Things To Say NO To In 2022

April 8, 2022

because who has got time for *that*?

I will admit I have opened blogposts with a more positive title in the past, but sometimes it just *has* to be done. 

Because sister, there’s a big chance your energy is leaking all over the place to people, things, situations, you-name-it, which are not even worthy of your attention and time, let alone your spiritual growth.

Oofff, let’s sit with that for a minute.

What are you currently saying YES to that secretly kinda deserve a big fat NO? 

As much as I like to preach that we have an infinite Universe with Energy galore, the same cannot be said for our own physical energy levels (or emotional / mental capacity, for that matter).
The limit *does* exist (extra points if you get the reference) when it comes to how much you can carry, do and soak up in this world. 
And honestly, it’d be a damn shame if energy that you’d rather spent on yourself, your Self, your spiritual journey, your self development… is leaking towards stuff that you actually don’t really care about. 

So let’s lean into what we can say no to this year – for our own inner empowerment and to invite in that unbound, badass energy that we’re all so ready for here. 
You ready? 

1. Let’s say no to toxic conversation (and the people who start it). 
No one is a saint – we all gossip from time to time. However, IMO, a true spiritual life is lived from a place of open mind, open heart. You receive what you send out. If you’re continuously talking about other people, just take a guess what message that sends to the Universe about your frequency and self belief. 
Now my bet is that you know this already, but sometimes we can have those people in our lives who continue with the toxicity even if we have long left it (or are trying to).
Prioritise your boundaries. Change the conversation. Invite others to lean into positivity and inclusivity too. And if they don’t get it? Then it may need to be time to search for some enlightening conversation elsewhere… Your energy will thank you for it. 

2. Let’s say no to doubt. 
Doubt is something we have acquired. As little children, we very often don’t doubt our ability to learn something, to do something, to feel something. We are conditioned to doubt ourselves, our worthiness and abilities through media and other societal frameworks. And the worst? Sometimes we even have people around us reiterating that internalised doubt to us. 
Stay far away from people asking you ‘Are you sure …. ?’ ‘Should you really be dreaming that…?’ ‘But isn’t it a big risk to….?’. 
Okay, maybe staying away is a bit much, but become very aware of other people projecting their internalisations on you. 
Whenever you feel a doubt coming up or someone is mirroring this to you, see how it feels to lean into the opposite. What if it wasn’t risky but expansive, successful even? What if that dream is EXACTLY the right thing to be dreaming right now? Say no to doubt, say yes to hope, self belief, trust and expansion. 

3. Let’s say no to shame. 
Almost the same goes for shame. So many of us carry the heavy burden of shame around, which truly isn’t ours to carry. The judgment of others and the belief that what we think/what we dream of/what we think about/what we would like to wear/etc. are crippling us into staying small, obedient and VERY uninspired. 
‘Tis the season to say f$ck no to our internalised good girl (see ya, byeeee) and bust through the myth that we should be ashamed of who we truly are. Your light is meant to shine in this world, sister. Go and fire up that torch. 

4. Let’s say no to social pressures. 
A day full of family here. An evening full of drinking with old school pals there. Are you feeling the resistance in your body too? 
What if we get to ditch all those expectations to be social and we CHOOSE what we want to attend and what not? 
Sure, that brings us back to the judgment piece, but is that truly our problem? 
Prioritising other people’s expectations above our own energy levels sends a signal to our system that we should always just keep going on and on and on… meaning that we will never feel fully rested, never fully safe to root down and rest, because it’s on to the next thing we go… 

So prioritise antisocial times with yourself and get picky about the dates in the calendar you do have. You’ll have more energy for the socialising you choose, and your nervous system will get the time to take a breath inbetween. Not a bad deal, right? 

5. Let’s say no to limiting words & phrases 

This brings me back to all of the above. Get curious about how many times around you, in casual conversation, people’s (subconscious) limiting beliefs are woven through what they say. ‘We spent a lot of money on that thing’. ‘This opportunity will not come again’. ‘I’m not good enough for that training yet’. Recognise the sentiment? Everything people are saying about themselves is a reflection of their subconscious beliefs, and if you, in the conversation, unknowingly soak this up to be THE truth (because most likely, your mind will find a reason to agree with said person), you may leave feeling like you’ve taken three steps back on your empowerment journey. 

NO sister, that’s not what we’re about. 
And whilst you may not immediately question someone explicitly on their beliefs (everyone is on their own path, after all), visualise as you’re in conversation that you’re symbolically taking a step back and rebutting the belief for yourself. What do YOU believe to be true? What would you like to believe to be true? Go with that, run with the expansion, and continue to inspire yourself above all else. 

The key here is to prioritise your own ‘no’s’ and ‘yesses’ and trust that even though that may (probably will) cause friction with your external world, you will also inspire others deeply to explore their own truth. This is not always a process you see, neither is it one you need to consciously instigate. 
Prioritise saying no so in effect you’re saying a deep, deep yes to yourself over and over again. 
And trust that this will cause an exciting ripple effect of positive growth. Who knew a short, rather negative term could cause such expansion and opportunity? Let’s say no a few more times – it’s good for the soul. 

