  Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe, and welcome
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to your Enriched Self podcast. I am your Hostmi Ley Noir.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach, and what
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: that means is I am looking out for you. I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: know that everything that you want to do and accomplish
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in this life starts with a thought. And those thoughts
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: then become the words that we use over our lives
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and into the conversations and the fabric of our lives.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And then those words become the action and the activity
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that you take each and every day. And so those
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: thoughts must be intentional so that you can arrive and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: harvest an outcome that aligns with the purpose, the design,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and the desire of where you want to go in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: your life. And so those are the conversations we get
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to have each and every week on this podcast. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: want you to be intentional about your thoughts so that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you can become more of your enriched self. If you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: are new to this podcast, I believe that you were
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: brought here on purpose for a purpose. And if you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: are a repeat listener, I want to thank you. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: want to thank you because we have been podcasting for
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety eight weeks. That's right, every week
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and ninety eight weeks, you've showed up,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: You've participated, and you have done the work to become
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: more of your enriched self. And I want to thank you,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: thank you, because if not for you, we wouldn't have
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a podcast today. So thank you from the bottom of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: my heart. Now, one of the things I do to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: help you honor yourself each and every day is I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: make a deposit into the bank of you, and I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: do that by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: way to start your day and to command your mourning.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And this week's affirmation is every challenge is an opportunity
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to grow and become stronger. Every challenge is an opportunity
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to grow and become stronger. Every challenge is an opportunity
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to grow and become stronger. Now, let's get ready for
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self Podcast. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, but there's been so much shifts
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in the weather lately. You could be outside enjoying a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: sunny day and it can just quickly turn to a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: dark sky filled with gray clouds and pouring rain, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it seems like that's been the cycle the last couple
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of days. You know. I even hear people talk about
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the fact that we haven't had a stretch of sunny days,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: or when we have had a stretch of sunny days
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and it starts raining, they're grateful for the sunny days
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that we have had. And so that energy shift goes
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: back and forth quite a bit. And I think we
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: have that same type of natural energy source and energy
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: shift that occurs from day to day. The one thing
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: about nature, it's a good blueprint for how we are
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to look at things because nature doesn't rush the process.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Everything still gets done, but the process is not rushed.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And I think in our lives we feel like we
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: need to be going faster because things are gonna get
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: done faster and we're gonna be so far ahead. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: we see that with the seasons, you know, think about it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: In winter, there are no trees at bloom, so it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: may look like things are way behind, right, And in
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: spring you see all these trees. You see a lot
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of green. That's what we're seeing right now. We're seeing
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and we're experiencing a lot of the rainfall, right even
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: though we're getting com of that kind of that summer weather.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: But summer brings that energy. Everybody wants to be outside,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: everybody wants to be in the sun. And then fall,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: when the leaves start to fall, it teaches us to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: let go. And so every season of life, every season
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in nature, is there for a purpose and things will
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: still get done. And I wanted to help you slow
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: down a bit because I think a lot of us
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: want to go fast. A lot of us are anxious.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of people that I talk to are anxious.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Right now. There is a lot of things that work
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in the workspace at home right Some of those things
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: trickle from the workplace to home, and people are having
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to make some big decision, some life event moments are
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: happening right before our eyes. That brings a lot of anxiety,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and it brings a lot of mental exhaust to everybody involved.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And so today I want to take a moment to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: talk about the shifts that are happening in life, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure that we are having the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: emotional intelligence about honoring the shifts, honoring your shift. There
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: are natural changes of energy, of focus and the needs
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that come up from day to day. Basically, what I'm
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: saying is no two days are intended to be the same.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about nature. Like I said, no two
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: moments are intended to be the same. You could be
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: having a sunny day, a sunny week, and it can
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: change like that, and that's okay. That's okay to see
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that shift that focus from sunny to rainy. And we
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: have those shifts and focus in our lives as well.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And so that's what I want to focus on today
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is how to truly honor your shift and learn to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: release the pressure, the pressure of feeling like you're in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that same pace from day to day and understanding that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: some days are purposeful and those days may be progressive
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: where there's a lot of activity, and some of those
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: days may be RESTful. So let's dig into that a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: little bit. First thing I want to say is your
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: energy is not on a timer. I'm gonna repeat that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Your energy is not on a timer, and that's okay.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: We wake up every day with a different energy. Some
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: days you're feeling it, some days you're excited, some days
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you're ready, and some days you don't want to get
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: from under those covers. And that is real. Think about
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: your wake up this morning and you wake up yesterday morning,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and see how that shifts when you go to your
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: next season of wake up right, which will be tomorrow morning.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: What does that look like? And I want us to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: be realistic. I want you to be realistic to know
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that if you understand that you're day today, just the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: way you wake up and write, how you receive the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: day can be different and oftentimes is different. Why do
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you expect to have the same performance every time? I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: think we beat ourselves up trying to use the pace
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of yesterday into today, and sometimes that pace does not
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: work for today. That was the pace that yesterday day
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: needed for you to achieve the things that you needed
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to achieve. But we beat ourselves up because we're expecting
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the exact same day, the exact same results, the exact
