Hello hello hello
Welcome back friends
How are you doing?
I have to be honest
People have been asking me that lately
And I just say
I’m living the dream …
Lol..
So many changes going on right now
And I have to tell you
It doesn’t always feel great
But you know what
Its a good thing to pay attention to that
Because
Your feelings tell you a lot my friend
And a lot of times I talk about
Thought work
And thinking on purpose
And deciding what to think
But you know what the next level is?
Really paying attention to how you are feeling
And I’m not talking about indulging in things like worry and overwhelm
I’m talking about
Paying attention to how you really feel
Like listening to the internal voice
That tells you when enough is enough
What I see is
A lot of us are pretty good at either
Powering through
Work work work
And not take the time to ask yourself
What is it you REALLY want?
Is it time for a change?
What happens if you make that change?
It usually feels scary
Right?
Sometimes its easier
To just thought work yourself out of it
Thought work yourself out of
Out of not trusting what you really want
Trusting yourself is everything friend
A lot of times we look to the external sources for our answers
I assure you –
We won’t find them there
They are within each of us
Isn’t it a Wizard of Oz quote
That somehow goes
You have always had the power
You just had to learn it for yourself
It’s true
And sometimes that learning
Doesn’t always feel like rainbows daisies and butterflies
I mean listen
Of course you can ask for advice
Feedback
friends takes on things
But don’t discount what you want
Like your hearts desire
Meaning
What you truly want – or no longer want
But here is the thing
We are all running around
Like chickens with our heads cut off
Taking care of work
Taking care of the family maybe
Taking care of parents perhaps
And then you tell yourself
You don’t have time for things like
meditating lol.
I know – I used to say that as well…lol..
But you might be shocked how much something like taking even 2-5 minutes
To just be
Be still
Listen to what you are telling yourself
And in todays podcast
I’m more specifically talking about
Listening to your hearts desire
Not
The crap you might tell yourself
About not being or doing enough
I mean side note folks
Seriously
How often do we tell ourselves something is not enough
We wake up and say
I didn’t have enough sleep
Then you think of the day ahead
And tell yourself you don’t have enough time
And maybe your don’t make enough money
For all the work you are doing
Pay attention to that for sure
But for today
I want you to get still on
What you want in life
Just allow yourself to dream
If you don’t even take the time to do that
You will really have a hard time creating
Changes in your life
And change can be great
Especially change that you desire
That you choose
A lot of change happens in work right?
And we can manage our mind around all of it
And if you have followed me for any length of time
You know I am all about managing your mind
I sometimes think I’m a mind ninja finding ways
To see how things are happening FOR me
Vs asking why they are happening TO me
There is a difference
And all of that work is super important
But I want to encourage you to even go another layer deeper
Because taking those couple of minutes
can really make a difference in your life
To be able to see if what you are doing
Or
What you have been doing
Is what you want to keep doing
And you know what?
If the answer is a no
That’s ok
I always say
Do you like your reasons why?
Maybe you have managed your mind for years around something
And now
You just want a change
Because it’s time
And that’s ok
Courage my friend
Is having the fear
And still moving forward
Feeling fear doesn’t mean stop
It might actually mean you are heading in the right direction
Here’s something that might help
I’m asking myself more and more these days
What if ….
What if this idea could be even better than where I am now?
What if it all worked out in the best possible way?
What if the next best step is magical
What if …
Ask yourself the fun version of the possibilities
Don’t just believe your brain
When it tells you
Don’t do it
It will be terrible
You will die
They will not be happy
You will never make it
It’s crazy right?
Not really…
it’s how our brain is designed to keep us safe
What I’m suggesting is you pay attention
To you heart AND mind
And how maybe they could be friends dare I say
What if you listened to both
And paid attention to how you feel
When you consider all outcomes
It’s the feeling
That drives your actions or choices
It’s the feeling – or energy body some may say
That gets you to the new frequency in life
Yes – that is a bit woo woo
But I’m reading so many interesting books lately
That talk about the importance of
Taking action from the aligned feeling
NOT
Because you think you
Should
Or have to
Or need to
Or want to check the boxes
Now listen
Taking action from that mindset will get you new results
BUT
Are they the results YOU want?
Or the ones you think others expect of you?
You get one precious life friend
What do you want to do with it?
That is the question
So
To recap
Most of what I’m saying today is
Get still for a moment
If you are struggling with making a decision
Just allow yourself time to pay attention
To how you feel when you consider the possibilities
AND
Give yourself the time
To have equal airtime of both the “negative” and “positive” outcomes
Especially the positive outcomes
Then take the next best step
To get you there
AND
Don’t forget to have your own back once you make that decision
No wasted time and energy on telling yourself it was wrong
There is no upside to it
Honestly – at the end of the day
Believe in you
You are the one with the answers
You do know what to do
Ok friends
That’s what I have for you today
Let’s circle back next week
But for now
Stay healthy
And
Make it a great day
