A new years intention, affirmations, Journal Prompt and Meditation with handpan music by Jacob Cole.

I’m so happy to be here! My 1st year of podcasting is coming to an end as a new year will begin.  I love this time of year.  My birthday was a few days ago and it’s so wonderful having a birthday at the end of the year, it closes up a chapter and gives me space to dream of a new one. The same feeling as the new year but that much more with having my birthday attached. 

January is usually a slow month for photography jobs for me, so it gives me time to focus on my coaching business, my hopes, dreams and desires. I hope I can inspire you to do the same.. Slow down a bit the next couple of days or weeks and take time to dream. Get clear on who you are and who you want to be.  

Take a moment to grab your journal and pause this episode as needed…

Going back to the same question as episode 1: 

What does goddess mean to me?  If you don’t resonate with the word goddess, you can replace it with higher self, best self, authentically me. 

How does she feel?  The best dream version of you in 2024…How does she want to feel?

Beautiful. Confident. Successful in many ways. Independant. Loving. Loved. Financially free. Financially abundant. Joyus. Caring. Compassionate. Radiant. Stunning. Sexy. Healthy. Slim. Fit. Strong. Carefree. Flexible. Aligned. Stable and steady. Balanced. Mindful.  On the right path. Creative. Lucky. Magnificent manifestor. Inspiring and inspired. Respected. 

Take your time. Choose your own words, the feelings you desire. Write them down. Doodle them if you’d like. This is a time to let go of judgment and just dream of the next best version of you. It’s who you are, its who you are meant to be. It’s the gifts you have to share with the world while you are here, it’s the woman that is grateful to be alive and living life with intention. <3 It’s the strong belief that you are worthy and you are capable.  Your dreams will come true. Just believe and keep going. 

Now onto today’s meditation…

Take a moment to settle in.. releasing any tension in your neck, back, shoulders and arms, legs, ankles, wrists, fingers and toes.  Unclench your jaw, relax your forehead, close your eyes and take a deep breath in and out. 

I am open to a new year ahead. I’m open to it being everything I dream of.  I will take action steps big and small that will add up over time. 

I am grateful for the year behind me.  I did some great things and over came some fears, anxieties and or hardships.  I believe in myself. I know if I stay consistent my dreams will come true. I am worthy.

I am capable. 

Take a deep breath in and out. 

This year I will practice mindfulness, living in the moment, living with intention. 

This year I will practice gratitude, being grateful for each day I am blessed with and all the moments in between the sunrise and sunset. 

This year I will focus on myself, my health, my happiness, my successes and my relationships.  I see myself being the goddess me I dream of. 

Take a moment to visualize yourself and the feelings you desire.  Try to feel them in detail. If the image is fuzzy its ok, don’t force it– allow yourself to feel some of the words I say and them take a moment to feel some of your own that you just journaled. 

Breath in… breathe out….

See yourself.. Sitting peacefully somewhere.. Somewhere outside, maybe it’s the beach, the forest, a mountain, or creek- maybe its your porch, park, deck or lawn.. Sun hitting your face.  You feel a slight warm breeze.  

Sitting here you know that all is well and all will be well. 

You feel grounded, you feel like you are on your own path of alignment and enlightenment. 

Your dreams are coming true.. All with ease and joy. 

Any obstacles that come up, you work through with grace. 

You are connected to your divine feminine spirit, your higher self, your best self. 

You are radiant, healthy, beautiful.  The positive energy shines from within.  

Episode 27: I am the creator of my own journey. 

Hi this is Cristin and this is episode 27. 

Here in PA fall has finally settled in.  With the crisp air and the leaves falling, I feel like it’s a good time to check in, breathe and remember we are the creators of our lives.  Like the trees losing their leaves, maybe it’s time we let go of what we no longer need as well. Letting go to make room for new vibrant beginnings in 2024. 

Take out your journal and take a few deep breaths in and out…  think on these questions. 

Are there any loose ends I’d like to tie up in 2023?

Am I consciously choosing what I want, and releasing what I don’t want?  

What areas in my life do I feel in alignment?

What am I most grateful for?

What happened this past year that I can celebrate the successes big and small?

What do I want to leave behind in 2023, making room for new opportunities in 2024?

What are some of my dreams for 2024?

Breathe.

Remember we can reboot, restart and redo at any time. If there are areas of struggle, notice them and coach yourself through them. What can you do that’s easy, to help you through? Remember I like to make it 3 goals. 3 things I can do each day to help me feel better or help me to achieve the end goals over time.  3 baby steps we can celebrate at the end of each day. Sometimes when we feel stuck or overwhelmed, we are kinda in a cloud… not intentionally living.  We’re in auto pilot. 

You can find the time, you can find the means, you can achieve what your heart desires.  Just believe and take small actions.  You got this.  You are the creator of your life. Follow your hearts desires and intuition. 

Now onto our meditation… 

Take a moment to settle in.. releasing any tension in your neck, back, shoulders and arms, legs, ankles, wrists, fingers and toes.  Unclench your jaw, relax your forehead, close your eyes and take a deep breath in and out. 

I am the creator of my own destiny. I am the captain of my ship, the writer of my story. 

At any moment I can pause and rewrite my own journey. 

Take a deep breath in and out….

As you relax let any thoughts come and go…

Breathe ease into any areas of your life that you may feel stuck or struggle.  Know that there is a way through, over it, around it. Be open to the universe guiding you. 

Take a deep breath in and out…

See yourself following your heart's desires. Following your intuition, knowing what's best and feels best for you. 

You make time for it with ease. You are able to turn overwhelm into inspired action. You are grateful for all that you have and attract more gratitude like a powerful magnet. 

You are the creator of your own destiny. 

Breathe in and out…

I am a powerful creator. 

I am manifesting all that I desire. 

I believe in myself. 

I take inspired action with ease. 

I can visualize myself exactly where I want to be. 

Think. Believe and receive.

I choose to live a life full of abundance

I choose to live a life full of love and gratitude. 

I am being guided by my higher self. 

See yourself finishing this year with a smile. Knowing that all is well and all will be well. 

See yourself letting go of what no longer serves you, making room for new opportunities next year. 

I am grateful for all that 2023 has brought me and taught me. 

I am grateful for all that I have and all that is coming my way. 

Breathe in and out. 

Take a few moments to feel the feelings of love, joy and gratitude for this past year.  You have done a lot big and small. Notice it, be proud of you.  You are continuing on the right path for you. 

When you’re ready come back into today and remember to bring the feelings of love, joy and gratitude into your day and the rest of your week. 

If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and need some extra support always feel free to reach out to me and book a session using my website CristinPowersLifeCoach.com or email me [email protected]

Thanks so much for joining me today- I’m wishing you a wonderful week. 

Episode: 26- I am practicing gratitude & and gaining clarity.
Hi this is Cristin and this is episode 26. 

If you’ve been following along all these episodes you’re probably in your own groove now.  You’ve been manifesting great things and chugging along using intentions, meditations and mindfulness. 

  I’m personally in this with you, so the phase I’m in right now is taking time to be grateful for all things I have, people I know, and opportunities that have come into my life and the many more that are coming my way.  

It’s the time to once again get clear on what we want more of and what we want less of.  In one of my earlier episodes we talked about towards and away from motivations… I like to use those as my starting point, but now that we have been forging our new path ahead, and creating great things along the way; I like to bring up the idea of using contrast for clarity. 

So for example in my own life, my goal was to manifest more gigs.  Aside from being a coach I’m a professional photographer.  I wrote the goal and took inspired action, and the gigs started flowing my way.  I said yes to them all, but afterwards had some mixed feelings…

So here’s a little process I came up with to help me use gratitude, contrast & clarity. 

So step 1: I practiced gratitude. I am so grateful for all these gigs that have come and are coming my way. 

2. What are my mixed feelings about this?  I took one that was very big / important / high expectations.. And getting honest with myself about it- I do not enjoy that type of gig right now.  I may have in the past, and might in the future, but they are not for today.  That’s my contrast.. So I’ll use that to get clear on what I do want… maybe it’s time to lean into vulnerability and be open to more coaching gigs, whether that’s being a guest on a podcast, maybe teaching in person or taking the steps to be publisher ready. I’m sure the list can go on…

So thinking about that for yourself.. On your path to goddess, your higher self, or your best self.. Notice some areas of feeling of contrast that may arise. Use this as a tool for clarity.  

Take your journal out and see if anything comes up, if not, don’t force it, just try to become more aware. What are things you don’t like, don’t make you feel good, or maybe even put you in a bad mood?  What can the contrast be?  What do you want instead?  What are you open to trying?

After thinking about that write it this way:

Contrast, Gratitude, Clarity

So once again back to me:

Contrast: I really don’t like the weird big gigs. 

Gratitude: I’m so grateful for the universe sending them my way, I’m grateful for the money that they paid and the experience I had. 

Clarity: For now I want to manifest more RE gigs that are quick, easy and pay well and I am open to more success and opportunities with my coaching, meditations, empowerment & mindfulness movement :) 

Now on to today’s meditation: 

I am practicing being grateful. 

I am practicing noticing what feels good and what is not in alignment of who I am and who I want to be. 

I am gaining more clarity about the path I am on and want to take. 

I am allowed to pick the path that feels right for me. 

I am allowed to take the easy way.

I am allowed to take time to be still. 

I am allowed to dream. 

Breathe in and out. 

See yourself in a beautiful meadow. The sun just starting to rise, creating color in the sky.  There’s a slight fog in the air and dew on the grass beneath your feet. 

A path opens up in front of you. Vibrant, green grass beneath your feet and on either side of you… just up a head you see a beautiful field of flowers. 

You can see and smell lavender… 

Breathing in, you you smell the beautiful scent and feel the peace around you…

Hi everyone this is Cristin and this is episode 25.  Today’s intention is I am practicing intentionally living or I am practicing living with intention. 

What does living intentionally mean? For me it’s living with:

Gratitude. Acceptance. Mindfulness. Doing things with intention. Removing stress / stress triggers / anxiety triggers.   Choosing relationships that are up-lifting. Spending intentional time with family and friends.  Knowing it’s ok being ok, looking at more of what’s good and intentionally becoming better. Better at being authentically me, a better mother, a better friend, family member, and just overall positive, nice, successful person. 

Intentionally taking care of me, creating more intentional energy to give to others.  

Today’s session is going to be little heavy on the journaling side, so take your time, pause if you need to. 

Journal: 

What does intentional living mean to me?How do I want to live more intentionally?

How am I living intentionally in the present and how do I see myself living intentionally in the future? 

How can I start living more intentionally today?

Am I taking care of myself?

How can I better take care of myself? 

Are there areas that are OK? 

What areas in my life feel well, or good- how can I create more of that?

What are some areas I'd live to live a little more intentionally?  And how can I do this with ease?

And now on to today’s meditation: 

Breathe. 

Take a moment to settle in, releasing any tension you may feel in your body. Making any movements you need to stretch your back, your neck and shoulders, your legs and hips, your arms, wrists, fingers, ankles and toes. 

Take a deep breath in and out. 

I am practicing living with intention. 

I am practicing intentionally living.

I am doing the best I can each day. Taking inspired action steps that put me on the path of my own alignment. 

I am practicing living with intention, really taking notice of all the moments in each day. 

I am removing things that no longer serve me. 

I am practicing being more grateful each day…

I am grateful for my body, it brings me to all the places each day, week, month and year. 

I am grateful for my ears to hear this. 

I am grateful for my home. 

I am grateful for my friends and family. 

See yourself doing what you do each day with a little more intention, mindfulness and gratitude. 

Drinking your water in the morning.. Being grateful for the fountain of youth and clean water. 

