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.

How do you let go of what was and step into the present joy that is all around you? By deliberately shifting your feelings! You shift your feelings by focusing on your thoughts. Your thoughts, the ones you pay attention too, are what are making you sad, anxious, depressed, despondent or angry. These thoughts create emotions in the body either positive feelings or not so positive feelings that bring you down, such as anger, stress, sadness etc. Your thoughts are clinging to what was, reminding you of what you don’t have, don’t want or are missing from your life. It is not possible to bring in joy, happiness and all the things you do want from this place of pain.

I believe with the signal of the fall equinox and the beginning of the harvest, awakens our drive and sense of purpose. It is time to wake up. It is ingrained in our DNA to start to bring into fruition and birth those plans that have been building and growing all year. They are ready to be birthed.

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.

Anxiety? Stress? Are they affecting everything you do? Is it seeping into all aspects of your life? Does your heart race? Does your mind loop on the same fear thought or on something you could take back, and wish you hadn’t done because you knew better but couldn’t help yourself in the moment? I suffer from all of the above. Anxiety and stress come in and out of my life like most people. However, I recognize it and work to release it, let it go and figure out productive solutions on how to shift my thinking.
