What do you LOVE about your self?
Some months, I know exactly what themes I want to play with in these Deb's Picks, always reflecting in some way the energies of the upcoming Full Moon (more about that in a minute). Other months, like this one, not so much.
Maybe because the last month has been pretty focused on me and my healing and that's taken up most of my bandwidth. (For those who don't know, I had a total knee replacement on January 6th). That's me, a week into recovery, hunkered down in our TV/guest room which became my multi-purpose bedroom, office, meditation center, pharmacy... you name it!
I was definitely doing some serious "smooring", and if you don't remember what that is, re-read last month's Deb's Picks blog. Lots of time by myself and going deep, mentally physically, emotionally and spiritually. Definitely keeping my energy close to the vest for maximum healing. Or as my dear friend Renee Trudeau kept reminding me -- "rest, sleep, do nothing... repeat".
Yet at the same time, I was able to emerge occasionally and do things that I love best, even in the first week -- a few coaching clients, co-presenting a short virtual event on the Lunar phases, joining my beloved local monthly women's group (albeit on Zoom), and leading my monthly Full Moon TeleMeditation... that photo was taken by a friend who was visiting right after the meditation!
It seems that when I can dip into the things I'm most passionate about, that represent my authentic self, I can rally enough to be present, creative, and even uplift others. A real testament to the importance of spending your precious energy on what excites you vs. what you should be doing. For me, that's the ultimate act of self-love.
How about you? What are some of your unique gifts that lift you up, at the same time that they might also inspire others? Can you identify some of those and make a commitment to offer them up to support others this month?
And if you do that, you'll be fully embracing the vibe of the Leo/Aquarius Full Moon coming up on February 12th. Among other things, fire-y Leo energy is about embracing self-love (just in time for Valentine's Day!), creativity, and tapping into your heart for compassion, vulnerability and strength. Integrate that with the open-minded, collective-oriented, and humanitarian Aquarius season we're moving through from January 20th to February 18th and you've got the perfect combo for elevating the qualities you love most about yourself to make a difference in the world!
[If you want a jumpstart on celebrating your unique gifts in a powerful way, definitely tune into the recording of my virtual Aquarius New Moon SisterCircle I facilitated through the Wellness Universe on January 29th. Our theme was "Reclaiming our Inner WildWoman" and I guarantee you'll come away empowered and uplifted.
So, my Deb’s Picks this month are a mixed bag of special events to inspire your creativity or just to soak up and appreciate.
Then, be sure to join us for my upcoming Leo/Aquarius Full Moon TeleMeditation this Monday, February 6th at Noon -- click HERE for details on how to join us. Hope to “hear” you then!
