Joy Is Important too...

Hello and welcome to June~

I hope this finds you well and enjoying a little bit of down time for yourself today. As we enjoy the final weeks of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere and prepare for Summer to bring in the heat and all that comes with summer on June 21st; I wanted to send you a little note about a strong theme that’s been showing up for this month.

Joy is important too, and so are you.

This is the message that keeps coming through when I ask about the themes and messages for this month and this new energy. It may seem simple and in many ways it is, which is why it’s also so significant and so powerful. You may feel an emotional response while reading this statement because so often both of these aspects are sidelined for other things.

Joy is important too, and so are you.

There are lots of news stories, local and global which can feel stressful, overwhelming, and heavy which is something that I know you already know. Over time, this continued experience can take a toll. At first, it may show up in seemingly small ways; a tight jaw, stress or pain in the neck, shoulders, or back. Then, maybe in other ways too, feelings of exhaustion, lethargy, or even sadness. Then, one day you may realize that you don’t really remember when you felt like your real self. These kinds of experiences are a shared experience but often highly sensitive souls like yourself don’t talk about them or ask for help. Not because you don’t want support, but because you’re very accustomed to taking care of everything and everyone. It feels natural for you to see what needs to get done and then to get to it and begin checking things off the list. This is absolutely important and as a responsible adult, you know that if it is to be it’s up to me. During this process, sometimes, the highly sensitive soul can begin to sideline their own needs, their own care, and their own personal life. Things like, I’ll add to this to the list tomorrow, or when things get a little less stressful, or when I get around to it, or these other things and people need me more right now… Any combination of these things or maybe something else entirely that has kept you sidelining your own needs during this stressful time can create a palpable impact.

This is definitely not a message about not taking good care of the things and people that are important to you. This is definitely not a message about not honoring your responsible style and insights that you have about what’s happening in your life and the world around you.
Instead, it’s a message about honoring you.
Yes, you.
You are important.
You, the real you.
You matter.

The things that bring you joy, true joy are important, valuable, and an investment in all aspects of your life. As you invest in your joy, everyone in your circle benefits. So, if in the past you’ve worked on balancing giving and receiving, you can see this as an opportunity to give to others as you allow yourself to receive and invest in yourself. So, what does this mean and what does this look like? It looks like you actually placing yourself back onto your list and at the top. It looks like you making space for the things that matter to you. Taking 5 minutes to enjoy your cup of tea while it’s still hot; fully enjoying it while being present. It looks like listening to music just for fun. It looks like going for a walk, swim, or bike ride purely for yourself to enjoy that experience. It means calling a friend to chat and laugh and catch up for the sake of enjoying one another’s company. It means allowing yourself to use the good plates just because you love them. It means trying a new recipe because it’s been sitting in a pile of things to try for a long time…but you haven’t made it because you’re nervous about it not working out so you wait for a more perfect time. It means doing 1 thing each day for you that brings you true joy.

You may have been so far removed from this practice that you aren’t sure what brings you joy anymore. That’s okay. In fact, this means that you now have an opportunity to try some things that brought you joy in the past to see if they still resonate for you. It also means that you get to try new things too so you can find what truly brings you joy right now in this place in your life. If you feel a little bit stuck on where to start, that’s okay. If you have someone in your life that you really trust, you can ask them what kinds of things you used to enjoy and what kinds of things brought you true joy. Sometimes we need reminders from people who love us and then it can help to unlock the feeling of not knowing and get you inspired and moving forward. You can also look through old journals, pictures, or things that you have around you to help ignite your inspiration.

This isn’t one more thing to add to your daily to do list.
You are not one more thing to add to your to do list.
You are important and a priority in your own life.

