Friends,

Which statement do you agree with the most and why?

[bellaandthebabe]

TODAY, PRAY FOR THE QUALITIES AND CHARACTER YOU NEED FOR THE LIFE AND THINGS YOU WANT.

These thoughts were pressed upon my heart and spirit this morning and I know they were meant for YOU. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ TODAY, PRAY FOR THE QUALITIES AND CHARACTER YOU NEED FOR THE LIFE AND THINGS YOU WANT. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Not the other way around. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Meaning, stop praying and affirming all the things you want without praying for ...⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ... The wisdom to know what’s right for you. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ... The heart for others ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ... The discernment to block what’s not in alignment ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ... The character and integrity required ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ... The spirit of generosity because everything is not about you. 🤭⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ ... And the stillness and peace that knows God has blessed it. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Pray for faith to stay the course. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Pray for vision to see the end. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Pray for steps to make the next move. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ It’s not just about money, cars, or relationships. It’s about who you are and who you are called to be. #innerabundance ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Expand your prayers and what you say over your life today. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Don’t stay stuck on the stuff. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Instead switch to sticking with who God says you are! And that’s bigger than things. It’s character. It’s heart. ❤️⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ In presence, gratitude and love,⠀⁣ Brooke-Sidney ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ P.S. Need help unraveling the chaos and finding peace and power in it all, message me. I help people create spiritual wellness shifts in minutes.

I AM WORTHY OF MY DESIRES AND MORE!

Today’s affirmation and meditation: ⠀ I AM WORTHY OF MY DESIRES AND MORE!⠀ Sometimes we need to be reminded. ⠀ Sometimes we need to speak truth to a lie. ⠀ Sometimes we need to affirm what goes unsaid. ⠀ Sometimes we need to declare our visions over our lives. ⠀ And sometimes we need to have faith and trust in the desires placed in our heart. ⠀ Even though things on the outside may not look or feel the way you’d like them to be, it doesn’t mean that you’re not worthy. ⠀ The manifestation is catching up with the vision. ⠀ The vibration is being reset. ⠀ Hold on. ⠀ It’s coming! ⠀ Today, remember that you are worthy of your desires and so much more. ⠀ And for the ladies with a desire to treat themselves with a self-love vacation, check out ⠀ THE MINDSOULFUL SELFLOVE YOGA AND MEDITATION LUXURY RETREAT in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico from October 11-14, 2019. ❤️⠀ NEW BONUS: Grab a friend and save $100 off your retreat package!

New Episode of THE MINDSOULFUL SHOW. 

In the midst of the move, my team and I managed to produce another amazing episode of THE MINDSOULFUL SHOW.  As a part of the Manifesting Mamas series, I interviewed Kylie Mason-Sharfner for the MANIFESTING AN EMPOWERED MOTHERHOOD show.  This episode was so much fun because it was like a good girls talk. It was an authentic conversation about manifestation, motherhood, and trying to achieve your own goals.  Some of the highlights include: - How Kylie manifested a home birth and having a baby without fear  - How to get yourself into an empowered state - How to flip a background of lack and scarcity into an abundant mindset - The importance of self-care and self-love - And much more!  I invite you to check out this episode and listen with your mind, heart, and soul!

SOMETIMES YOU SURPRISE YOURSELF...

SOMETIMES YOU SURPRISE YOURSELF... This move has brought up so many emotions and memories.  Of times past... Dreams deferred... Goals set - some met, some not... Failed relationships... New relationships... But mostly transitions. I know and trust that everything has been brought up to see, feel, and bless! It's truly not needed for the next part of my journey.  Surprisingly, it hasn't been difficult to give up things - furnishings, electronics, and well - STUFF. I actually want to be free of the old. And I know the power of creating space for the new. #manifestation And I have loved giving (or better yet, selling 😍) the items to new owners who are very happy to receive them.  It's a WIN-WIN! ✨✨ Friends, it's the end of May and the perfect time to reflect upon what you could be holding onto that's worth blessing and releasing. What needs to get left behind so you can flow into your new season? 😘😘 In presence and gratitude, Brooke-Sidney  p.s.

CHANGE THE SITUATION OR CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT IT. 

Today’s meditation and affirmation. It’s really this simple. CHANGE THE SITUATION OR CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT IT.  DON’T STAY STUCK OR SIMPLY COMPLAIN. ⠀ We always have at least two choices to remain in our power. ⠀ Don’t like something - change it or change your mindset. ✨✨⠀ Being stuck or complaining puts us in victim mode and out of our power and clear mind. ⠀ We can always make a new choice. ⠀ Happy Thursday friends. ⠀ In presence and gratitude,⠀ Brooke-Sidney⠀ P.S.

BEING REALISTIC IS BEING THE REAL YOU!

BEING REALISTIC IS BEING THE REAL YOU! ⠀ I used to loathe the word REALISTIC because I would always hear that I am not being realistic. ⠀ Realistic about my expectations, dreams, desires, visions, how I want to be treated, the love I seek, and so much more.⠀ The word felt confining, small, and limited. ⠀ I honestly disliked that word until Spirit recently explained it to me anew. ✨✨✨ BEING REALISTIC IS ONLY BEING REAL TO ME AND AS ME! ⠀ All of us color our lives with our viewpoints, stories, experiences and lessons. ⠀ Our job is to understand ourselves (our strengths & areas of improvement) so that we can be the BEST VERSION OF US! ⠀ Today, when someone tells you to be realistic about your thoughts or your dreams - - You can say - I AM. I AM BEING REALISTIC BY BEING THE REAL ME! ⠀ Happy HUMP DAY friends.❤️ In love, presence, and gratitude,⠀ Brooke-Sidney ⠀

Happy Self-Care Sunday!

