Your Magenta Monday Magic.
Recently I found myself getting sucked into the doom and gloom dominating social media. It reminded me of the overwhelming feelings I had back in 2020 with the constant news about COVID, the election, and George Floyd. These are challenges to overcome that many of us might be facing lately.😟
After a few days of feeling helpless and hopeless, I paused and got curious. What was I feeling exactly? And why?
I realized I felt guilty for my own happiness and blessings when so many are struggling. I questioned if I was doing enough to help. Shouldn't I be suffering too to show my support?
When I dug deeper, I realized no one was suggesting that I wasn’t doing enough – except for that voice inside my head. It was a story I had made up. My guilt was self-imposed.
Once I recognized this, I was able to see the positive impact I do have. While I can't stop the war in Rafah, I can contribute by doing things like donating to causes I care about, helping my sick neighbor, or supporting my kids.
Getting stuck in a spiral of depression and guilt serves no one. I have to nurture my own light despite the challenges to overcome.
I spark my light with the joy I feel listening to birds in the morning before I rise; in feeling the warmth of the sunshine as I sit in my garden; in laughing until I cry with my besties; in loving my kids; in reaching for my husband’s hand as we walk down the street; and in traveling to far-flung places with him. 😊
Living BRIGHTer means fueling our inner light, and it only happens when we set an intention to do so. That’s what we’ll focus on this month – living with Intention. It's about taking responsibility for our lives and recognizing our power to create change.
When enough of us ignite our own light, we lead the way for others and become beacons that guide the way. ✨
Living with Intention is just that; choosing what you want more of – joy, love, connection, adventure, peace, whatever it is for you – and taking action to get it. In doing so, you illuminate the way for others to follow.
Who’s with me? These are challenges to overcome that we all face, but together, we can ignite our inner light and guide the way for others.
Living BRIGHTer is...
B - Be Brave
R - Cultivate Relationships
I - Live with Intention
G - Practice Gratitude
H - Prioritize Health
T - Live your Truth
