Meet Ariel Celeste Johnson | Author, Innovator & Courage Enthusiast

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ariel Celeste Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ariel Celeste, what matters most to you?
The power of the tongue and the impact of my words. The cliche says the power of life and death resides in the tongue. However, it was not until I fully embraced the practice of affirmation setting that I saw for myself. Our word is law. We have the power to live any kind of life we desire. We are the gods in this game.

So, in understanding that my word is law I have the confidence and serenity to move through the day without fear. Each day, I rise early, say my core set of affirmations along with one that includes a prayer for the entire planet. “May this planet become more peaceful and prosperous each day. I allow this intention to flow like water.” I’m learning about the principle of earth management which dictates that if a few of us send positive thoughts out for the planet, bit by bit it will change!

This concept that words mean things was a hard one to grasp at first. However, the more I practiced, the more evident the truths started to become. The more my feelings started to calm and the clearer the answers to my next highest path started to emerge. We control the volume and the channel settings on the voice inside our heads.

I take my affirmation work seriously and have recognized this work as part of my soul mission here on earth. I am thankful for the gift of writing as I am able to author each chapter of my life with pristine clarity. I know that extending these universal truths across the world via the CCC Tiny Book of Affirmations card deck is going to place that power in the hands of so many “Star Players.” Affirmations are a starting point to life acceptance.

I appreciate the opportunity to elevate principles of social emotional learning and positive behavioral intervention systems via affirmation setting. The best part is the opportunity to build a collective body of poetry with people each day via the daily affirmations game. Playing the game is simple– just shuffle the deck to implant it with your unique energy then pull three cards at random. Consider those cards “today’s truths” and repeat them aloud.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
The most exciting thing about my art of affirmation authorship is that each one I write comes via special delivery from my higher self. I can only access my “affirmation creation station” when I am meditating or doing yoga. Occasionally, I may be inspired by parts of an uplifting lecture/podcast. However, the unique thing about my art as a writer is that my content is specifically curated from above to be channeled and delivered through me.

I got to where I am today by finally sitting still long enough to hear my true calling and having the gumption to answer the call. This was not an easy thing to do because I’d already been running my business delivering a totally different service for five years. I’d developed a brand that was hyper focused on career development. The shift to overall healing, self care and wellness was a huge decision. I am overcoming the challenge of this restart by believing in myself today like I did five years ago. I can trust this next chapter of my life because I know the author.

What I’d like the world to know about my brand and story is that I wouldn’t be here today if I didn’t wholeheartedly believe in the gift of willpower and the law of attraction. This affirmation work is the opportunity to broadly share the deep echoes of truths that are downloaded when I’m in my most positive state. It’s pretty cool that these words could potentially be flowing together in my mind from the recesses of the Akashic Records!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Oh, fun! If I had a friend visiting we would spend most of our time eating because Houston is a great city with good eats. Since brunch is my favorite meal, I’ll start there!

Nomad is a crowd favorite brunch spot because there is good food, lots of art decorations and an amazing DJ. I also really enjoy Prey for brunch, beautiful people, nice scenic decorations and friendly staff. I’d also recommend Quotes Willowbrook for a lively brunch that offers indoor or outdoor seating.

Beyond brunch- I am a super fan of active adventures. I’d visit the Houston aquarium, zoo, NASA, or a few museums. For a quiet moment, away from swag surfin’ brunches and tourist spots–I’d settle for a visit to Kindred Stories bookstore, Slowpokes Coffee Shop or Klein Coffee. All amazing places to read quietly or make a new friend.

For some light shopping to get right with all the vibe essentials, I’d bring my friend to Henry’s Place. There, they can get incense, sage, paulo santo, black soap, scented shea butters, etc. For dinner, I’d bring my friend to Thirteen by James Hardin, Redfish Grill or Claws HTX. Depending on how elevated or chill an experience they desire. Of course, since I’m a nature lover, I’d suggest a walking or bike trail- Pundt Park or Collins Park to burn off all the food!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have an amazing, supportive group of family, friends, fellow entrepreneurs and loyal clients who trust me to be myself and do the right thing. Any success that Celestial Content Creations has witnessed has been the culmination of encouraging nudges from my loved ones–ancestors especially. Every person who has ever shared a kind word about the brand or our results has sustained the business. Shifting gears to a less client-centric focus was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made to date as an entrepreneur.

I sincerely appreciate the rallying support around this new pivot from all my stakeholders. It’s the right thing to do and my client base, or my “Star Players” as I like to call them, are so incredibly understanding. For a while, I was helping by handing out one proverbial fish at a time with resume edits. After speaking to so many career seekers, I realized that it’s not writing skills they lack– it’s confidence. The only reason they lacked confidence is because of the negative mental falsehoods on loop in their minds. So affirmation setting is a new direction for dismantling the mental blocks we place in our minds. This is my way of “teaching man to fish” rather than handing out single fish plates.

Reversing the false narratives and jumpstarting the unlearning of limitations is work I am so proud to do!
