✨ energy …

Sooo it’s no secret that I tend to soak up other people’s energy like a sponge & it can be difficult for me to stay grounded in my own happiness and optimism when someone around me is feeling upset, anxious, depressed, etc. I’ll be the first to admit — I have a hard time when people around me are in a bad mood. It makes me really uncomfortable and I feel
So off…I always want to fix it and I often take it personally, even when it’s clearly not about me at all. I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach that aches. I often find myself wanting to troubleshoot someone else’s energy state, rustling around for something that can help them and make them happy again. I hate when people hurt. I see such beauty in the eyes of others even if there is sadness or conflict. Sometimes people want that kind of help, but other times it’s a losing game and I just end up suffering too…
This is something I’m seriously, actively working on…. To allow people to go through things and push through the pain or obstacle, life lesson, whatever you want to call it , And just be there if they need me.
Everyone is on their own journey … I always say when someone is going through a life change or being tested ” it’s like going into the fire, through the ashes & into New life” if you just have blind faith that God or there is a higher power directing your life and you trust the journey I promise it all
happens the way it should, even if it doesn’t make sense…
Do not take things personal and realize not everyone is in the same
Place as you, soulfully, spiritually, emotionally , romantically …..

The truth is, everyone is coming from their own unique perspective based on their past,faith, beliefs, relationships, view of the world…etc. we all react differently to situations but rarely do we actually take that into consideration when someone else’s energy is affecting us..or someone is loving us in a way we don’t understand….. It doesn’t mean they don’t love us or care about us, it’s Just their way, and that’s ok…
Relationships are truly our greatest teachers, as it’s almost impossible not to be affected by the energy of the people we spend most our time with ….and if your like me and when you care about someone there isn’t anything you wouldn’t do for them, when it isn’t reciprocated we tend to feel let down….even if it’s as simple as a phone call back…

The most important thing when you’re dealing with someone else’s energy is just to stay grounded in peace and love and be a good power of example. Eventually your positive energy will calm and diffuse any negativity (or, alternatively, you can remove yourself from the situation).

Detaching yourself from the situation, giving the person space, and not taking it personally are probably the best remedies out there…this can often be the most difficult thing to do if you’re a “fixer” type of person like I am…

Moral of my Monday night thoughts —> keep yourself high vibe & positive! Don’t take it personal when someone around you has weird energy or is going through “stuff” …

I read this quote awhile back and I always think of it …..
“It took a long time for me
To realize that people love differently”– and once you have realized this, only then can you find your kind of different ✨✨😉 pretty powerful huh!

“And you know, at the end of the day, when things are difficult, we just have to try to love people even harder. ” 💕

Love Always, Sarah Elizabeth

Sooo lately I’ve been going through a lot… A lot of changes, growing, decisions ….
It got me thinking — we’re always going through changes. Everyone is going through something. Sometimes we feel stable, & at times we feel totally lost. Sometimes there’s a lot of freedom in our lives, sometimes it feels like we’re bound in a lot of ways. But it’s those “in-between” phases that seem to be the most uncomfortable – when we don’t feel totally stable and we’re not quite sure what’s next. Those are the times when we have a choice — we can desperately cling onto something that resembles security even if it doesn’t make us happy, or we can accept and enjoy the ride — every crazy up and down — feeling our way through it the whole way — knowing that our “Inbetween phase” is the sweet spot where we can experience radical growth…..

Drive across the bridge. You don’t have to understand it all right now. Information and understanding will come later. You’ll get to the other side. For now, trust and experience what you’re going through. Know that this time of change is sacred.” -Melody Beattie

Sometimes crossing a bridge is scary if all you’re doing is looking down. But if you just keep going, putting one foot in front of the other, crossing over the bridge, you just might enjoy the journey and find something amazing. As they say…”don’t quit before the miracle.”

“I have been running, so sweaty my whole life, urgent for a finish line….and I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete.”

rapture:

1. the state of mind resulting from feelings of high emotion; joyous ecstasy ……

I mean, whoa. This is good. So if you feel like you’re on the bridge right now, join the party, and courageously keep going. Don’t be in such an anxious hurry to get to the other side. There are amazing things to be experienced on the bridge. And some very cool people who are also bridging it along with you. Take it one day at a time…

With that being said…
I have stepped out of my comfort zone. I’ve tried to feel every emotion fully .. And above all I’ve let go and let God have his way.
I can’t even begin to tell
You how blessed I am …. My insides are screaming!!!! Everything is magically falling into place … From amazing job opportunities to love .. Just everything. And I’m not saying it can’t change tomorrow but I truly appreciate it and am
Soaking it up now! Life is so beautiful if we don’t try to see the finish line or control it…

“wake up every day and show up for your life.”
“don’t quit before the miracle.”

