Re-Enchant Your Life

Today is reminding you to step into your power.

Do you know what it feels like to step into your power?

To dance with your power, to own and embody your power?

You are not designed to stand on the sidelines of your life, you were cast as the leading lady.

Are you actions congruent and aligned with a woman stepping up and owning her own space, her own body, owning her ideas and her dreams?

Are you using your voice and actions to express your truth, or are you toning yourself down, and hiding part of yourself for the comfort of others?

It's time to call back your power and live your life with you and your needs front and centre.

You can still care and support others, but this is a time of 'Me first', so that you have the reserves to support others from a place of fullness and love, rather than resentment and overwhelm.

You have nothing to prove.

This isn't about power over, a power of overcoming another, it's not loud or brash, it is a deeper, quiet power, a power from within, a power that just is.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you tap into your own power.

SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to notice who and what you have given your power away to.

If you find yourself holding back on sharing your truth because you think you may be silenced, shamed, ridiculed or rejected, it's time to be honest with yourself.

You are not responsible for the reactions of others; they are responsible for themselves.

Call back your power, feel the cords that are connected to others, coming back to you with love and ease.

Stand in your truth, do and say what you need to say – you can do this loudly or quietly, but notice what no longer serves you and what's holding you back from fully expressing your truth, and then let it go, heal it, get support, but decide if you want to keep it or not – that's your choice, and that's your power.

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to call back your power.

Today's Affirmation:

"I am ready to stand in and fully own my power"

Today is reminding you of the power of 'No'.

You can absolutely say 'No'.

You can say 'No' even if the request is reasonable and asked from a place of integrity.

You can say 'No' because you don't want to be busy, or even busier.

You can say 'No', for no other reason than you don't feel like it.

You can say 'No' and just take the time to sit at home and do nothing.

You can say 'No' as a way of saying 'Yes' to yourself and your own passions.

It's time to stop applauding people, especially women, who are super busy and running themselves into the ground, the people with so many things on their plate that they can barely keep their head above water, and instead congratulate the woman who prioritises rest and her own health, self-care and sanity.

When you say 'No' to others, you are saying 'Yes' to yourself, your energy, your relationships and your family.

Of course, someone might initially be upset that you've said 'No', but it's much better that you're honest and upfront rather than feeling resentful or saying 'No' at the very last-minute causing everyone involved additional stress.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel into the power of saying 'No'.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to practice saying 'No'.

Start by saying the word out loud, 'No', 'No', 'No'.

Then look yourself in the mirror and repeat the word 'No'

Get really comfortable hearing and saying the word 'No'.

Then when it feels appropriate, when someone asks you to do something that you don't want to, say 'No'.

No guilt, no dramas, just say 'No'.

Pause, and take a breath. As you give yourself permission to say 'No'.

Today's Affirmation:

"I lovingly say 'No' so that I can say 'Yes' to myself"

Today you're being reminded to keep showing up for yourself.

And keep showing up for your dreams and desires.

Show up even when it feels hard.

Show up even when you feel tired.

Show up even when you feel that you'd rather give up.

Showing up for yourself and your dreams may look like taking bold and courageous action.

It may look like speaking out, going against the crowd and appearing to be a lone voice.

Showing up for yourself can also look like saying 'no' and prioritising your need to stop so that you can take time to process and assimilate all that you go through.

Showing up for yourself can also look like being fiercely protective of your need to rest, nourish and rejuvenate.

Take up space with your presence, voice and ideas.

Be unapologetic in your belief for yourself.

Get your needs met.

Do what you need to do.

Acknowledge the ebb and flow of your energy as you learn to honour your changing needs.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel into showing up for yourself.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to acknowledge your changing needs.

Start tracking your energy levels and emotions.

You're a woman, you are not designed to be static.

Your energy ebbs and flows throughout the month.

Notice how it relates to your own menstrual cycle, and / or the cycle of the moon – there's no coincidence that the average length of cycle for both a woman and the moon are 28-29 days.

Download the free charting tool from my site, linked here and become curious.

Use the information that you gather as a tool to fully show up for yourself and your needs, you'll be amazed at just how much more productive you'll become, and how you'll feel less crazy and more in tune with yourself and your own rhythms.

Pause, and take a breath. As you give yourself permission to show up for yourself.

