¶ Knowledge vs. Action: The Gym Metaphor
How many times have you bought a gym membership and never used it ? In my lifetime Mm-hmm At least twice , and they were both 24-hour fitness and they loved to take my business yeah this was a long time ago , but I actually , I think , was on your plan and I used to go more than you did because I would go to the classes .
The dance classes yeah .
Yeah , the Zumbas and the dance classes and the Pilates , and I really like those . And I will even say that we bought into all the benefits of having a gym at our own house , even Correct . And then there were times where both of us did not use it at all , like I'm talking state-of-the-art gym in your house .
It was the cleanest room in the house because it got cleaned and never used for like months .
It got created and then not used . Correct , yes , and to the point where it was like maybe we should get rid of all this equipment because , by the way , nobody's using it .
No , Until my back went out , which reminded me oh yeah , your back went out because you asked to do something that it wasn't . Back went out because you asked to do something that it wasn't prepared to do , because you weren't working out . Yeah .
So you weren't working out , even though you knew that's good for your body , it's good for your mental health , good for your sleep . You had already bought into the fact . You went all over the place , picked up equipment . You did all of this work , all over the place , picked up like equipment .
You did all of this work and that was like to embody a physical fitness . I had the workout plans . I had all the materials .
The TV , the sound system . I had everything that I needed to move forward except for the action . Yes , and that is what over and over again , I see in my coaching business . I see what over and over again I see in my coaching business . I see it over and over again in consulting stuff that I do on social media .
It's this idea of I want this thing or I know this thing and then not doing the thing or not embodying the thing , correct , yeah . So we're going to talk all about embodiment today . Let's do this it's going to be very exciting . I'm super excited . Are you excited ?
I'm very excited . I feel like this concept is what literally has brought us to the microphone .
Yes , well , tell me something about that .
Well , I will tell you that we live in a day and age , really . A day and age , a day and age where we're literally flooded with information we all have smartphones in our pockets we could find the answers to any question that we ever needed .
Books , podcasts .
Everything , everything and yet Reels Collectively TikToks , we're still not doing all that great . Yeah , experts . And why is that ?
I mean , that is the question right .
That is the question .
We have all of this information , but are we doing anything with the information ?
That is correct . It's the difference between reading a book and then applying
¶ Understanding Embodiment: Knowledge Becomes Instinct
the information . Actually , it's the difference between buying a book and actually reading a book .
Yeah , like knowing something and actually embodying . It is what we're going to be talking about today , because you don't become empowered by what you know . You become empowered by how you live what you know .
Ooh , I like that . That's how you live , what you know , that's beautiful , okay , chloe .
So let's talk about how knowing is not doing . Yeah , because knowledge is important , but without action it's just mental clutter , Correct ? So a factoid for you .
I like factoids .
The average person consumes over 100,000 words of information per day , according to Forbes .
100,000 words of information per day , according to Forbes , but studies show only 10% of that information is retained without action or engagement 10% , and I totally agree with that and I feel like the key word is consumes right .
We're consuming information , we are consumers and we have no problem consuming information right .
What we need to do is apply that information .
Yes .
That's the difference . Hey , I got a quote in my pocket that applies here . Oh , my God . This is from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe . I don't know if I pronounced Goethe . I love the quote , though . He says knowing is not enough , we must apply . Willing is not enough .
We must enough , we must apply . Willing is not enough , we must do Action , we need action . It's really crazy , because you could memorize every self-help , self-development , personal development book in existence and still feel stuck , because information without integration is just noise .
It's just noise , exactly , and there's so , so , so , so , so much noise on here .
So much noise so much noise .
Well , I like to talk a little bit about kind of focusing on what embodiment actually means . Right , we're talking about action .
What is it ? Yeah , let's talk about it .
But embodiment is really when knowledge becomes instinct right , it's felt in the body , it's practiced daily , becomes instinct , right , it's felt in the body , it's practiced daily , it's visible in your actions , your energy , your choices .
