I’d like to talk today about a little something called burnout. Burnout affects your whole body; your mind feels foggy and you can’t remember anything to save your life, your body may feel sore or you may pull muscles more easily with no good reason for it (some people like to make the excuse that they’re just getting older), and in general it feels like an uphill battle to do even the things you love. When you get into this space, it’s imperative you take a break–it’s too easy to start sliding into depression from here. Your body is trying to tell you that you aren’t taking enough time for you. You may be pushing or working too hard, or maybe you were taught to “tough it out.”  If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms you need to do something for you today. One of my favorite things to do is take an Epsom foot soak. I add lavender Epsom salts with magnesium flakes and baking soda. This foot soak draws out all the toxins from your body and relaxes your muscles, helping you to chill out. I also love to meditate. It quiets my mind and my body, allowing me to hear my inner voice so much clearer. I’m no zen master either, so I do guided meditations to help me. An awesome meditation app you can get on your phone is by Andrew Johnson. He has a cool Scottish accent and his voice is super soothing, and the meditations are normally about 10 minutes long–just perfect for a mid day break. My absolute favorite way to do something for myself is by taking a walk in my local park. I put my favorite music on and I just go. It took me awhile to get into exercising, but once I started going, it felt so good I didn’t want to stop! Added bonus? I’m dropping weight–who doesn’t want that? 🙂 Maybe you love to cook, or paint, or sing. Whatever it is for you, do it today. Carve out some time for yourself, even if it’s just for a few minutes. You may say that you just don’t have the time; maybe you’re taking care of your family. How are you supposed to take care of anyone else though if you’re falling apart? The answer is that you can’t. No more excuses, no more thinking you haven’t worked enough to be burnout, and no more putting off taking care of you. Find what it is that you love to do, or makes you feel taken care of, and go do it today. Your boss, your family, your friends, your loved ones, and most importantly you, will thank yourself when you’ve returned to normal. When you make yourself a priority, it makes taking care of everything else so much easier <3

Go ahead and pick a card from above (you can pick one, two or all three cards). The stone you see in the picture is apophyllite. Apophyllite can help to increase intuition, connect with guides, and practice remote viewing and astral travel. Apophyllite activates the Third-Eye and Crown Chakras, making them more receptive to spiritual energies. This can enable one to receive visions and insights about current situations, personal or otherwise. Apophyllite can transfer ideas gathered from the higher domains to be used with the conscious mind. Meditating with an Apophyllite cannot only enhance one’s psychic visions and clairvoyance, but also promote structure and organization in daily life. Apophyllite can help one to plan for the future with certainty, despite any negative past experiences. If you’d like to learn more about Apophyllite, please go here.

If you chose card #1: Your message this week is that no matter what, your mother and father love you as much as they can. Your card goes on to say this card is telling you that your mother and father both love you, even though you may not always be able to feel their love. Everyone shows love in different ways–for example, some people show that they care through actions, such as giving you things or trying to help you. Other people express it through words that they say or write. If your mother and father show their love in ways you don’t understand, you can talk to them about your feelings. The bond between parents and children can never be broken, no matter what. Even during times of anger, parents and children still love each other deep down. If you focus on this love, it grows even stronger and deeper. This love also helps everyone feel better and get along better. If your mother and father are angry with each other, you can still love them both equally. You don’t need to take sides. Everyone has something good inside of them, after all. God put love within every person. Your love towards both your mother and father is always deep and strong, even if you don’t see one of your parents very much. Focus on what’s good about your mother and father to help them–and you–be as loving as you can be.

If you chose card #2: Your message this week is to start a project related to something you’re curious about. Your card goes on to ask: what do you wonder about? What would you like to learn more about? Your curiosity is like a road map that helps you know your souls preferred direction. You’re naturally curious about areas of life that are related to your divine mission (which is the big reason why you came to earth). Watch your thoughts and actions to get a better sense of where your curiosity lies. Notice any topics that really excite you. Observe what you do in your spare time. Watch what grabs your attention about other people. Your close friends and family members can also offer their observations about your areas of curiosity. For instance, are you fascinated by science, animals, the weather, fashion, swimming, Egyptian history, or some other area of life? This card ask you to start a special project that allows you to learn more about this topic. Make the time to read about the area related to your curiosity. Interview experts who are working in the field. Create an experiment or science project to help you learn more. In other words, use your curiosity as fuel to drive you forward toward a better understanding of yourself and your world.

If you chose card #3: Your message this week is don’t let others talk you into doing something that you know is wrong. Your card goes on to say that this card means that someone might ask you to do something against your better judgement. You may be tempted to give in, to please the other person. You might worry that if you say no, the other person won’t like you anymore. But this card reminds you that it’s very important for you to listen to your true feelings before taking any action. You must choose for yourself what’s right and wrong. If you feel confused, then talk with someone you trust, such as your mother, father, teacher, or best friend. You can also speak to your angels. In the end, though, you must decide what’s right for you. This choice must come from your inner voice, not from outside pressure. Choose the path that will make you happiest in the long run. Some choices only feel good temporarily, and then afterwards you feel let down. The best choices make you feel happy for a long, long time. To hear your true feelings, you’ll need to make some quiet time. Close the door of your room and turn off all noises. Shut your eyes and breathe deeply. Then ask a question in your mind and listen: Listen to your body, your heart, and your mind. Write down everything that you think, see, hear, and feel from within. Take the action that you know, in your heart, it’s the right thing to do.

My hope for you this week is that you take a little time for yourself. Spend some quality time on you and your needs. How can you give to others when you don’t give to yourself? Take a break, put work off to the side, and take a breather. Not only do you deserve it, but you need it. Do what’s right for you this week, and get back to your spunky, fun, and wild self <3
