Spring Clean Your Mind – Reset, Refresh and Renew

Spring Clean Your Mind

After a long winter, we could all use some renewal to awaken our best self.  Practicing mindfulness techniques can help clear the clutter and dust away mental cobwebs.  We do it for our homes and gardens but what about our minds?  As the warmer weather approaches, we’re sharing some tips to refresh, reset and renew; to spring clean your mind and step into the season with more energy and clarity.

1. Clear Out Mental Clutter

Much like sorting through a cluttered closet, it’s essential to assess the thoughts and habits that no longer serve you. Ask yourself:

  • What thought patterns are holding me back?

  • What worries or regrets am I carrying that I no longer need?

  • Where can I shift my focus to bring more positivity into my life?

Try journaling or meditation to bring awareness to mental clutter and let go of unnecessary baggage.  With a clear mind, you’re ready for a refresh.

2. Refresh Your Daily Routine

Winter may have left you feeling sluggish or stuck in a routine that no longer energizes you. Spring is an opportunity to shake things up:

  • Start your mornings with intentional movement like stretching, yoga, or a brisk walk.

  • Nourish yourself with fresh, seasonal foods that boost your energy.

  • Incorporate mindfulness practices into your day, like deep breathing or gratitude reflection.

A small shift in your routine can have a big impact on your mindset and mood.

3. Detox Your Digital Space

We spend so much time online that digital clutter can feel just as overwhelming as physical mess. Try a digital detox to create mental space:

  • Unfollow accounts that don’t uplift you.

  • Limit screen time, especially before bed.

  • Organize your emails and delete old files.

Less digital noise allows more room for real-life connection and clarity.

4. Let Go of Emotional Baggage

Spring cleaning isn’t just about discarding old items—it’s also about emotional release. Take a moment to acknowledge any lingering feelings of resentment, frustration, or sadness. Consider:

  • Writing a letter (even if you don’t send it) to release unspoken emotions.

  • Practicing forgiveness, both for yourself and others.

  • Engaging in self-care rituals that soothe and replenish you, such as a warm bath, massage, or nature walk.

Emotional clarity brings lightness and a sense of renewal.

5. Plant New Seeds for Growth

With a refreshed mind, you can now focus on growth. Just as flowers bloom in spring, you can nurture new habits, ideas, and aspirations:

  • Set one or two meaningful goals for the season ahead.

  • Surround yourself with positive influences who uplift and inspire you.

  • Embrace curiosity—read a new book, take a class, or explore a hobby.

By planting new seeds, you’ll cultivate a mindset that flourishes throughout the year.

A Fresh Start Awaits

Spring cleaning your mind isn’t about perfection; it’s about making space for clarity, peace, and new possibilities. By clearing mental clutter, refreshing your routines, and embracing emotional renewal, you’ll step into the season with a lighter heart and a rejuvenated spirit.

So take a deep breath, welcome the fresh air, and give yourself the mental refresh, reset and renewal you deserve. 🌿

Leading With Heart

Changes in Leadership

Dramatic changes in the world over the past decade have resulted in a changing workforce.  We are in a time when emotional health is at the forefront of everything we do, including how we perform at work as leaders, teachers, and mentors and at home as parents.  As a result, what we need out of people in leadership roles has changed as well.  Fundamentally, this means out leaders need to adapt to thrive.

The Power of Compassion in Leadership

In a world that often prioritizes profit, efficiency, and data-driven decisions, leading with heart is not just a refreshing approach to leadership, but a necessary one.  Compassionate leadership is not about being overly emotional or making decisions solely based on feelings—it’s about fostering connection, understanding, and a culture where people feel valued and inspired to give their best.

The Essence of Heart-Centered Leadership

Leading with heart means leading with authenticity, empathy, and integrity. It requires a deep awareness of one’s own values and a commitment to fostering growth in themselves and others. The heart-centered leader is one who understands their own emotional compass and is brave to do their own inner work and healing. Leaders who lead with heart prioritize relationships, recognize the humanity in their teams, and create an environment where trust and psychological safety thrive.

