The Ultimate Blog Challenge, Winter Edition

Happy New Year!!

And welcome back, UBCers. It's great to see you again.

In this post, I'll be sharing my mission for the year and for this month's blog posts. I'll also tell you my tale of woe and what I am going to do about it. 

It's going to be a wonderful year!

Stay with me, because I've also got an invitation and a gift for you, right here in the post...

My Mission & I Choose to Accept it

This year, and this month, particularly, I intend to offer inspiration, information and encouragement that will empower you to let go of and heal the core wounds, core beliefs and the connected painful feelings that are holding you back.

When you can let go of and heal whatever is in your way, it will not only move you farther along the self-love journey, but also give you the ability to create a life you love - not someday in the future, but every day.

We are so disempowered ​
​when we haven't healed.

"This is a Story All about How My Life Got Flipped, Turned Upside Down"

My mission for my own life this year is to heal myself and empower my own transformation. Mind you, that has been my mission for decades now.

And a lot has healed!

But still, somehow, I have managed to hold myself back while simultaneously working really hard, and getting nowhere fast. 

Why and how? I've been on a quest to find the secret, the holy grail that would finally empower me to be successful and make the money I wanted and needed to make. And I hustled like a mofo trying to get after it, but nothing worked.

Well, here's what finally sunk in...

I realized that I am already empowered to create the life I want. But the reason I've been stuck is that right after asking for what I want and while being very busy trying to create it, I am basically, holding up a stop sign to the universe.

And here's the thing - I also didn't have any kind of trust that I could create the big life I dreamed of, so I worried it away from me.

I've been a Mack truck in neutral, succumbed to life, instead of being an empowered co-creator with it.

It got worse after my life went to hell several years ago! The result - poverty, financial and food insecurity, more depression, more anxiety and a sense of hopelessness that was a constant struggle for me.
​

But Here's What Has Changed!

I finally got the message that busy work is a trap that doesn't lead anywhere good, and that contrary to popular opinion, the hustle is NOT my solution, or my ticket out of the life I have now and into the life that's waiting for me.

My empowered path is a path of healing. With healing as my top priority, and biggest time and energy commitment. And some of that healing is going to look a lot like rest and not doing much of anything.

What I can do for you is the easy part for me. I am rolling in, flush with and full of ways to heal and ways to help, and amazing stuff I can teach. But that is not what is most important, right now.

It's gotta be me! And I have to tell you, I'm excited about that. It's a daily flip of the switch, because "put your nose to the grindstone" is a core belief for me.

But finally, I really trust that that is not my purpose.

And I'm so happy to finally get it. I'm quite optimistic about this new year.

The Dreamer's Journey Begins Again

Thank goodness, I have never given up on myself - for long! And I have come to love myself more and more. Been working on trust as a spiritual practice..

I've learned that slow living and a simpler life are antidotes to the hamster wheel & the tyranny of the never-ending to-do list and that I have to make that the center of my life plan.

I've learned in a deeper way than ever before that healing the past and firing it as a predictor of the future is a thing I must do.

I've learned that in order to do that I'm going to have to rewire my brain and evict all of the feelings that have been hanging around rent-free.

And I've learned that as I do that, I will become more and more likely to attract the people I came here to help and get paid to do it.

​And that, of course, will change my life.

Stick with Me, Kid! I'm Going Places

If, like me, you have been feeling stuck in neutral, and you know that some healing needs to happen for you this year, then join me. Each day, I will be sharing what I know about how you can heal what's blocking you and create the year you want.
​

What to Do First

Before you fully embrace this new year (2022), spend some time letting go of 2021.

Make a list of what you regret about the year we are leaving behind, and then use the powerful, 10-minute guided meditation below to release it all. You can give yourself 10 minutes if it might change your life, right? 
​

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine
