I have been reflecting on many conversations with loved ones lately about how to get through the tough, weird and wonky times brought on by the pandemic.

Every single time I’ve dealt with some dark s*** or sad stuff, saying a special, pretty magical practice from the late spiritual teacher and author Wayne Dyer, and a sacred mantra from my bookkeeper, Bobbie Howard, have helped me shift my perspective and lift my spirits.

What often emerges are answers to the questions brought to the surface by the challenges at hand. I’ve since shared these affirmations with several people who have been dealing with insurmountable physical, mental and spiritual difficulties.

I pray this will offer you some light and lightness.

Take Action

1. If you’re having a bad day or going through a rough patch in life, remember, as sucky as things may seem, they are here to teach you something. Feel the feels and do the things that bring a healthy, good-feeling vibration into your ether.

For me, it’s an uplifting soul-to-soul conversation with a beloved kindred spirit, walking in nature or sitting in silence as I take 10+ deep breaths. Try it!

2. Affirmations help you reset your mind, body and spirit. Repeat the mantra:

“The perfect and right <fill in the blank> is on its way. You’ve got to believe it to receive it.”

Wayne Dyer would put a sign next to his bed that read, “Good things are going to HAPPEN.”

I like to say, “Good things are on the way!”

3. Reach out for help. Chances are, someone is waiting and willing to help you get through whatever situation you’re facing. No matter the hardship, be it physical, fiscal, mental, emotional or spiritual, know that you are not alone and there is hope.

What challenges are you facing? How are you coping? How are you reaching out for help? I want to know! Tag me on social @ToanLamTV & @GoInspireGo

May goodness find you soon!

Some facts (thanks Gov. Gavin Newsom for the numbers):
–more than 10,800 lightning strikes in 72 hours
–record heat temperatures
–more than 360 known wildfires

With the crazier-than-usual news cycle and a pandemic that is panning out to be worse off than we think, I’m sure many of us aren’t even thinking of manifesting our dreams or that ice cream cone to help cool us off from the heat.

I wanted to share a quick inspiring story with y’all about manifesting and why, now more than ever, we need to be careful about what we think (negative self-talkers, I’m lookin’ at you). Our thoughts are energy and if we connect emotions to them long enough, they manifest into reality.

This may sound crazy, but I was low-key obsessing over some lovely lavender/green/yellow hydrangeas this past week. I was too exhausted (and COVID-anxious) to wait in line to buy them at the farmers’ market but knew that I would get them sooner or later.

Then, they fell from the sky, y’all — what the WHAT?

Here’s what happened and a reminder from you to me on how we can co-create our realities just by thinking and believing.

Take Action

If the negative news and darkness of these trying times got you on a negative vibration, be mindful and remember to work through the pain and don’t get stuck in it. We can manifest some magic no matter what we are facing individually and collectively.

What are you hoping to manifest?

1. Attitude of Gratitude. STOP now and write down 10 things you’re grateful for. See how this practice reprograms your brain to focus on what brings you joy and notice how more blessings will be blossoming your way.

2. Wayne Dyer’s Ah Meditation: DO IT. (While some friends were like, um, that was weird… others said it works. I agree with the latter.)

3. Abraham Teachings: Now that you got past the “Ahhhhh” sounds, get tuned in through Esther Hicks

–The weekend’s storm jolted me out of bed at 4 a.m. and inspired me to write this blog on mourning the pre-pandemic you.

Blessings + Blossoms,

The post Hydrangeas Falling From the Sky: A Reminder on Manifesting appeared first on Go Inspire Go.

To be real, I’ve been vacillating between the two ever since the pandemic put us all on pause. Every morning, I sit still for a moment in meditation. Some days I feel like I’m slayin’, others like I’m stayin’ stuck in the same place.

That’s when I go to my breath and breathe — and realize that no matter the pauses or full-stops I’ve encountered in my personal, professional and spiritual life, I was always OK — then came through the other side better than I could have ever imagined.

I wanted to share some major downloads that came early this morning after being awakened by a huge Bay Area thunderstorm at 4 a.m. The lightning, thunder, wind, rain and cacophony of birds chirping was weirdly peaceful and a metaphor for what I’ve been weathering in my life since the pandemic hit in March.

I ran out to my living room to witness nature’s show and went into meditation right away. The perfect storm gave way to some insight on what’s been going on and how to process the pandemic’s pause. I really needed this (thank you God) to finally process the “new normal.”

Now, press play to download some wisdom, boo:

Take Action

1. Meditate! Start with 10 deep breaths. If you want to explore more, I love the Insight Timer Meditation App. Also, I mentioned the Wayne Dyer Manifestation Ahhh Meditation.

2. Gratitude journal. Do it. It works. Start with just five things you’re grateful for daily. When you’re grateful, you manifest more good things to be grateful for.

3. Sharing is caring. Share a story about how you are dealing with the pandemic. It may just change YOU and someone’s life for the better.

Be kind to yourself and others. The negative self-talk only puts you on a lower vibration. So vibe up. You, me, we will be OK.
