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 step forward and take action.

You may wonder what it is that you’re supposed to be doing, not just for today, but the bigger questions about your life; what’s your purpose, how are you supposed to be contributing with your life?

The truth is, you already know.

You may feel like you want someone else to give you the answer, but really, you’re seeking permission.

Each time you look for these answers outside of yourself, you’re giving away your own power to someone else, instead of naming and claiming what your heart desires, and what, deep down, you know you’re here to do.

Give yourself permission to go after what you desire, even if it makes no sense to those around you.

Realign yourself with your values.

Own the feelings that you wish to experience more of in your life.

Claim the experiences you want to make up your life.

Does your current experience of life reflect that which you hold sacred, or have you been compromising, and constantly putting the needs of others before yourself?

What do you want to share with the world?

What do you really believe to be true?

What kind of world do you want to live in, and contribute to?

Dream about it, talk about it, share your views with others, and take action.

Believe in yourself.

Trust that you wouldn’t have been given this inspiration, if it wasn’t true for you.

Don’t be discouraged by others, or think you have nothing unique to contribute.

The truth is no one sees the world the way in which you do, other people may have similar views, but they have not lived your life or had your experiences, so your thoughts and ideas will always have your unique flavour – share them.

The world is richer and better for it when we all share our inspired truth.

You are valuable and your contribution matters.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you decide what action you’re going to take.

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

In the meantime, enjoy moving forward!

I first got into personal development when I was 16 years old, I’m not sure how or why, but I clearly remember searching for meaning than I felt I had in my life at the time.

And then for the next couple of decades I think it’s fair to say I was a seeker.

I was constantly looking for what my soul’s purpose was, what I was here to do.

I took courses, personality profiles, quizzes, had my astrology chart read, my hands read, my cards read lots of times, I know my Myers Briggs, my DISC, my Human design profile and countless more, and yet still I was seeking.

I wanted to know what I was here to do.

All of the readings had value, and they told me similar information, but it still wasn’t really what I was looking for, so it was never enough, I kept seeking because I told myself I wanted to be sure.

So I continued to seek.

Then one day I realised just how absurd it all was.

I was looking for a purpose the way you’d look for a job title.

I was looking outside of myself for someone to give me permission to do something.

What I hadn’t realised was that what I was really seeking, was permission to be me.

Me in my full glorious, perfectly-imperfect mess.

I realised that we all share the same soul purpose, and that’s to simply show up fully as ourselves.

It didn’t matter what I did, or even what I did for a job, what mattered was that I was true to the values that were important to me. What mattered was that I lived in alignment with my truth.

Phew what a relief to be able to stop seeking!

That didn’t mean I stopped exploring various modalities, what changed was that I wasn’t looking to them to give me the answers that I had inside me all along.

And in case you were wondering….

I’m an Aquarian with a Cancer Moon and Cancer rising.

I’m an ENFP, in Human Design I’m a projector, and my DISC profile has me as a ridiculously high I, nearly 100%.

If you’ve been a seeker too, you probably understand all of that that!

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 embrace the challenges on your path.

As you move towards your dreams and desires, it’s inevitable that you’ll come up against obstacles and challenges.

Some of these challenges will be a signpost pointing you in a new direction, others will be a chance to assess if you’re heading in the right direction.

Other challenges are there to be broken through.

Break through, break free, and break open.

Each challenge you meet, is an opportunity to pause and reflect.

A moment too check in with yourself to ensure you’re heading in the direction of your own choosing.

Each challenge offers you the opportunity to become more resilient as your inner resolve becomes stronger.

When you meet an obstacle, get quiet and go within,

Listen to your inner wisdom for your course of action.

Just because it may appear to be hard, messy or uncomfortable, doesn’t mean that it’s not right for you.

Growth can only occur when you break free from who you thought you were.

The same is true for now.

Summon your courage and keep going.

Know that the mess and the discomfort will be worth it.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel yourself expand beyond your current limits.

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

In the meantime, enjoy becoming stronger!

In the spiritual world there’s much talk about flow, and knowing that you’re on the right path when everything flows with ease. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for some flow and ease, but I also think we’ve made a mistake in how we think about flow.

Yes, for sure there are points in my life where things have almost had a miraculous quality about them, and I certainly feel in flow most of my life.

And yet I can also feel in flow when I come up against obstacles.

Many people have told me that when something has felt too hard, they knew they weren’t in flow, so they turned back.

They’ve equated ‘flow’ to mean that it has to be ‘easy’.

This is the part that I don’t agree with.

Yes, to allowing things to be easy, and also Yes to growing through challenges and challenging yourself to do better, Yes, to gaining and honing skills, Yes for overcoming challenges.

Growth is a natural part of life, and to grow we need some kind of resistance.

The mighty oak tree becomes so resilient as it’s had to ensure the wind and the rain, without which it just wouldn’t be as strong.

Sometimes obstacles are telling us we’re on the wrong path, sometimes they’re telling us we need to get better, stronger and learn something new if we want to get to the place of our dreams.

It’s our job learn the difference.

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 pay attention to how you talk to yourself.

Are you kind and compassionate to yourself, or are you your own harshest critic?

Empower yourself by paying attention.

When you notice yourself being critical, judgmental or harsh on yourself, if you find yourself dismissing your hopes and dreams, or you feel your energy dropping, just stop.

You have the, the authority and permission to interrupt this pattern.

Choose thoughts that consciously encourage you.

Choose thoughts that believe in you and lift you up.

Choose thoughts that allow you to make mistakes, and honours the value, and courage, in trying, and then trying again.

Choose thoughts that don’t demand the false construct of perfection.

When you can interrupt the critical and judgemental thoughts, the limiting patterns, and often habitual behaviours, your confidence will grow.

As you do this, feel the pressure release, as it’s replaced by hope.

Laugh, play and smile with and at yourself.

Notice when you fall into an old pattern, and playfully roll your eyes at yourself, not to criticise yourself, but to make light of the situation as you bring awareness to it.

Appreciate your efforts and become your own best friend.

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

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

In the meantime, enjoy being kinder to you!

When I was 20 I used to do volunteer work at a youth centre on the south coast of England.

And whilst there, I was there I was lucky enough to do a year-long psychology course. The training was to make me more effective at working with the people in the youth centre, many of whom had challenges, but in actual fact it was really beneficial for me.

The training helped me to understand how I communicated with myself and then of course once we know how we communicate with ourselves, we become much better at communicating and supporting other people.

One of the most important things that I remember from that course was learning about self-talk, I hadn’t realised how negatively I spoke to myself, and when I asked myself that question ‘is this my voice?’, I realised it wasn’t, it was expectations of family, and what I’d been taught about society, it was comments teachers had made to me.

One of the things we tried on this class, was instead of berating yourself for talking badly to yourself was to actually own our expertise in talking negatively to ourselves, saying things like ‘Oh my goodness, I’m the best at talking badly to myself’. And as soon as you do that, it steps you out of the situation, it gives you space to pause and to remember that you’re more than the thoughts in your mind.

Once you can break that pattern you make the space to hold yourself with compassion, you make the space for you to think clearly, you make the space to choose supportive thoughts.

So as silly as it may seem, when you find yourself feeling down or stuck in the spiral of decline of negative self-talk, ask yourself first of all: is this my voice? And straight away that separates you from the intensity of the words, and then own the fact that you’re probably a master at talking negatively to yourself, and then again once you create that space, that recognition that you’ve done it again, interrupts the pattern and you get to choose something different, and that power to step back and choose something different is where your power is .

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 day to commit to yourself and make the first steps for you to create the change you’ve been longing for, or at least that you know you need to make.

What is calling you forward?

What truth do you need to honour?

What desire won’t leave you alone?

Now is the time to commit, to allow yourself to be led by your heart.

Tap into your creative power, that infinite power that lies within you. Allow it to show you the way.

Your ability to create is boundless.

Your potential unlimited.

Allow all of your ideas and visions to burst forward, even the crazy ones, in fact especially the crazy ones. As in amongst all of your ideas will be the beginning of something bigger than you can even currently imagine.

Commit to allowing yourself to move forward as you make changes from your creative and untamed feminine.

Consciously contribute to your life, and the world around you.

Take that first step.

And start now.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you embrace your creative potential for change.

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

In the meantime, enjoy your creative potential!

If you’ve listened to this podcast for any length of time, you’ll know I love to create.

I love the adventure that creation takes you on.

You start with one idea and then another comes and takes over.

That happened with the first set of tarot cards that I wrote.

I created an all-woman deck of tarot cards and linked it in with the SHEro’s Journey and the stages of womanhood.