When you decide to apply information that you got somewhere , be it a diet , be it a new way of working out , do it how you raise your kids . The embodiment , basically , is when you take that information and you make a game plan as to how you're going to move forward .
Yeah , when you ritualize it Correct . It's like a lot where people get stuck on the how .
There's a study out of Harvard that found that learning paired with physical action or emotional engagement creates new neural pathways at a faster rate than passive consumption . So when we're talking about passive consumption , that's literally consuming .
That's literally the scroll Right exactly .
And it's funny because they're using the same word twice passive and consumption right .
See , like I'm a scroller , but then I save the scroll , thinking that I'm going to go back to the thing that I just learned on TikTok or Instagram or wherever you're you know wherever you're scrolling YouTube Shorts and you're like , oh , I'm going to save this , I'm going to look at this later because , like , I'm going to retain this at some point .
And you think like , oh , this is really good . And like how many times have you saved something on any social media platform and then not looked at ?
it . That is correct , but I like what you were talking about . Is you find something ? So , if you use social media , if you use the news , I take a little action , exactly . But if you use it to seek out information , you're no longer a passive consumer , you're an active consumer .
Right , and I do end up . I now have created a practice where I take that little reel or TikTok and I Don't you look at me when I talk to you .
Sometimes your gaze is too much Zuri .
I get that a lot . I'm a little bit Medusa .
Oh , there's the fire , don't look too much .
But now I take it a little step further . I was saying and you weren't listening I was saying I take it a step further and I now am like using it and being like oh okay , I want to look back at the things that I saved in this week .
So now I have a practice on Sundays where I look at what I've saved to retain it , because sometimes I'm passively scrolling and then actively scrolling and now I add it to a ritual where I can actually put it into my brain .
Well , I also want to thank you for teaching me how to actually search for things on Instagram , and actually TikTok is what got me , because I'd go into TikTok looking for something and I'd spend three hours scrolling for one thing and you're like no , just type it in , Like oh , I didn't know there was a search for like the first two months .
I was like what the hell this ?
is all . Social media has a search and , um , you know like it should be used for you to find what you're actually looking for , and also like some of the algorithms are better but , like tiktok , for example , if you put in what you are looking for , it will start serving that content to you more often .
It uses your search as a way of building out your For you page and whatever you interact with . So you've got to be careful . You can't just be interacting with shit that you don't care about , because if you do , it's going to give you more of that Correct , and now a lot of platforms have the not interested or block or don't serve and stuff like that .
So , yeah , we're digressing .
No , that's actually right in alignment . I mean you're becoming more of a discerning user , right , you are seeking information to embody . It's different from just collecting information and consuming information , than not even using it .
Yeah , like my Instagram workouts or my TikTok workouts like saving them and then not using them and then not doing them , it's like wait , you have to actually do the exercise and not just save the workout .
Exactly I mean how many times have you read a self-help book or a self-love book ? And you know you can , you can describe and , and to great detail about self-love , right , you know , you know what it means , but until you actually apply that information , you set boundaries and you speak kindly to yourself and you live in alignment .
you're not inviting it , you're just collecting information , yeah , and a lot of people are like , oh yeah , I practice self-love . And it's like , okay , how , how are you practicing self-love ? And then they're just totally stumped .
Well , I'm reading this book .
I love myself and it's like , okay , how are you actively embodying that ?
What are your self-love practices and habits ? Well , embodiment is when your body , your mind and your spirit are all on the same page . It's wisdom in motion . I like that Wisdom in motion , wisdom in motion . And in order for that to happen , there has to be a two-part process Right .
Right .
You seek and then you apply .
Yes , so let's play a game . We're going to play a little game based on word association . Mike just asked me to pause before the game because he already started laughing . I love these
¶ The M Game: Exploring Empowering Words
games . He's like pause Okay . Behind the scenes Ready Go , go . So we're playing this game . It's a game that's like a word association . Why should we call this game ?
It's the M Game , m Game .
Okay , this is the M game , but Not the end , but the M game . The M game . And it's a word , nerd , it's a word nerd , m is basically a prefix . Mike and I are both word nerds because I'm a lyricist and he's a poet , so we are word nerds . Just join us . Come to the fun side of the island .
We're going to have some fun , right now I'm over here playing with my vowels .
Okay , to the fun side of the island . We're going to have some fun . Right now I'm over here playing with my vowels , okay . Well , I'm playing with a prefix today . Okay , this prefix , m , comes from the Greek and Latin origins meaning in into within or to cause to be Okay . It often signals transformation , movement or a state of being .
So let's talk about M , e-m Everybody on the same page , ready , all right , okay . So we're talking about embodiment , okay . And embodiment comes from the word embody , right , yeah ? Which means to give form to something intangible . It's about making an idea , a belief or an energy real . It's living it , expressing it , being it .
It's not just knowing something , it's becoming it .
Correct . I love that .
So we're going to play this game where I'm going to have three words .
Three M words .
Three M words and I'm going to talk about what they mean , how to embody those words .
Got it . So three M words , I feel like you have something sneaky .
No , I don't have anything sneaky , no Famous last words . As soon as you get that little , look on your face and you're like no the drama , it's like the lie is big . The higher the pitch , the bigger the lie .
I can't control it , let's get into it .
No , you can't control it . You're just embodying all the joy and laughter and fun of a little kid .
The foreplay of this game is just too much . Let's get into it .
The foreplay is too much .
I'm too sensitive .
It's too fast , too soon . Okay , for example , just so everyone knows how to play this game , play along with us Empower Posse . Let's use empower . Okay . Empower to embody . Empower is to give strength or authority . Okay , so that's how you would play this game .
Got it Okay .
All right , so you go first , because you're really jumping at the bit .
So I have to come up with an M word , okay .
Yeah , so an E-M word .
One of my favorite is , I would say , to embolden .
Embolden .
Embolden . I don't use embolden quite often , However . I embold people on a regular basis and embolden basically is to make someone brave or confident . Oh we could have been . Oh guess what ? We could have been the emboldenment couple .
Emboldenment . Is it emboldenment no ?
Think of bold . Bold is a root word . Yes , emboldenment . I don't know if it's or emboldened .
Yeah , emboldened , that's what I was going to say . It's or emboldened yeah .
Emboldened company . That's what I was going to say . It's not emboldement , emboldementsments , emboldestness .
No , okay , so what is it ? Emboldened , emboldened , emboldened couple .
To make someone brave or competent . What do ?
you got ? I don't know , it doesn't have the same ring . No , no , no .
We chose wisely , I think we chose wisely Wait but who ?
chose wisely .
We did Uh-huh Okay . I'm like who .
All right , Speaking of you know , work , work , work , work , work , work and twerk . My word is employ , Ooh , Employ . Employ it's like I employed you to be on this podcast . No , employ is to put something into use . So , like a person , when you hire them , for example , you're putting their talents into use .
Correct .
And it's an action . It's them doing the action . Ooh , yonks , gosh darn it . You like it .
I wish I had something better . But guess what I do ? I'm going to go for embark . Uh-oh , embark is to start a journey or undertaking .
So what I'm dealing with and I'm hanging out with and not hanging out with , but when I'm working with my clients , a lot of the times I'm helping them embark on a journey towards self-discovery , a journey towards better health , with their partners , their loved ones .
It's a difference between counseling and coaching is that with coaching , you embark on the application process .
Correct , we're in the canoe at the same time .
Like counseling . They're just listening to you . The therapist or whatever the counselor is listening to you , whereas a coach is like , oh no , homeboy , we're getting in the canoe , we're going to do this together .
Hold the oar like this and dip it into the water . See , it gets some momentum .
So embark , I love it Okay .
What's your third and final ?
Have I done three .
Yes , you did .
Okay , okay , okay , well , shoot , I have a handful here . Which one should I pick ? I'm going to emphasize , emphasize , emphasize . I like that You're looking at me like it doesn't work . I was like , wait , what Don't do that , oh my God . Emphasize To put weight into something's importance .
