How to make a hard decision 🦋

live their most authentic life. Which had a variety of topics including mindset, business, relationships, health, and so much more. Basically, wherever you are on your journey, I want to help you feel inspired and empowered to rise up and conquer your next bold move. I know that's going to look different for everyone, but just no, I'm right here by your side and that you have the RNC community behind you. Let's do this. Hello and welcome back to the Rise

and Conquer Podcast. It is your host Georgie Stevenson, and today we have a solo EPP where we are chatting how to make hard life decisions. This is for someone if you're maybe at a crossroads, if you're struggling to know what you want. Maybe you're struggling to tap into your intuition and you're just like, someone tell me what to do. This episode is for you. It's going to

be a short one, but a good one. And so the inspiration for this episode was I was actually reading through my emails for advice with g which I get you guys to send an email and I do a little advice episode, which I was gonna do today. But I was reading all the emails, you know, copying paste the ones I was going to answer, and I just had this like overwhelming feeling of of just kind of like how I could answer them all and every single

question I kind of had the same response. And it was really about, you know, like I get asked these questions what should I do? And they explain their circumstances and this and that and what should I choose? And should I stay with my boyfriend? Should I not? Should

I leave my job? Should I not? And like when it comes down to it, and I know, like I get when you want to ask, you know, I get the polling, and polling is kind of you know, you ask your friends, you ask your family, but honestly, no one knows what to do accept yourself like you're inner intuition, your inner self, your inner compass knows exactly what to do. You just need to listen. You just need to get quiet, and you need to trust yourself. So yeah, this episode,

I just want to chat about that. I'm actually just gonna quickly close my door because I don't know if you guys can hear that traffic All right, I'm back. Yeah, So basically I want and it's it's interesting because I'm actually going through a kind of similar situation where I have been going through a couple of crossroads of you know, different decisions that have come up and where I'm deciding if I should you know, go a new way or done something I've always done, and just various things, and

so yeah, I wanted to dedicate this episodes. So the felt like the ultimate answer of how I make hard decisions or you know, when I'm at a crossroads is I asked myself, what would the next like, my next level self, what would she do in this decision? So this is going to be hard if you've never really fleshed out and explored your next level self. So that's

what I'm going to help you do. But that's I guess the basis where we want to go because our next level self is yeah, like literally our next level self. It's the person we're aspiring to become. It's the person who has you know, already manifested the things you want to manifest. It's the person who has already accomplished what

you want to accomplish. It's the person who you know got the pay rise, who was bold enough to start the business, who was bold enough to show it confidently and go after the thing and ask the person out, and you know that person that it's still us, but it's almost like this next level self. But what we don't realize is that person is literally around the corner.

And what I always say to you guys is if something is on our hearts, if we can imagine something, So for example, like a great thing to think about is I don't know, I don't know if you guys do it, But like in a meditative state, I will visualize the future. I will envision my future self. I will envision my life what I want. And I can see that very clearly. And I'm such a big believer that if I can envision that, if I can dream that, if I can, you know, see that and feel really

connected to that. Sorry, guys, my speaker literally unblogged itself because I was getting passionate and not the computer. Yeah. So I'm a big believer that if I can envision that, that can be true to me and that is a possible reality for me, kind of like, for example, like in my life, I have never wanted to be a teacher. I've never wanted to be an artist. I've never wanted to be a singer. Like there are things that it's just I've never wanted to be, whereas there's other people

who they would love to be an artist. They aspire to be, you know, a singer or a teacher or you know, these different aspects of life. And that's what I mean about. I truly believe like if something is on your heart, if you can envision something, then that is a possible reality for you. So when I'm talking about your next level self, like she is going to

be so different to my next level self. So I'm not gonna bother like giving you an example, but basically I'm gonna run you through a practice where I ask you a whole bunch of questions to envision that person

and so I'm a big believer. Also, like, once you're so clear on your next level self, it will be so like the next step, the next decision will be so clear if you're making it from that next level self rather than your current self, because your current self usually, you know, usually you can't pick because you either have fear around not succeeding, or you have fear or you have negative experiences from the past that are like almost tainting it. There's there's a lot of limiting beliefs that

