How To Create Your Own Reality And Bring It Into Life

Tapping into our feelings is a challenge for all of us as we’ve learned to make life choices based on logic and analysis. Veteran software engineer Amy Bingham built her career on those foundations until she listened to her feelings and discovered that deep down she wanted a very different life and to create her own reality.

Six years ago Amy’s life looked significantly different. She was following a predictable path, worked hard to build her career, and was married with two children and a third on the way.

Then she lost her teenage son to suicide. A few months later her daughter was born and her marriage collapsed. All her strength and focus were devoted to keeping the household together. Everything she thought was right in her life suddenly felt very wrong and impossible to put back together. Despite the heartache and pain she experienced, she had no choice but to put one foot in front of the other and carry on. It took 3 years of struggling with therapy, support groups, PTSD treatments, and every ounce of her to find a new way of living, despite her effort to heal. Then she experienced energy healing for the first time and finally found a way to let go of some of the pain she had buried deep within on a cellular level.

When the Covid-19 pandemic started Amy had already made some major shifts in her life. Amy explains; “I was already putting into motion how I wanted my day to feel. I claimed that my full-time 40 hours a week developer job would feel like an easy 20 hours. After manifesting that I could hustle and complete my work in much less time. So I had extra time to be loving to my children. I started removing myself from the limiting belief that I had to work extremely hard to earn my income.”

She decided to decline a raise but wasn’t sure where it would lead. She followed her intuition. “At the start of the pandemic, I pushed ego and logic aside and just allowed things to flow. I decided a 9-5 job was not what I wanted. I chased my dream of living by the ocean. I quit my 20-year career, I sold my house and all my life’s belongings, and I moved to a third world country, all during a pandemic,” she says. Slowly a new vision for her life emerged, a new reality came into focus and she bought a ticket to Bali, a place she’d never had visited before. All she knew was that her intuition was guiding her to this place.

Leaning Into Your Glow.

“People have this idea that healing implies something is wrong with you and that you are broken. Real healing on an energetic level means to let go, to release everything that no longer is serving you. It’s in the releasing that you return to your highest vibrational way of living that your soul was meant to experience. Release the pain you’ve buried inside, and only then can you begin to live in the present again,” she explains.

Amy’s experience with her own healing gave her the tools she needed to make peace with her life, with her losses, and with her shattered dreams. So she could create a very different future for herself and her children. This process brought her closer to her son. “Once I was able to stop clinging to the past, the guilt I felt and trying to hold on to him through my memories and his possessions, there was a huge shift and I began to feel him closer again, but this time on a whole new consciousness level. I began to make some sense out of how grief no longer serves me and it gave me my freedom back, and it gave me a whole new perspective of how I want my life to be driven by my soul ” she continues.

Allowing your intuition to lead and what Amy calls, ‘Leaning Into Your Glow’ has given her a vision of a life she never imagined. Amy’s transformation attracted others and potential clients started to contact her on how to make this same transformation for themselves. She didn’t advertise her services, nor had she contemplated a career as a healer but as she began to move in that direction, she tapped into a knowing that she had skills that would help others. “I knew that I wanted to explore my healing work and help others but I really didn’t know what that would look like. I learned that changing your life starts with a feeling, not a list,” she says from her new home in Bali.

“That is why I called my company ‘Lean Into Your Glow’,” she explains. “That is what I did. Once I was able to come out of my grief I found I could tap into how others were feeling and help them to make an energetic shift. I began to work one-on-one with clients, teaching them how to use a set of highly effective tools that allow them to heal themselves,” she explains.

Take the time to listen.

Amy had planned for her two children to join her in Bali once she had found a house and set herself up in a new home but due to delays getting their visas, she returned to Bali alone. “Even though my heart ached deeply as a mom for her children, I knew I was faced with a sacrifice I needed to trust, I knew I was supposed to return alone. I found myself in a new country, with no demands on my time. Without my children to take care of I found myself and was allowed to go within my soul and let it guide me. It told me what to do next. So I just sat for a while and I heard my deceased son guiding me, telling me so clearly that this is what he wanted for me, to have time for myself, to sit and love every part of who I am” she explains.

She instinctively felt she wanted to explore Bali’s temples and discover more about her new island home. “I visited a temple every day, it was never a plan, it just felt like the next thing I was meant to do. I had no idea how much they would affect me as I went through the rituals and felt the energy’, she tells us. Amy has now created online programs that take her clients on a journey to experience healing all through Bali’s temples.

Raising your own vibration.

