I think about all that is going on and that has been going on for the past year and it seems almost overwhelming. And there is one thought that always keeps me going when I wonder if my aspirations are too much….

“There is always a way you just have to find it.”

This is a mantra I have said since I was a kid. I have no idea where it came from but I can look back and see it is my cure to any limiting beliefs that come my way (either internally or from someone else).

And this is what we are talking about today. So let’s dive into what a limiting belief is before coming back round to this mantra and how it can help you.

Creativity isn't about producing something pretty. It's not about the end product at all. Creativity is an energy that you align with, a certain head space where you are open and receptive. To tap into this creative force you need to step onto the connection bridge. Anyone can do it and in this episode I talk about how you can too.

Yin and Yang. Light and dark. We need contrast to appreciate the light.

We need opposites for balance to occur.

Opposing forces keep our world from falling apart. Eternal sunny days may sound lovely but we need the rain. The rain is our dark moments, the emotions we don't want. And yet the rain is a vital ingredient that allows the earth to flourish when the sun comes out.

We need our shadow selves and yet we lock this aspect away when others are around. We even lock it away from ourselves.

We act almost as if this aspect of ourselves is a distorted family member locked in a closet because we are ashamed and embarrassed of the way he acts and presents himself.

Yet the shadow self is worthy on so many levels and today we are talking about why and how you can embrace and even be proud of him.

I spoke of a coin. Light on one side. Shadow the other. One embraced and the other ignored and shunned. But it is the same coin. And every coin is a gift. Sometimes a coin is presented to us with the light side. We grab it, hold it near and usually are happy to show the world.

But most times we are presented coins with shadow showing. We cower from it. Disgusted with what we just saw in ourselves and we try to throw it away. But it is our coin and cannot be discarded and so it returns. Eventually we shove it in the bottom of our back packs to carry round as the burden we see it as.

What if we took the time to learn to flip the coin and see the other side? Imagine if all the negativity you see in you could in fact be gifts that you have not harnessed yet?

The shadow self is a gift.

I remember when I first started  learning about my intuition… or even that I had one! I was a teenager and I loved the idea of something smarter than me guiding me. But I had no idea how to even reach for it. 

I was completely disconnected and it felt like someone handing me a book written in Spanish and saying now read this and understand it. I don't know Spanish and even though I might hold that book and look at the words with true desire in my heart to understand, there is no way I could. 

Tapping into intuition, honestly felt like that back then. In the beginning I was trying to jump straight to full understanding, loud and clear... But, if I want to read that Spanish book, first I will need to go elsewhere to learn and practice before being able to understand the Spanish text. 

It's the same with your intuition. First you need to learn and practice and then over time you will get better and your intuition will become clearer to you.

So if you are brand new on this journey and have the desire to be more intuitive, but no idea how to move forward, just know that you CAN move forward and today, we are talking about HOW you can do that.

Apocalypse: a "revelation", "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling."

Many say we are in an apocalypse right now, and I would have to agree. The world is not coming to an end but the veil is being lifted and all the things that where hidden or easy to ignore are now coming into the spotlight…. And it is uncomfortable. And it’s painful. 

But just because a festering wound is covered up, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. As we uncover these wounds in our society and our world, we are exposing them and allowing the opportunity for healing to begin. Some wounds are bigger and deeper than others and as such, will take a longer time and more resources than others.

It is not the world apocalypse that I want to talk about today however. Today, I want to talk about our internal apocalypse, because without the internal apocalypse happening, the wounds that are exposed in our external world will not heal.

Our routines were shaken up in recent months, many of us have found the veil lifted on all manner of false beliefs and patterns. And with this happening, many have hungered for normal life to resume so that they can busy themselves and forget what came up in the quiet that was enforced on them.

This is not a good thing. With life now returning to some semblance of normality, we run the risk of stalling the internal apocalypse that has begun…. And in my eyes that is a missed opportunity for healing and thus creating a better life for ourselves on the other side of this apocalypse.

Do you love and respect yourself enough to stand up and celebrate what you have accomplished?
And if so, do you love and respect yourself enough to be OK and even enjoy the seasons where you are not productive?
There are seasons of life and we cycle through them whether we like it or not.
There are seasons of hustle, action, productivity and creative output and then seasons of introspection, hermitting and incubation.
There are seasons of wins and successes and there are seasons of failure and difficult learnings.
All seasons are equally important and necessary in the support of its counterpart. And YET..... we tend to value some over the others. We shy away from the darker seasons, afraid to fully surrender to them.
To love yourself wholly, is to love yourself during all of the seasons through the cycles you live.

What is emotional release anyway and why should we invest our precious time in it?
The answer is simple (sort of). Which would you prefer? Your emotional baggage surfacing on your own terms.... Or at some unexpected time when your body can't contain it any longer? I know which one I choose! 
In this episode you will learn all things about Emotional Release, what it is and how you can shape it to be emotional relief. 

I am sitting outside, wrapped in blankets as I do my morning meditation. I feel pretty content. I am excited, optimistic and full of quiet hope for what is evolving in this beautiful world of ours.

We are in changing times and my work is to remain balanced, grounded and to keep my head from being influenced too much from the extreme opinions on a range of topics, which have much energy behind them right now. 

I also feel a whisper in my ear to share this awareness with those ready to listen. Clarity and truth are what I seek to perceive and to keep the knowledge front and centre that everything put out into the world goes through the filter of that person’s beliefs and that I also receive through a filter of my own bias. 

As autonomous human beings we need to give ourselves the time to sort our thoughts and beliefs and to ask the questions

Is this true? 

Could the opposite be true? 

The way I feel about this thing…. Is it because of how I truly feel or have I taken on board someone else’s agenda?

In this week’s episode of Purpose Balance & Burnout I am asking you the question, Is your mind your own or are your thoughts and beliefs influenced by others?