Why Compassion Matters in Leadership

  1. Stronger Team Connection – Employees who feel seen and heard are more engaged and loyal.

  2. Increased Productivity – When people feel valued, they are more motivated to contribute.

  3. Resilience in Challenges – Compassionate leaders inspire teams to navigate adversity with courage and unity.

  4. Positive Organizational Culture – A heart-centered leader cultivates a workplace where kindness and collaboration flourish.

The Lasting Impact

Leaders who lead with heart don’t just build successful businesses—they build thriving communities. Their legacy is not only in revenue and results but in the people whose lives they’ve touched. When compassion and leadership intertwine, the result is a workplace that fosters both personal and professional growth.

Are you ready to lead with heart? Learn all this and more in Julie’s newest book “The Heart Centered Leader”.

Leading with heart creates your BIGGEST impact

Being able to lead with heart sounds easy and can be!  To maximize impact, it’s important to practice self care – which, admittedly, can be difficult in the depths of a cold and dreary winter.   That’s why I’ve prepared some great tips to help get you into the right headspace so you can be your best heart-centered leader!

  1. Nourish from Within – Enjoy seasonal superfoods like citrus, dark chocolate, and warming herbal teas to support your mood and immunity. 🍊🍵

  2. Move Your Body, Boost Your Mind – Whether it’s yoga, pilates, or a brisk winter walk, staying active helps shake off sluggishness. 🏋️‍♀️❄️

  3. Get Social, Stay Connected – Combat isolation with cozy get-togethers, wellness retreats, or spa days with friends. Laughter is the best therapy! 🥂💆‍♀️

  4. Glow Up with Self-Care – Treat yourself to hydrating facials, body treatments, or an at-home spa night. Your skin (and soul) will thank you. ✨🧖‍♀️

  5. Embrace the Light – Maximize daylight exposure, open your curtains, or try light therapy to keep your energy levels up. ☀️

  6. Find Your Cozy Ritual – Whether it’s journaling, reading, or mindful meditation, create a daily ritual that brings you warmth and joy. 📖🕯️

Follow These Simple Steps to Manifest Your Dreams with Ease in 2025

Follow These Simple Steps to Manifest Your Dreams with Ease in 2025

 

The Holidays are over, it is the middle of winter and you feel the pressure of a new year beginning. This time of year can feel daunting and even a bit depressing. What happens with a lot of people is they start the new year off with ambitious goals to finally make the changes they want to see in their life, but this can come with a lot of pressure and create even more stress.

We tend to be hard on ourselves this time of year, we put pressure on ourselves to hit our goals and stick to our resolutions. There is an element to this that is great to get some motivation, but the flip side is it can create feelings of overwhelm and the good habits tend to slip, by the time we reach February.

Want this to feel different this year? Ready for some ease in 2025?

These 3 simple strategies will help you create with ease, reduce stress and allow you to make lifestyle changes and resolutions that will last the whole year.

 

1. Have Micro Goals.

Big changes don’t happen overnight, and that’s okay. The best way to reset for the new year is to start small, with micro-goals that build momentum over time*.* ✨

Think of micro-goals as tiny, achievable wins that help you feel accomplished without the overwhelm. These small steps create the energy you need to tackle your bigger goals throughout the year. 💪

Here are some ideas for micro-goals this January:

🌱 Drink an extra glass of water each day.

🌱 Declutter one drawer or corner of your home.

🌱 Spend 5 minutes journaling your thoughts or intentions.

🌱 Take a 10-minute walk daily, even if it’s just around the block.

🌱 Stretch for 5 minutes every morning or evening.

🌱 Send a kind message to a friend or family member.

🌱 Replace 5 minutes of scrolling with reading a book or listening to a podcast.

🌱 Make your bed every morning (a small win to start the day).

🌱 Write down one thing you’re grateful for at the end of each day.

🌱 Try a new healthy recipe this week.

Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small. Celebrate your wins, and watch how these tiny shifts build into something amazing. 🌟

2. Spend 5 Minutes a Day Feeling Your Intended Results.

This is a simple exercise that is the magic ingredient in manifesting or magnetizing your goals. Most of us get really disappointed when we work so hard but still feel like we are never catching up to what we really want to create. We think about what our goal is and then we go into an action plan. Over time this begins to feel hard so we can feel disappointed and give up.

