It’s Right in Front of You—Use It! 🦸‍♀️

It’s Right in Front of You—Use It! 🦸‍♀️

Every day, I do my best to look back and reflect on what worked and what felt like a struggle. This past week, I took a huge step forward—one that has the power to change life as I know it.

But here’s the thing: instead of feeling over-the-moon excited, I’ve been moving in slow motion. And honestly? That’s funny to me, given the gravity of the move I just made.

It got me thinking: Why do people often feel a different emotion than expected when they finally achieve a goal?

The Shift After the Pursuit 🎯

Here’s what I believe: once a goal is achieved—any goal—the shift happens. The energy of pursuing transforms into something else entirely.

I’d compare this to a crush. Think about it.

Are You in the Dark?

Are You in the Dark?

Shadow work has become almost a household name—and for good reason. It’s something that is absolutely needed if you want to 10x your life. You know the old saying: your past determines your future. Some may not agree with this statement, but it’s true.

In order for you to 10x your life, you need a clear vision. And what will help you gain clarity better than shadow work? Over two decades ago, I was first acquainted with this concept. I had some knowledge of the subconscious, but I had no idea what lies beneath—not until I started doing the inner work was I confronted with my shadow.

Then and only then did I start to see significant changes in my life.

See, a lot of the time we believe that we’re over the things that had an impact on our life. This isn’t to make you feel bad—this is to shed some light on why you are probably feeling stuck or why you’re not able to get to the next level in your life.

Yeah, you’ve probably created a life you’re proud of, especially if you’re transitioning into a new season in your life. This is when you’ll start to notice unresolved issues resurfacing.

One Life, One Moment

One Life, One Moment

“Time is the most precious gift we’ve been given—don’t wait for permission to unwrap it.”

Imagine you had just one day to decide: Would you finally live the life you’ve always dreamed of? Would you seize the moment, or would you ask for more time—as if time were something handed out like candy at a parade?

“The clock doesn’t pause for anyone—but you can choose to be present for every tick.”

The truth is, many of us would ask for more time. We’ve grown comfortable believing there’s always tomorrow. But here’s what we don’t realize: time is slipping through our fingers right now. While we scroll through social media feeds, comparing our lives to highlight reels, real life—the one happening outside our screens—is passing us by.

The Illusion of “Someday”

Write Your Joy: Journaling Prompts for Embracing Life’s Fleeting Beauty

Write Your Joy: Journaling Prompts for Embracing Life’s Fleeting Beauty

As we get older, life can feel as if it’s passing us by—not to mention our beauty. But what if I told you that the way we perceive aging can completely transform our experience of it?

One of the things that has helped me see things from a different perspective and maintain a positive outlook is self-care. There is something to be said about sitting in front of the mirror and doing my skincare, applying makeup, giving myself a facial, or simply saying my affirmations. These practices have allowed me to embrace the aging process with grace and gratitude.

The Power of Morning Gratitude

Another thing that has profoundly helped me is making sure to give gratitude first thing in the morning. In fact, it’s usually my opening statement when I write in my journal.

Studies show that when you start the day with gratitude, the rest of the day flows better. Giving gratitude puts you in a frame of mind that allows you to see and receive life’s challenges from a new perspective.

Doing this not only gives you peace of mind, but it also allows you to harness positive energy—leading to a transformative daily lifestyle that encompasses personal growth and helps you unlock your spiritual path.

I believe God hears our hearts and loves when we show appreciation for the life He gives us—something that you start to appreciate more and more as you age.

Being Kind Won’t Cost You a Thing

Being Kind Won’t Cost You a Thing

Many people tend to think that kindness comes from receiving equal parts of good on both sides, only to be let down when they find out the kindness they’ve given was one-sided. This usually provokes them to say to themselves, “Well, I’m going to act like the person and rescind their kindness.” Unfortunately, many people feel this way, leaving people disheartened, discouraged, and lonely.

I remember a time when I had to go to the post office to mail off a package to a loved one. I’d never sent off a package that size before; I was a bit confused about where to place the label. When I brought it back to the window, not only did the postal lady speak to me in an unhealthy tone, she wouldn’t listen to any of the questions I was asking beforehand that might have helped me from making the error in the first place.

When Sorry Doesn’t Mean Anything: The Power of Perspective in Conflict

Every day, people navigate situations where apologies feel hollow or never come at all. Whether it’s something said in haste, a point made incorrectly, or even cultural dynamics where hierarchy trumps truth—yes, it’s wild, but it’s real—we’ve all been there.

So what should you do when confronted with this situation?

Step One: Take a Deep Breath

Say Yes to Yourself—Your Nervous System Will Thank You

Say Yes to Yourself—Your Nervous System Will Thank You

Elizabeth Magical Garden

Have you ever stopped to think about why your nerves get rattled when you’re not even doing anything? This could be a sign that you’re tired of being tired. Whenever you’re not being completely honest with yourself, your nervous system will start acting up. Why? Because your feelings matter. What you want out of life, believe it or not, is important—no matter what the naysayers will have you think. Your dreams are valid.

Think about it: how can you live a fulfilling life when you’re not being honest with yourself? This could be a major roadblock when it comes to moving forward in your life.

A Simple Practice That Changes Everything

One of the things I find helpful whenever I find myself in a place of confusion is this: I go outside and take a 20 to 30-minute walk. Studies show that when you go outside and walk, your nervous system becomes calm—not to mention the fresh air does wonders.

Simone Says Yes! Choosing Yourself in a World That Says Otherwise

Simone Says Yes! Choosing Yourself in a World That Says Otherwise

🌸Elizabeth Magical Garden🌸

Have you ever thought to yourself why so many people are eager to follow what everyone else is doing? As human beings, we are naturally drawn to coupling up—after all, the old saying goes “we’re stronger in numbers.” But what about being solo? Is there harm in being single?

The New Era of Self-Priority

In today’s society, many women are choosing to build their careers rather than starting a family. Dating has become a cesspool of survival, especially for women who have already taken that route. Women today are choosing themselves rather than being attracted to someone else simply for the sake of not being alone.

In an age where everything one could ever want is at your fingertips, women are choosing their careers and building their own ecosystems. Gone are the days where one has to solve problems alone—with technology, the answers are at your fingertips. Continue reading “Simone Says Yes! Choosing Yourself in a World That Says Otherwise”

Act: Choosing Kindness Over Reaction

The Last Act: Choosing Kindness Over Reaction

What would you do if someone told you “No”? Would you react defensively, or would you move forward and exercise your faith? Most people would rather push their way through when it comes to the things they want or believe they should have, and in some cases this may be a good alternative—but not so much when dealing with people. As the old saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” (although I must say I’m not too proud of that statement, being a cat lover myself). The point I’m making is that kindness will get you much further than rudeness.

One day I was short on cash and had to be somewhere quickly, so I went to the store where I knew an ATM was provided for customers. I have to admit I don’t regularly go to an ATM—I prefer to go to the bank, not only because it’s safer but also because you don’t get hit with ATM fees. As I was fumbling with the machine, a woman behind me spoke in a, well, not-so-kind voice, asking me if I was using the machine. Clearly I was using it—everyone in the store looked up as her voice projected throughout the space.

Everything You Need Is Already Within You

Everything You Need Is Already Within You

What if I told you that everything you’ve ever wanted is already inside of you?

Many people operate under the false notion that they need to study for years on end to be successful. Don’t get me wrong—education is definitely a powerful tool to have. I believe in higher education. But what I’m discussing here is something much deeper: an inner knowing of what you can become, if only given the chance.

From the time you were born, you were programmed to become who you are right now. Think about it: your parents told you what to eat, how to speak. Then you went to school and they told you how to think. You really never had a choice or the time to find out who you truly are.

In a world that is always evolving, it’s pretty safe to say we as a society are confused.

So how do you reclaim your power when everything and everyone tells you otherwise? Continue reading “Everything You Need Is Already Within You”
