Today I share a small but powerful lesson:I kept clicking the wrong button while working on my newsletter, and I got frustrated—until I realized my water bottle was blocking the correct button on my screen. Once I moved it, everything was easy. I use this as a reminder that answers can be right in front of me, but I might not see them because something is in the way—like feeling ungrounded, taking on other people’s emotions, holding unprocessed feelings, feeling stuck in grief, or having blocked or unbalanced energy.I also talk about how fear and beliefs can block clarity,and I guide you through a simple breathing exercise to help notice what’s in the way, get grounded and shielded, and “move” what you can so your next step feels clearer.
