Morning Mash-ups – How to trust yourself

Morning Mashup – How to trust yourself

Morning mash-ups start with me usually not knowing what I am going to talk about, just like this one.  I try to relax and allow myself to receive whatever it is I need to write about or share and then just let it flow.  With that being said, let’s talk about allowing, trusting, and breathing.  How to trust  yourself – If we can get out of our way, it begins to be much easier to trust our inner guidance system.  We can tap in to what we feel our higher self is giving us.  Most of the time what holds us back is not knowing step two and three.   However, if you have let go and you are trusting your inner guidance, all you have to do is start.

 

Do not wait for someone else to do it for you, do not wait for someone else to give you their blessing, and do not wait until the time is right!  The time is never right, there can always be more preparations and more thought put into everything; but, at the same time, thought can take over and bring in fear and worry.

I have given you guys some of my breathing techniques here and there, but it is a great way to relax and let go.  Do it before you meditate, do it when you wake up, do it before you pray!   Let go of what you think you have to do and tap in to what you feel you are called to do.  Your calling will make you happy, which is one of the greatest ways to feel if you are on the right track.  It should feel good!

Pain is Gain

I know, what about “pain is gain” and all that shit?!  Pain can be helpful in so many ways, and sometimes you do have to push through that pain; but, when it comes to your outlook towards your goals and life, it should not be pain.  You should feel excited about life, you should want to push yourself.  If you don’t feel this way, maybe you have already pushed yourself in an industry or job that wasn’t meant for you; and, it doesn’t matter how much pain you put yourself through, it just isn’t for you.  Sometimes our inner guidance is telling us that we just don’t vibe with that goal.  So relax, tap in, and allow your inner guidance, your guardian angel, your source to lead you on a path that feels good.    🙂 Thank me later..

 

Trusting yourself is always about owning your power.  Feel free to check out the blog Owning your power to learn more.

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best frien Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best friend, and ride or die—though hopefully it never comes to that 🤷🏻‍♂️.

15 years ago today, we said “I do.” Michelle’s came out more like a question, but in her defense, our priest had a speech impediment.

Life isn’t always what you expect. It can get hard. But when you’ve got someone you love and trust by your side, nothing life throws at you really matters.

Every bit of pain or pleasure is better with you next to me. I love you, Mich. And I look forward to every tomorrow with you and our little psycho ❤️❤️❤️

No. You don’t have to have acting class to succ No.  You don’t have to have acting class to succeed….. BUT…. Acting class isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s where you sharpen your craft, learn a shared vocabulary, and build skills to speak the same language as your peers. Even if you think you don’t need it, having a strong foundation ensures you’re ready to bring your best to any role. 🎭✨ Let’s keep growing together!

AI is getting scary good. But here’s the thing — we already couldn’t tell what was real. Now it’s about to get even messier.
Be cautious. Don’t send money just because a voice or face looks familiar. Don’t trust every headline. Don’t click every link.
The world’s about to get wacky — keep your eyes open and your instincts sharper. 🧠⚡️
