Coming In Hot | Recalibrate, Retreat, Reprioritize

Hello and welcome to August!

I hope this finds you well as we move into a brand new month. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you’re probably experiencing some big heat as this month is traditionally very hot. But no matter where you may call home, this month, we’re starting off with big energies which can feel very intense even if it may be cooler in your corner of the world. Along with the big energies, very strong messages and themes have been coming through for support. (thankfully) I’m going to share some of the most prescient messages with you in the hope that they will offer you some additional comfort, support, and insight.

You may know that we’re already inside the Mercury Retrograde window. This round began in the middle of July and will be with us for another 10 days not including the shadow period that follows. There are several retrogrades happening right now in addition to this Mercury Retrograde. Elizabeth Pendleton has shared very detailed information about this here and if you would like to get all the details about the astrological insights happening right now, I encourage you to go over for a visit. (You may remember Elizabeth as a regular guest on my former podcast, she’s amazing!)

The messages that have been coming through have been about how to more easily move through this shift we’re going through. You may have noticed that some days you feel like you are getting so much done that it feels like one day is several days all wrapped up into one. Other days you may feel like you can’t believe how fast the day has gone by and that you can’t remember what if anything got done. You may be experiencing some ascension symptoms too which can vary from one day to the next which can compound these feelings that each day is very different from the day before. If any of this resonates for you, please know that you’re not alone, in fact you’re in really good company.

The first big theme that has been coming through is about Recalibrating. You may have noticed that with all of the energies coming through that your body, mind, heart, and spirit may be experiencing a lot of shifts and changes too. Maybe you’re noticing a lot of emotional waves showing up for you or maybe your body needs more rest than usual. Perhaps you’re feeling guided to eat lighter foods and drink even more water than what tends to be normal for you. Maybe you’re finding that loud sounds, bright light, and even background noise can feel overwhelming when it never really bothered you much before. Maybe you’re finding your threshold for crowded places seems to be lower than it used to be in the past. Maybe you’re remembering that old adage about good fences making good neighbors…and thinking about how you can apply that to other places and spaces in your life because you’re just done with all the things that don’t resonate with you anymore. Maybe you’re experiencing all of these things in different amounts on different days. This energy is creating change all around us and we are experiencing its impact within and around us too. We are absolutely recalibrating and the more we can honor the needs of our mind, body, heart, and spirit to the best of our ability the more gently we can move through this energy shift.

Retreat is the next theme that has been coming through as a support system. You may notice right away how this message works hand in hand with Recalibrate. The more that you can give yourself permission to retreat from the things that are no longer honoring you (to the best of your ability) the more you can let down, and move into a state of rest and renewal. Retreat can encompass a lot of different things, including but not limited to taking a 15 minute tech break, going for a walk, or saying yes to something that brings you joy. Retreat can also include day trips, scheduling self care treatments, or settling into a good book. Retreat can also include saying no to things and people that aren’t compatible with you and your value system. It can include true rest, good sleep, and investing in calming, soothing spaces so you can let down and retreat from the day. Creating ways to honor this theme throughout your day to day life will allow you to move through this shift more easily while also supporting you in cultivating a lifestyle that’s in alignment with where you are right now.

As you may have already guessed, Reprioritize is the final message for today. Just like Retreat followed Recalibrate, we have Reprioritize as the closer for this 3 part message. Organically, we can see how as we shift or change anything in our life, things change. You know that saying nothing changes if nothing changes? This is what’s happening right now, and it’s happening organically because when something changes, things change. You don’t need to try to stop things from changing because the change is already happening, it’s already in motion. If you’re someone who loves and enjoys change, this message about reprioritizing may feel exhilarating and exciting for you. Fantastic, lean into that energy to support you in making your new priorities and new focus. If you find that change can be a bit of an opportunity for growth for you and you find yourself trying to hang onto things and situations that have run their course, take heart and a breath. Even seemingly small shifts when it comes to reprioritizing leads to positive change. Focus on what you’re being guided toward and if you feel like you’re not ready to let some things go, give yourself permission to set them on the back burner. The energy is already in motion so if you’re not sure about what is clearing out for you, pay attention to the things that are trying to get your attention and your focus and notice what things feel like they’re naturally moving away from you. This will give you a clearer insight into what you’re being guided to reprioritize right now.

As you move through these big changes, the more you can remember to Recalibrate, Retreat, and Reprioritize, the more ease you’ll find in this process. Please remember that there’s no one way to do this, there are lots of ways and the ways that matter are the ways that resonate for you and your life. You may find that what works one day is different from the next day. Just be gentle with yourself during this process and please reach out for support when you need it. Sometimes when we try to do everything on our own for a long period of time it can make things feel more difficult. Maybe reprioritizing receiving help can be a support system for you right now. Please remember you can ask your angels and guides for support and help during this time (and every time) as well. If you feel like you could use some extra courage, confidence, or protection, you can work with Archangel Michael for some additional support. If you feel like your emotions or ascension symptoms are in need of extra tlc, you can work with Archangel Raphael for support. There’s so much support available to you, this is only an example and these two Archangels often work together and have been very clear about wanting me to gently remind you that they are available to support you, if you feel guided to work with them.

