• 0:00
  Nothing new comes into your life until you are grateful for what you have.
• 0:04
  Now this is officially your gratitude check. It's so important to make time in
• 0:10
  your life to be grateful, to spend moments of gratitude. And I am
• 0:16
  just grateful that I have the honor to celebrate people in my life. And
• 0:21
  most recently, I got to celebrate a couple of birthdays. My husband's birthday
• 0:25
  this past weekend, my oldest daughter earlier in the month, my youngest daughter
• 0:32
  late February, and early February this year, I spent time with my siblings
• 0:38
  and my moms celebrating my mother's eighty first birthday. These moments of spending time
• 0:45
  with my loved ones as much as I can, why I can, with
• 0:51
  who I can. I love to celebrate birthdays, and I'm encouraging you if
• 0:57
  you can be a part of somebody's celebration and watch that person grow into themselves
• 1:03
  and learn more about themselves and hopefully learn their purpose in this life. It
• 1:08
  is the best feeling in the world to watch that person journey, especially for
• 1:12
  me my kids, watching them as little girls and now watching them grow into
• 1:18
  young women. That has been such a joy to see them overcome challenges and
• 1:23
  learn new things and become another version of themselves, a better version of themselves.
• 1:30
  And that is what life is all about. So I encourage you today
• 1:33
  to spend time celebrating someone. You're gonna get a lot of joy out of
• 1:37
  it, and most important, you're going to be very grateful for the fact
• 1:42
  that you were even part of their wonderful story. Hello, my friends from
• 1:56
  all across the globe, and welcome to the urine Red Cell pot. I
• 2:00
  am your host, Mi Lee Noir. I am a mindset coach and your
• 2:06
  mindset advocate, and all that means is listen. I'm here to look out
• 2:09
  for you. I want to make sure that you are the best version of
• 2:14
  yourself, and it starts with having enriched thoughts and taking the actions and the
• 2:19
  steps you need to take to show up as the best version of yourself in
• 2:23
  this world. And so that's what I do each and every week. I
• 2:25
  curate these episodes so we talk about self care, soul care, and these
• 2:30
  mindset fusion topics to get you to think differently, because the way you think
• 2:35
  today will impact how you show up in the world tomorrow. And so if
• 2:38
  you're new to this podcast, I want to thank you for being here.
• 2:42
  I know that you were brought here on purpose, for a purpose, and
• 2:45
  if you are a repeat listener, I want to celebrate with you that we
• 2:49
  are at episode one hundred and forty two and I could not do it without
• 2:53
  you. You are part of this journey, and I'm so grateful for every
• 2:55
  moment that you tuned in, you tapped in, and you turned on this
• 2:59
  episode of the Urine Massa Podcast. And I just want to thank you for
• 3:02
  the positive feedback and comments and all the responses that I've gotten along the years
• 3:08
  on this podcasting journey. Now, before we get into this week's episode,
• 3:14
  if you know, you know, before I get started, each and every
• 3:17
  week, I make a deposit into the bank of you, and I do
• 3:23
  so by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to start your day
• 3:31
  and to command your morning. And this week's affirmation is I am prepared to
• 3:43
  go to my next level. I am prepared to go to my next level.
• 3:53
  I am prepared to go to my next level. Now let's get ready
• 4:00
  for this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast. The affirmation this week
• 4:11
  is telling yourself that you are prepared to go to your next level. That's
• 4:16
  a very important affirmation because first of all, affirmations speak life over your life.
• 4:24
  But what's more important is in order to get to the next level,
• 4:29
  your next level, you have to understand there is a winner within you.
• 4:35
  The wins of your life, they come from within. There is a winner
• 4:41
  in you that you haven't quite allowed to come about and shine and become the
• 4:48
  center stage of your life so that you can get to your next level.
• 4:54
  It's time for you to tap into that. If you've been on this journey
• 4:58
  with me. About six week weeks ago, I mentioned that I was starting
• 5:01
  a new thing, something that would challenge me. And as I've said on
• 5:06
  this podcast, what challenges you will change you, and I certainly experienced change
• 5:15
  on this journey. I know a lot of people say trust the journey,
• 5:18
  and you've heard that quote before. I promise you it is so important to
• 5:24
  trust the journey. And trusting the journey isn't just a combination of those words,
• 5:29
  but it is to fully participate in what it is you say you're going
• 5:34
  to do. And so I'm just going to recap a little bit of my
• 5:40
  experience, my journey of these six weeks and tell you what my key takeaways
• 5:46
  were. I definitely shared some gems along the way, but I feel like
• 5:49
  it's time to kind of close this up so that I can walk away with
• 5:55
  the learnings and share my learnings with you now. Trusting the journey, like
• 6:00
  I said, is not just putting words together that sound really nice to say.
