(54) BECOME ADDICTED TO SELF DISCIPLINE WITH THESE 5 TOOLS · Alignment With Jenn

0:00
Hello and welcome to this episode of the Alignment with
0:03
Jen podcast. I am your host Jen, it's easy.
0:06
And today we are going to be diving into how to become the
0:10
most disciplined and devoted version of yourself.
0:13
So I want to get into this idea of discipline because something
0:17
I hear over and over and over again from the women that I work
0:21
with who are incredibly intelligent, high achieving
0:24
women who oftentimes want to create their own business or
0:28
their own purpose or grow their own business or purpose.
0:32
And they find that they are struggling to follow through on
0:35
the things that they say that they want to do.
0:38
And they view it as this discipline problem.
0:40
And I truly believe that it's one of the biggest lies that you
0:44
need to have more discipline in order to be very, very
0:48
successful. I think that there's other
0:50
things that are more important. And I think that discipline is
0:54
actually a symptom of something that's actually going on below
0:57
the surface. And So what I want to give you
0:59
today is basically a tool kit of different ways that you can look
1:03
at discipline and understand discipline to actually become
1:06
someone who consistently follows through on the things that you
1:09
say that you want to do. Because I believe that
1:12
discipline is one of the highest forms of self love.
1:15
And when I say discipline, I mean following through on the
1:17
things that we say that we want to do is one of the ways that we
1:21
build deep, deep, lasting self trust.
1:24
I believe it's essential. It's the bedrock of self trust,
1:27
but it's also the bedrock of every single thing that you want
1:31
to manifest into your life. Any relationship, any career,
1:35
any business that you want to create, any health habit that
1:39
you want to sustain, your fitness goals, financial goals,
1:43
all of them require you to show up and follow through for your
1:47
bigger vision. And so I want to talk about why
1:50
do we struggle to have discipline?
1:52
What can we do to think about it a little bit differently?
1:55
And if you've listened to my podcast before, you know, I'm a
1:58
big proponent of using devotion rather than discipline.
2:01
And we'll talk about that. So I'm super excited to share
2:05
this episode with you because it's probably one of the most
2:08
common things that I hear is I just don't follow through.
2:12
Or I'll start something and I'll get a little bit of the way and
2:15
then I'll pull back, or I'll start and then maybe I'll kind
2:19
of fizzle out. And so I want to help you
2:22
understand why this might be happening and how to shift it.
2:25
The first point that I want to make is that it is not a
2:29
discipline problem. It's not that you need to train
2:32
yourself to become more disciplined.
2:34
I believe that's part of the equation, right?
2:37
We're not going to leave that completely off the table, but I
2:39
think there's something bigger and I think it's an identity
2:42
issue and a vessel issue. So the idea is that everything
2:47
that we want already exists in the quantum field.
2:50
It already exists in the universe.
2:52
In order for you to receive it, you have to build the vessel,
2:55
you have to build the ability, the capacity to hold it.
2:59
And what can happen is you can short circuit if you receive
3:03
something that you are not ready to hold.
3:05
So let's say that this happens a lot with lottery winners where
3:09
they will receive this massive amount of money, but they won't
3:13
have the skills, they won't have the mindset, they won't have the
3:15
capacity to hold that money and typically will spend all of it
3:19
and lose it. This happens with a lot of
3:21
celebrities who suddenly hit it big and then they spend all of
3:25
their money because they don't have the structure, the ability
3:28
to hold it. And that is really what I think
3:30
is actually going on with this big follow through or discipline
3:34
issue that we're talking about is that we actually have to
3:36
expand our vessel to hold that next level of what we're wanting
3:40
to create. And we do that through our
3:42
identity. So something Tony Robbins talks
3:45
about is that identity is the strongest driving force behind
3:48
everything. We will let go of our values,
3:52
the things that we say are important to us in order to meet
3:55
the beliefs of our identity. What is your identity?
3:58
Your identity is simply what you believe about yourself.
4:01
So if you believe I am someone who consistently follows
4:05
through, I am someone who shows up for my goals, that is going
4:08
to create a very different result in your life than if you
4:11
consistently tell yourself, you know, So what?
4:15
I take 2 steps forward and one step back or I'll start
4:17
something and I don't finish it. When you say those phrases, you
4:21
are literally creating your identity.
4:23
Those phrases become your reality.
