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 everything ends, and with every ending comes a new beginning.

It’s one of the beautiful things in life.

It’s beautiful because it’s dependable, we can trust it.

And trust is what I want to talk about today.

One of the key themes of my work, it’s the foundation of what I want for every single person, and that’s that they can trust themselves.

It sounds so simple doesn’t it?

 

Trust yourself.

 

It rolls off the tongue and I’m sure you can expect to see it on an inspiring cup or a bumper sticker.

But do you actually, really, truly, trust yourself?

Maybe you have moments of trusting yourself, followed by longer moments of doubt.

We can lose trust in ourselves every time we become more concerned about the opinions and reactions of others over our own.

We can lose trust in ourselves when we feel that everyone, or even some other people are more important than ourselves.

We can lose trust in ourselves when we aren’t clear on our own boundaries.

We can lose trust in ourselves when we can no longer feel where we end and other people begin; so pick up other people’s judgements and opinions and confuse ourselves as we believe that these opinions of other’s are ours, even though they don’t feel right to us.

We can lose trust in ourselves every time we disconnect with our inner power and look outside of ourselves for the answers.

The list goes on and on.

I think it’s fair to say that there are many structures set up in our world that profit from us not trusting ourselves.

I may not be able to change the structures, but I can hopefully inspire you to trust yourself again.

 

And so this is where we move into season two of this podcast.

The reconnection.

 

Changing the format of the podcast is the perfect example of trust. And as a side-note… if you love hearing stories of people seeing dragons, having trees laugh at them and speaking to crows, you’ll want to stay tuned…. And when I say people, obviously I mean me!

 

But first let me explain how I got here…

 

At the beginning of last year, I made a bold decision to create everything, and I meant everything from a place of ‘feeling’, rather than logic.

It started simply with the creation of this website RebeccaAnuwen .com, and with the colour palette.

The main colours of my website are green and pink.

I had never really considered myself a pink kind of person, but it felt right.

I chose the dark green and pink, and then tried talking myself out of it. Although it felt perfect, I kept thinking that dark green and gold was far more of a classic combination.

But I reminded myself that I was going to trust myself and follow my feelings so that’s what I did.

I went for dark green, pink with rose gold.

I still love how it feels, and when I launched the new site, soooo many people that knew me commented about how it was such a good reflection of me!

With many saying it was light and grounded, just like me.

Phew, I’m glad I trusted the feelings.

And this podcast has done exactly the same for me.

Last Thursday as I was recording the podcast for Friday – yes that’s how it gets done lol…. And something felt different.

I initially put the feeling down to the current circumstances.

I tried to fob it off as it was late at night.

But it felt different.

So, I sat with the feeling.

I got the feeling that it was time to stop writing a daily podcast.

Immediately I resisted.

No. I couldn’t do that, I receive so many emails and comments from people thanking me for doing a daily show.

I know it’s part of so many people’s routine.

I can’t just stop. Especially now, as I feel that people need a small dose of inspiration more than ever.

I could hear all the incredible comments from people that love the daily episodes and immediately felt that I didn’t want to let them down.

 

Then I came back to my own centre.

How did I feel?

What felt right to me?

What was the intuitive message I was receiving?

 

And I knew it was time for a change.

Trust.

 

I trust myself implicitly.

It’s not always been my natural default mode, it’s certainly something I have had to learn, and I want to share with you stories of how it can be yours too.

I want you to understand how to trust your own intuition.

So that you too can understand the difference between being tired and not wanting to carry on with something, and knowing that it’s the right time to stop. And to do so without yo-yoing between certainty and doubt.

Now more than ever is the time when we need to learn to trust ourselves more.

Trust what we want to keep and what’s ready to be let go of.

Trusting ourselves isn’t always the easy path, but it is always the right path.

I want you to be able to know when you need to stand your ground because you trust yourself, even when those around you may be telling you that you’re wrong.