• 6:04
  You know, it's important to trust the journey. What I glean from
• 6:10
  trust the journey is do what it is you say you're going to do now
• 6:16
  with this journey, with this experience of joining this six week boot camp,
• 6:24
  it started, like I said, with an assessment, and the assessment allowed
• 6:29
  me to look at my past results, my past labs, and then take
• 6:34
  a three D scan of my entire body, every circumference of waist and arms
• 6:41
  and hips and all of the things to how I lean and if I lean
• 6:47
  forward or do I stand straight? How is my posture, weight and be
• 6:54
  am I and all of the things that you can imagine so much data about
• 7:00
  out who I was walking into that camp. Essentially knowing your numbers before you
• 7:06
  start working your plan. And one of the things as we sat down on
• 7:13
  day one, before camp even started, we sat down and the trainer slash
• 7:19
  owner slash nurse. She wears many hats and wears them all very well.
• 7:26
  Sat me down and asked me, what are your goals now? Naturally,
• 7:33
  everybody wants to jump on the weight train and say I want to lose this
• 7:36
  much weight and I want to lose this amount of weight. But for me,
• 7:42
  it wasn't weight. There was something I hadn't learned yet. I think
• 7:46
  anyone can jump on TikTok or YouTube, university, or talk to a friend
• 7:53
  and find out what diet, what fad can I run to to lose five
• 7:59
  ten pounds over a period of time. But that wasn't what I was after,
• 8:05
  because you can get that anywhere. What I was after was to walk
• 8:09
  away with new lessons about me. I wanted to know more about how I
• 8:16
  needed to fuel my body, and that was new language for me because it's
• 8:22
  always been about food. It's always been about eating. But because I was
• 8:28
  getting ready to do something different with my body, I would treat my body
• 8:31
  different. I would put my body under stress and duress to get through these
• 8:37
  exercises. To get through this boot camp, I recognize that I would have
• 8:43
  to change my eating habits, and so that meant I would have to go
• 8:48
  in with a plan and stick to that plan. That's what trusting the journey
• 8:52
  is is getting the plan and sticking with it. And I will tell you
• 8:58
  that is a hard thing to do. It sounds wonderful, it sounds great
• 9:03
  as a quote that you can throw on a Facebook post or Instagram story,
• 9:07
  but the reality is trusting the journey is hard work because what that means is
• 9:13
  you're not going to see the results. You're not going to see what it
• 9:16
  is you think you want to see until you get to the end. But
• 9:22
  can you hold off for the immediate satisfaction of seeing what it is you want
• 9:28
  to see and be patient enough to get to the delayed satisfaction of watching all
• 9:37
  your hard work pay off. And that's hard to do because we live an
• 9:43
  instant gratification society. From the way we eat fast food. We now have
• 9:50
  air friers at the house where we can whip up a meal very quickly and
• 9:54
  you name it. We can do it faster and better, quote unquote,
• 9:58
  better than we've ever done it. But we're robbing ourselves of the journey.
• 10:03
  I talked about this in a previous episode when I talked about my journey running
• 10:07
  my first half, my first official half and not really going through the journey
• 10:13
  of the practices, putting myself through a rigid plan of couch to that half.
• 10:26
  That's an important journey to walk through. And I let myself. I
• 10:31
  allowed myself. I gifted myself because it is truly a gift to go through
• 10:37
  the stages of the life that you are going after. And the true thing
• 10:43
  is real talk, is that your life is that gift. There are stages
• 10:50
  in your life, but you're living it so much. If you're not intentional
• 10:54
  about stepping back and watching your growth and yours and the things you've learned,
• 11:03
  you're gonna miss the whole lesson. You're gonna miss the joy and the journey
• 11:07
  of your own life. And so I could see how many people have missed
• 11:13
  this step. I missed this step. There were times in the past that
• 11:16
  I've done programs like this, but I kind of did it. And I'm
• 11:22
  sure you're guilty of the same thing. You go into something and you start
• 11:26
  with this excitement and the motivation, motivation gets you started, but what keeps
• 11:33
  you going. I was intentional about learning a new thing, about learning about
• 11:39
  me, and that's what you get to learn when you really go in with
• 11:46
  an attitude of what can I learn so that I can take the gains from
• 11:52
  this and apply it every day. And immediately when and immediately after I sat
• 12:01
  with my trainer, she told me, I need you to get up all
• 12:05
  white products. No pasta, no white rice, no bread, white bread.
