Since we are now halfway through 2022, I thought it would be helpful to do a quick Big Picture assessment with one simple question.

After all, it is always within our power to create the outcomes we desire, isn't it?

Watch Life By Design #88 where I breakdown the answers and how to fast-track your success before 2022 ends!

Just like any other physical manifestation in life, our bodies are extensions of our internal worlds.

The aura of a sensitive person is naturally more porous than that of the average person. This means that external negativity can more easily get lodged in the body. And if dealt with, that energy can eventually manifest as physical illness or disease. This also applies to the internal environment we create with our own beliefs and emotions. 

Watch Life By Design #87 where I share a powerful client story of physical healing that took place as a result of releasing the lifelong mental and emotional buildup at an unconscious level.

Today's message is about switching up the energy when we get stuck in a rut.

Watch Life By Design #86 where I talk about the importance of free flowing spontaneity in reaching your next level.

There is a quickening occurring all around and within us. There are endings, beginnings, and in-betweens converging. Some are welcome, some difficult, some uncertain.

And well, it's been... intense!!

So, this week I felt inspired to create a guided meditation for you. 

Listen to Life By Design #85 for a simple 11-min reprieve from the chaos and busy-ness of the week. Do you have a few moments to be still and receive? There is an opportunity for you to Focus on the Light right here, right now, no matter what your life looks like.

You'll be glad you did. ;)

Unhealed trauma can manifest in a variety of ways:

For some, it's substance abuse and addiction.

For others, it's poor boundaries, toxic relationships, anxiety or perfectionism.

Many lightworkers have survived unspeakable abuse, trauma, loss, pain, and betrayal... and yet, they still possess an internal radiance that simply can't be denied. 

Watch Life By Design Video #84 where I highlight a commonly overlooked type of trauma that is at the heart of fear-based behaviors life self-sabotage and procrastination.

As empaths, many of us feel supported by a routine schedule that provides us with a sense of control and continuity. However, if these routines go on for too long without a shift, it can start to feel stagnant, which can feel very limiting.

The trouble is...

Anything different from the routine seems to go against old beliefs that warn:

• "You have to work hard!"
• "You'll lose focus!"
• "You'll get behind!"

None of which is actually true.

Watch Life By Design Video #83 for a practical way to break free of stagnation and create   s p a c e   for your creativity.

Negative emotions have a bad reputation, don't they?

Especially in the personal growth and development world. People try to avoid negative emotions, get rid of them, and generally banish their existence...

...like it's somehow unspiritual to feel ANGRY or SAD.

Watch Life By Design Video #82 for a new perspective on the benefits of negative emotions and how to use them to create positive change.

"But how?"

This is one of the most popular questions my clients and students ask!

It's like an objection to the abundance that they really want!

The truth is...

I never know how abundance is going to land in my clients' lives. I only know that if they're aligned with the energy of their desires, and they know they are worthy, the abundance IS on the way...

Watch Life By Design Video #81 for a powerful example of how inner alignment inevitably leads to abundance that's even better than you could imagine.

Humans are creatures of habit.

As we go about our daily routine such as waking up, working, eating meals, and going to sleep, it becomes second nature to do things in the same way because we've formed habits. The unconscious mind processes information quickly and without us being aware most of the time.

The same principle applies to struggles we may repeatedly encounter around money. Much of what seems like cruel repetition is simply a reflection of the habits going on at the subconscious level. These habits affect your energy and your capacity to experience abundance.

Watch Life By Design Video #80 for a positive spin on habits that will change the way you look at your money problems and how to become a Wealthy Lightworker.

It's a striking phrase, isn't it?

When the concept of the wealthy lightworker came to me months ago,
I felt inspired to bring it to life because to many people who are doing AMAZING work, 

"The Wealthy Lightworker" sounds like a paradox,

a dream way out of their reach...

Why is that?

If you're a lightworker, you're ALREADY doing amazing things.

But if you aren't enjoying the financial abundance you desire,

there's something misaligned on the INSIDE.

Watch Life By Design Video #79 to hear about what it means to be a Wealthy Lightworker.

I often find myself in awe of the strength and beauty

of the people I get to work with each day.

Everything they've been through...

You can't tell by looking at them that they've survived unspeakable

abuse, trauma, loss, pain, and betrayal. (Sometimes their scars can be traced

back to waaaaay before this lifetime, such as in past lives or previous family generations.)

But most of the time, it's what they've endured in this lifetime.

Watch Life By Design Video #78 for a simple reminder that you are so much MORE than your past.

In my many years of working with highly sensitive empaths, I've noticed there are 3 main challenges they often encounter on their way to joy, love and prosperity they signed up for in this life.

I, too, spent years struggling before mastering what used to feel like patterns I was doomed to repeat forever.

So changes are, if you're an empath, you've also dealt with one or more of these challenges.