See yourself going to work grateful for having the job and bringing a little more peace and joy to the day. 

If you’re a mother, see yourself being more intentional with your time with your littles ones, enjoying each moment. 

See yourself in your relationships, giving more of what you wish to receive.. Love, acceptance, respect and kindness. 

Take a deep breath in and out…

Take a moment to guide yourself through your normal day to day activities with a little more intention, gratitude, peace, patience and mindfulness. Maybe see yourself waking up each day, taking a moment to be grateful you’re alive. Today is a great day, I’m so grateful to be alive. 

See yourself doing more of what you love.  

See yourself letting go of the things holding you back.

See yourself at the end of the day, in an intentional bedtime routine.  Doing what supports you at the end of the day to relax, be grateful and notice your successes. 

Take a deep breath in and out….

When you are ready, come back into today.   Gently opening your eyes, maybe taking another deep breath in and out… 

Bring the feelings of peace, love, and gratitude with you today in all your day to day activities. Take moments to notice. Being mindful, being grateful. You are here on this amazing planet, let's make the most of each day. 

I’m sending you lots of love this week.

Episode 24: I am open to receiving 

Hi everyone this is Cristin and this is episode 24.  Today’s intention is I am open to receiving. 

Before we dive in, I wanted to touch on a couple of things.  If you are listening in real time, today is Sept 29 and there are 94 days left in the year.  I started off this year with a 90 day course I took with one of my favorite coaches Michael Neil….that course helped me to create this podcast, a book of meditations and soon to be released audible book.  I think it’s only fitting that I close the year out with another 90 day challenge and I’d like for you to join me. 

This is very open ended, I’m not telling you the goal you should have in mind, I’d rather you think on that yourself. This will be self guided, but as always if you do want one one on one coaching I’m here, affordable and a la carte

Now.. 

Take out your journal…  About 90 days away is NYE. What would you love to accomplish by then, are there daily inspired action steps that you can take to make it happen, or maybe they are weekly action steps, it doesn’t matter- it's’ really up to you. 

Journal and think on these statements…

In 90 days I want to………

In 90 days I want to be….

In 90 days I am…..

In 90 days I will have / be……

So when I say the word challenge, I don’t want us to attach the feeling of hard to it.  Think of it as more of a game. A fun challenge.  Just seeing what you can accomplish by just trying. I have 2 helpful components to make our success easy 1. Don’t forget to success journal at night and 2. If you are a visual person, put a gold star on your calendar, each day that you do whatever it is you do for this 90 day event. :) 

Your idea may pop up instantly or If you’re having a hard time thinking of something you want to work on, choose what will feel good over time.  How will you feel at the end of the 90 days after doing what you really wanted to do?  It can be a health or movement challenge, a financial challenge, a de-clutter / cleaning challenge, a start what you’ve been wanting to start for a while challenge, or even a finish what you’ve been putting off.  The possibilities are endless.  Just remember pick what feels good for you, not what you think you should do.  

And now onto our meditation: 

Take your time settling in.. releasing any tension from your body, your neck, and back, your arms and legs, your wrists, ankles, fingers and toes.  Unclench your jaw, relax your forehead, close your eyes and take a deep breath in and out… 

I am open to receiving. 

I open open to all the gifts that are meant for me and that are coming my way

I am open to receiving signs from the universe that I am on the path that’s meant for me

I am open to universal support. 

Breathe

The universe supports me.

My higher self believes in me

I am open to receiving. 

I am open to finding and taking the path of least resistance

I am open to believing that my dreams will come true. 

Visualize yourself taking inspired action to achieve your 90 day dream challenge. 

See yourself smiling. 

Finding ease in the action steps. 

Feel yourself being grateful. 

Whatever it is you dream of doing over the next 90 days, see yourself enjoying doing it.  Be proud of yourself. Enjoy each moment. 

Breathe….

Take a few moments to visualize yourself just doing what you need to do.. See yourself doing it with ease, peace and happiness. There’s no stress, just joy.  Taking the small steps each day and each week to achieve the hopes, goals, dreams and desires you have in mind. 

