Welcome to Mama Goddess. I'm your host, Alexandra J. Johnson. This podcast is all about rocking your goddess life, creating vibrant health and celebrating motherhood and family life. It's about living an authentically awesome life. Let's have some fun.

Hello, this is Alexandra. Welcome to another Optimize plus one. I was listening to Shake it out by Florence and the Machine. After I went for a hike, I had the music turned up, windows rolled down and singing like nobody was watching. You know, doing the hand thing out the window. Yep, that's just how I like to do it. And this line inspired me. It's hard to dance with a devil on your back. So shake it off and I won't sing that for you today, but it's a good song. We all have devils on our backs. The things that stress us out. Bad habits, negative thinking, etc. And when they're clinging to our backs, they're heavy and we can't dance. And I don't know about you, but I want to dance in my life. Yes, I want to physically dance and perhaps more importantly, metaphorically, shake that devil and rock my big life dance. So let's shake it off and shake it out right now. Let's get down to some business. Close your eyes and think of something that's weighing on you right now in your life. Do you feel that devil on your back? All right, now imagine shaking that energy right off your back, like shaking it out. See it dissolving and dispersing into the air and leaving you feeling lighter and brighter. All right, open your eyes and then just do a full on. Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. The more shakes the better. Shake it out with the intention of being more wild and free Living your authentic life. Take a deep breath. Feel your life force pulsing your heart beating. Remember, you always have the power to shake the devil off your back. You may need to do it hundreds of times a day, but you can always do it. Hopefully you feel more freedom to dance through your day now that you've shaken off some negative energy. Sending you big love and blessings.
