  Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe, and welcome
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to your Enriched Self podcast. I am your host, my
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Lee Noir. I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and what that means is I am here for you.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I know that if you're listening to this podcast and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you're out there in the world, you want to be
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the best version of yourself. But on this journey of
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: striving for best, we get caught up in life and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: we slow down. And when we speed up, we lose
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: our way. And when you lose your way, you don't
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: spend time managing your thoughts. And when you lose that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and you don't have the quiet time, it's hard to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: enrich your life.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: To enrich yourself.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And so that's what this podcast is all about. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: want to have those conversations with you that help to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: bring you back to center and allow you to do
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the work that you need to do, get the self
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: awareness that you need to have so that you can
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: become more of your enriched self. And it starts with
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: these mindset fusion topics we do every week on the podcast.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: So if you're new here and this is your first
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: time listening, I want to thank you for being here,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. I believe that you were brought
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: here on purpose, for a purpose, And if you are
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a repeat listener, I want to thank you for hanging
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in there with me. Some of these weeks have been challenging,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: but I want to be here and I'm so glad
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that you still want to be here and to continue
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: listen listening to this podcast. So thank you for sticking
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in for over four years since we have started this
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: journey of the Your Enriched Self Podcast. Now, if you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: know you know, one of the things we do each
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and every week is I make a deposit in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: bank of you, and I do that by way of affirmations.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Affirmations are a great way to start your day and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to command your mourning. And this week's affirmation is I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: am open to seeing blessings in every moment, and I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: trust that gratitude grounds me in abundance. I am open
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to seeing blessings in every moment, and I trust that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: gratitude grounds me in abundance. I am open to seeing
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: blessings in every moment, and I trust that gratitude grounds
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: me in abundance. Now, let's get ready for this week's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast. You know, life
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: for me the last few weeks have been so busy.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I have felt the challenge of coming up for air,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: giving myself or gifting myself time to step away, walk away,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: get into the sunlight and all of the things that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: help me stay grounded and connected to me and not
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: so much into the world. That is part of what
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I have to do, right I have to walk in it,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: live in it, work in it, play in it. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: when you get so busy and you get so bogged down,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you lose sight of yourself and you start to forget
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the everyday things that make life meaningful, and it makes
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the moments matter. And so this episode for me is
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to get back to gratitude. Whenever life gets
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: hard or challenging, or there's opportunities for things to get
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: better or go in a different direction, it's easy to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: get hyper focused on what's not happening or what's not
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: happening right, and it's easy to fall into this in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a sense victimhood, like I'm so busy, I have so
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: much going on me me me, and gratitude is always
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: my home button. I remember when the iPhone first came out.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I was working in retail at the time. I spent
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: many of my professional years working in sales in retail,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and we were selling iPhones at the time, and it
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: was a new concept to have this touch device introduction right,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and for a lot of customers, especially customers who were
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: technology averse but wanted the convenience of a mobile device,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it was really hard to get them to understand how
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to Aleta stop. So for many of the customers who
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: were technology averse, it was really hard to get them
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to understand how to use the device. And when they
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: have gone maybe too far because there were so many
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: buttons to press at the time to go back home.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And so at the time, I don't know that Apple
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: called it a home button, but we would always let
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the customer know, hit this button and it takes you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: right back home, right back to the main screen. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I feel that gratitude is that home button for me?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And I encourage you when life gets busy and you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: have all the things on your screen, similar to those
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: early adopters of the iPhone, and everything seems overwhelming and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it seems like where do I even begin to get
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: back to me? Get back to center. My recommendation is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to choose gratitude. Always choose gratitude first. It grounds you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and gets you back to start. And so the first
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: thing I want to talk about is the day to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: day convenience, is that everyday things that you who may
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: take for granted. So in this episode, I really want
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to prompt you to think about these types of things.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: For example, what small comfort did I almost forget to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: be grateful for today? And I have to shamelessly steal
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: this from someone I saw on social media, and they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: started off their social media post by saying, I realize
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: today that I am so rich. I have the choice
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: when I go into my bathroom to select hot water
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: or cold water. And I just thought, that's so brilliant.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: How many of us get up every day to take
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a hot shower or you know, wash our face, brush
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: our teeth, and we have the option of hot or
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: cold water. And I know for some people listening in
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: this may seem like, oh, yes, sure, why not, But
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: we forget that that's a convenience. We forget that small
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: thing which may to you seem like nothing, is absolutely
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a very important something to someone else who doesn't have
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that luxury. And for somebody who has been in a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: position where my hot water is not working. I'm telling
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you right now, it's a convenience when your hot water
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is working right and your cold water is working. And
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: so I think we sometimes forget those things until we
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: lose sight of them, or we lose them period, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: then we realize what we're missing. Right, So I want
