Monday Morning Mantra

Welcome to Revenge of Eve’s

MONDAY MORNING MANTRA

Each Monday I shuffle and draw two cards from two sources, a box set and a deck. The box set boasts encouragement, self-love, goals and focus while the deck affirms our individual power. I then use the two cards to guide me throughout the week. I place the cards on my refrigerator as a visual reference and I write them daily in my journal as written reference. If I find myself experiencing unwanted emotions or challenging thoughts I refer to the cards drawn. I have found this to be an empowering and powerful exercise. One that I decided to share with my readers.

Affirmation

This week’s affirmation reminds us to get still. Whether we realize it or not there is a constant chatter in our mind. It’s that nonstop voice that filters the world we see. It’s the voice that tells us the sky is pretty or that a property is a mess. This voice isn’t the truth. It is our personal filter. The truth in silence is the sound of a bird chirping, the wind blowing across our face, the lightning that we see. The truth triggers our senses. It doesn’t need a detailed description. Everyone has a voice and that voice’s filter is different for each of us, however, the truth found in silence is the same. It is felt not moderated. It is seen. It is heard. It is.

It isn’t easy to describe what the truth found in silence is like. First and foremost it is an inner knowing that doesn’t require words.

Encouragement

This week’s encouragement coincides with our affirmation prompting us to take time to ourselves. Even if you have been unmotivated and lazy, you deserve a break. A break from the constant chatter. A time frame where you allow yourself to breathe and not think. Time to listen to the truth in silence. Give yourself permission.

Affirmation

There is an overwhelming amount of information on cells but I am particularly interested in the connection between spirituality and cells. Here are some facts I found interesting.

1. The Cell is Conscious of its own existence and knows its internal condition and knows it external environment.

2. The Cell is Intelligent and it has the Cognitive abilities like perception and memory to acquire information, to retain information, to recall information, and to use information in the performance of its complex tasks in a sequential manner.

3. The Cell has the ability to show characteristics such as mutual cooperation, mutual tolerance, and display functional subordination and subservience while being independent.

4. The Cell grows, divides, and develops into a complete organism while it acquires substances and energy from an external environment and it continuously transforms matter to build matter of its own kind for its own benefit to sustain its existence with its own identity, individuality while the Organism represents a social group or a biological community. The Spiritual nature of the substance brings this functional harmony and unity by bringing together its Essence and Existence.

Encouragement

Oftentimes we expect happiness to slap us in the face when really it’s found in small moments. Next time you are having coffee, make time to enjoy it and not just drink it. Sit and sip. Actually taste. That’s joy. That’s how simple it is to make time for. Feel the sunshine on your face. Close your eyes. Breathe. Joy.

Share with me what your simple joys are. Did you know that about cells?

Transitioning

Struggling to Transition

If you are new to this camp, I have been dying to transition careers. It’s been three years and I’ve not been successful. And I have a year and a half left to go. It is my goal to be out of the food and beverage industry by time I am 45. At this point I think it’s safe to say fear is holding me back.

I’ve been looking for work from home jobs in line with customer service but job sites are ridiculous. They rope you into submitting your email address for multiple sites and redirect you and loop you and…you get the picture.

The other day I decided to stretch because I have been feeling stiff and just from doing neck rolls, I have paid a price. I suppose I am holding stress in my neck and when I stretched it released the toxins leaving me sore as all get out. It feels like something popped on the left side of my neck, in the shoulder area leaving me in agonizing pain. No fun. I am ready to wake up and feel like myself. This ongoing yuck I’ve been in needs to disappear. I have run out of ideas for combating it. And believe me, I’ve been creative.

The culmination of what seems like my life has to be the beginning of my S.A.D. Yay. I suppose the quicker it comes, the quicker it goes. April is typically the worst month. It’s creeping up. I feel as though I am taking it all actually quite well considering the weight of it all. Exhale. I remind myself. Exhale.

Perhaps I will turn this type of post into a weekly wrap up type series. I like to categorize my ramblings.

Week of March 21-March 28

I hope this Monday finds y’all well. This week’s encouragement reminds us the importance of breath work. If you find yourself frustrated, confused, or angry, find your center again by taking deep breaths. For so long I thought just breathe meant others dealt with things better than me when really breathing assist in regulating emotions. Give it a try!!

Encouragement
Box set by Dayna Lee

When an unwanted emotion arises, take a full 60 seconds to yourself. During this minute take slow breaths in and exhale. I find placing my hand over my heart helps me focus on the breath. By the end of the 60 seconds I can tell a significant difference in my heart rate and the way I feel. The important part of this breathing exercise is to allow the emotion but encourage it to pass. Do not focus on how you feel rather the breath itself. You may find it difficult to stop your thoughts but do not allow yourself to ruminate. This exercise works for everyone and it is simple enough to give a try. Once you experience it’s power, you will find yourself harnessing power through breath work.

Best part about the affirmation that was drawn today is it encourages awareness which is what breathing brings about. Embracing your power through breathing exercises is empowering. Learning to do so takes practice not perfection. A friendly reminder that it is I (insert you) who is in control.

I celebrate my progress. Awareness, not perfection, is the goal graphic

Donate

A young lady, Anastasia, reached out to me via email. She is raising money to escape Russia with her family. She asked if I could place an ad on my website to promote her fundraising. I do not offer ad placement at this time so I included her link in todays post to gain some exposure. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to donate myself. I encourage any of you reading this to decide if this is a cause you can contribute to. Thank you for your considerations.

Do you practice mediation breathing? Do affirmations help guide you? Comment below if you find these weekly cards helpful. I love hearing from you ☺️

To Be Me

I Am

A journey of hope

I am fallible

Failing daily

To succeed

I struggle

to be

To be

Free

Free

from judgement

Opinion

And critique

To speak openly

Of life as a tragedy

Without pressure

To be

Happy

Void of emotions

Medicated

Stone

I’m not

Alone

A travesty of its

Own

Nose deep

We breathe our

Phone

To look up is

To

See deceit

Vulnerability

Isn’t pretty

Yet

society bundles

It

With a bow

I rock that shit

I make

Rawness

Glow

Deep down

It’s

All I

Know

Exposed

Is

To be

Me.
