emember being told to
“think happy thoughts”?
We were taught at a very
young age, that when the shiz
hits the fan, you think happy
thoughts, everything is bubbles
and unicorns, then you fly off to
be happily ever after.
So tell me…
Has there been ANY point in
time that theory has worked for
you?
I’m just going to go with NO on
that one, because you can’t just
fake your way into joy. Happy
thoughts alone, don’t hit you
in the pit of your stomach and
make you burst with pleasure.
Don’t get me wrong, you are a
Divine Feminine Goddess and
you were born with some badass
magical powers! You just aren’t
using them right.
If you were able to live in your
sweet spot - that energy you
feel when you’re out with your
girlfriends, listening to your
favourite tunes, and just really
loving life - you could make your
dreams come true all day long! that is the complete opposite of
the ‘sweet spot’. It’s what par-
ents of infants call the witching
hour. In my house, we call it the
“Hellfire & Brimstone” time and
it happens right around dinner
time.
When you focus on your desires
from the place of appreciation
and gratitude, you are calling in
all the good stuff - saying “more
please” to all of the things you
are loving and appreciating. Let me paint the picture for you:
The trouble is - we don’t live in
the sweet spot. We live in a world
full of chaos, stress and anxiety
everywhere. We have deadlines at
work, breakdowns, break-UPS,
messes to clean, family to man-
age, and CHILDREN!
It makes it hard to GET to that
‘sweet spot’ much less stay there!
In fact, I have this time of day
You’re exhausted from work and
you’re either single or the spouse
won’t be home any time soon -
no tapping out yet!
You just got home with the kids
(let’s face it, you don’t get this
level of chaos without them)
The dog is obnoxiously excited
to see you that you haven’t left
him for dead and have in fact
returned in time to feed him.
The cats don’t give a shit so long
as you don’t step on them.