4:26
So the simplest thing literally right now in this moment is just
4:29
stop saying those things. Start affirming the identity
4:32
that you want to become. I am someone who consistently
4:35
follows through. I am someone who shows up for my
4:37
dreams and my goals. I love myself enough to
4:41
prioritize myself and my bigger vision over what's currently
4:46
happening that I sort of need to react to in my life right now.
4:49
What happens is when your vessel is small, it's not ready to hold
4:54
that next level. And by vessel, I mean your
4:56
identity, I mean your beliefs, your internal state, your sense
5:00
of purpose, which we'll get into in a moment, your connection to
5:03
your why, which I'm going to get into as well.
5:06
Your vessel can feel small. And So what will happen is you
5:09
might get these bursts of motivation right, and you'll
5:12
work super hard for a little bit and then you'll pull back.
5:14
Or you might stay really, really, really consistent with
5:18
the fitness goals that you've created or the budget that
5:20
you've created to meet your financial goals.
5:22
And then something will happen. It will derail you.
5:25
It's because on the deepest level, your identity is not
5:29
aligned yet with that version of you that you're wanting to
5:32
create. So we need to create that
5:34
alignment. I want to share this concept
5:36
really briefly before we get into it in a little bit deeper
5:39
of a way is this idea of devotion over discipline.
5:43
And I love, love, love this concept because discipline can
5:47
feel very punitive when I say I need to discipline myself or you
5:51
discipline a child or you get disciplined in school, that
5:56
often carries a negative energy with it.
5:59
Typically it's a repercussion for not doing something well
6:03
enough. It's a punishment essentially,
6:06
but what devotion is, is you can get the same result from being
6:10
devoted. What devotion is, it is moving
6:13
through love. It is.
6:14
I am doing this because I am so in love with what I am doing.
6:19
I am so in love with becoming the best version of myself.
6:22
I am so in love with myself. I am so in love with my partner.
6:27
I am so in love with my clients and my business that I want to
6:31
show up for it. That's a very different energy
6:34
and it's more of a polar energy rather than a push and a force
6:38
energy. I think oftentimes discipline
6:41
can create this push or this force within your life and
6:45
eventually it will break if you do not have the right
6:48
underpinnings in it. And so I want to start
6:52
encouraging you to think of, I don't need to be more
6:56
disciplined. I need to be more devoted.
6:58
I need to fall in love with myself more.
7:01
I need to fall in love with my health, my wealth, my business,
7:05
the life that I want to create for myself.
7:07
Because what's going to happen then is I am going to be pulled.
7:10
Like there's going to be this magnet that's pulling me forward
7:13
and drawing me to the future that I want to create because
7:17
I'm so in love with it. I think the perfect example of
7:21
devotion is actually Tony Robbins.
7:24
So I talk about him a lot. He's really, really influenced
7:27
the way that I teach. I've done a lot of Tony Robbins
7:30
events and he's really influenced me in a lot of ways.
7:33
And what I've seen after going to, I don't know the exact
7:36
amount, I've gone to over 20 of his events.
7:38
What I've seen is that he is extremely devoted.
7:42
He's disciplined, yes, but he's also extremely devoted.
7:45
He is pulled to serve his purpose.
7:48
He is pulled to serve the people in his life, the people in his
7:51
audience. He does not need to do the
7:53
events that he does. He has plenty of money.
7:56
There's no need for it, but he does them because he's so pulled
7:59
for his mission. He's so devoted.
8:02
And I believe that discipline will eventually wear out.
8:06
We will get tired, we will get burned out, but devotion doesn't
8:09
wear out. We will show up more for the
8:12
people that we care about, for the things that we care about,
8:15
for something bigger than ourselves far longer than we
8:18
will show up for a specific outcome that we are trying to
8:22
discipline ourselves to get. So that leads me to my second
8:26
point, changing your fuel source.
8:28
So when you change your fuel source, meaning your source of
8:31
motivation, your source of why you're doing things, everything
8:35
in your entire life will change. So this is going back to that
8:39
concept of discipline over devotion.
8:41
What this is, is having a purpose for everything that you
8:44
do, every single thing. Your life should not be
8:48
extremely complicated that it's hard for you to find a purpose
8:52
for every single thing that you do.
8:54
If something doesn't have a purpose and you're having a hard
8:56
time connecting to the purpose, or the purpose is a weak
9:00
purpose, then it's going to be very difficult for you to stay
9:04
on the path of creating the best life that you could possibly
9:07
create for yourself, yourself. You're going to constantly be
9:09
pulled in all of these different directions, right?