So why this is interesting is , when you emphasize , you are adding action to no . Emphasize is good because it allows you to provide . Why are you keep looking at this ? No , no , no , I'm waiting for you .
You're not waiting for me it provides perspective .
Right , emphasizing something that was overseen or underseen gives someone a new perspective . Okay , right , I like that Because you're really excited about your third one so you just shit all over my third one .
I didn't shit . Yeah , you did . You're like . No , I was watching you and you were floundering and I helped you out , you , son of a bitch .
Okay , so my last one is ML , and it's basically the transference of digital documents .
It's what .
ML or email .
That's what you're waiting for this whole time . It was funny when I thought of it . I'm dying . He can't breathe . This is how you know he's a dad . His jokes are so bad and he's the only one laughing M-ail .
M-ail M-ail . No , it's email . I'm just messing with you .
It's not good .
Actually , I have something better . You didn't have anything else .
You really wanted that to land . Oh , that's so cute .
Okay , I'm going to go for embellish . On the real embellish , just like you did with that really bad joke , to make something more attractive by adding decorations , and sometimes I have to embellish people's lives so they get to know just how good they have it .
And just how good they are . Correct , yeah , by the way , my outfit I embellished my PJs with this jacket and this hat . Earlier I had on some bling bling because , like , why not , you know ?
That outfit makes me want to impregnate you . Oh , guess what ? There's another . M word .
Look at , you're just ruining this whole thing , the editing I will have to do . Anyway , that was a fun game .
That was a good game , do you ?
have another one , because you look real excited .
No , no , no , no , I shot my load with email . It was good times . I was having a hard time controlling that one . It was such a good one .
You could see it was okay . I mean , I don't know , employ , emphasize , what did I say ? Embody , empower , mm-hmm Well .
Right now .
Embrace .
Right now I'm getting hungry and I feel like I'm suffering from being emaciated .
And I'm going to emulate throwing up on all of your jokes today . You know , in sign language , when they do the throw up sign , I'm going to you know what emulate is to imitate . I'm embarrassed to imitate or strive to match . So the throw up sign is perfect for your jokes . I'm matching your jokes with my physical reaction .
I'm emulating vomit you emptied out your , your intestinal tract well , I hope that we embossed some amazing laughter and fun into your day with this game .
That is correct .
And I'm going to emphasize the importance of laughing as much as possible , at every point possible , so that we can embark on this journey and embrace every single moment with joy .
Okay , let's get back down to the show .
Swear , we are sober , swear we are sober 100% . Just high on life . Okay , so we're going to talk about why we get stuck in knowledge mode and this is going to help
¶ Why We Get Stuck in Knowledge Mode
. Okay , so the key thing to understand is that most people stay in the fact collector zone because it's safe Ooh , the safe zone . Embodiment requires vulnerability , discipline and oftentimes discomfort .
That is correct .
And what does our brain hate more than anything ?
Discomfort .
Discomfort , like it will do everything to avoid being uncomfortable . Oh , for sure , For sure Well there's a Stanford study showed that that people who engage in intellectual learning without practice overestimated their ability to change by 40% .
And you know what that overestimation is ? A fucking buzzkill , right when you're like , oh , this time next month I'm going to be doing this and doing that , doing this , and then when it doesn't happen , it's a double hit .
Yeah , I always like I had these moments in early adulthood where people would say like , oh well , that's going to take you like three years , and I was like what are you talking about ?
And like manifesting generator personality , I was like I can do that in three months , you know , and not realizing that they're actually right , and sometimes I could cut it in half because I am fast at certain things .
But you know , and I manifest and stuff like that , and I'm like , oh , I'm playing with a different energy field and I have like this cockiness , but actually , like you really have to do a lot of action in order for things even manifesting . Even manifesting , we'll talk more about that . But here's a good factoid . The Dunning-Kruger effect often shows up here .
