  Speaker 1: My friends from all across the globe, and welcome to

  Speaker 1: your Enriched Self podcast. I'm your host, my le Noir.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach, and all
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that means is I am looking out for you. I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that you are intentional about your
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: thoughts and that you are carving time out each and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: every week to become more of your enriched self. So,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: if you are new to this podcast and this platform,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I want to thank you. I want to welcome you
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: for being here. I know that you are brought here
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: on purpose, for a purpose, and if you are a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: repeat listener, that means you've been podcasting with me for
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: over three years and I am just so grateful that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you continue to tune in and lock in with me
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: each and every week. Big thank you from the bottom
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of my heart. Now, before we get into this week's episode,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: if you know you know, one of the things that
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I do each and every week is I make a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: deposit into the bank of you, and I do that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: start your day and to command your morning, and this
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: week's affirmation is I release tension and invite peace with
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: each breath. I release tension and invite peace with each breath.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I release tension and invite peace with each breath. Now,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: let's get ready for this week's episode of the Your
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Enriched Self podcast. My friends, I'm checking in on you
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: because I want to make sure that you are gifting
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: yourself time. I don't think we do that enough. I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: don't think you are doing that enough where you are
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: giving yourself time and space to breathe, to inhale the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: good vibes. I know, as you look around your world,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: as you look around the world we live in, it's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: easy to see all of the negativity that's around, all
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of the bad press, all of the bad news, all
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of the negative things that are occurring in culture, in community,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and everywhere else in between. But I'm going to caution
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you this season to be very intentional about what you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: are programmed to because, believe it or not, I know
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I've been hearing a lot lately that folks feel that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we are in a season of distractions. I would say that, yes,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in fact, that it's true, but we are also in
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a season of programming. And programming is a way of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: managing the instruction for how you live life for how
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you will perform in life. I mean, think about programming
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a software, or programming a desktop computer, or programming a phone.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It sets up the instructions for how that unit, how
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that product is going to perform tasks. And so as
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you turn on the TV, as you go on social media.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what the numbers are about how
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: much we consume in media, especially in the social platforms,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: but there's a lot of information being pushed at you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And I want you to be very intentional to notice,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to be very tuned in, tapped in, and turning on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the fact that there are entities, there are businesses, there
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: are individuals that are vying for your mental space. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: if you're not careful, you are going to sell off
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: what you have your core competence see of your life,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of how you operate, of your experiences, of your background,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of your everything. You're going to sell it off to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: these places if you're not careful, Because all the things
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you learn, all the things you know about yourself, all
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the dreams you have for yourself are going to be reprogrammed,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and so they're going to be new instruction for how
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you do things. If you're not careful, to manage your self,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: manage your space. And that's why I want to check
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in to make sure that you are creating and cultivating
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: intentionally personal time to take care of you. And those
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: things are not independent of each other. It's very dependent
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in how you take care of yourself and what you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: allow as you are navigating your life and navigating the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: world around you. Because again everything and everyone has something
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to say about what's happening. But the key is you
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: need to be intentional. You need to be in a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: space where you can discern what it is that's coming
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: at you because the information season and this is why
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: there is a level of distraction that's going out there
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and the levels are growing. Let's be honest, think about
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: your mind share a few years ago, even last year,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and where your mind share is. I can tell you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I feel the overload, and so I know you are
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: feeling the overload of the mind share, meaning all the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: things you have to give off piece of yourself to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in your mind space so that you can function. And so,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: just like a computer or a phone has to go
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: through an update, you are going to have to find
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: spaces to get your version two dot O, three dot
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: O or whatever version you're on and get your update
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: so that you're ready to perform at the best capacity,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: because that's what the updates are for, right They're intended
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to improve how the device or the product will function.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And you want to be functioning at the highest capacity.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And in order to do that, you have to be
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: ready to prescribe yourself some time away from it all.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And I mean that I want you at the end
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of this podcast, and I want you to create a lifestyle,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a ritual, a day to day activity, a routine that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: allows you to have that personal time for yourself. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: don't care if it's five minutes. You are going to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: need that. Do you understand that you are I talk
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: about making a deposit into the bank of you. This
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: is the time, if there is any other time in life,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: this is your moment to make a deposit in the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: bank of you. I know I do it each and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: every week by way of affirmations. But you are going
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to have to be intentional about cultivating time away from
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: all the things, all the people, all the circumstances, all
