Soul Loveth w/ Shan

Hello Beautiful People...

I must say this one is good good! I had to replay it a couple of times - and I'm sure I'll be led to revisit it again in the future. You know - we hear the word "authenticity" a lot lately, and most view it aestheticaaly or surface - not realize that it encompasses the core of who you are, and the audacity to "show up as you" in the a world that's constantly programming you to conform. Whew... Sit with that for a minute.  

This episode I peel back more layers as I talk about the "Price of Authenticity." It's going to take some work and constant maintenance of facing yourself and honoring the commitments you've made to yourself in order to live healthy, happy and whole.  I hope it resonates with you.

Until next time, 
Blessing

***Soul Search/ Creative Reflection:
~How did you honor the commitments you made to yourself this week?
~In what environments do you find yourself code switching?
~List 3 moral codes that you stand on.  
~When those codes are challenged - what are some examples of how you've stayed true to them?

It's funny how doing the responsible things come off as "boring".   In this day and age - where moving and shaking, being "outside" at every event -living this YOLO life is what's celebrated and deemed sexy and cool.

But we're grown ups here. Having your affairs in order, doing day to day things like watering your plants, praying, meditating - trying a new recipe, paying your bills, not wanting to be "outside" all of the time - and just chilling in the house doing "nothing on purpose" is Sexy and Cool as well.

Stability looks good on you.  

Don't let this world try to tell you different.

Where did the time go? Why is time moving so fast? If only I had enough time... How often do you say these things?  Is time really moving faster or are we preoccupied with so "stuff" that time just passes up by?

Tune in this week as I take about way to slow down time. Is that even possible? Absolutely! We have dominion over time -- you slow it down my doing a mental inventory of what's wasting your time and put systems in place to preserve it.

Until next week,
Blessings

Ok... We've seen the tricks before.  It's election season - I feel the tension and fear mongering being turned up a notch.  Yes, the world has been a chaotic circus for a while now - but some how we've found a new normal way of dealing with shock and unpredictability of it all. 

This week -- let's be mindful of our thoughts and emotions during this political cycle.  Observe, but don't Absorb.  Use wisdom in positioning yourself - yet, don't let the noise dictate your movement and wellbeing.  

Hey Lovelies!

It's been a minute... I haven't forgotten about the pod - but y'all know life be lifin'! We've really been focused on building the wellness program for at risk youth, it's been a year in the making, navigating the environment, working with the government, and still maintaining the salon and daily life needs.

What I've learned since the pandemic is to not get too attached to anything. Be fully present, do the work - yet know when it's time to shift, or move on to the next thing. Time is moving fast.  

In this episode I talk about change and embracing the sometimes uncomfortable thoughts and feeling that come along with it.  I also update you on the happenings with the Soul Loveth Wellness Project.

Thanks for tuning in.

Until next time,
Blessings

Ahhhhh... Life is not about the absence of problems and situations.  Things happen. All of this self care and self love comes into play when we're able to apply God's grace and natural strategies to help us cope through the "stuff."

We already know what to do - we just have to be intentional about the application.

Tune in as we explore more.

Blessings

Happy New Year!! I know, y'all are like "girl, it's February . Hey, needed to take a much needed deep breath after last year, and Ease into 2024 refreshed and renewed! no pressure. How"s your New Year going so far?

Self Love looks different for each individual.  What feeds or soothes someone else's needs may not be the remedy for you.  

  We have to really push to honor our differences. Trying not to dismiss or discredit how you show up in the world because it looks different than someone else.   What works for you?  How do you present your self to the world?  What do you need to focused and balanced?

 This type of awareness is not easy - but its so needed to foster peace of and staying true to yourself .  

In this world of "influence" and conformity - it can become a daily fight to "stay true to you."  What are your true thoughts and ideas? What's your true style and comfort?  What are you filtering your actions through?  

Hey, sometimes its easier to "go along to get along" or follow blue prints that's already established, but for me - I Can Not.  Even if it makes me stand out and often times, stand  alone, I have to honor how God created me.  It's a reason some things make you uncomfortable, make you take pause or simply just get on your nerves.

It's also a reason why certain things make you smile, inspires your creativity and makes you feel at peace.  Through out my life I've learned to pay attention to it all.  Yes, evolving is a beautiful, however honoring and accepting some things about yourself that somehow remains the same no matter how hard you try to "Change It," is priceless...

Stay true to you,
Blessings

Don't look away... We've already become so desensitized to the craziness of the world.  I get it, it's too much.  For my personal self care, I monitor what kind of news I take in.  Pay attention to what's going on "observe but don't absorb."  

Be honest with yourself about what you're seeing and feeling, even if you don't fully understand what going on.  Don't betray your own consciousness by denying the truth "YOU SEE"... What I'm seeing with these political wars are not in alignment with the personality of the God I have a relationship with.  Racism, classism, murder of children, destruction, greed, hate and the list goes on and on...   The fact that some of things are being justified biblically is appalling to me.

Pray for Humanity... We're all sharing this earth space - break the strong hold of "divide and conquer". Sit still and let God speak to and through you.  Through prayer and meditation solutions and action is manifested. 

Blessings,
Shan
