Change is in the air as we ease into spring. We are presented with a chance to embrace the external energetic stirring to influence an internal energetic shift. Change is one of the few, if not the only, constants in our existence. I’ve been working on reframing my outlook on change from being rooted in fear of uncertainty to an opportunity for transformation. My therapist’s guidance to get comfortable with being uncomfortable continuously replays in my mind. In asking myself to accept the unease that’s associated with stepping outside of my comfort zone, I created space to step into my power and manifest my heart’s desires.
I believe the key to manifestation is cultivating alignment with my highest self and being open to the flow of the universe and her magic. To connect with my inner knowing, I ground myself in intention and commitment to the process. Once I’ve envisioned my heart’s desires, I speak (or write) them into existence, releasing them into the universe. Another gem from my therapist is to focus my awareness on what I can control and try to let go of all things outside that scope. Successful manifestation relies on putting energy into all the ways I can move towards my dreams, trusting the process and clearing any expectations of the outcome. Zen and the Art of Happiness by Chris Prentiss awakened my understanding that life may not (ever) go the way we plan but it never fails to go the way it’s meant to be. I’ve found a sense of freedom in surrendering complete trust in the universe, recognizing she makes no mistakes.
My hope is these prompts empower your courage in embracing change as an opportunity for growth, igniting the magic you hold within your spirit. Your dreams can come to fruition each time you commit to yourself and your journey. Revel in the peace of knowing the universe has your back.
From my heart to yours,
