Tomorrow I have two exams. Okay, I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is for me

I started a new degree; I'm studying mathematics after finishing teaching. I know, it sound heavy, but I've always love it. Now that I'm on it I'm very scared.

I will do it the best I can and I know that is my best; even though one little part of me thinks that instead of sleeping and get rest I should study because I could be doing more... I know that is not true and that I deserve to rest; that I'm ready and if I don't... honestly, I did everything I could.

I have to learn how to allow myself to rest so I'm going to sleep. Also, I need to learn that I can't control everything.

Wish me luck!

Full Moon Ritual

Full moons are all about magic. The full moon is here to make your dreams come true. When the full moon comes around, I like to focus my magic on getting rid of toxicity around me. Here’s what I do:

1.    Make sure you are in a good, healthy headspace.  Magic is all about intention. You want to make sure you feel good and take that good energy with you when you start your ritual.

2.    Write a list of what you want out of your life. Every full moon I make notes of people, ideas, and ways of thinking that no longer serve me and I burn it.

3.    Set intentions. Write a letter to the universe and show gratitude for those things leaving my life. Write this in present tense as if the magic has happened.

4.    Clean your physical body. Take a salt bath. Smudge yourself. Clean your body’s energy as well.

5.    Meditate. Light your candles and grab your manifestation crystals sit before your alter and visualize your magic at work. See those toxic traits leaving your life and not coming back. Visualize yourself making different moves to ensure that toxicity cant reach you anymore.

6.    Burry the ashes of the burned paper. Return to sender! Let the ashes go back to the earth.

 Remember, everything starts from within. Be positive and believe in your power to create a life you want to live. Rejoice in the bad times because they prepare you for the good. Watch your circle and don’t be afraid to make change. Be bold and stand firm in who you are. Use the full moon to find your magic. You’re powerful enough to create whatever life you desire to live. Take it one month at a time.

Healthy Boundaries

Bound·a·ry

/ˈbound(ə)rē/     

               a line that marks the limits of an area; a dividing line.

               a limit of a subject or sphere of activity.

Protecting your peace and your energy is important. You have to create healthy boundaries. When toxic people/energy can get too close to you, you’ll find yourself exhausted seemingly for no reason, you’ll feel weighed down by burdens, you may even feel like your obligated to do for and put up with these people. We have to understand that others aren’t our responsibility. Especially when you identify as a healer or empath, deal with anxiety, or deal with depression, its easy to take on others energy as your own. A lot of the time it’s because you allowed this energy into your space.

  I don’t want to sound like I’m placing blame or saying that you can’t help or feel for others, but you have to protect yourself first.

1.       Start by knowing your triggers and when you’ve had enough. Know when to take a step back and how to get yourself back on track. For me that’s quiet time alone with music meditation and a salt bath. Do what brings you peace.

2.       Once you know how toxic a person can be, believe it for what it is and don’t make excuses for the behavior. This can be hard because most of the time a person who needs boundaries is someone who you know well. You may know of their childhood trauma or know how they got to be this way, but our responsibility to ourselves is to address and assess.

3.       Not all battles need to include you. This person may need to travel alone on their path. This one is hard for me because I can see the potential. I can see where this person can be if they follow their true path. It’s not my burden to carry though.

4.       Lastly, once the boundary is in place, keep it there. A boundary is not an open door. It’s in place so that they are where they need to be. If you’re at a point where they are able to come and go as they please, you’ve taken the responsibility off of that person and placed it on yourself. Now it’s a pattern you’ve allowed.

 This isn’t easy. I just had to hold myself accountable last night. The full moon magic hit me a little different and I realized that I am only hurting myself by not being firm. There’s no reason why I should let someone else’s energy dictate mine. I’m stronger than that and so are you! Prove it to yourself; know your triggers, don’t make excuses for toxic behavior, remember it’s not your fight, and hold firm. You got this!

Don't be a Martyr to Your Circumstances

mar·tyr

/ˈmärdər/

·         a person who displays or exaggerates their discomfort or distress in order to obtain sympathy or admiration.

A martyr is a role. Like an actress in a play. Yes, life is hard. Yes, life throws you situations that are hard to recover from. The question is do you want to recover, or do you want to continue to play the role?

 Sometimes we don’t understand our situations. Sometimes we get blind to the why. Why is this happening? What lesson am I missing for this to keep happening? Once you elevate yourself and you stop asking “why is this happening to me?” and start asking, “what is this supposed to teach me?” you have a responsibility to yourself to stop playing the role. When you deny yourself the higher elevated thinking, it’s telling the universe that you like where you are. It makes you feel alive.

  Life is hard that’s a fact. It’s also a fact that things happen to us in life to grow us. That’s why my motto is to grow with the flow. Just like others, my life has been filled with disappointment and pain. I had to realize that I was low, and I didn’t like it. I found myself in low vibrational situations trying to find a way to escape from the pain without letting go of the situations because I felt it wasn’t fair to have to continuously go through those situations. It absolutely wasn’t fair. Growth is when you can identify, assess, learn, apply, and grow from the circumstance. When you know better, you do better. Anything else is a choice. Just like you chose to be low, chose to do what it takes to go high.

  These days I’ve been weighed down with the martyrs in my life. As a healer, I sometimes take on their energy and find myself feeling their lows. This weekend I said enough is enough. I had to protect my energy and make sure I didn’t take on those lows. I stopped answering my phone, stopped responding to text, and did things to restore my energy levels. I woke up feeling great! Then I spoke with a martyr. We lost service (thank you spirit) and usually I would call back, but today I didn’t. It almost hurt me not to, but I had to realize I can’t keep complaining about being low from others and allow them to drain me. Wouldn’t that make me a martyr too?

  Sometimes you create your own hell. You have to check yourself and have healthy boundaries. It’s your life. No one is gonna create the perfect situation for you. That’s your responsibility.

Tired of ...

·         Feeling used

·         Being objectified 

·         Feeling ignored

·         Not being heard

·         Crying

·         Feeling depressed

·         Being alone 

·         Being in my head

·         Thinking deep

·         Feeling deeper 

·         Just barely surviving

  And that is totally ok and totally human. We all reach breaking points. Today I hit mine. I should have been out of bed 11 mins ago but I’m gonna take another 10 here so I can get the rest of the tears out and put on the fake happy face. I’m gonna make it thru today. If tomorrow is bad I’ll make tomorrow too and any other tough day that comes to me. I’m tired.