This is a time to reconnect to you and to your true self by honoring your investment in joy and in yourself. You don’t have to spend money doing this, it’s about choosing to make yourself a priority in your day. For some people, this may be a brand new practice and for others it may be a return to something they haven’t done in a long time. No matter where you find yourself in this message, this is an opportunity to practice taking care of yourself and taking care of what brings you joy. Maybe it will be in recapturing quiet moments that you’ve dedicated to other things and people for some time. Maybe it will be in getting back to doing something you love that you set down along the way for other things and people. Maybe it will be ____________. It’s not about what it is that you do, it’s that you choose yourself in whatever ways you feel guided each day. It’s about not putting yourself on the when I get everything else finished list. It’s about remembering that Joy is important too, and so are you. The truth is that no matter how well organized, thoughtful, committed, and responsible you are, there will always be something else that needs to be done or added to “the list” tomorrow. There will always be something stressful or challenging happening; sometimes in our personal circle, sometimes outside of that circle. However, by practicing this important theme in your own life, you’ll be able to shift into a space where your joy and your life are a priority while you also support and care for the people in your life you’re guided to support.

This message for June is so prescient, there is a sense of urgency for us to sharpen this tool now. There’s a message that as we move into this new month and new season, we can create a positive daily habit that will support us as we move through the remainder of this year. Even 5 minutes makes a positive impact and investment into your day, your spirit, and in the way you move through the world. What can you do today to experience joy, true joy? You are worth investing in your overall quality of life by taking good care of yourself. Start by choosing 1 thing today.

If you would like support from your angels in this shift to making yourself and your joy a priority, you may feel guided to work with Archangel Michael, Archangel Raphael, or Archangel Ariel. You can also ask your guides to give you support, ideas, and insight about ways to support you as well.

If you would like to work with me for some insight, specific messages, or support in this area or anything that is showing up for you right now, I would love to support you through a private session. I know there’s a lot happening right now and I’m here for you if you’d like my help.

 I know that June can also bring up schedule shifts for people as they adjust to school being out for the summer break. If you would like to schedule a session but need a day or time that is not listed, please send me a note and we’ll find a time that works for both of us.

I’m wishing you a very gentle June filled with things and people that rise up to greet you and help you to feel seen, appreciated, and filled with joy.

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, straight to you!

With love and deepest gratitude,
Kristy~

P.S. A very happy Father’s Day to those of you who are celebrating this month.

Inspiration Meets Action

Hello and Happy June!

I hope this finds you well as we move into a new month and a new energy. If arriving at June feels like a combination of shock that it’s actually June but also like it took forever to get here, you’re not alone. So much of this year has felt a bit like trying to move through a swimming pool filled with pudding. Maybe you’ve found yourself working toward a goal or chipping away at a project and found that it took much longer than you anticipated. Maybe it has felt like you’ve invested time and energy to create plans and then find yourself going back to the drawing board or needing to pivot again and again because something just won’t work. If so, again, you’re not alone and things are beginning to pick up the pace and movement is happening.

You may already feel the increase in energy within yourself and within those around you. There’s a quality of things feeling lighter and that things are moving easier and more quickly. You may notice that you feel excited and inspired to circle back to one or more of the projects that you have tried to get going this year and find that things begin to line up for you. One of the positives of resetting and reviewing is that you can really focus on how you want something to be so that when it’s time to take action you are confident in bringing your dreams into reality.

What are some of the things that have been showing up for you this year as themes, inspiration, ideas, or divine guidance that has moved you toward action? If you look back over your year so far you will be able to see or connect with themes that have been important to you. Even if your efforts have felt a bit like taking one step forward and one step back, that’s okay; just take a minute to think about what you’ve been interested in or guided to focus on this year. This is a great time to reconnect to these areas of interest and inspiration for you; and to begin taking action. The combination of knowing what you want to do and moving forward in that direction is very timely this month. You don’t have to do everything all at once and you don’t have to know how to do everything all on your own. Just start with one or two steps and you will see how the momentum begins to move you forward. If you need help or support, please ask for help from someone who can be of service to you. You may find that friends or colleagues have information or support for you or that they can direct you to someone who can help. You may want to reach out to a professional as well so that you can keep your momentum building and experience success in your endeavors. Whether you are building out a garden, a new website, a business, learning a new skill, preparing for a move, working on your meditation practice, increasing your spiritual gifts, or __________________: you can reach out for support when you need it knowing it will help you continue to move forward.

