My Morning, By Design

A few years ago I signed up with a monthly meditation coach. The meditations were beautiful, she is woman who is compassionate and passionate in what she does.

I fell into the trap of “what is trendy”. I cancelled my monthly subscription to “follow” a world wide well know meditation “guru” with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

My heart, felt a piece was missing. This “guru”, didn’t always seem authentic and something pulled on me. But, this well known person supposedly “knows what to do”, hundreds of thousands of people “follow” her. Someone who has publically talked about their trials and tribulations and built their guru career based on it. But, It didn’t feel genuine, to me. It’s hard to create a routine that doesn’t feel genuine, and feel inspired to do it everyday. I cancelled this as well. Because I value the money I spend.

I worried that I would never become a morning person, that I’m a “night hawk” and that is who I am. I cannot change that.

But I can, and I am!

I enjoy how refreshed I feel in the morning. How calm my mind is when I get up and get out of bed. How productive I feel the entire day, by prioritizing ME first!

The first meditation coach, truly is remarkable. For a small, affordable, monthly investment, she creates meditations each month as well as hosts an inspiration call for everyone to join at the beginning of that month to explain why she chose this theme and to offer her support as a knowledgable and experienced meditation coach.

With all that 2020 has brought, I have felt challenged to shift my life to honor the morning routine I have been visualizing, for a while now.

Getting up before the rest of the house, carving out time for me, to do whatever my heart desires before the world wakes up. All feeling a true ease and grace within the start of the day!

Angela is not only an awesome meditation coach, she means what she says. During the call the other night, which I am so grateful I listened to, Angela offered her one on one support, she asked those on the call if there was anything feeling heavy for each of us. The call also talked about the importance of clearing our emotions from our body, trapped emotions can cause physical pain.

I reached out to Angela. The past 3 weeks have felt challenging, among many other “obscatacles” this year. We chatted and Angela asked me what I was wanting to get out of the call. I was honest and said I need inspiration, I felt stuck. Angela inspired me to a 30 day meditation challenge with myself! We had a wonderful chat!

4 days in and I am LOVING IT! Waking naturally, before my alarm even. Meditating, drinking 2 bottles of water, 1 when I first wake and 1 after meditating. My hot turmeric tea. Journaling in my DailyGreatness planner (its life changing honestly) and my journal, reading from my daily inspiration for empaths and anything else I feel inspired to pull out that morning. Most of all, feeling the ease, the natural flow. Starting the diffuser while my tea is being made.

I’ve felt truly aligned with me, us, our home. All while still enjoying my time off social media, to focus on real life. Which has felt really good. To release any fears, worry, negativity and welcome in grace, ease, health, happiness, abundance, love, fun in all that I do. Bringing the focus back to the core of what and who really matters. I am grateful for Angela and her inspiration, to continue with Symphony of the Minds into 2021.