Breathe…..

Now zoom out to the 90 day mark. It’s NYE…You got it done.  You worked on what you wanted to.  You believed in yourself and you did it.  You are proud, joyful and grateful. 

You had a really wonderful year. You found peace, joy and success all along the way. 

You’re in loving relationships, with friends, family and peers. 

You’re organized, tidy and free of clutter bogging you down.

You’re healthy, fit and flexible. 

.........

I am worthy

Hi everyone, this is Cristin and this is episode 23. Thank you so much for listening, sharing and leaving reviews.  The positive feedback really grows the light inside of me to continue to keep creating this show.

This week's intention is I am worthy. 

I’m not sure why we would would think any other way, why the heck wouldn’t you or I be worthy?   If you do not feel worthy then you may be falling into negative thinking and that’s what stands in the way between you and your hopes, goals and dreams. 

Taking out your journal & going back to basics, what does Goddess mean to you?  Who are you as a goddess version of you?   What do you look like?  What do you feel like?  How are your relationships of all kinds, friends, family, romantically, etc.  What is your relationship with money?  With food?  With yourself?

 You are worthy of everything you dream of, and I’m happy to inform you, it is possible. I promise.  

Now, checking back on your goals…Do you still have 3 goals each week you are working on?

Continue on with this.  Picking 3 goals that are easy, or taking the next step, if you are ready to move up on the stairway to your dreams.  

If you’re new here, I’m referring to episode 20. This goal episode was 2 episodes ago, so those of us working in real time that’s 2 weeks ago, have you created any new habits from these goals?  

I myself now have the new habits of drinking more water, taking my vitamins and walking  3.5 - 4miles each day. So now, I’m ready to check in and create maybe 3 new goals for the upcoming week. 

Are you ready to now create new goals for this week or do you still want to keep what you have been working on?  Think on it. Explore your options.  What can you do next, that’s an easy goal & what do you want to do to continue to do to stay on the path of being the best you.  Now remember, it's progress not perfection.  Perfection is being imperfect, it's the balance, the ying and yang, the ebb and the flow.  So dont be hard on yourself during this process.  Learn from your mistakes, and your challenges. Everything has a message for you. If you feel like you’re really trying and it’s not working, that’s ok.  Try to rethink it, reformulate it, rephrase it, maybe it’s a goal you need to put to the side for a moment, and come back when you are ready.  

Now onto our meditation. 

Take your time to settle in.. releasing any tension in your body.   Making any movements or stretches that you need to release the tension in your neck, your back, your shoulders, your arms and legs, wrists, ankles, fingers and toes. 

Take a deep breath in and out. 

I am worthy. 

I am open to receiving. 

I believe in myself.

I know anything is possible as long as I believe and take the little steps I need to.. One foot in front of the other one thing at a time. 

I am letting go of limiting beliefs. 

I am letting go of habits that no longer serve me. 

See yourself next to a cute little creek in a beautiful fall woods, trees of every color.  Sitting next to the creek, breathing in and out.  Notice the trickle or the water, the coolness that comes from it. Breathing in… and out…..

A leaf gently falling from the forest canopy above you.  Floating down from side to side, into your lap.   Picking up this beautiful fall leaf.. See yourself in it.  See yourself happy, healthy, beautiful. See yourself smiling, confident, radiant.  You're compassionate, empathic, loving and loved.  Your whole being is just surrounded with love coming in and love flowing out.  ...

Episode 22: I am allowing myself to dream
Hi everyone, this is Cristin and this is episode 22.  A couple things I want to mention before jumping in, if you enjoy the music that accompanies my meditations, they are by my extremely talented husband Jacob Cole and can be found on any music streaming service.  Most are from his album titled HOPE.  If you would like a hard copy CD feel free to email me and we can send one your way. 