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the situations, because it's going to be morphed into bigger,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: into more, and you're gonna have, let me tell you,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: why you're gonna have to be intentional. We had a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: situation where I had to work from home. I decided
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to start my day early, a little earlier than normal
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: because I'm working from home so I don't have to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: travel time. And I told myself that I would go
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: take a walk. And there was a point in the day,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a short minute in the day, where I could have
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: gone and taken that walk, but I filled it up
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: by doing work. At the end of that work day,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I never gave myself that time back. I lost the time,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I lost the activity, and that was time for me
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to take a deep breath, catch my breath, if you
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, and recharge myself. Instead, I ended
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the day drained completely, having nothing left because I wasn't
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: intentional on that day on carving time away from my
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: day to day so I can gift myself time and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: give myself space and allow myself to reprogram, to rejuvenate,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to replenish. Those things are important. And so that's my example,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and I have multiple examples. I'm sure you have multiple
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: examples where you robbed yourself of time. That's the opposite
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of gifting yourself time. You're gonna have to cultivate spaces
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: where you are not distracted, because I promise you, once
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you start to do it, you're gonna crave more of it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You're gonna do it more. You're gonna show up for
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: yourself more. And that's what needs to happen this season.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You can no longer allow all the changes that are
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: happening in life to have a negative impact on how
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you respond and how you think. And that's why I say,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: breathe in the piece. Be intentional about breathing in the piece.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Be intentional about meditation and mindfulness. I want you to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: be more and become more aware of your thoughts and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: your feelings, and that way you can begin to develop
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a changed outlook on life. I would say a positive outlook,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: but a changed outlook might give you more perspective and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: more insight, not necessarily positive or negative. Most definitely, you
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: want to have a positive outlook on your life, but
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a change outlook may just be giving you that additional
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: insight you need to discern better to be a better
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: decision maker, to be more intentional. Right, we talk about affirmations.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great way to bring positivity into
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: your space right where you're learning to reprogram your mind
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and that way you can live a more purposeful and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: enriched life. You're gonna get better at this. It may
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: feel overwhelming, It may feel like you don't know how
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to be positive because so much has happened to you,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: or you are anticipating the mountain of things that are
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: coming at you. But I promise you if you become
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: intentional at this, finding quiet time every day, allowing your
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: mind to get quiet, giving yourself a space of quiet.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It might be in your car on the way to work,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it might be at the kitchen table. There are many
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: places that you can claim or stay claim to that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: will give you what you need in the moment you
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: need it, so that you can get quiet into places
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that are always loud. There's so much loud sounds and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: voices and instruction that are coming at you. And that's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: why I say, yes, we are in a season where
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: there's so much distractions, but there is a lot of programming.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: But there's also a lot of programming happening, and if
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you're not careful, you are going to be living a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: life and invoking emotions that are not becoming of where
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you are destined to be going. We have a lot
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of work to do. And I know it's easy to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: look at the work that is external, what people need
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to do to fix this, and how this is going
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to get better if they did that. But this is
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: what you need to do starting today. I don't care
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: if you set your alarm for five minutes, give yourself
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: five minutes of quiet. It doesn't even have to be
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that you got to go for take a walk. I
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: think I mentioned this before. It's cold in a lot
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of parts of the country, it's hard to get outside.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: But get in a space by your self. Let me
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: say it that way. Get into quiet quarters, get into
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a quiet room, get into a silent space. You are
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: gonna need that, You're gonna want that. It's going to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: become eventually become something that you crave, because I know
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I crave it. But I had to get into the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: habit of getting there to give my mind a space
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to just release all the things and just get quiet
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and stop the noise. This is a really interesting time
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in our culture. This is a really important time in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: our culture, and this conversation is very relevant for now,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and it's probably going to be relevant for a long
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: time because your mind is where it all starts. Everything
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: starts with a thought. The thoughts grow into the words
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that become the language and eventually become the actions that
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you take in the world. And if you are listening
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to this podcast, I know that you want to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the best version of yourself and you want to live
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a enriched, purposeful, and fulfilling life. And so in order
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: to do that, this is the ground zero of getting
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that done, getting that accomplished. So your work this week
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: is to find quiet spaces, to spend time alone with
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: your thoughts, to empty the mind by simply allowing everything
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: around you that's allowed to get quiet, and to cultivate
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that day in and day out by bills bilding a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: routine around it. You will need this just like food
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and water and movement. This is something you need to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and I want you to be very intentional about seeking
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that thing, your thing to breathe in the peace, because
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you deserve to have peace. I hope you enjoyed this
