is one of your core needs, safety and security about the future are of great importance to you. Upon receiving a positive form of recognition, it may be accompanied by a need for certainty that the recognition is authentic and will continue. To continuously live in certainty, you seek a life that has to stay the same. You artificially control your environment to meet this need by changing your expectations or by avoiding new situations. In reality this is a difficult and exhausting feat. Life is ever-evolving. It's important that you find balance by opening yourself up to activities you enjoy while slowly pushing the boundaries. Slowly but surely, you'll be surprised with the progress you've made, the new people you've met, and the new situations you were able to ascribe yourself to. • Uncertainty: You strive for variety and sometimes push boundaries to the extreme. You're unafraid to take risks, meet new people and get into different situations, seeking new stimuli. Uncertainty can be beautiful, but there must be a balance. In order to fulfill this need for variety, you will want to switch things up in moderation. Feed your mind with new information, try a new workout routine, eat new foods and try hobbies that allow you to meet new people. • Significance: Playing an important role in many people's lives is important to you. This translates into a desire to be seen, heard and listened to. This sense of importance gives you validation, makes you feel needed and special. Recognition is an innate and major driving force behind human behavior because it provides us with a measurement system to analyze and track our significance. Naturally, you are competitive and highly driven. You must be careful, though, because this drive can get channeled into a wayward direction. To wield this ambitious nature, it's important to learn to channel this drive into healthy activities, like learning a new hobby or sport, or working on skills that enhance the natural leader instinct in you. • Connection: You constantly seek close relationships with someone or something and truly understand that love wakes you up to the gift of life. Without love, there's nothing worth living for. Everyone needs love, and this can lead to many incredibly fulfilling relationships. But you must be careful and guard your heart—some connections may not be as pure as you think it is. In order to fulfill the need for genuine and loyal connections, be open to vulnerability. Communicate your desires and needs. You have the ability to achieve greater spirituality through meditation, prayer and connecting with nature. • Growth: In your core is a need to strive for better; to learn more. You know your worth and your potential, and seek out avenues to showcase your abilities through various arts, jobs and situations. It's a wonderful thing to push boundaries and never settle for less, but it's just as important to step back, take a deep breath and relax. You cannot be an effective agent of growth if you are heading toward a burnout. You must learn how to stop. Rest is not complacency, but a key component of growth. Challenge yourself to not only learn new skills, but to also master and utilize them in practical settings. Don't forget emotional and spiritual growth as these are important factors in your overall growth as an evolved human being. Examine your limiting beliefs, learn to control your emotions and take up hobbies like meditation to keep you grounded. • Contribution: You want to make a big difference, however, it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that giving begins at home and neglect those closest to you on your pursuit to changing the world. Learn to step back and reflect. You cannot give from an empty cup, therefore it's completely okay to focus on you and your needs before contributing to everything else at a larger scale. It's simply an act of self-preservation and by no means selfish once done with pure intent. Knowing which of your 6 human needs is your primary driver and how this affects your ability to connect with others and develop healthy relationships is crucial to your understanding of what fuels you. It can also help you better understand and manage triggers and be in charge of your own emotions. It also helps to know others' basic needs, so ask clarifying questions of the ones you love and work with to better help your communication and growth together! Don't take this personally...
I have been moving through this amazing book by Don Miguel Ruiz in a "book club" of sorts with my work buddies. It's just a little book, with a big message, called the four agreements. As with anything, since this book came back into my field of play, it's been loud and clear. I didn't plug in right away. One of our work mentors said she based her career on this book and it served her well, and we should all read it together. The next two team meetings we had a session where we could share about this book. I didn't. Yet the 4 Agreements kept showing up for me. They are, if you're not familiar: · Be Impeccable With Your Word. · Don't Take Anything Personally. · Don't Make Assumptions. · Always Do Your Best. A week later, I was reminded—very blatantly—not to take a friend's decision personally. Then I was reminded, twice mind you, that making assumptions never leads to a good place. Then I was triggered by, and had to do some rREST around, someone not sticking to their word. And all the while, almost daily, I am reminded that how you do one thing is how you do everything. If you haven't read this book—now that I've brought it up—you may want to. I would never "should" on you, but these are great, simple, and precise lessons for life and doing life with ease. As is our motto. We want you to skate through your troubles with a positive attitude. We want you to smile—nay, LAUGH—at every little hiccup like it's NBD. We want you to manifest your deepest dreams, and all the abundance you deserve, with ease. Star Portals and Alignments
