¶ Finding Clarity and Taking Action
Welcome back to the show . Thank you so much for joining me today . Last week , it came to me that I needed to do a mini series called when Do you Begin , and we're going to dive right into that today , because that is the most common question that I'm asked how and where do I even begin ?
I'm unhappy , I feel miserable , I don't like my life , I don't like my job , I'm unhappy in my relationship and I just want to feel better . Isn't there supposed to be more Like ? Is this what life is really supposed to be like ? And no , it's not . It is not supposed to be like that , and I truly believe in taking action .
We can talk about all the things that we may want to change or we may want different in our life , but if we don't actually do anything about it , nothing is going to change .
So I'm going to be very honest with you and , in my opinion , the answer to the question of where do I begin is you start by getting truly honest with yourself about where you're at in your life , and we are not always honest with the people in our life . When someone asks you hey , how are you doing ?
Your response is probably oh , I'm great , oh , I'm fine , oh , things are great . We just we're not always honest about it because we don't feel safe . We don't always feel safe to do that . To be completely and totally honest , when people ask how we are or you know what's going on how are you doing ? How honest are you when people ask you that question ?
But I'm going to ask you to ask yourself that question how am I doing ? How am I really and where am I at ? Because getting completely honest with yourself is the most important , because this is your life . This is your life . It's not anybody else's .
And you can gloss things over with people around you or whoever's asking you those questions your significant other , your friend , your parents , your kids , whoever is asking you that question , you can blow it off . But you can't do that when you're talking to yourself .
Because whatever you're choosing to do in your life if you choose to leave your job , if you choose to move , if you choose to leave your relationship , if you choose to end a friendship , whatever you're choosing you will always take yourself with you . Let me say that again you always take yourself with you .
So if we don't work on and figure out what's going on within you because your outside world is a reflection of what's going on within you . If we look outside of ourself or our happiness , we're always going to be disappointed . So I'm going to invite you to sit down and really truly think and feel about those things in your life . Where are you at ?
Where are you at in your life with your career , with your relationship , with your relationship with your children , with your relationship with your significant other , with your relationship with your coworkers , with your boss , with your children and , honestly , your relationship with yourself ? Because the relationship you have with yourself is absolutely the most important .
It is the most important Because we are not feeling good within yourself . You are not going to show up . You're not going to show up for yourself , you're not going to show up for the people in your life , you're not going to show up the way you want to if you don't figure out what's going on within you .
But that starts with being completely and truly honest with yourself . I feel like it's really important that I remind you that there's nothing wrong with you . You're not broken , you don't need to be fixed .
But what we do want is for you to feel good and if you're not feeling good , if you're open to some ideas of things that could help you make some shifts so you feel a little bit better . That's the goal . We're not coming from a place of lack , like you're not exactly where you want to be . Everything is horrible .
It's what can we do within ourselves to maybe look at things through a different lens ? And it's not to suppress things , it's not to avoid them , it's not to run or escape . It's to be real and be honest with ourself , because the only way that you can really make a shift is by being honest with yourself and being open .
And are you open and curious and willing to try something new , maybe something different , to like your life a little bit more , maybe even love it ? So are you ready ? So grab a pen and some paper and have that next to you and we're going to just breathe for a moment , to kind of ground and center .
You don't have to shut off your brain , you don't have to shut off your mind , but we just want to take a moment to get centered . And we're going to start by take your left hand and put it on your heart , and take your right hand and put it on your lower stomach area and we're going to breathe .
We're just going to take a couple of breaths , so breathe in one , two , three , four and hold One , two , three , four and release One , two , three , four . Now I'm going to ask you a few questions to kind of tap in to your inner guidance and your intuition .
And when we do that , the first thought that comes into your mind that's kind and loving and peaceful and possibly unexpected , is going to be your intuition . If it is worrisome and frantic and chaotic , that is going to be your ego , your ego mind .
So the first question that I want you to ask yourself is when I'm feeling my best and my energy is high and I'm feeling good within my body , where am I at , what am I doing and who am I with ?
The second question is when I'm feeling low and my energy is low and my vibration is low and I'm feeling depleted , where am I at , what am I doing and who am I with ? And final question is if I'm being completely honest with myself on a soul level , what is it that I truly , truly want in my life and what needs to change to allow that to happen ?
So now I invite you to take a few minutes to just allow yourself to receive those answers and free rights , and just allow your pen to just flow onto the paper and then , after you finish that , take another deep breath and say to yourself I'm proud of myself for showing up today and taking a step .
This isn't going to change everything in your life overnight . It takes time , but the fact that you are still with me and you're open to some ideas that maybe you haven't heard of before or maybe they're repeat ideas , but the fact that you're here and you're with me , I appreciate that and I'm proud of you .
So I hope that you will spend the week with me and I've got some fun things in store for part two tomorrow . So be easy on yourself and be kind and just know that it's just one step at a time that helps to move us forward . So I promise to keep these short so that you could easily come back if you wanted to relisten and do the practice again .
But I hope you have a
¶ Slow and Steady Progress With Support
beautiful , beautiful day and I will see you tomorrow . Thanks so much love .
