Sometimes the only thing holding us back from our dreams is just an old belief we are holding on to or something we keep telling ourselves.

I hear so often from the women that I work with, that they are struggling with imposter syndrome and feel like they’re stuck. Even in times when they feel like they’ve manifested all the things they’ve wanted, they have a hard time accepting it.

For example, I can't buy that handbag I want because the economy is super unstable right now.....even though the money is in the bank.
I'm not going to share that vulnerable side of me because I'm afraid of what they'll think......even though it’s part of who they are.
When I lose 15lbs, I’ll finally find my soul mate.....even though they are perfect as they are.

I’m happy with this job I hate because it pays the bills….even though they have a burning vision within them.

The truth is, you’re not a fraud, you just don’t believe you’re worthy.

Today is a great day to let go of the crap that's in your head telling you to be something your soul doesn't vibe with. Your real work is to drop the weight of these things that aren't lighting you up & setting your soul on fire.

Ever feel like you’re too up in the air, indecisive or just pulled in way too many directions? Yeah, me too. This post is all about how to get more grounded in life so you feel more in control.

With the Fall season approaching, the desire for feeling more connected & grounded is just so, so important. As a mom, each year gets increasingly more hectic and has been nothing but dodgeballs coming seemingly at the speed of light. If it isn’t one thing, it seems like there is another one that pops right up. It is a continual cycle that can test your endurance, your patience and your strength.

From what I’ve learned is that the best thing to do when it feels like life is getting a little too hectic, is to make getting grounded a top priority. I have several ways I like to do it AND in episode 74 of the Blissful Ambitious podcast, I’m breaking down 6 things I learned and practiced to help me get to that feeling of being more in control of life.

6 things you can do to feel more grounded & in control of your life:

1.Mini meditations/deep breaths.

Put your hand on your heart, take a few deep breaths ( I really like box breathing ) and ask yourself what it is that you truly need in this moment. This is an everyday, moment to moment practice for me. Whether I just need to calm myself through staring at piles of laundry or sitting down and trying to create a grocery list.

If it takes a while for you to actually slow down and get present, you may want to light a bit of palo santo and then make yourself a list of personal affirmations that you can repeat to keep you focused and reprogram your mind.

2. Declutter & organize your home.

If you ever feel overwhelmed, out of control or unclear, it is time to conquer your clutter and organize all of the clutter in your home. Why? Because your home is a reflection of what is going on inside of you and you need to energetically lighten your load. When you uplift your environment, you uplift yourself. And finally get rid of what no longer serves you. Take my workshop High Vibe Home for the exact method you can start changing your life today!

3. Write down your monthly goals and intentions.

For me, this one is a game changer. When I started doing morning pages, I really began to feel more grounded in my life. It felt like my mind wasn’t so overwhelmed with so many different open tabs and I just felt a little bit more in control.

Each month, I like to set intentions for what I want to create. If you know where you want to go, you’re more likely to actually get there. Getting your ideas/thoughts/wants out on paper helps you get your mind to focus on specific goals.

Another way you want to get your mind more calm and centered, start a habit of list making.

Here are a few lists that I like to make in my notebook that really help me find some clarity and calm:

things I need to do
grocery / home supplies list
books I want to read
places I want to go
birthday cards and gifts to buy
home projects to be completed

4. Identify where you’re stuck and change your routine.

Sometimes blocks we can’t even see can get in our way and the routines and habits we adapt to tend to keep us repeating the same things. So, in order to change things up a little bit, you can begin by just switching up your daily habits and your routine.

Take a different route to work, go to a different coffee shop, check out a new workout class. Try a new skin care routine, wear a different perfume or go shopping for some new clothes that actually fit your body. Sometimes, it may even just be that you wear a new lipstick color and that can completely shake up your comfort zone routines.

5. Surrender the current situation.

Many times when we are frustrated or feel out of control, so we work overtime trying to fix those things. We may even over think, over strategize, over analyze and then end up exhausting our mind and body. I once read a book that really helped me work through this, Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff. It really helps you understand that we don’t have control over everything and sometimes it is best for us to just accept things as they are and stop the resistance.

Whenever you are in doubt of where to go or what to do, just surrender the situation to a higher power. Then, take a cleansing ritual bath and a nap!

6. Take quick, inspired action.

Typically, after you unwind and surrender…that’s when creative inspiration strikes. The best thing to do when you have a brilliant idea…take immediate action. That’s when the universe really moves to support you! And when you take quick action in the direction of you dreams, you tend to feel a sense of focus and grounding, which will ultimately help you feel more grounded.
