• Cultivate your truth with fierce devotion

• Choose your boundaries and protect them
• Choose friends that support your magic

👁️Choose an emotion, or spectrum of emotions, that you are aiming to bring more of into your life.

Deeply ask yourself, and feel into it:

• Can you locate it in your body?
• How does your body posture change when you focus on it?
• How does your face posture change when you focus on it?
• Visually, can you see the energy you are invoking? What does it look like?

👁️ Self Awareness Check In 👁️
Close your eyes and run through the questions. Hold the visual/feeling/sensation in your mind for at least 3 breaths. Tune into it. This is how you impress the power of what you’re calling in, into your subconscious mind.

I am not the only one, and science proves it works.

It requires intention, focus and action to prime your brain's incredible ability to adapt.
