You Are Ready to Rise

You Are Ready to Rise

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 are being reminded that you are ready to rise.

Within you is a power so great that you can barely even imagine.

A force of nature so potent it can crack open the earth that you walk on.

The chances are that you’ve been told to suppress this power, you may even be afraid of it.

Society has definitely tried to convince you that it either doesn’t exist, that it’s dangerous, or it’s not for ‘good girls’ like you.

It’s too much, too wild, too loud, too uncontrollable, too primitive, too high-maintenance…

But this power is waking up.

There is no missing it, it’s rising within you.

Wanting you to give it a voice, to give it expression.

It will change your life forever.

But make no mistake… You are ready.

This power has always been within you, walking with you, fuelling your courage, waiting to be set free.

It’s been biding its time, waiting for you to claim it.

That time is now.

Step forth with boldness and passion.

Step forth with courage.

Step forward knowing that you are powerful beyond measure.

Step forward knowing that you are not alone on this path.

You are ready to rise.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel this power rise within you.

 

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to feel into your power.

Witness your power.

Listen to your power.

Sit quietly and place your hands over your belly, just below your navel.

Feel the energy behind your hands, grow and become stronger.

Maybe your hands feel warmer or you feel tingly.

Just sit with the energy and feel it rise.

This is you.

This is your power.

Pause, and take a breath. As you feel your rising power.

Today’s Affirmation:

“I am ready to rise”

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

In the meantime, enjoy feeling your power grow as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

Your power, what you can do and what you can create is phenomenal.

I truly believe we haven’t even begun to claim how powerful we really are, because it scares us.

It scares us because it’s the ultimate act of taking responsibility for ourselves.

I don’t mean so much of a ‘I had a negative thought, so I attracted negative things into my life’, kind of way. I actually think that can be a toxic way of thinking, because sometimes crap just happens, and we live in a world built upon very unfair systems.

But I mean the kind of power that comes from having the ability to choose.

We may not be able to chose events or circumstances, but we can choose if, and how, we react or respond.

We can choose to respond to life from within, a place of conscious choosing.

We can choose differently from our expected and learned responses.

We can choose to shift our perspective.

We know the choices we need to make, no matter how difficult they may feel, and it’s that power that we can avoid, as we know we have the power to change everything we know with a single choice.

But make no mistake, it’s time and you are ready!

Trust Your Intuition

Trust Your Intuition

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 trust your intuition.

Pay attention to all the ways in which your intuition speaks to you.

Through quiet nudges, feelings and inner knowing’s.

Through overheard words, lyrics in a song.

Through your dreams or journaling.

In moments of silence, or through the sacred tools that you use.

All the time your intuition is communicating with you.

Yet, criticism and judgement of yourself can disconnect you from your intuitive self.

It’s time to go within and reconnect to your own inner knowing.

To nurture yourself and take some time to tune in and listen to these intuitive messages.

Sometimes the messages may be loud and clear, and sometimes more like quiet whispers on a breeze.

If you want more clarity or a specific question answered, ask and then listen to the answer.

If you don’t like the answer you’re given, it doesn’t mean your intuition isn’t working… don’t ignore the message, but look for the wisdom in the message and look deeper into your own resistance.

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

 

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to connect to your intuition.

Make some time to sit quietly and listen.

What do you experience?

Can you connect with a sense of inner knowing?

Which of your senses is trying to communicate with you?

Maybe you want to connect with your intuition, using your favourite tools for divination to help you access the messages.

Ask your questions, seek guidance, and listen to the wisdom in the answers you get.

Pause, and take a breath. As you become more tuned in to your own wisdom.

Today’s Affirmation:

“I honour my intuition”

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

In the meantime, enjoy deepening your connection with your intuition as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

 

PostScript

Everybody is intuitive.

But just like any skill the more you practice it the easier it becomes to access it and more importantly to trust it.

When I started practising kinesiology, I started to get intuitive insight into what was really going on with a client. The messages would come through all of my senses.

At first, I was just curious, I observed the messages, but didn’t say anything.