 

pin for later…

I didn't know life could feel like this... ⁠
⁠
In the past few months, an internal shift has taken place. ⁠
✨ I feel abundant, regardless of how much money is in the bank. ⁠
✨ I feel spacious, even though I literally moved into a tiny house together with my partner. ⁠
✨ I feel connected to our community, even though all the offerings inside my heart aren't out into the world yet (coming soon!) and I've been more offline than ever. ⁠
⁠
Somethings clicked into place, and I thank all the inner work of the past 6+ years for it. ⁠
⁠
It's not so much the external changes that have provided this shift. I could still be knee deep into self doubt or scarcity, no matter the situation. It's not that. ⁠
⁠
It's that I'm finally embodying where my mindset was - or wanted to be -  all along. My nervous system can relax within all the change and open-mindedness of my current work & life situation. I feel confident about where I'm headed. I feel safe, secure and loved from within. ⁠
⁠
Whew, I am so grateful for that. ⁠
And I wish the exact same for you. 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
Is your heart craving this embodied and empowered change this year? Is 2023 the year you're going to put yourself first, dive deep into your inner world and come out the other side trusting your intuition, feeling happy and confident? ⁠
⁠
Allow me to support you on this journey. Check the link in bio or my stories for the link to book your 30 minute discovery call - I'm opening up two spaces to work with me 1:1 for the next 6 or 12 months. So, if the idea of having an intuitive mentor cheering you on and supporting you through the highs and lows of your journey, get yourself a discovery call with me *no strings attached* and let's see how I can support you this year! ⁠
⁠
It would be an honour to hold space for you x 🧡⁠

2022 - you've been so good to me! 🧡⁠
⁠
With the first ever retreat, the move to the tiny house, and all of its lessons and blessings in between, I've absolutely loved this year. ⁠
⁠
And I can feel that it's time to integrate these experiences even deeper in the time to come. ⁠
I'll be taking a bit of a break in posting regularly and creating, because I feel like there is so much that wants to be shared and offered that I need to sit with that first. ⁠
⁠
From January onwards you can check out all the details for the July retreat I'll be hosting with @drsarahcoxon & when I'll be back it'll be with an incredible community-based virtual experience too. I can feel it brewing. It just needs beautiful, luscious and indulgent time, patience and tending. ⁠
⁠
I'll see you very soon & for now, have a wonderful end to 2022 and a magical start to 2023. ✨ So much love for you, sister x

A word of the year can be a great anchor to reinspire your intentions through the 12 months. ⁠
⁠
But that can also feel like a lot of pressure on just 1 simple word! ⁠
⁠
So what if the process has less to do with 'choosing' the 'perfect' one and more about calling in what feels most supportive for the direction you'd like to take this year? ⁠
⁠
I always get a lot of questions about choosing a word of the year around this time, especially because I've made it our tradition to record a yearly podcast on it (which is now up!). But I can hardly ever give you a good answer on the process of choosing it because to me, it's not really a choice. The word comes to me, usually a few weeks or even months before the previous year closes, and I dance with it for a bit before my heart will anchor on it. ⁠
⁠
It's an intuitive process in collaboration with the Universe. ⁠
So my invitation for you if you're craving to settle on a word for the new year, is to plant a seed with the energy around you to show you some options. Stay open to words, sentences, and energy flowing your way after you've done that. And see what feels exciting, expansive, supportive and maybe a little terrifying to anchor down your new year! ⁠
⁠
Check out the latest episode of the Spiritual Feminist podcast to hear me talk about my process with last year's word and my new 2023 addition. I also include journal prompts and a card pull to help you feel supported during this ritualistic time! ⁠
⁠
What's your 2023 word? (or tell me your 2022 word and how it served you!)

Let's make a self care list together...! 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
In a mentoring call the other week my client expressed how sometimes she felt overwhelmed when she had time to herself. Even in her down time, she felt the pressure to be productive and 'make the most of it'. ⁠
⁠
Gah... can't we all relate?! 😞⁠
⁠
During the session, I invited her to create a list of 5 things that made her heart feel good. Things such as journaling, reading, and guided meditations. And then we created a practice around how she could enjoy these things without feeling like there was a right or wrong way to do so, and instead, invited her to focus on what felt good & what expanded her heart in that moment. ⁠
We journeyed back to what felt pretty damn good, without there needing to be expectation or pressure. 👏🏼⁠
⁠
This is hard work. Deep work. Healing work. 🧡⁠
It sounds so simple, but sometimes reading a book without being distracted or creating a nr.-of-pages-goal is the most rebellious thing you can do for your empowerment journey. 🔥⁠
⁠
If you have a list (or would like to create one), let me know what nourishes your heart! And if you'd like to receive tools and space to release the pressure around your self care and empowerment journey, maybe 1:1 mentorship is the one for you. DM me for more details ! x

Let's make a self care list together...! 🙏🏼⁠ ⁠ In a mentoring call the other week my client expressed how sometimes she felt overwhelmed when she had time to herself. Even in her down time, she felt the pressure to be productive and 'make the most of it'. ⁠ ⁠ Gah... can't we all relate?! 😞⁠ ⁠ During the session, I invited her to create a list of 5 things that made her heart feel good. Things such as journaling, reading, and guided meditations. And then we created a practice around how she could enjoy these things without feeling like there was a right or wrong way to do so, and instead, invited her to focus on what felt good & what expanded her heart in that moment. ⁠ We journeyed back to what felt pretty damn good, without there needing to be expectation or pressure. 👏🏼⁠ ⁠ This is hard work. Deep work. Healing work. 🧡⁠ It sounds so simple, but sometimes reading a book without being distracted or creating a nr.-of-pages-goal is the most rebellious thing you can do for your empowerment journey. 🔥⁠ ⁠ If you have a list (or would like to create one), let me know what nourishes your heart!
