So far this month as we step into our Girl Power we have been hounding you to get clear on what you want (what you really, really want) in life, so you can take whatever small action that’s required to have the life you want. We know this isn’t always easy, or as simple as it may sound, which is why we are having this conversation along with Ginger (the oil of empowerment). So whilst you are asking yourself these tricky questions, do know that it’s likely that your mind will try and shut things down.

As you begin to change, your mind will notice, and it may try to block too much change from happening. We know this sounds weird, because consciously we know that change is constant and want to be able to follow our dreams. It’s just that sometimes our mind will want to protect us from new experiences, vulnerability, failing and whatever other fear-based state it can dream up. 

This is why we have been working with you to be more resilient, and to have a deep knowing that ‘you’ve got this’. 

There are many, many reasons why we don’t change, even when we say we want to. Some of them will be external: things like the opinions of others (and if you are me, sometimes the opinions of dead others. -Al), through to the outward changes that may happen. Other blocks will be internal: shifts from within that will occur that will make us look at ourselves and the world in a new way. With all these chemical and emotional barriers in place, it’s no wonder we can find transformation uncomfortable. 

This week we would love you to think of one thing you would love to do differently (think small to begin with) then take some time to think or write down all of the external and internal things that will change as you make your shift. If you are feeling a little uncomfortable, that’s okay. It’s expected. The last step is to get to a mirror, and whilst you are holding this discomfort, repeat this little mantra we learnt from Kerwin Rae: This is Simple, This is Easy, This is Fun. For bonus points, breathe out with a smile and a sigh at the end. This will show your brain and your mind that you are safe. 

And most importantly: having fun!

Go Girl.