9:12
Napoleon Hill, in his book, Outwitting the Devil, he calls
9:16
it drifting. And it's this idea that people
9:18
just drift through their life. They sort of get on this
9:21
autopilot and they kind of drift through life and things will
9:25
pull them in different directions.
9:27
Like, oh, this is a cool opportunity.
9:29
This is a cool thing. Oh, this food looks good.
9:32
Oh, this looks like a fun way to spend my money.
9:34
They're constantly being pulled in all these directions because
9:38
they don't have a deeper purpose.
9:39
They don't have a deeper clarity on the actual life that they
9:43
want to create. And so we don't want to be
9:45
Drifters. I, I really encourage you to
9:48
read that book. It's fantastic, but we don't
9:50
want to be Drifters, we want to be purpose LED creators of our
9:54
lives and we do that by understanding the why behind
9:59
every single thing that we do. Why do I care about going to the
10:03
gym? Is it so I can have a nice body
10:05
for the summer? Honestly, that's not that great
10:09
of a fuel source. That might pull me for a little
10:11
bit, but something deeper, something more meaningful so I
10:15
can show up for my grandkids 20 years from now so I can be fit
10:20
and healthy and care for them. So that way I have the energy to
10:23
pour into my clients. I have the energy to pour into
10:27
my children now or my family or my friends.
10:30
So that way I have mental clarity to actually be able to
10:34
create great podcasts for you guys, right?
10:37
Why for you, think about for you, why do you want to do
10:41
everything that you do? And I encourage you, it has to
10:45
be something that moves you internally because when we're
10:48
just motivated by the external, right?
10:50
Oh, cool. Like I can make this amount of
10:52
money or I can, you know, look really good on the beach this
10:55
summer or people are going to think it's cool when I have a
10:58
million followers or whatever. Those do not last.
11:02
They are not fulfilling. They don't drive us.
11:04
They don't pull us. Eventually we will lose that
11:07
motivation because that's pull of the ego.
11:10
That's being driven by the ego, not by our soul and our higher
11:14
self. So when you look into why, I
11:17
would encourage you to look at the key areas of your life,
11:20
right? Your health, your wealth, your
11:22
purpose, your career, your relationships, yourself.
11:25
Look in all of those areas and understand who do you want to be
11:29
in that area and why do you want that?
11:32
Why does it matter for you to have that business?
11:35
Why does it matter for you to have that promotion?
11:38
And if all you can come up with is a surface level reason that
11:42
is to look good or for other people to think certain things
11:46
of you or to have status, those are not the needs of the soul.
11:50
We want to connect to the needs of the soul.
11:52
What are the needs of the soul? The needs of the soul are
11:55
growth, contribution, creating something in this life that
12:00
betters the world. So this gets me into kind of
12:03
understanding the different fuel sources.
12:05
And I want to get into this because I think it's essential
12:08
and it's probably the most important thing I'll say in this
12:10
episode. First is the desire to share.
12:13
Our soul is endlessly giving because our soul is created by
12:18
the impression of the Creator of God, of whatever you want to
12:21
call it, and God the Creator is endlessly giving.
12:24
And so when we have this desire because we want to share
12:28
something, it is going to be a very different fuel source.
12:31
Our motivation will be different, but also the
12:34
magnetism of what we create is going to be so much more potent.
12:38
So I talked to a lot of business owners who are just straight up
12:40
burned out and they're like, I've been working and working
12:43
and I'm trying so hard. And just like I feel like I'm
12:45
hitting a blockade, if you will. And often times it's because
12:49
they're moving from the wrong fuel source.
12:52
I really believe that you will get burned out significantly
12:55
less, if at all, if you are moving from the right fuel
12:58
source and you have good boundaries, right?
13:01
And all the other pieces of the equation to not get burned out
13:03
when we are doing something because we genuinely want to
13:06
share. I had a call with a client this
13:07
morning and I to adore this client and she is branching out
13:11
on her own and she's building up her coaching business.
13:13
And I see the light in her eyes. I see the posture of her body
13:17
when she talks about the work that she does with women.
13:21
It is fantastic. Her fuel source is so pure.
13:25
It is so powerful. And I know simply because that's
13:28
her fuel source, she's going to be incredibly successful because
13:33
she's fueled by the right energy.
13:35
Ultimately, this kind of goes down to love.
13:38
When we are fueled by love, when we are fueled by the desire to
13:41
give, to become more, to expand. Those are the fuel sources of
13:45
the soul. And the soul is endlessly
13:47
resourceful. It's endlessly magnetic.
13:49
It's always drawing everything it needs to you.