Watch Life By Design Video #77 for the Top 3 Challenges Every Empath Must Overcome in order to live life by design (not by default).

Successful people do things differently.

They are NOT more intelligent, more talented or luckier than you. It may seem like Life is more kind to successful people, but the truth is...

Watch Life By Design Video #76 for a two-step process that will lead you toward the success and abundance you deserve and desire.

Do you ever wonder where your limiting beliefs come from?

As a highly sensitive and intuitive person, you are probably used to some degree of self reflection. But sometimes it can be a struggle to pinpoint your own blocks. Limiting beliefs are not clear but statements you can consciously recite to others.

Watch Life By Design Video #75 for some new points to consider when delving within to uncover your subconscious blocks.

Last week I found myself feeling tired and a bit scattered.

I didn't attribute it to anything going on in my immediate present

because it was something more elusive--

And I had to take a moment to trace the energy leak back to its source...

Watch Life By Design Video #74 for a quick and easy way to identify energy leaks and turn them into energy peaks!

It is safe to let your desires guide you...

Your desires are not selfish.

They are not wrong.

The very fact that you desire them

is what gives them life and value.

They don't have to be sensible.

They don't need to be understood by others.

Watch Life By Design Video #73 for a refreshing mindset shift around feeling good about manifesting what you want!

I came across this quote the other day:

"The tree remembers what the ax forgets." ~ African proverb

We've all picked up beliefs from past events in which we felt hurt or misunderstood by others. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, we've developed beliefs about ourselves and the world because of those painful moments.

Your words are so powerful.

One of the key manifestation steps I teach is Embodiment: using your energy to create an environment within yourself that supports your desires.

Watch Life By Design Video #71 for a simple yet important way to calibrate your energy to align with your dreams.

What should you do when things just are NOT working? When you're feeling discouraged and just "done."

The short answer is to STOP telling the story that it's not working!

Let's talk about how much of a manifesting advantage YOU have as a highly sensitive and intuitive person.

Sometimes past thoughts and emotions can take up waaaay more space than they need to.

Why does this happen?

In short, there are moments, emotions, and decisions that exist beyond the limited scope of your conscious memory.

Watch Life By Design Video #68 for 3 signs that you are carrying old subconscious baggage and 3 ways you can release past negativity.

There's nothing more frustrating than knowing EXACTLY what you want and being REALLLLLY excited to have it...

But then deep down, hearing that voice inside saying some version of, "You're not enough."

We all have a version of this voice anytime we wat to reach a higher level in life.

Watch Life By Design Video #67 for a helpful reminder that your desired outcomes do NOT depend on your logical mind.

There's a lot of talk about limiting beliefs these days.

Basically, limiting beliefs are the reasons why you think you can't have something that you really want.

They sound something like: "I'm too ____." or "I'm not ____ enough."

Watch Life By Design Video #66 to understand the origin of limiting beliefs and how to start shifting towards the outcomes you want and deserve.

Have you ever struggled with something that you absolutely KNEW was for your benefit, but somehow weren't able to actually follow through with it?

This kind of "stuckness" occurs when people are out of sync with their unconscious mind, which controls 95% of everything you do.

Yes, everything.

Watch Life By Design Video #65 to clear up some of the common misconceptions about hypnotherapy and the unconscious mind.

Have you noticed that your "comfort zone" isn't all that comfortable?

That's because your "comfort zone" is your limit. It's the place you've outgrown.

It may be tolerable for awhile, but if you remain there too long, it can be constricting, frustrating, and even bad for your health.

As an Empath, one of the most powerful ways to change your life is by using your own ENERGY.

Sounds simple, and yet, nearly every client I've worked with has once struggled in this area.

Trusting the unseen aspects of manifestation can feel unsafe, scary, or even artifical at times.

Watch Life By Design Video #63 to learn how your own ENERGY affects the SPEED of your desired outcomes.

One thing I learned rather quickly when it came to manifesting my own goals and dreams, was the importance of keeping them to myself, and the people who TRULY wanted me to succeed.

Most of us have had the experience of confiding our dreams and aspirations in someone -- only to be doubted, laughed at, or called "crazy."

Watch Life By Design Video #62 for my perspective on this subtle aspect of manifestation.

Today I want to remind you of something: If you didn't possess such light, the forces of darkness would leave you alone.

This may sound dramatic to speak about light and dark in this way, but what I know to be true from my own experience is that darkness can come in the FORM of negative self-talk.

Read Life By Design Video #61 for tips to say NO to negative self-talk and say YES to your greatness.

Do you ever feel like your thoughts are working against you?

If so, you're in good company because negative self-talk is a symptom of the human condition.

On the bright side, since YOU are the only one who is in control of your thoughts, you have the power to change direction. In the process of manifestation, you MUST learn how to manage your mindset in order to be able to attract your desired outcomes.

Watch Life By Design Video #60 for a simple illustration of how your mindset influences your energy and your outcomes.
