Using the full moon to live your full potential

Hey Reader,

Life’s not always rainbows and unicorns, and when it feels like you keep getting the hard stuff, it’s real easy to jump down the “woe is me” rabbit hole. And when you go down that hole, burnout is inevitable.

You’ll want to remain in that rabbit hole hiding away from everyone and everything.

But you can avoid it, and the full moon we just had yesterday can help you!
​
This full moon was all about living in your potential. You have to BELIEVE that change is possible or it won’t ever actually be. So dream big! If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.

Yes, I get that sounds really “smooshy,” and yet, I’m still sticking to it.

Who do you want your future self to be once you get to the other side of whatever challenge you’re in? You GET to decide!

It’s the uncomfortableness in life when it gets hard that produces change and growth. It’s what makes us better.

And getting to the other side of a challenge can take time, but it’s one of the greatest teachers if you pay attention and are willing to believe that things can indeed be different.

Now is your time to live in that potential. Use the full moon energy that’s available right now to do just that by releasing into the world who you want to be and start doing it.

If you want something different in life, you have to first believe that something different is possible. And this is your permission to do so. ❤️

And to release that out into the world, here’s a quick releasing ritual you can do in the next day or so to be intentional with it:

1. Create a sacred space by lighting a candle, burning some palo santo or sage, or anything else you do to help center yourself.​
2. Tune in–to your mind, body, emotions and spirit in the moment and breathe fully into your body.​
3. Consider whatever it is you want to release out into the world (that’s will help you live in your full potential or that is no longer serving you)​​
4. Visualize whatever it is you are releasing with the light of love around it, then see yourself:
   1. Releasing it into the air
   2. Burning it
   3. Burying it
   4. Sending it into a black hole/vacuum​​
5. Write it on a piece of paper and spend some time acknowledging it and the place it had in your life. Sign it and date it to seal the deal.​​
6. Then burn it or throw it away! Declare “I’m now ready to release __________. And so it is.” Then let go of any emotional attachment to it​.​
7. And do some releasing movement like shaking to stimulate your nervous system, yoga, “brushing” it off of you or your aura, or even some dancing in the moonlight. Or simply go outside and look up at the moon and take a moon bath if you can see the moon. If you can’t, trust that the moon is full and honor the releasing ceremony.​​
8. Sit quietly and notice the lighter energy you are now experiencing.

See you next time!

Cheers,

Cathy
