Hello, beautiful friends, it's Katie, and welcome to another Monday motivation. We are coming up on the close of February, and goodness gracious, it has been quite an intense month for me and possibly for you too. If you saw my email last week, I had a series of crazy experiences that really slowed me down over the last few weeks, I had a cold that just wouldn't quit, that really stuck with me for, oh, almost four weeks, which was incredibly frustrating. And then there was, of course, the police stakeout next door, which was one of the more challenging experiences that I ran into over the last few weeks, and interestingly, I just sort of came upon this information from astrologers that we had Mars in retrograde, and Mars has just gone direct.
And what that means is Mars was really slowing us down in terms of our moving forward, our momentum, our clarity and so things that maybe you wanted to work out weren't necessarily going according to plan. Maybe you were feeling agitated or held back in some way detours. Maybe like me, you were struggling with sickness. I don't know. Maybe you also had a police stakeout on your street, but I just want to remind you that a lot of times those things happen, and when it happens, it can feel really awful and stinky, and I'm not going to sugar coat it and say everything's a gift, and it's wonderful when you get asked to slow down, but I do want you to recognize the emotional underbelly of what that does.
And basically what ends up happening is when you experience sort of challenges like that, roadblocks, obstacles. What I found is that it really puts a spotlight on the things that are going on internally, on a deeper level. And what I mean by that is you feel the friction, right? You feel the sort of internal wheels turning, and it's actually a really great time for you to better understand where your resistance might be coming from, to do some deep clearing and releasing. And that's one of the things that I found personally. It's a really beautiful experience for because as much as I don't like feeling like things are going my way and feeling like things aren't happening as quickly as I want like I don't love that either, but what it does is it gives me an opportunity to take take a deeper look at sort of, you know, who I am and how I want my life to feel going forward, and the grinding of the gear, so to speak, the sort of slowing down of momentum does give you an opportunity to look at that.
And so this something that I've been taking away from it, and it's something I invite you to take away from it as well, and also just take a moment to look at what came out of any of the experiences you had in the last few weeks that felt frustrating or like a detour or slowing down. Maybe you got sick, maybe you had an argument, and decide what you want to do next, right? So decide what you want to do with this information. I think one of the most important things that I'm noticing as I continue to work with people and sort of guide people on this path to empowerment and transformation is that we have to be fully present and aware of the choices we're making if we really want the changes to stick. And what I mean by that is that you can't just ask for something once and expect it to fully take hold.
I think there's a lot of misinformation out there, misleading stories about I just thought, thought about it, and it manifested. Or, you know, I just set the intention, then all of a sudden it was there. I do think that's a possibility, but it also takes dedication and devotion and practice and ritual, and you have to be willing to put in the work to really see the results. And a lot of times, we're just not told that, you know, we're basically led to believe that things are supposed to happen in the snap of of your fingers, and that's the microwave age, right? The instant gratification. And the dangerous thing about that is it will keep you stuck in the loops of suffering, because if it doesn't happen fast enough, if you don't see the results. Quick enough, it sort of keeps you stuck in that loop of not believing or feeling frustrated, and this is where patience and practice is really going to come into play.
So we're heading into another new moon. We've got a new moon coming up towards the end of this week, and new moons are often about planting seeds, right? So setting the stage for what you want to do next, what you want to have happen next, and between this Mars Retrograde now going direct in this new moon, it's a really wonderful opportunity for you to root into who you are and what you want to have happen next. And I often ask people this in conversations, coaching, calls, workshops, one of the most important things is for us to really take conscious control of our lives, our thoughts, our feelings and our emotions. So even when you're triggered, right? So even when something sort of kicks up the dust of your past. That doesn't mean that you're going in the wrong direction.
It just means that it's kicking up the dust from your past. And it's up to you to choose how you're going to respond to that. So everything we've been experiencing energetically, maybe in your life, things like I was feeling sick, these obstacles. It doesn't mean that you're doing anything wrong. It doesn't mean that you're going in the wrong direction. What it means is that there's dust right? There's remnants of the person you used to be and the experiences that you have struggled with, and you're also in a state of expansion at the same time.
So it's up to you to choose how to respond to that. You can go back and you can try again, right? Like you can start over. You can buy into the belief that just because it's not working out fast enough, or just because something from the past is showing up, that you're not going to get what you want, or you know, you're not going to be happy, and that's going to loop you back in. It's going to start you all over again, right? It's going to cause you to recreate the saga one more time. Or you can stay alert, you can stay present, and you can choose to create something next. So as we move through this week, I want to invite you to start to think about this for yourself, your life. How am I responding to the chaos, the confusion, the stuff that really grinds your gears. Are you buying into it, or are you choosing to move forward? Are you choosing to respond differently?
Are you choosing to, you know, do something else? Because every time you do that, you take one step towards the reality that you really want. And that's the goal of transformation, right? The goal of breaking a pattern and creating change is always choosing something new, choosing something different, choosing something that is in service to your growth. And that's how we update our nervous system. That's how we rewrite neural pathways. And that's really the name of the game right now. So if you can start to apply that to your life, you're gonna be in a much better position than someone who's just sort of waiting for a miracle to happen, right? That doesn't change anything. It just means you're waiting for a miracle to happen. But if you're consciously choosing how to respond and what you want, you're in a state of creation all the time, and that's a much more empowered state to be. So I think that's a great way to approach your life. You can start to apply it this week.
And also, if you're interested, we still have power sessions available. And so these power sessions, they're really amazing, 60 minute deep dive session to help you get the clarity you need to keep taking action. So if you're one of those people and you feel like you've been stuck in a rut. You're stuck in a cycle. The same stuff keeps happening to you, and you don't know why. That's what these power sessions are for, right? It's 60 minutes for you and I to get to the root of what's really going on and then give you the tools and the awareness to consciously choose what you want to have happen next.
So sometimes we can't do it on our own. That's why I'm here, because I can help you see on a deeper level what's really going on, and I can also teach you how to consciously choose what it is that you want. And we do that through embodiment. We do that through somatics. We do that through neuroplasticity. And when you have those tools, what it means is that now you have a set of exercises, you have a set of rituals, you have a set of practices that you can apply, and then you're equipped for living your life in an empowered way.
And it's the difference between trying to figure out on your own and staying stuck, or having someone like myself who can really help you understand what's going on and give you the information, give you the tools and give you the sort of the the the insights and the energetic practices that you need to get yourself out of that pattern, out of that groove, out of that rut and moving forward. So if you're interested, you can book a session. They are still $200 instead of $500 they're a special you. You have them this week, they're available.
Please. If you're interested, go grab one of those sessions, and let's make this transformation. Let's make this growth a reality for you. Don't wait. Grab control of your life. Get in the driver's seat, and I will support you fully in making that shift. And you're gonna love it. You'll feel so much more confident and clear and excited about your future. When you do one of these power sessions, they're they're wonderful, loads of testimonials.
