Energy Forecast for August 16th - 22nd | PRIORITIES & WAKE UP CALL
When life is busy it’s easy to put your self care to the side. When life is busy your bad habits and behaviours become more prominent. When life is busy it’s easy to become lazy with your personal growth.
Life is always moving forward, whether you are choosing to show up intentionally or not. Life will not wait for you to be ready, you need to be aware and make the choice right now to be ready.
As a Spiritual Mentor, Psychic and Intuitive Guide I’ve noticed one of the most common characteristics we, as humans, embody is getting caught up in the stress of all the things we need to do, all the things we need to accomplish in order to cross tasks off the to-do list. It’s this hustle mentality of go, go, go. It’s the belief that one day things will settle down, and until then we have to work our asses off.
Let me be real with you…
There is ALWAYS shit to do. There will always be a growing to-do list. There will always be a busy-ness to life. If you are not careful life can run you down. It’s time to start taking control of your life through your mindset, your choices, your decisions, your actions and your perception.
You are busy ignoring your truth. There is always something that is calling on your heart and soul, and you are avoiding taking action and making choices that prioritize this soul calling. WHY? Because there is too much to do. You are prioritizing the to-do list over the voice of your soul.
Before I unpack the Energy Forecast for this week and all that we need to know in order to flow with more ease and grace, I want to share some self reflections that I am moving through right now. This is a little life update and I hope it inspires you to take a deeper look into your own life.
SELF REFLECTION
I believe there are two ways that we typically think about life (a) we look at where we want to be and all that it will take to get there, which is future oriented; and (b) we look at where we’ve come from and all the things that have happened to affect our current reality, which is past oriented. These two perspectives are stopping us from living our life right now.
Over the past several weeks I’ve found myself stuck in either one of these perspectives, which means I have been avoiding living my life at this moment.
I’ve been worried about how my life will play out because of past choices I made.
I’ve been doubtful that I’ll achieve my desires because of the amount of work it’s going to take.
I’ve questioned my ability to be successful because of the judgments I carry.
I’ve been frustrated that I am not experiencing what I want to experience.
Over the past several weeks I’ve been avoiding making choices that support me right now. I’ve been ignoring my bad habits that are leading me in a direction I don’t want to go in.
Don’t get me wrong, there have been a lot of great things that have been happening in my life recently, but when I stop moving and my mind begins to wander I can’t help but think of all that I don’t have. I can’t help but think of all the things I have to do.
“Life is always going to be busy if I am not actively slowing down. My mind is always going to be racing if I am not actively slowing it down.”
I went on a 4 day backcountry hike in the wilderness. My ultimate dream vacation. One morning I was sitting in front of this beautiful view of the mountains and I was soaking up the feeling of contentment, bliss, peacefulness, and belonging. Life wasn’t busy because there was nothing I had to do at that moment. My mind wasn’t racing because I chose to be present in soaking up the goodness that surrounded me. I said to myself “how can I create this feeling in my everyday life? How can I experience this kind of moment when I live in a busy city?” I didn’t have the answer, but I certainly knew I had to figure it out.
After my trip I got home and I felt awful. I felt so disconnected from myself and I felt overwhelmed by all the things I had to do, that the only thing I ended up doing was boycotting life. I didn’t do anything. For almost an entire week. I made the choice to ignore the voice of my soul and instead let my ego run my life. My ego was telling me that I’ll never accomplish my dreams so I might as well not even try. I wanted to escape this feeling of unworthiness, so I fell into my bad habits of scrolling social media constantly, ignoring all the work I had to do, eating poorly, and not taking care of myself.
I made those choices.
I decided to do nothing.
I intentionally stepped away from my soul alignment.
So, now I am asking myself again “how can I create that same feeling from my trip in my everyday life? How can I experience those kinds of moments when I live in a busy city?”
This is what the voice of my soul is telling me.
Keep going.
Trust yourself.
You are capable.
When I dig in a little deeper to these messages I am reminded of the fact that I have power over my life. I get to choose how I want to experience every single day. I get to prioritize whatever is important to me.
First and foremost I am prioritizing my mental health. It’s easy for me to believe the thoughts my mind creates, and sometimes those thoughts are not supportive. This can lead me to frustration, worry, doubt and fear. I don’t want to experience these emotions on a daily basis. When I meditate it’s not about getting better at meditating, it’s about filling my mind with the peace I desire. It’s about allowing myself to feel supported right now. It’s about removing the pressure my mind creates and coming back to living in the present. This is what meditation does for me.
