I was asked for guidance and my opinion around the following subject...

"How do you motivate yourself to do your work/studies/create when you set aside the time, but you do everything other than what you set out to do?"

 It interested me that I was asked for guidance which is why I felt strongly to share my response, because it is a topic that at times I have really struggled to manage.

In my experience, and I am by no means an expert on any level, something to get to grips with...almost like a journey where you set out on a voyage of discovery...

My findings have led me to believe and understand that Debra  'Procrastination' Parrott, as she had referred to herself, does best to surrender to the flow, let all control go when it comes to this. Of course I make action plans and have structured goals and guidelines for myself and my work, but I do not lose sleep over them anymore nor give myself such a hard time for not getting something done.  This certainly was not always the case!  

Some days I would have an action list as long as my arm, and I would spend the best part of the day doing everything but cracking on with that action list.  Other days I would get everything done and more...go figure.  I used to get upset, frustrated or irritated with myself for "wasting" time doing "menial" things when I should/could have got so much more important things done!

 Now I view things differently....

I believe, and you may not agree, that procrastination is ego talking, the achilles heel that kicks in to hold us back from achieving our goals, delaying us or distracting us from reaching success.  Some days its easy for it to get the better of us and other times you can recognise this and tell it to go do one to bring back focus and action and push through...
"Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder." - Mason Cooley. 

But this is where I found it got interesting...  
I found the hardest part was deciphering if I was procrastinating or if it was in fact the Universe playing its part of taking me away from the work/studies/action list because I was tired/overwhelmed/needed a breather/not in the right headspace so I would not of been getting it done to my highest ability at that time, so was taken away from it.

I've come to believe that sometimes doing what we think is nothing or wasting time is actually giving us everything that we need ..e.g. I used to get the hump and agitated getting household jobs done trying to rush through so I could get on with my work or get creating new content, the more I tried to get the day to day chores and jobs out of the way, the more clumsy I got, the longer it took or the more jobs I ended up creating... in the end I never got my work or creations done anyway.

I realise now I wasn't being grateful or aware of the blessing of grounding, which came in the form of hoovering,  or the practical function of cleaning,  or being present in the physical sense (as most of my work/purpose is in the spiritual sense so the grounding is very very essential). All the things my physical body was needing to bring in balance, so these 'distractions' 'chores' 'menial things' where actually helping me in the long run to complete my work/studies/creations.

By no means have I completely cracked this but I seriously don't give myself such a hard time now when I don't complete my work/creations or action list when I set out too.  I still procrastinate at times when I am starting something new, if I am taking a risk or I feel nervous about creating content which is a huge undertaking, and that's ok.  I realise what is happening and I just go with the flow.  We were put on this Earth for the experiences...got to feel the rush of blood through the veins at times to feel alive.

I realise that actually I get the work done anyhow, even if not in the way I had planned, predicted or set out too, so its pointless giving myself such a hard time like initially I would.

I believe our Higher Selves (the true authentic part of us that doesn't ever come from ego, judgement or restriction) is continuing intuitively guiding us so we end up doing exactly what is best or is meant for us but most of the time our human part fights it.

In conclusion, I reckon its all in the deciphering...
Is it procrastination and ego shouting loudly, taking you off your 'A game' and do you need to push through to achieve what you set out to do at this particular time...
Or...
is it the Universe guiding you away to do something else until you are actually in a better/healthier/calmer/more balanced place so that when you do get to it, the work, creation or ideas are the best they can be for your highest good...

This beautiful ones, is for you to work out.  I salute you and love you.  

I always felt from a young age that there was more than what we could see in this world. 

 I always felt that I was protected and looked after but never really spoke about my thoughts/feelings as I was a very quiet, shy girl and always thought in my early years that other peoples’ opinions were more important than mine – low self-worth, self-esteem for many years held me back in many areas of my life but mostly from my true life purpose but I understand now that my soul needed the lessons and I am grateful for the things I have experienced and learned along the way, that have brought me to right here and now.

Constant thoughts and feelings in my earlier years were…If I ever spoke aloud that I believed in angels and other higher beings of light what would people say? What would they think of me? Would they think I was mad/sad/weird? They might not want to know me anymore or ridicule me.

