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 be more you.

Wherever you are in life, this is your Journey, and it’s individual to you.

Stay focused.

Don’t be distracted by what others are doing.

Stop comparing how your journey looks in relation to others.

Comparison kills the joy of the moment, it stunts your growth and stops you tapping into the magic of life and your own blend of joy and magic

You never really truly know what’s going on with another person, so don’t allow your idea of someone else’s life take anything away from your own experiences.

Someone may appear further along their path, or closer to where you want to be, but they are only there because of their own experiences, just as you must have your own.

You are uniquely suited to your Journey, you are the expert of you, don’t try and squeeze yourself into anything else, especially the idea of being more like someone else, it will just make you uncomfortable.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you focus on your own journey.

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

In the meantime, enjoy your very own SHEro’s Journey!

‘Be more you’, those were the words that I wrote on the front cover of a new journal I started the other day.

I had been wondering about what I ‘do’ in my business, what the thing was that I offer to people, and the words ‘be more you’ just popped to mind.

And I realised that was in fact my biggest wish for anyone that encounters my work.

It’s my hope that when you listen to this podcast, read my articles, use my oracle cards, write in my journals, join my community, that you will in fact embrace more of your truth, that you’ll show up in all of your life being more you, that your relationships with yourself and others become more fulfilling as you be more you.

These three simple words are what motivates me to show up daily and record this podcast for you.

To be more you is my wish for you. And in a world that is constantly telling you how you should behave, how you should look and what you should be doing with your life, I know you need to hear the message ‘be more you’ now more than ever.

So go out in to the world and be more you, express more of you and love more of you.

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 love who you are, and who you’re becoming.

Wanting to be anyone other than yourself disempowers you.

It takes away from the richness of who you are.

It disrespects the truth of who you are.

It’s a waste of your time and energy to want to be anyone other than who you are.

Of course, you can want to grow and change.

To push yourself to see what you’re truly capable of.

But when you wish that you were anyone other than your incredible and very unique self, it is quite simply a waste of the wonder that is you.

There is no one else who can be you.

No-one else with your view of the world.

No-one else who has had your experiences, has your gifts, sense of humour or quirks.

Why would you want to be anyone other than who you are?

You may need to make friends with yourself, to come to peace with some things that you don’t currently like or accept.

But please don’t wish yourself away.

Become more of yourself.

Show up fully.

Let us enjoy and learn about the world from you. Your life and the world will be richer for it.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you remember why you’re so wonderful.

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

In the meantime, enjoy being unapologetically you as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

One of the ways that you can start to really appreciate who you are, is by allowing yourself, or at least start, to recognise all that you do and accomplish.

Most people can tell you the list of things that they haven’t done yet, reel off all the things still outstanding on their to-do list, but what about all of the things that you have done.

How often do you truly recognise everything you do, the good job that you’ve done, the delicious meal you cooked, the clean clothes you’re wearing, the thoughtful and kind gesture made, taking a stand for your boundaries, saying ‘Yes’ to yourself, having hard conversation, getting to work on time, remembering to pick up your children…

The list of things that you actually do goes on and on.

Make a list if you have to, create a done-list, but start to recognise, love and appreciate who you are.

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 you are in fact human, or at least mostly human…

And as a human you do not, under any circumstances have it all together all of the time.

You certainly do not have to have everything together every hour, every minute or every second of the day.

You are not here to be perfect.

What is perfect anyway?

Whose idea of perfect are you trying to live up to?

Who even sets the criteria for perfect?

You’re a human who will inevitably make mistakes.

It’s far more important in how you deal with, comeback from, and overcome any mistake, or perceived mistake, outburst or feelings of overwhelm.

If you need to say sorry, do so with meaning, compassion and an open-heart to learn and do things differently next time.

And yes, sometimes that compassion and open-heartedness will be directed towards yourself.

You are constantly evolving throughout life.

Life is a dance of falling apart and then falling back together again, in one continuously beautiful, and often messy, unending and unfolding process.

Allow yourself to make mistakes, to get messy, to lose your cool. Give yourself time to honour and feel all the feelings. Then come back with greater awareness, feeling stronger, more aligned, and ready to try again.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you let yourself fall apart.

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

In the meantime, enjoy the ever-unfolding path of your SHEro’s Journey!

When I interviewed women about their SHEro’s Journey for a previous podcast that I had, the one thing that every woman had in common was that they all had experienced a process of falling apart before they could rebuild themselves back together again.

Every single one of these women had experienced some form of crisis that demanded that they let go of the pretence of everything being perfect.

Once they let go, many describing themselves as having hit ‘rock bottom’, they could then rebuild their lives in a way that aligned with who they were and what they truly desired.

What each of them also said was they they wished they had asked for help, been more honest with themselves and their families, and let people know that things weren’t working for them sooner, so that they could’ve avoided rock bottom and the inevitable crisis.

