Welcome to the Blackout Girl podcast with Jennifer Storm.
I am your host and the author of both Blackout Girl and Awakening Blackout Girl.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Today I want to talk about what's weighing you down.
What are you carrying that feels so heavy that it's hard to open your eyes in the morning?
It's harder even still to swing your feet out of the bed and plant your feet firmly on the floor.
Maybe what you're carrying,
Maybe the weight that you have actually propels you forward in constant motion,
Running and spinning and spiraling out of control.
However your emotional and spiritual weight shows up for you today,
I want you to stop.
I want you to pause and close your eyes.
I want you to sit in this moment.
Sit still and feel whatever begins to rise in you.
What is conjuring?
What is smoldering beneath the surface?
What is calling you to release?
Begging for reprieve.
Expose that.
Right now in this moment,
I want you to speak it out loud.
Whatever comes up the first thing that comes to your mind,
Just say it out loud.
Give it its proper space.
Give it the attention that it is craving.
If not for this moment,
Just give it the validation in this moment.
Name it.
Then I want you to ask yourself,
Is this your responsibility?
Can you change this thing?
Can you do anything to improve it?
And if so,
Then I want you to spend the rest of the day considering that.
During the steps that you need to take to change it,
To improve it,
Or to maybe take responsibility for it.
Give it the attention it's craving in this moment and throughout the day.
And then I want you to release it.
If it's not something that is your responsibility,
If you can't do anything about it,
If there's nothing in this moment that you can do to change it,
Then whatever it is,
It does not serve you.
It is weighing you down and it is in your way.
It is in your way for growth and for spiritual awakening.
I'm asking you to release it into the universe and trust that you need to not own it anymore.
Is it guilt,
Shame,
Self-loathing?
Are you beating yourself up over something you can't even control?
Put the stick down.
You have suffered enough.
You are forgiven.
I give you permission to let it go.
To heal.
To love yourself enough to let it go.
You are worthy of this release.
Drop the baggage and replace it with a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.
And when you breathe in,
I want you to breathe in love and light.
And when you breathe out,
I want you to picture the darkness leaving your chest.
I want you to expel whatever that is that is not serving you.
I want you to expel it out into the world as you exhale.
Do this with me now.
In with love and light.
Out with darkness,
Burden,
And baggage.
Breathe in love and light.
Breathe out the waste.
I want you to get a little forceful with it now and really flush your lungs of the darkness.
In with love and light.
Out with the waste.
As you do this,
I want you to visualize literally the darkness coming out of you in streams of smoke,
In clouds of dirt.
Rid yourself of this pain,
The shame,
The guilt,
And let it out and let it go.
Breathe in light and love and keep pushing whatever is left inside that does not serve you today.
You are worth this work.
You are worth the release.
You are worthy.
Until next time.