And importantly I want for you to be able to trust the messages that you receive from your soul and the world around you, so that you can understand and interpret these messages and the messages from your own inner wisdom.

To support you to do this I’m going to share with you my, well let’s face it… no doubt seemingly crazy to some people, adventures, but to others they’ll hear my stories and say ‘phew, yes, me too’, and to others I hope it opens up a world where we’re not limited by the five senses we’ve been traditionally taught we have.

I want you to step into a world where you sense as well as see and perceive as well as hear.

 

These stories will include my first experience of crystals where I cried and cried and had no idea what on earth was going on, to the time I was shouting and swearing at a tree that was laughing at me, to a time when I was teaching a class and I shared that a dragon was circling my office and I wanted to know who’s it was, as it certainly wasn’t mine (I work with a different type of dragon) (and yes we found out who’s it was).

 

If someone had shared these stories with me at the beginning of my journey, I absolutely would’ve thought they were well… I would’ve thought there was something not quite right with them.

But they are just so normal to me now that I barely even bat an eyelid when these things happen to me.

I’ll even share with you how I still refuse to talk to dead people, but I have made an exception a few times – and one of those times really brought home to me just how much I do trust myself.

 

I trust myself, and the universe so much that I can share these stories with you, know they might sound weird, and also be confident in my own experience.

Now obviously I don’t expect you to chat with dragons or trees unless you want to, but my guess is that you already do to some degree – perhaps without even realising that you do.

And whilst you don’t have to broadcast your conversations,  I want to give you the confidence to deepen that connection, to trust yourself and your own experiences, knowing that you’re not alone.

But more than anything I want you to listen to yourself, to understand how to interpret the message of your soul.

 

So, if you want to join me on this adventure, each Tuesday I’ll share with you a story from my own experience and some information on how to trust yourself a little bit more.

Because surely, if I can trust myself that I talk to dragons, you can trust yourself to know what you need to do next?

I hope you’ll join me for the adventure!

I’ll see you on Tuesday as we Re-Enchant Your Life and reconnect you with your own inner-wisdom.

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 make clear choices.

Re-energise your dreams and desires.

What are the specific outcomes that you want?

What is it you want to be experiencing?

What feelings and values do you want to be front and centre of your day, your week, your life?

How do you want your relationships to be, both with yourself and those around you?

Dreaming about your desires is wonderful, and now it’s time to make choices that move you into alignment with them.

You’re here for a purpose; and that purpose is to be the most fully expressed version of yourself, it’s time to embrace all of you, and live your life out loud.

Take yourself and your dreams seriously, you have them for a reason.

Believe in yourself and all that you are.

Make aligned choices.

You are enough.

You are perfect just as you are.

No more biding your time, the time will pass anyway, you may as well be moving in the direction of your own choosing.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as make clear choices.

 

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

In the meantime, enjoy moving forward as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

Every choice you make counts.

Every choice you make sets a course of events into action.

When you make a choice, you set of on a new path.

As you step forward you step into the choice, it comes alive and starts to become your reality.

You are a powerful co-creator of your experience, choose consciously.

Choose from a place that aligns with your own dreams and desires, and not from a place of expectation.

If you step forward into a choice made from expectation, one day it will lead to frustration and resentment.

If you step forward into an aligned choice, you step forward with power, confidence, optimism and possibility.

Yes, you are that powerful, and the real magic happens when you begin to name and claim that power, as the creator of your life.

Today you’re being reminded to take up space.

Take up space with your thoughts, your feelings, your dreams, your desires, your concerns, your expectations, your physical body.

Take up space with it all.

Take up space unapologetically.

Say what you mean.

Ask for what you need.

Step into this power and let your confidence rise.

What does allowing yourself to access this inner-power feel like?

Your power has purpose.

It moves you forward.

It brings clarity.

Your power asks you to walk your own path, to be true to, and trust in yourself.