To create more ease, spend five minutes a day feeling the goal or vision as if it has already happened. This brings the emotional element into goal creating or manifestation which acts like a fertilizer to our dreams because the subconscious mind responds to emotions. If we are constantly “trying” or “working hard” from the emotion of frustration, or lack then the subconscious mind responds to this. When we feel the goal in our body as if it has happened and sit in this feeling for few minutes a day we are now feeling joy, abundance peace and our subconscious mind can now respond to these emotions instead which is like rocket fuel for our dreams.

5 minute a day exercise:

  • Go to a quiet space where you will not be disturbed
  • Play some relaxing music
  • Sit or lie down in a comfortable position
  • Imagine your self at the end, meaning you have achieved your goal or vision. How does this feel in your body? What do you see? Who are you with? What are you doing? How does it smell? – crystalize the vision as clearly as possible.
  • Turn the volume up on those emotions you are feeling as if the goal has happened.
  • Remember this is the magic ingredient (the feelings) or the emotional side of manifesting.

 

3. Gratitude for what ‘Is’.

Having goals is great, we are always creating so it is powerful to give our creations a direction so we become conscious about it. However, we also need to be in the moment, to recognize the beauty in the ‘now’, the magic that is all around us. The best way to do this is to spend time in gratitude. To think and feel all the things we are already grateful.

You can do this by having a gratitude journal, or simply closing your eyes and thinking of 3 things a day you are grateful for.

This gratitude practice will:

  • Reduce stress
  • Allow you to feel the magic that is all around
  • Raise your vibration and energy

The best part is with gratitude you raise your energy which allow for your creations to come with more ease, you magnetize rather than chase. It also reminds us to enjoy the journey.

Here is to a magical 2025!

With Love,

Turning Your Vision into Reality: The Four Essential Elements

woman thinking

Turning Your Vision into Reality: The Four Essential Elements

Do you believe you are worthy of your heartfelt desires?

Turning your vision into reality requires a commitment to nurturing your dreams and aligning yourself with your deepest desires. Here are the four essential elements that will help you manifest your vision:

  1. Clarity
    The foundation of any successful vision is clarity. Allow yourself to dream without limits, giving yourself full permission to desire what you truly want. The clearer and more specific your vision, the easier it becomes to bring it to life. Clarity helps you focus your energy and attention, creating a detailed mental image of what you want to achieve. The more vivid your vision, the more powerfully you can attract the resources, opportunities, and people needed to manifest it.
  2. Embody It
    Embodying your vision means aligning yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually with your desired outcome. Rather than seeing your vision as something distant that you need to chase, view it as an integral part of who you are. Imagine your vision as a movie playing in your mind, where you are the main character living out your dream. This mental rehearsal helps to internalize the vision, making it feel real and attainable. By embodying your vision, you remove the separation between your current reality and your desired future, bridging the gap between thought and manifestation.
  3. Feel It
    Emotions are the fuel that drives manifestation. To accelerate the realization of your vision, immerse yourself in the feelings associated with its fulfillment. Feel the love, joy, gratitude, and excitement as if your dream has already come true. These positive emotions act like fertilizer, nourishing your vision and encouraging it to grow. The more you can cultivate these feelings, the stronger the magnetic pull of your vision becomes, drawing it closer to your reality.
  4. Allow It
    Finally, allow your vision to manifest by stepping out of your own way. Often, doubts, fears, and feelings of unworthiness act as barriers to your success. Acknowledge these blockers, and consciously choose to release them. Affirm your worthiness and repeat positive affirmations such as, “I am worthy of my desires,” and “I release all resistance holding me back from my dreams.” By allowing your vision to unfold without interference, you create a clear path for it to become reality.

Summary

The key to turning your vision into reality lies in these four essential elements: gaining clarity on what you truly want, embodying your vision as an intrinsic part of yourself, cultivating the positive emotions associated with its fulfillment, and allowing it to manifest by removing any self-imposed barriers. When these elements are in harmony, your vision naturally transforms from a dream into reality.

The Power of Women Supporting Women

The Power of Women Supporting Women

 

Magical Things

One of the most magical things I get to witness when hosting our Hypnosis Healers Retreats is the power that happens when a group of like-minded women get in the same room.  We see women supporting women. There is a collective belief that begins to form where you truly believe anything is possible. You can feel the energy rise, people’s eyes get brighter with seeing and believing that they can turn the volume up on their dreams and start to believe that they are possible.

