Today Is The Day

Have you ever looked in the mirror, seen your reflection, and thought, “This isn’t who I truly am”?  It’s one of those WTF moments where, despite your best efforts, you realize you’re not living the life you know deep down you were meant for. I call this the shedding phase, the beginning of a rebirth.  The “old” you is starting to fade.  And while a new version is waiting to emerge, the former self must first be laid to rest for reinvention requires release and that release? It can be painful because once you begin this transformation, there’s no returning to who you once were.  Everything shifts. Everything changes, and for many, that’s incredibly hard. 

So today I wanted to give you some tips if you ever find yourself in the shedding and rebirthing phase because this is all part of life and personal growth, so best you get used to it!

You’re Free to Fly

True freedom begins with acceptance. When we finally make peace with what is, we open ourselves to what's next.  Not from a place of fear or resistance, but from a place of calm readiness. “I’m okay,” becomes “I’m ready and even excited for what’s to come.”  Clinging to the past, trying to return to versions of ourselves, or relationships, or even places that we’ve outgrown only prolongs the pain, and yes, the pain itself is part of the process. It's like God's whispering... How much longer are you going to choose this?  Just like the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly, growth often begins in darkness. There’s struggle, uncertainty, pain, and letting go of everything that once felt familiar but eventually, a new form emerges.  Completely different, stronger, wiser, more aligned, and more beautiful than ever before, and then, at last you’re free to fly.

Do What Makes You Happy

One of the biggest challenges many people face isn’t a lack of ambition, it’s simply not knowing what they’re meant to do or who they’re meant to become.  That’s when it helps to look back often, the answers are hidden in our childhood. Who we are at our core, and what we’re here to do, has always been with us. But over time, those truths can get buried beneath layers of expectations like who we thought we had to be to be accepted, loved, or validated.  We learn to shape-shift to fit in.  We silence parts of ourselves to please others and with each layer of pretending, we drift further away from our authentic self.  The cost? Self-abandonment. Disconnection. Misery.  This is why it’s so important, essential, even to do what truly makes you happy. Not what looks good on paper. Not what others expect.  Just what feels real and right for you.  Forget the rest.

You Always Get to Choose

Let go of the constant worrying about how it’s all going to work out, how the bills will get paid, or whether you're making the “right” move. Instead, focus on doing what brings you joy and if you're not sure what that is right now, that’s okay. Just start by following the quiet nudges from your heart. Maybe it’s the urge to take a trip, try something new, buy yourself something small, or simply rest. Maybe you feel called to join a gym or to stop working out for a while and just be.  Maybe you get the urge to visit a bookstore, and there you’ll find the exact message or confirmation you’ve been needing.   Whatever it is, honour that inner pull. Trust your internal guidance system.  Because here’s what I know for sure: nothing outside of you can create lasting happiness.  Happiness isn’t a destination or a reward.  It’s a decision.  You can choose to meet life with a light heart, to live on the brighter side of things, and watch how ease and flow begin to meet you there.  Or you can choose to resist, to stay stuck in misery, and let life feel like a constant uphill battle.  Either way, you get to decide.

Armour Up

No one and nothing can stand in the way of your destiny unless you allow it. That’s why you must armour up. You must cultivate an unshakable sense of self, rooted in truth, and walk boldly in that divine knowing.  Let me be clear: there’s a big difference between someone who’s driven by ego and someone who is anchored in purpose.  True confidence is quiet. It’s grounded, steady, and unbothered. These people aren't out to prove anything, they simply are. They move with clarity, not arrogance. Their strength doesn’t demand attention, because it speaks for itself.  And their focus? It’s not on self-glorification. They know where their strength comes from, and they give the glory to something bigger than themselves.  On the other hand, when someone doesn’t know who they are, when they’re insecure, afraid, or disconnected from their truth they often seek validation from the outside. They crave attention, approval, or recognition, because deep down they’re wrestling with fear, pain, or a sense of not-enoughness.  You’ll feel the difference. One energy is whole. The other is reaching.  So, if you want to rise into who you were born to be, don’t waste your energy proving. Instead, prepare. Know who you are. Stand firm. Stay grounded. And armour up.