In addition to things moving more easily and a feeling of lightening; you may also notice that you’re being guided to lighten the things that you’re eating and drinking too. You may notice that you feel guided to drink more water or gentle teas and pass on that extra cup of coffee, soda, or energy drink. You may feel like you want to get your juicer out of the cupboard and start juicing again. Maybe you are craving greens, salads, and herbaceous foods. It can feel almost like a switch has been flipped and all of a sudden you want or feel like you need to have all the Phyto-nutrients. This doesn’t mean you won’t want to enjoy other foods and beverages too; it just means you may notice this call to increase lighter foods and beverages in addition to enjoying your other favorites. As a highly sensitive person, this shift in eating will also support you in working with this new energy and help you to move with the ebbs, flows, and shifts that are happening. You’ll find that this combination of lightening your body and the lightening of this energy will support you in more easily gaining traction on your goals and projects.

This is a powerful time to move forward and to enjoy the process at the same time. You’ve been working so diligently all year building the foundation for the changes that you’re bringing into your life and this is a beautiful time to bring those dreams into reality. So, take a breath, let go of any tension or stress that may be trying to hold space within you and give yourself permission to move into this new month with a renewed sense of excitement and inspiration. Focus on doing one thing today to support yourself in moving forward and remember to ask for help when you need it.

If you feel guided to work with me this month, I would love to support you during a session.

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Increasing the Volume of Your Inspiration, Insights, and Ideas

Happy June~

I hope this finds you well as we move into a new month and a new energy.
Did May feel like it was extra long this year or was that just me? Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are winding down the Spring season and preparing for the beginning of Summer all in the next few weeks. It’s an exciting time and one that brings with it lots of movement, shifts, and changes. You may have noticed this shift showing up for you in your life too. Maybe you’re literally moving, or maybe you can feel an upswing in your energy which is moving you to get things going in your life that have felt stagnant. However this energy is showing up for you, this is a wonderful time to take action on your personal inspiration, insights, and ideas.

Working hand in hand with this uplifting energy is a gentle but very palpable message about increasing the volume on joy. Sometimes we feel like our joy meter is either on or off but if you can think about it like a volume dial that you can manually increase at any rate you want, you can find ways to increase your dial at a rate that resonates for you. One of the ways that you can increase the volume of joy in your life is by investing in the aspects of life that feel meaningful and fulfilling to you. It doesn’t matter if other people in your circle enjoy the same things you enjoy, it only matters that you feel uplifted and fulfilled. Every investment in these activities increases that volume dial allowing you to reduce stress, tension, and feelings of overwhelm while moving into the flow of something you enjoy at the same time. Another benefit of investing in things that you like or even love to do is that you actually recharge your batteries while you’re doing_____________. You may find that you notice an additional boost in your energy, mood, and outlook allowing you to move forward with something that you’ve been wanting to work on. This creates momentum for you in many areas of your life, and simultaneously increases that volume on joy. Win-win.

There’s no one way or right way to do this, only the ways that feel right for you right now. For some people, they may feel inspired to make plans with people they haven’t seen in a while. Others may feel guided to take action on projects, dreams, or to do lists they’ve been meaning to get to. Some people may feel guided to begin clearing clutter, working on gardens, and other DIY projects that finally feel like “today is the day” kind of inspiration. Some people are being guided to delegate and ask for help. Many people are being guided to learn or practice new skills that they’ve been dabbling with here and there. While others are receiving messages about moving their bodies more, eating lighter nutrient dense foods, and getting outside more frequently. What messages have you been receiving lately? You’ll know that you’re receiving divine messages by the repetitive nature of the message and the thoughts and feelings that come with them such as, “I was just thinking that.” or “Woah, that seems like it was a message for me too.” or “Why do I keep hearing the same thing every time I walk by a conversation, turn on a video, or read a post?” Messages are often repeated over and over until we realize that they are for us. You can always ask for a confirmation if you’re unsure the message is for you. You may be receiving more than one message as we move into this new shifting energy. Finding ways to allow yourself to honor your messages in the ways that feel like a fit for you will support you in enjoying this shift while also honoring your inspiration, insights, and ideas.

