Every day you wake up in a new world.
Yesterday no longer exists, it is only a memory.
Today, this very moment you get to create, shape and mould your experience.
Think about how every decision you make, influences your energy and your experience of your day.
The foods you eat can affect your mood, energy levels, and how you feel about yourself.
The people you spend your time with, the clothes you wear, can do the same.
The words you use, the activities, conversations and events you focus on, shape your reality.
Think about all of the things you’ve done today, the food you’ve eaten, the clothes you’re wearing, the conversations you’ve had, the content you’ve consumed, how has it all impacted you and your energy?
How has this impact on your energy, influenced how you’ve felt, shown up for yourself, and experienced your day?
I’m not saying you have to analyse every single choice you make – to be honest, that would be exhausting! But by bringing a bit more attention and awareness to your choices, can have a huge impact on how you experience life.
Consciously choosing what you do, say and how you spend your time, can have a great impact on your experience of life, and the reality you create for yourself.
You really do have that much power!
I’ve mentioned it before, but I want us to start a Red Knicker Revolution!
Red knickers are optional, but here’s why knickers are important.
Each day you get up and put on your knickers.
It’s a fairly mundane, routine thing to do.
You may even do it without much thought to the process.
The knickers you wear, mostly have little affect or consequence on your day.
But I want you to choose your knickers with intention.
When you get dressed in the morning, take a moment to connect with your ROOT Essence word.
Then choose knickers that reflect your word.
You might not be able to fully express yourself in the clothes that you wear, but you can certainly do so with the knickers you choose.
Think of the colour and pattern, the material, the shape or size of your knickers. Think of how they feel when you wear them.
Which knickers bring more ‘joy, magic, golden, love, elegance….’ To your day.
It doesn’t matter what they look like, whether they’re teeny-tiny or ‘big’ pants, or even if you wear them at all, all that matters is that they evoke your ROOT Essence word.
If your word is ‘Elegance’, and your knickers are old and have turned grey with age and washing, and have holes in that they shouldn’t have, that’s not likely to help you feel elegant.
If your word is ‘Joy’, perhaps you might want to consider bright and colourful knickers.
Then as you go through the day, each time you see your knickers you’ll be reminded of and connect with your ROOT Essence word.
Making this connection to your truth, even with something as simple and seemingly inconsequential as your knickers, strengthens your connection with your ROOT Word.
You build your muscle of making choices through the lens of your ROOT word.
Then when you have to make the ‘big’ choices in life; should you move home, start/leave the relationship, change job etc, you’ll already be used to making decisions that support what’s important to you.
You can make your decisions with clarity, and from a place of power, because you have been practicing making choices that align with your ROOT Essence.
Practicing any muscle regularly, makes it easier to use when you need it.
Choosing you is no different.
And it all starts with your knickers!
Start by emptying out your knicker drawer and look at each pair of knickers individually.
As you look at each pair of knickers, ask yourself what feeling does it evoke in you?
What do your knickers say about you?
Do they reflect your truth?
Do they reflect how you feel about yourself?
Do you need to get rid of any, or replace any?
How could you change your knickers, so that they help you connect with your ROOT Essence word?
Consciously choose your knickers each day for a month.
