I'm Living The Way That I Want

This pandemic life is a challenge…but we are survivors. The roller coaster of emotions wave up and down like the political climate and the quarantine life rules & regulations. We have all been through so much.

No matter what, I always try to hold onto hope and faith. (My mom named me for a very specific reason.) We can get through this. We just need support from like-minded souls. We also could stand to trust ourselves, take control of what we can take control of and surrender everything else. There is no more time to waste settling for what no longer serves you. We all know, life is short and sweet and we must live our lives to the fullest as best as we can…..yes even considering this pandemic.

I remember having my first formal astrology reading by Joseph Addeo recently and I was told whatever I was doing in the past no longer works. Yup, it is vital I continue my transformation, to push past the fear and limitations I put on myself and be open to doing things differently, to take the time to learn about things I’ve resisted. Total wake-up call, but honestly, my intuition already knew this to be true, I just wasn’t listening as intently as I should have. And so I am embarking slowly going about life with a fresh mindset and exciting new professional goals.  In terms of my personal life, I feel validated that my values are in alignment with the boundaries I’ve set in terms of what I will and will not accept. Oh how freeing it is!

I invite you all to try living in alignment with your values if you feel you have gotten off course. Going about life with a sense of newness and putting into place action steps and boundaries that allow you to live on your own terms.  Take time to sit with yourself each day and reflect, meditate, journal about what you desire, about what you need to let go, about what you are grateful for.

I love the Alicia Keys song featuring Khalid  “So Done.” Alicia & Khalid paint a picture of just being sick and tired of giving all of themselves to others. They have their wake-up call and then go on repeat singing “I'm living the way that I want.”

'Cause I'm so, so done

Got it, my time

Holding me back

I'm living the way that I want….

I lost control of all of my energy

Done so much damage to my heart

I've given in, I've changed my identity

I didn't mean to go so far…

Oh my God, I wish

I could be, better than this

'Cause I'm so, so done…    

What are you going to do to live the way that you want? What needs to shift in your mind? What actions must change? I’m rooting for you. Time for some action.