Having a whole room filled with women holding that belief for you is like nothing I have ever witnessed before. Think of it like that special friend in your life where you feel safe to be vulnerable, where you feel safe to share your wildest dreams, where you know you will be encouraged rather than discouraged. Where you will be told “of course you can” vs. “no you can’t”. Now imagine that feeling amplified because it is not just one special friend but many holding the space for you to dream, to grow, to reach new heights.

I get goose bumps as I write this, because the power of women supporting women is magical.
  • It lifts us to new heights that we couldn’t think was possible on our own.
  • It stretches our imaginations as to what is possible.
  • It turns our limitations into limitless potential.
  • It is like having a bunch of cheerleaders routing for your success. As a facilitator, I am always reminded of why we do what we do. It to witness the healing and aha moments where women get to feel their true worthiness.

On our last retreat one of the highlights for me was during our closing circle. One of the attendees shared that for the first time in her life, she truly felt worthy. Then she went on to say that when she looked in the mirror, she swore the face looking back at her looked younger. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life, that is the magic that women supporting women can create.

How Often are You Supported?

For many of us unfortunately we do not experience this support often enough. Whether we have grown up in a competitive world where we believe that someone else’s success impedes our own, or we have not had the privilege of surrounding ourselves with emotionally healthy women that can hold that space for us.  I often hear from women and have experienced it in my own life that women can be nasty to each other. We can criticize and look for faults with too much ease. Unfortunately, this causes us to be guarded to protect our hearts. The most devastating thing is it can dim our light and make us feel small.

This feeling of being small can translate into not feeling worthy which can manifest in many negative ways.  Such as, not feeling worthy to get the promotion, not feeling worthy to attract our soulmate not feeling worthy to our rightful abundance, and ultimately can be not feeling worthy to feel our joy and so on.

Now imagine a powerful 3 days, where those emotional shackles that hold you back in your life can be healed. Imagine the feeling of being liberated from some of the trauma that has made you believe for any period that you are not worthy. This is the power that we have as women and the best part is when we believe in someone else our own light shines brighter. It is a healing experience to support one another and to be supported.

I know we are all meant to experience the feeling of being seen and heard, of knowing that you are never alone. This feeling of unlocking the power that is within and using that power now.

This is your life and you are meant to shine your light.

The power of women supporting women creates a collective energy that is so bright and powerful; people will ask what you have been doing.

If you are ready to shine your light, please join us on our next retreat.

Spots fill up quickly so act fast.  You deserve to live as your authentic self! 💚

The Power of Your Words and How You Can Change Your Life

We have so many superpowers that can immediately change our lives, and yet we do not always pay enough attention.

One of the biggest superpowers we have is the power of our words. We underestimate how words affect our reality.  Working in the emotional health space I have seen how detrimental words can be in that we can carry emotional shackles from the time we are young based on what others have said to us. These emotional shackles can affect our confidence, our belief in ourselves and for many we can be holding ourselves back or keeping ourselves small all based on the effects that people’s words have had on us from the time we were a child.

The good news

As powerful as words can be to create trauma or negatively impact our abilities or trust in self, they also have the opposite effect by appropriately changing words to have a more positive impact.

The words we tell ourselves carry more power than what anyone else says to us. The emotional healing we can get from changing our inner dialogue to a more positive one can almost immediately create a change in our reality.

For example, if you are used to saying “This is so hard”, “It is hard for me to do this”, “Nothing comes easy in life”, then you are essentially programing “Hard” into your subconscious mind and as a result things do feel hard. I know for me this program was deeply coded in me from the time I was a kid. There came a point in my life where I hit rock bottom burnout and knew I needed to make a change. I tried to change my outer world with no luck because the power of change is within. Then I changed the dialogue in my own head and my biggest shift was replacing the word ‘Hard’ with ‘Ease’.

Incredible things started happening once I did this. Ease became my more familiar mantra. When things felt hard, I stopped and said no, this comes to me with ease. Scaling a business with ease, writing two books, raising teenagers etc. all shifted when I shifted the words within my head. This does not mean you will never face challenges however the challenges become growth opportunities, and steps to leap ahead rather than weigh you down or rock your confidence. Changing our words is about healthy living.  It is important to teach our kids this concept so that they understand the power within to create an incredible life. Words hold energy and being mindful of what we tell ourselves is the most self-loving and empowering tool we have.

Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work implies that our intentions and words carry weight and influences the world around us. His work suggests a stewardship of language and thought, proposing that the quality of our interactions could literally reshape the physical world. For example, this image shows a frozen water crystals under a microscope. One influenced by the words “I Can’t Do It” the other with “I Can Do It”.

Power Word Exercise: 💚

Take a piece of paper and outline 3 hearts on your paper.

In each one of the hearts write down your 3 power words you are embodying for the rest of this year.

Steps:

  • Close your eyes and connect with your breath. Breath in for 4 counts hold for 2, breath out for 6. Repeat this 4-6 times until you feel yourself calm and centre.
  • Let the breath flow with ease and ask yourself for your 3 power words. Let your heart speak to you and don’t question what comes.
  • Write these 3 words down in your hearts, infuse them with love energy.
  • One by one close your eyes and feel the energy of each word in your body.
  • Use your paper as a visual anchor so you can look at your power words each day. This will help to code your subconscious mind.

My 3 power words this year are:

  1. Ease
  2. Vibrance
  3. Leap

Other great words that I have gotten from my clients that you can use for inspiration:

  • Freedom
  • Movement
  • Healthy
  • Unstoppable
  • Capable
  • Confident
  • Fun
  • Enjoy
  • Peace
  • Ease
  • Connection
  • Me First
  • Priority
  • Resilient
  • Belief
  • Faith

Words carry energy, everything is energy, hence the power of our words have the power to change things we experience in our lives.

Finding Joy This Time of Year – Embracing the Shorter Days and Winter Months

Finding Joy This Time of Year – Embracing the Shorter Days

Many of us approach this time of year with a bit of dread. The days are darker, we are seeing less sun, and our energy tends to drop and of course the dreaded cold is coming.

What if we could look at it all differently and embrace this time of year?

Rather than wishing for spring, here are some tips to embrace the time of year and find your joy in this moment.

Mental upgrade: “I GET to enjoy the change of season” – there are many gifts that come with the change of season. What is your list of things you ‘GET’ to do? Here are a few of my favorites.
    1. Enjoy more warm cups of tea.
    2. Indulge in peppermint mochas from time to time.
    3. Light a fire
    4. Watch more movies and cuddle with my favorite people and blanket.
    5. Wear some of my favorite vests, cozy sweaters, hats, scarfs.
    6. Go for walks with no bugs.
    7. Favorite time of year for hikes in the woods.
    8. Have friends over for home cooked meals – lots of soups, and stews.
    9. Make more cozy meals.
Give yourself permission to relax and reflect.
    1. This is a great time of year to reflect inward. I always recommend doing more journaling this time of year. Setting intentions for what you are creating next in your life. Also doing some gratitude journaling to anchor you in the present moment and feel the joy of the NOW.
    2. Relax – this is a great time of year to recharge, just like bears go into hibernation we need to do a little of the same. Maybe go to bed earlier, spend more time meditating, have more quiet time to conserve and replenish our energy. Embrace this time to really relax more with quieter nights at home.
    3. Put a couple of things on the Calendar to look forward to: This helps with the blah days. Book a dinner out with friends, maybe a staycation or holiday. Plan a get together with friends, book a spa day. Whatever brings you joy, make a point to schedule things on the Calendar. Having something to look forward to is always a mood booster.

One thing I was reminded of recently is how precious life is. Life is not meant to be wishing our days away, rather to enjoy them to the fullest. It would be a shame to just be living for the summer months and not enjoy the beauty that the NOW brings. There are many gifts to the shorter days and the colder weather, we might just have to look at it through a new perspective. I love spring and summer, and have also learned to embrace the cooler months because life is short, and I don’t want to spend my time wishing it away.

Wishing you many gifts and blessings this time of year.

With love,

Nature’s Frequencies on Wellbeing

Nature’s Frequencies on Wellbeing

The concept of nature having a “frequency” can refer to a variety of patterns and cycles found in nature.

For instance, the Schumann resonances are electromagnetic waves that resonate around Earth’s atmosphere and are often associated with the “frequency” of the Earth, typically around 7.83 Hz. These resonances have been a topic of interest in the scientific community for their potential impacts on human biology and behavior.

