Here’s the scoop: life is what you are going to make it. It may have taken me seventy years to learn that but now I want to give you a crash course.
What you think, how you feel and the choices you make are either going to create a shit show or something that is truly blissful.
I’m all for bliss. Every day, I get up with the intention to have a really good day - and 99% of the time I do.
There are few exceptions, only those related to the freakin' frigid weather since my body no longer tolerates below freezing. Even the sound of that makes me shiver. Most days in the winter I go out looking like a seven-layer cake. I have so many layers under layers that if I met a hottie it would take him a week to get my clothes off. (Wishful thinking )What I’m trying to tell you is that I have no complaints about anything other than feeling like I have an icicle in my pants.
So, how did I get so blissful? With rituals and spiritual practices that feed my soul, stimulate my consciousness and enhance my physicality.
Below are my top rituals and spiritual practices to empower you.
1. Mindset
Every morning - first thing - check your mindset. Do you feel off? If so, start asking yourself why. Sit with it, see what comes up. Take a few extra minutes to see what’s going on in your head.
Once you feel more settled, try setting an intention to create an amazing day. Flip your mindset to something positive, intend to feel more empowered and watch how differently your day unfolds.
2. Inspirational Reading
A biggy for me the past several months is my new reading practice. I select books that teach me how to be a better, stronger and more evolved woman. I almost never watch TV anymore. The shows I liked seem to have lost their sizzle. Of course, until Game of Thrones comes back on in April. My fave reads are spiritual in nature, each one opening me up to a new practice.
A powerful suggestion for you is Matt Kahn’s new book, Everything is Here to Help You.
This will stimulate some serious self-reflection and journaling exercises. Honestly, that’s where all the transformation starts.
3. Essential Oils
The past few months, I've learned about crystals, angels, numerology and essential oils - and I’m hooked. I want to know more. This stuff is crazy good for women and improving our day to day lives - especially essential oils. I’ll be sharing more over the next few months. I diffuse daily while I’m at home working and do a little anointing with my doTerra “InTune “roll on. I use Breathe when I have the sniffles and Frankincense before my mediation practice.
Try putting a little oil on that sacred temple of yours put as few drops in your bath water.
If you're interested in Essential Oils, there is no one better than my girl Katy Shem.