Thoughts of the day
Love you all,

Sometimes when I’m lying in bed, I catch myself thinking .. ALOT..lol I’m sure most can relate 😊

I always say I don’t want to be fearful, I want to live to the fullest. Last night I started thinking about all the things I haven’t done, but want to.. about the places I haven’t seen yet, the people I need to spend more time with.. The love & beauty In this world im forever in search of… The longings of my heart. As I was thinking, I began to realize that I think so much at night because it is the only time I have to myself, to be completely alone.. I 💜 this time & definitely don’t have enough of it. I realize that I’m extremely hard on myself! I work hard, I make “to do” lists everyday, I want to be and accomplish sooo much,I want to help everyone, always try to make sure everyone is ok, along with making sure IM ok. I take on by far to much…I was feeling overwhelmed by emotions …

Eventually, though it took a while, I fell asleep with my thoughts……

But then something strange happened.. The sun came up, and my alarm went off, and I got to be here again.. And what I thought about—even before my coffee—was the life I lost the night before. I have a sense of clarity.. the little voice saying ” slow down and smell the flowers” what really matters is a big question. I wake with a huge desire to LOVE …To be all that I can be. To help whomever crosses my path. To pursue ALL my dreams,BUT above all to enjoy this short but wildly amazing journey of mine! I think my biggest mistake is not realizing I need to just breathe, & make sure I’m ok..I’m not saying throw away your “to do” list or don’t make time for others, but if you start feeling like You need to do everything in one day, start thinking from a low-level energy place, like everything is so dire and immediate and needs to be done in a limited amount of time. feel pressure in your chest and kind of want to just go back to sleep.. SLOW DOWN 😊

so, yea… you can accomplish all your dreams and still be present, making each day count!
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, YOUR ONLY PRIORITY IS TO RAISE YOUR VIBRATION.
***Quite simply, to get yourself in a better, lighter mood. Do something that reminds you of how magical life is, and how lucky you are to be here. Something that makes you grateful, something that makes you appreciate yourself and your life. Something that gives you a little pep in your step. Something that makes you smile.😊

For me, getting outside is super important. Just going outside and taking a walk to the park, getting a tea, or a green juice ..interacting with good people – can make a huge difference.

Calling a friend and laughing about your craziness, and how crazy everyone else is too, is a great way to raise the vibe!

Listening to awesome music is another great way..

Hang out with someone you love!

Breathe. Meditate.

Move. Walk. Do a headstand. 😜

Help someone else!!! Seems like the last thing you want to do when you’re overwhelmed, but it’s really legit… If coming from a loving place & the person your helping appreciates you.

Think in terms of possibility rather than limitation. Overwhelm is a choice. To-do lists and many priorities are self made. Only you can let yourself off the hook. Start by raising your vibe and making the commitment to ENJOY life and let things flow, and see what you feel guided to do. It’s amazing.

And one day I’m going to love it all..💜

“At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets & when you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!” -Steve Maraboli

Love Always,

Love this quote
“You send me all these roses.
Every time I think the last bouquet has arrived, finally, another turns up.
I’m running out of vases.
I didn’t know roses came in so many colors.
You say they’re the perfect symbols of love because they have thorns and love is pain.
I say life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
And you don’t get it.
You say you love me, but you don’t speak my language.
You don’t even realize I’m an orchid girl.”

I know you love me, it’s just not the way I understand & that’s ok…

Don’t you think it’s so attractive when you meet someone who just seems to be high on their life? Someone who is just kind of jamming out to their own tune..It’s fun to meet people who are all lit up like that.

When you’re in love with what you’ve got going on in your life, people can’t help but feel magnetized towards you. I really like this concept because people always think they need to change who they are or become somehow perfect before they can attract more love in their life. But if you’re feeling good in your own life, then when you meet someone you have chemistry with, it will be (as my best friend says), “the icing on the already awesome cake.”

Plus, energetically, if you’re feeling good about your life, you’re more likely to attract someone who’s in vibrational alignment with that. Same goes if you’re not feeling good.

So if you find yourself always feeling the need to change, manipulate things, become perfect, chase “unattainable” partners, or whatever, it might be time to focus more on getting snuggled up and cozy with the love you can experience just through being happy with your own life, first.

“I’m in love with a girl who’s in love with the world…I can’t help but follow.” -Amos lee

Everything moves me…
I feel things so deeply…and that’s ok…

The way a stray dog follows a stranger , the way certain people look at me with an ache that I can see in their eyes..a person at the corner with a sign “cold & hungry”.. To hear the personal journey thus far of people I meet, the good and the bad, heartache & struggles…to see someone do a good deed not for anything other than just that.. a good deed, to help another… How fiercely I love people even if the end result is painful or disappointing ..how im always see untapped potential in people and so badly I want to help them…how hopelessly romantic I feel about love…the ecstatic bliss and the deep sadness that can envelop me and pierce me to the core.
That following my intuition feels like a physical need as much as breathing. The way people are drawn to me because of the “light” I possess ..that all my long time friends and even some I have met recently share their stories and ask for advice or direction, even though at times extremely draining, very rewarding. I especially love when someone just wants to share because they trust in me enough to just listen.
I wouldn’t give up that sometimes when I’m walking around outside or driving in my car I cry because everything is so beautiful and awful and so extreme ..
I would never give up any of this .. The intensity makes my inner world insanely colorful.
