Here’s the thing about being your own boss lady, or really any entrepreneur in fact, finding and being in a constant state of inspiration can be damn hard to chase/find within yourself. I’m here to let you in on my little secrets I’ve found on how to light your fire again when it comes to chasing after your passions! This whole staying at home because of a pandemic thing has lead me to realize two major things. This blog post comes from a time in my life when my inspiration was lost and shares how I got back to being the little inspired Witch that I am.

I fell into a couple of traps.

Numero uno, I had gotten friggin’ lazy working for my goals and just did the bare minimum so food could be on the table. Which I’m still super grateful that I’m able to eat, pay my bills and have clothes on my back pretty well effortlessly! But things had stopped moving forward. Number two I had stopped investing in myself which by doing so stopped the flow of the universe. When I started to reinvest into me and my passions my life mission became clear and inspired once again. Once I showed the universe I was willing to work for it, the return has been tripled ten fold!

My mission is being of service for you lovely beings who either book a healing session with me, tune into my blogs, talk meditation together, learn about essential oil plant medicine, and all the other goodies I love sharing knowledge on. You gotta keep investing in yourself to keep your inspiration, and the reason why you’re doing what you’re doing, alive.

Now I can hear your voice in your mind going, “but Emma how do I get inspired when I’m in such a slump?” So here we go, my little list of how to get your booty moving and get inspired for that dream life you’re going to achieve!

Invest in yourself! What does that mean? Well my friends it means stop buying unnecessary things online, your daily coffee at Starbucks, and especially going out to eat for every meal and start putting that money into yourself! Get that online workshop you’ve been thinking might help you boost your knowledge on how to market yourself. Go to that retreat that might be more than you budgeted for, but have faith that the universe has your back to get all your finances in order to go! Put money into finding a brander, or better yet take a course on how to brand! Honestly I know a lot of people who say “well you can learn it for free on YouTube”, which you definitely can. However, I have found that when I want to take my time more seriously, and to filter though all the information that is out there, I find someone who inspires me and look into what they are offering or teaching. I also find that when I pay for it I take it more seriously. It’s like “well I paid good money so imma get my moneys worth and put this to use!”. Now ask yourself, without thinking too hard, what have you been hemming and hawing over doing for yourself? Ok now stop thinking and go apply, purchase, or commit to it! Done are the times of other people making your meals and instead fuel yourself with your own home cooking! If ya know what I mean.
Music. Oh sweet, sweet music how one minute can take me down my deepest and most sad emotional landscapes to another moment getting me outta my chair and dancing the boogie woogies! Music is inspiration in its self, allowing it to altar your emotions if you allow it. So when you’re sitting typing away on your computer, being immersed in your easel and paint, or even walking your puppers, allow music to enfold around you and tune in to the language of music to flicker the light of inspiration in you. Truly tap into the mysteries of music by letting it altar your emotions into inspiration. When I know I need to focus and get some work done I put my sound canceling headphones on and let music guide my inspirations, flipping through playlists on Spotify till I find that one play list to zone me in. Et voila! Instant inspiration!
Get your body moving! Exercise is a moving meditation that allows you to connect to your body. Working out, or just moving the body builds fire in the muscles, lungs, and heart. This energetically unblocks areas of the body that might be holding old views, beliefs, ideas, and emotions! Fire, or Rajas energy in yoga, brings change, movement, and passion! So to keep your self feeling inspired and passionate for life you have to keep shedding the old in order to keep things fresh and exciting! Also make sure to switch up your exercise routines, this helps re-wire the brain to thinking and moving differently, which allows you to access other parts of the brain. Where some neuron path ways weren’t lighting up by doing the same thing over and over, when you do something new the brain wakes up and these pathways begin to light up again/differently. Which ends up lighting you up!

That’s it my loves! That’s what I do to help and keep me inspired to keep chasing my desires! Now these aren’t the only ways to bring inspirational energy into your life. But hey! Why not try one of these if you haven’t recently or haven’t ever! Keep trying new things, keep growing and keep getting inspired by this crazy thing we call life.

With Love n’ Light,

I would consider myself blessed to grow up and know what a happy, healthy, and loving partnership is. My parents who are still together, after 4 kids and over 25 years of marriage, taught me what to look for when it came to a romantic relationship. The fact that they still really truly love each other makes their relationship one of the most awe-inspiring things to grow up wanting to attain. Though it wasn’t the easiest to put into practice, it’s a lot more work than anyone wants to admit. After quiet a few trial and errors myself in the world of love I’m here to talk about relationship advice from a non expert. I’m someone who’s lucky enough to say I’ve been in many relationships that taught me about (and especially how to be in) healthy, happy, love filled relationships.

After all the honeymoon, fuzzy feelings, freaky nasty passionate sex you’ve been having has slowed down you’re left with another human being to have a relationship with. Not just that, but a romantic one! So here is what I’ve learned about how to get myself in to happy, healthy, and truly long-lasting loving relationships. I’m not perfect, but hey! These have worked for me.

The number one thing before you start trying to be in a relationship with another is making sure you love yourself fully first. This, and know who you truly are. The thing is, one of the hardest things to do is love yourself. Only once you’ve gotten down to the nitty-gritty of the aspects that you hate, shame yourself, or feel guilty for and instead have chosen to forgive, and accept them can you open up and allow love in. If you don’t love your dark sides the universe will only send you partners that mirror those parts you “dislike” and teach you what you haven’t learned. The teachings of how to love these parts of yourself, allows you to have gratitude towards past partners, yes even the “bad” ones. It might be hard but try and mirror back the qualities in your past partners that you didn’t like and find it within yourself. Once you find it try and find where it stems from (birth, childhood, teenage years etc.), If you can’t all good too! Simply acknowledging it is a step into healing/forgiving. Have you also ever noticed that the moment that you let go of chasing after relationships and you’re truly content on being on your own that that seems like moment the universe throws someone into the picture? Pretty much this is the universe going “ok cool, you’ve accepted this version of you, now let’s see what you’ve learnt”. With that, make sure before jumping into the next relationship you’ve looked yourself in the mirror and smiled so big at yourself because you truly love the person in front of you. Inside and out!

Ok, now the universe has brought someone pretty amazing into your life and you’re all like “ I like them but now what?” This is where you practice being clear in your communication! This is huge, especially during the courting days, when you’re starting to get to know one another. Be clear about what you want in a relationship, what your boundaries are mentally, emotionally, and physically. Be clear and don’t shy away from big things you want, whether it’s having kids later on, wanting to move abroad for a bit, or what kinda of relationship you’re looking for. At the end of the day I’ve found that if you’re able to communicate your needs fully no matter if you think the other person will approve or not is extremely important. It’s also the best way to figure out fast if this person is right for you, without wasting each other’s time. If they aren’t willing to accept what you’ve laid down, or at least willing to talk more/compromise then “bye bye” I say! Key point be open and willing to let a potential partner know your needs, and future goals. This will allow you to start on a good foot communicating within your relationship. The majority of problems that arise in a relationship have lead from some sort of miscommunication.

One last thing I’d like to advise on is that you’ll not always get along, and that fighting is healthy! Now the fighting I’m talking about is love based, most often where there is concern for their health and safety, and not that of controlling/abusive behaviors. At any point if your partner is physically, mentally or emotionally controlling you seek help or end things very quickly. If you live in BC Canada you can find help and more information if you think you’re in an abusive relationship by Clicking Here. The kind of healthy fighting I’m talking about is the ability to not always have to agree on everything. Having different friends, hobbies, views, and interests is very normal. Being able to agree to disagree is a great quality in a relationship. Sometimes you might disagree on lifestyle choices ie. smoking, eating, who you hang with, and so on, your partner should be able to bring this up with you, but a reminder that at the end of the day it is still your choice how you decide to live your life. Now, if your partner has concerns with any of them and you get in a heated fight, try and know that the feeling of anger comes from fear. Fear from wanting to make sure their loved ones are safe in all aspects, and they are just voicing their concerns. This is where that communication piece comes into play. After the heated fight breaks out and you’ve both had time to come cool off, you should be able to come back to one another and have a disscussion about why you’re both fighting. You still don’t have to agree or change but to listen to their concerns whole heartedly. Though, because you love them and you want to build a life with them their concerns should matter to you. Fighting in a relationship is healthy, abuse is not. Love isn’t just the easy and fun stuff, as much as we all want it to be, though working through the harder stuff is what makes being in a relationship worth it.

I hope you’ve received everything you’ve needed when it comes to relationship advice from a non expert. With that, here’s your neighbourhood light witch signing off!