Does your power surge through your body, or is it the quiet resolve to show up and try again?

You’ve probably experienced both.

Power can be loud, and it can be quiet.

It can be dramatic, and it can be peaceful.

It can shout ‘here I am’, or it can show up quietly and unannounced.

However you experience it, it always has the energy of presence and embodying the fullness of who you are.

Allow yourself to feel alive as you revel in your own power as you take up space.

Celebrate it.

Sing and dance in it.

Own it.

Live it.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you give yourself permission to take up space.

 

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

In the meantime, enjoy taking up space as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

I say this with a little chuckle as it’s everything I’ve been taught I shouldn’t be as a British person, as a British woman… but I want you to be absolutely, 100% full of yourself.

That’s right ‘full of yourself’.

Be so full of yourself, your own essence, your own dreams and desires and your own truth that there is nowhere for you to take on anyone else’s judgements or expectations.

Be so full of yourself that there is absolutely no room for you to hold onto fears, doubt, or overwhelm.

Be so full of yourself that you know yourself so well that you trust yourself completely.

Be so full of yourself that if someone was to doubt you, you wouldn’t even notice, let alone care.

Be so full of yourself that you delight and revel in your own magnificence.

Be so full of yourself that you never again have to try and fill yourself up with things that don’t serve you, and that never manage to fill you up anyway…

Be so full of yourself that you can not help but take up space with the truth of who you are.

Be more you.

Unapologetically, you.

Today you’re being reminded that now is the time to follow the Call of your soul.

Every journey starts with The Call, the intuitive nudge to start something different, to choose a different direction, to break free from routine.

Maybe you are raring to go, or perhaps you don’t feel ready.

You’ve received The Call, so know that no matter how you feel, it’s time to go.

Your time is now.

The Call doesn’t go away. It can get louder and louder, until it does something drastic to make you pay attention.

So, prevent the unnecessary drama, muster your courage and move forward in the direction of the Call of your soul.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is most definitely it!

You don’t need to know how it will all unfold.

Remain curious and open to possibilities, listen to your intuition and the messages and synchronicities that surround you.

Once you commit, magic happens and new opportunities will come your way, often in unexpected ways.

Commit and move forward.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you connect with what you need to do.

 

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

In the meantime, enjoy feeling the Call of your soul as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

In the past, I always loved to use the words ‘I don’t know’, or ‘I’m not sure’, as reasons to delay making change and taking the action I needed to take.

At the time I genuinely thought I didn’t know or I really did think that I wasn’t sure, but in truth I was just avoiding making a commitment that I knew would change my life in some way, even if that was just in a little way.

After years in the personal development world, I can tell you how much I really HATED hearing the words ‘you have the answers within’, I used to roll my eyes, and just want someone to tell me the answers, (in reality I didn’t want to have to take responsibility for my choices).

So I understand if you now roll your eyes and maybe is swear a tiny bit at me (or a whole lot, I can take it lol), when I tell you that you do know exactly what your Soul is telling you, sometimes we just have to give ourselves permission to hear and to trust it.

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 start again.

No matter where you find yourself, know that you can start again.

Often people feel like they have to stay on a particular path because they committed to it or have been on it for years.

But it’s completely okay to wipe the slate the clean and start again.

It’s easy to become comfortable in the familiar.

But when was the last time that you actually stopped to ask yourself if your current path, actions, or even beliefs were still true for you?

Do they still light you up and deeply resonate with you?

Or have you outgrown them and are ready to move on?

Fresh starts and new beginnings are filled with hope and possibility, they also ask you to embrace the unknown.

It takes courage to start again, it’s not always the easy choice, but it’s often the right choice.

No experience is ever wasted.

We learn, grow and expand our knowledge.

We succeed or we gain new information.

All experiences add to your rich tapestry of life and give you more wisdom to draw upon, or at the very least a story to share.

Trust your heart and recognise the wisdom in starting again.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you contemplate starting again.

We can often try and talk ourselves out of starting something new.

Change can cause us to doubt ourselves.

One of my favourite ways to check in with myself and see what I really want is to flip a coin.

Yes, you heard that right.

I once remember a trusted mentor saying that she would flip a coin to make decisions in her life. I have to admit that I was initially shocked. She just didn’t seem to be the kind of person that would leave life choices to random chance.

Then it made sense.

She went on to explain that she only flipped the coin to notice her reaction.

If she flipped the coin and it confirmed what she wanted she felt relief.

If she flipped the coin and it gave her the answer she didn’t want, even if she wasn’t sure up until that point, it let her understand what she did want.

She didn’t then follow the outcome of the coin flip, just the clarity of knowing what she did want.

Often, I do the same.

If I think it’s time for a change, or to start something new, I’ll flip a coin.

Not to find out what I should do, but to uncover my real, and immediate, feelings about the decision.

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 connect with your sacred power.

Your sacred power resides in the wisdom of your energetic Womb energy – this isn’t about having a physical womb, as I’m referring to the energetic Womb space, your creative cauldron, the sacral chakra or hara.

I believe that this energetic space is the seat of a woman’s power.

The seat of your ability to create things, experiences, and life.

Yet instead of connecting with it to make aligned choices from a place of passion and grounded power, women can often use it as a convenient storage space.

A place to store unresolved emotions, especially grief.

Collective grief, ancestral grief and of course their own grief.

The Womb space is not a storage place.

It’s a place of deep wisdom.

A place where you conceive, incubate and birth new ideas.

A place of your deepest knowing and deepest connection.

It’s the home of your sacred power and it’s time to allow yourself to really feel into this power within you.

It’s time that you can once again make choices from a place of passion and power, instead of overwhelm, confusion and fear.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel into your energetic womb space.

 

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

In the meantime, enjoy connecting with your sacred power as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

When you’re disconnected from your Womb space, that energetic space, you also become disconnected from your own power.

When you’re disconnected from your own power one of the most damaging things that can happen is that you can lose your own sense of self, and quite literally forget the truth of who you really are.

You can lose touch with your own hopes, dreams and desires.

One of the main reasons that women become disconnected from their sense of power is that they are taught from a very young age that women are caregivers; loving, kind and nurturing.

So it’s then expected that they should put the needs of others before themselves.

To do this women end up suppressing their own thoughts needs and desires until they become numb to them.

They can be so busy putting everyone else’s needs before their own, that they can forget what truly lights them up, and this can leave them feeling frustrated, empty and resentful, and not even know why.

If you think about your Womb space, it’s mainly an empty space that we don’t pay much attention to unless you’re pregnant or have your period.

And for that reason, I see many women using it like a ‘cupboard under the stairs’ or a spare drawer in the kitchen; a space where you put all the items that don’t really have any other place to go.

You have an emotion, you don’t know what to do with it, so it gets stuffed down into the Womb space.

Something happens, you don’t have time to process it, it gets stuffed down into your Womb space.

You have a shock or experience a trauma, it gets stuffed down into your energetic Womb space so that you can continue with everyday life.

All the ‘junk’ ends up in Womb space and the pelvic girdle.

It’s like a convenient space that’s really handy just to store things in until you know what to do with them, yet we often forget to go back and empty it.

So, the emotions and unprocessed events stay there festering…

And that’s exactly what I used to do too.

I’d been storing, and dare I say ‘hiding’ the remnants of events and emotions in my ‘cupboard under the stairs’ Womb space.

The ironic thing was, that I’d suppressed my power and filled this space as I thought it was safer for me. Yet when I released and healed what needed to be addressed and I came back into my body, I felt safer than I ever had before.

Avoiding the issues may have felt easier than facing them, but in fact addressing them left me feeling lighter, freer, happier and rooted in my own sense of self and connected to my seat of power.