As a highly sensitive soul, you may find yourself feeling a bit tentative at the thought of the messages or inspiration you’re receiving. That’s okay, if you notice any tension or tightness, please just take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth…good. You don’t have to do everything today. In fact, if you can try to shift your perception from tasks or work to play and fun it can help to decrease any nervousness you may be feeling. By starting with something, anything, you will begin to capitalize on that movement and momentum happening. You can choose something seemingly easy or fun or set a timer to work on something for a specific amount of time and then stop when the timer ends. Sprinkling investments of time in the things, people, and aspects of life that are meaningful to you will support you in increasing your joy. This will also support you in making the shifts and changes that are important to you which will also increase your volume on joy. You can do it and yes, you are 100% worth the investment of your time and energy. Your dreams, insights, and ideas are equally important as others and seemingly small investments always add up to big change.

I’m wishing you a wonderful new month filled with kind people, experiences, and opportunities. I’d love to hear how you’re investing in your personal inspiration, insights, and ideas this month!

If you feel guided to work with me or you’d like me to look at the messages that are showing up for you right now, I’d love to work with you. You can schedule your session here.

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, straight to you.
With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Reassess + Restructure + Recommit

Happy June! This is one of my favorite times of year because the weather is getting nicer + we get a little reset on the year. If you’re anything like me you love a good reset and an opportunity to fine tune some things. The 6 month mark gives us an opportunity to get really clear on where we’ve been so far and where we want to go with the remainder of 2019.

If you’re feeling a little bit sidelined by the fact that we’re halfway through the year, you’re not alone. This year feels like it’s been full of stops and starts and maybe you’ve experienced some big shifts along the way. No matter how your year has been going for you so far, you get an opportunity to take a little inventory and restructure some things that you want to highlight going forward.

There’s no one way or right way to do this, there’s just the ways that are right for you. However, it’s important to do something so that you can get clear on what you want to experience and what things you want to make priorities in the second half of your year.

Did you make a Vision Board back in January and then put it into the Closet?

Maybe it’s time to pull it out, take a look at it and see if what’s there is still resonating for you. Maybe you’ve accomplished some of your goals for this year (yay!) and you want to remove the images that you’ve checked off your list. Maybe you want to add new things that are more in alignment with where you’d like to go next. Either way, if a vision board is a tool that you enjoy using, make sure you find it a new home; one where you can actually see it every day. No more relegating it to a closet or behind a pile of random stuff.

Are you a List Maker?

I love a good list. Okay list makers, get out that list of things that you wanted to get done this year. Maybe you have several lists for different areas of your life. Get them all out and take a look at what’s been done and what’s still waiting to get moved up. Don’t go into melt down mode if you feel there’s still a lot on your list/s that haven’t been checked off. Take a breath and reprioritize your list. Move things around, remove things if this isn’t the best time to be focused on a particular area. If you want to you can make another list of things that are being put into a secondary priority allowing you to get to them once your most important things for the rest of 2019 are attended to first.

Are you a Quarterly Planning and Pie Charts Person?

Do you love flow charts, color, and lots of at a glace inspiration and planning? Or maybe you love all the software, apps, and bells and whistles to support you in moving forward with your goals or dreams. Get out all the things and check to see if the places and spaces you’re honestly investing your time is lining up with the colors and blocks that you intended to invest in this year. It’s okay if things have gone a bit askew. No problem at all, you can Reassess + Restructure + Recommit to your plan and vision for the next 6 months.

We’re constantly changing + dealing with the day to day stuff. However, having a clear vision for what we truly want to achieve this year is very important. The months will continue to move by but with a clear vision you can make a steady and consistent pathway toward the goals you have for yourself. It’s not too late, you haven’t missed the boat, and Yes, it’s still worth investing in your goals starting right now, today. If you need help, ask for help; don’t let this time slip away from you.

Breathe if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Make a commitment to yourself and the momentum you want to nurture for the rest of the year. You have 6 months to move toward the things that are resonating for you for 2019. Yes, definitely doable. Use this time as an opportunity to Relaunch your excitement, enthusiasm, and energy toward the goals you have for yourself and your _____________.

Focus on 3 things that you can do this week to move forward.
Start today and use this 6 month mark to Reorganize, Reprioritize, and Reenergize yourself and your year.

I’m doing the same thing over here in my little corner of the world and I’m cheering you on as you Rededicate yourself to your year!

Do you feel like you could use some extra support in moving toward your goals? I look forward to working with you and supporting you all along the way! I know you can do this!

With love,
Kristy~ xoxo
