you are living magic

You are living magic, personified.

Fully in your whole truth, you are a magical human being with a beautiful heart and soul.

And even though you may not believe it reading those words, even if they don’t resonate or your first thought you notice is “No, I’m not” or even an eye roll…that’s ok.

We often don’t see our own magic, and usually give that specialness to those around us, whether they are in our lives or people we don’t even know that we admire. Rarely do we take a moment to give that space to ourselves and see how incredibly amazing and beautiful we are and what we do in the world.

Think about everything it took to get you where you are today. If you’re struggling, think about the strength it takes to even be reading this message and all you overcame just TODAY to get here to this point. Your voice, your light, your energy, has impacted SO many people around you. You have elevated the world just by being here.

Those moments when you stand in your truth, when you’ve found your voice even when it was scary and didn’t make sense, where you laugh endlessly, where you dance, cry, all of the things — that’s your magic.

Everything that is wonderfully you, even the parts that feel like an absolute hot mess. The procrastinating, the promisees you make to yourself and never quite keep — that’s all YOU and it’s beautiful, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Forcing ourselves to feel better than we do is…hard, and really honestly not the way. Meet yourself where you’re at, right now. How would it feel to accept yourself fully? To say what you’re thinking and feeling out loud?

How would it feel to feel those feelings and say “I see you, I feel you, I allow myself to feel these things, and I give myself permission to be ok where I’m at.”

There’s power in acceptance, and when we get honest with ourselves, THAT’S where the confidence and self-love start to cultivate. When we give ourselves the grace and compassion that we so easily give to others, when we cheer ourselves on, lift ourselves up, accept how we are just like we do those we love.

Take a moment now to breathe and check-in with yourself — how are you doing today? How are you feeling? And if that feels hard, if you’re not sure, just ask simply “Am I feeling good, or am I feeling not so great?” It’s all guidance and will help you start to get clear.

How do you want to feel?

When you think magic, what comes to mind? What helps you feel elevated, free, and most like YOU?

Is it dancing in your living room when no one’s watching and pretending you’re the performer?

Is it laughing with someone you love, doing something fun and adventurous?

Tap into that. Flow and alignment doesn’t always come easy, and that’s ok. This magic, this flow is always avaliable to you and even when it doesn’t feel like it, meet yourself where you’re at and know you KNOW the things to do to get there. It’s okay to give yourself a day, two days, however long you need to be frustrated, sad, or anything else. You’re human.

Just know, that’s apart of you and it’s from those moments that this beautiful growth comes from. The deepest lessons we are here to learn, and then we get to help others from those times. And when we don’t see our own magic, our own beauty, energy, light — others do. Of course, not that we need others to see it, but sometimes we have to lean into that support when it’s offered and that’s ok.

What might help you tap into your magic today?

What do you need MOST right now? What’s the one thing you keep thinking about and pushing off even though you know deep down, you NEED it? (hello, morning workout I keep pushing off.)

Accept how you feel today, know it’s ok, and you are a powerful human.