13:52
We get tripped up when we become fueled by the desires of the
13:57
ego. So what are those?
13:59
Those could be metrics having a certain amount of downloads,
14:03
having a certain amount of views, having a certain amount
14:06
of revenue in your business, right?
14:09
Without tying those to something deeper.
14:12
They're like a thin piece of paper waving in the wind.
14:16
They're never really going to anchor you and they're never
14:18
really going to allow you to feel this immense pole.
14:22
And I believe when we feel that immense pole, when we have that
14:25
magnetism, that is when, watch out, things become fantastic.
14:30
We begin to attract, we begin to magnetize everything that we
14:34
need and we like get into this incredible flow of life.
14:38
Things start to be drawn to US versus US having to force our
14:42
way through creating things. If your fuel source is other
14:45
people's approval. Oh, I'm going to do this because
14:47
my parents have always told me I'm supposed to be a doctor.
14:52
Not the right fuel source. I'm going to do this because
14:54
people are going to think it's so cool when I get there, right?
14:57
I'll show them. I shared on a previous episode
15:00
that I had this conversation with somebody that I was dating
15:03
a few years ago, and he was extremely successful.
15:06
And he said that the reason he created this level of success is
15:09
to show his dad that he was worthy, that he was good enough,
15:13
essentially. That's not a fantastic fuel
15:15
source. And that leaks into other areas.
15:18
We want to connect to the fuel source of the soul, the fear of
15:22
falling behind. If your fuel sources fear, I'm
15:25
sorry, but you have to upgrade that because that's eventually
15:28
going to run out. It's like using the wrong
15:31
gasoline in your car. It's going to gunk up your
15:33
engine. It's going to slow you down.
15:35
It might propel you to a certain extent, but what's going to get
15:39
you to the highest level of success that you can achieve,
15:41
the deepest level of fulfillment is having that fuel source
15:45
that's connected to the desires of your soul.
15:48
Tony Robbins talks about the art of fulfillment, I think it is
15:51
and the science of success, I believe are the 2 terms.
15:54
I might be getting those a little wrong, but he says that
15:56
the greatest failure is to be successful.
15:59
Without fulfillment, people can achieve wild levels of success
16:04
and feel terrible, be depressed, be anxious, be so, so deeply
16:10
unfulfilled and unaligned because they are not operating
16:13
from the right fuel source. And when you change this, when
16:16
you begin to serve something greater than yourself, whether
16:19
it's a certain community of people that you really care
16:22
about, whether it is because I really want to create a
16:25
fantastic life for my family. The more that we can get into
16:29
this desire to serve, the better our fuel source is going to be
16:33
because we are going to tap into realms of energy that we do not
16:37
have access to when we are only serving ourselves.
16:40
So the third piece I want to say about this, that was a little
16:42
bit of a tangent I went on there.
16:44
The third piece I wanna say is that resistance is not a sign to
16:48
stop. Oftentimes people will ask me,
16:51
you know, I have been really working toward this goal and I'm
16:54
feeling all of this resistance like it's not really working
16:57
out. It's very difficult.
16:58
It's challenging that's going to happen when you start to go
17:02
after something that you really want that is new, that requires
17:06
you to step into a new identity, you're going to experience
17:09
obstacles. I had this client message me
17:11
last week and she has just started dating again.
17:14
And she said that she had this experience where somebody wasn't
17:18
communicating and it was giving her a lot of anxiety.
17:20
And she's like, does this mean that I'm not meant to meet
17:24
someone? Does this mean that I, you know,
17:26
I'm repelling the kind of guy that I want to meet?
17:29
And I said, no, what's the opposite?
17:31
What this means is you're moving closer toward what it is you
17:34
want because the universe is showing you what you need to
17:36
heal. In order to receive the kind of
17:38
relationship that you want, you need to be able to communicate
17:43
clearly. You need to be able to regulate
17:46
yourself internally in order to have that kind of relationship.
17:49
So the universe is basically giving you a silver platter and
17:52
saying, listen, girl, this is what we got to heal.
17:55
So I'm giving you the perfect opportunity to heal it so we can
17:58
bump up a notch and then you can attract somebody who is
18:01
emotionally available, consistent, the right kind of
18:04
person that you want to have. And this is the same thing that
18:06
happens for when we want to be disciplined about something.
18:10
We will feel that resistance. It's natural, it's normal.
18:14
I recommend having a pathway for yourself, having a system in
18:19
place. When I feel resistance, this is
18:21
how I approach it. Last night I was preparing for
18:24
these podcast episodes that I'm going to be recording today.
