126. New Year Mantra · Your Enriched Self

• 0:00
  If you've ever worked with a coach, whether for athleticism, mindset, or
• 0:05
  any type of coaching, your coach wants to not only hear you say yes,
• 0:10
  they want to see you do the work. And this year was the
• 0:14
  year that I would go down as saying as the year I activated my inner
• 0:19
  coach. From choosing to do a project that I was highly unfamiliar with to
• 0:27
  intentionally running a half marathon with no training, it was the year that my
• 0:34
  inner coach was activated. It was a year that I didn't back down because
• 0:41
  it didn't look like I had all of my ducks in a row, which
• 0:46
  for me is a huge win when I think about the year, because everything
• 0:52
  about me passed but certainly not present, has been defined by my readiness,
• 1:00
  my availability, my resources, and this was the year that I just went
• 1:07
  ahead and did the damn thing. I look for more experiences like that in
• 1:12
  the next year and the years to come. I had some serious growth this
• 1:17
  year. I have some experiences that allowed me to go with the grit and
• 1:22
  come out with grace. That's what I'm looking forward to in twenty twenty four.
• 1:26
  I want more of that. Now. What that's going to mean is
• 1:30
  there's gonna be some work ahead. There was definitely a lot of work that
• 1:34
  I had to generate to get through those experiences, but it was absolutely worth
• 1:41
  it to know that I am more than what I had always kind of defined
• 1:48
  myself. When I was able to act and activate that inner coach, a
• 1:55
  part of me came alive and I want to see that thing live. Hello,
• 2:08
  my friends from all across the globe, and welcome to the Your and
• 2:13
  rid Cell podcast. I am your host, mai Le Noir. I am
• 2:15
  a mindset coach and your mindset advocate. I hope you are excited to wrap
• 2:23
  up twenty twenty three. This is our final episode of the year, and
• 2:29
  if you've been rocking with me this entire year, I want to thank you
• 2:31
  for rocking with me. If you are new to this podcast, I want
• 2:35
  to welcome you. You are in for a treat as we wrap up twenty
• 2:39
  twenty three and look forward to the excitement of twenty twenty four. And now,
• 2:43
  before I get started with the podcast, if you know you know,
• 2:47
  one of the things that I do is I make a deposit in the bank
• 2:52
  of you, and I do so by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a
• 2:59
  great way to start your day and to command your morning. And this week's
• 3:07
  affirmation is today, I create my path to success. Today, I create
• 3:17
  my path to success. Today, I create my path to success. Now
• 3:28
  let's get ready for this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast. So
• 3:38
  for the past couple of years, I finished the end of year episode with
• 3:42
  a plan for or a challenge to you to have a word of the year
• 3:47
  in the following year. And this year, I want to do things a
• 3:51
  little bit different. As I mentioned at the top of the podcast, there
• 3:55
  was an inner coach that was activated in a way I hadn't seen live out
• 3:59
  in my life. And so this year I'm adopting a new year mantra.
• 4:05
  I want to phrase that pays, that helps to fill my soul from the
• 4:13
  inside and out. And so I'm adopting a why not me mindset, and
• 4:19
  I encourage you to join me on this why not me journey because I think
• 4:25
  if you're being honest with yourself, you've asked yourself that question a time or
• 4:29
  two ago. You've seen something, you've seen someone, you've been in a
• 4:33
  certain situation, and you thought, why not me? Why can it not
• 4:38
  be me? In that new position? In that new space. And I
• 4:43
  agree with you because I think the same why not Me? And here's something
• 4:49
  that I'm going to tell you about people adopting the why not Me mindset.
• 4:56
  Guess what you are going to be afraid to to take risks and try new
• 5:00
  things? Yeah, I know. What people tend to tell you is that
• 5:05
  when you adopt this mindset, you aren't afraid to do things. You are
• 5:10
  ready to take on the risk. Guess what, friends, A new year
• 5:15
  doesn't mean a new switch comes on. It doesn't mean everything changes overnight.
• 5:19
  This why not Mean mindset is literally going to be a practice lifestyle adopting a
• 5:28
  new and a refined mindset. And I have to look up the definition of
• 5:34
  the word refined because I want you to understand what needs to be so that
• 5:41
  you can get to this mindset. It's gonna take baby steps, it's gonna
• 5:46
  take big leaps, it's gonna take small leaps. It's gonna be a combination
• 5:50
  of all the things. But again, let's talk about what refine means.
