Help I'm stuck and need to get moving again!


Feeling stuck in life can be a frustrating and disheartening experience. It often arises when we feel like we're not making progress toward our goals or that we're trapped in a situation we don't want to be in. This can lead to feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and even depression. However, being stuck in life is a common experience, and there are ways to move forward. 

One way to start is by examining the reasons why you feel stuck. Is it because you're lacking direction, motivation, or resources? Once you understand the root cause of your situation, you can start to explore different ways to overcome it.

There are several ways to move forward when you feel stuck in life. One is to set new goals for yourself. This could involve redefining your priorities, exploring new interests, or pursuing a different career path. Another way to move forward is by seeking support from others. 

This could mean reaching out to friends or family for emotional support or seeking professional help from a therapist or coach. Additionally, taking action towards your goals, no matter how small, can also help you break out of feeling stuck. Remember, progress doesn't have to happen overnight, and it's okay to take things one step at a time. By staying committed and focused on your goals, you can begin to move forward and overcome the feeling of being stuck in life.

There are two types of mindset: growth and fixed. A growth mindset is a belief that abilities and skills can be developed through dedication and hard work. People with a growth mindset see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow and believe that failure is not a permanent setback but a chance to improve. 

On the other hand, a fixed mindset is the belief that abilities and skills are fixed and cannot be changed. People with a fixed mindset tend to avoid challenges, fear failure, and view it as a reflection of their inherent abilities. They tend to give up easily when faced with obstacles and do not see the value in taking risks or trying new things.

The main difference between a growth and a fixed mindset is that a growth mindset focuses on development and improvement, while a fixed mindset focuses on innate ability. People with a growth mindset are more likely to take on challenges, seek feedback, and embrace change, leading to a greater potential for success and personal growth. 

In contrast, people with a fixed mindset tend to have a more limited view of their potential and may miss out on opportunities for growth and development. By understanding the differences between these mindsets, individuals can take steps to cultivate a growth mindset and achieve their full potential.

Having a growth mindset means believing that you can improve and develop your skills and abilities through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. It's a mindset that encourages continuous learning and embraces challenges as opportunities for growth. People with a growth mindset understand that failure is not a permanent setback but a chance to learn and improve. 

They view setbacks and obstacles as challenges to be overcome rather than reasons to give up. With a growth mindset, individuals are more likely to take on new challenges, seek feedback, and embrace change. By adopting a growth mindset, people can achieve their full potential and create a more fulfilling and satisfying life for themselves.

Having a fixed mindset means believing that your skills, abilities, and intelligence are fixed and cannot be changed. People with a fixed mindset tend to avoid challenges, feel threatened by feedback or criticism, and give up easily when faced with obstacles. They see failure as a reflection of their inherent abilities and tend to view it as a personal weakness. 

This mindset can lead to a lack of motivation, decreased performance, and reduced potential for growth and development. Individuals with a fixed mindset may miss out on opportunities for learning and personal growth because they are not willing to take risks or try new things. By recognizing and challenging a fixed mindset, individuals can begin to shift their beliefs and behaviors towards a growth mindset, leading to increased motivation, resilience, and potential for success.

Here are five ways to change a fixed mindset:

  1. Embrace challenges: Instead of avoiding challenges, seek out opportunities to try new things and step outside of your comfort zone. This will help you develop a growth mindset and build resilience.
  2. Emphasize effort over ability: Focus on the effort you put in rather than the outcome. Recognize that hard work and dedication can lead to growth and improvement.
  3. Learn from criticism: Instead of feeling threatened by criticism, view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Seek feedback and use it to improve your skills and performance.
  4. Embrace learning: Develop a love of learning and a curiosity for new things. This will help you develop new skills and improve your abilities.
  5. Cultivate a positive mindset: Instead of dwelling on negative thoughts and feelings, cultivate a positive mindset. Practice gratitude, mindfulness, and self-compassion to help you develop a growth mindset and achieve your goals.

10 Tips About the First of the Five "C's"

Mindfulness takes consistency and effort........... Kate Penwarn Thompson



Recently I was thinking about how I could explain to my clients about mindfulness, and mindset, in a way that made more sense and that was also a visual tool. I originally came up with the three "C's" and then it expanded into Five "C's". 

So what are these five things that can help you begin to change your mindset around the things you don't want and believe that you can create the things that you do want. The first "C" stands for Cancel. Let me tell you a little more about that.

Here are 5 tips on canceling a negative thought
  1. Acknowledge the thought and remind yourself that it is only a thought, not a fact.
  2. Acknowledge your feeling and let it pass through. 
  3. Take a few deep breaths and focus on the present moment.
  4. Practice gratitude daily to help shift your mindset to a more positive one.
  5. Talk to a friend or family member about the thought and get their perspective.
So let's take the first step. To acknowledge the thought you have be aware of it, which is being mindful. So many thoughts come through your brain every day and are generally very familiar therefore making it difficult to acknowledge if you're not practicing mindfulness.

