There's a light at the end of the tunnel: "How to find happiness in a time of despair"

When there's so much despair and darkness it becomes difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But we have to realize that darkness is a byproduct of being lost and disconnected from Source/God/divine however you identify. This is a naive state of mind, unknowing of the SOULution that has always been in you the whole time. When you take off those dense shades you can truly see life and all its glory and recognize you carry the torch within you to light the path you just have to walk with intention. I hope to help you find that hope and joy again despite the circumstances we are all facing collectively. There is no quick fix, but lean on SPIRIT and your light will shine.

So, LIfe seems pretty bleak right now, huh? It’s the holiday season and you can’t travel without maintaining a six feet distance and wearing a mandated mask covering your face; the best way we connect with each other. This can certainly fuel uncertainty and anxiety within you. You have a huge family and you are used to buying gifts for every single person and you may not be working at the moment and you are stressed about that as well. And don’t even get me started with your contributions to the family meal. Are you up to the challenge this year with your littles ones even more demanding and overwhelming than ever during the holiday season? These are all very valid yet black and white complaints. There is a sense of end all be all, this feeling of right or wrong which is a mental illusion. Let your intuition guide you. I'm here to tell you we have options and so often due to social and societal programming we forget we can create our own SOULutions. We are co-creators of our own reality and have the power to make life what we want. Traditions are great but life is flexible and fluid even the strictest of traditions can evolve and still maintain its essence and purpose. When you find the root you are lead to SOULution.

Ok, so you got laid off now what? Apply for unemployment or if you already have it, stop and say thank you! In other words like my idol Iyanla Vanzant says’ “So what, NOW what!” That spoke to my SOUL lol that tough love hits different when you resonate with that person's struggles. A lot of the time we have been stuck in this negative mindset that we can't even see the blessings that we ALREADY have right in front of us. Look beyond what you “perceive” as negative. See the glass as half full, center in gratitude and optimism by reflection on the present moment and growth. See things for what they are and not for what they aren't or could've been. Affirm: Scrooge doesn’t live here anymore tell that voice in your head to bah-hum-bug somewhere else lol. You have been given a break, appreciate that ish and enjoy it for what it is real talk! Yeah it’s not the six figure income right NOW, but affirm that ish is COMING! However, you have to have faith and trust in YOURSELF before anyone else can see what you see. Hold onto your VISION and all will fall into place on DIVINE TIME! Do the work and show the universe what you are made of, you are WORTHY of all the luxury you want in this lifetime. You are royalty, now act like it, until you believe like it, then achieve it. My motto fake it till you make it boo boo. Here are a few ways that I center in a GROWTH mindset and not a LIMITED mindset.

Steps to take to align with your Light, Blessings and Abundance:

Heal: I don’t believe in ever bypassing the healing process if you want true abundance; not superficial bandaging. If you want the light at the end of the tunnel you have to conquer the dark closet first (i.e. Shadow/Ego/Inner child work) when you peel back the layers you start to see the light within that has been shining all along. “Life isn't so bad” begins to be your NEW state of mind and echoes in your heart.

Love yourself as you are NOW: You are worthy, you are loved, you belong just as much as anyone else, you are deserving of a fruitful life. Meditate in your heart center to attract pure HEART & SOUL desires. These are YOUR TRUE desires not the MIND desires formed by your EGO or Subconscious programming. *This is the secret of manifesting, Self-love and an OPEN heart.

Relinquish expectations & set boundaries...with yourself and others. As a Selfish babe This is also a part of self-love. Tis the season to say, NO or NO, thank you! It's a complete sentence. Honor your limits to maintain peace, balance and harmony in your life .Align with positivity not disappointment. Avoid neglecting yourself.

Have faith: Believe it till you achieve it, affirm: My blessings already here I just have to align with my higher self. My blessings are coming on DIVINE time.

Build trust within yourself: Start by fulfilling small daily tasks to show your mind you can achieve anything you put your mind to no matter how big or small. Harness your POWER! This increases your Intention, thus your ability to manifest the life you want.

Reflect & Ground in gratitude: Relax in the NOW: play, laugh, rest, enjoy life. Stop and smell the roses. It’s ok to take a break, put the phone down and take a chill pill.

Connect in Community: Vent/share your stories, struggles with those you trust and love most. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or guidance. Leaning on each other, but not on that one sided BS these energy vampires be pullin.

embrace change as the only constant: Go with the flow and alignment is inevitable don't dwell in discomfort. Remember there aren't any regrets, only lessons. Be a student of life to stay abundant.

AFFIRM: Everything's gonna be alright, I am safe, all is well, everything works out in my FAVOR all the time!

I love you and keep pushing, stay present, heal, and attune to abundance.