Happy Self-Care Sunday! What are you planning to do just for YOU today? I’m speaking/moderating an event today designed for women to talk unfiltered about motherhood, balancing, healing, self-care and more. I’m excited to spread the message of self-care and the value of prioritizing instead of seeking “balance.” 😊(And my LA folks, you’re invited to Tiana Burton’s TDK Red Lip Convo & Cocktails!)  Share below how you’re taking some time today or this week for self-care. ❤️✨

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THINGS DON’T GO AS PLANNED??

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THINGS DON’T GO AS PLANNED??

Do you curse?  Stomp your feet? Cry? Yell? Blame yourself or others?

Sometimes the best thing we can do is PAUSE. 

Friends, I’m in the middle of a move. I’m figuring out how to release and let go of not only my current house but outdated things. 

I’m releasing...

Furnishings  Clothing  Environments  Experiences  And ultimately ENERGY. 

But like the normal person, I got plans and plans. 

So last night after a day of shopping for new things that I need — because I’ve made room for them by saying goodbye to the old 👋🏽 — I had planned to clean out my clothing drawers. 

I get home and my house is PITCH BLACK. In fact, the entire neighborhood was black. All of our power was out. There was a scheduled maintenance by my electric company. 

So, rather than getting frustrated or upset because of the big monkey wrench in my plans, I decided to laugh. 😆

And like a crazy woman, I started laughing. Laughing at the irony of the dark house, the limited time in my house, the failed plans and all the signs that Spirit was saying you’ve done enough today. 

It’s time to rest and reflect. I’ve been getting these messages lately about pausing and slowing down. (check out Monday’s MindSoulful Monday - link below). 

Rather than get upset or waste any more precious energy on a situation that is what it is - I decided to make it fun. Time for a sleepover. Time to find a place I could crash. 

Time to just enjoy the moment. 

The stuff isn’t going anywhere. 

And it’s honestly my soul and energy that will make everything move in flow or disarray. So I’m going to tend to my energy. 

And I woke up this morning feeling rested and relieved. I’m also trusting everything will work out as it should. 

Where could you use a little more trust? What do you need to release? 

In presence and gratitude, Brooke-Sidney 

#mindsoulful

P.S. stay tuned for updates on things I’m finding new homes for - furniture, desk, toys, kid stuff and more. Excited to feel freer!!

HAVING TROUBLE MANIFESTING?

HAVING TROUBLE MANIFESTING? Are you too attached to your goals and outcomes? Admittedly, one of the hardest concepts to grasp in manifestation techniques is to set a goal and not become attached to it.  Our job is to get clear, make it plain (write it down, vision board, speak it constantly), hold the vision (cast out doubts and the other devilish Ds), and have faith. But the biggest part is that we must at the same time release it to Spirit. Give it to God as the saying goes. Make your prayer/request/goal heard and then have faith while surrendering it.  Meantime, being open to your prayer or goal manifesting in a different manner or in a way that exceeds your expectations. ✨✨ And we must live in the vibration of having it. You must be living in the vibration of what you wish to receive from a place of abundance and not lack. And for most of us, this is easier said than done.  Do you remember the story in the Bible about Noah? Noah was told by God/Spirit that there was going to be a flood. Now, of course, it didn’t make sense at the time. Heck, it wasn’t even raining.  Yet, Noah had to act on faith and belief that the flood was coming and he had to build the ark and assemble the animals.  So, he aligned himself, his life, his actions and his vibration with his vision. God/Spirit’s vision became his vision. And he operated in a state of “as if” - knowing and trusting that what he was told and now knew was true.  For whatever goal or vision has been placed on your heart... Where do you need to listen? Where do you need to act on faith after receiving the vision?  What ark do you need to build when there is NO RAIN in sight?  I teach these principles and more regarding soulful manifestation to gain more soulful inner and outer abundance.

ARE YOU DOING THE WORK?

ARE YOU DOING THE WORK?

This sums up the inner work we should be doing to clear our past, subconscious blocks, and elevate ourselves so we can uplift others. 

I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAID THAT IT WAS EASY.

And I wouldn't be telling you the truth if I presented it as though it is ONE AND DONE. 

Meaning, do a little work and then you're healed. BOOM.

No, this work requires time, patience, endurance and grace - - because there is levels to this. 

And more is revealed over time - as we are ready.

Thankfully, we don't have to do it alone. 

I didn't. I got help from Spirit, coaches, therapists, and trusted friends. 

And you don't have to do the work alone either. 

For the souls truly interested in making this lifetime count by aligning with what they are called to do and really want to release all the things that are not working for them...

Then, I invite those souls, and only them, to apply to work with me!

Isn't it time?!

REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU WANT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF WHAT'S NOT WORKING!

Today's affirmation and meditation: REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU WANT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF WHAT'S NOT WORKING! This meditation applies to everything - people, places, and things. Because contained within every "problem" is the answer or solution.  But we must get out of our own way. Often times, we need to shift out of the problem mind to enter the solution mind. And it's as simple as shifting our perspective and changing our frequency.
