Speak Up

Speak Up

Listen. Because listening’s important:

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 asked to gather your courage and speak up.

Tap deep into your inner resilience, to take up space and make a stand for what you believe.

Now is a time to take action.

To speak up.

To make that change.

This isn’t the time to be timid or to hold back.

Lean in with courage.

Feel your strength and wisdom in your blood and bones.

Even if it feels uncomfortable, persist.

Change brings growth, and as you break out of the old ways of doing things, you may feel afraid. Change isn’t often easy, but keep going anyway.

You are needed in the world.

Your voice, courage, and gifts need to be expressed.

If you fall, get back up again.

If you get tired, rest.

But keep going.

Now is not the time to give up permanently.

Don’t limit yourself with judgements, expectations or your own stories.

Break through any limiting beliefs, realise that the fears of others are not yours to carry.

Go beyond your known boundaries.

Stretch the limits of what you feel is possible for you.

Live with passion and courage.

Take up space in the world.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as feel your confidence grow.

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to think of an area of your life where you have been playing it small, settling for someone else’s idea of life, or not taking a stand for your own beliefs.

Think about what and/or who has been holding you back.

Then allow yourself to dream about how your most courageous and bold version of yourself, your SHEro-self, would live out this situation.

How would they act and behave?

What would they say?

Then think about how you can bring more of this part of yourself, into this current situation.

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to be seen and heard.

Today’s Affirmation:

“I confidently take up space in the world”

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

In the meantime, enjoy speaking up!

So many times in my life I’ve been grateful that I didn’t give up, silence myself or chose the path that at the time felt easier.

In my mid-twenties I decided to close down my kinesiology practice.

I worked from a very reputable and established clinic, I was booked up months in advance and had people travel from around the country to come and see me.

I never had to advertise, all of my work was word of mouth.

And yet, in my mid- twenties I wanted to be out partying and not worrying about getting up early the next day to a full calendar of clients and being at my peak energy.

Looking back, I suppose I was verging on burn-out.

It felt easier to just quit, rather than look at what I actually needed.

So I did.

I quit.

I closed down my practice, ensured all my clients had either completed their work with me or were introduced to another kinesiologist.

However… two weeks later I was seeing clients again.

I can’t not work with people, it’s who I am.

I just needed a break, a holiday.

So I started my own clinic closer to home, changed the way that I worked and got the support I needed.

In many ways it would’ve been easier not running my own business, not working about how everything fitted together.

But working with people who want change is what I do best, helping them re-connect to their passion and purpose, so I leaned in and worked out how to make it all work to ensure my clients got me at my best, and that I got me at my best too.

Be In Your body

Be In Your body

Listen. Because listening’s important:

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 of the importance of taking up space in your own body and being present within yourself.

You are a receptive being.

Every interaction you have with another allows you to receive part of them, more so when you have a physical or intimate relationship with them.

This is a beautiful thing, a way to connect deeply with another.

But it can become toxic if you are not fully in, and present within your own body and energy.

When you’re not fully present, you have the space to store the energy of other people, and you can store this within your own body and energetic field.

Pain, trauma, unwanted attention, and shame are just a few of the reasons that can cause you to disconnect from yourself physically.

These experiences can lead to it becoming too painful or overwhelming to be present in your body.

Being disconnected from yourself turns the beauty of receiving another into an experience where you can energetically keep them in your system for much longer than is appropriate.

When you’re fully present in your own body and your own energy system, when you take up all of your own space, there is no room for the unwanted or inappropriate energy of others.

There is no space for their energy, hurt or unwanted opinions or attention.

They can no longer influence you, drain you or stay within you.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you return to your body.

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to sink deep down into your own body.

Feel yourself become present as you fill up all of your body and your energetic system with your own essence.

Most importantly, come back to your energetic womb space.

Place your hand over this energetic wombspace and sink deep into this area.

Imagine a dark stone sinking gently through water, and feel this sinking down through your body, until it lands deep within this energetic space.

Keep coming back to this feeling throughout the day.

Pause, and take a breath. As you connect deeply to your energetic wombspace.

Today’s Affirmation:

“It is safe for me to be in my own body”

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

In the meantime, enjoy being present within your own body!

Of course, saying to be present in your body can sound a funny thing to say, because where else can you be?

You can’t exist without your physical body being here right now, and it has no interest being anywhere else.

Yet, your mind can try and be everywhere else, distracting itself from this very moment.

To get your body and mind to synced up, so that you can be present with yourself, present with other people and tasks you’re working on, I like to ask myself one of two really powerful, yet simple questions.

I just ask myself:

“Where am I right now?” or

“Am I here?”

The more you ask yourself this, the more present you begin to become, as you notice how distracted you might’ve become.

Be curious about this process.

Why are you off at other places other than here right now?

