I wanted to send you something special...  A little gift that’s been helping me feel calm, grounded, and reconnected lately.

But first, I want to be honest about where I’ve been.

Even after announcing that I was “back” on YouTube, I started feeling a bit of the same old pressures creeping in... pressure to create, to keep up, to stay consistent. For over a decade, I’ve actively lived in an online world that tells us we have to constantly show up to stay relevant. But along the way, I realized I was showing up for everyone but myself.

So I gave myself permission to pause.
To step back.
To not push through the burnout this time.

There’s been so much happening in the world and so much noise online. I found myself in a freeze state from taking it all in. I don't know about you, but when the world feels heavy, I tend to absorb it, and this time I decided to take care of myself instead of freezing and feeling helpless. To care for the only thing I truly have control over... my own energy, so that's been my number one priority over the last couple of months.

If you’ve been feeling the same way... a little drained, overwhelmed, or you're just ready for a change in your life, please know you’re not alone.

I’ve re-learned that taking care of ourselves is one of the most powerful things we can do for the world. When we’re running on empty, we can’t pour into anyone or anything else very well.

So lately, I’ve been getting back to the basics. The practices that changed my life in the first place.

My mornings have been slower and more intentional again... journaling, reading, meditating/visualizing. I even started taking myself through my own program, The Next Level Life Manifestation Accelerator, the program I used to guide my clients through.

And it’s wild… it's like the grounded, inspired version of me from several years ago is guiding me back to myself again.

Sometimes when we want to create change but don’t have the mental space to figure out how, having someone guide you, step-by-step, telling you exactly what to do makes all the difference.

Even on the mornings when I don’t have much time, I make sure to meditate because it’s the thing that shifts my entire energy. For a while, I would search YouTube for new meditations, but nothing made me feel anything or kept my attention to really follow along. So I went back to the ones I created for my clients... those were the ones that actually help me feel something and truly shifted my energy.

And because they’ve been helping me so much lately, I want to share one of them with you... a free Energetic Alignment Meditation 

It’s a short but powerful, manifestation meditation, perfect for those moments when you want to shift your energy or just come back to yourself again.

If life’s been feeling like a lot lately or you're finally feeling ready for a change, I hope this helps you soften back into yourself too.

I’ll be sending out daily emails this week sharing the tools, practices, and freebies that have been helping me feel aligned again, little reminders of how much power we get back when we take care of our energy first, so make sure to check for my emails daily.

It feels good to finally feel good to be back 

With love,
Annie
