How to Apply this to my Life
You overthink, because you don't write
I used to overthink so much, to a point where it was crippling. When you are trying to remember everything you need to do, instead of simply writing it down in a calendar, your brain has so much sensory overload that it cannot possibly have any room left for thinking power. Write things down. Write everyday, write about anything, and everything. The best part is, after you sleep, your brain and conscious mind gets downloads from your spirit guides and higher self. Sleep is the equivalent of updating software on your computer, and needing to restart it before it can be used. You can download all the information you want, but until you sleep, it's no good. It just takes up space in your conscious mind and congests an already overloaded system.
You're anxious, because you don't act
Nothing, and I mean nothing is worse than feeling powerless, not being able to speak up (act), thus making you more anxious, thus making you more unable to speak. I have always felt like there were two of me, the one who could act, boldly, bravely, and speak my mind, and the other that couldn't even walk around with my head held high because I genuinely thought other people were looking at me and talking bad about me. In 8th grade, I was assaulted by three boys, and the whole school found out about it. No protocols were taken, no therapy, I just carried the shame of what happened to me. It festered and turned into full blown anxiety and self-imposed powerlessness that I could not seem to shake off. This turned into low self worth at a young age. Before I had even become an adult, my life had been significantly altered.
Today, gratefully, I stand up for myself. I made a promise to myself that when my intuition says something is off, with anyone or anything, I must do something about it and immediately. I cannot let myself freeze again or get manipulated back into something I don't want for myself.
You procrastinate, because you don't have a plan
Oof! This one I needed to hear. I always procrastinate. For the first time in my life, I actually am giving myself the time I need and deserve to work on my projects and study for tests. I was so used to waiting until the last minute. It seemed like that was the only way I would have motivation to complete whatever project. But this was a fallacy at best- a self sabotage at worst.
Motivation does not come before action. Action comes before motivation.
A plan is a way to strategize a desired outcome. Every time I had waited until the last minute (which was literally every single test and assignment ever), I never turned in my best work and I never got my best grade. I sold myself short. I currently struggle with this. I have so much I'm balancing. My life purpose is to create lasting change for this planet, and to do so, I need to have a plan. The people who changed the world made decisions quickly and changed their minds slowly because they had a clear set of values guiding them. This made making decisions more binary and less ambiguous. When faced with a crucial dilemma, they referred back to their plan for guidance.
I will create a system for myself in which I clarify my values and create an elegant and uncomplicated process. A rule of thumb. With this system in place, I will do only what I need to do and nothing more. I will give all my attention to what is truly important.
There is a saying that has changed my life:
Easy is right.
There is no need to overcomplicate things and make them harder than they need to be. Often, the easiest way, the one where Devine Guidance flows through me, is the right way. Sometimes I just need to get out of my own way. The only limitations I’ve ever had were the ones I placed on myself.
You stress, because you don't train
Stress is a natural response to uncertainty, but training—whether it’s physical exercise, meditation, mental discipline, or even just sticking to a routine—can transform stress into something manageable. For me, training means committing to a process. When I was younger, I let stress rule me; I didn't have a method to handle it, so it consumed me. Now, I train myself daily—not just in fitness, but in emotional resilience. I train my mind through journaling, my body through movement, and my emotions through conscious awareness. Training is the difference between feeling out of control and knowing you have the tools to handle whatever comes your way.
You lack clarity, because you don't journal
Journaling is the most important thing I do to gain clarity, not just on my future, but on my past too. It helps me see how far I've come. It allows me to piece together things that I couldn't see in my mind's eye. It also helps me to process traumas. Until it’s written in my journal, it lingers in my mind, taking up space and draining my energy. Journaling is my tool for untangling past pain and making space for clarity. Without it, old wounds linger, weighing me down emotionally and even physically. But when I write, I release. I create space—not just in my mind, but in my energy field—for healing, alignment, and Divine flow.
To keep my chakras aligned and be a true channel for Divine flow, I must create as many opportunities as possible for it to move through me. Journaling is one of the most powerful ways I allow clarity and healing to flow through me.
You feel lost, because you have not searched for your purpose
Purpose isn’t something that simply appears—it’s something you uncover, layer by layer. I used to wander through life feeling disconnected, unsure why I was here or what I was meant to do. But the truth is, purpose doesn’t reveal itself all at once. It whispers. It leaves breadcrumbs. It asks you to seek it out. The more I searched, the more I realized that my purpose wasn’t something outside of me—it was something I had to create, something I had to become. Every time I followed what truly lit me up inside, my passion, I found another piece of the puzzle. And with each piece, I felt a little less lost.
You seek validation, because you haven't found it within yourself.
For so long, I searched for approval in the eyes of others. I thought if I could just prove myself—if I could be successful enough, beautiful enough, talented enough—then maybe I would finally feel worthy. But no amount of praise or recognition could fill the void inside me. The moment the applause faded, I was left with the same question: Do I believe in myself? The truth is, external validation is fleeting, but self-acceptance is unshakable.
There will always be someone prettier than you, smarter than you, and more talented than you- but no one will be you.
This quote changed my life. It gave me permission to not have to be the "best" and be okay with that. I met myself where I was, embraced what lit me up, and regained the energy that was lost comparing myself to others.
You feel overwhelmed, because you try to control what’s beyond your reach.
There is so much in this life that I cannot control—people, circumstances, outcomes. But for years, I tried anyway. I exhausted myself micromanaging every detail, believing that if I just held on tightly enough, I could force things to go my way. But control is an illusion.
The universe always has your back.
I’ll say it again: the universe always has your best interest at heart, always guiding you toward your highest growth. Some of the things beyond my control were deeply painful—even heinous abuses. But they didn’t happen to me; they happened for me.
The moment I let go, everything shifted. I realized that my power lies not in controlling the world, but in controlling my response to it. Surrendering isn’t weakness—it’s trust. And trust brings peace.
All your problems have a solution—you just need the courage to take the first step.
Every road to change begins with a single step. Sometimes that step is terrifying. Sometimes it’s messy, uncertain, full of doubt. But movement creates momentum. And momentum creates transformation. I spent years waiting—waiting for clarity, for confidence, for the “right” time. But the right time never comes. The only time is now. The moment I stopped waiting and started doing, I realized that the path wasn’t as scary as I thought. The solutions I had been searching for weren’t ahead of me; they had been inside me all along. I just needed the courage to begin.