In a more abstract sense, “nature’s frequency” can also refer to the ambiance or the overall energy of a natural setting, which many people find calming and restorative.

It’s certainly true that there are many rhythmic, cyclical patterns in nature, and that interacting with these patterns can have profound effects on human health and well-being.

Nature’s Frequencies is Recognized for Restorative Properties on Mental Well-being

The sound of ocean waves or rustling leaves can reduce stress and anxiety levels by triggering relaxation responses in the brain, leading to a sense of tranquility and inner peace. Similarly, these frequencies can foster concentration, making them a popular choice for mindfulness practices and meditation.

Physical Health Benefits Associated with Nature’s Frequencies

Some studies suggest that exposure to sunlight’s frequency can help regulate sleep cycles and improve mood by managing melatonin and serotonin production in our body. Likewise, the grounding effect experienced when walking barefoot on earth (often referred to as “earthing”) is thought to neutralize negative ions in our body. Earthing, potentially reduces inflammation and improving overall health.

Encourages Outdoor Activity

Interacting with nature’s frequencies encourages outdoor activity. This engagement not only promotes physical exercise but also provides opportunities for social interaction and bonding, which are both essential for emotional health and building strong, supportive communities.

Nature’s Frequencies on Creativity

Natural settings and their associated sounds can stimulate the brain and foster a creative mindset. It is also beneficial in various domains, from problem-solving to artistic expression.

The benefits of nature’s frequencies extend across various aspects of human health, fostering mental tranquility, physical well-being, and creative thinking. As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, finding ways to maintain our connection with these natural rhythms and patterns could be key to ensuring our holistic health and well-being.

Nature’s Role in Becoming Conscious

Spending time in nature can greatly assist in maintaining focus on the present moment, a concept central to mindfulness, the practice of bringing one’s attention to the experiences occurring in the present moment.

Natural settings, with their intricate sights, sounds, and smells, provide rich stimuli that can anchor attention in the present moment. When you’re paying attention to the rustling of leaves, the smell of damp earth, or the feel of a cool breeze on your skin, you’re actively engaging with the here and now, rather than dwelling on past memories or future concerns.

This can be especially beneficial for those struggling with anxiety or stress, as these conditions often involve excessive worrying about the past or the future. Being immersed in nature and attuning to its sensory experiences can be a grounding experience, pulling one out from the whirl of thoughts and offering respite from mental stressors.

Moreover, nature tends to operate at a slower pace than our often hectic modern lives. This slower rhythm can help us slow down as well.  It reduces the tendency to rush or multitask and enabling us to engage more fully with our current experiences.

In this way, spending time in nature can help promote a state of mindfulness, increasing awareness of the present moment and contributing to overall mental well-being.

Are you Ready to Let Go?

Are you Ready to Let Go?

 

The willingness to let go this fall is a beautiful reminder of the natural rhythms that happen within the change of season. Have you noticed that fall is a time of letting go? We see the trees literally letting go of their leaves, and when we do this from an emotional healing place, it gives us space to let in the new.

Before it gives us space to let in the new, it also gives us clarity; clarity of what we want. Clarity of what our new program can be. On more dreams, bigger dreams, and aspirations.

When we are bogged down with limiting beliefs, whether that’s insecurities, feelings of not being good enough, it would do us good to let go of the things that don’t serve us. Are you repeating a program from the time you were a child that has held you in darkness and not allowed you to shine your light?

What are you willing to and permitting to release and let go to create clarity; to empty your tank? Let’s look right now at all the things that you can let go of.

Old Habits:

October can be a great time to reflect on unhealthy or unproductive habits and consider letting go of them to make room for personal growth.

Grudges and Resentments:

Just as trees shed their leaves to start anew, individuals can release grudges and resentments that may be holding them back from moving forward in their relationships and personal well-being.

Stress and Anxiety:

Autumn can be a time to embrace tranquility and reduce stress. Letting go of excessive worry or anxiety can help create mental space for a sense of calm.

Material Possessions:

As you witness nature simplifying itself, you might consider decluttering your own life by letting go of material possessions you no longer need.