• 5:56
  Refine means removing impurities or unwanted elements. In this case, it's gonna be
• 6:03
  from our mind. We're going to remove the unwanted, unnecessary thoughts and conversations
• 6:11
  and limitations that have kept us from adopting and living out the why not me?
• 6:19
  Mindset? So you're gonna have to intentionally sift clean, strain, filter
• 6:27
  out unworthiness, hesitation, your doubts, and the list goes on and on
• 6:33
  and on, because those are the impurities of your pure, authentic self.
• 6:42
  So what is the why not me? Mindset? Let's break it all the
• 6:44
  way down. I want to break it all the way down. First of
• 6:46
  all, why not me is a question, but it is also a declaration,
• 6:56
  which is an affirmation and in a sense, a statement of truth.
• 7:03
  Why not me mindset is also a level of empowerment. It's an empowering question
• 7:10
  because it replaces the why me for a why not me? For those of
• 7:19
  you, including myself, who have done a vision board, the why not
• 7:24
  me is taking that vision board and bringing it to life, bringing it to
• 7:30
  life by honoring what you put on that board, by making these images become
• 7:38
  lived experiences. Why not me is the inclusion of possibility. What is possible
• 7:48
  if I take the leap and go do that thing? Why not me?
• 7:54
  In that role? Doing that thing? Me? As I mentioned before,
• 8:01
  is knowing that you're afraid, but choosing to face it head on, saying
• 8:09
  you know, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna work, I'm gonna walk
• 8:13
  toward it confidently, even though I don't even know what's going on. I
• 8:16
  don't know what I'm doing. I've never done this before. It is the
• 8:18
  willingness to encounter the unknown. And finally, the why not mean mindset is
• 8:26
  you embracing your enoughness. I know you've heard the affirmation I am enough,
• 8:37
  but embracing that and knowing that, yes, you are enough to be in
• 8:43
  that room, to be in that space, to go do that thing,
• 8:46
  to set that target, that high yes, that big goal, that large
• 8:52
  target, that thing you've been avoiding, that thing you've been afraid to look
• 8:56
  at, to face the willingness to say, I'm enough with who I am,
• 9:05
  I'm enough with what I know, I am enough with the experiences that
• 9:09
  I have, I am enough to do it. It is a bold approach
• 9:16
  to your life, to your livelihood, to your relationships. It's a great
• 9:24
  way to push the envelope on your own life. You are getting ready to
• 9:31
  write a new script. Why not me let that be your invitation to whatever
• 9:39
  it is that you didn't get the invite for to whatever it is you weren't
• 9:45
  participating in before, to whatever it is you didn't think you could. Why
• 9:52
  not Me helps to answer the question for you in bold new ways. Here's
• 9:58
  what I'm telling you about why not me? The why not mean mentality,
• 10:01
  the why not me attitude, the why not me thought process, the why
• 10:05
  not me mindset is also very discomforting. It's gonna require you to have experiences
• 10:16
  outside of your comfort zone. It's gonna require you, I say require because
• 10:24
  you can't escape this. There's no cheat code to this. You're gonna have
• 10:30
  uncomfortable conversations. You are going to have to challenge things directly. It's going
• 10:37
  to be a direct challenge. There's no indirect way to say or do what
• 10:41
  you need to do. You gotta go at it. And probably one of
• 10:46
  the most important things that I've talked about this all over this podcast is upholding
• 10:50
  the boundaries that you set. You're not gonna be proactive and positive if you
• 10:56
  don't know how to manage boundaries you set. Uphold those boundaries so you can
• 11:03
  go forward unhindered in doing the things that you are set forward to do.
• 11:09
  So here's some tips for developing the why not me? Mindset? Because,
• 11:13
  as I mentioned, this isn't a light switch, it's not a twenty twenty
• 11:18
  four I got the mantra I'm ready to go. It's more of a developing
• 11:22
  process. It's a developing story. So first things first, you have to
• 11:30
  believe in yourself. This is not about somebody else's confidence in you, confidence
• 11:37
  in what you're capable of. This is you believing in yourself, having confidence
• 11:43
  in your abilities, having confidence that you can achieve things that you set your
• 11:48
  mind to. It was my experience when I did the half marathon without training.
