Let’s find the funny!

Celina Myers - known on Instagram and TikTok as celinaspookyboo. Oh my goodness, I get so excited when she creates a new video. Some are of her sleepwalking - which she does safely and is monitored but her editing of those videos are hysterical. She also does those dad joke type of videos to annoy her husband - and those open with “hey, Adam!” When I hear that, I get so excited. She’s an absolute riot. I recommend checking her out if you haven’t as of yet. It might not be your cup of tea but she usually makes me giggle - and we all need a giggle from time to time. They are great resets.

A GPS Reset Exercise

My beautiful friend, take a deep breath in, and out. 

Feel your feet on the floor, or buttocks on the chair. Experience it a bit deeper in your body than you did a moment ago. Really feel that part of your body in contact with the floor, chair, bed or ground. 

Take note of the physical connection. 

Take any negativity that you have in your mind and allow it to flow together  - almost into a circle gathering any hidden negativity as it slowly spins. Future worries? They flow into the circle. Past negative experiences that you re-hash (or relive) in your mind? Those also pull into the circle like a whirlpool. 

Anything that is positive and that is clarity for you remains outside of the circle and easily stays where it is. 

Take another focused deep breath in and as you exhale, I want you to imagine everything that’s in that negative circle, releasing from within you on that breath and exiting in one clean sweep. 

While you feel the negativity has left, we’ll do an extra cleansing breath in - and out - the crumbs of negativity that remain, run to join the negativity that has left your body and your mind. 

You, my friend, have gifted yourself with a mental thought-cleanse. Is this a thing? Well, I’m deciding it is today. 

[giggle]

You take a moment as you breathe in and out to enjoy the peace that is within you now. 

I’m inviting you now to repeat after me (either silently or aloud): 

I have gifted myself with freedom from negative thoughts that do not serve me. I release thoughts that are not based in the present moment. I give myself permission to notice them but I allow them to continue on their way. By staying present in this moment I provide myself with peace, time and energy. I will soak them up and use all three to create momentum to move forward in my life. I am freaking amazing. 

And with that, my friend,of course, you are amazing.

Talk tomorrow!
