“We are our own healers. We are the master creators of our life. And the sooner we come to realize that, the sooner we can release trapped energy in our body. Remember the practice takes time and it’s through ritual and discipline that you will notice the true effects of a calm mind.”

“If you're living through that abundant mindset, if you're living through the overflow and the overpour, then you simply understand that there's always more and that you don't have to work hard to get it.”

you don’t need patience either
instead show up to your desires
like God sent you....

don’t measure “success” on someone else’s measuring stick create your own

don’t focus on promises, blueprints, guarantees

82: FIVE STEPS TO NAVIGATE TIMES OF TRANSITION

In this episode of Waking Up With Melissa Ruiz, I’m speaking directly to my fellow soulpreneurs—to anybody who has a dream and has dared to put themselves out there to share their story, claiming that they’re the first in their lineage to heal generational trauma or build massive amounts of wealth, or both! But in the process of rebirth, in which we choose a brand new spiritual path for ourselves, we must be ready to embrace the phase which precedes new life: death. The whole world is experiencing transition collectively, globally. We’re even in a new astrological new year!

“Taking actions is great. But sometimes, the best thing we can do is embrace solitude.”

“If we desire something, but what we ultimately acquire or experience doesn’t live up to our intention, then it’s time to home in on what’s not working when it comes to your mental game.”

“Ease” doesn’t mean “easy”. It will be hard, but we’ll actually dive into the mess and carve out the magic in that mess.

The messy work is having compassion for the season we’re in, and to dig deep to discover what we really need as we move forward.

Invoke good stress, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. Saying “yes” to those things rewires your brain.

“There’s a new currency in town. And it is not physical money. It’s your energy, time, and learning to attract this vibration from your energetic feeling.”