Here’s 5 tips to practice mindfulness
  1. Focus on your breath: Take a few moments to simply focus on your breath and the sensation of inhaling and exhaling.
  2. Take a mindful walk: When you take a walk, pay attention to the sights, smells, and sounds around you. Notice how your body moves and shifts with each step. 
  3. Enjoy the present moment: Take a few moments to appreciate the little things in life. Notice the beauty around you, the taste of your food, the warmth of the sun.
  4. Practice acceptance: Allow yourself to feel whatever emotions come up, and observe them without judgement.
  5. Set aside time for yourself: Dedicate some time each day to practice mindfulness. This could be as short as 10 minutes or as long as an hour.
Practicing these tips can help you to begin to CANCEL unwanted thoughts causing negative feelings that stop you from creating the things you desire. Learning to disrupt negative thoughts also increases your belief that you can achieve the desires of your heart.

Some essential Oils that help to increase awareness, lock in belief, and cancel negative thoughts are:  Clarity, Believe, Transformation, Inner Child, and my new favorite Inner Child.  You can go HERE to check out these oils from Young Living.

I have a whole online program that goes hand in hand with these principles. You can get a free guide HERE

Or you can jump to the program and check it out HERE!
I also have a few free consults available. If you struggle with moving forward, negative thoughts, or any combination, you can set up a free consult with me HERE!

10 Tips About the Law of Polarity

A winner is a dreamer who never gave up..........Nelson Mandela


Today we're going to talk about the 7the Law, the Law of Polarity. This law simply states that one is really two. 

What does the Law of Polarity mean?

The Law of Polarity states that everything in life has an opposite. This law can be applied to many different areas of life, from physical objects to feelings and emotions. It is a fundamental concept in many spiritual and metaphysical disciplines, and it suggests that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 

It also suggests that for every force, there is an opposing force, and for every expression of energy, there is an equal and opposite expression of energy. This law can help us to better understand the world around us and the interactions between people.

What are five things that tell us we are not practicing the law of polarity?
  1. Not taking responsibility for our actions and their consequences. 
  2. Not recognizing the positive potential in every situation. 
  3. Not recognizing that we have the power to create our own reality. 
  4. Not understanding that we are all connected and have an effect on each other. 
  5. Not understanding that we can create a better world by choosing kindness and understanding over hatred and judgment.
When we are not taking care of thoughts that create actions we don't desire we are operating in 'lack' and therefore cannot reach our full potential. When we are mindful of our thoughts and feelings our outcomes are way more successful.
We have the potential and power to create what we desire, not what we don't. 

When we understand we are all connected and we do have an effect on each other and ourselves when we are choosing kindness instead of hatred or judgment. Judgment has no place in our lives as it prevents us from moving into what God and the Universe have planned for us. "Judgment is mine, says the Lord." Romans 12: 19-21.


What are 5 tips to practice the Law of Polarity?
  1. Identify your polarity - Be aware of the two sides of any issue or situation and accept them both.
  2. Develop your understanding - Take time to explore and understand the two sides of any polarity.
  3. Practice non-judgment - Refrain from judging either side of the polarity.
  4. Act with intention - Make conscious decisions in how you interact with the two sides of the polarity.
  5. Find balance - Aim to bring balance to the two sides of the polarity and create harmony.
Here are a few opposites that can and will affect your life if you choose the negative side.

Balance vs insecurity. If you are not balanced you are not grounded and this will cause extremes in thinking, feeling, acting, and outcome.
Joy vs Sadness. Choosing joyfulness and encouraging positive energy in times of restlessness and feeling uneasy.
Hopeful vs Hopeless. When you lose hope you lose sight of your visions, goals, and dreams. Choosing hope will help you to reconnect with a feeling of strength and grounding, restoring hope for tomorrow.

Mindful vs Oblivious. Being mindful, and practicing mindfulness, creates awareness of your thinking and helps to change patterns of not heeding thoughts that lead to unwelcome outcomes. Choosing to be mindful leads you to manifest your desires and uplifts your belief that you can achieve them.

Clarity vs Vagueness. Having clarity around where you desire to be in your life will always give you insight, instead of feeling like you are in a fog unable to make clear and precise decisions.

Some of the essential oils I recommend here are a blend of Frankincense, Lavender, and Stress Away. The components in these three oils can bring balance and grounding which stops us from going to extremes. It will also increase spiritual awareness, promote prayer and meditation, improve attitude, and uplift spirits. Another oil here is Peace and Calming, which helps with emotions like fear of losing control.

Other oils you might like to try are Joy, which speaks for itself, and Into the Future which inspires determination and a pioneering spirit to create a strong emotional feeling of being able to reach one's potential. Hope can be used to move forward, and Transformation reaches into the deepest recesses of memories as it empowers and upholds changes you desire to make in your belief system.

10 Tips on applying The Law Of Detachment

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.” —Tony Robbins


Today's blog is about the Law of Detachment. This is the sixth law in the Universal laws and is so important. You see, in order to acquire anything in the physical Universe, you must relinquish your attachment to it. Thus, trust God totally for your desires at the perfect time.

When we apply this law we have the freedom to leave everything as is, and the freedom to participate without attachment to an idea, a solution, or a goal.
So what are some indications that we are holding on to our desires, or outcomes, and not letting them be in the hands of the Spirit?