Well the angels and my guides clearly helped me so much during the past 12 years since moving from Kent (where I was brought up and always lived from age 2) until I resigned from my job in the Corporate world in London to have my beautiful son Jack and we moved to the West Sussex coast…over 12 years ago now, it was simply flown by.....

At this point, circumstances and the more relaxed way of life (jumping off the rat race of commuting, long hours and day to day rushing and chaos) allowed me to listen more to my inner knowledge and guidance which led me to connect with new people and places which opened up so many opportunities and then the re-connecting inside of ME with everything that I had quietened down over so many years became IGNITED, which was a huge life turning point for me in every way, I was able to see, feel and sense so much more of the amazing spiritual world that I had felt existed from when I was a young girl.

The past 12 years have introduced me to so many beautiful like-minded true light-shiners, empaths and psychics as well as the amazing benefits of Angelic Reiki, crystals, holistic living, herbals supplements and remedies, many other healing modalities including the use of meditation, sound therapy and how colour has a huge impact too in our lives and much much more, my life has transformed, shifted and expanded in such a beautiful way, and for which I am forever grateful.

I started to use my intuitive and empathetic gifts on a daily basis more and more when I took the 'leap of faith' to become self-employed and open my 'Haven' full time.  This allowed me to sense and get to know my guides, angels and spirit more, as well as receive messages too for others. 

 Its like anything in life, the more you practice and use gifts, the more you get to experience or find easier as time goes on.  I am aware of spirit, angels and higher beings around me every day and so much more during times of healing experiences with clients, during meditations, out in nature, and when living in the present from my 'Higher Self' essence.

We are all unique so will see, feel, understand and receive different experiences so you may be aware of the angels, guides and higher beings of light in a completely different way to me or other people and that would be perfectly normal, but if you are open to these and trust your inner wisdom what is comfortable with you, then the connection will happen at the perfect time.

All I know is that when the angels and my guides are present, there is an overwhelming warm, radiating feeling of love, peace and protection with me.  A much higher power in place.

 Much of what we see and hear about angels comes from books, movies, TV and there is much debate about whether angels are real, what they do, what they look like etc.  I can only write and speak of my experiences and from what I know. I do not personally see angels in the form of how they are depicted in artwork and paintings with wings and halos, up until now I see them in the way that works with me and how I have come to be aware of their presence, which is in the form of energy and moving swirls of colours and light as well as “orbs” and during meditations I can “see” and “feel” the energy of the guides and spirits differently too. (more information on this another time).

I do believe that the pictures and paintings that have become so well known represent the pure amazing level of light they hold which we may only be able to comprehend as wings and halos, but that is what I feel is right.

I believe that connecting and working with our angels is a true blessing and if your intention is always one of 100% love, light, and coming from integrity and you do not misuse their powers and gifts, you will always have beautiful and guided experiences with them.

INTENTION IS EVERYTHING!

And remember…we have to ask for their support, guidance and help, it is free will. They cannot only help us with healing, protection and inspiration but I believe they also open up lots of opportunities and experiences which helps on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Are you ready to ask for their help? And meet your angels and guides and discover ways of connecting and working with them?  If the answer is YES, you may wish to come encounter Angelic Reiki whether it be a personal 1:1 or have an entire weekend with me in their presence.  

Your beliefs, views and opinions on this subject will be very personal and right for you and this is how it should be. If you do not agree with anything I have written, understand my experiences and do not wish to know more, then that is perfectly ok. I respect your choices.

I continue to live in gratitude every single day living and loving what I do.  My journey with my guides and angels is continually evolving and growing and the more I flow with it, the more I am shown and feel.  

Part of my purpose and journey is to assist others in 'opening the door' to meet their own guides and angels, so If I can help or assist you in any way, please free feel to reach out to me.

 Angel love, peace and light to you beautiful ones, now and always

WHAT IS ‘ASCENSION’?

Spiritual ascension is the expansion of consciousness. Can be known as spiritual awakening and/or sometimes called enlightenment.

It is a natural evolutionary process which involves the process of shedding the old Self and experiencing a huge shift…almost like a ‘re-birth’.  Many people speak about spiritual ascension like going through an ‘upgrade’ or as a feeling as though they are being ‘re-booted’ or ‘re-programmed’.

