Awaken Your Inner Awesomeness with Melissa Oatman-A daily dose of spirituality and self improvement

When someone treats us unkindly or unfairly, it is human nature to want to retaliate.  The Universe is asking you today not to waste your precious energy on people and situations that do not serve you.  Your energy is better spent focusing on the positive aspects of life.  There are so many things to be grateful for. Choose to focus your energy on that instead of on the hurts that others caused yo...

There is a great saying that goes, “ If you think you can do a thing, or you think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”  You see it’s all about what we choose to focus our energy on. Are we focused on the positive, or the negative. Whatever you focus your energy on becomes your fate. It’s important to focus on the positive of every experience.  Connect with me https://melissaoatman.com https://www...

I spent some time in a toxic relationship, and it left me with many emotional scars.  I had to go back and completely heal the emotional wounds that this relationship caused.  If you have ever been in a toxic relationship, then you know how painful it can be.  You feel trapped, depressed, hopeless, frustrated, and life becomes increasingly difficult.  I became so depressed that I didn't even want...

If you have ever suffered from anxiety or panic attacks, then you know how difficult and scary it can be.  I never knew that I was suffering from anxiety until a year ago.  I had lived my whole life without ever recognizing the symptoms.  In today's episode, I talk about how to identify the symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. I also talk about some of the ways that you can reduce anxiety, and h...

Forgiveness is such a beautiful gift that we can give ourselves.  When I talk about forgiveness, most people assume that I mean they need to forgive another person.  It is just as important to forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made in the past.  Our mistakes do not define us.  They are actually there to teach us.  Free yourself today from the heavy burden of your past by compassionately...

Do that which sets your soul on fire.  I love this expression because it is the absolute truth.  We should be living our lives as if we are so excited to get out of bed and experience new things every day.  If you aren't currently feeling passionate about life, the Universe is asking you to make changes.  We were not meant to live lives that are ordinary, dull, or passionless.  If that is how you...

Finance is an area that many people struggle with.  What money stories are you telling yourself?  Are you focusing on lack, or are you expecting to receive from the Universe?  Do you even know what your finances are?  It's important to take an active role in your finances and to know what debt you have.  I discuss all of this and more on today's episode.  If you want to improve your financial situ...

The Universe often brings us signs and gifts from unexpected places.  These signs and gifts will often come from people around us.  The Universe uses these people to bring us our messages.  If you are struggling with something today, take a moment to ask your spiritual team for help.  Ask to receive signs, and then be willing and open to receive those signs.  The Universe wants to point us in the...

Friendships are an important part of our lives.

Love comes to us when we least expect it.  You don't have to go looking for it.  When you love yourself deeply and unconditionally, you attract love to you.  If you are struggling to love yourself, or if you haven't healed old inner childhood wounds, you are going to keep attracting the wrong kind of relationships.  You will continue on a never-ending cycle.  The energy you send out when you don't...

Are you going through a spiritual awakening?  Many people wonder about this very topic.  Today I talk about the different stages of the spiritual awakening process, and I relate my own experiences with this process.  If you are going through this process, then you know it can be very difficult, but it is extremely important.  Spiritual awakenings put us on a completely different path in life.  We...

Music has so many wonderful health benefits for you.  Music releases dopamine in the brain, which causes feelings of happiness. If you have been feeling depressed, anxious, or worried, music can help elevate your mood and relieve your anxiety.  I know you want to feel good each day.  Plus, when we wish to see our dreams manifest, we must be in a state of high energy vibration.  When we are feeling...

Are you truly being your authentic self, or are you allowing others to influence you? You were wonderfully and beautifully created by the Divine.  You should never be afraid to share your gifts and talents with the world.  The world needs your light to shine.  It doesn't matter how different you are.  Not everyone will understand your journey.  Keep going.  The sky would be nothing without the sta...

The Universe does not want you to compare yourself to others. You were uniquely and wonderfully made. We need you and your individuality. Don’t judge your own success based on the success of anyone else. The sky needs more than just one star to shine.  https://melissaoatman.com https://www.facebook.com/reikiwithlissa/

Loving yourself deeply and completely means that you are no longer willing to accept people and things that don't deserve your time and energy.  We tend to stay in the same cycle of relationships because it is comfortable.  We are afraid to step outside of that comfort zone to see that there is a world of much better people and things waiting for us.  When you love and value yourself, you will ref...

Some people say, "I will be happy when the things I want to get come into my life."  The wise person says, "I am happy and joyful now, and good things are coming into my life."  When you place the words, "when," or "if," into the formula, you are expressing doubt that the Universe can bring you your blessings. Have faith that the Universe is working on your behalf behind the scenes to bring you wh...

We were all born with a built-in GPS System. That system is our intuition. It is a complex mechanism designed to help us navigate through life, yet many of us do not even use it. We go through life feeling lost because we haven’t even taken the time to try out this intuition that we have been gifted. Start learning how to hear your inner GPS today.  https://melissaoatman.com https://www.facebook.c...

Self-confidence is something that many of us struggle with. The Universe wants you to know that you are enough just as you are. Don’t doubt yourself any longer.

When darkness seeps in all around you, it is easy to lose hope.  You have to have faith knowing that the Universe is working on your behalf.  You don't have to know how or when it will work out.  You just have to know that it will.  Don't allow the weather going on around you to dictate your climate.  You can learn how to see the light even through the darkness.  Learn how to trust the Universe.  ...

When things happen in our lives that are beyond our control, it's easy to go down an emotional rabbit hole.  It's important to understand how to get out of that rabbit hole.  What is even more important is learning how to avoid the rabbit hole altogether.  Today I discuss ways to change your mindset and how not to let your emotions take over.  When we allow our emotions to run the show, we give up...

The Universe wants you to love yourself and your life.  We are creating our own realities with our thoughts.  When we focus on what we don't love, we are calling more of that in.  When we focus on what we do love, we are calling that in as well.  You can either choose to create a special place of hell here on Earth for yourself, or you can create your own Heaven.  The choice is yours, and the deci...

What is the vortex exactly, and how do you know if you are in it?  Today I answer these two questions, plus I talk about the importance of being in the present moment and being in the vortex.  Things happen to us every day that knock us out of the vortex.  Life becomes so difficult when we are living outside of the vortex.  It's essential to get back in it again.  Today, I also take you through a...
