​Ask yourself, “How am I feeling?” a few times a day.

I like to do this whenever I get a snack or refill my tea or go to the bathroom. Sometimes I’m fine, but other times I notice I’m holding my breath or clenching my jaw.

If I catch it early, a quick stretch or a glass of sweet tea can reset my mood. 

Try tuning in: Is your body tight? Are your thoughts racing?

These small questions help you catch your feelings before they pile up. You could think of it as emotional housekeeping. Tidy up a little before things get really messy.

​

If you’ve ever tried to manage your feelings on zero sleep or an empty stomach, you know how difficult that is. The basics matter so much more than we like to admit. 

Aim for regular meals and enough sleep, even if that means saying no to one more episode or a late-night scroll. It won’t be perfect (hello, one more episode of Bob Newhart.)
​
But perfection isn’t the goal. I still have nights where I don’t sleep enough or mornings when a handful of cheese is all I manage. Small steps add up though, and your nervous system will thank you.

​

Here’s the secret: just like they say, it’s about the little things, but done often.
 
One extra breath. One honest check-in. A soft blanket, a cup of tea, a kind word to yourself in the mirror.
 
You don’t need to overhaul your life or get it all perfect. What matters is showing up for yourself.
 
Over time, these tools and practices will help you stay grounded. When the world gets shaky, you’ll have your own rituals of comfort to lean on.

You’re doing sacred work, and you deserve comfort along the way.

(If you want more ideas, the Comfort Ritual Generator is always here for you. Just a little reminder from me to you.)

See you next time!

About two months ago, I had a "what am I even doing?" moment, where I was thinking about all the things I felt pulled toward, and I wondered why they felt urgent. As a response, I kept hearing in my mind, "lightworkers need to know this."

So then I asked myself how I knew that "I" was the one who should teach them this thing they need to know. And when do I get to rest?

That led to discovering a fear that if I don't respond to things that seem compelling right then, I will lose track of them and waste or lose the possibility.

​A-ha! I realized the solution to that was to write them all down, and I did. Which means I could then rest.

But I got curious about what all the things were that I thought lightworkers need to know. Not as lessons in a course or book or report or post, but as messages. The rest of this post is everything I came up with in response to this, "what message does LOVE want to tell lightworkers through me?"
​

Here they are. But if you're reading this, and you're thinking that you aren't a lightworker, see if any of the messages are meaningful to you, in spite of that.

(1) Allow your feelings and then offer them up to love, to the divine.

(2) Feel & express your feelings and then find your way to heal them (journaling, healing technique, etc.)

(3) Discover who you intended to be during this ascension lifetime - not just your pure higher self, but the highest expression (you intended) for your personality (ego, false self).

(4) Forgive yourself for not being perfect and for having to be human (it's a bummer, I know)

(5) Dedicate yourself to peace and joy and figure out which everyday experiences create them for you.

(6) Build a sense of home within yourself (what would that feel like?)

(7) Cozy, comforting self-care will nurture you WAY MORE than you think. Let yourself slow down, soften, let go of control and choose self-care every day.

Of these, the messages I was most drawn to were numbers 3, 4, 5 and 6. And I'm noodling on what an offering that combined those messages might look like.

And the other thing that interested me is that I think I may have shared message number 7 enough.

Do any of these messages resonate for you?

See you next time!

Life has a subtle way of blurring your edges. It's a slow, sleepy trick where your light gets hidden under routines, expectations, and the endless to-do list.

Sometimes it’s like living in a cozy fog. Comforting, but a little numbing.

If you’ve ever felt you’re on autopilot, only half-awake to your own spark, you’ve met what I call the “Poppy Spell.”

(Yes, just like Dorothy in Oz, drifting off when she’s so close to home.)

To be honest, I have days where I can almost sense the invisible poppies in the air. Deadlines, news headlines, laundry piles. Take your pick!

As a healer or lightworker, it’s so easy to slip into this fog. You self-tend, you hold space, you care for others, sometimes until your own needs feel like an afterthought.

That sneaky poppy spell comes in quietly.

Maybe you feel a little stretched thin, or your days start to blend together. You haven’t lost yourself, not really.

But the gap between who you are and what you’re living? It starts to grow.

I’m reminded (over and over!) that forgetting yourself in this world isn’t a sign that you’re failing. It’s just what happens.

You’re part galactic being, part regular human wrapped up in time crunches.

The forgetting is normal. The coming home again is sacred. 

Let's get into it...

​(And what might you remember if you pause, even for a breath?)

Most days, what I forget is simple: I’m not here to play by someone else’s rules. I’m not here to prove, hide, perform, or blend in.

I came here, as Dr. Sue Morter says, “to awaken to the greatness of my being and the truth of who I am as a conscious creator.”

You did, too. You are a multidimensional being in a very lifelike disguise.

If you’re reading this, you’re already remembering.
​

You don’t have to wait another minute to remember your wholeness.

You don’t need incense, mantras, or a crystal grid.

The real reset happens in the smallest moments, with a breath, a pause, a hand on your heart. Every time you do this, you change the channel.

You find yourself, right here, right now, in the only place your power ever truly lives.

We’re all just remembering, one deep breath at a time.

So keep coming home. You are never as far from yourself as you might feel.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

Today, I want you to read something I discovered a while ago, that is the perfect follow-up to last month's posts about emotional healing and forgiveness.

I'd like to share a quiz with you, that was designed by Leslie Paramore, a Reiki teacher I found online several years ago. She writes a lot about healing and spiritual awakening.

Leslie's hope is that as you take the assessment, you will have one of those a-ha moments she describes in the quiz. There were two questions that created that kind of moment for me.

They were questioned that reminded me of my childhood, and I realized that, although I have had moments of compassion for the harm that I experienced, I am not entirely ready to let go of blame. And I can't seem to land squarely on forgiveness, either! I keep bouncing back off. :)

So the moments I thought of as I read those two questions are likely to be connected to what's holding me back. But obviously, it's the way I am still responding to them that is the actual culprit.

Still, I am open to healing. And my results were still pretty darn good.

​

Are you going to take the healing readiness assessment (quiz?)

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine
