We’d love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!
There is one sneaky little energetic pattern that might be slowing your manifesting momentum: indecision. Or maybe you've said yes, but you felt not 100% "in it".
All the affirmations and vision boards in the world can't override a lack of full-hearted commitment.
In this episode, we're exploring the truth that you just can't manifest from maybe. That half-in, half-out energy? It's not doing you any favors. That energy sends mixed signals to the Universe—and your Spirit Guides. :/
We’ll talk about the importance of clarity AND commitment, so you can avoid limbo. You’ll hear why hesitation is often a protective mechanism and how to shift into confident alignment without pushing or forcing.
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of hoping, wishing, waiting—and you’re ready to really receive what your soul has been calling in— listen in , so you can find your way into higher alignment.

Christina Wooten (00:27):
there, kindred spirits. Welcome to Modern Life
and Spirit Podcast. I'mChristina Wooten, certified
psychic medium atSedonaMedium.com Welcome to our
episode today. How is your weekgoing so far? I know we've had a
lot of things shifting around.
In the month of June. We havenew revelations coming forward,
with this new energy coming inJuly, which I think we're all
(00:51):
welcoming. We're excited forsome deeper level of healing. On
the personal level, I thinkwe're we're seeking that. I've
definitely noticed a lot ofshifting on deeper layers, which
I am so welcoming into liferight now. But I thought I would
share with you one of thoselittle inner child joys that
(01:12):
just came up for me recently. Itjust makes me smile. I don't
know if you can hear it, but itjust like I'm beaming. My whole
face is a big smile right now.
And it's, it's one of thosesilly things, but it just
connects with that inner child.
So I, as a kid, loved the CareBears, like loved, and maybe I
(01:32):
should be more specific, lovethe Care Bears, but Cheer Bear
was definitely my favorite, theone the pink one with the little
rainbow on the tummy. And mybirthday cakes, even for a few
years, were shaped like CheerBear. I mean, it was really
pretty epic, thanks to mom. Andthis week, I stumbled across
(01:54):
something weird that is bringingme great, great joy, and that is
the discovery that there areCare Bear band aids.
They are actually shaped likethe Care Bears. The individual
ones they've got like their cutelittle tummies. It's in full
color. I ordered themimmediately, without a second
(02:17):
thought. And now this isstrange, but I'm just realizing,
as I'm saying this, that I'mweirdly kind of waiting around
for the good excuse so I can useone of these band aids that I
have because they are so darncute, and they made me smile so
much. Anyway, probably not theenergy that I want to put out
there, but it made me smile thisweek. I hope that you are giving
(02:38):
yourself some little silly,frivolous joys. Also today, we
are going to be talking aboutthe power of your Yes, and how
that impacts the way that energyflows into or around our lives,
depending on what's going on.
Want you to think about ifyou've ever had this experience
where you've been dragging yourfeet on something, and the
(03:02):
moment that you finally decide,like you lock it in your mind,
you make it official, where youcan feel the shift that happens
from that. And the next thingyou know, just suddenly that the
energy changes, you start to getall of this instant affirmation
from the universe. So maybe youwrestled with starting something
(03:25):
new, with moving, with sayingyes to a different kind of
healing path. But when youcommitted, when you really said
yes, you fully locked it in, younotice clients start booking, or
synchronicities started poppingup, or things just started
really flowing for you. That'sthe kind of commitment that
(03:49):
we're talking about. And at thesame time, kind of on the other
end of the spectrum, you'venoticed how things that you're
maybe half hearted committed tojust never come into fruition.
They Something about it justdoesn't ever carry that juice or
that traction, because you saidyes, but your energy maybe it
(04:11):
said a different story. It toldthe truth that you never really
had the true intention to followthrough, to make the shifts, to
make the changes, or to takethat path further right, our
energy is always speaking forus, and so we see from that the
power and the importance of ourtrue level of commitment when we
(04:36):
say yes to something. I hear alot of people talk about
clarity, but clarity reallymeans very little. Without
having commitment, you can haveall the clarity in the world,
but if you don't follow throughwith committing, if you don't.
(04:57):
Take that next step, you itdoesn't matter. Doesn't mean
anything. There is an energeticshift that happens when we stop
just dabbling and kind ofplaying in things and really
deeply say yes and say yes towhat that means, the change and
the shifts that it means. And itdoesn't mean that we have to
(05:20):
know the whole plan. It justmeans that we're allowing our
energy to start to flow and moveinto that direction. Right
commitment carries with it aenergetic weight that the
universe and our guides and oursoul really respond to. It
anchors our energy into aspecific direction, so it brings
(05:43):
things down into the rootchakra. And the Root Chakra
really drives us forward intoour identity and how we are
expressing that out in theworld. When we make decisions,
when we make choices, we committo something, it begins to move
energy in that area of the body.
(06:04):
And the lower chakras are whathelps us bring things into form,
bring things into physical form.
So a commitment, when weenergetically commit to
something and we give it ourfull Yes, it starts to implant
that energy into the rootchakra, and that is what
triggers all of this shift thatyou see, your guides, your
(06:25):
intuition in the universerespond to that signal. So think
about it, you know, you're arocket on a launch pad. All the
systems are ready, ready to go.
Spirit is standing by. Yourguides are ready. But until you
hit that go for launch, redbutton that's there, nothing
(06:49):
moves. Commitment is the finalkey that tells your guides, that
tells everything to start toshift, that you're ready. It's
like, that's the let's go signalso you move from the launch pad
to things firing up, and itactually moving forward before
that time until you commit yourenergy is, you know, very
(07:12):
scattered. No matter how muchyou think about it, it stays in
the realm of thought, and itdoesn't engage those lower
chakras, which are what help tobring things into form. And I
know that you have seen ithappen in your life, those
things that you, on some level,didn't really want just kind of,
(07:34):
you know, have a tendency tofall apart. Maybe you said, Yes,
I will do XYZ, but you reallyjust didn't want to, and you
didn't put the energy in, andnothing really shifted as a
result. And you know nothinghappened from it, right? And
then there are those times whereyou feel this really strong
driving force, yes, and it justopens doors around you. We know
(07:58):
that commitment is like thejuice or the gas that gets
things moving and going. But alot of people just find
themselves staying in that noncommittal zone, like trying to
be responsive to life ratherthan leading and moving forward,
because that's more comfortable.
Maybe it's a fear of being wrongor a fear of the consequences of
(08:22):
the actions that you're taking.
It can be, you know, you'redoing something out of
obligation and you're not reallywanting to do it, so you never
fully commit to doing it. It canbe perfectionism, I know that
comes up all the time where youjust want to have it all figured
(08:43):
out first. So if I just take onemore course, if I just create
one more spreadsheet, etc, etc,then I will feel secure. But of
course, you know, we neverreally get there right to that
full sense of security, becausewe know that there's there's no
guarantees, right? There's noguarantees to what those
outcomes can look like, so thedelay just kind of continues and
(09:06):
continues and continues. There'speople pleasing, you know, what
if? What if other people don'tunderstand, or what if my
partner isn't supportive, orwhat if my boss isn't going to
give me that extra time thatthat needs. It's like sometimes
we start to say no to ourselves,as if we're acting like the
(09:27):
universe, not even asking fullyfor what it is that we want.
We're just envisioning thatwe're going to get that no
right, and then envisioning howwe need to massage and finesse
and people please, to get whatit is that maybe you're looking
for. But it's so important notto pre say no to yourself, you
(09:48):
hold your role right, that otherperson can hold their
responsibilities in their role.
You don't have to hold all ofthat at one time. One
perspective is enough. There canbe past. Disappointments or
trauma around failure orabandonment. There's so many
reasons that kind of keep us inthat in between place.
(10:08):
Committing to something isscary. Making a decision can be
scary. It requires a lot oftrust. It requires trust in
ourselves, in our capabilities,in our intuition that our
feelings are really guiding usin the right direction. It
requires a huge amount of trustin the universe to deliver those
resources that we need to pullit all together. We all spend
(10:32):
too much time hanging out on thefence. So there's nothing wrong
if you're kind of a perpetualfence sitter. Sometimes, you
know, we're in that mode ofgathering data, but at some
point, staying in that limbostate becomes a real drain. You
can end up staying in Old Energyfor far too long. You can end up
in that transitional kind ofpurgatory place where everything
(10:56):
feels stale and you just startgetting more and more sick and
tired of the same old stuff.
We've all been there wheresecretly you're abdicating your
power in the back of your mind.
You're thinking that I'll be ledif I just kind of keep delaying
and keep waiting, that somehowthe universe is going to send me
(11:18):
this memo and I can just respondto it, and, you know, not be
afraid of the consequences. Butrarely does that happen. Rarely
does delay lead, you know,necessarily to the answer.
Usually we just end up deprivingourselves of our own life force
because we're not where we needto be. We're not doing what we
(11:41):
need to be doing, and as aresult, we've taken ourselves
out of the flow, out ofuniversal life force, energy.
We've fallen out of trust, andour energy starts to pull away,
until we change our course, andthat is not a fun place to be.
There's a huge shift thathappens when you really say yes
(12:02):
and you mean it, so you're inalignment on all levels of Yes,
I'm ready for this energy startsto flow to you. So all of that
energy you felt kind of deprivedof because you haven't been in
alignment, suddenly it'sreversed, and all that energy is
flowing back to you. There's ashift in your life force energy.
(12:24):
You're feeling more alive.
You're feeling more animated.
You're you can notice it in yourbody, because your chakras are
getting more energy, which inturn is helping to fuel your
physical body more you mightstart to see people and
resources show up, or start tosee synchronicities just
instantaneously coming in, anddecisions become a lot easier,
(12:48):
because now you're actually inthe flow. You aren't straddling
all the possibilities and tryingto hold space for you know,
every single one of thoseoptions, you've chosen a direct
path, so you shift from tryingto beginning to embody because
your energy is starting to speakthat language. So that feedback
that I'm talking about might beif a healer decides to fully own
(13:12):
their gift, so they finally say,I'm ready, I'm here. I'm going
to do it. I'm going to follow mycalling, even though I'm scared.
And suddenly referrals juststart flowing in. You know,
really, they didn't tweakanything outside. They didn't
change the website. They didn'tchange where their advertising,
(13:32):
they didn't change, you know,their business card. It was an
internal shift. And suddenlythings started showing up in a
different way, or maybe you aresaying yes to a relationship.
You finally committing tosomething, and the dynamic opens
up, it starts to deepen, and yousee big changes there. We get
(13:53):
that instantaneous sort offeedback that's responding to
what we're doing internally.
It's the internal energeticshift. And here's something that
I know I'm going to want toclear up in advance. Commitment
doesn't mean that you have tohave the full plan or know
(14:13):
exactly where it's going to takeyou, what's going to happen, how
this resource is going to comeinto play. That's not really
your job. Those steps will makethemselves known to you as you
move along the path. Thecommitment energetically is to
just take the next one. I'm openand I'm willing to explore what
(14:34):
this means for me, and this iswhere trust comes in. The how is
going to reveal itself after theYes. So energetically, you just
say, Yes, this is where I'mheaded. This is what I'm
committing to. Then you get theresponse about what that looks
like. That's where some of thosesynchronicities can come in.