• 12:13
  And I knew she was serious. She had seen some of my results.
• 12:16
  She had seen some of my labs, and I knew she was serious
• 12:24
  because she saw my labs and she gave me an immediate call to action it
• 12:33
  And immediately I took to heart what she said to me because I was intentional.
• 12:41
  I was determined that I would not leave this boot camp without results.
• 12:50
  Now, I didn't know what kind of results I would get. I didn't
• 12:54
  have any magic results in my head. And I know, coming from a
• 12:56
  sales background, you got to walk in with the results that you want.
• 13:01
  I just walked in and the result, here's the result that I had.
• 13:05
  Here's what I wanted to achieve. I wanted to know how to eat and
• 13:11
  I wanted to do this for real. I was so determined to really do
• 13:18
  everything that was expected of me to do, including for six weeks showing up
• 13:26
  for camp every single day. Now, I had been going to the gym,
• 13:31
  but I hadn't been consistent at a certain time of day. I would
• 13:35
  kind of do it in a random order. I would do it for you
• 13:39
  know, maybe thirty minutes or twenty five minutes or maybe an hour. I
• 13:41
  didn't have anything consistent happening, and I decided to make consistency part of my
• 13:50
  strategy because if I can be consistent for six weeks, that could be life
• 13:58
  chage. Think about it. If there is something that you want to accomplish
• 14:05
  and you would spend six weeks. I think I did the math on this.
• 14:09
  Eleven percent of your year, just eleven doing a thing. How much
• 14:16
  better would you be at the end? And my friends, I have to
• 14:20
  say, I am much better because I've learned more about myself. I've seen
• 14:26
  some physical results, but the mental results. And that's what this podcast is
• 14:33
  all about, this journey of being enriched. It starts from within. Your
• 14:39
  win is from within. Again, anyone can go to YouTube university and find
• 14:48
  the latest fad on how to lose five, ten, fifteen pounds and whatever
• 14:52
  number of days or weeks. But walking through threw a thing and picking up
• 15:03
  the lessons what I call the gems and putting it in your crown so that
• 15:07
  when you're finished, all you got to do is adjust that crown and everyone
• 15:11
  can see all the gems that you collected along the way. That's the beauty
• 15:18
  of it all. You now have evidence, You now have activity, You
• 15:24
  now have grit that you can go back to and remind yourself how you got
• 15:31
  to where you got to, and remind yourself, how did I get from
• 15:35
  point A to point B or point A to point N. You have that
• 15:43
  baseline, and it was genius how this coach, how she created and curated
• 15:50
  this camp with such a genius that not only did we have the baseline,
• 15:56
  but at midpoint we took another assessment. And it's something I can admittedly say
• 16:03
  that I personally fail at. I fail to give myself midpoint check ins what
• 16:11
  about you? It's something that I now know I need to do so I
• 16:15
  can see am I tracking to what I need to get to At the end.
• 16:22
  I have this many weeks from midpoint to the end of camp, we
• 16:26
  were at three weeks out. I knew in three weeks I had already seen
• 16:32
  great results, Guys, I had already seen great results results. I had
• 16:41
  never paid any attention to b AM I and lean mass. Gaining lean mass.
• 16:48
  That's not something that was in my vocabulary. That wasn't something that I
• 16:52
  was necessarily aiming for. But I knew if I did what I was asked
• 16:56
  to do, and I dove in and did it, I didn't make any
• 17:03
  excuses for it. I didn't lie to myself because listen, I could have
• 17:08
  gone off and ate what I wanted, but I would be lying to myself
• 17:12
  because I told myself at the beginning of this camp, what would it look
• 17:18
  like for you to really do what it is you're being asked to do?
• 17:22
  What would it look like to live through that for six weeks? No excuses,
• 17:30
  no get out of jail free cars. Here. This is not Monopoly.