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: same performance, And that's just not the way it works.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I mean another way you can think about it is traffic.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: There are days of the week that is heavier than
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: not a weekend day versus a weekday. Traffic looks different.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: The energy and the pace is different. And I want
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you to start thinking about I know we're talking metaphorically,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: but start thinking in your life how you can think
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: through the fact that your energy is going to shift
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: from day to day, maybe a day of the week
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that you're on it and you're ready and you're pushing,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and there may be a day that is not so much,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and it's okay to have that. So question, are you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: trying to run today's race with yesterday's gas? Are you
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: trying to keep up the pay of yesterday with the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: race that you're running today. The thing is, some days
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: are gonna call for you to do some things differently.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Some days are just days of awareness, days of observation,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and some days are days for action and activity and movement.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And I want you to know that your purpose doesn't disappear.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Your purpose actually shifts, and that's okay. Again, I want
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you to honor your shift. I want you to honor
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: your shift. To that point, progress will look different each day.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Some days you're gonna be on max ocstain or high
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: octane or whatever. You're gonna be on ten, you're gonna
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: be in a thousand, and some days you're not gonna
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: rise to that level. Your energy is gonna be low.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: There are days where I can go to work and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I was able to do all these
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: things on my to do list. I was able to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: knock out the thing that I was holding on to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: from last week. I was able to get the things
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: done for today. I was able to plan my day
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: for tomorrow and get some of my scheduling and some
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of the things that I'm working on the projects. I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: can start working on those things, and it feels like
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: such a full day. I was able to do so much.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And there are some days where I come in with
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the same energy I feel like, and I'm not able
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to get half of those things done, and I'm thinking, man,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: what did I do with my day? And I think
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: we all experience those moments, right. It could be low energy.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It could just be the way you're shifting that the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: way you're moving that day. It doesn't have the same
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: pace that you had the day before. It may not
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: even be low energy. Your pace just might be different.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And so that might mean that day I had one
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: intentional task done, and that's your win. The win isn't
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: always the big thing, the list of things, the completion
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: of many many things. It can be the one thing
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that you intentionally set out to do and you did it,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and that is okay. What would it look like if
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you were to let enough be defined by your effort
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and not by your quantity. And that's the example that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I explained right of myself going into work and getting
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: all these things done and feeling like my day was
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: so full and you know, there was so much activity
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: that I was able to accomplish. And then there's a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: day where I had one intentional thing that I had
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: on my list that I wanted to do and complete
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and I did that and that was my win. So
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: don't focus on the quantity, focus on the effort. Think
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: about this idea that your productivity isn't proof of purpose,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: but your presence, in fact, can be the proof of
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: your purpose. Finally, honor the day. Honor the day, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: don't resist the shift. And what I mean by that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: is a lot of times you get up and you're like, man,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not feeling it today, and you start beating yourself up.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: You start trying to match that energy, like I said,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: match the pace of yesterday with today's race, or the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: race of yesterday with today's pace, however you want to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: say it. And when we do that, we build ourselves
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: into burnout. We literally create the inferno of burnout because
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you're trying to force the energy into the day and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you shortcut your way to burn out, and that never
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: feels good. And you also feel shame in that moment too.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest, shame comes about you start condemning yourself.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: You have condemnation around this because you're thinking, Man, I
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: could have already done this, and I could have done that,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and I should have already. You know, this time of day,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I'm typically doing this. I say pause and understand that
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: maybe today you need rest. Maybe today you don't need
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to be in all these places and spaces that you
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: think you need to be in. You need to be alone,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you need to be going through your thoughts. You need
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to be writing, you need to be journaling. It doesn't
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: have to be all these cooked up things for you
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to have a recipe for a good day. Days like that,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I always say, what is this day intended for me
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to do? What do I need to do to be
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: supported in this day? Maybe for myself, maybe the people
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: around me. Maybe it's an opportunity for me to reach
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: out and ask for help. Because a lot of times
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: those days for me, I've I've found myself in overwhelmed.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And it's because a lot of times it overwhelm isn't
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: because I don't know what I'm doing. It's that I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: know what I'm doing, and I believe I can handle
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: all the things. By the time I recognize that I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: am stressed out, my body is requiring the rest, my
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: mind is exhausted and has already overthought and overworked itself.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And now I'm in this place. And so that day,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that time may simply be an opportunity for you to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: reflect and understand what you need to be supported in
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that day, in that moment, or in that season of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: your life. It may be a time for you to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: understand what you need to feel peace with the progress
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that you're making. What do you need to feel peace
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: with your progress? If you can answer that question, that's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna need to help you stay in the race.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Trust the plan and the pace, and understand the plan
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the pace, it's all part of the purpose. It's important
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to learn to release that pressure. Some of those pressures
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: we put on ourselves, some are external, and I know
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of those external pressures a lot of times
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: cannot be helped. But you can manage yourself. You can
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: manage and understand that that day to day pace doesn't
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: have to be an equal the same each and every day.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: The key is staying in progress and resting when needed,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and understanding that your energy is just part of you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: trusting the plan for your life. I hope you enjoyed