Most of you know I'm a huge fan of Peggy Black and the team, each month she puts out an amazingly poignant message for her global community and it always hits me right where it needs to. This month's message is no different, so I thought I'd share with you as part of our weekly Saturday Sage... I have had a very emotional two weeks – the Lion's Gate, the astrology, and the triggers mentioned below are making for tough times for us, but remember, we are processing big things, and we do this together! Please continue to do your work, you're making big waves! Star Portals and Alignments • from Peggy and the 'team' We are here celebrating with you and supporting you as you are being triggered by the intense, yet lovely, gift of energy from your galactic family. This gift is of the highest integrity and intention from the sacred realms of truth and love. These intensifying energies being transferred into this dimension, as you have been made aware, are specific portals available for all, especially those who are ready to be activated. You might call these energy downloads star portals or star gates. During these energy gifts there is an alignment of dimensions and the opportunity is presented for the veils between dimensions to thin. This is also the time to stay in your joy, gratitude and appreciation. You are more receptive when vibrating a high clear, cohesive vibration generated by these pure emotions. We remind you of the importance of drinking much water and being sure that you give your physical body good nourishment, quiet rest as well as time outdoors. This is an opportunity to allow the frequency transfer that is being offered to be assimilated into your system. We remind you to be open and receptive to the gifts being given. Each person reacts to and is affected differently by these energies of cosmic influxes from star portals and alignments. There are those who will simply think that they have the flu or that they have eaten something that disagreed with them. They will pass this off without being aware. There will be other humans who will sense that something has happened, however they do not have any reference points in their belief system to include the truth. There will be others who will simply resist; the minute they feel the energy frequency all their defenses will be put into place. They will ride these surges of energy in a total personal lock down. Those that resist will feel the most discomfort, their physical, emotional, mental and energy bodies will manifest the resistance in some manner according to the weakest point. There are a multitude of humans who are aware and awake who will welcome this opportunity. They will see this as the gift and adventure that it is. Again, depending on their receptivity, each one will experience this dimensional alignment in a different manner. These star gate offerings have been given to this planet since the beginning and each time there has been a shift, however small; however subtle, in the consciousness of humans. We are observing the incredible evolution and expansion of consciousness happening in the minds of earth dwellers at this time. There is a waking you might say. The awareness that each human is multidimensional is being claimed by more and more humans. These star gates, star portals are simply offerings which will allow humans who are aware of their deep connection to the stars to expand into their grandness and their celestial presence. We realize as many of you sit at the computer and read our stream of information and look at the solidness of the trees and the world around you, the idea that everything is in flux and everything is frequency and there is an open star gate seems a bit like a fantasy or movie. Remember that physical reality is only one aspect of the divine, it is the hologame. Now we are suggesting that you stand in the hologame, in the comfort and familiar physical reality and allow your consciousness to expand and include the possibility that there is a doorway open to other realms and that you have a personal invitation to walk through. We might say you can skip, dance, run or even hop through these doorways. We invite you to surrender into trust and to consciously request and ask for any assistance you might need. There are loving teams of beings ever ready to support and guide you and all others into this new adventure. The important key to remember is the willingness and the asking. State your intentions clearly and then surrender. The celestial realms are most supportive of the transformation of consciousness that is taking place on your planet at this time. They are here to support this frequency. The programs within your bio-computer and the data bank of your DNA are all being upgraded and activated. Celebrate this and discover what this DNA upgrade means to you. Notice new abilities, awarenesses, clarity, even understanding of cosmic truths. Become aware of the new skills that emerge, the sense of knowing, the sense of connectedness, the sense of oneness. This is happening on a global level and as it does it is reflected and projected into the cosmic level. Welcome the influx, welcome the dimensional alignment, welcome the sensitivity to the new frequencies bathing you and others. You are a warrior of light, here to anchor this new truth. You are here to call forth the new harmonic humanity. You are to witness these awesome star gates that are available for humanity to move to the higher dimension. You have been waiting for this moment. You have been inviting and envisioning these events. These higher frequencies of awareness and light are something that humanity has not had access to before. This shift of consciousness will continue to flower in all areas of this planet. There will be a surge of creative expression and realization that will welcome the transformation of all that has been out of balance with humanity. The seeds of these potent cosmic moments will continue to offer upgrades affecting humanity for years to come. This is the beginning. Realize that you and humanity have crossed a threshold into a new expanded unified field of conscious clarity. Welcome this reality; use your prayers and clear intentions as seeds of light planted in the fertile energy that is being offered. These cosmic moments offer the opportunity to activate all the very best that humanity can be. Remember that everything you do or express, think or feel is affecting humanity, your entire hologame and the many parallel universes. Be aware of your true personal power in all matters. You are a multidimensional star being temporally dwelling in your physical form. Give yourself the support needed to assimilate and integrate the gifts given by the realms of truth and light. We are here for you at all times. You are well loved. Be at peace, Beloved the 'team' Feel into the chakra