The more you know , the more you think you've arrived . But without embodiment , growth plateaus .
So I have arrived several times in my life , right ? I get to a point where I'm like , oh yeah , I've totally figured this out , I get it and I haven't arrived anywhere , right ? Yep , I just got a little bit more comfortable being somewhere .
Yep , but it comes down to this , like if information was the answer , we'd all be billionaires with perfect abs .
Oh yes .
That's from Derek Zippers .
I like how you just pull these quotes out of your pocket , that's nice yeah . Your pockets have deep quotes .
But it happens a lot in my coaching business . People are like oh yeah , I know that , oh yeah , I learned that , and it's like , yes , you really haven't learned something until you've embodied it , until you've put it into application , until it's part of your habits .
It's part of your habits , it's part of who you are as a person , and the universe will match that .
It's not what you know , but what you do . Yeah . So if you're active in the process of redoing your life or in the process of up-leveling your education or something that is actually what you're doing , yeah , and the pattern is that most people want to feel better without doing better .
Correct . That's where facts fail and embodiment wins .
Wins , and what we're looking for are wins .
Yes , right , we want win after win after win , integration baby .
So the next segment really is going to be about how to move from knowing to embodiment .
Yes
¶ Moving from Knowing to Embodiment
, let's do it .
So we're going to talk a little bit more about some actual practices . Right ? So you have what is called the integration time , right ? So after learning something , you have to apply it immediately .
Yeah , this is where , like , the scrolling thing doesn't totally work . That's why I'm like I started revisiting it , Like when you know , like this exercise program that I like saved . I'm like I started revisiting it , Like when you know , like this exercise program that I like saved . I'm like , oh , I want to learn how to do that dance mover .
Oh , I want to learn how to do this , Like , and I'd save it . And then I'd scroll to the next thing A couple of minutes later , save something else . And it's like , wait a minute , if I'm never going to look at these , this is ridiculous . Like , why am I even looking at this ? Content Correct , so you have to apply it immediately .
You have to apply it immediately or set time aside that you're going to actually apply it .
Correct , even if the action is tiny like what you said . You know what I'm going to make time tomorrow to check this out . I'm going to make time tomorrow to call this number . I'm going to make time , you know , put it in your schedule . Whatever you can do to make it to add some momentum , the better . Then you have your practices right .
So you have your daily micro practices . Habits and these are small , consistent actions that align you , step-by-step , with what you're looking for .
Right , and sometimes they're baby steps and sometimes they become , you know , more complex , like a habit stack , for example . That would be a complex way of putting it into practice . It's like , okay , I only have so much time in the day . I'm going to do my mind food at the same time as my workout for example . Okay , let's talk about body awareness .
Okay . So , of course , with body awareness , you want to use your breath work , you want to use movement . You need to do some sort of somatic exercises so that you are in constant connection with your body , with your heart . Get into your body , get into your heart , and that will allow you to move faster , because what's going to slow you down is your ego .
It's the mind that will slow you down .
Yeah , your mind Every time . Get in your head , you're dead . Start with your heart instead . So your breath work and your somatic practices which somatic practices would be breath work those are going to allow your nervous system to get into a rhythm of action . So , that's when you're actually applying something that you have learned .
If you know you're meant to meditate , that would be a practice . If you know you're meant to practice deep breathing . That would be a practice . Body awareness is massive . What else ?
There's accountability and reflection . This is like you know . You're journaling . This is where coaching comes in , or some sort of community check-in that you're connected with .
Yeah , yep , and then slowing down with your information consumption like you used that word earlier because embodiment requires digestion , correct . So you sometimes think that you know something . All of us me , mike we all have experiences where we think we know it and then we keep learning the same lesson again .
A big one for me is like boundaries Like I think I have amazing boundaries and then all of a sudden I'm getting like totally leeched on by another energy vampire because I had compassion for what they were going through , right . So it's like my patterns are because I haven't learned how to embody them in every situation and like you haven't really learned it .
Until the universe stops challenging you with it to a point where you're not challenged , you're just like , oh no , that's a no .