Spiritual ascension comes about in life when we are reaching new heights and transcending old limiting habits, beliefs, mindsets, and ways of being. Our energy, auric fields and whole vibration becomes lighter as our thoughts, beliefs around our reality, as well as our outlook, takes on a whole new meaning and understanding too.

The ascension process mostly happens in stages, in layers, whereby we get the chance to adjust to the energetic changes as well as those upgrades and light that is coming to us.

As we ascend, we realise everything that exists is interconnected to the whole. We are all ONE.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN DURING THIS TIME…

When we undergo a spiritual awakening (there can be many throughout our lifetime), we literally ‘WAKE UP’ to life.

It is not unusual at that point to question everything from habits, social conditioning, the work we have been doing, the people who we are around, our purpose in life. We also at this point might feel that ‘inner drive’ or ‘knowing’ steering us to other ways and living, seeing and feeling that there is so much more to life than what we have been taught to date.

Some souls during this time can feel as though they are being elevated in vibrational frequency (an expansion of mind, body and soul). For others, it can feel almost the opposite.

For some, the adjustment as it happens can be very uncomfortable. This is referred to as ‘Ascension Symptoms’…these can occur because of holding onto resistance, to change to ‘comfortable and familiar’ limitations and blockages.

For those of us that are very sensitive and empathic, who ‘feel’ everything, the ascension process can be very challenging indeed. Ascension can cause emotional trauma to get ‘stuck’ in our energy fields – this needs regular and relevant clearing and releasing, otherwise, when it happens, it may physically slow us down in order that the density to be cleared – this can very much be ‘felt’.

On the brighter side, once cleared, we are opening up space for much higher, lighter consciousness to enter.

 

WHY DO THEY HAPPEN…

Spiritual awakenings happen as a natural product of our soul evolving, expanding, transcending, and maturing.  Just as everything in life grows, so too does our connection with our soul (Higher Self).

The more we connect on a soul level (whether accidentally or intentionally), the more we experience TRANSFORMATION. The more we get to embody the soul, the more we get to live true lasting joy, peace, fulfilment, freedom, and LOVE on all levels.

As mentioned in my earlier blog back in Jan 2021 (link is:  https://www.beautifullife.co.uk/ascension-awakening ), if any of the physical symptoms persist and you are worried about your health, or if you feel poorly, it is always advisable to check symptoms and go see a GP or Medical Practitioner for further advice.

A whole range of symptoms/feelings can include all or some of those that are listed on my Jan blog, as well as these below (there can be many many other ranges of changes too):

• Body aches & pains
• Emotional outbursts
• Unusual sleep patterns
• Headaches/Neck pain
• Physical disorientation/dizzy/confusion
• Zero tolerance to negativity
• Seeing/feeling/hearing sounds/energies - psychic abilities opening up (accessing other realms)
• Feeling alone or highly emotional, tearful, sad
• Losing track of time (timeline changes from 3d to 5th dimension)
• Being made aware of signs from Higher Realms (number sequences/feathers/coins/synchronicity
• Feeling fearful or opposite, feeling very strong and courageous
• Entire transformation (like you are no longer same person you were)
• Wanting to change external situations
• Needing to change career/purpose/drive
• Intense dreams, lack of sleep or exhaustive, unable to get up 
• Feeling more forgiving, giving, longing, hopeful, at one
• Increased clarity
• Body detox - wanting to transition to highly nutritious food/drinks
• Seeking time with oneself
• Needing to meditate/be mindful
• Desire to practice healing modalities
• A sense of deeper purpose and drive
• Epiphanies
• Called to nature
• Sense that something 'big' is about to happen

There are also helpful ways given to help us move through the transitions:

• Go out in nature
• Meditate/practice mindfulness
• High vibration music/sound therapy/instruments
• Find your soul tribe/like-minded friends
• Avoid chaos/drama/low vibration environments
• Limit watching the news/violence/horror

• Exercise including yoga or Pilates, stretching, swimming
• Change your diet to highly nutritional foods, drinks - limit sugar/alcohol etc
• Read inspirational books or find inspirational and motivating people
• Raise your vibration in all ways
• Use crystals/essential oils/natural herbs or holistic practices
• Try acupuncture/healing/reflexology/reflection/reiki/massage

There are many other helpful ways - why not start today at researching and using your inner guidance to help show you.  If not, please reach out t me or other holistic practitioners/healers to assist you now.

