Vow to Self Podcast

We are allowed to feel what we feel. We are free to express, and be. Our feelings are valid. Our feelings speak to what aligns with us and what doesn't. We can use our feelings to navigate where we are in our growth journey, to learn more about ourselves and others. We are living, feeling, breathing beings, and it is a true gift to feel; it is our human nature. Today, we're taking time to speak to our feelings, and reclaim our innate power. This is our last episode of Season 5. Before we begin our affirmation meditation, I have to give a special thank you to you. Every time you listen to this podcast, it brings joy to my heart and inspires me to keep inspiring others. I hope you've received something from these words, you can always come back for daily reminders. Who knows, maybe we'll release a bonus episode before our next season. Now, here are vows to give ourselves the freedom and awareness to feel what we feel.   Created, written + voiced by Mel Chanté for Vow to Self. Join our newsletter: Vow to Self Newsletter.

Our thoughts are powerful. Being aware of what we allow to enter and pass through our minds is a healthy practice. It allows us to be intentional about what we're thinking, to choose our thoughts with purpose, to steer our thoughts onto more positive paths, to notice them, redirect them, water them. We are the captain of our mind's ship. We have the power and gift to speak life in our thoughts, plant seeds of love in our imaginations, envision prosperity in every area of our lives, even if our eyes don't see it yet. Right now, we're going to honor these strengths. Here are vows to empower our minds and thoughts.   Created, written + voiced by Mel Chanté for Vow to Self.

When was the last time you told yourself: I deserve. I deserve good things in my life. I deserve to be loved. I deserve to be happy. I deserve that promotion, that raise, or that divine opportunity.

In a world that highlights doing and achieving, we must remember the importance of being. Rest is a vital part of our well being. It has the capacity to heal us, rejuvenate us, calm us, ground us, refocus us. Rest gives our minds, body and heart time to let go and relax into the present moment, making room for inspiration and creativity to flow. Sometimes, we have to give ourselves permission to slow down and rest, and that's exactly what we're doing today. Listen to this meditation in the moments you need to slow down, to rest, relax and let go. Here are vows to rest our minds, bodies and spirits.   Created, written + voiced by Mel Chanté for Vow to Self. Join our newsletter: Vow to Self Newsletter.

A key ingredient to the recipe of life is our awareness. Being in tune with our own energy and spirit helps us move with more intention and wisdom. It helps guide us in our interactions and decisions. It helps us be mindful of our thoughts and words. Awareness is a gift, a compass that has the ability to lead us on aligned paths. Today, we're honing our awareness to remind ourselves of the inherent power we hold and yield.  Here are vows to inspire and honor our awareness.   Created, written + voiced by Mel Chanté for Vow to Self.

I have a question, do you realize how radiant you are? Everything about your being, your personality, your gifts, your heart and spirit, set you apart.

Sometimes we need the gentle reminder that being who we are, all that we are, is potent. it is our purpose to shine bright, to walk in our radiance, to embrace our brilliance. Our light is an inspiration to ourselves and for others, we are light bearers here to brighten the world. And today, we are carrying that torch.

We are wealthy with life. We are rich in life. Often we see wealth as material, things outside of ourselves, when true wealth is the life flowing in our bodies, our health, a beating heart, peace of mind, the joy we find in doing things we love, being around people we love. Every day our eyes open, prosperity greets us. It's not to say financial wealth isn't wealth, it's to say it's not the only wealth. Our life is priceless, our breath is priceless. When we begin to see how wealthy we truly are simply by having this life to experience, we draw the wealth around us to ourselves. Here are vows to reclaim that we are truly wealthy.   Created, written + voiced by Mel Chanté for Vow to Self. Join our newsletter: Vow to Self Newsletter.

What if we already hold everything we need to live the life of our dreams? What if we are equipped with all that's required to prosper? Every experience, every moment, every day lived is preparing us for our highest good. As long as we have breath in our lungs, we have the precious opportunity to walk in our purpose. We have the knowing that our presence is for a reason, and we are equipped with all we require to be our truest, best selves. And it all starts within. Here are vows to remind ourselves: we are already equipped.   Created, written + voiced by Mel Chanté for Vow to Self. Join our newsletter: Vow to Self Newsletter.

Thriving is a way of thinking, thriving is a way of being. As we set our hearts on good things, we see that life is working with us and never against us. Everything happens for our good and growth.

The gift of life is an abundant treasure, and today, we're soaking it all in. Here are vows to declare how much we thrive in every new day.   Created, written + voiced by Mel Chanté for Vow to Self.

Trust and faith go hand in hand. When we have trust, we believe the best is yet to come, we have faith that everything will work out in our favor, even if we don't see it yet.

We are back from our mini hiatus, and it feels amazing. Thank you for being here. This week's new episode is all about our words.  There is power in our words and what we choose to say or not say.

Our imagination is supernatural. It grants us the ability to see and dream beyond the natural and physical things before our eyes. It is a powerful, influential gift we've been given. When we're children, our imagination is our best friend, we experience the world without limits. We have child-like faith and dreams. We believe everything and anything is possible, and that is the part of ourselves we need to hold onto and nourish. Today, we're tapping back into that power.  Here are vows to help us expand, appreciate and inspire our imagination. We'll be taking a break from a new episode next week before we wrap Season 4.

Our faith needs love too. Our faith needs us too.  It needs to be grown and cultivated. It thrives on us watering it every day. Speaking life into areas of drought. Shining light into the shadows for belief to sprout.  Everything we see around us is a reflection of faith.

They say the best things in life are free. Our love is free. Our joy is free. Our peace is free. And it all stems from our self love. The way we treat and accept ourselves is how we show up in the world, and it's also the way we accept others. Taking the time to nourish our freedom helps us become more aware of what to embrace and what to let go. We are free to be, breathe, live, dream, believe and love. Here's to freeing ourselves.

Our imagination is one of the most valuable tools we've been given. We have the ability to envision what's not yet there, and see it come into reality.

The more those possibilities turn into realities. Here's to envisioning greatness. Created, written + voiced by Mel Chanté for Vow to Self. Listen to more Mel Chanté on all music platforms.
