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 that change.

That change that your soul has been calling for.

That change that keeps nudging you to take action.

The change that creates a new beginning for you, a clean break and fresh start.

Change is often difficult, even when you know it’s the right thing to do.

As you go through any change, big or small, it’s necessary to let yourself grieve what you leave behind, even when you know it’s what you need or want to do.

Acknowledge the change and transformation that you’re about to embark on.

Be gentle with yourself.

Heal old wounds and patterns.

If appropriate make amends, tidy up loose ends and free yourself up to move on.

If you can’t, or don’t want to forgive others, heal the rifts within yourself.

Do what’s best for you and prioritise yourself.

Decide if you need to repair and mend rifts from your past, or whether it’s time to break free completely as you move forward.

It’s okay to burn bridges, not everything can be fixed.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you allow yourself to make the changes you need.

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

In the meantime, enjoy the opportunities that change brings to your life as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

When we say ‘yes’ to change, we know our whole world is about to change.

Every choice we make, sends ripples throughout our life.

That’s why we can delay making a change or pretend we don’t know what we actually want to change.

Every choice you make sets you on a new path in your life.

Many of the choices we make in a day are about us trying to hold onto something or trying to keep something the same.

But what if you allowed what was complete or done to go.

Let it go so that you can use your time and energy on what was to come.

Choices are yours to make.

It’s time to listen to your inner guidance, to make those changes and remember that you are capable of much more than you think or have been taught.

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 hold space for yourself.

Hold yourself with love and compassion.

Be firm with your boundaries.

Know where you end, and other people begin.

It’s time to recognise all that you have been through, the challenges that you have faced and continue to face, and honour how you truly feel about them.

We can often try and put on a brave face or focus on the positives, but denying the truth only buries the pain and discomfort, it doesn’t heal, resolve or allow it to pass though you

It sits there accumulating more, waiting to get your attention.

Hold space for yourself to feel your feelings, do what you need to do to let go and move through it.

Hold yourself with love and compassion.

You no longer need to carry the pain within you.

You certainly don’t have to do it alone.

Know where you end, and others begin so that you don’t carry the emotional weight and expectations of others.

Everything in nature has the ability to restore itself, to heal and come back to balance. As you are an integral part of nature, this power is within you too.

But you must give yourself the opportunity to do this, give yourself the right surroundings, and of course permission.

For healing to appear externally, it must of course be healed within first.

Adding a band-aid of bypassing will not heal an issue.

You must show yourself compassion and be willing to feel all the feels, even when it makes you uncomfortable.

To be able to do this, to consciously acknowledge your pain, without allowing it to take over, brings you into deeper integrity with yourself.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you hold space for yourself.

I’ve often been told that hold incredible space for people. Whether it’s in sessions, group settings or my Red Tents, it’s something I don’t really think about as I’ve done it for so long it just seems natural.

But when I’m asked how to hold space and what it actually means, this is what I respond:

Holding space for yourself literally means that you are the container, the edges and the boundaries so that you can give yourself the space to feel, express, and grow.

It’s the space where you can retreat to so that you give yourself the time and space you need to respond to life instead of reacting.

It’s being present.

Being present to yourself, your truth, your dreams and desires.

It’s being present with yourself so that you treat yourself with love, kindness and compassion.

It’s about being considerate of yourself and your experience.

It’s about listening to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs.

It’s about giving yourself space to hear the call of your soul.

Holding space for yourself is a way of being.

Imagine going through life as your own best friend, that would be holding the most incredible space for yourself.

Today you’re being reminded to get comfortable with the unknown.

There can be a comfort in knowing what’s coming up and how things will turn out, but sometimes when you don’t have all the answers, it leaves the space for magic to happen, space for something greater than you ever thought possible.

When you enter the unknown, you enter the space of possibilities, the space of growth, the space that’s not limited by expectations, rules or judgement.

When you can move out of the way and into the unknown, you give space to the divine intelligence of your soul’s wisdom, you allow the universe to orchestrate a plan more amazing than you can possibly imagine.

Let go of control, release the need to know, and make friends with the unknown.

Allow yourself to surrender to the wisdom of the darkness and dance in her anticipation and magic.

It takes courage to step into the unknown.

You’ll need patience, trust and a large dose of curiosity.

Keep your heart open and trust in the mystery of the unknown.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you step into the unknown.

Many times in my life I thought I knew how I wanted something to turn out, only to find life took me down a very different route, which to my surprise was even better than the outcome I thought I wanted.

I often laugh that for most of my life I considered myself the poster girl for not having children.

Even in my early thirties I was still adamant I didn’t want children. I’d never had a maternal bone in my body.

And then I found myself pregnant…

And to my shock I absolutely adore having my little one in my life.

I still don’t think having a child is for everyone, and I truly think that if I’d never had a child, I’d still be really happy.

But now I have my little boy, I certainly wouldn’t be without him, he’s incredible (says every mother about their own child lol).

I’m not what I would call a mumsy-mum, and I’m certainly not having any more, but I adore my little boy and am glad this was an unknown path that life steered me along.