This episode feels very monumental for me.  A big star along my own personal journey.  I began The Goddess Way in 2015 with pen and paper, written as a 21 day guide for myself, with the dream that maybe someday it would be a book… fast forward to covid and having to stay home, I had the time to type it, lay it out beautifully in an ebook and offer it as group coaching on Facebook modified and revised as a weight loss program for women.  Why it feels monumental, is, my programs always stopped at day 21, now with this podcast I get to continue on.  I’m super excited about this and proud of myself. :) I’m sharing this story as noticing successes are some important to enjoy the journey. 

All that being said, let’s jump into today’s intention: I am allowing myself to dream. 

I may of mentioned this in an earlier episode…

Walt Disney, the most magical dreamer, had a process, he had 2 teams: the dreamers and the critics.. But those 2 teams didn’t brainstorm in the same room.   The dreamers dreamed the dream, and then the critics came next, to see how it could be done. Were there holes in the plan that needed to be fixed?  Apply this to yourself… don’t let your inner self come in and block your dreaming process.   Allow yourself to dream, without knowing how you’ll get there.  

Take out your journal and ssk yourself. Wouldn't it be amazing if??…….

Even though I might not know how to make it possible I would love my life to look like / be like…

If you’re feeling resistance and afraid to dream, or if you are at a place where you feel like you just need your basic needs met, dream that that is possible for you and even more. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, dream of financial freedom, you have more than enough to live and even more to donate. 

If you’re feeling stuck at work, dream of what you wish were possible for you. 

Dream it all, so big, so expansive, it seems ridiculous. 

Let go of that disbelief, you’re dreaming here. No judgment, no critics, no plan. Just dream. 

Personally I dream of retiring my mom, continuing to give my daughter, husband and family a dream life.  I dream of having a really fun rental property, I dream of an amazing book deal coming my way with minimal effort and the perfect publishing relationship.  I dream of helping women like me, I dream of peace, joy, health and financial freedom.  

Journal on this for a few, allowing yourself to dream and when you’re finished let's start our guided meditation. 

Take a moment to settle in making any movements you need to release any tension being stored in your back, your neck, your arms and wrists, your hips , legs, ankles, fingers and toes. 

Close your eyes, relax your forehead, unclench your jaw and take a deep breath in and out. If you are in a seated position, rest your arms on your legs with your palms facing up.  If you laying down, have your arms on the floor, palms up.  We want our palm up, open to receiving. 

I am allowing myself to dream. 

I am letting go of fear and disbelief. 

I’m letting go of my inner critic at this time. 

I am allowing myself to dream.

Breath and out. 

See & feel yourself in a dream like state, feeling so lite, so happy, so carefree.  

See yourself with your arms wide open, open to the universal energy of possibilities. Feel that energy positivity following your way. Allow it into your space, your body, spirit, heart and mind.  

Feel yourself grounded and supported. Feel yourself feeling safe. 

Breathe in love, breathe out love. 

I am allowing myself to dream

I believe in myself

I believe in the possibility...

Episode 21

Hi Everyone this is Cristin and this is episode 21.

Today’s intention is:

I am Goddess.

You deserve all that you want and you are worthy.  You are making it happen in small steps over time.  In the last 21 episodes we have shown up, dreamt, journaled and meditated.  Check in and celebrate your successes big and small.  Showing up and listening is a success.  You are giving yourself a few minutes each day to set an intention and clear your mind. 

Continuing on from last week, creating 3 daily goals- how did it go?  Not asking in a judgmental way, but just take notice, were some goals easier than others? 

Were you able to keep with them each day?  

Was 1 or 2 harder than the rest?  If so, why?  

What can you do this week to make the goals a bit easier?  

Do you want to maybe change one out, or is there a way to rephrase it that you are working towards your end in mind but with easier steps along the way?

If any of the goals felt like too much, put those to the side and continue to work on what is easy and what feels good for you. Remember that there are multiple rods to the end in mind.  Just like driving we can take alternate routes. 

Asking yourself these questions helps you find and achieve the goals that are right for you. You are on your own timeline, no one else's. 

Maybe this week was a breeze and you’re ready to create new goals for this week.