What are five indications that we are holding on to our goals, dreams, and desires too tightly?
  1. You constantly think about it and ruminate on it at all times.
  2. You become frustrated and impatient when things don't happen as quickly as you'd like.
  3. You become inflexible and unwilling to consider other options.
  4. You become overly focused on the outcome rather than the process.
  5. You become so obsessed with it that it begins to affect your relationships and other areas of your life.
I'm sure you've experienced some of these five indications in life, and if you find that you are in the midst of one of these, there is hope and a way to change your outcome. When we constantly think about a specific desire and are controlling the outcome, we are limiting the flow of the Universe and God in the direction and result of our desire.

Focusing on the process or the steps that are needed to achieve your desire will leave the outcome unlimited, and may end up so much better than you originally dreamed. Think about how often you've had a desire that when you started along the journey, it opened up to something greater than you ever dreamed possible. When we leave the outcome to Spirit (God) it takes on a greater vision, one that we aren't capable of seeing in the beginning.

Here are 5 tips to apply the Law of Detachment
  1. Take time for self-reflection. Before applying the Law of Detachment, it's important to take time to reflect on your own behavior, emotions, and reactions. Ask yourself what is causing you to be attached to certain people, situations, or outcomes.
  2. Practice mindfulness. Mindfulness can help you be more aware of your thoughts and feelings in each moment, so you can better practice the Law of Detachment.
  3. Let go of expectations. The Law of Detachment is about releasing your expectations from a situation and allowing it to unfold naturally.
  4. Be grateful for what you have. Gratitude can help you put things into perspective and be thankful for the things you have instead of focusing on what you don't have.
  5. Don't be hard on yourself. Remember that it takes practice to learn how to detach and let go of things. Don't be too hard on yourself if you find it challenging at first.
While applying this law needs practice it is well worth being aware of it in your life. All of the seven laws do work together hand in hand and support us to create the life that we truly desire.
The first of the Essential Oils to help with this law is Valor, which instills courage, confidence, and self-esteem, as well as keeps your body in balance and alignment. Stress Away is a blend that brings a feeling of peace and tranquility and also helps to relieve daily stress. You can also use Citrus Fresh or other citrus oils as they stimulate the right brain to amplify creativity and well-being. These oils also are uplifting and help to eradicate anxiety.

10 Tips to apply the Law of Pure Potentiality!

Just Begin...........
Kate PenwarnThompson.


Today I'm going to talk about the Law of Pure Potentiality. So what is that? There are a lot of fancy ways of saying what this means though I like to say this Law comes into place when we recognize that the Spirit, our inner being, is one of pure potentiality, and pure consciousness. When we listen and tap into what our inner being is saying to us in that small voice, we are then in alignment with the power of God that manifests everything in the Universe.

When we are guided by the Spirit anything is possible and there is unlimited creativity. Here are some tips on how to fully implement this Law into your life.

Five things that help us live The Law of Pure Potentiality

  1. Meditation - Meditation can help us slow our minds and gain a sense of inner peace, allowing us to tap into the infinite potential that exists within us.
  2. Gratitude - Focusing on being thankful for what we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have can help us realize that anything is possible.
  3. Reflection - Taking time to reflect on our experiences can help us gain insight into our current situation and how we can manifest our desired outcomes.
  4. Visualization - Imagining our desired outcomes can help us manifest them in our physical reality.
  5. Affirmations - Positive affirmations can help us create an inner landscape of positivity and possibility, allowing us to manifest our dreams into reality.

All of these things will help you to really understand your true nature. You'll never feel guilty, fearful, or insecure about money, affluence, or fulfilling your desires.

Ask yourself what happens to you when the objects in your life disappear. What if you lose everything? Your money, your home, your employment? If you're totally reliant on things outside of yourself then your freedom becomes conditional. If you're more in touch with the world than God, then you'll feel fear, doubt, and anxiety, and you're not in touch with your inner being, which is where pure potentiality begins.

Five things that happen when you reject the spirit within you and choose worldly possessions.

  1. You may miss out on the true joy and fulfillment that comes from living a spiritual life.
  2. Your relationships may suffer as you become more focused on materialistic things.
  3. You may become more inclined to engage in negative behaviors such as greed, envy, and selfishness.
  4. You may become disconnected from your true self, leading to feelings of loneliness and emptiness.
  5. You may experience an inner discord between your spiritual needs and desires and the desires of the world, leading to a sense of disharmony.

When you are grounded in the knowledge of your true Self - when you really understand your true nature - you'll never feel guilty, fearful, or insecure because you realize that the essence of all material wealth is life energy, it is pure potentiality, and pure potentiality is your intrinsic nature.

To help you practice this Law, here are some of the Essential Oils that will help you to become more connected to your inner being. Citrus Fresh stimulates the right brain to amplify creativity and well-being. It also helps to eradicate anxiety. You can also use Lemon to bring clarity of thought and purpose, Lavender to calm, relax, and balance, and Frankincense which increases spiritual awareness, promotes meditation and prayer, improves attitude, and uplifts spirits.