18:27
And usually I don't procrastinate.
18:29
I don't do it the night before, but I've been extremely busy and
18:32
so I did it last night and I'm sitting there and I cannot think
18:35
of anything to write. And I realize it's because my
18:39
focus is in the wrong place. I'm focusing on what's going to
18:42
perform well, what's going to do well.
18:45
That's not the right fuel source at all.
18:47
So I took a break. I went on a walk.
18:49
I shifted my perspective and I said, I asked myself a better
18:53
question. I said, what is it that the
18:56
ideal person that I work with, the type of woman that I know my
19:00
work is meant for? What does she need to hear?
19:02
And I kind of sat there and then it began to flow.
19:05
I became very clear. And that's where this episode
19:07
came from, right? And then even before coming in
19:09
here to record this episode, I sat in silence to connect and
19:12
say thank you for giving me the words to share.
19:15
So that's how I approach resistance, right?
19:18
But what works for you? How can you approach resistance?
19:20
Because it's going to happen. It's not a sign that it's not
19:23
meant for you. It's a sign that you're being
19:26
shown where you need to expand in order to receive that next
19:29
level. I love the story about Jamie
19:31
Curran Lima. She's the founder of IT
19:33
Cosmetics, which was sold to L'Oreal for over a billion
19:35
dollars. And when she started that
19:37
business, she kept hitting no after no after no after no.
19:42
But she had this pull of her soul.
19:44
She had a deep watch and she knew that this was meant to be
19:48
successful, so she was able to overcome all of those Nos.
19:52
So when you're deeply connected to your why, your true soul
19:55
calling of why you want to do something, the resistance is
19:59
going to be a lot easier to overcome.
20:01
But no, the resistance is natural.
20:02
It doesn't mean it's not meant for you.
20:05
The next thing I want to share is.
20:07
Developing discipline, I want to get more into like the
20:10
tangibles, right? We've kind of talked about the
20:12
mindset around it, but I want to get into more of the tangibles.
20:15
And it's becoming the woman who keeps small, tiny promises to
20:19
herself. And this is really how I want
20:22
you to start. I'm going to give you a little
20:24
40 day challenge at the end of this to build your devotion, to
20:27
build your discipline. But really part of it is in
20:31
these micro moments when I wake up in the morning, I love to not
20:36
check my phone and I love to just have a conversation with
20:39
God about where I'm at, what I'm feeling, say thank you, thank
20:44
you for the day, thank you for everything, whatever that
20:48
conversation ends up being. And I know if I don't do that, I
20:51
don't feel as good the rest of the day.
20:54
It really sets me off, right? And so that's a tiny promise.
20:58
It doesn't take me very long. It's a tiny promise that I keep
21:01
to myself. When we keep these tiny
21:04
promises, our subconscious mind is like, oh, OK, so she's
21:08
someone that follows through. She's someone who keeps promises
21:13
to herself. Then when you want to go after
21:16
something bigger, starting a business, beginning to date and
21:19
meet the love of your life and start a relationship, that's
21:22
going to require you to open up and be different than you've
21:25
been in the past, right? Anything that requires self
21:28
trust, which is everything in life, your mind will look to
21:31
those tiny promises. So they're not tiny.
21:35
So what I encourage you to do is pick one to start with.
21:39
If this is something that's really challenging for you, pick
21:42
one very, very simple promise. And what you will notice is
21:46
after a couple weeks of doing that yourself concept, yourself
21:50
belief is going to improve. Then you can add another one.
21:54
Research shows that every single action that you take is
21:58
basically a vote for the kind of person that you want to be.
22:01
Is why these tiny moments matter because these tiny moments stack
22:05
up to becoming your entire life, right?
22:08
Your relationship with somebody. When you're dating someone or
22:11
married to someone, the relationship is not these grand
22:15
gestures. It's all the tiny moments.
22:18
Your relationship with yourself is all these tiny moments.
22:21
So if you struggle with self-confidence, self belief,
22:24
look at the promises you're making and not keeping to
22:27
yourself because I guarantee there is a a disconnect.
22:32
There's a disconnect between the person you say you want to be
22:35
and how you're actually showing up.
22:36
Another tool that you can use to create more consistency, more
22:41
follow through, is to bring joy and excitement and to
22:44
romanticize consistency, romanticize and make things
22:48
enjoyable for yourself. This podcast was something that
22:51
I wanted to be consistent with, and before last year, I was
22:56
decently consistent, but I sometimes wasn't.
