SoulfuLight Artistry's New Year Mood!
Great afternoon Beautiful Beings!
I trust you have all been well as we have been wrapping this year up. I can’t believe it’s already getting to be late January; time is flyyyyying by. It’s been a crazy fucking year to say the least, ya’ll. Seriously, shout out to Us for making it all these months. Literally just staying alive and healthy during a pandemic is a huge blessing. It feels really good and also scary at times because stepping out on Blind Faith is extremely difficult. Picking up the pieces after having the rug ripped from underneath you, or just having to deal with all the new rules and adjustments; all of the people who have had it rough this year and still made it out okay, that’s a huge win for us. That’s one thing we can hold onto & be grateful for: Our Strength, Resilience and Perseverance that has grown and expanded exponentially. That goes to show that there are so many rewards for us in the near future; and there’s a reason why we needed this Training, this season of Growth and Building. Whatever we are preparing for is what is coming for us. We have to know what we want to manifest and hold onto the vision as long as we can until it actually starts showing up in our reality. Even when the hardest thing to do is to Believe. if we try our best to remain consistent, we WILL see results and that’s a fact. So… What is it that we want to see show up in our new year? Where do we see room for more Love? more Forgiveness or more Acceptance? What is our 2021 Mood?
Releasing what no longer serves…
I was just talking to my sister recently about what things I wanted to release going into 2021; one of the big things being Self-Doubt, when it comes to myself and my decisions; refusing to second-guess when it comes to doing something—- anything! It’s time to stop thinking twice before treating my Self or choosing to indulge in different experiences or certain possessions. I’m done with doubting my Self, when I know that I’m fully capable. Sure, I make mistakes and I’m not perfect, but I’ve noticed how much time I’ve spent wasting away at planning, preparing, educating my Self to continue doing the things I’ve prepared all of my Life to do. I’m always used to putting my Self last on my list. Over time, when one realizes doing more for others and less for your Self doesn’t help with Self-Esteem or Self-Worth, it’s a must to take a step back and reassess where energy needs to be redirected. And I truly don’t mean to act in extremes. I mean, honestly take the time to redirect our energy in small actions, taking active baby steps necessary to incorporate new Habits, Actions & Behaviors. For me, the little moments have been coming down to choosing to treat my Self to gifts, experiences and quality time. I never hesitate to give to others, but when it comes to my Self I’ve noticed my habit of creating excuses as to why I can’t or shouldn’t spend extra money on my Self. In those moments, I choose to weigh my pros and cons and make the decision to give to my Self. Allowing my Self to Receive (in general) has been a tough journey for me, to say the least. I’ve discovered how easy it has been for me to neglect my Self, even when it comes to Receiving —- FROM ME!! lmaoooo, how strange is that?! I see how I’ve made Loving Me and taking care of Me a last priority on my to-do list. Now that that’s started shifting somewhat, I am seeing beautiful results. By giving more to my Self in a plethora of ways, I’ve been able to receive not only for my Self, but for my Family and for my Business as well.
I’m Willing to Change
Nothing is more clear to me now, at the end of 2020, than it has ever been before: Our thoughts help shift our vibration, therefore, creating our reality. Truly, whatever I am telling my Self and whatever I am telling my Self to Believe, I will Experience. Period. I’ve seen how important it is to be able to become aware, adjust and manage my own Energy. Not in a way where I’m attempting to Manipulate or Repress; but in a way where I’m able to see my habits and the areas where I need more Discipline for further Success; so that I may navigate Life with the Confidence to be able to handle whatever comes my way. I choose to allow my Self to process the things that I feel affected by, but I won’t stay attached to the point where I’m wasting valuable time and energy in Worry, Doubt, Guilt Shame and Insecurity. I choose to Believe that I am worthy of the Best Case Scenarios. I’m releasing the need to focus on Lack, Limitation & Irrational Fears and instead, shift my mind, my thoughts and my vibration to a frequency of Abundance with Gratitude. I don’t have to get down on myself for not being perfect because, I read something that meant so much to me: “Consistency doesn’t mean Perfection.” That, to me, is everything!! I immediately criticize myself anytime I 'fall off the beaten path’ or get somewhat distracted from my goal. It’s so important for us to know that we’re Human and being Human means we’re going to make mistakes; Honest ones. All that matters is that we have the Discernment and the Courage to know that we may have gotten a bit distracted or just went through a season but we’re always going to remain committed to our Purpose, our Dreams, and our Goals. There’s no reason for us to be so hard on ourselves all the time. It’s actually extremely counterproductive towards our progression. Rather than focus on what we’re lacking, it’s time for us to focus on what we are gaining or receiving from our experiences. Eventually, nothing will be able to stand in our way because anything not in alignment will naturally, no longer be desirable.