"I unapologetically show up for myself"

Today you're being reminded to trust yourself.

To go within and reconnect to your inner wisdom.

Whatever your concern, your challenge, or question, the true answer lies within.

When you can retreat and listen to your own wisdom, you will find clarity about your next course of action.

You can seek wisdom, counsel and guidance from those trusted sources around you, but ultimately the final decision rests with you.

You need to give yourself permission to trust what you already know.

Do what you need to do to fill yourself up, to nourish and replenish yourself.

When you restore your inner resources, you can access and trust your own wisdom with greater ease.

Take some time today to stop and do whatever you need to feel refreshed and refilled.

Maybe you need to nap, read your favourite book, connect with nature, have a catch up with friends.

Restore yourself, and then spend some time in the peace and silence, as you give yourself the space and time to find the answers to your own questions.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you listen for the answers.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to ask for the answers.

Think of a question or challenge that you're currently facing.

Then write down the question you have, the answer you seek, on top of a piece of paper.

Then allow yourself to answer.

No judgement, no interruptions, just let the words flow as you write the answer to your question. This isn't a time to worry about spelling or grammar, just allow the words to be written freely.

If you're struggling, to further remove your mind from the process, so that you can access your intuition and your inner most knowing, you can respond to the question by writing with your non-dominant hand.

Pause, and take a breath. As you give yourself permission to have the answers.

Today's Affirmation:

"I trust that the answers I seek are within"

Today you're being reminded to let it be easy.

We've often been told that hard work pays off, and that if something's worth having, it's worth working hard, sacrificing, and/or fighting for.

People value hard work and can show someone more respect and think they're more deserving of their rewards and success if they've worked hard for it.

But what if allowing it to be easy was also an option.

How would you feel if allowing it to be easy gave you the same results as working really hard?

What if you allowed yourself to receive, ask for help, step into your own flow and find your own rhythms, rather than ploughing on when you really wanted to rest, or feeling that you need to prove that you deserved it by working hard for it?

How much of your identity and what you value is tied up in the idea of being deserving or working hard and being busy.

Working hard and being busy are definitely not wrong, they deserve to be valued. But have you considered that there could be an alternative too, or at least that there was a time for allowing more ease and not having to reduce yourself to exhaustion and burnout.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you consider alternative ways of doing things.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to notice your thoughts, feelings and judgements towards those people who you consider to work hard and those who appear to make things look easy.

Do you value the things you can do with ease as much as the things you work really hard for?

How do you feel about allowing things to be easy, do you think it's possible or just fantasy thinking?

Pause, and take a breath. As you give yourself permission to consider the possibility of allowing things to be easy.

Today you're being reminded that it isn't all up to you.

When you set an intention, have a goal or create a clear vision for your future, it isn't all up to you to make it become a reality.

Don't become so focussed on the outcome that you forget to allow other experiences to unfold, or let other opportunities pass you by.

Focus with intention.

Align your dreams and desires with the truth of who you are.

Then step back.

You may think you know what's needed, or think you know how to manipulate the outcome with sheer force, but in doing this you may miss the beauty of the full experience.

There's a dance between the doing and being, giving and receiving and action and rest.

One of learning when you need to move forward and when you need to let go.

When to take action and when to receive.

There are also unseen forces in play, creating something more wonderful than you can currently imagine.

Allow the Divine to work her magic.

Stay connected to your truth and ask your body, mind and soul what the next best step on your path is.

Listen deeply.

Listen carefully.

Don't be seduced by quick fixes or superficial wins.

Slow down. Be patient. And show yourself compassion.

There's no race to the finish line as that is rooted in the belief of lack.

Instead choose to enjoy the journey, revel in your growth, and savour your deepening connection with yourself and your purpose.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you focus and let go.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to acknowledge where you have been fixated on a certain outcome or have been trying to force something to happen the way in which you want or that you think is best.

Stop.

Get still.

Focus on the outcome that you desire, and then ask your body, then your mind, and then your soul, what each needs you to do, to make it happen.

Listen closely and follow their directions.

Pause, and take a breath. As you acknowledge what you really need to do.

Today's Affirmation:

"I stay focused and allow things to unfold divinely and perfectly for me"

Today you're being reminded that stopping is also productive.

