The word of last week was; creativity. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to be creative.

---

Let the creativity inside of you come out and play. Let it out of the box. Shake loose. Scream. Laugh. Cry. Paint. Write. Sing. Dance. Just create.

Let the process move you. Let it move others. Set it free. Give it life.

Release all the thoughts you have about it and watch it grow into magic. You have it right there, inside of you. Stop searching for it in other places or other people. You already possess it, I promise! Just shake it out of the prison, so that it can unfold into art.

What happens when you feel creative? Do you control it or do you let it control you? Let me know in the comment section below.

The word of last week was; growth. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to grow.

---

Last week I was so angry. I had so many things go against me and I felt so stressed about all the deadlines I have that I can’t seem to catch up to no matter how much planning I do. It is like I have this built-in system that keeps on telling me that I can’t do it and so I don’t. I procrastinate them because they take up space in my head but when I don’t deal with them they just grow and create other problems.

I know I am lucky to be able to sit here and express myself and think about how I feel. I can reflect and ponder about my life and for the most part, I feel very thankful. However, sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t be where I am right now, do you ever have that feeling? I feel like it is time to grow and like I have done what I can do here at this stage in my life. I am ready to level up to the next part of my life. Life has kept me here for a reason I am sure but this calling inside my heart is telling me it is time to go. It is time to grow.

The funny thing is, I had a conversation with someone last week who reminded me that there is something radically wrong in my life since nothing is working out for me. It could be life is telling me to try other things, to test a new way of thinking, to go for something completely different than what I think I should be doing. She continued so easily with a smile; your soul is not here my dear. Your soul has already left. Go with it.

It was like my prayers had been answered. I have been wanting and waiting for somebody to tell me to do just that. I don’t really know why I can’t listen to my own voice and why I don’t allow myself to think that way. Why it takes a stranger to analyze me and my behavior for me to trust that I need to change my environment is a whole other topic that I am sure we will get back to in the near future. But for now I know that I need to grow.

The thing is I know my soul has been calling me. I have actually known that for a while. It has been trying to connect to my body and been telling me to wake up, to move, to shake. The problem is I like my comfort zone and I am scared of the unknown, but who isn’t?

---

Inside my head, this voice whispers to me;

Grow girl,

grow,

into the woman

you already are.

The word of last week was; discipline. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to be disciplined.

---

I have been vegan for a couple of months now and that requires a lot of my discipline daily. I have to make choices based on my lifestyle and sometimes it is hard to control my urges and since this society isn’t vegan-friendly yet I have to be determined enough to say no to the easy way out. People can get so annoyed that I am vegan that they want to pull me down and make me feel weird about it. That is not my problem to handle though but I have to admit that it is harder to be spontaneous when you are vegan. I have to do my research and plan my food intake beforehand if I am eating out. Being disciplined to hold on to my choice makes me feel good, but sometimes this world makes me feel crazy and I lose control of my sanity. That is what happened last week when I lashed out on my family for no reason. I realized I had to refocus my energy on what is important again and it is ironic that the lesson of the week was about discipline.

I’ve read somewhere that you only have a specific amount of discipline to use daily and when that bulk is used you don’t get more to spend on tasks that require your focus. Let’s say that you have like 100 units of discipline to use on an entire day. By the beginning of the day, it might take you 70 units to get up and go to work, be nice to your coworkers, work out and eat healthily. Making decisions that are healthy and being nice to rude people at work might take a lot of your energy and requires you to control your impulses by using your discipline.

If you only have 30 units of discipline left when you get home to your family it is easy to understand if and why you make poor decisions in the evening. You might get stuck on the couch, get in a low vibe or eat junk food because you don’t have the discipline to get up and do something good of your time. Maybe you lash out on everyone because you feel tired or hungry. Maybe you are fed up with everyone in the office but take it out on your partner. When you know where all your energy and focus goes daily it is easier to see what you can do to be more productive. Where are you using your discipline and where can you cut back?

The word of last week was; free. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to be free.

---

I find myself in situations I don’t want to be in more times than I want to admit. Sometimes I can’t control it but other times it is because I forget that I am in charge of my life. I have a way of sabotaging the flow of life and getting myself in trouble. It is like I can’t believe that something good is happening to me so I have to ruin it and stop all the blessings that are coming my way. Self-sabotage is a real thing and it has some deep roots for me that I am trying to figure out and heal but before I can do that I have to remember that I am free.

The message for this week that I sit with and try to understand is that I am in charge. I am the master of my life. I have free will. Anything I want I can create.

So I say to myself to unlearn and relearn again and again until this is imprinted in my body:

Genie, you’re free.

The word of last week was; confidence. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to be confident.

---

This year the only thing I really truly want to manifest is confidence. I want to walk my talk. I want to walk with determination and be so fierce that no man can stop me. I want to be so sure of myself that no bad juju can hurt me. So determined that no man, no woman or no system can mess with my game. I want to be so certain and sure that I can bring any dream I have alive.

