- I wanted to talk about feeling disconnected from spirituality and how I personally attempt to “fix” it.

What you were saying about when life is tough (understatement for everything you've been going through) it seems like we should or would lean into our spirituality. It just doesn't always work this way though for some of us. This really resonated with me. I have felt during times of sorrow or overwhelm my spiritual practice is so very far away. I do or I should say did feel alone with that distance. Going back, defining or redefining my beliefs and practice, getting back to basics, journaling is such sound advice. Thank you for talking about this. Thank you for sharing such personal information. I agree 100% life is just hard at times. Take care of yourself.
Sometimes I think we just have to do what we can, and sometimes that means not doing much of anything at all. Life really is hard sometimes. 🫂 Thank you for watching 💖💖
Thank you for sharing your story Heather. Life is hard sometimes. I have a saying that helps me when I am feeling “meh”: I do enough, I have enough and I am enough. Also journaling is always a life saver for me. Take care my dear
Love that! 😊 And yes, journaling is so important for me too. 💖
Dawn Michelle said something to the effect that our practices shouldn't feel like homework. That really stuck with me. Our practices are meant to support us, not feel like something we're obligated to do or one more thing we need to check off our to do list. Taking breaks is absolutely normal. We only have so much energy. Sometimes other things in life just take up all we have, and that's ok. Doing these spiritual things takes energy, mental, physical, emotional, spiritual energy. I live with energy limiting chronic health issues. The average person doesn't realize how much energy doing mental/emotional or even spiritual stuff uses, let alone physical energy. "Doing" spiritual practices can take a lot more even physical energy than most people realize, just doing the things. Sometimes it's all just more than we have. The wonderful thing is we can always come back to our practices. We can change and adapt our practices to meet us where we are, in the moment. Our spiritual practices should NOT feel like homework... 💖
Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. It is such a great reminder to not be so hard on myself 💖
I'm incredibly sorry to hear of the losses you've experienced during this time. One is hard enough, but a combination is enough to really put life into a whirlwind of grief.
I feel like this was such a powerful reminder in a flurry of guilty invitations online that make statements like 'if you're truly spiritual/a witch you'll not burn out because it's a part of you/your natural way of living'. And I just can't with that. Like hey, sometimes I'm burnt out of being a human, despite still being one.
Anyways, thank you for sharing. I imagine this still felt incredibly raw. Sending my love. 🖤
Thank you 💖 Burn out sucks, and creating any kind of shame around it sucks even more. Life is just really hard sometimes 🤷🏻♀️
Oh what a time you’ve had! I’m so sorry it’s been just so tough. I think your ideas to stay connected are fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing this I’m certain it will help so many people Heather ❤
Thank you Candy 💖
Thank you for sharing. I was exhausted listening to your life of juggling career, studies, and interests. Wowzers. And I know what it's like to (sell and then) purchase a home without feedback, as it were. Sometimes you just want someone to chime in with an opinion (rarely, but sometimes lol). I remember when your dear friend passed -- just a month before my bestie of 48 years died suddenly. Takes a while. I do have a deck whose entire purpose in my collection is to speak with him. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your cat. Tough year for sure. Thank you for sharing where you are on your journey, Heather. Sending you virtual hugs.
Thank you Beth. Sending you so many virtual hugs back 💖💖
Thanks for sharing. We all need to hear that sometimes it’s hard and that’s valid.
💖
I appreciate your sharing of this. I am one of those witches you described as not burning out on my practice. I do burn out on everything else. I am sorry you have suffered so much loss recently. Things can be so very hard. I hope your practice brings you comfort and joy soon and that life becomes less heavy. ❤
Thank you 💖
I feel you SO MUCH on this topic... absolutely yes to going back to basics ✨️ I have found myself leaning towards being more present, and overall just taking everyday life a day at a time. Thank you for sharing and take care 💜
“A day at a time” is such good advice. 💖
You've really had a rough time, so sorry ❤ I enjoyed listening to your chat. Sending hugs 🫂
Thank you 💖
My goodness I am so sorry for all of your loss and pain. I’m sure it would have affected my spirituality also. Sending you tons of love sweet Heather. If you just ever need someone to chat with I am here. ❤❤❤
Thank you Rachele. 💖
That is so timely for me. I had stopped practicing in 2021 and 2024 is about coming back to a practice. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🙂
A wonderful video, my friend--one that others will find helpful. I know how much you've been through in the last year, and if there's anything you ever need, I'm always available ❤🩹 Sending you huge virtual hugs🫂
I am so grateful to have you and Sarah as my friends. Sending big virtual hugs back 💖

Very helpful. Thank you!
I am glad to hear that. Thank you 💖
I totally agree that when I’ve been in similar situations, reminding myself that this isn’t the first time I’ve had a slump in my practices is one of the most helpful things…just reaffirming that mindset that a feeling of disconnection is just a thing we all go through and it doesn’t represent a failure or signify a lack of commitment-I feel like the worst thing you can possibly do when the stress of life is causing a slump is to let the slump become yet another source of stress! I loved your tips for what you do in these situations to rebuild that connection when you’re ready. And, as always, sending tons of love your way as you navigate everything that’s been going on…it has truly been A LOT. 💖💖💖🫂🫂🫂

Shout out to verbal processor's ... brap brap.
Burn out is just mean to work through and spiritual burnout on top of that, is a stark test in faith. Ooo child. Its a test.
I am so sorry that you are moving through grief and yes the world is a f-ing sh*t show right now. 🫂
Be kind to yourself.
💐
