Courage Through Fear

Shame, in all its forms, can shut you down in a millisecond and prevent you from experiencing joy.  It has the power to stop you in your tracks by blocking self-love and keeps you from your authentic self by locking you in the subservient energy of being a victim to the origin of the shame.

Having a high vibration, which is actually a state of being where you are joyous, engaged in life, and able to receive abundance, is the key to attracting the life you desire. 

This time of year there is a lot of discussion and advice about goal setting, self-evaluation, and taking stock, all for making the best use of the “Fresh Start” for the New Year. However, for me, this is not something I do only in December to prepare for the New Year. It is something I do all the time and all year long. I take stock, I make adjustments, I goal set and then create an action plan, and lastly, I act in any way possible to get me that much closer to my visions.

A “Shift” is a positive way of saying you have made a change in your life, in your mindset, in your thought process, or in your awareness. It is an energetic transformation on a cellular level from one state to another either subtly or cataclysmically life altering.

So, the question then becomes: How do you not lose that motivational fire that burns with new ideas and new possibilities? How do you stoke it so it burns all summer long into fall, then into winter? Spring gives you that energy boost to start working toward making those plans manifest, so you can joyfully watch them actualize. The key is to use that power and creative force that is driven by spring’s rebirth and Mother Earth’s renewal to your highest potential, instead of just allowing it to dissipate into your daily ritual and routine.
