An excerpt from my latest article on the other love of my life.
-From the article I am working on currently, about enacting change through daily affirmation work and ritualizing daily routine.

Minimize negative self-talk; it steals your power
Negative self-talk only serves to continue keeping you mentally stuck in old patterns. Regardless of the reason you adopted the negative self-talk, if it was through relationships formed as a child, in adulthood, romance partners that weren’t healthy for you, or personal struggles that seem impossible to overcome. It doesn’t really matter where they come from. What matters is that you actively work to reframe them into positive statements that focus on the benefits gained from mistakes, wrong choices, or difficult experiences. By redirecting the negative into the positive, you reaffirm the power you possess. Each time that personal power is raised up and examined, held in the forefront of your mind, there is energy going into that thought. The pathways are changing and becoming more stable in a new reality. This is an active manifestation on a minute but daily scale. This is how change happens, and it's where it starts. This is the momentum that continues to build.
Observe and analyze judgment over situations. Are your words of condemnation truly deserved?
We are only human and will inevitably make mistakes. This is just part of living and growing, and learning how to become better versions of ourselves. The inner process of alchemy of the soul and mind. Yet, how do we analyze our mistakes? Is it with an open mind that is curious for new solutions and revelations, or is it with ire and irritation for erring in the first place? So often, we are harder on ourselves than we truly deserve, which reinforces the shame we feel at a mental level. So next time you catch yourself analyzing a mistake or error, consider how you are approaching that observation. Correct your mindset if you aren't approaching things with curiosity or innocence

Practice saying positive action statements while in a meditative state, and record what you notice. You may be surprised by what you write down in the notes. Sometimes we can feel subtle shifts and alignments in energy when saying positive action statements. The nuance of frequency flows in a slightly different direction, and it can be picked up at times when we are in that meditative state and taking the steps to enact real-time change.
