4 5 PRACTICE GOING WITH THE FLOW: PRACTICE HEALTHY HABITS: What you resist - persists. I talk to the element of WATER during my prayer time and ask for it to assist me in going with the flow when I feel myself digging in and resisting. Going with the flow can feel like a wishy washy or weak behavior to Type A, got all my shit under control women like me, but I assure you WATER is a formidable element and archetype, so cultivating the ability to go with the flow is quite powerful. It’s time to take stock of all of your daily doings and decide if they still serve the woman you desire to be in 2018. I for one have cut way back on my alcohol consumption. I found myself not feeling great the morning after having a couple of cocktails, and decided that the woman I desire to BE feels great and refreshed when she wakes up in the morning, so I cut back on my drinking - significantly. My drinking cocktails habit was bringing me down and blocking me from feeling the way I desired, so it had to go. Bah-bye. 6 PRACTICE FORGIVENESS: This is not an easy one for me, especially with the people closest to me. I totally let the water roll off my back and forgive easy-peasy with strangers and friends, however I take it SO hard when the people I love like my children or close family hurt my feelings. Sadly, I’ve had quite a few opportunities to practice forgiveness over the last 18 months. I’m still a work in progress and will be starting a Ho’oponopono practice to help me along. 88 www.AspireMAG.net | February / March 2018