Next, I am prioritizing my spiritual connection to the Universe. When I was on that 4 day hiking trip I felt deeply connected to Mother Earth. I felt grounded and rooted to the healing medicine of the earth. I felt strong in my desires as the mountains reminded me to stand tall. I felt at ease in how my life was unfolding as the river reminded me to flow. I felt capable in my ability to care for myself as the trees reminded me that I have all that I need right now. It was in this connection that I was able to receive clear Divine messages of support and I was able to remember the purpose to life. There are many different ways that I can strengthen my connection to the Universe and I am making sure to include these practices in my day to day life.
The main message that I am being reminded of through my self reflection is that my life is happening right now and I get to experience it however I want to. If I desire to live a life I love then I better choose experiences that I enjoy. Living is about being here, right now, in this moment, and choosing to experience it as it unfolds.
The only way you can actively live is by creating alignment, mind body soul, right now. Otherwise you are passively living, always trying to catch up and reach some future moment.
Moving forward I am choosing to prioritize myself in order to experience life in a positive way.
This is when I ask you…
What have you been avoiding or ignoring in your life?
What choices have you been making that don’t support you?
Where do your priorities lie?
It’s time for you to look a little deeper. The only way you will receive your desires is if you change the way you are living.
In order to create a life you love, you need to be willing to let go of the habits, choices, people and situations that do not support you.

ENERGY FORECAST
When it comes to the Moon Cycle we are being reminded to take action this week. We are approaching the Full Moon phase, which occurs on Sunday, August 22nd. Now is the time to take action in a way that feels good to you. Make choices and decisions that support you in creating experiences you enjoy. There may be some obstacles that pop up this week, so don’t let the obstacles sway you off course. Continue to prioritize yourself and all that you need in order to feel good.
As the moon approaches it’s Full phase you may start to receive the clarity you’ve been waiting for and answers are going to pop up in regards to the problems you’ve been facing lately. Energies are also heightened leading up to the Full Moon, so make sure you are taking rest when needed. The people in your life may be projecting their negativity onto you this week, so as empaths and sensitive souls be aware that if you are feeling low it might be because you’ve picked up on someone else’s energy. Take time to release, cleanse and connect back to yourself.
Now, let’s see what messages are coming up for this week in the cards. Today I am asking “how can we support ourselves in creating experiences we will enjoy this week?”
CEREMONY - INVOCATION
Have you taken the time to connect to your inner spirit? Your true essence? Do you know what the voice of your soul sounds like? Do you know where your passions lie? Do you know what your soul purpose is?
Ultimately you are here on earth to learn how to create a life that you enjoy. It’s about learning to experience each moment as it’s happening and to create experiences that feel good to you. How can you do this if you don’t know how your soul guides you?
This week you are being asked to prioritize your connection to your spirit. In ceremony (however it looks to you) the intention is to simply be. It’s not about doing all the things and hustling to get the to-do list finished. Ceremony is about asking for help from a source greater than you. Ceremony is about learning to trust in your ability. Ceremony is about getting clear on your desires and how you can take action right now. Ceremony is about slowing down and getting present to how you feel. Ceremony is about building faith in the bigger picture and believing in the possibility of more.
You want to support yourself this week? Well then it’s time to create a daily ceremony where you prioritize yourself.

TSUNAMI - WAKE UP CALL
Pay attention! You’ve been avoiding and ignoring the signs that you are headed down a path that isn’t for your highest good. There have been clear messages that you need to change directions and you aren’t listening. If you continue to AVOID then you will get caught in the harshest storm. You will find yourself drowning in difficulties and challenges, all because you didn’t heed the advice of your soul.
Quick! If you act now you can change the direction you are headed down. If you wake up and choose to become aware of your current situation then you can move to higher ground. Stop avoiding and start recognizing that your current environment is not supporting you. This could be your mental environment, your physical environment or your emotional environment. Either way you’ve been avoiding it for too long and now is the time to make a change.
WOW! The messages this week are strong, and I can clearly see how they are connected to my own personal self reflection. I’m excited to prioritize myself this week, because I can tell that if I don’t I will end up worse off then when I’m currently at.
