    Joy…

    March |TEN

    Last weeks theme was; joy. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose joy!


    I have had the privilege to really slow down these last couple of weeks from work and I have used the time to connect to my body instead. I have been taking walks in the rain, going to the gym, exploring my yoga practice and doing some breathwork. I feel the most alive when my body is in motion and it gives me so much joy to move. There are periods in my life where I don’t exercise and it always makes me feel funky without knowing why. Life is always changing but for now, I really want to keep the momentum going and continue with my moving practice.

    Walking is my meditation and it makes me feel really centered and peaceful. Keeping in touch with nature helps me to make the right decisions at the right time. Nature has a way to speak if we are willing to listen. When I am in walking I get small inspirations that make my heart glow and right now, that makes me feel pure joy.

    Walking in the woods this afternoon I felt so alive and inspired. It made me feel really good to be out in nature and I had this thought; If these woods could talk, what would they say?

    We can learn a lot about life from just observing how nature works. Nature keeps on growing even though mankind keeps polluting it. The trees just keep on standing there, tall and proud and giving away new air. New oxygen is produced constantly even though toxic air is let out. There is so much serenity and clarity to be found in just observing how everything grows.

    The lesson I took from my walk was that if we learn how to take in all the negativity in the world, maybe we can transform it and turn it into something good. Pain, suffering, and heartbreak don’t have to be all bad if we allow ourselves to feel the negative and then transform it into something positive. Make lemonade out of the lemons life has given you, it might bring you joy instead.


    Being alive feels so much better when we are moving, breathing and changing. Instead of holding your emotions in and being stagnant see if you can shift your perspective through movement and allow yourself to get new feelings. It will give joy, I promise.

    Love,

    Mercury Retrograde Survival Strategies

    Everybody on social media is talking about Mercury retrograde. Read this to learn about my Mercury Retrograde Survival Strategies. What are the dos and don’ts? What can you expect from this time? Let’s find out!


    Mercury Retrograde Survival Strategies

    Mercury retrograde is the astrological explanation for everything that is going bad in your life right now. Mercury is the planet that rules all communication and when it is in retrograde three times a year for three weeks, shit (can) hit the fan. The truth is the planet is not really moving backward, it just appears that way from the earth as an optical illusion.


    The ruler of communication

    Since the planet is the ruler of communication, it can affect travel, technology, and contracts. During this time, flights and trains are often delayed and create a lot of stress for people who commute. Computers and smartphones have temporary malfunctions and emails or other documents can get lost in cyberspace during this time.

    Doublecheck who you send your emails to so you don’t send private emails to the wrong person. More accidents happen during the retrograde due to miscommunication, in both written and oral expression. Make sure you are calm when you speak so that you don’t say anything you’ll have to regret later. Also, you should back up your computer and save your files beforehand. A piece of advice is to not install new software during this time.

    Mercury retrograde Survival Strategies

    It also can affect contracts so if you are buying a new house or signing an agreement see if you can reschedule until Mercury is orbiting in the “right” direction again. There can be invisible terms hidden in your contract that can cost you a lot of money in the future or get you in trouble later. Don’t sign a lease for a new car or make big purchases either. If you have to sign papers just make sure you read it thoroughly and carefully before the ink dries.

    This is also not the best time to start a new job because you’ll likely get a different position than the one you thought you’d get. Same goes with starting a new relationship during these weeks because they probably won’t last for long. Remember this is just the worst case scenario and warnings of what might happen. If you can reschedule and move things around I would advise you to do that but obviously I understand some plans can not be rearranged to align with the stars.


    How to survive Mercury Retrograde

    The way to get through this period is to be aware of things not functioning properly and doublecheck your work before you send emails or texts. You can live your normal life, just make sure to take deep breathes when things are moving slowly.

    This is actually a good time to really slow down in life and look inwards. Take the time to journal, read and get to know yourself. Spend time in solitude and look for solutions instead of obsessing about what isn’t working. Communicate less and try to listen more to what life is teaching you during this period.

    During this time old friends, exes, and blasts from the past might resurface. People can pop up from the blue and it can be a fun time to just explore the relationships or get some closure. Either way, this is the ultimate time to redo everything and hopefully get a better outcome than before even if it is with only a realization that you have outgrown people and relationships.

    Mercury retrograde can be very frustrating but they are often helpful as well because we get to reassess, revisit, and redesign our plans. We get to rethink everything and slow down in our decisionmaking which gives us new ideas. Use the time wisely and remember that this too shall pass.


    I hope you found this article of Mercury Retrograde Survival Strategies to be helpful. The period of retrospection is beautiful and I wish you a smooth time filled with a lot of insight when it comes. Please leave a comment in the section below and tell me what your best strategy is for surviving the retrograde.

    Faith…

    March |NINE

    Time is moving so fast, February is over and it is officially March now. I love this time of year when the light is coming back and the days are becoming longer. There is so much life in the air and it gives me good vibes to know that spring is coming. Last weeks theme was; faith. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to have faith.


    Have you ever had this feeling where life feels like a joke? Like there is somebody up (or down) there laughing at us when we make our plans and dream of the future. I have had plenty of those situations where I feel like I can’t make a single decision because of fear that it is going to backfire on me. Oftentimes, when I am so close to giving up on my goals it sends me a lifeline to get back on track again. It makes me smile because whoever is in charge of the universe, she (or he) sure has a lot of humor.

    I am not sure what to think about whether there is such a thing called luck or karma, but I know I believe in divine timing. Things fall in place when we least expect them to and when we need to believe in the magic of this world. I don’t believe in holding on to hope because the word hope makes you think that there is an option to fail. Hold on to faith instead and to what you know you came into this world to do.

    I think what happens when we give up or stop trusting the universe it wants to give us a reason to keep believing. That is why we get the things we want when we let go of them on a metaphysical level. Often it makes our faith stronger and builds strength in our character.

    The magic recipe for how to manifest the life you want is to have faith that the things you want are coming and then surrender your plans. Let it unfold to you and you will get what is truly yours. Let go of the tension you are holding around it so that it can expand but be relentless in the pursuit of your dreams. You are here for a reason and that reason is not to watch Netflix and then die. What is your faith telling you to do right now?

    Release…

    February |EIGHT

    Last weeks theme was; release. So, if you are craving some daily affirmations, follow along and choose to release.


    Last week there was a strong full moon that caused a lot of tension in my body and my head. I felt so much of my own insecurities and it made me look at my own truth that I have been telling myself about my life. I needed the light to shine on my shadow self so that I could let go of what wasn’t right for me.

    The full moon was telling me to be honest about my own life. For the future, I need a happier self who knows who she is and why she is fighting for the things she wants. To clear all that is holding me back from being my highest self I need to let go of those old thoughts that aren’t serving me. If I want a new tomorrow to come, I need to release the past time and time again. But I can’t do that if I keep on thinking of my past as a mistake.

    The truth is that the past is always there. It is not going to change no matter how many sleepless nights you have thinking about all the things that you could have done anything differently. It is supposed to teach you a lesson and if the history keeps on repeating itself you are not paying attention to the teacher. Ask yourself if you are ready to release and choose to let go of the prisoners you hold in your mind so that the lessons can be learned.
