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 the answers you seek really are within you.

Of course, it can seem easier to want to look outside of yourself.

To ask others to show you the way or tell you what you should be doing and how you should be doing it.

And as well-meaning or experienced as the people you seek guidance from are, they can only share their advice from their own beliefs, their own experiences and what worked or didn’t work for them.

They walk their own path and you walk yours.

Of course, there will be wisdom that they can share, and insights to support you, but ultimately the only person who knows the action you need to take is you.

You know.

Really hear those words: “You know”.

I promise you, you really do know.

You know what it is you need to do, you may try and avoid it, it may be uncomfortable or challenging to you, perhaps you’d even rather not know… But deep inside, as infuriating as it can be to be told… you really do know.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you listen for your own truth.

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

In the meantime, enjoy answering your own questions as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

A fundamental part of my work is what I call the Sacred Pause.

The Sacred Pause is a practice, because it needs to be practiced for us to get good at it.

It’s a practice that gives you a moment to reconnect with yourself, and I teach a variety of super simple ways to do this.

They have to be simple or people just wouldn’t do it.

And I want you to do it, as this is the best way for you to really reconnect with your truth.

And when you can do this, it is sooooo much easier to get the answers you seek, as you can hear and most importantly trust your intuition and internal nudges.

Often when we’re busy and our energy is scattered, we can’t hear our inner messages, we can’t distinguish our inner wisdom from the noise, expectations and judgements from those people around us.

But when you practice a Sacred Pause, you take a moment to connect, a moment to listen, a moment to hear.

And in this moment, you realise that you do in fact have the answers that you’ve been seeking.

Today you’re being reminded to fuel your optimism.

There is great power in optimism.

Many people can dismiss optimism as being unrealistic or childish. But that’s simply not true.

Within optimism are the seeds of dreams, an opening for there to be another way, a new experience, a different story to live your life by.

Optimism gives room for hope, and with hope comes the opportunity for change.

Optimism doesn’t mean that you ignore what’s going on around you, but it allows you to look at life through a different lens. A lens that helps you to find a new way to navigate life and the obstacles that you may find yourself facing.

Optimism is giving yourself a chance for a fresh start, a new beginning and a different way of being.

Embrace optimism.

Fuel your optimism.

Allow your optimism to grow and expand.

As with expansive energy you may find that it lifts you out of your current situation so that you can see a new path forward, new opportunities and a new way of being.

You may still face challenges, but now you have a fresh perspective and hope on your side.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you give optimism a chance.

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

In the meantime, enjoy walking your SHEro’s Journey with a heart full of optimism!

I am ridiculously optimistic.

So much so that I have even jokingly apologised to clients for being able to see the good that has come from an uncomfortable situation.

I know this can be annoying, especially if someone is invested in their current situation.

However, I am certainly not an ‘everything happens for a reason’ person.

Some things are too horrific to be able to see the ‘good’ in the situation, but I can always see the way through.

I think there’s a huge difference in being optimistic and open for opportunities to change, rather than glossing over with an ‘everything happens for a reason’, to me that’s not optimistic that bypassing the discomfort of a situation.

And I think that’s why optimism can sometimes get a bad wrap for being naïve. True optimism isn’t naïve, it’s just leaving space for new opportunities, possibility and change to come your way.

Today you’re being reminded that when you shift your perspective you can create different results.

Life can be full of challenges, things that are unjust or simply not fair.

But when you can look for the lessons, the gifts, the resilience that you have found within yourself, everything can change.

This isn’t about pretending that things are great when they’re not, it’s not about sugar coating tragedy or pain, but when you’re ready, it’s about looking for the deeper lessons, even if only so you don’t repeat them again.

When you can shift your perspective, your thoughts, your self-talk, your instant response to situations, you can consciously choose how you want to feel and behave in, or towards, the situation.

It may not change the situation, it may still be challenging, unjust and unfair, but it will change how you respond to it and how you’re affected by it.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you get ready to create new results.

In a world that wants you to be ‘high-vibe’, you can feel guilty or wrong for feeling anything other than great.

But the reality is that as humans we feel the full range of emotions.

Sugar coating, ignoring a situation or trying to convince yourself that everything happens for a reason is no good to you or anyone else.

Accepting a situation for how it is and not fighting it when it’s not how you want it to be is completely different.

When you can accept that something is a certain way, you can then choose to respond to it in a different way.

And from that place of acceptance, you may well find the gold of the situation, time may bring the clarity you desire, and sometimes some things just never make sense.

But trying to force yourself to find the best in a situation, when you’re not ready and haven’t accepted or expressed your feelings is nothing short of toxic.

For me, when I work to choose acceptance over proving that something is ‘wrong’, even if it was or is unjust, helps me to change how I feel about myself and the situation, and then it’s easier for me take more productive action to resolving it.

