Insanity is Knocking at the Door

The bills that I need to make sure are paid,make sure I am prepared for my workshop, people I didn't call, people who haven't called me back, the emails I haven't responded to yet, the list goes on and on. I feel crazy bring pulled in so many directions. Knowing that I have taken on way too much as far as responsibilities are concerned....that's what mny emotions say. While my type A personality and OCD perfectionist inside me cheers me on and knows I can handle so much more. Meanwhile, my angels are telling me to relax, trust that everything is happening in Divine Timing and to balance my life by taking a nice ride on my bike on the beach. I don't know about you but I opted for the beach bike cruise.
When I feel the breeze on my face caressing my hair, inhaling the abundant air God has supplied, being grateful for this moment in time & space, I am able to clear out the drama my mind loves to create. How many times do we as humans, love to stay in this stress? Yes we have things to do, people to call, places to go, but what about you? Who takes care of you? Who makes sure you are supported, eat enough vegetables, drink enough water, play outside, and reminds you that nothing is perfect.....you are perfect just the way you are now! The Bruno Mars song plays in my head.
The moment your body feels tired, it's talking to you! When you need a nap, take a 5 minute snoozer, you will feel better! When you are stressed, STEP AWAY FROM YOUR LIFE! And by this I mean, change up your routine, go for a walk, stand up & stretch, call a loved one... breathe. There are so many choices in one day and we are so good at beating ourselves up over the smallest things. Life doesn't need to feel so overwhelming. You are doing the best you can and give yourself a high five for being where you are. Don't look at what you haven't accomplished, notice how far you've come. So what if it's not perfect or the way you planned. What's important is you are alive. You had the experience(s). Rejoice! You got another day to live to try again maybe, more time ~ to tell the people you love how you feel.
I am still on my beach cruise (taking a moment to write this) I felt compelled to share my thoughts with you and this picture.
I'm not even done taking my break, more like celebrating my life (I don't always wait for my bday), and I received news that a few things I was worried about have worked themselves out already. All I needed to do was step away from my routine. Can you do the same? Don't do the same things over and over again in the same way, expecting different results....that's the definition of insanity. Trust everything will work out in the best possible situation for everyone involved.
Sending angels.

SO I've had a rough day, more like a few rough moments in the past month! BUT who hasn't. Between reading T. Harv Eker's, Secrets of a Millionaire Mind, not complaining and TRUSTING God, Universe and my angels that Everything happens for a reason and in Divine Timing.... I have emotional moments.
I was talking to a prospective client today and I came up with a simple:

5 STEPS HOW TO STOP & REVERSE OVERWHELM
There are times in our daily lives where we feel so rushed, stressed, and disconnected that we are literally inviting more negative energy into our world. The following is the quickest way to actually stop this downward spiral pattern so that you can get back to a higher energy and complete your daily tasks without ... going crazy... I mean easily & effortlessly. :)

  1. STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING! (take a moment to reset) 
    1. If you are driving, pull over!
    2. If you are with others, excuse yourself & find a quiet place... YES, even if it's the bathroom!
  2. BREATHE DEEPLY (Get your mind & body into the present)
    1. Speak out loud what you see, & feel NOW
      1. I see a blue car
      2. I feel the steering wheel.
    2. Keep breathing deeply 3 to 10 times.
    3. By this time your mind has taken over your future and you are only focusing on negativity so CHANGE THAT CHANNEL and TUNE INTO DIVINITY!
  3. CALL ON YOUR ANGELS (Keep breathing deeply so they can connect)
    1. Because we have free will, the angels can only intervene in emergency situations, thus, ASK!
    2. Clearly state: "Angels give me clear signs that you are with me right now; and/or guide me to the next step."
    3. Keep breathing deeply and be open to receiving signs NOW!
      1. **ANGELS that are good to call on when stressed & overwhelmed:
        1. Archangel Michael "Please cut any chords to situations and to people that do not serve me a purpose any longer"
        2. Archangel Raphael "Please heal me in mind, body and spirit"
        3. Archangel Jophiel "Please beautify my thoughts"
  4. IF YOU ARE STILL OVERWHELMED (Keep breathing deeply. YES, they are still working on you)
    1. List 10 things for which you are REALLY Grateful!
      1. My car, job, a home, a place to live, the money I do have in my bank account, the money that is coming to me, my family, my children, my hands, my feet, my capability to hear, to see, to feel, to be ALIVE, etc.... C'mon work with me here! ;)
    2. Be Clear & Honest with your list! (see examples above)
    3. FEEL the LOVE for that which you are grateful! REALLY!
    4. SMILE
  5. IN DESPERATE MEASURES... IF YOU ARE STILL IN YOUR PITY PARTY OF 1...
    1. Please if you have not done so by now, separate yourself from everyone & anyone as you are now what I call an "Energy Sucking Vampire"
    2. Volunteer where there are people, less fortunate than YOUR situation! and help those less fortunate. THIS helps you realize there REALLY are others in a situation worse than YOU!
START OVER if needed! Cutting corners only cheats you, your capability to REALLY shine, and get back to YOUR Magnificent SELF!
You are going through this difficult time because this is a lesson! This is an opportunity for growth. I know it seems hard but it's what you do NOW, in these moments, that Define who you really are!

SO WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE? ... Signing off for now... Miss Xochi, Creating Angelic Experiences. www.lxavalos.com <3 <3 Sending you all Love & Angels.
