Affirmation: “I am completely free.”
Journal Prompt:
How can I create more space in my life?
Self-Care Ritual:
What did you feel when you read the affirmation for today?
“I am completely free.”
Did you ponder the thought that you’re a sentient being, free to decide your own fate?
Or did you literally consider if you’re a captive; to a person, to a job, to a limiting belief?
For me, it was a combination of both.
I’m blessed to live in the United States of America, and therefore have certain inalienable rights. I am completely free. And I’m not ignorant that many others in the world don’t enjoy that luxury.
I’m also blessed to work for myself, and I’m building my own business. Many others are tied to the wage their employer offers, working when they’re scheduled.
The most amazing freedom I enjoy, the place I truly feel completely free, is in my ability to believe as I choose in regard to my soul. And just as the Revolutionary War ultimately brought about America’s freedom, learning to love myself took a revolution of sorts as well. My soul’s freedom did not come without me taking part in actively changing things. And yours won’t come without it either.
The soul revolution takes movement away from what doesn’t work, and toward what does. And that movement requires you to assess things in your life. Which is where the journal prompt comes in…
How can I create more space (freedom) in my life?
Let me see if I can explain it another way…
You walk into your bathroom, flip the switch to turn on the light, and notice nothing happens.
The room stays dark.
Now, you must pause, and attempt to repair the issue, so you can proceed with your day. But how do you know what the issue even is? How do you proceed from here?
Do you immediately assess why the light is not turning on?
Do you head for your power panel, to check the bathroom breaker?
Do you grab a flashlight, and check to see if the bulb is burnt out?
Or do you simply stand there, continuing to flip the switch on and off?
You won’t know, until you do the work to get clear on the issue, and then you’ll be able to fix what’s broken.
We have to do the work of assessing our situation. Then, we can begin the process of fixing what’s broken in our Universe. And as we do the work, we’ll gain more self-control, more self-respect, and ultimately more freedom, through self-acceptance.
It’s all about being intentional, listening to your intuition, and incorporating new practices that help you become confident, and experience true freedom. And today’s self-care ritual is just such a practice. We’re going to create a Miracle Jar!!!
A Miracle Jar is an actual vessel, that you make or select for yourself. In the choosing, you assign meaning to the container as your personal Miracle Jar. The jar then becomes the receptacle for your worries, giving you a tangible way to release them, thereby creating more space… more freedom… for your soul.
First, you need to choose a jar.
Please consider your jar to be sacred. This container is not just a decor item, to look pretty in your home; it’s a bridge between you and the Universe. Select it with care, as it has a very important, empowering and transformative job to do. Its appearance, stature and energy must all be considered.
NOTE: I’ve been saying “JAR”, but the actual container can be any vessel that feels right to you. Just choose something you absolutely love and cherish. Oh, and it also needs to have a lid, or some other way to close it. The possibilities are endless, so let your intuition guide you.
Now comes the best part… Using your Miracle Jar!
Step 1: Identify a specific concern, that is taking up space in your life. Get clear on exactly what is whirling in your mind. It can be anything that stresses, worries, bothers, nags, or otherwise pressures your space. What exactly do you need to release?
Step 2: Continue clarifying this “worry” further, by seeking what resolution you desire for it. What would be the healed thought you want to see? By transforming your worry into a positive outcome, you begin to open yourself up to receive that very resolution.
Step 3: Write a description of the resolution of your concern on a piece of paper. In other words, write what you would like to see come to pass. Be sure to use a new piece of paper for each situation; then you can come back later, pull out the Miracles that have taken place, and create a gratitude celebration!
Step 4: Fold the paper up to suit the size of your container (going as small as possible), and place it into your Miracle Jar. As you do so, envision that you’re handing the worry over to the Universe… literally releasing it from your own grip. The resolution is no longer up to you. Repeat steps 1 thru 4, until you’ve released ALL your worries!
Step 5: Give thanks for the resolutions that are coming, and put the lid on the jar. This signals the Universe of your intention to lean into your feminine energy, believing things can be resolved, and it will all flow in with ease, in accordance with the highest and best plan for you. You’re opening yourself to receive, and telling the Universe you trust everything will work out as it should.
I hope you’ll join me in this ritual, because although ascending into the woman you’re becoming will cost you… whether it is in the form of people, relationships, spaces, or material things… it’s always going to be worth it! So choose her, over everything, and the most fantastic,magical things can happen… it all starts with a wish!