(14:54):
That's where some of thoseresources can come in, where
people send you an email ormessage, hey. Say, I love to
talk to you about XYZ, andyou're thinking, perfect. I was
just looking for someone. I'veasked my guide several times,
you know, Okay, I'm ready forthis in my life. Can you please
send me someone who can helpwith XYZ? And it's been amazing
(15:17):
how quickly things will justshow up. You know, they're not
going to do all the work, right?
But suddenly the guidance comesin, and within, usually about a
week or so, I have somedirection there, so that can be
something. Make sure that youask your guides for help as
well. Once you've made thatcommitment and soul aligned
commitment, it feels steady inthe gut, right? Your mind might
(15:39):
be freaking out, a little bitnervous, still trying to figure
out the plan, nervous about howthose resources are going to
come forward. But inside,there's a calm and there's a
sense of direction, really, youmight feel that in your solar
plexus too. So here's what Iwant you to think about, just
right now. I want you to seewhat comes up intuitively. We
(16:02):
want to kind of get out of thebrain a little bit, kind of take
some deep breaths, set the tonehere, and
I want you to see what comes upin response to this question. So
what are you led to? Where areyou drawn? A lot of times we
know the answer instinctively,so we're just going to allow
(16:23):
that to reveal itself or to comeforward. Where in your life are
you half in and half out?
Just pick one area where you'vejust maybe been on the fence, or
(16:44):
you've been kind of circlingover and over and over again,
you haven't made a decision.
Where are you half in and halfout? You
now, once you know what area oflife that's impacting you the
(17:07):
most, you probably know why it'sbeen hard for you to make this
decision, or why you've beenkind of, you know, sitting
around and not followingthrough, and maybe why you're
listening to this podcast today,right? It's so important to to
really put faith and trust inour soul, that our soul knows
(17:30):
the way when you commit totruth, when you commit to what
is real for you, that is goingto be supported, and that's
really the only thing that'sbeing supported, right? Because
you can say yes to someone, andinternally you're really saying
no, and the universe is going torespond to that. It's going to
(17:51):
respond to that no, that you'regiving out, even though you said
yes, it's going to know thatthat isn't authentic for you. So
your truth is going to besupported Now, if you're
struggling because you've beencircling for a really long time,
one of the things that hasreally worked for me in the past
is the word willingness. So I'llsay something like, I'm willing
(18:14):
to see this decision in a wholenew light, or I'm willing to see
this decision from spirit'seyes, or I'm willing to shift
this energy in a positive way.
And really mean that you don'thave to, you know, know exactly
what that means, but mean thatyou're willing to see it shift
in a positive way, and you'll beamazed at how things do start to
(18:37):
move, you'll have new insights.
Awakenings will come forward.
Sometimes. For people who have alot of intuitive messages and
dreams, you might get somemessages in your dreams as well.
So really pay attention tothose. When you start asking
those types of questions, buttelling yourself and letting you
know, I'm willing to change mymind about this, I'm willing to
(18:59):
see the truth of the situationthat starts to get things
moving. If you've been feelingreally resistant, and if you're
scared of commitment, and whatthat means, or feeling like you
know somehow commitment maybetakes you out of the flow. Just
remember, commitment isn't thatyou're locking yourself into a
(19:20):
prison. You are always allowedto choose again, but sometimes
the only way to really knowsomething is to commit to it, to
try it on, to see how it feelsto really be in it. That's how
you build trust with yourselfand your path. That's how you
understand something. That's howwe grow. You can always shift
(19:41):
change and respond to the energythat's being presented to you.
You're infinitely supported.
Your Spirit guides are alwaysstanding by. They're ready to
help. They're gonna help you getto that next chapter. Okay? But
here's the thing. The universeresponds to clarity, and
(20:03):
anything less than a full bodyYes, it reads as a no, and
you'll be supported in that alsoright spirit is never going to
force you. But when you say yes,when you truly say yes to
something aligned, the supportrushes in. The doors open, the
(20:23):
energy flows, the life forcecomes back. Your guides cheer.