you know, we all currently have. So when we can kind of make decisions from this next level self, from this like you know, I guess we can call it our higher self, who has done what we want to do, who has achieved the things, who has manifested that and like the person who really believes in themselves. Yeah, it gets so much clearer for me. And so yeah, anytime I'm feeling unclear, I'm like, oh, I don't know what

to do. And I notice this because I will do the same thing where I poll people and I'm like, oh, you know, mel like you know this and that what should I do? I will talk to Jacinta Tim or my mom, and I notice I'm like, oh my god, I'm literally asking everyone else. Whereas Georgia, you always know what to do. You always know you can tap into your inner compass, you're inner intuition. And just a quick note, guys,

is intuition is such. Intuition has just been so huge for me in my life and making next steps and making choices, and it's definitely something I want to do like a whole episode about, because I believe, like you know, when you're tapped to your intuition, you're kind of invincible because it's like nothing can rock you. You feel so secure in yourself, you have so much clarity around yourself and who you are and how you show up, and yeah, when you have a decision, you can kind of tap

into it. So that's also huge. I was actually thinking about because intuition, me personally, it's like something we're all born with and it's something we will have, but I feel like because of society and just the way we learn in school, we almost unlearn it. And so I've been on this huge journey with my intuition where I now feel very strong with it, but only just you know, three or four years ago, I had no intuition and

it really led me astray. So another thing I'm also thinking about doing is the next round of my Rise and Conquered project, which will be around mid year. I'm thinking of adding like a mini training all about intuition that everyone can do, like before they start the project to really like tune into that because yeah, it's epic and it's just like one of my one of my best tools that I've ever developed, that's completely free, that

has just changed my life. Not to be dramatic, Okay, r n C. Fam, We're taking a quick break and I want to ask you, guys, are you getting your daily recommended intake of three fruits and five veggies? No? Sometimes maybe I feel you on this. Wow. So, in a perfect world, we are getting all our vitamin minerals and needs from our food directly. But because we live such hectic lives and our soil is often lacking from

so much farming done, that doesn't always happen. And that's why supplements are so popular, and that's why Naked Harvest was born just to be very transparent with you. So what we really wanted to do was make sure you're getting what you need in a convenient way when you're not getting your daily recommended intake of veggies. In so introducing our newest product, Gorgeous Greens, which is a greens

powder that actually tastes delicious. So we have been formulating this for quite a while because honestly, it was so hard to have a greens powder that has all the good stuff and that tastes delicious, Like I honestly get why so many other greens powders just taste so foul. And honestly, any other greens powder I bought, I've just never finished and I just throw it away. So there are two flavors that is very vanilla and Mango magic.

I recommend getting very vanilla if you just want to add it to your smoothies, but if you do want to have it by itself, Mango Magic is so delicious and so flavorsome. Also, guys, the greens plowder is gluten free, dairy free, vegan, refined, sugar free, and family friendly. So one scoop equals one serfs of veggies, so you're really getting veggies in at breakfast time if you're a smoothie lover like me. And it just makes it easier to get all the veggies in and to really making sure

you're getting the vitamins and minerals you need daily. So I absolutely know that if you try this product you will love it. That's how confident I am with this greenspowder because ah, we have just with aiste we aste the flavor. So guys, if you need to get some veggies in your day in a more convenient way, try Gorgeous Greens today. So I do have a sneaky code for my Rising Conker family, which is just Rise and

Conquer podcasts. You can just put that at checkout at Naked Harvest Supplements dot com and the Gorgeous Greens is under the wellness tab. Okay, enough about Gorgeous Greens. Let's get back into the show. But yeah, so let's get into these higher self questions, your next level self again, don't be worried if you've never kind of thought about things this way, listen to this questions. Like obviously, if you're driving, you're not gonna write them down, but maybe

just have like a think in your head. Otherwise, come back to this podcast when you do have a bit more time and like you know, pause it and have a journal and write things down. You're never going to regret like doing this sort of stuff, guys. And also I will get my podcast manager to put these questions in the show notes, which might be helpful for you too. Otherwise, actually she can just wrecked you to a blog that actually should have these questions. So yes, that's what we'll do,

