Hi and welcome to the Re-Enchant Your Life reminder.

Your sacred pause in the day where you’re encouraged to take a moment to stop and tune into your inner wisdom and become present, so that you can reconnect to your personal power and confidently embrace who you’re becoming, as you Re-Enchant Your life and create the change you truly desire.

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.

I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,

In the meantime, enjoy letting things be easy on Your SHEro’s Journey!

I have to admit that I still need to consciously recognise the value of the things I can do with ease.

It’s easy for me to hold sacred space for people and groups, it’s easy for me to be creative and bring these ideas into reality, it’s easy for me to spot the patterns, it’s easy for me to trust and find joy in life.

I do it all the time.

But it’s so easy that I forget it’s not always easy for other people. And I can forget that it has benefit when I can show other people how to do it too.

So, as a result I forget to share what I can do with ease with others.

Yet it has value.

Just in the same way I’m a terrible baker. I make terrible cakes, I can make amazing raw-vegan desserts, but I can’t bake, and I’m always in awe of people that can!

Yet when I compliment others on their cakes, they often laugh at me and tell me ‘anyone can do it’.

Well I’m here to remind you that they can’t.

Not everyone can do what you can do.

Not everyone can do what comes to you with ease, whether it’s a natural gift, or a finely tuned skill.

Value what you can do with ease and allow that ease to flow into other areas of your life too.

Hi and welcome to the Re-Enchant Your Life reminder.

Your sacred pause in the day where you’re encouraged to take a moment to stop and tune into your inner wisdom and become present, so that you can reconnect to your personal power and confidently embrace who you’re becoming, as you Re-Enchant Your life and create the change you truly desire.

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.

I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,

In the meantime, enjoy the grace of allowing as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

About 5 years ago I wrote an article called ‘Why I Burnt My Vision Board’, as you can imagine a lot of people didn’t agree with me, but I still stand by it.

In the article I say that although I know to some people burning a vision board will be the ultimate crime against manifestation, here’s the thing…

They can work. Sometimes they’ve worked for me, but some things have continued to elude me, despite my best manifestation efforts.

I can’t tell you how many people I work with who tell me that they have the car, the house, the holiday, the career they thought they wanted, but still feel empty, they still know that there is something more for them.

You see here’s the problem – we’re only human.

When you create a vision board you are telling the universe what you want, you are placing your order. But you can only order from the limited selection that you are aware of.

What if there was something better, something you weren’t even aware of.

Surely if I was living in alignment with The Divine, connecting, listening and trusting my intuition, everything would be taken care of.

If I was open to receive, surely, I opened the way for magic and miracles to occur.

Hi and welcome to the Re-Enchant Your Life reminder.

Your sacred pause in the day where you’re encouraged to take a moment to stop and tune into your inner wisdom and become present, so that you can reconnect to your personal power and confidently embrace who you’re becoming, as you Re-Enchant Your life and create the change you truly desire.

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.

I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,

In the meantime, enjoy slowing down and resting on Your SHEro’s Journey!

There’s no question that we live in a ‘culture of now’.

We want things now and nobody likes to wait; whether that’s for their food, their deliveries or their success.

And often that success is measured more on productivity than on quality of any kind.

And as a result, we can resist rest.

Rest can seem to be unproductive and not getting us anywhere.

Or we tell ourselves that we’re resting when actually we’re distracting ourselves. Distracting ourselves with scrolling though Netflix or social media.

And whilst we might be resting from work, we’re not actually resting in the sense of nourishment and renewal.

We’re not creating the space to feel deeply connected to yourself and the people around you.

And sometimes that’s the very reason we can’t rest, as we’d rather avoid ourselves and the messiness of being human, and we may want to avoid those around us too.

But your body, mind and soul need time to rest, reflect, recharge, recuperate, so that they can restore, create and innovate.

When we rest, we can truly check-in with ourselves, and notice what’s in alignment and what’s not. You get to create a deeper and more meaningful relationship with yourself.

Constantly being on the go, multi-tasking with ever growing to-do lists, really only means that nothing gets our full attention.

So today, give yourself permission to stop.

Your sacred pause in the day where you’re encouraged to take a moment to stop and tune into your inner wisdom and become present, so that you can reconnect to your personal power and confidently embrace who you’re becoming, as you Re-Enchant Your life and create the change you truly desire.

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.

I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,

In the meantime, enjoy surrendering control on Your SHEro’s Journey!

PostScript

Many people believe that to surrender means that you sit back and do nothing. But I don’t believe that’s what surrender means at all.

I think that surrender means to stop fighting and take inspired action.

To stop fighting with yourself, your inner-knowing, and your own wisdom. To stop talking yourself out of things that you know are right for you to do.

It’s to stop fighting with the wisdom of the universe.

To stop fighting so that you can let go and stop resisting and pushing and pulling things in the way you think they should go.

To stop fighting means that you have more energy to actually take inspired action.

To act from a place of being grounded and present, rather than overwhelm and distraction.

Surrender is an act of acceptance.

It’s about trusting yourself and trusting in something bigger than yourself, Goddess, god, the universe… and knowing that everything is taken care of.

I’ll leave you with a Chinese saying that I love, it’s basically summed up as; If you can change it don’t worry. If you can’t change it don’t worry.

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.

To become more confident in speaking from your heart, try doing the SHEro Power pose before you speak.

If you know me, you know I LOVE the power pose, that I’ve loving re-named the SHEro Power Pose.

Amy Cuddy has researched body language and explains how it works in her brilliant TED Talk.

She showed that by doing a power pose before being interviewed made the people in her study much more confident as it changed their chemistry and increased their testosterone, the hormone responsible for making you feel more powerful.

The control group, who had to perform power-less poses, slouching, arms crossed protectively over their bodies and heads lowered, had the opposite response, and the power-less posing participants showed an increase in cortisol levels, the hormone that makes you more reactive to stress.

So next time you need to speak from your heart, before you have the conversation, find somewhere quiet and spend a couple of minutes standing tall, with your hands raised up and out to the sky, or with your hands on your hips, and your feet planted firmly on the floor, further than hip width apart – yes just like She-Ra and Wonder Woman… and feel your confidence soar!

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.

I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,

In the meantime, enjoy growing along Your SHEro’s Journey!

It’s all too easy to slip into the collective thought that doing and achieving is our reason for being. That the more we do and have the more valuable, important and worthy that we are.

It’s just not true.

The doing has to be balanced with the being.

Being allows you to rest, assimilate and create.

Being isn’t actually doing nothing.

When you are still, your body and mind get creative. They can heal and restore you, they can come up with creative solutions, you can actually hear your inspiration and connect with your inspired ideas.

Give yourself permission to stop and be, so that you can allow yourself to grow and let your life unfold as it was divinely planned to do.