Now, doing a full circle and asking ourselves again like in episode 1- What does goddess mean to me?  What does she look like, feel like?  What are some of her daily habits and rituals?  How does her home look and feel?  How are her friendships and relationships?  What is her path of least resistance, how does she try to keep things easy?

Now on to today’s meditation

Take your time to settle in.. releasing any tension in your body.   Your neck, your back, your shoulders, making any movements you need. 

Take a deep breath in and out.  

I am goddess.  

I have always been and I always will be. 

I am strong, confident, radiant and happy. 

I am healthy, flexible and stable.  

I am loving and I am loved. 

Breathe in and out….

I am compassionate and caring. 

I am mindful and I am grateful. 

I am doing the best I can each day.

Take a deep breath in and out. 

See yourself 3 months from now, continuing to take the calm, easy path of least resistance.  When obstacles arise you take your time to work through them.  

You let go of fear, knowing there’s no such thing as failure, only feed back.  

See yourself learning with ease. 

See yourself slowing down a bit, while continuing to move forward, it’s not a race, it’s a beautiful journey. 

See yourself letting go of habits that no longer serve you, replacing them with ones that do. 

See yourself getting in movement and connecting with nature. 

See yourself sitting and taking time for you. 

Breathe in and out. 

You are amazing. 

I am amazing. 

You are on the path that’s right for you.

I am on the path that’s right for me. 

You are confident, capable and worthy. 

I am confident, capable and worthy.

You learn with ease along the way. 

I learn with ease along the way. 

You are happy, healthy and free.

I am happy, healthy and free. You are successful.

I am successful. 

You are abundant. 

I am abundant. 

You are grateful. I am grateful. 

Breathe in and out. 

Now take your time coming back into today.

Gently bring awareness to your breath, body and space around you. 

Bring the feelings of peace, love and joy into your day. 

Believe in yourself. Give yourself a big hug. You got this. 

Thank you so much for being here today, I’m wishing you a wonderful day.

We’ve been dreaming, manifesting, taking inspired action and being open to mindfulness and The Law of Attraction.  Today we are taking bigger steps, by creating and achieving goals that feel good to you. 

Traditionally goal setting, may seem hard, or no pain no gain, or doing what you think you SHOULD be doing rather than what you want to be doing. I want us to create goals that feel good to ourselves individually;  Knowing that it is possible to create and achieve goals with ease.  

I want us to take a moment to think about and write down some goals, dreams, hopes and desires-  a release or brain dump if you will, of goals you want to achieve, or things you want, or actions you want to take.  Maybe it's a set number in your bank account or scale, or pants size.  Maybe it's the feelings you have been craving, like feelings healthy, organized, financially free, calm, peaceful, or loved.   Maybe it’s the way you want your house to be or a dream house you have in mind. Release all your wants on paper. Big or small.  Maybe it is a promotion, starting a new business or starting a family.  Write them all down…

Then looking at all these hopes, dreams and desires, let’s create some tangible goals around them.

Write down 1-3 general goals you have… with the end in mind. Then write 3 goals you will do daily this week. 

For instance I am working on my self care.  With the end in mind, I want to feel better in my clothes, I want to feel amazing by the holidays and I want to be and feel the healthiest version of myself.  I’ve had a lot of ebb and flow in health and wellness, and that’s ok.  That is life.  But my goal is to get myself back on track. 

This week my goals are to drink more water, take my vitamins and walk 3 miles a day.

Once I get these habits back in place, and part of my routine, I’ll continue to add, create or change my goals each week.  If by next week you are not ready to move forward or change your goals, continue to work on the same 3.  The point is to continue to work on 3 goals until they become a new habit or routine, or something you achieved and checked off your list. 

If you are ready to really transform and want to work on multiple areas, that's’ great. It’s important to keep the goals, to things that feel good and right for you.  You want to make sure they are achievable and if challenges arise, you are excited and prepared to work through them. If you believe you will achieve. 

