Happy Friday friends! Here’s a round-up of miscellany that’s been inspiring and motivating me lately. I’d love to hear what’s firing you up!
“I call all of my power back to me now. I am whole and complete.”
Danielle LaPorte has an article in which she delves into what she describes as the ongoing practice of ensuring that your personhood is your own, on a deeply resonant energetic level. Especially if you’ve been feeling drained, pulled in different directions, or wanting to connect to your selfhood rather than the expectations and desires of others, this exercise is worth experiencing. Affirm to yourself, and feel the truth and reality of this as you do, “I call all of my power back to me now. I am whole and complete.”
Finding Sacred Truth Through an Uncomfortable Messenger
Simone Grace Seol is an incredible coach – it’s very inspiring to me that she also has ADHD and is extremely aware of and has great unique guidance for neurodiverse creators. She’s partnering with David Bedrick to teach how internalized shame plays into our ability to follow through on implementing our ideas and hopes. This concept literally opened my mind to all the deep-seated messages shame tells me about how I shouldn’t risk being seen, or that I’m not worthy and lesser in so many ways. Bringing this shadow work to the surface is incredibly important to loving and understanding a different angle of our resistances and blocks, so we can find our path out from the grip these deep-rooted messages may be holding on our unconscious selves. (Without adding more shame to the process of becoming aware of our internalized shame!) I think bringing this awareness to light is an incredible first step toward embodying our fuller potential. Learn more on this topic from Simone here and from David here.
“There’s Nothing I Can’t Do When I Put My Mind to It”
Check out this beautiful reel of a dad encouraging his daughter to, very literally, take a leap of faith! I wish the same encouragement for us all – think about what it means to “put your mind to” something – if an endeavor is calling you, trust that it’s for a reason, trust that you have deep within yourself the focus, dedication, ability that’s uniquely yours, and tenacity to leap for and achieve what you wish ❤ And look for those “safety nets” to give you security along the way – whether it’s a trusted loved one who can cheer you on, or even keeping your endeavors close to your heart and mind for now, and connecting with your highest self or a spiritual anchor to help hold and support you in your endeavors.
