This is a well-practiced, emergency to do list to get your shit together easily.
How can you determine if your life is about to go downhill before the actual thing hits you like winter in May?
Life crashed me quite a few times, and each time I really had no idea how to deal with it, or how am I suppose to make it, and every single time I had no choice but to find a way or create one. So many times everything I believed to be true disappeared in a blink of a second. Lifestyle I’ve built, my job, social circle, relationship, my home was a mess and my heart was chaotic.
This spring everything went to shit one more time. So I designed a little to do list of things that really help every time you hit a rock button.
1. Start from the end.
I gave myself time to grieve and process. And the last time, honestly, it took just a week. Practice, you know. Why suffer and stay negative longer than it actually takes. We all know that at the end, we will have a beautiful fresh start. So this time I started from the end. In one week, I went through grief, anger, resistance, I processed it, then forgave and let it go.
2. Space.
I started with clearing and polishing space where I live until the last millimeter of my bathroom. I changed design of my apartment, threw out everything that was from the past (bedsheets, clothes, toothbrush, dishes), and filled the empty space with new things I enjoyed buying. And that truly felt like the first major step of changes.
3. Body.
So I would either go on detox, or start eating really healthy, trying new recipes, this time for example, I also hired myself a cook, because I have no time or desire for cooking. I started working out differently and a little bit more, I started doing more yoga, more squats with intentions, more dancing for the morning workout, and consistent breathing exercises. Eventually, I started dreaming again and got a sparkle of excitement for life, again. What I’ve discovered as well, is my emotional body and started taking care of it.
4. New Look.
I set an intention to clear my energy from any toxicity while throwing out everything I no longer wear and enjoyed every second of it. Then I enjoyed shopping. I did my nails and facial, found myself a new masseuse, renewed my hair style and eventually I established an amazing routine of loving myself so much.
5. New mindset.
I started practicing meditation in a way of prayer. I would go outside my balcony, I would rise my hands to the sky and say: “I love you, life! I love you so unconditionally and I am so grateful to have a motivation to be alive and enjoy it!” I’d call upon on my angels and I’d feel them and I would just feel as if something magical, happy and joyful is happening today and what if, as a wishful thinking, it would happen for real. And I didn't cling to that, so that I wouldn't keep on thinking about it, and what was left was that state of happiness within me. And then, from that space of present yet detached joy, everything would align.
6. Money.
I organized the flow of work as much as I could and I started looking for a personal assistant to delegate stuff I don’t enjoy doing, so that I can focus on creating products that bring me the most joy. Instead of grinding for success, I started developing a habit of happiness from everything I do.
7. New dreams.
Here I developed routines where I would meditate on shifting my emotional state unto the one where I already am and have everything I dream of. Question was - how do I want to feel, who do I want to become and what do I want to have, so I was making a new intentional wish list every morning. And then, I started practicing a new habit of increasing my sexuality, drive and the power to stand in my femininity. I guess I’ll have to write a whole course on techniques that really work on this one.
8. Travel and Learning
The last thing on this list was I chose a specific festival to go for learning and expanding new horizons, to have a new, exciting vision for projects to build when I am back.
Bottom line here is learning to shift your emotional perception effortlessly and developing positive thinking based on creative reactions.
I hope this article will give you a little bit of inspiration and courage to believe that at any given moment you can choose again.