Think about it, when you are confident in your own self you can make anything happen. If you put your all your good vibes and positive thoughts in your step and walk with your head held high nobody can tell you anything. The power is within you and all you have to do is dig it out and take your power back!

The word of last week was; energetic. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to be energetic.

---

So, my energy level has been zero and I haven’t been able to move my physical body in the way I have wanted to lately. I never like to admit that I am sick because I feel like it makes me pathetic. But the reality is my body has been craving rest because something needs to be healed. I have slept a lot and I have been taking naps on the floor because I got so tired of my bed. I haven’t been able to drink coffee and that has made my productivity level go down even more. The only thing my I have been able to drink without getting a gag reflex is salt water. To top it all off my mind has been racing, jumping from thought to thought and it has been driving me crazy.

I have had a draining week and my emotions have been on a rollercoaster making me feel all sorts of things lately. Everything has been turned upside down, even my stomach. I haven’t been able to eat like normal and I have felt really low on energy.

I guess my body is trying to tell me something and I need to listen more carefully to all these signs that it is sending me. I think it is teaching me to rest properly and take control of my energy so that I can control my life. It is like life is trying to teach me all these lessons in real time while I go through my list of affirmations. It is so ironic.

This week I thought I would share a poem I wrote when I was feeling down last winter. It is about embodying that little wild girl or boy inside of you and living outside of the freaking box.

---

Visions

I found my power in the eyes of a wild girl 

who made her own rules and

had the world change to fit into her visions.

I would love to hear what makes you feel fearless and how you honor your inner child. Let me know in the comment section below.

The word of last week was; abundance. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose abundance.

---

What do you think about when you hear the word abundance? I think about money. I think overflowing waters surrounding a garden full of flowers and trees full of fresh ripe fruits. Imagine the Garden of Eden bursting of everything you could ever need to survive.

I have to admit this week I don’t know if I got the lesson right because I am still wondering about how it feels to truly have an abundant mindset. Whenever I feel these low vibrations, I look at nature for inspiration and see abundance in the trees, in the sunshine, and in the ocean. I remember that abundance is our birthright and that we can all have what we desire.

Sometimes our thoughts about money can be so rooted in how we think and act that we don’t even realize how limited our beliefs are. From a young age, we are taught that there isn’t enough money for everybody. Society has thought us that we should compete, that there isn’t enough of the good stuff to go around. We are taught to fight, to struggle and to work hard to get what we want. This scarcity mindset can sometimes make us feel separated from each other and envious of people who have what we desire.

One way to break that cycle of negative thinking and thoughts of lack is to be thankful for what you have. Feel gratitude for the things you have in your life and more of it will show up. We can’t hold a positive and negative thought at the same time. It is not possible to feel good and have low vibes simultaneously. Choose to feel gratitude and you will feel the shift.

The truth is we can all have what we desire the most. Having an abundant mindset means knowing that there is enough of everything to go around. If you see someone living the kind of life you wish you for yourself, use that energy to create your own reality. Instead of thinking bad thoughts about the person who has what you want, wish them well and allow yourself to manifest what you desire as well.

My tip for this week is;

1. Sit in an easy meditation pose.
2. Place your hands on your heart.
3. Take three deep breathes, in through your nose and out through your mouth.
4. Count and recall all the people and things in your life that you are grateful for right now.
5. Feel the peace wash over you.
6. Spread good vibes all around you.

Make sure to try the easy mediation any time this week and let me know if you feel the shift in the comment section below. I wish you a blissful week full of magical moments of gratitude.

The word of last week was; success. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to be successful.

---

What does success mean to you?

I have put such pressure on myself to become something. To be somebody. To get somewhere. I have forgotten to actually be here now. I have spent so much of my time fleeing from reality because I didn’t like it here and felt like there is someplace better out there for me. I have resisted reality for so long that it didn’t feel like home here anymore. Because of that, I have been blind to see what I truly have and for the last year, I have felt like a failure. But today, I am redefining what success means to me.

The following quote from the poet Maya Angelou sums up her view of success perfectly because it is so raw and simple;

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” ~Maya Angelou

The truth is I have a pretty nice life, I get to do what I want every day, I eat good food, I get to exercise and have the space I need to stretch myself. I have realized I haven’t allowed myself to be happy here because it is not where I wanted to be in life at this age. The truth is this is where I am at in life right now and I need to embrace it. Even though I don’t have everything I want on the outside, I know I have everything I need on the inside.

For the longest time, I have been battling with loving and accepting myself for who I am. Who I am at this moment is a fun, loving, spiritual human being who just wants to feel safe and loved in this world. I don’t need to have anything or be anyone else to be able to feel successful in life. Success means loving myself and being in peace with where I am at this moment.

From now on I am defining my success by how happy I am happy, how much freedom I have and how much fun I am having each day.