Recently, I've been shown the same scenario, and when this happens, again and again, I take a pause and ask, "what's the message here." If we get quiet, and observe, we always—always—get the clarity. But that's the challenge, in this world, is to be able to be the calm in the storm. Take a breath. Step outside, step into a closet if you have to, close your eyes, breathe deep into the bottom of your lungs, and ask, "what is the message?" I know I've talked about the body messages before—Louise Hay's teachings start here. The body has a message, every time. But I want to take that a step deeper this week and help you get practiced at this physical awareness process and listen, using your body as a transmitter for messages. At its most attuned state, the body can operate like a strong magnetic receiver. If you allow it to be just the transmitter, moving energy and emotion through it. From picking up synchronous directional feeds to guide you—to clearing ancestral emotional trauma—your body is a vehicle for moving energy. The hangup is that our body tends to store energy like a battery, versus move the energy like a current. When you have that awareness, that your body shouldn't store anything—from negativity to fat cells to free radicals—it should in fact move things, like nutrients through fiber. We eat food and excrete waste, right? Why don't we do that with energy and emotion? One of my hacks for this is feeling into the chakra. If you aren't, get familiar with your chakra system, what these 7 energy centers represent, and what energies and emotions they relate to. This is key, because the body part that feels the pain (let's say it's your shoulder) related to a chakra, in this case your heart chakra. And if you can say, "Okay shoulder, what are you telling me about my heart?" Then you pause, listen to your heart, breathe in the colors of green and pink, and you will always get a message. Breathing into your chakras is a good practice to keep. It keeps your energy centers moving, processing energy and flowing it out like a current, and not holding on to the things that don't serve you. From your ancestral poverty stories to yesterday's argument with the neighbor. Honor your emotions, and feel them, thank them, love them. But then move them through you, and don't let them store in the parts of your body—that will take on whatever you let it—and fester, sometimes for years, creating chronic issues like frozen shoulder.  Just give me a week
The problem doesn't lie in the world around you, isn't a product of bad luck, or isn't found in unfortunate circumstances. The problem lies in your brain. Your brain is its own unique and infinite super computer, capable of programming your reality and generating/manifesting everything your heart desires. The problem is, your brain was programmed first, before you could decide how you wanted to program it. It needs to have a hard-reset to give it a clean slate, in order to program it to create the life of your dreams. Give me (1) week with your brain, and I guarantee we'll begin rewiring it together. Catch yourself saying, I can't, even just once, and you'll begin see where you limit your potential, halt your dreams, restrict the universe from gifting you the pathway to a brighter future. I can't, tells the universe that you don't have the bandwidth for more. Instead, I offer you a new program of asking for help. Where you feel I can't trickle in, halt that old, unwanted program, and instead, say: Source, I don't know how I can make this happen, so please send me the resources, people, and power to make it happen. Such as... You really want to afford that $997 photography course on wildlife in the Yellowstone National Park. You don't have the time or money to do this course, but you dream of it every day. Instead of saying, I'd love to do that BUT I could never take the time off, or I could never afford it, ask Source for help by flipping the script and saying: Guides, I don't know how I'm going to find the time and money to do this, but I really feel like this course is in my best interest, so please bring me the resources, people, and power to make it happen. And say that every morning when you wake up, and every night before you go to bed. Then, when the boss randomly gives you an extra week paid vacation this year, you affirm the gift as a sign and say, Thank you, Guides! For paving the way for me to take this photo course in Yellowstone! Please keep the momentum flowing for this to be, by continuing to send me the resources, people, and power to make it happen! It's not hard to retrain your brain. It just takes awareness and practice. If you didn't catch last week's email/post on The Magnet in Your Brain, go back and check it out here. It'll help paint the picture of just how powerful your brain truly is. And if you want to spend a week with Andy in a bootcamp for your brain, email us to get in early, while we're formulating what that looks like. You, my friend, are the master of your universe. Start wielding that power like you own it. Because you do. You get what you give
I recently watched the movie The Secret: Dare to Dream—not to be confused with The Secret, although connected to it, the former is a fictional tale about a tropical storm, an inventor, and a widow and her kids... But it's teeming with synchronicities, great messages, and poignant anecdotes for life. My favorite of those messages is the simple but solid magnet analogy... The magnet attracts by a force unseen but so real. Your brain is powerful like that. It attracts what it thinks. So you think "bad shit always happens," and that's sure what you'll get. You think, "life brings me miracles every day," and that's what you'll get. And when life throws you hard fast balls you can't hit, followed by a curve ball you can't hit, and another zinger maybe after that—you could drop the bat and say forget it, I can't hit the ball. Or you can wait it out, because wild pitches always lead to balls, and then just walk your fancy ass to first base. If baseball ain't your thing, here's another way to look at it. It might look hard, impossible, or just plain unfair, over and over; and if you use those words to describe it, then that's how it'll be. But if you choose better words, insert childlike curiosity and ask yourself how you can spin it, it could actually look easy. Such as needing a road on your new property, and finding out the old tenant, who do awesomely keeps loaning you his UTV to get around your new land on, says "my brother builds roads," like it's no big deal. Or your deck builder, who was 3 hours away suddenly gets re-stationed to your county for 2 months, and you know it's no coincidence. Our life in TN is unfolding just like that. Not because we are lucky. But because we expect that little miracles and Synchronicity move our life forward just the way it's supposed to. You can have that too, if you choose to. Just write a better script. If you missed our Manifesting with Synchronicity Live yesterday, catch the replay on either the MWS or Affirmations FB groups. We talked more about the magnet in your brain and how to wire it better. |