Then after time I began to share with my clients, with the caveat, ‘I know this sounds weird, but I get the feeling that this is rooted in xyz’. People were always amazed and would ask, ‘how did you know that?’.

The truth is I didn’t, it was just an intuitive hit, and energetic signature I was picking up from them.

Decades later I share all of my intuitive insights with my clients, because I’ve learned to trust them.

Sometimes they don’t make sense to me, but they do for my client.

Our job isn’t to reason, to make sense of, or question our intuition, it’s to learn to listen with all of our senses and become discerning, so that we can act from a place of trust, a place of deep inner knowing.

And it starts with you simply listening.

Feel Gratitude Your Own Way

Feel Gratitude Your Own Way

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 feel gratitude, but do it your own way.

Notice all that you’re thankful for.

No matter what you’re experiencing right now, stop everything you’re doing, and take a moment to focus on your breath.

Notice the rhythmic inhale and exhale of your breathing.

As your energy begins to calm with your breath, bring to mind all the things that you’re grateful for.

These could be people, situations, animals, environments, conversations, experiences or things.

We can be quick to focus on what we feel is missing from our life, but for today, notice all of the good, the joyous, the fun, the supportive, the kind, the loving, the compassionate actions that are shared in your life.

Notice the lessons, the surrendered moments, and the tender interactions.

Notice all the moments that fill your day and lift your spirit.

Maybe they’ll be fleeting, maybe they last for hours.

By bringing your attention to them, allows them to fill your body and ripple throughout your life.

This isn’t about ignoring the things that aren’t as you want them to be, it’s about resting and reviving your energy so that it can overcome the obstacles and challenges that you face with more resilience, strength and optimism.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel gratitude wash through your body.

 

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is notice all the things that you’re grateful for in your life and throughout your day.

Get yourself a small notebook or some paper and carry it around with you all day.

Every time something lifts your heart, say ‘thank you’ to the universe and write it down on your paper.

Write down everything that you are grateful for and appreciate. This could be that you see a beautiful flower, someone remembers something important to you, they give you a compliment, offers you a helping hand, you see something that makes you laugh in social media.

Maybe you complete a task, overcome an obstacle, give a gift to someone you care about, have a deep and nourishing conversation, face a hard truth.

Perhaps they are memories that still warm your heart and make you smile.

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to feel in to all the things that lift you up in your life.

Today’s Affirmation:

“Thank you, more please”

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

In the meantime, enjoy feeling grateful as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

 

PostScript

Years ago I wrote a blog post about why I stopped being grateful… well kind of, here’s some of what I wrote:

I stopped forcing myself to be grateful a long time ago.

You see, being grateful always felt quite heavy to me.

It’s in all the self-help books and workshops. It’s the holy grail of attracting more abundance into your life.

Be grateful, to attract more things to be grateful for.

It makes perfect sense!

However, what you’re actually doing is aligning yourself with, and attracting the vibration and energy behind ‘feeling grateful’, and for me grateful has always felt a little dense and heavy energetically.

It took me ages to work out why, as no one wants to think of themselves as un-grateful! And I certainly didn’t feel that way.

But yet the word ‘grateful’ didn’t sit comfortably with me.

 

Then I realised that the word ‘gratitude’ had echoes of my childhood ringing through my ears:

‘You should be grateful, there are people who have it much worse than you!’

‘Eat it all up. Be grateful you have anything to eat, there are children starving in Africa‘ (it was the 80’s and Band Aid was still very front and centre of people’s thoughts.)

‘Be grateful that your father isn’t here, he wouldn’t have let you off so lightly’

I’d been bought up where gratitude was a double-edged sword.

Of course, I was glad things weren’t worse than they were, or that I wasn’t starving, or I wasn’t in even more trouble, but these seemed more like guilt trips than reasons to be joyous.

Gratitude felt like it was tainted with the energy of struggling to overcome something. Especially when I found myself thinking:

‘I’m so grateful that exams over, only two more to go.’