Are you too busy, overwhelmed, anxious, avoiding something or excited about something that’s coming up?

Use the presence of your body to anchor the rest of you into this moment.

Being present within yourself is important so that you can show up fully present, connected and aligned with your truth.

In my experience this is the easiest way for me to stay true to myself and less affected by the energy, opinions, expectations and judgements of others. I hope you’ll try it for yourself 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 inspiration is everywhere and can be found all around you.

If you’re after some inspiration or insight about a particular issue or question you have, ask the question and then pay attention.

Inspiration doesn’t always come in sacred places or sacred spaces, it can strike at any moment, you just have to be paying attention.

Many people think that the best inspiration comes in a sacred space, in a ritual, or only when they set very clear intentions.

But this isn’t the case.

Intuition is most available to up when we’re relaxed, curious and open.

Ask the question and then hold the space to receive the answer.

Pay attention to what you hear – maybe you’ll hear repeating lyrics in a song, or overhear part of a conversation.

Notice what you feel – perhaps you will feel called to take action, reach out to a particular person, or visit a certain location.

Look around you with curiosity – are there symbolic signs that you’re seeing? These could be literal signs, or perhaps a bird lands on your windowsill, you see a quote that speaks to you, or something catches your eye and you know it was meant for you.

Often the best inspiration comes when we let go.

When we allow ourselves to stop searching for the answers they often just appear, which is why inspiration can so often come when you’re in the shower or enjoying yourself on holiday.

Pause, and take a breath. As you open yourself up to be inspired.

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to be open to receive inspiration.

Write down a question that you have. Write it down so that you’ve clarity of thought and deed, and then put it somewhere safe.

Then throughout the day pay attention to what you notice or what you feel inspired by.

Perhaps you’ll hear, see or feel a message loud and clear, or perhaps it will be a series of little nudges throughout the day.

However they come, make a note of them and see what the overall message has been at the end of the day.

As you do this, pay attention to which of your senses you found easiest to connect with, and maybe there was a time of day or situation when you were more receptive.

Pause, and take a breath. As you pay attention to your intuition

Today’s Affirmation:

“I trust my intuition”

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

In the meantime, enjoy trusting your intuition and being inspired on Your SHEro’s Journey!

One day I had an overwhelming urge to visit my local waterfall. It was raining so I um-ed and ah-ed about it, as I’m not a huge fan of walking in the rain… but the call was so strong that I headed out anyway.

As I walked into the waterfall, the Call to visit the waterfall had been so strong that I actually expected the skies to part and some kind of angelic messenger to appear.

But nothing.

No parting of the clouds.

No angelic messenger.

Not even a download.

No inspiration, no insight.

Although confused as to why the Call had been so strong and insistent, it didn’t matter as I’d had a lovely walk and felt refreshed and energised in myself, and I thought that was enough.

However, about an hour later, when I was back home, when suddenly all the inspiration I’d expected came flooding in.

Reams of it!

It didn’t matter where I received the inspiration, maybe parting clouds by the waterfall would’ve been more poetic, but back home with notepads, pens, my computer and warm, dry surroundings was much more practical.

Slow Down

Slow Down

Listen. Because listening’s important:

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 is a reminder to slow down, take a deep breath and come back to your centre, back home to yourself.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the busyness of doing, of expending energy and being on the go, that it can seem uncomfortable to stop and receive in return.

Focus, determination, achieving and proving can become a habit.

Always pushing forward, can leave you using your energy faster than you can replenish your reserves.

It’s time to stop.

To call your energy back to you.

To allow yourself to receive.

To come back home to yourself and fill yourself up.

Restore, nourish and love yourself.

Allow yourself to be restored, nourished, replenished and loved.

Revel in it. Delight in it. Enjoy all of it.

Then from this place of deep centred nourishment, let your passions overflow and create what you desire from a place of embodied fulfilment rather than exhausted emptiness.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you come back to yourself.

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to step away from it all and spend time with yourself.

Stop doing and achieving, and spend time being and receiving.

Allow yourself to be filled up.

No guilt, no shame, no judgement.

Acknowledge that you have needs, and a need to rest and then receive it.

Fill yourself up and honour the importance of taking time for yourself.

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to stop.

Today’s Affirmation:

“I prioritise nourishing myself”

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

In the meantime, enjoy nourishing yourself!

 

PostScript

As I remind you to slow down, know that I’m telling myself too.

I have to consciously slow down as my natural energy is to create, move forward and take action.

It’s easy for me to lose myself in a project I’m working on and burn the candle at both ends. Enthusiasm and joy fuel me to keep going.

And yet I know that when I stop and pause, that’s when the real magic happens.

Synchronicities occur and moments of incredible clarity result whenever I slow down.

It’s easy to chase the high of achieving, but you can achieve even more when we give ourselves time to rest.

