When I’m feeling blocked creatively or stuck on finding a solution to a problem, a sure way to help me clear those blocks is to spend time out in nature or I take a nice long bath. 🌿☺️🛀

Being out in nature or in water not only neutralizes or clears away any dense energies I may have been carrying, but it also removes me from the constant noise and chatter of the world (and of my own mind), making me a clearer channel for those new ideas, solutions or epiphanies to come through. We have to clear space to make room for the new! 🧹

I’m always amazed by the number of ideas or solutions that can come through when I am in the cleansing and neutralizing properties of nature and water. I just have to remember to do those things when I’m feeling stuck!

The next time you’re feeling stuck, set the intention to bring forth whatever it is that you are seeking (e.g. ideas for projects, solutions to a problem, etc.) and then spend some time out in nature, take a bath/shower or do whatever helps you to feel calm and grounded, and you might be surprised by what comes through for you!

May those creative ideas and solutions be abundant and flow to you with ease! ✨❤️

INTIMACY. If you wish to have more intimacy in your personal relationships, meaning emotional closeness, safety and trust, you have to let people in. You must allow others to see who you really are. Not just parts of you, but all of you.

When you hold on to the fear that people will abandon or reject you if you show up in full vulnerability and authenticity, then you will never learn that you can be loved just as you are.

With gentle self-compassion (because it’s going to feel terrifying) pull down the protective walls and let the love in that you deserve for LOVE IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.