Certainly these women grew from these challenges, but their message to the audiences, and a message that I’m passing on to you right now, is that you are human, there’s no such thing as being perfect, so ask for help when you need to, rest when you need to, say ‘No’ more often so that you can make way for the ‘Yes’s’ you really mean.

And remember it’s okay to fall apart, as you are in fact only a human.

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 now is not the time to sit back, to do nothing or passively wait for the outcome that you hope to get.

Now is the time for action.

Now is the time to make new choices.

Maybe it’s even time for a new direction?

Sometimes you can find yourself in a situation that you’d rather not be in, or discover that your previous choices didn’t get you the outcome that you’d hoped for or even expected.

That’s okay.

Right now, in this very moment, you get to make new choices.

Choices that will move you away from your current situation and towards where it is that you do want to be.

Those choices can be small steps or giant leaps. The size of the choice doesn’t matter, it’s the conscious choice for movement that does.

It’s important that you know that it’s you who gets to make the choices that move you towards your desired outcome. Sometimes those choices will be made moment to moment, and others will be longer term, yet they are your choices to make.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you recognise the choices available to you.

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

In the meantime, enjoy making choices that align with your SHEro’s Journey!

One of the biggest life lessons that I ever learnt was that we choose how we feel.

I’ve shared before how once when someone told me that I completely resisted it, telling myself that just couldn’t be true.

And yet two years later, yep it took me that long to accept it, I realised that I did in fact get to choose how I felt about me, life, events, all of it.

I also realised that I got to choose to respond and not react to people or situations.

Or that if I did react in a way that wasn’t useful, I got to choose again, and I could choose to respond differently.

Choice is a powerful thing, and whilst we might not have power to choose everything we want or desire, we do have the power to choose how we respond and feel about it, even if we start with very tiny steps.

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 reconnect with your dreams and desires.

It’s easy for life to take over and routine to become the priority, but for today remind yourself of where it is that you want to be going.

What are your dreams?

What are the feelings and emotions that you want to experience more of, what values do you want front and centre of your life?

Spend some time aligning with your dreams and desires, and then allow yourself to dream bigger.

Journal around your dreams, draw them, collage them, sing them, dance them, share them with trusted friends.

Give your dreams the time and space they deserve so that they can become your reality, rather than something on your to-do list that you might get around to one day… if you’re lucky and have time…

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you reconnect with your dreams.

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

In the meantime, enjoy dreaming your SHEro’s Journey into reality!

The main reason that people tell me that they give up on their dreams and stop pursuing them is that they fear being judged by others, particularly by friends and family. This fear is often based in the fear of being rejected by those they care about.

People can give their power away to other’s who then influence their decisions, instead of considering what they truly want, they instead ask other people ‘what should I do?’, or ‘what do you think about this?’

This then leaves them open to be influenced by other people’s fears, experiences and judgments, not all of which are supportive or even helpful.

Instead of looking to others to believe in you and your dreams, you have to develop that belief in yourself, you have to validate your own feelings and desires and be okay with going your own way and forging your own path.

It may feel uncomfortable at first, but just like any skill, the more you practice, the easier it becomes.

Today you’re being reminded to let go of what you’ve outgrown.

Just because something worked for you in the past, doesn’t mean that it still works for you now.

Just because you’ve always done something, or done it in a certain way, doesn’t mean you have to continue the same way.

Just because your family have always done something, doesn’t mean that you can’t be the one to stop the pattern, or change the tradition, for something more suitable for yourself.

It can be easy to slip through life in a fog of routine, one foot in front of the other, getting through the to-do list and the day.

Hours turn into days, days into weeks, weeks into months and before you know it another year has whooshed past.

How you spend your day, is how you spend your life; make sure that your days count and that they are filled with the people, activities, values and emotions that you actually want to experience.

It’s time to let go of the things that really don’t matter.

To review your choices, habits and routines and make sure that they are supporting you and not holding you back, overwhelming you or draining you.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as pay attention to how you spend your time.

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

In the meantime, enjoy the freedom of walking your SHEro’s Journey without carrying the extra baggage!!

“Does it spark joy?”, this is the question that Mari Kondo asks you to ask the items in your home, as you ruthlessly declutter your home.

And this is a good place to start with your habits and routines.

Whilst you might not be able to only do things that ‘spark joy’, just asking the question allows you to consciously evaluate why you do something, does it still serve you, or is there a better way to do it.

A random example of how I did this in my life was with my car. I loved my car, I dread to think how many hours I drove her, and yes she was a her, her name was Ruby.

She got to an age where she was in and out of the garage for small things, but still I didn’t want to get rid of her.

She’d done over 270,000 (yes you read that right!), and I had done well over half of those miles, and still I didn’t want to let her go.

For years I refused to even test drive other cars.

Until one day, I was pretty much forced to get another car, so I reluctantly did.

I still held on to Ruby, for about a month, in case I didn’t like my new car.

And guess what, of course you know the answer… I have no idea what all my fuss was about as I adore my new car, and yes she is soooo much better in so many ways than my previous car.

Next time I’ve promised myself that I will be much keener to upgrade my car!
