Season 4 Episode 13 The Should Stick and other Choices

Monday Morning InspirationFaith-Fueled. Creator-Led.“My life looks fine… so why do I still feel so overwhelmed?”“I want to feel close to God again.”“I want to take care of myself, but I feel guilty.”Sound familiar, sweet friend?You’re not alone. Even as a full-time Creator-based® life coach, I still meet those thoughts in the quiet corners of my heart. Sometimes even louder now—because I’ve chosen to hold myself to a higher standard. (Unreasonably high some days—working on that one.)Here’s what I’ve noticed:The adversary loves to show up with a little tool I call the “should stick.”You should know better.You should be better.You should take care of everyone.You shouldn’t lose your temper.You shouldn’t eat that, say that, buy that.Can we pause and breathe together?Here’s something I want you to hear, deep in your bones:You now have permission to be human.We’re not here to be perfect beings. And we’re not here to be relentless doers. We are human beings, in the practice of becoming. Trying. Learning. Trusting. Loving. Re-centering. It’s a practice—not a perfect.This season tends to pick up speed. It’s easy to get swept away in the swirl. But now more than ever, it’s essential—not optional—to care for your soul.Human life is a divine practice.And every good practice needs three things:✨ An Instruction Manual✨ Nourishment✨ Supportive ConnectionThe Creator-based® Way brings us back to our Source—our Capital-C Creator. For me, that’s Jesus Christ. When I am centered in Him, my soul settles. I become confident, calm, creative, courageous, and connected. My choices become clearer. My heart feels lighter.But when I try to base my life only on me, I get fragmented and fearful. Can you relate?So let me gently ask you:How are you doing with consulting your Instruction Manual?Are your connections clear and bright?Because when we’re spiritually centered, overwhelm becomes easier to notice, easier to name, and easier to let go.Think of life like a merry-go-round. When you sit in the center, the ride is smooth. When you’re clinging to the edge, you feel like you’re about to fly off. Staying centered in your Creator brings steadiness to your spirit—even when life spins fast.Take time to find Him today. He’s always near. But we experience Him most when we’re still.Built into our day are sacred pauses: before we sleep, before we eat, before we connect with our loved ones. Take a breath before your next prayer. Let yourself drop into presence. That, my friend, is breath meditation. That is where peace lives.Now, about the guilt.Let’s flip the script.You are essential.You are needed.You are deeply loved.If you don’t care for your soul—spiritually and physically—the people who depend on you will feel the effects. What they won’t suffer from is you taking time to rest, to breathe, to fill your own cup.A long bath can calm your tone.A nourishing meal can lift your energy.A peaceful heart blesses every room it enters.Caring for yourself isn’t selfish.It’s sacred stewardship.The worth of your soul is great in the sight of God—and in the lives of those you love.So come be nourished with us.✨ Join Coach n Clear for a weekly soul tune-up.✨ Attend Mastermind and learn to pursue your desires in a Creator-based® way.✨ Celebrate Jubilee and gather joyfully with women walking your same path.Need help choosing where to begin?Let’s talk.