Today you’re being reminded to breathe.

Often when you’re anxious or stressed the first thing that you do is breathe less. Your breathing becomes shallower and everything else seems to quicken.

We take our breathing for granted, and don’t pay it much attention.

But by taking a moment to pause, to become aware and to consciously deepen your breath, creates space so you can feel calmer, more in control and less overwhelmed.

In this space of calm, sink deeply into your own being, root into yourself.

Remind yourself of your courage, your tenacity, your strength and your ability to overcome everything that has come before this moment.

The storm will pass.

Challenges will be overcome.

You may feel battered and tattered, but you are still here.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you sink deep into your own being.

I have a tendency to work on lots of projects.

I then put time pressures on myself to complete these projects.

I love bringing projects to life, one time I counted, and I was working on different 16 projects, that’s a lot, even for me!

Most of the time I love the variety and the opportunity of working with different people. But every so often, overwhelm hits me and I wonder what I need to next, or how to manage my priorities.

When I get like this, I get too in my own head and feel like I can’t think clearly, to which a friend of mine just says the word ‘breathe’.

Just that one word is enough to make me remember to breathe.

To sink back into my body, to slow down and breathe.

That one moment of pause is enough to bring me back into my body and become present.

And from there I can step out of overwhelm and back into the joy of creation, to accept the messiness of creation and know that everything always works itself out.

All I need to do is remember to breathe.

Today you’re being reminded that it is more than okay for you to feel and experience your feelings, all of your feelings.

They may overwhelm you, they make other people feel uncomfortable, but they are your feelings to feel and you are allowed to feel them, no matter how big they are.

Allow yourself to feel your feelings and let go of any story or belief that you have about experiencing them.

No feeling is wrong or bad.

Some are more fun to experience, and others may be more uncomfortable for you.

Feelings allow you to process what’s going on in your life.

They are signposts that show you what’s working and what’s not.

They allow you to release, they indicate to you that things may need to change.

You are not wrong, weak, shallow or high-maintenance for having feelings.

Having feelings just reminds you that you are in fact a human.

Use your feelings as a guide to show you what you need more of and what needs to change.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as give yourself permission to feel your feelings.

Being able to express emotions is a crucial skill for everyone, it creates healthy people, relationships and connections.

It’s often assumed that women are better at expressing their emotions, but it’s not because they are, it’s because they have permission to express some emotions in public, and by ‘some’ I mean a few more than men.

But this expression is only acceptable, as long as they’re not emotions that cause others to feel too uncomfortable.

Love and sympathy are acceptable.

But despair, rage or panic not so much so.

These stronger emotions expressed by women are more likely to be met with a ‘calm down’ or dismissed as ‘that time of the month’.

You don’t need anyone to validate how you feel, or give you permission to feel your feelings.

Honour how you feel, even if you’re not really sure how you feel or if it’s uncomfortable for you.

Never judge yourself for having a feeling, telling yourself you ‘shouldn’t’ feel a particular way is not helpful at all.

Witness your feelings and express them in a way that feels good to you.

Learn the messages from your emotions, they can help you to avoid danger, they can move you to take action, they can  support you to make decisions in your life, and they can help you to connect with and understand other people on a deeper level.

Emotions really are your superpowers, it’s time to listen to them and stop suppressing them.

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 curious.

To be less ‘I shouldn’t’, ‘that’s not me’, or ‘what would others think’, and more ‘Let’s see what happens’.

Be bold.

Take a risk.

Life has taught you that there are no guarantees in life.

Things you thought were certainties fail or let you down.

Things you didn’t think much of, show up when you need them and surprise you.

You are old enough and wise enough, or if you’re not ready to own your wisdom, you have at least lived enough, to be surprised by how life can change when you least expect it.

So, try those things you’ve always wanted to do.

Dress in a way that lights you up, visit those places that you’ve always dreamed of, reach out to people that you’ve admired from afar, make those changes that you’ve been daydreaming about.

Be less ‘what if it goes wrong’, and more ‘let’s see what happens’.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as consider how things could actually go better than you could imagine.

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

I’ve never been very good at long-term plans.

I’ve certainly never had a 5-year plan, barely a one-year plan.

I start with plans, but very quickly I end up somewhere different.

It might not be what I originally planned, but it’s always more perfect and unexpected than I could’ve imagined.

Sometimes things don’t initially make sense, but as a wise friend once said to me: “time brings clarity”. And it always does.

It helps when I remain curious, and it helps that I love to be curious.

Curious about where I’m heading, and what opportunities and adventures are around the corner.

Curious about how something that I didn’t really want to happen, or expect to happen, can move me closer to something more magical.

Curious about everything really.

Not everything needs to make sense, sometimes it’s better to trust, let go and remain curious, and see what magic comes your way.