Today you’re being reminded to give yourself permission to let things go.

You can often do things on autopilot because that’s just the way it is and that’s the way you do it. It’s been done for so long that it’s just become part of your routine.

You can do things because they’re expected of you.

You can do things just because you always have.

And you can do things because you feel responsible for it.

But what if you were to let some of these things go?

Imagine the space that you could create if you removed some of these things that fill your days, weeks and your months.

What could you do with that time and space instead?

Would you use it to rest or nourish yourself?

Would you use it to pursue things that light you up?

Would you free up more energy so that you could spend better quality time on the things that you really care about.

Not doing something or putting it off time and time again, drains your energy and can leave you feeling guilty, anxious and frustrated.

Instead give yourself permission to just stop and let it go.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you feel relief from letting things go.

In the meantime, enjoy feeling freer on Your SHEro’s Journey!

I’m really good at clearing out cupboards and drawers; old clothes, things I’ve not used for an age, paperwork – I can be ruthless. I love the feelings of my environment feeling lighter and more spacious. Even when I’ve cleared out cupboards that when the doors are closed you can’t even tell they’ve been cleared, the wider space still feels different.

But I’m not so good at clearing out habits and behaviours.

I can find myself feeling duty bound to keep doing something, even if I know it’s run its course.

But noticing what you do habitually is a great thing to check-in with regularly.

Just saying ‘no’, and stopping or changing something that’s out of alignment, in my experience, frees up so much emotional and mental energy, it’s worth the difficult conversation, or the short-lived disappointment others may feel.

Prioritising you, letting things go and making choices that support you and your energy, is a radical act of self-care and boundary setting, and we need to do it more often.

Today you’re being reminded that you do make a difference.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you’re faced with challenges in your own life.

It’s even easier to think you can’t make a difference when you look further afield and look at what’s going on around you, in your own community, your country and the world.

Yet even the smallest actions can make a difference.

You will never know how many people, and the choices they then go on to make, are impacted by the ripples of your actions.

A smile, a kind word, genuine interest in someone, a warm gesture, a favour.

A donation in time, action or resources, or amplifying someone else’s effort.

Speaking your truth even if your knees are knocking with nerves.

Standing up for, or with, another.

You never know who you will inspire to do the same.

Even when you know that you can’t possibly save the world, although I wouldn’t want to limit you!, you can, and you do, make a difference.

And when everyone makes even the smallest of differences, you not only change lives, the ripple effects of those actions can, and will, change the world.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you recognise your own significance.

I once saw something in an article, I can’t remember the article, but I can remember the words, and they were ‘separate how you feel from what you do’.

And those words really struck me.

Of course, we’re allowed to feel our feelings, it’s important to acknowledge them rather than suppress them, but we can still choose to take action.

For example the famous book with the title ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’, you may be afraid to try something, but you can separate the feeling from the action you want to take, and still take the action. You can take the action even if your heart is in your mouth or your knees are knocking.

You may feel overwhelmed, but you can choose what action you’re going to take to move you closer to clarity.

You may feel that your actions don’t or won’t make a difference, and you can still choose to take action anyway.

In truth, you may never know the full extent of the difference you really do make, and you can still take action anyway.

Today you’re being reminded to speak with intention.

To be able to speak freely is not a right every person has.

It’s powerful to speak your truth. Yet we live in a world, where doing so can result in harm.

If you can speak your truth, without fear of harm or serious consequences, stand tall and speak to people from your heart, from your deepest truth.

Speak up.

Speak up about what you believe in.

Make it clear about what you support and what you will no longer tolerate.

Create a safe space for other people to use their voice too, in using yours you will inspire others to do the same.

Always ensuring that you give as much value to listening.

You can heal yourself and others through conscious communication.

This isn’t a time to step back, to hide or quieten your voice.

This is a time that needs people to step forward and share their voice, their power and their truth from their heart.

In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you tap into the full power of your voice.

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

In the meantime, enjoy using your voice as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!

When I was in my late teens, I could barely use my voice. I’d be terrified even to make a phone call to someone I didn’t know.

These days I love speaking to audiences, either recorded like for these podcasts or to live audiences at conferences, retreats, on the radio, red tents or teaching in my community.

I can’t imagine not being on stage in front of audiences.

But if 20 years ago you’d have said that one day I’d LOVE speaking in front of people, I would’ve run for the hills at the very thought it was coming my way.

I’d love to tell you that I had a huge epiphany, the clouds parted, angels sung and suddenly I was confident enough to speak to large groups of people.

But no…

It was boring in comparison.

I didn’t even consciously work on it.

My confidence to use my voice grew as I did.

The more I connected to who I was, the more confident I became.

The more I knew what was important to me, the easier it was to speak up.

The more I connected with what I wanted in life, it became easier to speak from my heart.

The more I focused on me, and ignored expectations and judgements, the easier it was to speak my truth.

To speak with intention doesn’t have to be a huge ordeal, you certainly don’t need to speak to audiences, you just have to choose to connect deeply with who you are and speak from that place.