• 11:56
  I knew that it's something that I wanted to do. It was on
• 11:58
  my list to do, but I did not have all my ducks in a
• 12:01
  row. Everything then aligned perfectly, But I was intentional about wanting to do
• 12:09
  this, and I put myself in a position to show how much do you
• 12:15
  really believe in yourself? My lean Do you think you can do this?
• 12:18
  What you have, what you've known, what you've studied, where you've been
• 12:24
  on your walk, run, fitness wellness journey. Can you do this?
• 12:28
  And I proved that I could and I know you can too. In order
• 12:35
  for me to have achieved a half marathon in twenty twenty three, I would
• 12:41
  have to set the goal of said half marathon in that year. So you're
• 12:46
  gonna have to have something to keep you motivated. I was excited to do
• 12:54
  this thing, and then I got injured, and the story would go that
• 12:58
  even after those injuries, I was still fixed on that goal of accomplishing that
• 13:05
  in the year twenty twenty three. Setting goals is going to be a critical
• 13:09
  piece of developing this mindset of why not me. I remember having a fitness
• 13:18
  coach who would put challenges in front of me almost every single session. He
• 13:26
  didn't just want to hear me say yes, I got the instructions, I'm
• 13:28
  getting ready to go do what you just told me to do. But he
• 13:33
  also wanted to see me do the work. That way, he can correct
• 13:37
  me if I was doing it incorrectly, he could guide me, he could
• 13:43
  encourage me. And so taking action allows others around you to take action.
• 13:50
  They're going to be people that you inspire. They are going to be people
• 13:52
  that inspire you as you take action. Another way of saying this is you
• 13:58
  got to move. Movement is going to be key. When you move,
• 14:03
  you're gonna do new things. You're going to try things again. My experience
• 14:07
  with my fitness trainer, he had me doing things that I wasn't comfortable with
• 14:13
  I hadn't done before. There were so many new and things that were not
• 14:18
  in my wheelhouse. But how do you grow if you're just doing the exact
• 14:22
  same things. And so I had to put myself out there so that I
• 14:26
  can have more opportunity to succeed. And that's what the movement does. It
• 14:31
  gives you more opportunity to be successful at what you do because you have more
• 14:37
  reps. And as you have more reps, what you get from more reps
• 14:43
  is not just the experience of it. You gain confidence. You don't gain
• 14:46
  confidence, but by just saying you are confident and you believe in yourself,
• 14:50
  you gotta do the work. And doing the work is going to put you
• 14:56
  in a place where you make mistakes, so that be the next thing.
• 14:58
  Don't be a it'sraid to fail. Failure is part of the process. That's
• 15:05
  how you grow. You fall seven times, you get up eight that's the
• 15:09
  proverb. We heard it, we know it. But the best thing about
• 15:13
  mistakes or missteps is you get to make corrections and just move forward. Some
• 15:24
  of the best lessons you've ever learned in your life is from making a mistake.
• 15:28
  What I found is when everything's done perfectly, we don't take time to
• 15:33
  step back and reassess or make assessments or recalibrate. But when we make a
• 15:41
  mistake, there's almost a requirement to go back and study the tape. And
• 15:48
  so that's the blessing from a failed attempt at something which is all failure is
• 15:54
  it's an attempt because you're going to do it again, and you get to
• 15:56
  attempt it this time with more information, more insight, and the lesson from
• 16:02
  the last time you did it. The last thing as you developed this why
• 16:07
  not me mindset is to surround yourself with positive people. Most definitely, your
• 16:15
  circle of influence is going to be critical in that because that has a huge
• 16:22
  impact on how you think, what you think of and how often you think
• 16:26
  of it. And if you're going to believe in yourself, the last thing
• 16:33
  you want is for people around you not to be aligned with your believing in
• 16:40
  yourself. That definitely helps to know that you have people in your corner having
• 16:45
  the same belief system as you about you, but also being supportive of you.
• 16:51
  On your journey. I'm excited about this why not Me mindset. I've
• 16:57
  definitely been in puts positions in my life where I did the y me,
• 17:03
  and the y me puts me in a framework, as I'm sure it has
• 17:07
  put you in a framework of victim. The why not Me puts you in
• 17:14
  alignment and an opportunity to victory. And I'm excited for what this tool can
• 17:21
  do to help enrich your life and enrich your year, and enrich the things
• 17:29
  that matter the most to you and an opportunity to tell a new story about
• 17:33
  you. I hope you enjoyed this week's episode of the Urine Ritsub podcast.
