What's your guilty pleasure?
|
Here's the thing about guilty pleasures - There's no reason to feel guilty about them! Think of your favorite guilty pleasure. Right now. Is it a special flavor of ice cream? A favorite TV show that you watch over and over? Is it sneaking away for "book club" and then just having wine with your friends? WHYYYYYYY are you feeling guilty about these? A) because you're a woman. And women have been socialized to be constantly "of service" to those around them. If you're taking time just for yourself? You automatically start experiencing guilt. B) Because we've attached unecessary morality to our food and beverage choices. There's nothing good OR bad about ice cream vs. frozen yogurt. It's all just food. Enjoy what you like! C) Because you're a woman (again). Ever notice how the stupid things that MOSTLY MEN love are not "guilty pleasures"? They're just normal hobbies? Like, what is more pointless than spending 4 hours watching two teams fight over an egg-shaped ball? But they do it ALL THE TIME! But if we want to spend 4 hours watching Gray's Anatomy or Bridgerton? All of a sudden it's a "guilty pleasure"? I don't buy it. All this to say that your guilty pleasures DON'T HAVE to be guilty. In fact, they can help you unearth clues to what really LIGHT YOU UP, and point you in the direction of your highest and best life. That's what we'll be doing in the upcoming GUILTY PLEASURES UNLEASHED workshop! Bring a journal and some water (and tissues, if you're a crier) because we'll be healing our inner children, making peace with our selves, and learning from our guilty pleasures. Oh, and calling in MORE of all the good stuff our hearts & souls desire for the season.

Now, if I were coaching someone else I'd probably have stopped here to honor the feelings of powerlessness and frustration and let them be felt, but i'm a human and so I was like FUCK IT LET'S JUST POWER THROUUUUUGH!" I was journaling this morning on a prompt about designing your ideal daily schedule. Normally this kind of thing would be fun for me! I love to daydream about cozy mornings drinking coffee on the porch. But I found myself procrastinating and making excuses. I would start...
Do you remember when you first learned about the Salem Witch Trials? I asked a few friends (aka I made an instagram poll) and we all seemed to agree our first encounter with this particular historical event was in elementary school, age 7 or 8 maybe. I'm not surprised we learn about this so early, because HOLY SHIT what an effective tool to teach young girls to behave, be "good", and not cause trouble. We learn about it again in High School, where Arthur Miller's The Crucible is still...
UGH. Is anything worse than someone telling you that you SHOULD feel grateful? Gratitude is a key part of any manifestation, prayer, or magic practice. Basically, in order to get more of what you want in life, it's so very key to FEEL GRATEFUL for what you have. But lots of us have built up strong resentments around the world Grateful. Maybe, just *maybe* we've been using it to shame and gaslight women for UNTOLD CENTURIES. (Actually, just checked. The word originated in 1580. But I bet we've...
