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 go of control and let things unfold.

Letting go isn’t always easy, yet one of the essential cycles of life is to be able to stop forcing or exerting pressure.

The pause is as important as taking action.

You need both in your life.

Right now is a reminder for you to stop fighting the challenges and obstacles that you found yourself up against, and instead allow yourself to flow around them.

Just as water will always find its way to the river, you too will always find yourself in the place that you’re meant to be.

Sometimes the water crashes into the river, leaving a trail of destruction behind it, and sometimes it just does its thing and gently allows itself to be guided by the forces of nature and gravity.

Both end up where they’re supposed to be.

When you’re in the state of flow you aren’t pushing upstream against the river, or demanding it go faster as both of those seem pointless and a waste of effort.

In fact, if you saw someone doing that, you may find it almost funny… yet that’s how we can find ourselves living our lives.

What if just for today you gave up control, surrendered to the natural rhythms and currents you find yourself in, and focused on enjoying the ride?

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you allow yourself to let go of control.

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 letting go of control!

Even though I really do understand and have experienced the magic of letting go and letting things unfold, I still forget and need reminding.

Just the other day I was trying to work something out in my business.

I was re-structuring part of it and although it was almost complete, I couldn’t get the final piece to work.

I talked it through with trusted people, I journaled around it, I wrote out and re-wrote the systems and flow.

I knew I wasn’t actually getting anywhere, but I kept forcing myself to try harder to work it out, especially as it felt so close.

Then I gave up. I stopped trying.

I spent the next couple of days just relaxing with friends and family.

Then unexpectedly, after putting my little boy to bed, I had an idea and went to my office to make a note of it, two hours later everything that I had been trying to work out, was all laid our perfectly in front of me.

Giving myself the time, taking off the pressure, and allowing things to flow in their own time, let the missing pieces find me.

Today you are being reminded to be discerning.

Pay attention to what’s good for you and what is not. People, places and things.

Trust your intuition.

Not everything is as it seems.

It’s okay to walk away from things that make you feel uneasy, even when there’s no logical sense.

Give yourself permission to leave people, places or situations that make you feel threatened, uncomfortable, or that move you away from your purpose and feelings of being centred and grounded.

Use your discernment to understand the difference between moving out of your comfort zone and pushing yourself to do hard things, and situations that may cause you harm, physical or emotional.

Strengthen your ability of discernment and assessment of situations and people.

Strengthen your intuition.

Listen to the signals from your body, they’ve been honing their skills to keep us alive since the beginning of our species.

Trust in yourself, and trust the messages from your body.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you connect with your wisdom from within.

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

In the meantime, enjoy strengthening your relationship with your intuition!

I think today more than ever we need to hone our skills of discernment.

To explore how something makes us feel, to notice if something aligns with our values and our experience of the world and be open to learning new things.

I believe it’s a time to question all that we’re told and make informed choices, rather than blindly believe all the information that comes our way, no matter it’s source.

Be curious, explore the sources of information, be open to change your mind, but also be ready to back yourself.

Using your discernment in a world that’s so fast paced and clever with its messaging can take more time, but it’s worth it.

I love to explore views that I don’t hold or haven’t been exposed to. I do this through reading and listening, exploring topics on a wide variety of subjects and from a wide variety of sources.

You can’t possibly be an expert in everything, but you can be an expert on yourself.

Get to know yourself so well that you know when to trust yourself and take a stand for something, and when you know you need more information to make an informed choice about something.

Today you’re being reminded to pay attention to the small things in your life.

The things that you usually fail to notice or take for granted.

The way the light streams in a room, the tiny bud of a tree, the delicate fragrance of a flower, the sincere smile from a stranger, a small act of kindness, a compassionate thought, a gentle embrace, a listening ear, a tender touch, a loving whisper.

Then take a moment to notice all the small things that you do.

The routine things, the things you take for granted, the things you pay so little attention to that you barely notice them at all.

Perhaps you do them so often you do them in a meditative state, requiring very little of your awareness, maybe you’re too busy thinking about the next thing to do.

Acknowledge the things you do out of love and kindness, even when you’d rather not, or have other things you’d rather do.

The more you become aware of and pay attention to all of these small actions, the small acts of thoughtfulness, and the everyday achievements and accomplishments, they will grow and fill you with a greater sense of love and admiration for yourself and the world around you.

When you begin to recognise the small acts of wonder, and recognise more of what you do, you will have greater feelings of joy and fulfilment.

Celebrate them and recognise you.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you allow yourself to recognise all of the small things that bring you joy and fulfilment.

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

In the meantime, enjoy celebrating the small things!

In my groups, on a Sunday, I do a practice that encourages them to recognise all that they do and achieve.

Often, we can get to the end of the week and only notice the things that remain ‘outstanding’ on our to-do list.

We quickly forget all of the things that we’ve done.

The everyday things such as getting groceries, cleaning your home, getting to work or school on time, feeding yourself and maybe a family, paying the bills, putting the rubbish out, resting, sleeping, reading your favourite book, listening to your favourite podcast… I’m sure your list goes on and on.

These things all take your time and energy.

You can forget about them, as they’re part of your routine, but you still do the daily things, recognise that you do.

When you can recognise all that you do, and not just the ‘big’ things, you get a better appreciation of yourself and feel more fulfilled, as you focus less on the to-do list and more on your done-list.

Today you’re being reminded to play.

When was the last time that you let your imagination run wild?

That you suspended disbelief and allowed yourself to believe in the seemingly impossible?

The last time that you laughed and played with wild abandon?

When was the last time that you let yourself go completely and lost yourself in the sheer delight of the moment?

To play isn’t childish, it’s child-like.

There’s a lot we can learn from approaching life, challenges and tasks with the innocence, curiosity and wonder of a child.

But there’s also great value in just playing for the fun of it.

Allow yourself to play.

Embrace every opportunity you have to play. To step out of the familiar routines and bring some light-hearted joy, laughter and wonder to your day

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you remember what it’s like to play.

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

In the meantime, enjoy having fun as you play!

Whenever I do quizzes to find out my traditional archetype I always come out as the alchemist, closely followed by the Innocent.

This shows up very clearly in my life.

I love deep.

Deep work, deep feelings, deep conversations.

I love to dive deep into the places within us that most people avoid. I love to transform and find patterns in why things happen; this is the energy of the Alchemist.

However, I also love to play.

I see the possibility in everything, and can more often than not find the good in any situation. I love to keep things light and moving along. This is the energy of my Innocent.

The bonus of these two archetypes for me is that I can do the deep work and still make it light and playful.

Sometimes I can feel my Alchemist wanting to be more serious, this is serious work it should be solemn.

To which my Innocence just laughs and skips on by.

For may years when I meet a new client, I explain to them that when they work with me I will either make them laugh or cry, and often it’s both. But we will make huge shifts, lightly and smiling together.

There is always room for more play, even when life gets deep.

Today you’re being reminded to honour yourself.

It’s time to pay less attention to what other people think of you and your choices, and care more about what you think of yourself.

It’s almost inevitable that at some point you’ll meet someone who will trigger feelings within you that you’d rather not have, and they may even leave you questioning your enough-ness for example are you good enough, successful enough, thin enough, intelligent enough.

But don’t allow yourself to buy into other people’s perceptions of you or your beliefs.

They are judging you through their eyes, their experiences, their values and their wounds.

They are not yours to carry too.

They have their own stuff. Their own limiting beliefs, their own unresolved experiences.

Don’t allow their baggage to engage with how you see yourself.

You have nothing to prove to them, so don’t try.

Power games start when you think you have to prove that your thoughts, opinions and views are more valid than someone else’s, whilst they try to do the same.

When in fact what you’ve done is think that they have the power to define who you are.

You are asking them ‘Am I enough?’, ‘Are my thoughts and feelings enough?’, and they are responding ‘No’.

They don’t get to define you.

You do.

Instead of engaging in this, drop the power play, and focus on building up your own belief in yourself.

Remind yourself of who you are.

And then let you be you, and let them be them.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you remember what’s really important to you.

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

In the meantime, enjoy valuing yourself!

PostScript

People want to be seen, heard and able to express themselves fully. We want to feel validated, we want people to see us, hear us and for them to understand our choices.

The people we usually look to for this validation, are those closest to us, our friends, family and people we love. Yet the truth is, we don’t often get it from them.

People who can’t validate themselves, who haven’t done the internal work to truly validate themselves, to own their worth and value, can not validate other people.

When people live life based on their fears and limitations, they can not truly witness and support a person to freely express themselves, because they are not free themselves.

You do not need any validation to be you, you just need to give yourself permission.

As you walk your own SHEro’s Journey, and walk a path that others may not understand, know that the only person you need validation from is you.

Today you’re being reminded to connect with your true self.

The self that resides within you.

The one where anything is possible.

The one that isn’t limited by beliefs, expectations or past experiences.

Within you resides your true self, the self that is unbound, and has infinite potential.

The truth of your wholeness is ever expanding, creative, powerful, wise and sacred.

You have the ability to receive inspiration and create all things from this space.

Thoughts of not being worthy, not being good enough, being too much of something, and not enough or something else, are just distractions from the magnificence of who you really are.

It’s easy to lose touch with your true essence.

We live in a world that can seem to want to put us down and keep us in check, rather than lift us up.

A world that can sometimes appear quick to judge us by our achievements, or lack of them, rather than our compassion and ability to give.

Certificates, busyness and statistics, valued over love, friendship and kindness.

You don’t need anyone to validate your worth, your worth is inherent.

Your value is deeper than you can see.

You just need to sink into that place within, to remind yourself of who you really are.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you surrender into the beauty of your truth.

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

In the meantime, enjoy experiencing the truth of who you are!

Many people come to me because they feel lost and confused, they want to be authentic, to be true to themselves.

They want me to tell them what they have to do to find themselves again.

And from my own experience, it’s less about doing something and becoming something, and more about being, and un-becoming everything you thought you should be.

It’s more of a messy unravelling, a letting go of judgments, should’s, obligations, expectations and the stories we tell ourselves.

Sometimes I wish there was something to do, a mountain to climb, or a thesis to write, because in a world that values doing and achieving, people would get stuck into the task and feel like they were accomplishing something others would see value in.

Yet when the answer is to stop, and unlearn all that you’ve been taught, to break free from limiting beliefs, it can appear much harder.

It’s time to stop looking for validation outside of yourself, and external approval.

Everything changed for me, when instead of looking outside of myself for someone to tell me who I was, I simply gave myself permission to be me.
