Let the Quiet Moments Hug You

The message I am getting is this:

Sometimes we need to get quiet before we can get loud…

I’ve been letting the quiet moments hug me. It feels like I'm reclaiming yet another part of myself. The flip-side is sometimes Joan (my inner critic) tells me I’m not doing enough. Anyone else with me on this? Raise your hand if you’ve been should-ing yourself!

In these moments, I’ve been checking in to see where I’m actually getting parts of myself back.

It’s easy to get accustomed to doing/building/achieving/striving. Chasing in this way can lead to burnout, depletion and exhaustion. In many ways slowing down–or "taking it cool" as my Nana called it–feels like recovery. It has been really lovely to listen more deeply and honour and nurture myself. If you feel this as you read, I would ask you:

Where can you release the should’s and stop striving? Where can you lean into BE-ing.

The one thing I know to be true is that everything unfolds in divine timing when we allow it.

Before looking outward, look within to ask how you are feeling. Your feelings are here to show you everything. Right now I believe we have the opportunity to release the should’s, and follow the Joy-crumbs back to ourselves.

What do you most want to experience? What is your hearts deepest desire. If you're not sure then right now can you give yourself some space to embrace the quiet?

Give yourself permission to BE where you ARE. Even if it means stopping. We need to stop pushing the merry-go-round if we want to stop spinning, catch our breath and move forward purposely.

Embrace the quiet moments. You will know when it's time to get loud about your life.

Just for today, can you slow down and lean into BE-ing.

May you let the quiet moments hug you.

Wishing you a beautiful week with soul hugs and things that light you up from the inside out,

The reality of dreams

Every now and then I have moments when I remember how misaligned I used to feel in my life. I was working a job that left me feeling depleted and depressed. I dreaded the day ahead and couldn't wait to be finished work to go home and swallow it all down with a couple glasses of wine. Despite numbing myself, I was still on a spiritual path. It just wasn't as clear as it is now. I would get up every morning and write out Louise Hay inspired affirmations about what I truly desired. About how I wanted to use my strengths and gifts to be of service in the world to support and connect with others who are similarly passionate about making an impact by sharing their gifts.

Flash forward to now and my dream life is a reality. It's not perfect, but it is blessed AF. I'm sober and more plugged in than I ever thought possible. I'm surrounded by people I love who love and value me and I spend my days working with amazing clients doing things that bring me and the world JOY...

Why am I telling you this? Not to boast (though I do believe in celebrating ourselves and our lives)... I am sharing this because I want you to know your desires and dreams, the things you crave on a soul level, are here to show you what is possible. Step one to achieving your dreams is believing they can actually come true. So believe in the possibilities and dream your ass off!

My friend, it’s time to wake up to a life you freaking love! One that feels exciting, and purposeful, and Joyful, and abundant, and aligned. Don’t get me wrong, there will always be opportunities for growth (aka: challenges), AND when you are in alignment you will realize it’s all here to grow you.

Are you ready to believe in yourself? In your limitless possibilities? I sure hope so. The world needs that special thing that only you have. It’s time to move toward your dreams and shine!

If you knew that you could make your dreams come true by writing them down every day, what would you write? Take it a step further and feel into the experience of it. There is magic in naming, claiming and feeling into your dream experiences. This is why I do it and I encourage all of my clients and students to do it. This sh*t works! This is the #1 secret to becoming a master manifestor.

BE A WILLOW

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or wobbly right now?  

If you can, take a moment and close your eyes. Imagine you’re in a beautiful field filled with sunshine, blue sky, fluffy clouds, and a light warm summer breeze on your skin. Imagine the sound of rustling leaves as you come back to yourself. Come back to the place of inner stillness and peace. Listen to the wind blowing lightly around you as you feel into your centre. The sturdy and untouchable place that exists no matter what is going on around you!

Today I am invite you to embody the Willow. Allow the winds of life to blow through you rather than knock you off your center. Feel into the sturdiness of the earth as you move with life. Feel the sun on your face as you reach toward the light. 

Wishing you peace and inner sunshine!⠀

INvite in Love & Compassion

I thought perhaps you could use a reminder to send loving kindness to yourself today. 

You are doing the best you can. Whether or not you want to be better at whatever it is your should-ing yourself for…

Can you give yourself the room to be today? To be wherever you are, doing whatever you are doing with out judgement or criticism. Treat yourself with tenderness. Place hand to heart and breathe love into your heart. For yourself. 

No matter what you have or haven’t done, you deserve it. 

Have a beautiful day inviting it all in.

SURRENDER TO LIFE

Yesterday I admitted defeat. A group call I was on crashed for the second time this week. I recorded it again to find out it didn’t save anywhere. I was going to re-record it but I knew, based on my energy, that as much as I wanted to show up for others, I needed to show up for myself. And so instead of recording again, I told the truth, honoured my heart and body and got some much-needed rest. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣Sometimes showing up means being honest about not showing up!⁣⁣

If you feel like you’re falling apart while trying to keep everything together, can you take some time (even just 5 mins) to objectively look at your plate and everything on it? Ask yourself how you feel about each task, commitment, agreement. ⁣If you are feeling anxious, stressed out or overwhelmed, it’s typically a sign that you are out of alignment. Our emotions are our guides!⁣⁣

⁣⁣No one expects you to do it all. No one expects you to be perfect. No one needs you to prove anything. 

The world wants you to feel as good as possible.⁣

​If you are doing things at the expense of yourself, your loved ones or the things that truly matter to you, this is a sign. You don’t have to live like this. The world won’t end if you admit you can’t do it all. In fact, quite the opposite!⁣ Holding yourself hostage with “shoulds” and overwhelming to-do’s allows the ego to keep its fear-based claws in us. We’ve all been there and will likely be there again. Because Joy is a practice.⁣⁣ Feeling good takes practice!

⁣My question to you is, are you ready to start practicing? Are you ready to start honouring yourself and move toward how you want to feel and what you actually want to experience? If so, ask yourself honestly what you can gracefully release, decline, or renegotiate today. Take inspired action and make the call or send the email. Let me know how you feel after! ⁣⁣

⁣Surrendering to life on life’s terms is an incredibly freeing thing. The more honest and genuine we are about where we’re at and how we’re feeling, the more we give others permission to do the same. Isn’t that a wonderful motivator? Giving each other permission to honour ourselves? Have the best day being beautiful you.

So much love to you beautiful friend,

appreciation is everything

Let’s start things off with an attitude of gratitude...

Several studies show that a regular practice of appreciation can have a significant impact on our health, happiness, satisfaction with life, and relationships with others. Gratitude allows us to bring our mind to the present moment while bringing our focus to positive experiences and emotions.

This week, can you commit to Joy by listing 5 things you're grateful for on a daily basis?

Even if you've heard of it before, or done it before, I'd like to invite you to use it as a regular practice this week and notice how it makes you feel. I recommend using a journal to jot down down your list each day. Let's call it your Joy Journal!

If you find it challenging to come up with a list, here are some prompts to write about:

• something that made you smile or laugh
• a recent learning experience
• a person in your life
• a time you were able to help another person,
• someone who did something nice for you,
• a recent accomplishment, or
• one of my go-to's – breath! I'm always thankful for breath. 

That's it that's all! What are you grateful for?

Joyfully,

Jillian