They want so much to see youliving fully, to explore the
gifts that you've been given,and to create a life that really
reflects the energy of your souland the beauty of your soul. So
(20:44):
maybe this here is your pushfrom the spirit world that says
it's time, it's time to makethat decision on something that
you've been dragging your feeton and don't settle for the I'm
just going to say yes because Ifeel like I'm supposed to say
yes, or now is the time that I'msupposed to make this decision,
really keep searching until youfind that true, yes, within
(21:08):
yourself, because the settlingit, you know, doesn't do
anything for you. It's notreally going to help you. You're
not going to manifest based onit. You know, the opportunities
are not going to come. You'renot really shifting any energy
with a fake Yes. So wait foryour true aligned, yes, but keep
exploring to find it. Allowyourself to ask the important
(21:28):
questions, to do new things, totry new things. If you've been
trying certain things andthey're not working, try new
things. Keep bringing new energyin welcome new perspective that
is going to help you as well, tobe able to get out of that rut,
to get out of some of thatresistance, and move forward
(21:49):
with your yes, I'm wishing youclarity and commitment and love
and support and compassion foryourself, for where you have
been, maybe dragging your feet alittle bit, but I know that it's
time for some fresh energy. Iknow that it's time for that
life force to come back intoyour life, for you to feel that
(22:10):
uplifting energy that you'veneeded, and I'm excited to see
how that manifests for you. Muchlove, many blessings. The

comes up all the time where youjust want to have it all figured
(08:43):
out first. So if I just take onemore course, if I just create
one more spreadsheet, etc, etc,then I will feel secure. But of
course, you know, we neverreally get there right to that
full sense of security, becausewe know that there's there's no
guarantees, right? There's noguarantees to what those
outcomes can look like, so thedelay just kind of continues and
(09:06):
continues and continues. There'speople pleasing, you know, what
if? What if other people don'tunderstand, or what if my
partner isn't supportive, orwhat if my boss isn't going to
give me that extra time thatthat needs. It's like sometimes
we start to say no to ourselves,as if we're acting like the
(09:27):
universe, not even asking fullyfor what it is that we want.
We're just envisioning thatwe're going to get that no
right, and then envisioning howwe need to massage and finesse
and people please, to get whatit is that maybe you're looking
for. But it's so important notto pre say no to yourself, you
(09:48):
hold your role right, that otherperson can hold their
responsibilities in their role.
You don't have to hold all ofthat at one time. One
perspective is enough. There canbe past. Disappointments or
trauma around failure orabandonment. There's so many
reasons that kind of keep us inthat in between place.
(10:08):
Committing to something isscary. Making a decision can be
scary. It requires a lot oftrust. It requires trust in
ourselves, in our capabilities,in our intuition that our
feelings are really guiding usin the right direction. It
requires a huge amount of trustin the universe to deliver those
resources that we need to pullit all together. We all spend
(10:32):
too much time hanging out on thefence. So there's nothing wrong
if you're kind of a perpetualfence sitter. Sometimes, you
know, we're in that mode ofgathering data, but at some
point, staying in that limbostate becomes a real drain. You
can end up staying in Old Energyfor far too long. You can end up
in that transitional kind ofpurgatory place where everything
(10:56):
feels stale and you just startgetting more and more sick and
tired of the same old stuff.
We've all been there wheresecretly you're abdicating your
power in the back of your mind.
You're thinking that I'll be ledif I just kind of keep delaying
and keep waiting, that somehowthe universe is going to send me
(11:18):
this memo and I can just respondto it, and, you know, not be
afraid of the consequences. Butrarely does that happen. Rarely
does delay lead, you know,necessarily to the answer.
Usually we just end up deprivingourselves of our own life force
because we're not where we needto be. We're not doing what we
(11:41):
need to be doing, and as aresult, we've taken ourselves
out of the flow, out ofuniversal life force, energy.