Positive Vibration, yea!
I feel so overwhelmingly grateful for all things working in my favor even though I may not see it or understand it at first. My thoughts and beliefs are shifting towards Empowerment. The sooner we choose to Believe that Abundance + Joy is natural & our Birthright and that everything surrounding us in our Lives are there to be used for Elevation; that we have the individual power, strength & capacity to choose our path of Elevation and Expansion, the easier it’ll become to live in Abundance, see it every day in our physical reality & have the mindset needed to maintain it. I can see my reality shifting before my very eyes, the more and more I choose to affirm Abundance and Appreciation for Life. Abundance doesn’t just mean wealth or money. Abundance is seeing everything that is readily available to us. Resources, Opportunities and Innovative thinking is another form of Abundance as well! The more we practice, the better we will get. Patience is required, as well as, Trust with this process. There will be times where we get tired, confused, weak or just plain frustrated. But thankfully, we have learned the tools to help lift our Vibration and get back on track as soon as possible!! The practice of Meditation, Yoga postures, Cooking, Rollerskating, Aromatherapy, writing a Gratitude or Appreciation List and reciting Affirmations & Prayer all have been my saving Grace during those times. It’s not easy to do all of these practices when you’re feeling a bit meh or stuck in a rut, but just remember that every teeny tiny shift is getting us closer to being pro at releasing the negative energies & shifting towards a High Vibrational Being that can’t be touched.
Fear of the Unknown
Once we get on a roll, it’s soooo easy for Fear to creep back in and rear it’s ugly head. Especially, when you’re being tested. The possibilities are endless if we try to think about the ways the Universe can test us or the things that can happen once we get closer and closer to our goal. Fear of the unknown, can be terrifying. Especially if you have been traumatized. Surprises can be more of a trigger than a gift and talk about being uncomfortable, ugh. Just thinking about the possibilities can put us in a panic attack. Plus, when our minds are set to Unworthiness, Anxiety or Confusion, we can easily manifest or attract something we know we wouldn’t want. That’s why it’s of the utmost importance to manage and stay aware of our thoughts and vibration. This may be a time for us to do a bit more Shadow Work to shed the unnecessary thoughts and beliefs that we have about ourselves and the world around us. We have to make sure we’re in alignment with our highest good; if fear and worry overtakes our minds and then our vibration, we’ll notice a change in our moods or responses. We may also notice our interactions with the outside world will start to shift in a way where it seems like it’s working more against us than for us. If this is you at the moment, don’t worry. These things are happening for our good, whether we see it right away or not. Guarantee you the Universe is trying to get your attention. By letting us know something is off in our outer world, this gets us to start to wondering if something is off in our inner world. It’s time to go within and see if there are any other thoughts or beliefs trying to hold on for dear life before they’re let go of for good. Once we unpack what is really bothering us deep down inside, we’re finally able to set ourselves free from captivity of our unwanted, unaligned, low vibrational thoughts and beliefs.
Life is a journey, not a Destination
We’re gonna be on this journey for a while, ebbing and flowing, shedding, healing and recovering. Over and over again until we’re who we were always meant to Be. We’ll reach our goals, and we’ll set more for ourselves. The fun part is Learning, Practicing and Experiencing everything our lives have to offer us. And if there is more we’re willing to Receive, there is more work to be done when it comes to Asking, Imagining and Co-Creating the life we have always wanted. 2021 will be our much needed restart; our way ‘back on the path’ smarter than we were before. So thankful to 2020 and all it has taught us. So thankful for my community and my Ancestry for helping us make it through, with barely any cuts or bruises. Yes, there were a few burns on my end, but I like to remind myself that things could have been so much worse. There were people who lost their lives, their families and their friends. I’m just soooo BEYOND grateful for everything that happened. Good and bad. Life has been so good to me in so many ways and I’m so appreciative for it all; one of my final goals is to not take life for granted. If I died tomorrow, what would I do? I would do more for me. I would be a tiny bit more selfish. I would go out and see the world a little bit more. How about you? What is your 2021 mood?
