Christy’s Lifestyle Essentials

Happy Magical Monday, sunshine! First, I want to apologize for not having a blog post ready for Silly Sunday Funday. Ohhh how I wanted to, but my brain said it needed a break. So, I listened to it. I’ve learned that when I don’t listen to it, I eventually have some kind of meltdown. Didn’t want that to happen! Anyway, I digress lol..

Magical Monday is all about finding the magic within yourself and preparing for the transformation of your life, sunshine! Tap on your chest. THAT is where the magic resides, sunshine! You have it all at your fingertips!

Do some meditation, yoga, or just sit and self reflect for a while. See yourself as an outsider would see you. Take a look at your behavior, actions, reactions, thoughts and feelings. Really pay attention to what you see. Write these things down, then think of ways that you could work on what you wrote down. This is an exercise that I perform often. It helps to keep me in check of myself.

My story and my journey have been extremely magical in so many ways! I feel like I’m transforming into something incredibly beautiful – something similar to the butterfly.

In my darkest times, I’m the caterpillar, shielded from the world inside the cocoon of my own mind. I’m undergoing tremendous changes inside my cocoon, sometimes turning into a big pile of goo because of my emotions, similar to the transformation process of that cute little caterpillar. I have a feeling that once I’ve completed my transformation, I will emerge as the most glorious and beautiful butterfly that I’ve ever seen! Boy, do I hope so! How magical that really will be!

My sweet and dear sunshine, I am undergoing the most incredible and spectacular transformation of my entire life! I want you to know that if I, the master procrastinator, the one with 2 forms of depression, the one with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, the one with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the one who always made excuses, the one who refused to take care of herself, the one who hit rock bottom and further.. if I can make this transformation, then YOU absolutely, positively, definitely, completely and wholeheartedly can do it, too!

All you have to do is believe in yourself and your magic within.