“All my work is about bringing people back into full alignment with their soul, it’s not what you need to add, it’s what you need to release to discover what is within. I’ve created a 30-day program that centers around the healing energy I have tapped into here on the Island of the Gods – Bali, and invite groups of women from anywhere in the world to join me as I take them through a journey so they can start returning to themselves through a divine rebirth,” she says.

“I know that I am in the right place for what needs to happen next. When I hit an obstacle, I don’t allow myself to think about it as an obstacle, instead, I see it as a message to slow down and trust that the universe has my back. I lean into my glow and use all the lessons I have learned to live divinely, guide divinely, and support divinely at all times.”

When a Simple Gesture Turns a Difficult Day Around

Some days feel hard in ways that are difficult to explain. A person may be dealing with illness, stress, grief, or plain exhaustion, and even the smallest task can feel bigger than usual. From the outside, it may not always be clear what to do. Still, one thoughtful act can shift the mood of the whole day.

That idea is easy to miss in a busy world. People are used to quick texts, rushed check-ins, and good intentions that never quite turn into action. Yet the gestures people remember most are usually simple. A handwritten note. A meal that shows up at the right time. A small gift that says someone thought ahead.

These moments matter because they make a person feel less alone. They do not fix everything, but they change the emotional temperature. They soften the day. They create a pause in the middle of stress, and that pause can mean more than people expect.

Why Small Acts of Kindness Feel So Powerful

When someone is going through a rough patch, support works best when it feels easy to receive. That is part of why a thoughtful get well care package can stand out. It does not ask much from the person receiving it. It simply arrives with comfort, warmth, and a quiet message of care.

That message matters. According to the CDC, social isolation and loneliness are linked to serious physical and mental health risks. Feeling supported is not just emotionally nice; it plays a real role in overall well-being. A caring gesture can remind someone that they are still connected to others, even on a day when life feels narrow and heavy.

There is also something powerful about specific care. A generic “hope you feel better” may be appreciated, but a practical, thoughtful gesture tends to land differently. It shows attention. It tells the recipient that someone slowed down long enough to think about what might actually help.

That could mean comfort food, a cozy blanket, tea, soup, or a short note with the right words at the right time. It could also mean sending something that helps a person rest without making another decision. On difficult days, reducing stress is often just as meaningful as offering encouragement.

The emotional effect of that kind of support can last far beyond the moment itself. People may forget what was said in a hard week, but they usually remember how others made them feel. A kind gesture says, “You do not have to carry this day by yourself.” That feeling can last for a long time.

Thoughtful Support Works Better Than Big Support

One reason small gestures work so well is that they do not need to be dramatic. In fact, the best support is often the least complicated. It does not draw attention to itself. It does not demand a big response. It simply meets a need with care.

That makes a difference in both personal and professional settings. In families and friendships, thoughtful support builds trust. In business, it can strengthen relationships in a way that feels human instead of transactional. Clients, coworkers, and partners notice when kindness feels genuine.

A large gift can sometimes miss the mark if it feels too polished or too distant. A smaller gesture with a personal touch often feels more sincere. Timing matters too. The right support at the right moment will usually mean more than something larger that arrives late or feels generic.

Health experts also note that giving can benefit the person who offers support. Cleveland Clinic cites research showing that helping others can lower stress and support emotional well-being. That helps explain why kind gestures often feel meaningful on both sides. The person receiving care feels seen, and the person giving it gets to turn empathy into action.

There is another reason thoughtful support matters. Many people struggle to ask for help, especially when they are used to being dependable for everyone else. A gesture that arrives without pressure can break through that pattern. It gives the recipient permission to pause, rest, and accept care without having to explain or organize it.

That is often what turns a hard day around. Not a big speech. Not perfect timing. Just one clear sign that somebody noticed.

What People Remember After the Hard Part Passes

Most people do not remember every detail of a difficult season. They remember the moments that made it easier to breathe.

They remember the friend who sent something warm and comforting. They remember the colleague who checked in without making it awkward. They remember the family member who helped practically, rather than saying, “Let me know if you need anything” and leaving it at that.

Those moments stay with people because they feel personal. They show care in a form that can be felt right away. They also create a ripple effect. One act of kindness often inspires another, which is how support grows in families, teams, and communities.

That is what makes simple gestures so valuable. They are not small in impact, only small in scale. On a difficult day, that can be exactly what someone needs most.

The Gesture That Changes More Than a Moment

A hard day does not always call for a grand solution. Sometimes it calls for one thoughtful interruption, something warm, useful, and kind enough to remind a person they are not alone.

That is why small gestures matter so much. They bring comfort without noise. They create connections without pressure. They stay in a person’s memory long after the moment has passed. Whether it is a note, a meal, or a carefully chosen get well care package, the right gesture can do more than brighten a day. It can help someone feel cared for when they need it most.