We've fallen out of trust, andour energy starts to pull away,
until we change our course, andthat is not a fun place to be.
There's a huge shift thathappens when you really say yes
(12:02):
and you mean it, so you're inalignment on all levels of Yes,
I'm ready for this energy startsto flow to you. So all of that
energy you felt kind of deprivedof because you haven't been in
alignment, suddenly it'sreversed, and all that energy is
flowing back to you. There's ashift in your life force energy.
(12:24):
You're feeling more alive.
You're feeling more animated.
You're you can notice it in yourbody, because your chakras are
getting more energy, which inturn is helping to fuel your
physical body more you mightstart to see people and
resources show up, or start tosee synchronicities just
instantaneously coming in, anddecisions become a lot easier,
(12:48):
because now you're actually inthe flow. You aren't straddling
all the possibilities and tryingto hold space for you know,
every single one of thoseoptions, you've chosen a direct
path, so you shift from tryingto beginning to embody because
your energy is starting to speakthat language. So that feedback
that I'm talking about might beif a healer decides to fully own
(13:12):
their gift, so they finally say,I'm ready, I'm here. I'm going
to do it. I'm going to follow mycalling, even though I'm scared.
And suddenly referrals juststart flowing in. You know,
really, they didn't tweakanything outside. They didn't
change the website. They didn'tchange where their advertising,
(13:32):
they didn't change, you know,their business card. It was an
internal shift. And suddenlythings started showing up in a
different way, or maybe you aresaying yes to a relationship.
You finally committing tosomething, and the dynamic opens
up, it starts to deepen, and yousee big changes there. We get
(13:53):
that instantaneous sort offeedback that's responding to
what we're doing internally.
It's the internal energeticshift. And here's something that
I know I'm going to want toclear up in advance. Commitment
doesn't mean that you have tohave the full plan or know
(14:13):
exactly where it's going to takeyou, what's going to happen, how
this resource is going to comeinto play. That's not really
your job. Those steps will makethemselves known to you as you
move along the path. Thecommitment energetically is to
just take the next one. I'm openand I'm willing to explore what
(14:34):
this means for me, and this iswhere trust comes in. The how is
going to reveal itself after theYes. So energetically, you just
say, Yes, this is where I'mheaded. This is what I'm
committing to. Then you get theresponse about what that looks
like. That's where some of thosesynchronicities can come in.
(14:54):
That's where some of thoseresources can come in, where
people send you an email ormessage, hey. Say, I love to
talk to you about XYZ, andyou're thinking, perfect. I was
just looking for someone. I'veasked my guide several times,
you know, Okay, I'm ready forthis in my life. Can you please
send me someone who can helpwith XYZ? And it's been amazing
(15:17):
how quickly things will justshow up. You know, they're not
going to do all the work, right?
But suddenly the guidance comesin, and within, usually about a
week or so, I have somedirection there, so that can be
something. Make sure that youask your guides for help as
well. Once you've made thatcommitment and soul aligned
commitment, it feels steady inthe gut, right? Your mind might
(15:39):
be freaking out, a little bitnervous, still trying to figure
out the plan, nervous about howthose resources are going to
come forward. But inside,there's a calm and there's a
sense of direction, really, youmight feel that in your solar
plexus too. So here's what Iwant you to think about, just
right now. I want you to seewhat comes up intuitively. We
(16:02):
want to kind of get out of thebrain a little bit, kind of take
some deep breaths, set the tonehere, and
I want you to see what comes upin response to this question. So
what are you led to? Where areyou drawn? A lot of times we
know the answer instinctively,so we're just going to allow
(16:23):
that to reveal itself or to comeforward. Where in your life are
you half in and half out?
Just pick one area where you'vejust maybe been on the fence, or
(16:44):
you've been kind of circlingover and over and over again,
you haven't made a decision.