If you feel guided to work with me to get some clarity and specific messages for yourself right now, I would love to support you. You can schedule your session here.

As always, I’m sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world straight to you!

With deepest love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

P.S. I find that having a nice cold glass of lemonade or limeade can really help with all the goings on as well. I’d love to hear what’s working for you right now too.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year~
Welcome to 2024!
I hope this new year will bring you and yours blessings, joy, happiness, and peace. I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and that this message is finding you well and rested as we begin a new year.

I want to gently remind you that the holiday hangover phenomenon is real and if you're finding yourself in need of a little more rest, a little more quiet, and a little more time to fully move into the new year energy, you're not alone. If you can find little ways to honor your need to go slowly this first week of the new year, please give yourself permission to do so. Things that feel supportive for you can help you move more gently into this new year.

Whether it's things like: 

  • jammies, cozy socks, and tea or

  • slowly putting away holiday decorations at your own pace, or

  • limiting screen time so your body can rest and recover or

  • ________________________

Any of these things can help you so that you feel ready to focus on the new year when the timing is more aligned for you and your energy. Trying to push or force yourself to be ready when you're not isn't helpful for you. I promise you'll feel the shift happen, but for now please be gentle with yourself and honor the wisdom you're receiving.

However, if you are starting to feel the subtle shifts showing up for you right now, you may want to spend a little time, even 10 minutes investing in some journaling or listing themes that you feel guided to focus on throughout your new year. There's no one way or right way to do this; only the ways that resonate for you right now. You may feel guided to choose a word as a theme or perhaps you have a few themes or goals that you know you want to focus on this year. Maybe you want to make a new vision board or screen saver collage to help you to see the things that are a focus for you in 2024. Maybe you feel guided to use a combination of things to help honor and focus your intentions for your new year. In any ways that you feel guided to move through this process, you will find that it helps to move you forward. Any action that you take no matter how seemingly small helps to build momentum and supports you in taking the next steps. 

As you move through this process, I encourage you to include some dreams to your vision boards, lists, themes, and words. Often times, especially as adults we focus on the projects that are prescient, currently in motion, and things that are practical or pragmatic. These are worthwhile and important aspects to include in this sacred work. However, that being said, please leave a little room for dreaming, laughter, joy, fun, and play. After decades (yes...decades) of working with clients and students from all kinds of backgrounds, this is an area that shows up again and again. Please don't feel sad if you're thinking that these lighter or perhaps less prescient aspects of life weren't the first things that popped up for you as you were thinking about what might be on your list for 2024. You can include anything that you want, and these aspects are equally important and as valuable as the aspects that focus on the bottom line. You don't have to choose only from column A, you get to choose whatever you feel guided to choose and you can update your list at any time. Yes, you're worth it and no, you don't have to finish several items on your to do list before you can enjoy happiness, joy, and peace. You are worthy right now. 

This time of year, and this important beginning of the new year work can sometimes include reviewing the past year or maybe even several years. This is a natural part of the process. You may be continuing some work or themes that are currently in progress for you. You may find that this review process brings up a lot of emotions and memories for you. Sometimes those emotions can include grief or sadness. I want to gently remind you that these are natural feelings and experiences that can show up while doing this kind of work. Allowing yourself to move through these feelings can be a big support system for you. However, if you feel guided to reach out for support from someone else as well, that can also be a powerful support system for you. 

No matter where you find yourself today in this new 2024 energy, know that you're moving into the energy at the pace that is right for you. If you feel like jumping in and starting your year off with projects and activities that resonate for you, great! If you feel like moving a bit more softly and quietly into the new year, great! If you find yourself somewhere in the middle, great! You're not in a competition and honoring the guidance you're receiving about how to move into your new year is wise and sage advice. You're already meeting, adjusting, and working with the new energy right now and you get to choose how to do that important work that shifts you into this new year. 

I hope that you'll enjoy this process and the beginning of this new year. I'm so thankful to be sharing this new year with you! Thank you for being here. 

As always, I'm sending you love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world, straight to you!
With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Moving Gently into the New Year

Hello, I hope this finds you well and enjoying the beginning of your new year.
Sometimes when we move into January there’s a feeling that we need to push into the new year quickly or jump into a lot of projects, tasks, or check things off of our to do list. Taking a little time to prioritize what you may be guided to work on or work toward this year is a wonderful way to set some intentions for your new year. However, there is also a deep holiday let down that happens at the beginning of the year which asks us to slow down a little bit so we can reset before we jump into all the things we have planned. If you’re feeling a combination of these extremes, you’re not alone. It’s natural to feel your body and your mind wanting to take a little down time to rest and restore. This call to move gently into the new year isn’t a reflection on your ability to make progress on your goals or intentions for your new year. You’re just connecting to your natural body rhythm and inner guidance about what you need right now. It’s okay to move gently, it’s okay to take it slow, and it’s okay to give yourself some grace as you move through the first month of this new year.

