Overwhelm, Self-Discovery

Recognizing Overwhelm in Our Lives

Quote: “A woman who lives with the stress of an overwhelmed schedule will often ache with the sadness of an underwhelmed soul”. – Lysa Terkeurst

I remember the day clearly, not long before my cancer diagnosis in March of this year, when I sat at a table and screamed out and cried as I expressed to my spouse Don and my daughter Sivanna, how overwhelmed I felt.

I said things like “It’s just all too much.” “I can’t take it anymore”. “It’s all just too, too, much!!!!”

The Soul Speaks

It appears that my soul was screaming out loud and clear that I needed to address this. ๐Ÿ™‚

And addressing the issue indeed happened. I was diagnosed and my whole life changed, and for the better I might add. I am now a proponent of limiting both my stress and my overwhelm and I seriously wish I that I had been better at doing this years ago. I am not one for regrets so it is simply full-speed ahead and moving forward with less overwhelm and more grace in my life.

Overwhelm can come in many forms and from many sources. For example, we are now in an information age and that in itself can be overwhelming. Another factor that can lead to overwhelm, especially for women, is that we tend to take on too many tasks in order to make sure everyone else’s lives run smoothly, and unfortunately that sometimes means that we let ourselves get run down and frustrated and thus overwhelmed.

These days, you will often hear me say the words “no stress” or “no stressing” when it comes to a conflicting appointment or something throwing off a schedule for example. I find this really helps to remind me to just ‘back off’ and to not let the stress run the show and take charge of me. I take charge of it before it can lock itself into place, just like a cancerous tumor creates itself in the body.

I like to now think of myself like my cell phone in the fact that I don’t want my battery to run low or to 0. I want to keep me at full vitality and to not get depleted. Depletion of energy and overwhelm are a deadly combo.

What about you? Can you look at areas in your life where you feel overwhelmed? Can you recognize that? That is the first step.

When we own our own power and practice self-care we can ramp up our vitality and decrease overwhelm.

Lose Your Cares & Transform Your Life!

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.

Wow. I love this quote! In a nutshell, we just need to be us … being us. I love it!

I discovered this a few years back. Who was I? A life coach? What type? A business coach? A speaker? A writer? A healer? And the list went on. NO I realized and shouted to myself “I am ME being ME“… ME inspiring others through coaching, writing, healing, words, speaking, blogging, etc….. It was a beautiful moment when it clicked. ๐Ÿ™‚ I got that it wasn’t about ‘what’ I was being, but about ‘who’ I was being.

Maybe take some time today to reflect on ‘who’ you are and encourage yourself to let you be the full and biggest and best version of you being YOU!

In love an light…..

Life Purpose, Numerology, see333, Self-Discovery

What Is Numerology

When I first learned of this ancient science, my life truly changed for the better. I remember the moment distinctly. Someone sent me this:

โ€œThose on the 30/3 life path are here to work through issues of expression and sensitivity, overcoming self-doubt to express themselves and use their inner gifts to encourage, uplift, and inspire others.โ€

It comes from Dan Millmanโ€™s book โ€œTHE LIFE YOU WERE BORN TO LIVEโ€:  A Guide to Finding Your Life Purpose, and I happen to be a Lifepath 30/3.

When I read that passage my whole life made sense! I understood myself and I really โ€˜got who I wasโ€™. It was like my life flashing before my eyes. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Anyhow, from that moment on I became fascinated with numerology and I began to study it. To this day I resonate with this art form involving the frequency of numbers. Everything has an energetic frequency and so do numbers.  Each number has a unique vibration, giving it certain properties. These properties can shed light onto a person’s behavior or predict whether romantic partners are compatible. Numerological analysis can determine a person’s soul urgings and tendencies. Recurring numbers can offer clues into how the world works or the significance of people and events. There are so many people today seeing recurring number frequencies on a daily basis. For example 11 11, 333, 444, etc.

Pythagorus, the mathematician born in 570 BC, developed the Pythagorean theorem and that is what most people know him for, but he also developed and taught a system for numerology.

If you would like to explore your own numbers and what they might mean I do offer numerology reports.  There are 3 to choose from:

  • Life Path Overview
  • Yearly Forecast
  • Relationship Compatibility Report

I love using tools like numerology to help myself and others to discover more personal insight into what moves their soul and why.

