Inspired Living Series- Carolan Deacon

Hey Inspiring Souls!

I am SO excited to bring this new series to life. Inspired Living, this will be a new 2x a month guest post series that brings some great people to you. This series will cover all sorts of things from Inspiration, DIY, Creativity, Personal Growth and all sorts of other stuff!

The very first guest for this series is a truly talented, kind and wonderful Soul. Carolan Deacon. I met her (virtually)  in an online and have felt connected ever since. I was instantly drawn in by her amazing music and message and sweet soul.

And now onto getting to know her…

I used to wake up anxious. Immediately upon waking, my mind would start the looping worry thoughts, the fear, the powerless feelings and the anxiety.

I felt at the mercy of my own head with nowhere to escape to because I could not control the panic attacks and I could not control the obsessive worry and sense of impending doom that followed me everywhere.

Fast forward several years later and a lot of ‘trial and error’ and here I am today: I am happy, focused and anxiety is nowhere on my radar.

How?

 “Affirmative music and Setting Specific Intentions for My Day.”        

As a professional performer and vocalist, music and performing had always taken center stage in my life but for a long time, I was unaware of the healing capacity of music and it’s unique ability to create new neural pathways and new thought patterns. Yep, it works.  Easily…

For me, when I was able to connect the memory-enhancing power of song with the power of intention; my life and my outlook shifted beautifully without me having to push or work at it.

I would like to share this very special music and wellness video with you.

Get comfortable, click play and enjoy two powerful healing modalities that will change your life.

Music and Intention- the song below “Intend” can be used as your wakeup call each morning to help you remember to set your intention before you get out of bed.

Noticing.. Mindfulness

Hey Inspiring Souls!

I meant to write this post last week, but I did not , it was still brewing..  So I will spew it out as best I can today, migraine and all!

I love music I find it really powerful and I am fairly mindful of what type of music, well the messages the music I listen to has.  Seeking out some new songs lead me to a few songs that I had a strong reaction to one particular song..( and I will share it with you.. )

That got me thinking more about mindfulness and  how that ties into noticing… As some of you may know my word and goal for this year is to listen ( to my life, my body, those around me, inner guidance etc) Sort of along the same lines I am starting to notice more things. Notice my reaction to things, emotions, good and bad.

I am not suggesting you analyze everything to death, I am saying that just take some time to notice your reactions and emotions to things. And jot it down in your journal, just even a note or two. Think about why you are reacting in that way.  This will make you more mindful in general but it will also help you tap into the messages your life is giving you.

So that is what I am doing.. Here is the song that brought that to the surface more, it made me get emotional, teary eyed. And I realized that I want to be able to think of some of these words as true for me. I want to dream bigger and not play it so safe anymore.( more on that in another post)

How about you, do you notice your reactions to certain, music, people, foods?

Here is to living Inspired, Creative and Empowered