It is time to RISE beautiful ones. Humanity needs us. Let us find our way into more light.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR NAME?

Your name has power.

Your name is sacred.

Your name runs deep.

Your name carries an impact.

Your name carries such connection, a sense of who you are.

 

Your name has such meaning from that very moment you are born. The syllables carry a resonance. The sound is not only powerful to the ear when your name is spoken, but the letters carry a powerful vibration as well as the tone too.

Your surname links hereditary, ancestral line and your personal identity.

The power of your birth name is HUGE (even if you do not take that name today).

Like many others, I believe the moment we are born has been divinely orchestrated and planned to the finest point – not only taking into consideration the numerology, astrological sides, but on every level.

The reason for my blog….I want to share something with you beautiful ones…

I was born Debra Parrott.  It was not until my 30’s, when I married, that I changed my name. I never liked my given birth name.

I liked Debbie, but when I was called Debra, my memory was flooded with long school days where teachers formally addressed me in front of the entire class.

 My surname…………well that was a whole new ballgame………………in my younger years, I was embarrassed of it. I would go out of my way not to refer to my surname in any situation, especially with new people. At school, (again like many others) I was named called and on the receiving end of lots of jokes.  I really began to like it less and less.

 At the same time, I was not loving me, so many elements of both my name, and myself I disliked. IT STUCK with me for years, like glue.

 When I married, it felt like a huge relief to change my surname, albeit much underlying self-transformational work was still to be done (other blogs touch on this part of my life journey, if you are interested).

Fast forwarding to the here and now, my life has evolved a lot…and since my divorce (a few years back) I have moved through much self-discovery and personal healing.

Some of this healing has been around connecting back to my power, the importance of my soul calling, my mission and my purpose here. The self- realisation that I must honour and own WHO I AM.

The more I write of my personal experiences, as well as the channellings that are given from my Guides and the Angelic Realm, the more I feel and see the powerful teachings being grounded and anchored for me on my life journey.

Equally important and relevant, I am shown how the Universe wants these learnings to be shared with you beautiful ones …passing forward and highlighting the bigger picture and perspective (that may/or may not) become a relevant aspect of your life in some way, shape or form.

My given name Debra Parrott is where I reside. I do not shy away from the WHOLE me anymore.

As I finish this blog, may I put forward the following statements for you to consider beautiful ones:

·        What feelings and effects does your given birth name create for you?

·        Do you ‘own’ who you are?

·        Are you wholly and truly being who you were born to be?

·        Are you proud and empowered of who you are?

Don’t hide beautiful ones, don’t play small. I know in the past I have, and it is ok. No regrets.  

I see the role I am here to fulfil, and I am walking my path with my heart open and connected to achieving this. I am happy owning who I am. My name is such a huge magical powerful part of me and I am pleased I have found inner peace with that.

I highly recommend looking further into the spiritual meaning of your name, your numerology and astrological chart – it continues to fascinate me, as well as help me understand more about myself on a human, physical level but on a soul level too.

May your name lead you home.

Incidentally, if you are interested, ‘Parrot’ spirit is:

“Symbolic of truth telling…speaking from the centre of the heart. As Parrot speaks back to you the words you have spoken, you hear your own words with no filter. This is a powerful reflection of self, as you are able to recognise the truth of your own words and what you are communicating or you will be reminded of the secrets you are keeping, or the untruths that are being told.

Parrot is a great teacher of communication and brings guidance and assistance in your ability to communicate that which you really feel.”

Parrots represent the 'Law of Praise' - called to speak the truth and speak with love.  

 Ironic, as I was born ‘tongue-tied’, was shy beyond belief as a child and huge people pleaser who never spoke up or stood up for myself, hid my opinions and truths for fear of being disliked or rejected! LIFE shows us what we need to work with, that’s for sure.

I hope you can take from this blog all that you need.

May your path be illuminated in love, light, truth and peace always,

Deb