22:58
And it wasn't until I committed to myself, I started recording
23:01
in a studio, I started investing in it that I never miss a day.
23:04
I'm so consistent with it, right?
23:06
I enjoy recording in the studio. It makes it more fun for me.
23:09
I like it. It makes it feel like a bigger
23:12
deal to me. And as a result, I've gotten a
23:14
way better result out of it, right?
23:16
So what can you do to kind of romanticize the things in your
23:20
life that you want to be consistent with?
23:22
Can you put on a really good playlist when you are budgeting
23:25
that way you really enjoy it. Maybe pour yourself a little
23:28
drink, right? Create an ambiance for yourself.
23:31
We love going to nice restaurants because we love the
23:33
ambiance. We love the feeling created.
23:36
So how can you create that feeling for yourself, especially
23:39
on things that you struggle to be consistent with?
23:42
Because we will do far more to move towards pleasure and we
23:46
will do a a lot to avoid pain. So how can you make the things
23:49
that you want to be consistent with pleasurable?
23:52
Maybe you light a candle, Maybe you reward yourself afterward.
23:57
Maybe going to the gym, you buy yourself a few really, really
24:00
cute workout sets that you're so excited to wear that you feel
24:04
really good on. So I want to end this episode by
24:07
giving you the 40 day devotion experiment.
24:10
And it's it's very, very, very simple.
24:12
And it's to help you become more devoted to yourself because
24:16
devotion is an act of self love. We begin to love ourselves more
24:21
when we show up for ourselves and we show ourselves.
24:24
We love ourselves by showing up for ourselves.
24:26
It kind of goes both ways. So I want you to 1st pick one
24:30
habit, not ten, that you're committing to for 40 days. 40 is
24:35
a very powerful number spiritually as well as in the
24:39
research on habits. So we want to commit to that.
24:42
We want to say, OK, for the next 40 days, figure out what that is
24:45
from when you're listening to this.
24:46
What's 1 habit that you're going to commit to?
24:49
It could be that you're going to write 3 sentences in your
24:51
journal every night and keep it small, keep it finite.
24:55
I'm going to drink a glass of water every morning when I wake
24:57
up. I'm going to move my body for 10
25:00
minutes every morning when I wake up.
25:02
I'm going to sit in silence for 5 minutes every day at 2:00 PM,
25:07
whatever it might be, right? Very simple habits start with
25:11
something really simple. I encourage you to start with
25:14
something you've been wanting to do.
25:15
Pick that one habit. Identify why you actually want
25:19
to do that. What is the bigger purpose
25:21
behind that habit, right? The soul level reason you want
25:24
to do that, it can be helpful to attach this habit to an existing
25:28
anchor. So this could be you stack it
25:30
with another habit you already do so maybe you have a glass of
25:34
water on your night stand. That way, you know, every
25:37
morning when you get up and you have, you're going to pick up
25:39
your phone, you see that glass of water, So it's easy, it's
25:42
stacked. Or maybe you, you do it right
25:44
before you brush your teeth. That way it's stacked with
25:47
something you already are consistent at doing.
25:49
Use that existing consistency that you have to create more
25:53
consistency. Track the outcome.
25:55
So when we track things, it's actually very, it gives us a lot
25:58
of dopamine. And so track that outcome, track
26:02
that decision for yourself and you can be a note on your phone,
26:05
but you'll see that progress. And when you see, wow, I've
26:08
already done this for 11 days. That's really cool.
26:10
And if you mess it up, instead of being like, Oh my gosh, I
26:13
suck. I'm the worst person ever.
26:15
Celebrate how consistent you had been and say, that's awesome.
26:19
I made it to 11 days. Let's make it to 40 days next
26:22
time, right? Celebrate rather than punish
26:25
yourself. It's insanely more healthy.
26:28
So that's the challenge I want to give to you.
26:31
If you want help with these deeper concepts right around
26:34
identity, around shifting your deeper beliefs about yourself
26:38
that are the foundation of everything, you can send me the
26:41
Word Podcast on Instagram and I will send you a 5 minute video
26:45
about my program where I guide you through that process of
26:48
really elevating your identity, helping you to manifest best
26:52
that next level of your life. So I hope you have absolutely
26:55
loved this. Please, if you feel inspired,
26:58
leave a review on the podcast, follow the podcast.
27:01
It really helps me so I can make more content like this for you,
27:04
make longer episodes, make more episodes.
27:07
I'd love to do all of that. So I hope you love this and I'll
27:10
see you in the next episode. Bye.