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you to think about those simple things that are at
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: your fingertips, like the hot and cold water in your
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: bathroom or your kitchen or whatever that you you often
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: don't think about because those everyday conveniences can easily become
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: overlooked when life is lifing and everything is happening around you.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: The other thing I.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Want to bring forward for you to think about is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: something as simple as a smile. Something as simple as
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a smile can change your day, whether it's from a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: loved one, a stranger, and all the ways and all
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the places you will encounter people, and you know, oftentimes.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You know you've been there. I've been there before.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You know. I noticed in my neighborhood there's been some
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: new people to come in. And one thing I've loved
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: about my neighborhood is that as people are walking their
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: pets or walking around there's always that friendly neighbor wave and.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It always makes you feel good.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Right, But every once in a while or recently, I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: will say, I've seen some new people come around and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: they don't have that same demeanor, that sunny disposition, that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: just gentle friendliness, neighborly smile or wave that I have
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: come grown or have grown used to. And those are things,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: again we take for granted. Is having that smile, that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: gesture that says, you know, welcome, or I'm so happy
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to see you, or it's great to just see a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: great human out there in the world. And so I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: want you, as you think about just something as simple
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: as a smile, to be grateful for. Who is the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: one person, maybe even a stranger, that brought a smile
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to your face today? You know, again, it's just a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: simple thing that is easily overlooked, and I want you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to give it some attention. And if you know the person,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: how can you let them know that their small gesture mattered.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Here's another way to do it, because I know sometimes
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: we're so busy. Maybe somebody reached out to you today
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that you haven't heard from in a while, or maybe
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: somebody reached out to you in the middle of your day,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in the middle of your chaos, it's such a good
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: thing to you know, reach back over and just let
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: them know that. Man, when you send that message today,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it really came at a almost perfect time. I was
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: at my wits end or I was in a place
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that you know, I couldn't come away from, and you
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: helped to pull me back to center. And those moments
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: matter to people, So definitely let them know when we
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: think about gratitude. And then my last point is things
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: in your life that have allowed you or where you
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: can see your personal growth, you know, coming to life.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Right for example, it was there something you were able
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to overcome this week or overcome yesterday. Again, it's just
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the simple things. I mean, for me, I work out
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and there's always a challenge at our gym. Right, these
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: trainers they come up with new training exercises. I saw
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a social media post where the trainers are, you know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: just having a ball, coming up with these crazy exercises.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And I often think that I think that my trainers
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: are studying these said activities on social media and coming
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: up with ways to torture us. But needless to say,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you know, after you've gone through that type of experience
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: with your trainer or whatever to watch yourself go from
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: being you know, not so excited to take on this challenge,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to sheepish taking on the challenge to eventually realizing I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: can do this. That's a moment of overcome and that's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a personal growth moment. Again, I'm a big believer in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: celebrating the little things and celebrating the winds and the moments,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and something that small for me is not that small
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: because I'm telling you, the workouts that these trainers have
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: us do can be sometimes taxing, and it starts taxing
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: your mind first before your body, because you know, you
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: got to think about how am I gonna get this done?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Like can I get this done? And you go through
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the mental gymnastics before you then eventually put yourself in
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a position to get it done. And so I think
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that's important. Right, I'm using a gym reference, But there
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: are different places in your life where you had a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: post personal growth moment. Maybe you've been challenging yourself to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: get up earlier, right, so you're not running late all
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the time, or you have you know, twenty minutes of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: quiet time, or you're not you know, hustling in traffic,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you can have like a quiet or more a less
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: stressful drive to work. There's so many different ways that
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you're trying to grow up in this personal space, right,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: And I think those things are worth mentioning, those things
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: are worth referencing, and those things are worth celebrating, right
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and realizing what you were able to overcome, and also
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that what strength did that reveal in you, right, is
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that a strength of resilience is that you know that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you have stick touitiveness about you, that you're just not
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: a quitter, like You're gonna try and try and even
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: if you don't get it, you're going to keep trying
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: until you do get it. And maybe in those sessions
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: at the gym or whatever, you didn't get it done,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: but in the back of your mind you're thinking, I
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: can do.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: This, or maybe you are.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: You've improved the number of pushups or sit ups that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you could do from week to week or month to month.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And so those are things as we think about resett
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and coming back to ourselves that gratitude.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Can help you do.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And it's just so small little prompts that you can
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: pepper throughout your day and come away with the things
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that matter. The things that help your heartbeat and help
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you stay connected to you and grounded in the moment.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And that's what I want for you this week. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: really want you to get into seeing each moment, but
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: also seeing the blessings in each moment and then trusting
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that gratitude has the best gift of your life and
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: it is the opportunity for you to experience true abundance.
• 15:52