It's important to give yourself time to take a pause, to rest and relax.

Put everything you're doing to one side.

Put it all down.

Put your feet up.

And just relax.

Focus on your breathing and let your body sink into whatever's beneath it; a chair, a bed, a couch, the grass...

Allow yourself to be held and supported as you take this moment for yourself.

It's in these moments that our energy is able to renew itself.

Your mind resets, you exhale fully, you drop your shoulders and release some of the stress you've been carrying.

It's in these moments of pause that you often gain new insights, fresh ideas and new solutions to existing challenges.

Let your mind wander and the answers you seek are more likely to emerge.

Sometimes the most powerful and productive thing you can do is to stop.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you give yourself permission to rest.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to stop, rest and put your feet up.

Stretch out and allow yourself to sink into what whatever surface you're on.

Focus on your breathing allowing it to become slower and deeper.

Breathing in deeply and exhaling fully.

Let your body become soft and heavy as you fully let go.

Watch the clouds pass by, have a nap, a daydream.

Let yourself rest deeply.

Pause, and take a breath. As you give yourself permission to rest.

Today's Affirmation:

"I value my need for rest"

Today you're being reminded to surrender and let go of control.

Letting go doesn't mean giving up.

Letting go means you're allowing your ancient wisdom, and your deep inner knowing to take over.

You're allowing your soul to guide you and show you the way.

You're surrendering to something bigger than yourself.

When you can surrender and let go, you can release the fears, limiting beliefs and expectations placed on you by yourself or others.

You allow in the magic, and the synchronicities to occur, as your highest self is able to take over and guide you on your way.

It's time for you to step aside, to let go and enjoy the journey.

To be present rather than planning and analysing everything that could go a different way to your plans.

There's a greater force at work that is wiser than you, you only have to look to nature to see this force in action.

You can't control others and you can't control the outcome.

So instead, show up fully, honour who you are, honour your truth and your deepest desires.

Listen to your inner-wisdom, take inspired action and surrender everything else.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you allow yourself to let go of how you think it should be.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to have a look at where in your life you are trying hard to control things.

Perhaps it's in a new project, the creation of a dream, or even in a relationship.

What do you need to let go of so that you can enjoy the moment, rather than focusing on the outcome you think is needed?

Maybe it's time to let go of a belief, or limiting pattern, maybe it's a relationship that's ready to come to an end.

Pause, and take a breath. As you feel into what you need to let go of.

Today's Affirmation:

"I allow things to unfold in their own divine way"

Today you're being reminded to speak from your heart.

Clearly communicate your truth.

Give yourself permission to say what's in your heart.

Stand tall and take up space with your voice.

Your words have power.

Use them to uplift and inspire yourself and others.

There is magic and connection created when you share your truth.

Say what needs to be said.

Allow others to clearly hear what's important to you as you share your hopes, dreams and desires.

Take a stand for yourself and what you believe in.

Speak up confidently, take up space unapologetically.

Ask for what you need.

Don't hold yourself back, silence yourself or think your words don't have value.

You matter, your thoughts matter, your words matter.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you connect with what needs to be said.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to acknowledge what you need to say.

Maybe there are unsaid words that you need to say to someone.

Perhaps you haven't been asking for what you need, or you've been withholding your vision of the future.

It's time to speak your words of truth and communicate clearly.

Share your feelings and express your hopes and dreams.

Pause, and take a breath. As you speak from your heart.

Today you're being asked to let yourself grow.

Some days you need to take action and push forward to complete the things that you've been working on.

Today is not that day.

Today is about stepping out of your own way and allowing yourself to emerge and events to unfold.

Allow yourself the space to grow naturally.

No plans, no force, no expectations.

Give your conscious mind a rest and allow curiosity and play to lead the way.

There is a much older and wiser force that directs things, let it do its work.

You may feel like you're not doing much and in one way you're right.

Yet also you're growing as you assimilate all that you have been dreaming of and working towards.

It's time to enjoy the creative adventure that is life.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you pause and let go.

Today's SHEro Action:

Today's SHEro action is to relax and let things unfold in their own perfect way.

Focus on play and having fun.

Do something different.

Be curious. Be spontaneous.

Allow the expansion of joy, fun and laughter to lead you through your day.

Pause, and take a breath. As you relax and let go of expectations.
