Hello Everyone,
As the summer keeps heating up a continuation of immediate manifestations are on the rise. Pay attention to the things that appear effortlessly in your experience and appreciate them. Notice that things your give gentle, non-resistant attention to will manifest so quickly! The Universe will keep reminding you that what you feel and what you think about you get, even in the smallest ways!
This fiery month can bring you so many fun surprises if you open to it. In August BE READY. New things will come to light for you. Ah-ha moments and being at your best will be very present if you have been doing the work. This is a great time to shine, be out in the world, put yourself out there in new ways, and be brave. Look where you can give LOVE instead worrying about if you are getting it.
A child psychologist I follow said something that struck me. It was regarding children feeling bad about something that hadn’t done well or being down on themselves in general and how to help them. If a child says, “I am stupid,” a parent’s instinct is to say, “That isn’t true.” This inadvertently disregards the child’s feelings and misses an opportunity to build confidence. Instead, we need to go toward the negative feeling and ask them why they feel that way. Allow them explore the feelings coming up for them so they can learn to trust their feelings and understand what they really mean. It is guidance. I always follow-up with my own children with my favorite question, what does this make you know you want?
She said “Confidence is having trust in yourself,” and if you can’t trust your own feelings, how can you build confidence? This applies perfectly to adults as well. Feeling powerful is the same as feeling confident. We must learn to listen to the messages our emotions bring. They tell us when a boundary has been crossed, when we need more compassion for ourselves, and most importantly they let us know whether we are focused in alignment with our true selves or in opposition. We have all been taught to rely on others to validate us, instead of using our own feelings to bring us clarity on who we want to be.
Building confidence and trust in ourselves begins with having the tools to pivot or self-soothe. Trust that you are enough, and that you are more powerful than you know. We have been talking about filling the holes of doubt and disbelief, and this month is about building the muscle of trust. Every time you feel badly about yourself, look right at that feeling and do your best to pivot it. Negative self-talk is so destructive and a huge reason that we don’t allow ourselves to succeed.
This is a great month to step into your power with others. If you have been isolating or in retreat mode, this is the time to come out of your shell!! Be bold, be brave and try something JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT!
I feel a sense of rebirth, second chances and new paths this month as well. Something you thought you gave up on may make an appearance. Perceived failures are turning into new opportunities, so look for the gifts in something that has been dormant inside of you.
The other side of the fire energy is anger. There are more and more people being forced to examine their wounding and this is a good thing, but people are on fire!! So many are wounded and have lost their way which is why they cause harm or try to control others. Hostilities, fear, resentments, and frustrations are coming up in so many ways right now so be hyper aware of shifting these emotions when they come up. It is OK to feel angry, just don’t get stuck in riotous anger and instead ask yourself “What it is bringing up for me?” “Where is this familiar?” and of course, “What does this make me know I want?” Nothing is happening TO you it is all happening due to what you have been thinking and feeling. Change what you are thinking and feeling and what you get will change.
August brings an awakening to our dreams and wishes while bringing new life to them! Move towards the things you want every day even in a small way.
Some exercises for August:
- Practice softer non-resistant statements around things you want. For example “I would love it if..” or “Wouldn’t it be nice if..”
- MEDITATE EVERY DAY- get yourself in a more receptive state daily to take advantage of all the clues the Universe are sending you.
- Move your body daily, and if you can do it to music. Get out of your head and into your body.
- Write out where you feel you want to build your confidence and trust in yourself and then give that assignment over to the Universe. For example: I want to be confident that I can create more money easily.
Universe, show me all the ways I can allow money to flow.