‘I’m so grateful that I didn’t fall over in from of all those people and make a fool of myself.’

Gratitude was an expression of thanks that felt closed and heavy, it felt like overcoming a battle.

So when I was told to keep a gratitude diary, or make lists of things I was grateful for before I went to bed, my heart sank a little.

I did it, as I didn’t want to appear ungrateful, but it didn’t bring the joy I expected it to, or that I’d heard about.

 

So how do you feel about the word ‘grateful’, you could swap it as I did back then for the word ‘appreciation’.

Do they feel different to you?

Either way, focus on what delights you, those things you feel appreciation and gratitude for, as we say to the Universe, thank you, more please, knowing that as we feel these feelings, whatever words we choose to use, we expand the energy into our lives, and also to the world around us too.

Pause and Do Nothing

Pause and Do Nothing

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 pause and do nothing.

Go within.

Rest.

Take time to pause and allow yourself to dream.

Take time to nourish yourself deeply.

How often do you prioritise the stillness, the nourishing and the dreaming?

Do you schedule time just to dream, or is your to-do list full of action and activity?

Review your relationship with stopping and pausing. This is after all part of the natural rhythm of life.

Yet, we can often judge stopping, pausing and resting, as lazy, unproductive or a waste of time, as there’s nothing tangible, or what society teaches us as valuable and worthwhile at the end of it.

Feeling refreshed, nourished and restored, doesn’t receive the same accolades as being busy, achieving and exhausted.

But when you allow yourself to stop, to pause, to dream and restore, those tasks on your to-do lists get done better, more efficiently and to a higher standard.

There’s less resentment of things or people taking your time, as you have more energy, so the time you have left creates better connections with family and friends.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you let yourself pause.

 

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to pause and do nothing.

Can you give yourself 5 minutes of daydreaming, or maybe even an hour?

Notice how you feel about stopping and doing ‘nothing’.

Does it feel joyful, or does guilt and the dreaded ‘should’s’ creep in.

Give yourself permission to take some time to stop – no guilt, no judgement and no expectations.

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to do absolutely nothing.

Today’s Affirmation:

“It’s okay for me to stop”

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

In the meantime, enjoy doing nothing as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

 

PostScript

We’re not often taught the importance of the pause, but notice it in the rhythm of your breathing.

You breathe in, there’s a slight pause and then you exhale.

One of my favourite places to really experience this is walking a labyrinth, or even using a finger labyrinth, if you don’t have a walkable labyrinth close by.

You walk in towards the centre of a labyrinth, pause in the middle, and then walk back out, and this this is a beautiful metaphor for life.

You start at the beginning of the labyrinth with a question you want guidance on. You walk into the centre of the labyrinth letting go of anything that no longer serves you.

You pause in the centre of the labyrinth and assimilate all that you’ve become aware of, let go of and you listen to the guidance you’ve asked to receive.

Then you walk back out of the labyrinth on a new path, representing the new person you have become after this journey.

All three stages of the labyrinth walk are as important as each other.

Just as in life, we need to inhale what we need, pause and rest to assimilate the information, then exhale as we express the truth of who we are.

All three stages equally important.

Right now you’re being reminded to rest, so that after this time you can walk back out on a new path ready to express more of the truth of who you are.

Listen for the Wisdom of Your Soul

Listen for the Wisdom of Your Soul

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 listen for the wisdom of your soul.

Pay attention to those small whispers that you hear when you get still.

The little nudges that keep coming back to you time and time again.

The inspiration that lights up your heart, expands your energy and pulls you forward towards something different than you have now.

Trust this quiet voice, that deep inner knowing.

It’s the wisdom of your soul speaking to you.

Even if others don’t agree with you, even when they try and discourage you, stay true to yourself, and respond from that quiet, stillness, the calm and confidence, of that authentic place within.

Be honest with yourself.

Be honest with those around you.

What do you really want?

What won’t you tolerate anymore?

What do you need to nourish and nurture yourself?

What are you letting go of?

What needs to change?

Listen to your truth.

