10 Ways to ignite your fire Within

How to ignite your inner fire & let your badass shine this summer

Ignite Your Inner FIre with the Summer Sun

Summer is the season of heat and fire and your Inner Badass…

…and Now’s the time to Let Her be in charge!

Summer wants you to be confident. And strong. Use the fiery energy of the sun to connect with that part of yourself & fuel your confidence–to give you the strength & fire to let that part of yourself shine… unleash the inner light within!

This season, find as many ways as you can to connect with your most powerful self. Your confident, fiery self. Find ways to absorb the sun’s energy into your body & use that fire to fuel your own.

How to connect with, embrace, and ignite your fire!

Here are some ideas for connecting with your own powerful Inner Fire & for absorbing that fierce, fiery sun energy.

10 Ideas to fuel your bad-assery this summer:

1

1. JOURNAL on and explore your most fiery, powerful self!

Here are some really powerful questions to ask yourself at this time of year:
  • Q: When do you feel like your most powerful self?

What makes you feel like a badass? When have you felt this way in your life? How can you do some of these things in your life now?

  • Q: What do you love most about … YOU!

We all spend so much time focusing on the things we DON’T like about ourselves. Those negative thoughts will not fuel any inner fires but rather, squelch the flames like water on a campfire.

Instead, consider what you like MOST about yourself. What do you love about yourself? In what ways are you strong in your life? What do you feel confident about in yourself?

Gas yourself up a bit! Don’t be shy… we are here to IGNITE OUR INNER LIGHT INTO A ROARING FIRE!

  • Q: What qualities make you feel strong? And powerful?

PRO TIP: write them big and loud and proud. Tape them over your desk, in your room, on the bathroom mirror – wherever you will see them everyday & you can remind yourself of the ways your powerful, rather than always focusing on the negative.

2. WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE? 

What makes you feel really alive? What’s something you love to do? What makes you lose track of time & just feel immersed?

OR: Observe yourself throughout your day. What makes you feel alive? What moments made you feel live today? Keep a list.

Then consider: How can you add more of these to your daily life?

The more consistently you add activities in that make you feel confident, the more second-nature they become and the more confident you actually become, from your thoughts, to your posture, to your emotions, to your actions.

3. RECONNECT WITH YOUR ESSENCE

Take time to reconnect with your essence – the core of who you are. Shine a light on your strengths and talents, your passions and values. Look at what moves you at the heart-level (and make time for this in your life).

Here’s how you can reconnect with your core…

Ask yourself: Who am I?

At your core: who are you? Consider a time when you felt on fire and all was right in your world. Identify your essence that showed up in that story. What strengths, talents & passions show up in your life?

Once you’ve identified your essence, notice how it feels in your body:

Where does this show up in your body?

Can this essence be represented by a color? If so, connect with that feeling and that color and play around with allowing this feeling to move through your entire body, get stronger, and grow bigger.

Do this practice as often as you would like… it’s always here and always in you, just sometimes we need to bring back our awareness to this core!

4. PLANK POSE. 

Do a plank every morning. This simply (but challenging!) pose ignites & strengthens you core –your fierce, fiery center.

Go for as long as you are feeling called to… and during this time so if you can connect with the fire and burn growing at your center.

5. PRACTICE CLEAN EATING. 

Practice healthy, clean eating right now. Literally fuel your body & your fire with empowering, healthy foods.

6. BUILD A FIRE. 

While you’re enjoying your fire, take a moment to do this very simple meditation/mantra:

  • Take several deep breaths to ground and center yourself as you gaze into the fire.
  • With each inhale, draw in that fierce, hot fire energy. Feel the fire entering your spirit. With each breath, envision your inner fire growing larger and stronger until it is raging within you.
  • Repeat to yourself, “My inner fire is fierce.”
  • Repeat this mantra many times, until you begin to believe it’s really true. (Because it is!)

7. SUN BATHING MEDITATION.

Find a spot to lay on your back in the sun. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths to ground yourself.

As you continue to breathe, begin reflecting on your inner strength, your inner fire, that part of yourself that is confident & powerful. Picture that part of yourself as a fire burning within you (it may be strong & fierce, or it may only be a spark).

Feel the powerful Summer Solstice sun shining down on you. With each breath, pull that fierce, fiery, hot summer energy into your body. Picture its fire adding to your own inner fire. With each breath picture your flame growing & expanding.

Continue to breathe in the sun’s fire like this, absorbing it as long as you’re able.

When you rise you will continue to carry this fire with you. Whenever your confidence wanes or you need to access your inner fire, take a moment & picture this flame burning inside you.

8. DANCE.

Put on a favorite song. Something that makes you feel alive. Something that inspires your spirit. Turn it up if you can, or put on headphones. And let yourself dance. Be free. Let the music move you. (This is my Go To way to feel my most empowered & alive.)

9. DO SOMETHING SCARY.

Do something that scares you. Have you ever jumped off a cliff into the water? You kind of feel like a super hero when you emerge from the water below. Is there something that you’ve been wanting to try but fear has been holding you back? If so, this might just be the time to overcome it and your sign to take charge after it!

  • What parts of you could use some extra fire to accomplish these things?
