I slept in today and had some crazy dreams that had me wake exhausted and in a state of anxiety.
This is what I did to shift it.
I wrote this a few weeks ago right after it happened so I could share it with you…
At times in life things are just hard – our bodies are depleted, and it’s harder to stay positive. The doubts creep in and it’s easy to want to just crawl back in bed and ignore everything.
My mind was quick to remind me of all the things that hadn’t gone as I planned in the past few days, to remind me of the big project in process and the upcoming thing tomorrow that I’m not feeling quite ready for.
I let myself wallow for a while, feeling that I wanted to quit everything, get a regular “job” and just let someone else tell me what to do then check out of life and people.
Luckily, I recognized this for what it was — doubt and deception, and the adversary trying to take down my light.
Sometimes you recognize it, but just can’t think of how to change it.
My life is set up in a way that I have tools, resources, and knowledge all around me to stay in my flow of creation and in a place of faith and trust.
Yet, I still didn’t do it.
Until I did.
I went into my office, fell to my knees in prayer and asked God to help me to get through this quickly.
I grabbed my favorite peppermint and wild orange essential oils* and inhaled deeply for 30 seconds. I rubbed it on the back of my neck and the cloud lifted.
Then I got a paper and wrote out everything I was feeling/thinking that was depleting my energy and dragging me down. I poked holes in it with my pencil, and ripped it up.
I picked up my ‘Book of me’ and reviewed my vision, purpose, and patriarchal blessing.
I expressed gratitude to a loving God who is always there with us when we take the time to connect to Him.
I was feeling much better and off to church we went.
I am so grateful for how I have been guided to learn things and have things on hand that let me shift quickly.
It is my desire to share all that I have learned with the world so that I can help you get unstuck quicker and move forward joyfully as you live the mission you are called to.
Let me know what you challenge is and maybe I’ll make a video or blog post that will bless many others as well. Thank you for letting me be part of your life.

Been there! : ) The challenge is to just take hold of hope and cast out Satan and the doubt. I think this is a lifelong process but the tools do get better and the soul gets stronger. : )