Negative Self-Talk:

Shedding self-doubt and negative self-talk can be a powerful way to promote mental and emotional growth.

Expectations:

Release unrealistic expectations you may have placed on yourself or others, allowing for more authentic and less stressful relationships and experiences.

Regrets:

Just as the falling leaves can symbolize the shedding of regrets, it’s a good time to reflect on past mistakes, learn from them, and let go of any lingering regrets that may be hindering personal growth.

Past Attachments:

Whether it’s relationships, memories, or experiences that no longer serve you, October can be a time to release attachments to the past and embrace the present moment.

Fears:

Face your fears and consider letting go of irrational or limiting fears that may be holding you back from pursuing your goals and dreams.

Expectations of Perfection:

Let go of the need to be perfect in every aspect of your life. Instead, embrace imperfection as a natural part of the human experience.

When we link the idea of letting go with hypnosis, we achieve an emotional detox. The healing power is really in just releasing and letting go so that the magic of transformation can happen.

Tips on how we let go when we notice the leaves falling from the trees.

  1. Become consciously aware of the thoughts in your mind that are creating disharmony, meaning emotional discomfort. You can do this by questioning your emotions and asking, “What is my emotion connected to?” “What thoughts or programs am I telling myself?” Once we can pinpoint the thought then we can simply do a tapping exercise to let that go.
  2. Do a brain dump. Write in your journal all the negative things you’re ready to let go of. Just do a brain dump on a journal very cathartically to let it out. You can burn that page, ceremoniously if you like. The key is to just let go of what no longer serves while sitting in presence.

The idea of letting go during October when the trees shed their leaves can be a metaphorical reflection on personal growth, change, and renewal.

Want to create your magic?

Want to create your magic?

Turn up the volume on your SELF-WORTH.

I have learned in my own life and what I have witnessed with my clients over the years is that real magic begins to happen when we can really feel, understand, and believe in our own WORTH.

So much of our disharmony or fear, anger, frustration reflects how we feel about ourselves. We may feel frustrated because something we wanted so badly has not happened. We may feel hurt because we were rejected by a client or maybe a love interest. Or we feel disappointed when something does not work out the way we anticipated.  This all then feeds into a deeper well of not feeling worthy enough.

The issue is, most of us do not understand or connect the dots with this having anything to do with our feelings of lack of self-worth.  Many times, we just feel it is bad luck or worse we criticize ourselves by saying things like; “I’m never going to find a love, I am never going to get this promotion.” etc.

Let’s break this cycle now and create some magic.

I have seen so much magic happen, almost instantly, with myself and my clients when we re-program our minds to feel our unlimited worth.

When we act from a place of elevated worth, we feel worthy to be happy, we feel worthy to relax, we feel worthy to fulfill our desires, we feel worthy to love what we do for a living. It is unlimited to what we can attract that feels so amazing when we act from a place of self-worth.

The real magic in life is knowing your own worth without having to rely on the outside world to give you this validation. It is knowing you are worthy because you are here, because you breathe. It is not having to accomplish another goal to feel it, to achieve a better grade to feel it, to get recognition to feel it. These outside validations feel great, but they are fleeting. The feeling does not last because we become addicted to them and need more of them to keep feeling worthy.  It is not true inner peace; it is only temporary.

Creating real inner peace is knowing you are worthy no matter what.

To know that you are enough right now and that you don’t need to prove anything to anyone to be worthy.

When we understand this and feel this, the best thing happens; all the things you want start to happen in flow.  They do not need to feel like a struggle. It just happens. And yes, it feels good when it happens, but it certainly does not define your worth. Because you already know you are worthy regardless of what is happening around you.

That is living in magic. That is what is possible for you.

To work on reprograming the mind, you can do this through hypnosis and getting our body into a relaxed state so we can begin a new dominant thought around self-worth and love. A new belief and knowing of our worth. Becoming aware and focusing on our core being is vital in detecting our worth. One of the best ways to becoming aware of who we really are is to temporarily let go of the numerous titles we identify with, i.e. a Mother, a Sister, our career,  etc. What is left?

To help you do this I have created a beautiful meditation on Self-Worth.

My suggestion is to listen to this before bed every night and allow your subconscious mind to get a new program and unlock the well and depths of your WORTH.

You got this.

Enjoy the magic.
