Tomorrow I'm headed to the #GrandCanyon for the FIRST TIME! I am so excited to see this natural wonder firsthand with my husband and 2 amazing parents who are flying across the country for a visit.β

Ever since moving to #NewMexico, I've kinda felt like I had to make sure this move lived up to others' #expectations. That I was doing enough, staying busy and keeping in line with my goals. Dear Ones, I'm slowly learning that we don't have to justify our crazy dreams to anyone as long as we're working our buns off to take care of ourselves and those who depend on us.β
π β
And it's not that anyone is actually on pins and needles waiting to see me succeed or fail. But it's incredible how it can feel that way sometimes. β
π β
Where in your life do you feel you're letting others' expectations mean more than they should, or affect your energy more than they should? As @BreneBrown so eloquently puts it, what is the story you are telling yourself? β
π β
The story I've been telling myself is that I have to found a successful coaching business, get experience in the brewing industry, write 2 business plans, get certified, get yoga teacher certified.. oh and keep publishing consistent blog and social media content.. all within the year. Or I will be judged - not sure who exactly is going to do the judging, but that's been the general fear deep within me. β
π β
I just had a conversation with an incredible coach for women spiritual entrepreneurs, and she advised me to, "Pay attention to the inner stuff that comes up as you start to put yourself out there in your business." Well, this is what's coming up for me! I hope it's a lesson we can all take to heart. β
π β
We have a #negativitybias that trains our brains to assume the worst, scariest stories. Get to know your stories and start the work of unraveling them. Then turn on that unceasing #selflove faucet and climb into that tub, because, Dear One, that's the greatest salve for #selfjudgement and #limitingbeliefs. β
π β
The only thing I HAVE to do out here is enjoy traveling to these beautiful locations (like the Grand Canyon) & allow them to deepen my #connection to the #Divine!

Exploring #soundhealing on the blog today! π§πΌπΆ People have been using sound - music, chanting, singing, and instruments - to bond, heal, & express themselves since the dawn of time. I wanted to see for myself how taking a "#soundbath" could help me activate my #parasympathetic nervous system & drop into a deep state of relaxation. After all, our bodies are the ones that do the healing when we allow them to. π§ββοΈβ¨π« Read about my experience on the blog (link in bioπ), and consider how you can challenge your mind, body, spirit to open up a bit more today! #spiritualexplorer #leantowardthelight #healing #healyourself
