 I was just sitting here overthinking the joy out of everything. ~Unknown During Saturday's workshop, one person had a moment and started to overthink on how to cut paper into strips for an exercise. We all had a good chuckle about her "overthinking" and then started to discuss how we all have a tendency to overthink. We even started discussing the feasibility of "overthinking" being a a "generic" trait of people who have the "analytical" superpower (the ability to understand and solve complex problems using the information we have available). So imagine my surprise, when an email and a podcast arrived on Sunday with the title "Overthinking Olympics". What I learned.... Overthinking is a habit! This is what Sas Petherick has to say about overthinking. Do you overthink as if it were an Olympic sport and you are actually in training for medal contention? Do you find yourself replaying conversations hours or even days afterwards? Are you prone to never deciding? This episode is for you my friend! Overthinking is a massive time and energy sucker but the good news is overthinking is a habit. And like all habits, it can be unlearned with some practice. So in this episode we’ll explore what overthinking actually is, what causes it, and then walk through some practical exercises you can experiment with to stop overthinking so much. I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject. I have my own thoughts on the subject and I will share them with you next week. So stay tuned!

 “Choices after waking up: Self-care first or self-care last. Your choice.” ~ Robin Rosenstiel Because I live in a farming community, I can always tell when Spring is in the air. There are tractors, farm equipment, and trucks running non-stop in order to prep the soil, fertilize the soil, and plant seeds. As a highly sensitive intuitive empath, it is easy to find myself getting caught up in this farming “go-go-go” energy of all work and no time for rest or play. The “go-go-go” energy sneaks up on me (because I'm picking up everyone's frantic energy) and then the next thing I know, I’m stretched out on the sofa feeling exhausted and burned out. Over the course of the past several weeks, I spoke to several alternative self-care healers, and they all had the exact same response… I’m so busy right now! I don’t remember the last time I took a day off from work! It's always good to learn that I'm not the only one feeling how the energy shifts of nature impact people. As Mother Nature shifts out of hibernation mode, people tend to shift into a frantic “go-go-go” mode. I like to call this... SPRING MADNESS Just this past week, I caught myself slipping back into this crazy energy pattern of “I can’t remember the last time I took a day off” mode. So this past Sunday I decided to take an R&R afternoon off to hang out at a winery and just slow down (the yard work and home improvement projects can wait until another day regardless of what my mind tells me). As a result, I woke up Monday morning feeling refreshed, relaxed, and happy. By Tuesday I was starting to feel off balance again. Thank goodness I had already prescheduled a Reflexology appointment. It was during that appointment when I slowed down, connected to my body, and could finally feel how much of this “go-go-go’ energy I was physically absorbing and how it was impacting my stress level. Afterwards I was like… Wow – really I needed that 60 minutes to disconnect from the "go-go-go" energy and simply relax into bliss. I can’t stress enough the need for a regular self-care routine to improve your overall health. And for those people that are highly sensitive intuitive empaths, self-care is a necessity and not a luxury! Ways to add self-care into your routine? Try yoga, medication, walking in nature, journaling, painting, massage, reflexology, etc. Any activity that gets you out of your head and into your body. And if you are looking to expand your energy self-care routine, check out my offerings: May Sound Bath Journey, or Energy Rebalance Not sure if you know if you are slipping into this crazy SPRING MADNESS energy.

I would love to hear about your self-care practices and signals that you are getting off track. WEEKLY MINI-SOUND BATHMAGICAL THINGS TO CHECK OUT  Do not wait. The time will never be just right. Start where you are, and work with the tools you have now. More tools will magically appear as you move forward. I had so much fun and received such great responses from the Shoe Sound Journey, I starting thinking... What would your toolbox look like? And what tool do you need to use now? So I decided to create another sound journey. Check it out below and let me know what you think. My friend Sue did a test run for me this week and all I can say is... WOW - Talk about Magical!!! This is what Sue discovered about herself during the sound journey. Sue's toolbox is a brown satchel (soft, practical, comfortable, and supportive). This image perfectly describes who she is and how she does her intuitive readings. And her gift...a key to help people unlock their hearts and open up to their purpose. And WOW...Sue is ready to bring this tool/gift out into the world!!! Check out Sue's free weekly intuitive reading below (YouTube). And if you like her style, Sue has a brand new ESTY store. Sue always wanted to have her own store, and due to COVID, she has decided to step outside of the box and has created an ESTY store for intuitive readings. Check out her ESTY store link below.

WEEKLY MINI-SOUND BATHMAGICAL THINGS TO CHECK OUT To wear dreams on one's feet is to begin a reality to one's dreams. Thanks for all of the great feedback last week in regards to "The Shoes I Wear". My favorite feedback comment... "I need a vision. I'm smack dab in the middle of a desert dry spell!" So what did I do? I created a mini sound journey (below) to assist you in finding your next pair of "shoes". The purpose of this sound journey to for you to get out of your head and connect to heart to discover what next adventure and vision is calling you. After I completed the video, I did the sound journey myself (because I would never ask any one to do something I would not do myself) and all I can say is... REALLY?!?!?! Yellow High Healed Shoes?!?!??! Who wears yellow shoes? How did I feel about my shoe vision? I cringed at the thought of Yellow Shoes, which I guess is kind of funny if you look back at my own color choices. I started my shoe adventure in junior high wearing a pair of yellow converse shoes and now I have a yellow front door and a yellow sofa. So yellow isn't a foreign color to me. Why did I react this way? As soon as I cringed, this thought popped into my head. Because... PEOPLE WILL SEE ME! OMG - this has been a continue story of my life. Over the years, I have turned blending into the business crowd as an art form. Why? Because I've been told time and time again "You can't do that! This is the "correct" way you do it!" Leading the Reiki Refresher Workshop last month reminded me of my unique gift of understanding frameworks and then shifting the framework to better fit the real-world vs. following the absolute rules. Let's face it...people tend to judge me because... I DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES So it looks like this year, I'll be going off the beaten business path as I continue to create my business on my terms vs. following the "standard - this is how you do it" rules. I can't wait to see where this goes! Below is the Shoe Sound Journey Meditation. I would love for you to check it out and let me know what you discover (excitement, adventure, curiosity, shock, etc). After the meditation, journal the answers to the following questions: How do I feel about my shoe vision? What is my reaction? How can I be open and curious? And if you like this meditation, please sign up for tomorrows workshop as we will dive deeper into our visions and our next steps. Details below.