Many highly sensitive people, (like yourself) are noticing that they need more sleep than usual right now. (Maybe you’re noticing this too.) You may find you’re being guided to go to sleep a little bit earlier than usual and maybe even guided to rest or nap even if you aren’t traditionally a napper. Trying to honor your own needs to the best of your ability right now will help you to more easily move into a place of readiness when your energy stores are nice and full again. You’ll naturally find your energy begin to increase along with your desire to begin working on your intentions for your new year. There is no rush and no need to push yourself outside of your own limits, just take this time to honor your own inner knowingness about what is right for you right now. If you’ve been experiencing some unexpected forced rest like me, I hope that you’ll be feeling better very soon.

There are a lot of things happening right now including big energy shifts, intense weather, and what seems like big news stories nearly every day. Sometimes these situations even simply reading about them can impact sensitive people in similar ways to those who experience full moon symptoms. If you are noticing any of these symptoms, you may want to increase your hydration, increase your rest (to the best of your ability), try to treat yourself with tender care and listen to your body. You may feel guided to increase some of your favorite tools such as essential oils, listening to gentle music or an audio book, meditation, gentle movement, soft and comfortable clothing, and gentle foods and beverages. Even seemingly small acts of self care can make a big difference in helping with the big energy shifts happening.

However this new year has started for you, I hope that you are being gentle with yourself and allowing yourself some breathing room to go at your own pace. Taking time for rest is still doing something productive and it’s an important part of our overall health and wellness.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny corner of the world right to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

If you feel guided to work with me, I’m here for you.

Reassess + Restructure + Recommit

June popsicle.jpg

Happy June! This is one of my favorite times of year because the weather is getting nicer + we get a little reset on the year. If you’re anything like me you love a good reset and an opportunity to fine tune some things. The 6 month mark gives us an opportunity to get really clear on where we’ve been so far and where we want to go with the remainder of 2019.

If you’re feeling a little bit sidelined by the fact that we’re halfway through the year, you’re not alone. This year feels like it’s been full of stops and starts and maybe you’ve experienced some big shifts along the way. No matter how your year has been going for you so far, you get an opportunity to take a little inventory and restructure some things that you want to highlight going forward.

There’s no one way or right way to do this, there’s just the ways that are right for you. However, it’s important to do something so that you can get clear on what you want to experience and what things you want to make priorities in the second half of your year.

Did you make a Vision Board back in January and then put it into the Closet?

Maybe it’s time to pull it out, take a look at it and see if what’s there is still resonating for you. Maybe you’ve accomplished some of your goals for this year (yay!) and you want to remove the images that you’ve checked off your list. Maybe you want to add new things that are more in alignment with where you’d like to go next. Either way, if a vision board is a tool that you enjoy using, make sure you find it a new home; one where you can actually see it every day. No more relegating it to a closet or behind a pile of random stuff.

Are you a List Maker?

I love a good list. Okay list makers, get out that list of things that you wanted to get done this year. Maybe you have several lists for different areas of your life. Get them all out and take a look at what’s been done and what’s still waiting to get moved up. Don’t go into melt down mode if you feel there’s still a lot on your list/s that haven’t been checked off. Take a breath and reprioritize your list. Move things around, remove things if this isn’t the best time to be focused on a particular area. If you want to you can make another list of things that are being put into a secondary priority allowing you to get to them once your most important things for the rest of 2019 are attended to first.

Are you a Quarterly Planning and Pie Charts Person?

Do you love flow charts, color, and lots of at a glace inspiration and planning? Or maybe you love all the software, apps, and bells and whistles to support you in moving forward with your goals or dreams. Get out all the things and check to see if the places and spaces you’re honestly investing your time is lining up with the colors and blocks that you intended to invest in this year. It’s okay if things have gone a bit askew. No problem at all, you can Reassess + Restructure + Recommit to your plan and vision for the next 6 months.

We’re constantly changing + dealing with the day to day stuff. However, having a clear vision for what we truly want to achieve this year is very important. The months will continue to move by but with a clear vision you can make a steady and consistent pathway toward the goals you have for yourself. It’s not too late, you haven’t missed the boat, and Yes, it’s still worth investing in your goals starting right now, today. If you need help, ask for help; don’t let this time slip away from you.

Breathe if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Make a commitment to yourself and the momentum you want to nurture for the rest of the year. You have 6 months to move toward the things that are resonating for you for 2019. Yes, definitely doable. Use this time as an opportunity to Relaunch your excitement, enthusiasm, and energy toward the goals you have for yourself and your _____________.

Focus on 3 things that you can do this week to move forward.
Start today and use this 6 month mark to Reorganize, Reprioritize, and Reenergize yourself and your year.

I’m doing the same thing over here in my little corner of the world and I’m cheering you on as you Rededicate yourself to your year!

Do you feel like you could use some extra support in moving toward your goals? I look forward to working with you and supporting you all along the way! I know you can do this!

With love,
Kristy~ xoxo
