  Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe, and welcome
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to the Your and Yourself Podcast. I am your host,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: my Lee Noir. I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And what that means in this world is I am
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: here to help advocate for you. Listen, you have been busy,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and you have been moving, and you have been faced
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: with so many distractions that it's important to be intentional
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: about your thoughts. Your thoughts inspire your words, and those
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: words become the action and the activity that you take
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: each and every day in your life. And so it's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: important to have conversations to stimulate how you think about
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: what you think about. That's something we don't really do
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: as much in culture. We go from zero idea to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: execution and a lot of times there's not a lot
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of time spent managing your thoughts. And that's what we
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: do on this podcast. So if you are new to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this platform, I want to welcome you and thank you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for being here. I know that you are brought here
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: on purpose for a purpose. And if you are a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: repeat listener, if you have been podcasting with me, I
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: We've been podcasting for now four years, and it is
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: because of your participation, your sharing, liking, following, and sharing
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: your comments have kept this podcast afloat and have kept
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the energy and the moment ventum we need to continue forward,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and so thank you. Now before we get started into
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: this week's episode, if you know you know, one of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the things that I do is make a deposit into
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the bank of you, and I do that by way
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to start your
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: day and to command your mourning. And this week's affirmation
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: is I am grateful for what I can do. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: am grateful for what I can do. I am grateful
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: for what I can do. Now, let's get ready for
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, but I can't help but to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: reflect on this year. I know we're not at the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: end of year, but I think it's a good time
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to reflect knowing that there's still some year ahead, there's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: still a few months left in the year. It's important
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to think of where you've been, where you are now,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and what steps you have ahead of you. I think
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it's a good time to do that because we are
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a week away from the fourth quarter of twenty twenty five,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and I know that sounds really strange to even be
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: talking about this and being in this time period, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: this is where we are now, and there are some
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: things worth celebrating. I know, this year, like any year,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: has had highs and lows, and when you kind of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: accumulate and look at what you accumulated across this year,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you can definitely add those into your lifeline and that's important.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But what I want you to do today is to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: bring in some new currency. Some of us have spent
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this currency. Some of us have invested this currency, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we've seen it pay dividends, and maybe not in this
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: year as much as we wanted to, and maybe in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: some seasons before. But this currency I'm talking about that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I want you to have with you. I want you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to invest because you will see the payout and dividends
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is focus. Focus is the currency of Q four and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I want you to think about it like you would
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: your money. I want you to think about it like
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it is an investment strategy, and I want you to
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: think about it that like an investment strategy, it often
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't pay out right then and there. It takes a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: couple months, maybe sometimes even a couple years to see
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the payouts. And that's okay too. So today I want
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to provide you some points around this strategy of focus.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Where your focus goes, your energy flows. Just like your money,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: where you spend it, that's where your energy flows, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: so where you spend your focus, that's where your focus goes.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So if you scatter your attention and you move here
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and there and you don't have a clear direction our path,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you are going to dilute your results and you're not
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: going to see the payout you want to see in
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the future. So it's important to spend this season and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: for some of us, I will encourage you to journal.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I would encourage you to write down for yourself the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: things that you intend to invest in when it comes
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to your focus, when it comes to where your energy
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: will go in these next few months. The thing about
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: focus is that once you start doing those small intentional
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: things each and every day, it adds up. And you've
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: heard me say this before. Those little steps, those baby steps,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they add up, and if you do them continuously over
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and over again, you're building momentum. And so this season,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: as you are broaching Q four, I know we haven't
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: hit that mark yet. We're not on that part of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the timeline yet, but we're super close. If you start
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: choosing what's going to matter most in Q four, you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: can take that momentum and build it into the last
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: half of the year and move it directly into twenty
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: twenty six. And that way, when you step into the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: new year, you are and have been preparing. Right, you're
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not getting prepared, You've been preparing so and I've done
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: this before with a friend group of mine, where we
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: look at the Q four period, right, we look at
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that upcoming quarter, and I know we're not there yet.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: We're getting there, but this is a really good time
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to start thinking about Q four. A lot of times
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: we think about Q four when we're in Q four.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: We are about a week away from getting closer to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that mark. And I really want you to think through
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: what it is you need to focus in in Q
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: four so you can build momentum into the new year.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: So that way, you are already set for the direction
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you're going. You're not trying to pick up the pieces
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to recall where you need to be going. You're already
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: moving in that direction. The reason why I really want
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to bring focus in the forefront of your mind and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the conversations and where you are is because the focus
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that you have are going to be the guardrails you
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: need against distraction. I mean it literally is an opposing force.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: It is the kryptonite to distraction. Is what focus is.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: This world this year has been so so noisy, so
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: so noisy, and your focus will help you filter out
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the noise and get to the prize, get to the strategy,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: get to the point where you are watching and you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: are concentrated and you are involved only in the things
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that matter, only in the things that will serve you.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: That's what it does for you, and it counteracts distraction.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And as I mentioned, this has been a noisy year.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And as we are approaching fourth quarter, and I know
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of people think, well, we still have another month.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: We are approaching fourth quarter. I don't want you to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: wait till you get there to get there. I want
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you to be there when you get there, right. It's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: kind of the thing of if you show up on time,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you're already late. We don't want that. We want you
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to be there early. And this is Ford quarter. This
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is that prep cycle that we must have right now.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: To get where we want to go. There is power
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and focus. There is power in your choice to be
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: intentional right now so that you can stay concentrated in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: what it is that you need to give your full attention,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to give your full effort to so that you can
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: see the dividends be paid out. I hope you enjoyed
