Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.
Dr. Mae Jemison
The time is now, family! Ain’t no way around it. If August was anything, it was a month of confirmation. A month of alignment and revelations. I hope I wasn’t the only one experiencing this level up mentally and visibly. I started the month off in Jamaica and it set the tone for the rest of the year.
We are going into our harvest season. It is time to reap what we have sown. It’s also time to clear the way for abundance. It’s time to release so much and this month I have a few tips that won’t fit in a #TeaTipTuesday !
It’s time to release the fear of being seen. Our ancestors had to hide and cower. That does not have to be our story. They hid so we could walk tall. It is our time to honor those who came before us by shining as bright as they knew we would be.
Don’t mind shame, especially in front of the children. They need to see different ideas of what freedom could look like. You inspire others to be themselves when you are proudly authentic. Being different is a superpower in a world where conforming and assimilating and appropriating makes you millions. If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for the children!
Release guilt and its weight– IT’S NOT YOURS TO CARRY! In that same token, release the need to suffer. Our ancestors carried so much guilt and shame and look how far they got. Look at what they left behind for us despite the pain and suffering they had to face! They had these same feelings and still were able to lay the groundwork for where we are today. Imagine what we could accomplish if we put down the guilt of the past. Regardless of what we’ve done we still have a whole future ahead of us filled with possibilities. Take advantage of it before it’s too late.
Release stress and all that tension. Find wonder in the unknown! Remain curious and vigilant. There’s always something to be overthinking but conserve your energy. Trust yourself! You have all the answers you need! Anything you don’t know you don’t need to know and when you do you will. Have faith.
Stop doing other people’s work for them or putting their work over yours! Aren’t you tired?! Doesn’t it leave you with less energy to do your own work? Aren’t you still alone when you are in need? Doing others’ work keeps you in a perpetual state of lack. Lack of free time, energy, mental space, and love. Conserve your energy for your own fights!
To the previous point, release the need to take care of everybody!!! And while you’re at it, let go of people who don’t make you feel good. You will know when you are needed! You will know when someone is aligned. Stop wasting time on potential. Again, conserve your time and energy for your own battles!!
Finally, family, slow down and release the need for speed. Urgency is a trap and a trick. It’s cousins with scarcity and best friends with lack. You deserve to enjoy each and every second you have in this reality. You deserve to take your time and be present with yourself and those around you. Speeding through life is like that movie Click- living your life on fast forward through the good and the bad times. We will never be this young again and everybody dies. Enjoy the life you do have. It is your birthright. Your joy just might be what saves the world!!!
