Archangel Michael Helped Me Speak Up—Here’s How
Archangel Michael: My Secret Hype Man
Archangel Michael—the big protector, the “stand your ground” guy. But let’s be honest, I mostly treat him like my own personal hype man.
Picture this: I’m pacing, overthinking, about to bail on asking for a raise. I roll my eyes at myself and just think,
“Okay, Michael, hype me up. Don’t let me chicken out now.”
No candles, no chanting. Just me, my nerves, and a quick mental pep talk.
Real-Life Example (AKA: The Raise Situation)
I was ready to back out. Again.
Instead, I paused, took a breath, and basically texted Michael in my head:
“Dude, I need backup. Don’t let me wimp out.”
Did I suddenly feel like Wonder Woman? Nope. But I did feel a little less alone—and a little more like, “Okay, I can do this.”
How I Use Michael (No Angelic Experience Needed)
Before a big convo:
“Michael, help me not say something awkward. Or if I do, help me laugh about it.”When I’m spiraling:
“Michael, give me a reality check. And maybe a little courage?”When I want to ghost instead of speak up:
“Michael, nudge me. Hard.”
Why This Works for Me
It’s not about being holy or perfect. It’s about having a go-to “person” (real or imaginary) to call in when I need a pep talk.
Sometimes it’s just the act of asking for help that makes me braver. Sometimes it’s picturing Michael rolling his eyes and saying, “You’ve got this. Go.”
Try It: The Michael Method
Pause.
Take a breath before you bail.Send the Mental Text:
“Michael, hype me up. Don’t let me back down.”Do the Thing:
Speak up, even if you’re shaky.Celebrate (even if you just tried):
High five yourself. Or Michael. Or both.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a script, a candle, or a belief system. You just need a moment, a mental text, and a little backup from your favorite hype man—Archangel Michael.
