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 get to know yourself.
Know yourself so deeply and intimately that you have absolute confidence in who you are and what you want from life.
Know yourself so well that you know what’s yours and what’s not, particularly in relation to beliefs and fears.
Know yourself so well that you can create a life that honours the truth of who you are.
Understand what’s important to you, what lights you up and what you’re passionate about.
Throughout life you’ll continue to learn more about yourself.
Challenges help you to understand what’s important to you, as they show you what you’re willing to overcome and what you’ll give up on.
Successes show you what you’re good at, or at least what challenges you’ll persist with.
Each event in life helps you to understand more about yourself and reveal a truer version of you.
As more of your true self is revealed, the more you can own your power as you know what actions and values align with who you are.
You do not need for other people to understand your truth.
You do not need their validation, permission or acceptance for you to honour yourself.
Once you understand yourself better you can make choices that support your values, feelings and energy, and you’re less influenced by the demands and expectations of outside influences.
In this very moment, just pause, and take a breath. As you commit to getting to know yourself better.
Today’s SHEro Action:
Today’s SHEro action is to take the time to get really clear on who you are, what’s important to you and what you stand for.
Who would you be if you lived a life that honoured what’s important to you, rather than focussing on what you think you should do or what’s expected of you?
What would you start doing and what would you stop doing?
Who are you when no-one’s looking?
Pause, and take a breath. As you prioritise getting to know yourself better.
Today’s Affirmation:
“I honour the truth of who I am”
I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,
In the meantime, enjoy getting to know yourself better as you walk Your SHEro’s Journey!
PostScript
I always loved doing personality profiles and quizzes that promised to tell you more about yourself.
And they did always tell me something and they’d point me in a certain direction, but it was never enough, and I’d continue to seek.
Two things shifted the eternal seeking for me, one was a realisation, and one was a super simple practice.
The combination of these two actions helped me to know myself better than the decades of personal exploration, and hundreds of quizzes, books and courses I’d taken and read.
First of all, although I enjoyed and had great value from my personal explorations guided by others, one day I realised that the reason I kept searching and trying new things was that I didn’t want more information about myself, what I actually wanted was permission to be me! And I could give that to myself!
Done!
The second thing was that I discovered the idea of charting your energy. Oh my, I could talk about this for hours, and quite often do, but I’ll share a link for a post I wrote about it. But basically, it’s a creative tool that takes a minute or two a day, that helps you to get to know your own inner rhythms and how you show up in the world.
This tool was a complete game-changer for me as it gave me confidence in my own creative energy and allowed me to be much more productive, as well as making it easier for me to honour the time I needed to rest.
Active become more active, and restful became more restful. Everything got done and with time to rest when I discovered my own inner rhythms and cycles!
