Energy Reading May 24–30, 2022: We're Tapping Into Motivation & Excitement This Week

Well, y'all, we're in the last week of Mercury retrograde, and even though I'm not an astrologer, when I feel into the energy this week, I can sense the stickiness that comes with this astrological cycle.

Progress this week could take the form of making fun plans with friends or starting a new business. The air has a teenage "don't look before you leap" feeling to it, and honestly? I'm here for it. 

But as we hit the gas pedal, we may find we only get so far before getting stuck in the mud. It feels a bit like taffy—the pull of moving forward but not going quite as fast as we want to. We may have to be patient if our ideas and plans hit some roadblocks, but there's still plenty of motivation to be had when we stay optimistic.

It's helpful to remember there's almost always something "in the works" in the moments when we don't get the green light to move forward yet. It's human nature to be focused on when the thing we want doesn't come to fruition (yet), but we can train ourselves to focus on what is instead!

I'm currently in a waiting period with my book on inner child healing. It comes out next year, and right now, I'm waiting for my editor to get back to me with her notes. For a while, as I was waiting on these notes, I was very focused on all the things she must be finding wrong with it. Instead of spending this in-between time focused on the present and what was going right, I was worrying about all the things she might not like.

After hearing back from her that she loved it but would need some more time, I was able to relax and be in the moment. I was able to remember what I loved about my book—and appreciate that I even have a book coming out at all! I was able to be in the moment and not let the timeline affect my enjoyment of what was.

Of course, we don't always get that metaphorical email back from the editor allowing us to relax. Sometimes things just aren't moving as fast as we want them to and we don't know why.