Cups became cauldrons, swords became athames, and wands became rattles. The Magician became the Shamanka, The Emperor became The Monarch, The Page, Knight, Queen and King became the Maiden, Mother Goddess, Crone – you get the idea.

I had hand-written the entire book, well the first draft, I was working with my editors on the book, and the cards had been completed by the artist I was working with.

Then out of nowhere I had the strongest pull to start another book. This book was The SHEro Archetypes. This book felt as if it literally downloaded to me and wrote itself. It was clearly influenced by all of the archetypal energies of the tarot that I’d been working with previously.

And almost like I had to work that deeply with the tarot, so the book on the SHEro Archetypes could come through.

So when you say ‘yes’ to a creative project, be open to where you’ll end up.

As the SHEro Archetypes now have their own book, their own allies, their own oracle cards, their own course, and who knows what else they want to bring through.

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 take some time to nurture your vision of the future.

To nourish your dreams as you draw on the power of the cycles, that flow around you and through you, to support you.

You are intimately connected to an abundant and infinite universe.

A universe that is continually renewing itself, the same way you do too as you walk your SHEro’s Journey through life.

This Journey of birth, growth, transformation, death and renewal plays out in all areas of your life.

But for today focus your attention on the growth of your vision.

Nourish the vision that calls you forward.

The vision that calls you to fulfil your life purpose.

The one that demands that you live from your true essence.

Commit to your vision.

Be open to the magic and abundance that is all around you, the magic and abundance that you are intimately connected too.

Surrender your vision to the universe and allow your SHEro’s Journey to unfold.

Take action on the inspiration and synchronicities you receive.

And trust in divine timing.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you open to the magic of life.

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

In the meantime, enjoy embodying your vision!

I am a huge fan of writing down your goals and visions. There is something magical about quite literally creating them and drawing them into reality with your pen.

As you write, and when I say write, yes I mean with a pen and paper, you activate the creative part of your brain.

As you do this you start to notice things you hadn’t noticed before, you see patterns and come up with more creative ideas.

You start writing about one idea, and then it grows and you come up with more ideas, then you might come across solutions to things that had been stopping you from taking action, and then you have more ideas.

Spending time writing about your ideas not only nourishes them, it makes them more real and it also makes them feel more attainable for you as it keeps you accountable.

I know that in my experience, every time I’ve actually spent time with my goals and written them down, rather than just thinking about them, they’ve always come into reality with more ease, and often quicker too.

20 on-line courses, 7 printed planners and journals, 3 oracle decks, a tarot deck, three books, plus one book and one more oracle deck in the making, I’m all for nourishing your dreams and making them come true.

Today you are being reminded to believe in yourself.

This is far from expecting yourself to be perfect, but it’s about giving yourself some credit and being on your own side.

So what, if you get things wrong, or make a mistake. Learn, say sorry, correct your actions and try again.

Align with yourself, your needs, your values, your energy, and your desires.

Do things your way.

Break free from expectations, things, people and places that no longer nourish or support you.

Believe in yourself enough to say ‘No’ to those things that no longer serve you, and to say ‘Yes’ to those things that your heart desires.

Enjoy the adventure through life.

Surprise yourself at what you can do, and how resilient you are.

Let go of, and move beyond, limiting beliefs and expectations.

Somethings you can plan for, others need figuring out as you go along.

No matter what comes your way, know you can deal with it.

Ask for help, start again, and keep moving forward.

Just because you started heading in one direction, doesn’t mean that you can’t change your mind.

This is your life. Dare to be different, dare to break free, and dare to do it your own way.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you allow yourself to remember your own magnificence.

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

In the meantime, enjoy being you!

In my experience where I see most people doubt themselves is around them following and living their dreams.

Doubts ranging from not being good enough, being ridiculed or not being understood by family and friends, feeling like an imposter or wondering who they think they are to have such dreams, let alone pursue them.

I want to share what I believe about your dreams.

This may seem bold, but I absolutely believe this.

You have a dream because you can make it happen.

Yes, that’s right I believe you can make it happen.

It doesn’t mean that it will be easy, or without challenges.

You may have to learn new skills, call in additional support.

It might not happen tomorrow, it might take years.

But you have the dream because you can make it happen.

Other people may not understand your dream, but that’s okay, it’s your dream and not theirs.

They have their own dreams, and it’s up to them if they follow their own, or not.

It’s up to you to follow yours.
