Moon Days: Waxing Moon Affirmations

Hello lovelies,

Sorry I have been so absent lately. This season is kicking my butt. I feel like I am playing constant catch up in all areas of my life right now and having bouts of insomnia is not helping one bit. It seriously must be this Moon cycle with all the eclipses, not to mention the oh-so-fun Mercury retrograde. Oy. Please hang in there and thank you for your patience with me; I am definitely not up on my game.

Holidays are upon us and I cannot believe it is already Thanksgiving! Soon after is my boyfriend's birthday on December 4th, and then my birthday four days after! And then on to Christmas! List making is commencing this week for sure!

So I am needing a boost. Here are some affirmations to help keep your energy up and your spirit motivated; perfect for the Waxing Moon:

"I live in abundant health and energy."

"As I follow my passions, my energy is boundless."

"Each choice I make brings me balance and harmony."

"I am motivated to reach my goals with enthusiasm!"

"I take steps towards my passions, goals, and happiness each and everyday."

"I attract the motivation and support I need." 

When working with affirmations it is important to FEEL they way you want to feel while saying them. If you connect these words to your feelings your brain will associate the two together and it will be easier to achieve these results! Our mind is sooo powerful! 

I like to imagine my solar plexus chakra (right below the diaphragm) light up and shimmer a beautiful, bright yellow while saying these; this chakra is associated with our drive, self-esteem, and motivation, so these affirmations can definitely boost an under-active chakra and spark the flame once again.

I love this resource for affirmations as well.

I hope these can help you. And please let me know what keeps you motivated too. I'd love to hear from you all.

Love and Blessings,

Moon Days: Waxing Moon

Hello Dear Ones! I have officially labeled Mondays, as Moon Days (corny, I know) to celebrate the Moon, learn about Her cycles and to help you find your unique relationship with Her! Yay!

Some may ask, "Why is this important, Moondaughter?" Well, it is my own personal belief, that women are closely connected with the Moon. The Moon affects the natural world, through the tides of the ocean, animal  mating and migrations, as well as the growth of plants, so why wouldn't She affect us humans? We are made up of at least 70 percent of water, so She must have some sway on us. Plus, our menstruation cycles follow (or used to anyway, before technology and hormonal contraceptives) the monthly cycles of the Moon. I believe when we strive to follow these natural cycles more closely; we connect with ourselves more deeply; we connect with nature more sacredly; and we live in a more healthy way. It sounds like a win-win situation to me!

Right now the Moon is waxing, meaning growing to fullness. The crescent is usually pointing to the left and this phase roughly lasts for two weeks. The energy is buzzing right now and will build up to the Full Moon.  Some people feel wonderful during this phase, with high energy and motivation, while others may feel too antsy or anxious. Take note how you feel this week until the Full Moon on July 3rd.

Personally, I am pretty motivated at the moment. A lot of ideas brew for me during this phase, sometimes it can get overwhelming! The Waxing Moon is a great phase to tackle projects you want to get done, and plan for any new ventures and goals you may have. So get creating!

You may want to start a Moon journal to track your journey with following your own Moon :)

How do you feel during this Waxing Moon, dear souls?

Love and Blessings,