• 17:33
  This is my real life. I want change. I can't play games
• 17:40
  with change. I either make the change or I remain the same. And
• 17:47
  remaining the same was not part of my game book. My playbook was not
• 17:52
  about remaining the same. I was intentional about leaving this space better than I
• 18:00
  started. It's almost like you have to have a culture about you. You
• 18:03
  know, I work for a fortune five hundred company and they always say culture.
• 18:11
  Trump's strategy. If you have a poor corporate culture, it's going to
• 18:15
  be hard for you to implement any strategy to win in business. Well.
• 18:21
  Similarly, if you don't have a culture about yourself, the culture is what
• 18:27
  governs you from within, where you can go down and grab that win from
• 18:33
  within so that you can start seeing those results on the outside. Winning from
• 18:40
  the inside out means you don't get shaken easily. They're going to be stumbles,
• 18:49
  and they're going to be roadblocks, and they're going to be challenges along
• 18:53
  the way. But are you easily shaken by that? You can't afford to
• 18:59
  be that. That's why your culture. Think about again, a corporate culture.
• 19:04
  When something happens in that industry, are you easily shaken or are your
• 19:11
  people on a solid foundation? What foundation do you stand on when these stumbles
• 19:17
  come into your life, when these roadblocks prevent you from getting there as fast
• 19:22
  as you thought you could get there? Again, we live in a society
• 19:26
  that tells us instant gratification is our greatest win, but that's not how you
• 19:33
  win from within. Winning from within means you're not looking for a trophy.
• 19:41
  You don't need an award to showcase your hard work. I knew what I
• 19:47
  was doing each day that I went to that camp, I knew that I
• 19:52
  was working hard, harder than I ever worked, partly because the trainer wouldn't
• 19:56
  allow me to work anything less than I I knew that the win from within
• 20:02
  would mean my hard work, my consistent hard work, would pay off.
• 20:07
  And I promise you guys, I looked in the mirror a couple times and
• 20:10
  I didn't see a difference, and I just kept telling myself, keep going,
• 20:14
  don't allow what you see to get you off track, continue to do.
• 20:21
  The crazy thing is you look at yourself every day and you don't see
• 20:23
  the change, and then people start telling you, which is what started happening
• 20:27
  to me, that they're starting to see physical changes in and around me.
• 20:33
  And so it's important to keep going. Even if it doesn't look like what
• 20:38
  you wanted to look like. Go do it, do it for real,
• 20:45
  Stay on the journey and trust the journey. That's what it looks like.
• 20:48
  It's not pretty. When you trust the journey, right, you're gonna see
• 20:52
  that the journey doesn't look the way you wanted to and you're gonna have to
• 20:56
  trust that it's gonna be okay. I want you to recognize that your power
• 21:02
  your win from within. None of it is external. It's all built inside
• 21:08
  of you. That's how you get to your next level. Your next level
• 21:14
  is what's already within you that you need to let come out. When I
• 21:18
  did some of those workouts, I screamed, I was burning in pain,
• 21:25
  but I knew what that scream was. That was letting go and letting my
• 21:30
  wind from within come out. That's what it was to me. I was
• 21:34
  allowing myself to let go and grit through the challenge of it all because I
• 21:41
  knew at the end of that challenge there would be change. I see food
• 21:51
  as fuel now I know how to shop for myself. I know how to
• 21:55
  fuel my body. I know when I'm not getting enough fruits and vegeta in
• 22:00
  my diet. There's so much that I have awareness of. I'm successful.
• 22:07
  I am a success, not to somebody else's story, to my own story,
• 22:15
  to the story I created. When I sat with the trainer and she
• 22:18
  asked me, what are your goals? I was able to accomplish those goals
• 22:23
  that I set with her. And they weren't weight goals, they weren't number
• 22:27
  goals. There were mental goals. I knew that as I said each and
• 22:33
  every week, whatever it is you're going to do will first be a mental
• 22:37
  gain. Everything starts in the mind, and if you can conquer that start,
• 22:45
  you will finish on top. You will pull out the win from within.
• 22:49
  And every one of you have it. Each and every one of you
• 22:53
  have that win from it within. Each and every one of you have a
• 22:57
  culture that government you from within. You just have to know how to tap
• 23:03
  into it. And the key to successfully doing that is to keep showing up.
• 23:12
  And when you show up, you have to keep moving. I hope
• 23:21
