Transcript
- Rosanne Callens: Hi friends, Rosanne Callens here. It's April, it's spring. And for many of us, Easter is just around the corner. And whether Easter is about faith, family, or the feeling of the season, just something about this time of year that feels ⁓ It represents ⁓ it represents renewal, and importantly, it represents new beginnings. but this is the time of year where something inside starts to wake up. You start thinking, ⁓ maybe I want something ⁓ Maybe I want something more. ⁓ And maybe I'm ready for a shift. And I want you to hear this, that feeling, that's not random, that's desire. But here's the real question. How do we actually make those desires happen? And that's what I wanna talk about today. Because wanting something and building something, those are two very different things. There was a time in my life where everything looked beautiful on the outside. I mean, really beautiful. I was living in Europe. I was traveling. I had a wonderful community. I had three amazing children and a life that really looked like it was working. But on the inside, I was exhausted. I was overextended. I was burned out. I was smiling in public but feeling completely alone and private. And I remember thinking, how can everything look so good but feel so off? maybe you felt that way too where everything looks fine but something inside of you is like this isn't it. Something inside of you is telling you that what's going on is not right for you And what I realized was this, I didn't need a brand new life. I needed to come back to me. today I wanna give you something simple but powerful. ⁓ A three step reset for this season of your life. I really don't want you to just listen. ⁓ I want you to engage and to think about you. would love for you to grab a notebook or open up the notes app in your phone because... ⁓ There is something that is going to come up for you while you're listening and I don't want you to lose it. So, step one, let's start here, your energy. The energy piece is pivotal. Before you change your schedule, before you set goals, you have to look at what state you're in, So I'd like for you to write this down. At the top of your page or the top of your notes section, I want you to ask yourself, where is my energy going right now? And I want you to really think about that. What is draining you? What is lighting you up? What are you saying yes to when you actually mean no? I was working with a client recently and brilliant, just brilliant, driven, successful, the kind of person where everything looks like it's working. But he said something that really stuck out to me. He said, well, I feel like everything is moving, but nothing feels clear. So I asked him, well, When's the last time that you had some space to think? And he paused and said, well, I actually don't have any time to think. And of course, that's when it clicked. You're not confused. You're overloaded. You need to have some time to think. He wasn't lacking direction. He was lacking space. And once we started protecting that energy piece and creating even small pockets of space, his clarity came back and he was able to articulate to me the things that he wanted to accomplish. everyone clarity doesn't come from doing more. Clarity comes from having space to think. Now step two, I want you to think about your operational intentionality. Okay. Let's just look at it like this. Let's go deeper. desire without structure turns into frustration. So we need to be intentional about it, ⁓ I want you to write this what my current week ⁓ actually reflect? Not what you want your week to ⁓ but what it actually is right now. So with former client, we mapped out his schedule. We literally looked hour by hour and here's what we saw. He had time for everything, everything, except for the things that were actually going to move his life forward. He didn't have thinking time. He didn't have time for personal growth. He didn't have any intentional time built into his schedule. So therefore he was just reacting all day, all day, every day. And I told him, not stuck because ⁓ ⁓ have opportunities. ⁓ had plenty of opportunities. ⁓ was stuck because his time wasn't aligned with his priorities. You could feel that one land. So if you don't design your time intentionally, your time will be designed for you. ⁓ We didn't overhaul everything in a schedule. What we did was we made some small shifts. We blocked out some time, we protected his space, and we created intention. And that is when things start to move, when you have operational intentionality. Now, the third step is we need to know what our upgraded direction is, I want you to write this down. Who am I becoming next? Not who you've been, not who people expect you to be, but just who you're becoming. ⁓ That makes me think of client story. So I had this wonderful client. She was an incredible woman. She was serving everyone and I'm pretty certain that's going to sound familiar to a lot of people here. She was giving constantly. the kind of person who makes such a real impact here in this world. And she said to me, well, Rosanne, I have this dream and you could feel it. Her energy is like off the charts. But she said, my fear isn't that it's not going to work. My fear is if it actually And I said, Hey, tell me more. ⁓ And said, what if I'm too successful? So want to let that sit for a because we don't really talk about this enough, right? Sometimes fear isn't about failure. Fear is about success and what you're gonna do when you step into that new circle of your life. Success changes things. Success brings more visibility. Success brings more responsibility. Success brings more expectations. And she said something to me that I'll never forget. She said, If this works, my whole life is going to change. And I said, what if your life is supposed to change? What if this is meant to be for you right now? So the thing that you're afraid of might be the exact thing that you're meant to step into. And so I said, hey, you don't have to leap, but you do have to move. And that 1 % success shift, that small movement creates huge results. And maybe that's you. Maybe you've been doing all of the right things, but there's something inside of you that is telling you there's more. And maybe your fear isn't that you'll fail. Maybe your fear is that you won't fail. Hmm. Let that land. Maybe your fear is that you won't fail. You're not just afraid of losing. You might be afraid of becoming. So here's what I want you to do. Right now, I want you to look at what you wrote down. I want you look at your energy. I want you to look at your time. I want you to look at your direction. And I want you to ask yourself, what is one thing that came up for me while listening to today? ⁓ Just thing, ⁓ not things. Not a full plan, just one thing. Because this is where people truly get stuck. They feel so inspired and they do nothing because they think of too many steps to take. And I don't want that for you. Inspiration without action turns to frustration. Inspiration without action, everyone, turns to frustration. So here is your challenge for the rest of this week. I want you to challenge yourself to take one step to protect your energy, to block the time, and to move a little bit toward what you wrote down, even if it's so small, especially if it's small, because any momentum doesn't come from thinking about it. And we're probably really good at thinking about it, right? It comes from you. taking steps and moving. Everyone, the life you're thinking about, it's not far away. It's just waiting for you to choose you. If something came up you today, feeling in your chest, the thought that you just can't ignore, ⁓ the quiet voice saying, this matters to me, that's your moment. Not someday, not when things come down, and especially not when you feel ready, right now. And you don't have to do it perfectly, everyone. You just have to start because your life isn't waiting for perfection. It's waiting for participation.

It's rosannecallens.com/morning because sometimes you don't need a full plan. You just need a reminder ⁓ every single that you are capable of more. And I believe in you.
