MEJURI COLLABORATION & "DOING THE WORK"
I was very happy to receive my next piece from Mejuri. They sent me the ‘Layered Spheres Necklace’ and I am absolutely in love with it. This necklace really highlights my collarbone because of the almost choker length. The design of this necklace is gorgeous. I love the simplicity of the piece, and also the subtle texture of the spheres. This is going to be a summer favorite.
June has come with so much spiritual and emotional growth for me. I want to talk about DOING THE WORK and its relation to coming into your higher self. Doing the work is acknowledging and preparing to become the best version of yourself that you could possibly be. For me, doing the work consisted of the following things :
Looking back into my past and reflecting on how my experiences as a child effected who I am today. I wrote down everything I could remember about my childhood and I had separate conversations with my parents about childhood experiences, homes we lived in and certain questions I had. This allowed me to understand why I made certain decisions and how I was introduced to certain emotions.
Making a list of things I want to accomplish, developing a plan to execute them and then celebrating the small wins along the way.
BEING PRODUCTIVE, productivity is a big part of my self care. If I utilize my time poorly I feel really bad about it. When I have a productive day, I feel really good about myself. Ways I encourage myself to be productive is staying hydrated, eating when I need to, keeping my toddler satisfied and putting effort into my appearance. These things will keep me energized and in a mindset to get things done.
Letting myself feel hurt and sad. Allowing myself to cry when I want to cry. Feel those painful things. That way it can just pass instead of rushing my way through. The only way out is through.
Staying true to myself. Saying no when I want to say no, letting people know when they’ve crossed a boundary of mine. Removing myself from uncomfortable situations. Not feeling guilty for choosing myself.
LISTENING TO MY INTUITION has made life so much more abundant for me. In the past I would hear my intuition loud and clear, but ignore it because I was moving too fast to digest the directions. Choosing to live a calmer lifestyle with less obligations to things I don’t really subscribe to has allowed me to have a relationship with myself, and naturally my intuition.
There are so many more things than this, but this is the list of my work. Being consistent has helped me avoid depression and so much anxiety that I felt before. I can feel happy cells dancing around in my body. This is the happiest I’ve been consistently in a long time. I know this joy has come from doing the work. Doing the work is a trash phase, it hurts, you don’t look cute, you’re not glowing and you don’t feel creative. When you overcome you pretty much levitate into such a grateful mind state and the simplest things keep you happy. I know that bad days will come but I am equipped to handle them. I have the tools, now.
If you know you need to do the work, start today. It really never ends, but life just gets better and better. I am here to help if you need it. What does doing the work look like to you ? Comment below