but I would just go through them now. So when you think of your next level self, what is the energy they encompass? Are they confident? Are they grounded? Are they calm? Are they certain? What is the energy? What time do they wake up in the morning? Actually might say it in the way of like what time do you wake up in the morning, because you are your next level self? Sorry, guys, let me reframe that. So what time do you wake up in the morning, What

does your morning routine look like? What sort of traits do you hold? What sort of friends do you have or better yet, what sort of people do you want to hang around with? How much money are you earning, What does your day look like, what are you wearing, what sort of job or career do you have, what sort of music do you listen to? How do you feel about yourself? And then the last question I want to want you to ask yourself is like this next

level person, what are they sure about? What do they know? And even if you're a little bit unclear about you know, maybe what job you have or any of those questions, It's okay. I want you to fantasize. I want you to visualize and be like, you know, what would it feel good to me for that person? You know to be that rhyme too? And basically, guys, this has helped

me a lot. So for example, like when I started this podcast, I knew I wanted it to you know, to be you know, one of the top charts podcasts. I wanted it to be to like a very go to self development podcast and really kind of up there. So like when I first launched it, I acted as if that had already happened. You know, I did two podcasts a week. I made sure I put a lot

of time and effort into my questions. I was asking, you know, my guests, I had show notes like I really kind of did it in a way of already being that next level goal or that next level self. And then like what happened is that came into fruition. So like another example, and I'm pretty sure I've told this on the podcast. Was when I was practicing law and I wanted a promotion, and I was like a

law clerk, and I really wanted this was I law clerk? Yeah, so I was a law clerk, and I wanted the promotion of a law graduate, which is kind of the next up once you finish your degree, but you're still doing your pot which is you know, practical legal training, that's what you have to do before you become a lawyer. And I remember knowing the stats of like not many people got that promotion. So I kind of sat there and I was like, how would my next level self

show up? Like how would this next person who had already got the law grad position show up? And it was just like little tweaks. Like I remember at the time, I didn't put too much effort into my appearance in regards to like what I wore to work. Not that I looked bad, but it's like I wasn't that corporate was I kind of looked around and I noticed that all the lawyers, you know, they wore heels, they wore these like portman suits. They took a lot of pride

in their appearance, and they showed up. And so I started doing that, I started wearing heels, I bought a couple of nice suits, and even like I remember my boss at the time was like, oh, Georgia, and like she really noticed that I was kind of showing up in a different way. And it's not like that was the only part. It's like, you know, I would get in early and I would stay late, and I was

kind of going above and beyond. But it's like, yeah, when we kind of want that next level goal or we want clarity on our next steps, it's like, let's think of our next level self, Let's think of our dream life. Let's think of like us in the position we really want to be in, and then make the choice from there. So, yeah, just a little episode, guys. I hope this is helpful. I usually get this sort

of download if you know someone needs it. So I'm guessing there's a couple of people going through some i know, either life choices or they've got some they've got some crossroads coming up. But this is also just like a really nice exercise to do if you are lacking clarity with your life. So if you kind of just feel like what am I even doing? And also with the exercises like it's okay. If you can't exactly describe your next level self, you just almost need to get into

the energy and have a bit of a vibe. So it's like, maybe you don't know what your next level self does as a career, but maybe it feels like you get into the feeling of I feel so fulfilled or I'm an absolute boss babe. I go into work, I run the show, I have this huge team, or maybe it's like I work from home. Just think of what you want, because you do know what you want.

You know, oh, what you like. It's just about putting it out there and also realizing that it's not like you're going to sit down in one sitting of journaling and being like, oh, I know my next level self, I have so much clarity. I'm tapped into my intuition.

This is amazing. It's like I'm laughing. It's kind of like if, yeah, if you're feeling a bit untapped out of your intuition, if you're feeling a bit lost, if you have got crossroads and everything's feeling a bit fuzzy, it's like, make some space and make some time to do this journally exercise, you know, not just once but a couple of times a week, because I guarantee you

different stuff will come up. And when you're giving yourself space and when you're giving yourself more room to dream and more room to really embody that next level self, you'll get more comfortable and you'll be able to you know, manifest that and really bring that in to fruition.
