As you can tell by the title, today, I had a little run in with being “hangry” (disproportionately angry due to hunger). I got to experience how fun the Law of Attraction is under those conditions.

Unpopular belief: hard work is overrated and tapping into guidance is not cheating. Some of us refuse to use the tools, practices, and spiritual “gifts” we have, because we feel like if we didn’t work hard for it, we have an unfair advantage….
Well, I’m tired of struggling, when I know better. I know that I can sit down for 15 minutes and meditate and have the most beautifully aligned, showed up at 100% in all the roles in my life, not even tired when evening hits… type of day. I’ve done it so many times! But instead of doing that consistently, I spend every day worried about everything under the sun, rather than just go internal for a minute and get clear on my next steps.
Why do I do that? Because our society teaches us that if you didn’t work hard for it, you’re cheating the system. If you you get help, that’s unfair to those who are on their grind. We’re taught that “nothing good comes easy.” “No pain, no gain.” It’s only of value if it comes through “blood, sweat, and tears.”
Dafuq?
Yeah, no. I’m over that. I’ve struggled enough. I’ve fought enough. I’ve tried the hard way long enough….
Maybe sitting still to get clarity is annoying because I am trained to “get up and go.” However, I know that sitting still for those 15 minutes, can give me everything I need to have THE MOST productive, successful, fun, amazing day! I can proudly grab my “cheat sheet” at the start of my day and get so much more accomplished than I would “hitting the ground running.”
I’m over being in angst, frustrated, and just getting an eighth of my tasks done…. only being great at one or two of my roles in any given day.
I want to enjoy my life. I want to have more successes. I want to feel aligned throughout my day. I’m over trying to keep up with what society says, and what this business coach says, and what that influencer says. I’m going to make a commitment to getting MY personalized instructions for my day, and to check back in throughout the day. I’m done going it alone. It’s too uphill and exhausting. I’m prioritizing connecting with my inner knowing and so I can move forward with ease.
I’m done struggling for the good life. That finish line keeps gettin farther away. I’m gonna let it flow in with ease by following higher guidance.
I’m going to meditate and seek higher guidance. I don’t care, if that’s “not the way it’s done.” That sh*t works! Every. Single. Time.

In our society, it’s often viewed as irresponsible, petty, and immature to place blame outside of ourselves. Today, I acknowledged that blame is an important step toward inner healing.

A lot of people feel it’s necessary to have a conversation with a person who has wronged them and hear the individual admit to, and apology for, their wrongs. I personally don’t feel this is necessary (although it can be helpful and affirming).
When I say that blame can be an important step, I mean that acknowledging where the problem started is important. Telling the person who did it that they are wrong and blah blah blah is not as important. We don’t have to ever tell them AND I believe it’s necessary that we tell ourselves.
Far too often those who have been hurt continue to hurt themselves by placing the blame on their own shoulders. “If I had been smarter….” “If I wasn’t at that place at that time….” “If I had just listened more and followed directions, they wouldn’t have….” We have an endless flow of what ifs that place the blame on us, when in many situations, those details do not change the fact that someone did something toward us that they shouldn’t have.
People who have been victimized, abused, or otherwise mistreated, tend to be self-critical. On today’s episode of Share and Let’s Live! I talk about how this practice hinders healing.
If someone threw me in a pit and is now looking down on me telling me I’m a loser for being in a pit, I shouldn’t be joining in with them thinking, “They’re right. Look at me in this pit. I’m a loser.” That doesn’t even make sense. But an adult that struggles with insecurities due to what they don’t have, or have yet to become, will wallow in that state feeling bad about themselves without ever thinking, “I wonder where my self-esteem issues started.”
If they took the time to ponder this, they may come to realize that the reason they aren’t ahead of the game is because they had an extremely critical and verbally abusive adult in their home environment that tore down their confidence. That same critical adult still criticizes them to this day. So the same person who caused their issues, is looking down on them complaining about their issues.
It’s in acknowledging the absurdity of this—and in naming the real cause—that they are able to truly begin to move forward. It’s really hard to pull yourself up when you’re weighed down by self-criticism and #blame.