If on the other hand you are feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Just work on 1 goal each day this week.  It can be as simple as getting up earlier, having a morning or even ritual, or what I feel like is the most beneficial getting mindful movement outside.  Connecting with the earth, taking a walk and breathing. 

Now on to today’s mediation: 

Take a moment to settle in.  Release any tension you may be feeling in your body.  In your neck, your back, your shoulders and arms, your hips, legs, fingers and toes.   Unclench your jaw, relax your forehead and take a deep breath in and out.

I am creating goals that feel good to me.

I am creating goals that will manifest big dreams over time

As I dream about my life, goals come easily to me.  As the days and weeks pass by I have accomplished so many things that I desired and have new healthy habits in place. 

I focus on my self care with ease.  

I am present in my relationships. 

I set boundaries to help me hold the space for my dreams to come true. 

I am achieving my goals with ease

I am becoming healthier

I am becoming more mindful each day, more grateful in each moment. 

I am making more space for my goals, hopes, dreams and desires. 

I am getting clear with my goals. 

I am doing what's right for me. 

I am trying new things or new ways of achieving to feel what’s right for me.  I know its ok to pivot or change my mind. 

Take a moment to visualize what it is you want to manifest, something that feels really right for you. 

If thoughts and ...

I am allowing myself to trust the universe. 

Hi everyone this is Cristin and this is episode 19.

Here’s my own take on this…. I have so many things I want to do and be. Society has put this time stamp on life that makes me feel like I should have achieved all these things already because of my age.. 40.  With social media always a click away, we see into the life of quote unquote influences, which can lead to maybe feelings of inadequacy or jealousy. The truth is… we don’t know what goes on behind the scenes with all these so called influencers, and ultimately you don’t want to be them, you want to be you.   

But also if you look into the lives of others that you may look up to, they may have also started at a later age or phase in life. Just because you are not there yet, does not mean that it will not happen.  Let’s remove the societal time stamp or even personal belief that you should be XYZ by now. You have done so much already, take a moment to celebrate how far you have come and all the great things you have done. 

And for social media, let go of comparing yourself to others, just just live your own authentic life. Focus on what brings you, peace, happiness and health. 

Continue to dream the big dream, take inspired action and trust the universe. 

The universe is here to guide us, trust it will work out better than you could have ever imagined. We can’t sit back though and think it will all magically appear. We have to take those inspired actions big and small. 

Take out your journal, continue to dream, celebrate your successes big and small, and and let some ideas of inspired action flow… 

Now onto today’s meditation: 

Take a moment to settle in, release any tension throughout your body, stretching, breathing and letting go. 

Release any tension in your neck, your back, your shoulders, arms, legs, wrist, ankles, fingers and toes. Close your eyes, unclench your jaw, relax your forehead and take a deep breath in and out. 

I am open to receiving. I am attracting what is meant for me.  I am open to all the gifts and possibilities the universe has for me. 

I am continuously improving and taking inspired action with ease. 

Everything is happening at the right time for me. 

I am on my own path of happiness, health and peace. 

Take a deep breath in and out. 

Life loves me. 

The universe supports my dreams. 

When I take inspired action the universe guides me. 

I believe in myself. 

Everything will work out for me, better that I could ever imagine. 

I am letting go of resistance and putting my trust into the universe. 

Take a moment to visualize yourself peaceful, supported, on your own path.  Feel the feelings of luck, gratitude, peacefulness, & balance. 

Breathe in and out.  I am grateful.

I am taking inspired action with ease. 

I am in the perfect flow of life.  

I am allowing myself to trust the universe

Even if you can’t see the whole picture right now, know that it will all workout for you. Just keep taking one step at a time into the life you dream of, while practicing gratitude each day. 

Take your time coming back to the present moment.  Bring the feelings of love, support and inspiration to your day and week.  Knowing that when you take inspired action this week the universe will support you. 

Take another deep breath in and out. 

Thank you so much for joining me today and every week. With love and gratitude, I’m wishing you a wonderful day.