Act from your place of truth.

Live your truth.

Trust your inner guidance and follow it.

There is a place deep within you that knows what you need. A wisdom that honours your truth and aligns you with your purpose.

Allow this inner wisdom to lead today.

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

 

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to follow your inner guidance.

Let your intuition lead your day.

If you get an intuitive nudge to call someone, to visit a particular place, to take a different route, to read a new book, to reach out to someone, do it.

Don’t question yourself, just trust and follow the guidance.

You can listen to the advice and opinions of others, but if your heart’s guiding you elsewhere, follow that inspiration.

Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to follow your heart.

Today’s Affirmation:

“I trust myself and the wisdom of my soul”

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

In the meantime,enjoy listening to your soul’s wisdom as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

 

PostScript

Often people can think they’ve been inspired by their soul when they feel the energy of excitement. I often feel that energy and want to dash off and follow it.

But over the years, I’ve learnt that for me, my soul’s voice is much quieter.

It’s not an excitable energy; as fun as that type of energy is.

For me when my soul speaks to me, it a quiet energy.

It has the quiet confidence of presence, of deep knowing.

It wraps me in the comfort of just being.

That’s definitely not the only way that a soul can talk to you, maybe yours is more of the excitable energy, or a different type of energy altogether.

But make sure the fun, the dramatic, the adrenaline-fuelled energies aren’t masking the quieter messages of your inner-knowing.

Honour What You Know to be True

Honour What You Know to be True

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 what you know to be true.

Believe in yourself and keep going.

The path you’ve chosen may feel hard, it may be filled with challenges and unexpected plot twists, you may be tired… but keep going.

Each obstacle, challenge, and detour, makes you stronger and more resilient.

They bring with them, greater wisdom and learning.

They help you become stronger and more aligned with where you want to be.

Challenges aren’t punishment.

Obstacles don’t always mean that you need to turn back.

They can just mean that you need to get stronger to be able to initiate your biggest dreams.

Don’t let obstacles think that you’re on the wrong path.

Listen to that inner voice, and trust in yourself, you know the way.

Slow down and take smaller steps if necessary.

But don’t stop.

If you stumble or fall, rest and get back up again.

Don’t allow yourself to be limited by the beliefs of yourself or others.

Move beyond self-imposed limitation or restrictive boundaries.

Believe in yourself and honour what you know to be true.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you allow yourself to lean in, instead of turning away.

 

Today’s SHEro Action:

Today’s SHEro action is to reconnect to your ‘why’.

Remember the reasons that you chose this path and started this journey.

Spend some time journaling, drawing, speaking or creating your desired outcome.

It can be easy to become disheartened or discouraged.

But when you shut out the noise and reconnect to your purpose, it will be easier to get back up with renewed vigour and keep moving forward.

Pause, and take a breath. As you give yourself permission to reconnect to your purpose.

Today’s Affirmation:

“I believe in myself and my actions”

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!

Many people I know believe that if something’s meant to be, it should flow and be easy, that it should be free from obstacles.

And whilst sometimes that’s the case, I believe that challenges don’t automatically mean that you’re on the wrong path and that you should give up.

Challenges allow you to get really clear on what it is you want, is it something that you are prepared to dig deep for, is it something you’re prepared to put your time and energy into.

Sometimes challenges help us to become the people we need to be.

Sometimes they help us learn more about our own character.

Sometimes they help us to understand just how strong we really are.

The mighty oak grows as strong as it does because it has weathered the storms.

The wind and the rain making it stronger and more resilient to external forces.

If you tried to plant a fully grown tree outside, one that had never experienced the changing weather and seasons, it would simply fall over at the first strong wind that came its way.

Just like the tree, our challenges demand that we sink our roots deeper, so that we can stand with confidence as we face the changeable nature of the world around us.

Next time you come up against an obstacle, ask yourself, is this something that you’re ready to sink your roots deeper for, or is it not worth your time?

There’s no right or wrong answer, the challenges just help you to understand what’s important to you and where your current priorities are.
