Those songs literally, ugh! I can’t even put into words what those songs do to me. Honestly, I spend all my days from when I wake up to when I fall asleep, this playlist is always playing. Okay, I listen to other songs obviously but these ugh! I’m going to make it a point to get all of these artists on vinyl soon. Imagine how good these freaking songs would sound on vinyl! I haven’t bought any in so long and I really didn’t realize how sad I was over that. This is such a first world problem but nonetheless, we all deserve to do what makes us happy!
I’ve been really working on myself lately. I’m always working on myself but this has been a little more focused because I am so freaking determined to let all my past traumas go because I know only positive things can come from releasing the old. I literally get to spend my birthday in SoCal and Monterrey with my friends and honestly, I am just so overjoyed. I’m certain that you can feel the positivity that is radiating from me through the words you are reading right now. My best friend already told me one of my gifts and I can only imagine how much more crying I’ll be doing when I actually receive it. My love language is words of affirmations but I’m pretty sure acts of service is my new love language now that I have learned how to receive and how good it feels to openly do so.
Anyways, I just wanted to come on here and share my little progress because it really is not easy to change one’s behaviors and old thought processes. I’ve had to release subconscious thoughts and feelings which isn’t easy at all! But the best thing to do in that situation is to meditate and listen to your higher self. Hmm, what else have I been doing? Spending my days with my pets because they really ground me. Reading! Cooking. Journaling. Yard work (contrary to what some people might think, I can actually get dirty and do physical work lol). Manifesting. Praying (not the person to be on my knees. I’m just like “hey universeeeee. It’s me, Alexis, again”). Planning. Setting goals. Self-care. I’m pretty hormonal right now so I’ve been really trying to take care of my cranky skin. Heal my inner child because that little girl really has no self-worth.
One thing I would say that was a little hard to swallow was just the fact that my inner child was so damaged that I really do have to tell myself positive mantras and affirmations a million times a day. I have to tell myself that I am more than enough. I deserve love and happiness. I deserve to take care of myself. What I am feeling is valid and I deserve to heal from my past. I just want to coddle my inner-child and tell her things will be okay. And well I do that by caring for myself because!!! At the end of the day, the only person we can count on is ourselves. Also, I would like to say, please heal and connect to your inner child if you haven’t already because child us is who we are at our core. And we tend to lose ourselves throughout time because of all other people’s ideas and values being pushed upon us.
OH YEAH! I got a freaking car wash the other day and that made me really happy lol. Give your car a little TLC y’all. My little Mach 5 is a happy girl now.
P.s. Shark week is next month!! Woo hoo!
