Gratitude’s biggest benefit is that it aligns with the Law of Attraction’s basic principle of ‘like energy attracts like energy’. Because the positive vibration of having an ‘attitude of gratitude’ is so much higher, you naturally attract more positively vibrating people, situations, and events into your life.

It's important to remember that having an "Attitude of Gratitude" is more than just feeling grateful:

• It’s actively seeking out things to appreciate and expressing thanks for them.
• It requires a mindset shift to make gratitude a daily habit
• You must become a person who sees only the positive in all situations, including challenging ones

A few practical suggestions for practicing gratitude, such as:

• Keeping a gratitude journal.
• Expressing thanks directly to loved ones.
• Finding gratitude even in challenging times.
• Creating new traditions that center on thankfulness.

Conscious Decisions

Let’s say you are about to make a major purchase, like a house or car. The very first step is you make a conscious decision to do so. Then there are steps you take before you even step onto the car lot. This is going to be about the same with the series I am going to start with you all.

So, the first step before this journey is going to be you have to home in, make a conscious decision that you are DONE!!! Done wanting, done feeling bad about yourself, done seeing other people win, and you are sitting back here struggling to hang on, the rock bottom, the sink or swim…. Easy nuff???

Now, this is not going to be the funnest ride ever. It is going to be facing the raw truth, it’s going to take some work, some healing, some dedication, facing fears and overcoming some mindsets and bad habits.

I look at it like this... it is like surgery. You’re nervous before you get to that date, but there is prepping that needs to be done, you finally own up to the fact it needs to be done, you go through the surgery, recovery is usually a bitch, and then once everything is all said and done, you feel 100 times better than before the surgery, and you don’t have to carry the pain from whatever the issue was in the first place. You shed that shit off, learn your lesson, and you become more loyal to that part of yourself, you celebrate the wins, you cycle through and do some more healing and it becomes more and more easier as you go, because you begin to know yourself a little better each time because all those unseen truths and gifts of yours start to rise to the surface.

So, let’s talk about the rundown of this series coming up.

We talked about making the conscious decision that you want this for yourself and those around you. The next step is going to be:

• Preparing and visualizing
  • Homing in and getting your intentions set on what you are about to do.
  • Start your journal.
• Healing with the elements from the pain
  • We will revisit what each element does and what they offer us on our healing journey.
• Chakra work / shadow work
  • We are going to look through a different lens at the chakra, this is where I will begin to open up sessions.
• Self-care
  • What is self-care exactly and why should I even care?
• Goal setting
  • Darcy’s series about the moon phases here.
  • How to set goals
  • Visualizations and magic
  • The power of the mind
  • Dumping some unhealthy habits and what that does for you mentally and physically.
• Rituals
  • Where do I start?
  • Why is it important?

Consistency and repetition build strength.

Winning

• What is next?
• How to not fall into a slump
• Setting up for the next win
• Being patient and trust the process.

Do you ever wonder why it takes you 3-4 or maybe even seven tries before you reach a goal, no matter how much willpower you have or planning that you do? Have you ever stopped to consider that there may be outside influences, even cosmic ones, that are impacting your ability to succeed?

Well, what if I told you that the phase of the moon on any given day might just hold the key to unlocking your manifesting potential and understanding the different emotions and energies that you feel throughout the month?

Pretty awesome, huh?

Hi, I'm certified Moonologer and professional tarot reader, Darcy Britt, and I want to welcome you to another episode of the Awakened the Authentic You podcast. More specifically, this is a little side project that I like to do called Moonlight Chronicles.

Today, we are going to talk a little bit about why I follow the moon and why I truly believe that understanding where the moon is on any given day, really can hold the key to so many of the things that we want in life (like loving and healthy relationships, amazing jobs, supportive friends, and even living a healthier lifestyle).

Once you start getting more in tune with the Moon and you understand the different ebbs and flows of energies when it's paired usually with the Zodiac sign or even the house on your chart that's a little bit deeper, you really start to understand that setting your goals at certain phases of the moon. Is almost a a better recipe for success than you ever could have imagined.