Today Is the Day

Here’s a little manifesting secret that many people overlook:  You don’t wait for the perfect moment. You claim it now.  Today is the day.  Not someday, not when everything lines up, not when you feel “ready.”  Now is the moment to align with what’s already yours and walk boldly in it.  The energy you choose in this very moment holds power. The sooner you shift your mindset, raise your frequency, and truly believe that your desires are already on their way or even already here, the faster they begin to manifest in your physical reality.  It’s not about waiting for signs or timing to be “just right.” It’s about recognizing that the right time is whenever you decide it is.  Your breakthrough begins when you start showing up as the version of you who already has the life you desire. When you believe it, embody it, and live like it’s already done, that’s when things move.  So let this be your reminder:  Today is not just another day.  It’s the day.  The day you choose. The day you shift. The day you receive.

Be a "For Here" Kind of Person, Not a "To Go" Kind of Person

Have you ever walked into a coffee shop and had to decide: for here or to go?  At first glance, it seems like a small choice, but there’s something symbolic about it.  Choosing “for here” invites you to slow down. You sit, breathe, and sip your drink from a real mug something solid, warm, grounded. There's no rush. You're fully present. “To go,” on the other hand, is fast. It's convenient. You're already halfway out the door before your coffee even cools, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, sometimes it mirrors the way we move through life.  Always in motion, rarely grounded, constantly chasing the next thing.  But here’s the truth: the things that matter most in life, clarity, growth, alignment, inner peace, don’t thrive in a rush.  You need to be for here with yourself.  Because thoughts will come and go. Doubts will swirl in and out. Fear, comparison, and uncertainty might try to pull you off course.  But when you’re rooted in your inner knowing, in your truth, your desires, and what you deeply deserve you stay steady. You’re not racing for a quick fix or instant validation. You’re showing up, grounded, ready to experience life fully and intentionally.  So be a “for here” kind of person.  Stay present with your vision. Stay loyal to your truth. Stay grounded in what you know is meant for you.  Everything changes when you stop rushing and start being.

The In-Between Stage

This is the most difficult part of the journey.  The in-between.  It’s that space between where you are and where you know you’re meant to be.  It’s where your timing and divine timing often don’t seem to line up, and the waiting can start to wear on you especially if you’re not mentally and emotionally anchored.  But this stage, as uncomfortable as it is, serves a deeper purpose.  In the meantime, your only job is to care for yourself.  Do whatever you can to feel good, to nourish your mind, body, and soul.  This doesn’t mean pretending everything is perfect. It means gently shifting your focus away from what's not happening and choosing instead to reside in the energy of your desire already being fulfilled.  That one energetic shift changes everything.  Yes, this stage will stretch your faith more than any other.  But if you pause and reflect on your past, you’ll see it clearly.  You’ve been carried before. You’ve been supported. You’ve been guided, even when it didn’t feel like it in the moment.  Let that truth remind you that you are not waiting in vain.  Use this time to remind yourself daily of what’s already good in your life.  Anchor into gratitude and celebrate the small wins. Acknowledge the progress even in the waiting and know that there are signs that your desires are on their way. Look around the evidence is there and while you're here, in this in-between space, allow yourself to feel all of it.  The frustration, the hope, the doubt, the excitement. It’s okay. Give yourself grace.
This is not a race, and it’s not a punishment. It’s preparation.  You can create what you desire.
You will get to where you're meant to go.  But you must stay grounded in your truth. You must hold the vision even when you don’t see results.  You must stand firm in faith unwavering, even in the silence.  The in-between is not the end.  It’s just the space before the breakthrough.

So, as you move onto your next journey and destination, always honour who you were before.  Take some time to pause and appreciate who you’ve been, what you’ve done, and everything you’ve become along the way.  Above all else know that the best is always right here in the present moment with more magical moments that are yet to come.