It’s Back to Kindergarten for Me! :-)

Here is the audio of this blog post if you prefer to listen rather than read, or both ๐Ÿ™‚

I had a thought yesterday while I was learning something new. I was trying to figure out how to start recording audio and podcasting for the very first time. I spent part of the day googling, recording, uploading, and using new platforms. And it was a success. I felt really empowered and really good at the end of it.

Later in the day while I was doing my yoga,  it hit me! I flashed back to my kindergarten class. I can still ‘feel’ how that felt. It was so exciting, new and fresh. I can remember vividly turning the pages of the coloring book, the smell of the crayons and the vibrant colors as I created in this book. It was my masterpiece.  I can still remember the moment when I fell in love with Robin’ egg  blue.  It was exhilarating. It got me thinking…..

Why do we lose this feeling and why do we sometimes feel inadequate when we don’t know something, or when we want to learn something new? Why as we age, do we think we are supposed to be more adept at learning things or that we ‘should know how to do things’. Or why are we  afraid to ask questions and expose our inadequacy?

I think we should all go back to kindergarten in the way we learn.  We can get excited and feel like we have our whole life ahead of us, because we DO! The rest of our life is our whole life and we can learn new things, open our minds, venture out, try new things, use crayons, paint, draw, and even stomp our feet if we want. ๐Ÿ™‚

See you in class!

Authenticity

While looking up the Webster’s definition of authenticity, I picked this one as my favorite. Number 3 of course. ๐Ÿ™‚

3 : true to one’s own personality, spirit, or character
is sincere and authentic with no pretensions

We hear this word a lot out there today. It’s all about being authentic and I couldn’t agree more! It’s where it’s at! It’s the place to be!

I thought today I would write a little about what it means to me, when I think of us being authentic. Authentic people have the strength and the courage to be true to themselves and to be who they are. They embrace their uniqueness and know that it is in fact their gift!

Authentic people are honest, vulnerable, intimate, unique, bold, daring, passionate and real. They are brave enough to share a piece of themselves with the world. They are strong enough to bare their soul and to let it shine!

You see authentic people in the world with labels like artists, creators, musicians, authors, poets, rebels, free spirits, the givers, the lovers, the cooks, the bakers, and the candlestick makers. Everywhere you look you see them. ๐Ÿ™‚

There is a tender and vulnerable side to authenticity too. It involves approaching life with sincerity, honesty, openness, and vulnerability.

And then there is the daring side of authenticity that involves boldness, greatness, and glory!

Whatever words you attach to it, I wish for you the JOY of being and living through your authentic self. We are all here to discover our gifts and authentically share them with each other. May you live the beautiful and authentic life of your dreams and desires!

Insight, Numerology, Self-Discovery

Give The Gift of Insight

“What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen”. โ€” Henry David Thoreau

If you are looking for a great last minute gift for someone that can be sent via email anywhere in the world, I have the perfect gift for you!

“At birth, our parents gave us a name; the universe gave us a number, or frequency.” Dan Millman. The Life You Were Born to Live: A Guide to Finding Your Life Purpose

As many of you know, I have been fascinated with numerology and the science of numbers for many years and have personally learned so much about myself through it. It was life changing for me in fact, and has helped me to create my ideal life and has also assisted me to understand what I am passionate about.

For example, the first time I was ever introduced to my Life Path number from Dan Millman’s “The Life You Were Born to Live”, this is what I read:

“Those on the 30/3 life path are here to work through issues of expression and sensitivity, overcoming self-doubt to express themselves and use their inner gifts to encourage, uplift, and inspire others. Most people come into life to work on a mixture of issues, but for 30/3s, their work and destiny are clear and focused. Those working 30/3 have the support of inner gifts, which include highly tuned sensitivity, inner strength, expressiveness, and intuition. All of these resources complement and support one major life theme: emotional expression.”

Reading this absolutely changed my life for the better and in that moment I had complete clarity of my life purpose here on earth. It all made sense and came together for me. Ever since then I have had a passion for sharing and helping others to better understand themselves through this ancient practice.

Throughout my life and my work as a Life Coach, I have used numerology with people and it has been the most fascinating and insightful tool ever!