I like also what you said in regards to requires digestion . It reminded me of a time where I was consuming books via Audible , like over and , over and , over and over again , and I got . I was , I don't know , reading , listening to a book a week , bare minimum .
And I got to a point the other day when I was like , oh , I'm going to get back into Audible because I was listening to music for a while . So I'm going to get back into Audible and I started going through all the books that I read and a lot of them I don't remember because I didn't .
Take time to digest them .
I didn't take time to digest .
And you were probably habit stacking you . I didn't take time to digest them . I didn't take time to digest and you were probably habit stacking . You're like I'm going to listen to this while I'm doing dishes Correct , and then you weren't taking notes .
And there is a lot of neuroscientists that say there's no such thing as multitasking , which I love to multitask , but they believe that because you can only do a certain amount of tasks . Well , really , one task at a time is how to execute .
I agree , and here's what I'll say about that is the more tasks that I'm doing , the more in my head I am right , the less in the heart I am , which reminds me of a Sue proverb that says the longest journey you will ever take is from your head to your heart . Journey you will ever take is from your head to your heart .
Now , when I can do one thing at a time and put my heart into it , that's going to be spectacular .
Yes , coherence is really an under-taught thing . Getting your mind and your heart to be in coherence together is super powerful .
Well , extrapolate just a little bit on the coherence together is super powerful .
Well , extrapolate just a little bit on the coherence . Well , how I talk about coherence is that our heart is just an organ the same as our brain , is just an organ . Our heart was first . It was made first , right . So just scientifically speaking , our heart came first . Okay , it was made first , right . So just scientifically speaking , our heart came first .
Okay , and so the heart has to . The heart can outlive the brain , meaning many people can live and they'll , they're brain dead . Right , but the brain can't live without the heart , correct , because the heart comes first .
And so when people say like , follow your heart , it's because your heart has to lead all things , because your heart is not afraid , your heart doesn't want to keep you in your safety zone , your heart is not mad . When people say that you have a broken heart , it's because you're thinking of a memory or a thing that makes your heart feel the emotions .
Your heart is like your master organ . It has its own brain and it has its own purpose . And it's really what's connected to your soul . So when your brain and your heart are in alignment , you are unstoppable , because your brain can be powerful , but it can work as a tool against you or for you , and it's just an organ .
So that's how I like to think of coherence is that when they work together , unstoppable . But oftentimes what's happening is they're working against each other . Like you know , if you get into your head and you then become depressed , if you get into your head and you then become depressed , your heart is likely .
It's likely because of non-movement , your heart is not pumping . If you get into your head and you know you're anxious .
It's because you are thinking of the future and possibly , what's happening with your heart is that you aren't taking a deep breath and , furthermore , right . Furthermore , the term is embody .
Yes .
Right . So usually , when you talk about your body , you're talking about your torso , which is where your heart lives .
It's where all of your major organs , aside from your brain , we're not talking about in mind . Yeah .
Right , we're not talking about in ego , we're not talking about in mental , we're talking about if you want to actually assimilate it into your life , you have to bring it into your body , you have to bring it into your heart .
Yeah , Mind , body and spirit is what a lot of people say , and you need to focus on your body first and then the rest will follow suit . Like when you go for a walk , your mind clears for a reason because it's following your heart .
So , going back to you know , don't over consume information . You got to stop trying to learn more and start trying to live more of what you already know .
Exactly . Apply what you already know . The challenge would be for the Empowered Posse this week is to embody one thing that you have learned from the Empowerment Couple podcast . One thing , whether it's movement medicine or it's laughter medicine , like take one of our medicine episodes and imply it , like and apply it , not imply and apply it .
We are implying that you need to Employ it , you can .
Employ it , you can employ it but embody it . So , like you know , we have one about hugging , we have one about skin to skin , like basically , take something that you have learned from us and embody it and do it for 30 to 60 days .
And you apply it . By what A habit ?