Where are you half in and halfout? You
now, once you know what area oflife that's impacting you the
(17:07):
most, you probably know why it'sbeen hard for you to make this
decision, or why you've beenkind of, you know, sitting
around and not followingthrough, and maybe why you're
listening to this podcast today,right? It's so important to to
really put faith and trust inour soul, that our soul knows
(17:30):
the way when you commit totruth, when you commit to what
is real for you, that is goingto be supported, and that's
really the only thing that'sbeing supported, right? Because
you can say yes to someone, andinternally you're really saying
no, and the universe is going torespond to that. It's going to
(17:51):
respond to that no, that you'regiving out, even though you said
yes, it's going to know thatthat isn't authentic for you. So
your truth is going to besupported Now, if you're
struggling because you've beencircling for a really long time,
one of the things that hasreally worked for me in the past
is the word willingness. So I'llsay something like, I'm willing
(18:14):
to see this decision in a wholenew light, or I'm willing to see
this decision from spirit'seyes, or I'm willing to shift
this energy in a positive way.
And really mean that you don'thave to, you know, know exactly
what that means, but mean thatyou're willing to see it shift
in a positive way, and you'll beamazed at how things do start to
(18:37):
move, you'll have new insights.
Awakenings will come forward.
Sometimes. For people who have alot of intuitive messages and
dreams, you might get somemessages in your dreams as well.
So really pay attention tothose. When you start asking
those types of questions, buttelling yourself and letting you
know, I'm willing to change mymind about this, I'm willing to
(18:59):
see the truth of the situationthat starts to get things
moving. If you've been feelingreally resistant, and if you're
scared of commitment, and whatthat means, or feeling like you
know somehow commitment maybetakes you out of the flow. Just
remember, commitment isn't thatyou're locking yourself into a
(19:20):
prison. You are always allowedto choose again, but sometimes
the only way to really knowsomething is to commit to it, to
try it on, to see how it feelsto really be in it. That's how
you build trust with yourselfand your path. That's how you
understand something. That's howwe grow. You can always shift
(19:41):
change and respond to the energythat's being presented to you.
You're infinitely supported.
Your Spirit guides are alwaysstanding by. They're ready to
help. They're gonna help you getto that next chapter. Okay? But
here's the thing. The universeresponds to clarity, and
(20:03):
anything less than a full bodyYes, it reads as a no, and
you'll be supported in that alsoright spirit is never going to
force you. But when you say yes,when you truly say yes to
something aligned, the supportrushes in. The doors open, the
(20:23):
energy flows, the life forcecomes back. Your guides cheer.
They want so much to see youliving fully, to explore the
gifts that you've been given,and to create a life that really
reflects the energy of your souland the beauty of your soul. So
(20:44):
maybe this here is your pushfrom the spirit world that says
it's time, it's time to makethat decision on something that
you've been dragging your feeton and don't settle for the I'm
just going to say yes because Ifeel like I'm supposed to say
yes, or now is the time that I'msupposed to make this decision,
really keep searching until youfind that true, yes, within
(21:08):
yourself, because the settlingit, you know, doesn't do
anything for you. It's notreally going to help you. You're
not going to manifest based onit. You know, the opportunities
are not going to come. You'renot really shifting any energy
with a fake Yes. So wait foryour true aligned, yes, but keep
exploring to find it. Allowyourself to ask the important
(21:28):
questions, to do new things, totry new things. If you've been
trying certain things andthey're not working, try new
things. Keep bringing new energyin welcome new perspective that
is going to help you as well, tobe able to get out of that rut,
to get out of some of thatresistance, and move forward
(21:49):
with your yes, I'm wishing youclarity and commitment and love
and support and compassion foryourself, for where you have
been, maybe dragging your feet alittle bit, but I know that it's
time for some fresh energy. Iknow that it's time for that
life force to come back intoyour life, for you to feel that
(22:10):
uplifting energy that you'veneeded, and I'm excited to see
how that manifests for you. Muchlove, many blessings. The