Chose to slow down and rest and let the magic of life catch you up and shower you with more than you could’ve ever expected.

Commit to Your Values

Commit to Your Values

Listen. Because listening’s important:

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 honour and commit to your own values.

It can be easy to move through life doing what think you ‘should’ do.

Following a path that’s expected of you, studying what you think you should study, getting the job you think you should get, deciding if and who you should marry,

Living and doing what other people expect of you.

Living by the standards and dreams of other people’s values whilst ignoring your own.

You’ll never find peace or true joy whilst you’re trying to please other people and doing what is expected from you.

It’s time to reconnect with your values.

Revisit what’s really important to you.

Honour your values.

Commit to yourself and your values.

Your values, not the ones that are honoured by your family or community, not the ones that you think make you a ‘good’ person, but those that are important to you (even if they’re not to other people).

The moment you live by your own values you are free.

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

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to get clear on your values.

Write a list of all of your values.

Once written, set them aside for at least 24hrs, then revisit the list, do any need to change?

Next take your list and condense it into your top 10 values, then down to your top 5 values.

This is important as it shows what’s really important to you, not just what you’d like.

Review how much you honour your top five values in the key areas throughout your life.

Then make the required changes in your life so that you come into greater alignment with these values.

Pause, and take a breath. As you honour the truth of who you are.

Today’s Affirmation:

“I commit to living a life in alignment with my truth”

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

In the meantime, enjoy honouring your values!

 

PostScript

One of the reasons that I encourage people to look at their values is they give us a valuable anchor to connect with.

When you feel lost or confused and not sure what to do next, you can run decisions and actions through your value filter to get yourself back on track.

I had a member of my community ask for some help as she was having trouble deciding what action to take next, should she say ‘yes’ to an opportunity or not.

She knew that on paper it was a good opportunity, but she still wasn’t sure. Talking herself in and out of the opportunity.

I asked if her it fulfilled her top values, did it align with what was really important to her.

Once she could run it through this filter, she knew what she needed to do.

Having this filter allowed her to make a clear decision quickly and with confidence and ease.

Celebrate You

Celebrate You

Listen. Because listening’s important:

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 is a reminder to celebrate you.

You are a truly unique creation of the universe.

Whilst you share many similarities with others, you are different from everyone else.

The way that you view the world, the way that you experience the world, and the way you express yourself, are all unique to you.

Allow yourself to celebrate your uniqueness.

Allow yourself to fully recognise that you being you truly enriches the world

Have fun expressing yourself in creative ways.

Don’t limit yourself.

Embrace all of your interests, passions and quirks.

Follow your curiosities.

Stop hiding.

When you focus on your own uniqueness, your own truth, and your own joy, there is no time or space to compare yourself to others.

Just like a garden is more beautiful and rich when it is filled with an abundant variety of flowers, herbs, bushes and trees, the world is a richer, more interesting and nourishing place when it too is filled with a wide variety of people expressing their true and unique selves.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you connect to your truth.

 

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to get creative expressing yourself.

How would you absolutely love to express yourself, but have held back on?

What are your deepest desires?

Perhaps it’s about the clothes that you wear, the accessories you adorn yourself with… do you desire to wear bolder colours or patterns, is it time to try new styles?

A change of hair colour or style?

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to take up singing, dance, cookery, or art…

It’s time to be honest about what turns you on and lights you up, even if only to yourself.

Boldly express your truth and have fun!

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow the joy of who you are to fill your body

Today’s Affirmation:

“My uniqueness, is absolutely perfect for my journey through life”

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

In the meantime, enjoy being you!

I love trees.

If you know me, you are probably laughing and saying, ‘yes she does!’

I’m the kind of person that travels an hour to go and visit a tree.

I asked my husband the other day if he fancied a trip to a particular place, and his first question was. ‘what tree’s there?’ Actually, that time it wasn’t to visit a tree, but it’s not unusual for me to plan trip around a visit to a tree or ancient woodlands.

I take people to visit trees the same way people would take you to visit a castle or a shop.

I adore trees.

Once someone asked me why I love trees so much and I just replied: Because they’re trees. They don’t try and be anything else, they are just deeply rooted into their own being.

Of course, they’re fabulous because they give us everything we need. Air, shelter, food. We can make everything else we need from them.

They’re fabulous – I could go on….

But the point I want to make is, that when I started to share my love, well obsession… with trees, I had so many people come and share with me their love of trees, or tell me about their favourite tree, and I love it when people send me pictures of their favourite or local trees, it lifts my heart to see trees from all over the world end up in my messages.

One friend even facetimed me from Sedona because she wanted to show me the trees there  – amazing!

So when you show up and share more of your truth, even if it’s something as random as obsessing over trees, you make deeper connection with people, and life becomes richer and more fulfilling for all involved, as you all have permission to immerse yourself in things that you love.