A habit , embody anything that you have learned . That is positive , that you know . You're like oh , that's the linchpin that's going to unlock me , because we all have them . We all have these keys , these locks , and we all have these keys that we know .
Usually , you know , you know the answer of what's missing , like , oh , I'm not moving enough or oh , I'm complaining too much .
Whatever the thing is , you have officially become comfortable with being uncomfortable .
Exactly so . For example , like in our Hold the Vibe course , I talk a lot about thoughts , you know , and mindset , and you know thinking , and a lot of times manifestation coaches are teaching only about like one part of the universal laws . You know , like the law of attraction .
Oh , if you think good thoughts and it's not just thinking good thoughts manifesting , if you're thinking good thoughts and your body is feeling like shit , you are not going to manifest anything because you have to embody those good feeling thoughts , those good feeling .
If they're not producing a feeling , if you're not envisioning them as if they are real and you're not creating coherence or you know , like we were just talking about , but if you aren't creating energy in your body , that's a match to what you're looking for , like the outcome that you are seeking , that's a match to what you're looking for , like the outcome that
you are seeking , if your nervous system is all tight because it's like , oh gosh , I got to have the thing , whatever , like I need to get another client , or whatever you're manifesting , whatever you're working on .
If your body is constantly feeling the lack , or if you're manifesting a partner and you're constantly feeling in your body lonely , like the lack of touch and the lack of , you know , just the warmth of a person near you or the energy of like having that partner .
If you're feeling that in your nervous system you are not a match , because your body is an instrument , correct , and your body is going to resonate with however it's being played as an instrument , as an instrument Correct and your body is going to resonate with however it's being played as an instrument .
As an instrument , and so you're either going to be in harmony or disharmony or discord , with whatever you're looking to attract , whatever you're looking to be a match for . So your alignment won't work if you aren't an embodiment of that .
That is correct . It's the same thing as saying you become a match of what you want .
You have to marry the good thinking with the embodiment , and then you know , apply some action , take inspired action and you know and then allow , and a lot of people make it super complex . Most things that you want to learn , that you want to master , are very simple , but the reason why people don't master them is because they don't embody them .
And I agree with you they just learn , learn , learn , learn , learn .
Get all these certifications and then they're never a master of anything because they're looking everywhere outside instead of looking inside of like . Okay , it's time to put this into practice . It's a difference between information and transformation . The difference is implementation .
Okay , yes , that is correct . I love that
¶ Transform Information into Transformation
. Say that one more time .
The difference between information and transformation is implementation , that's it . That's implementation , that's it . That's it . That's it . That's the sauce .
So nothing makes it into your life until you put it there . Implementation you have to implement , you got to put it on your plate .
It's spelled differently , but it is implementation Spelled with an I .
That is correct . It's spelled with an I because it has a P in front of it . That's another weird little grammar thing .
Whatever , and let me just tell you this Knowledge is the spark , embodiment is the flame .
Is the freaking flame , motherfucking , flame . Flame it up honey .
Alright , we're burning it all down Phoenix energy . Mm-hmm . Let's learn one more time and embody it . This time you got to do a little body roll . When you do it , embody it .
That's nice , you like it , that's nice , that's nice .
We'll have to do it real . I have a request for you Empowered Posse . Okay , what I would like is take a screen grab of this episode , tag us on social and tell us what you learned about embodiment , or tell us what you are going to embody for the next 30 , 60 days . You set the time frame . You know you .
You know how long it takes you to create a habit . Habits , there we go , I can tell you about science . Science says 21 days , other scientists say 60 . You decide how long you want to commit to putting this into practice and embody something positive that's going to empower you to be your best self .
And don't forget the benefit of baby steps . Yes , this process doesn't have to be your best self . And don't forget the benefit of baby steps yes , this process doesn't have to be overwhelming . It can be beautiful every step of the way .
And it doesn't have to be perfect .
It just has to be .
You just have to embody it , just embody it .
You can take a baby step as long as you're taking a step .
Okay , kisses , sending you the highest vibrations .
You are held
