  Speaker 1: Thank you. Hello, my friends from all across the globe,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and welcome to the Your Enriched Self podcast. I am
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: your host, Mylene Noir. I am an emotional wellness and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: empowerment coach. And what that means is I'm looking out
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: for you. I want you to become more of your
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: enriched self. And I know, and I'm sure you know
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: by now if you've been listening, that it all starts
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: with your mindset. What are you thinking about? What are
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you planting in the garden of your mind? Because those plants,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: those seeds become plants, those plants become trees. And then
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it becomes the forest of your life, becomes where all
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: your journeys are. And some of those journeys, some of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: those trees, some of those things don't belong in your life.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And that's what we want to talk about this week
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in particular. But if you stumble upon this podcast, you're
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: new to the Your Enriched Self podcast and family, I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: want to welcome you. Thank you for being here. I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: know that you were brought here on purpose, for a purpose.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: And if you are a repeat listener, I cannot continue
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to express my gratitude for you being here. 263 episodes later,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we started this journey over five years ago. And it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: is because of you. And I want to thank you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart for your continued participation
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in your life's journey and becoming more enriched and bringing
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: people along and tuning in and tapping in and being
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: committed to showing up for yourself, most importantly. So thank you. Now,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: one of the things I do each and every week
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is I make a deposit in the Bank of You.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: The Bank of You is really your... Bank of life.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And I want you to go out in life full.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And that's why I make this deposit. I do it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: start your day and to command your morning. And this
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: week's affirmation is I speak. And this week's affirmation is
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I speak life over myself, my future and my purpose.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I speak life over myself, my future, and my purpose.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I speak life over myself, my future, and my purpose. Now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: let's get ready for this week's episode of the Your
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Enriched Self podcast. Your words are on assignment. This is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a continuation of our conversation about the power of your tongue,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that death and life are in the power of your tongue.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And there are things that are said over and over
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: again that eventually may have you believing it. And so
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: this is when we talk about words are assignments. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: refer to the Bible because it's where I go a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: lot of times. Listen, the Bible truly is a blueprint, right?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And Genesis does a beautiful, powerful picture of how creation
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was brought in. God said, let there be. He spoke
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it and creation responded. Do you see how that works?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You see how that works. There are words that become assignments.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: God spoke and creation responded. There's another powerful scripture in
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the book of Isaiah. Isaiah 55 and 11. I love this.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I love this so much. And it says that the word,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the word goes forth. And it does not return empty.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It accomplishes what it said or what it was sent
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to do. I really want you to think about that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Isaiah verse. When your words go before you, it's going
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to come back with something. It's going to come back full.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Not empty. As Isaiah says, it does not return empty.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It accomplishes what it is sent to do. So now
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that you know that your words carry assignment, I want
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you to examine or do somewhat of a word audit
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: for a day, for an hour. And see what assignments
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: are you sending into your life each and every day
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: by your words. The things that you say. The things
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you have said. The things that you perhaps have repetitively said.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Think about it like this. I'm always tired. Always tired. Man,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I'm tired. How are you doing today? Man, I'm tired. Wow. Wow.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You want that to come back full of tired because
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that's what you put it on assignment for. Here's another one.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'm terrible with money. I don't know how to save.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not good saver. I never have money. I'm always broke. Listen,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: listen to me. This is where the rubber meets the road.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: This is where a lot of you get derailed, not
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: because of the enemy and this person doesn't like me
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and these are my ops and these people are haters. No, no, no, no.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: This is where the rubber meets the road because your
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: words are tearing you up. They're tearing you to shreds.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: They're living you for filth. living you broke, busted, disgusted,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and with nothing left. Simply because you are sending forth
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a word that's coming back full of what you just said.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's not coming back empty. Go back to Isaiah 55
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and 11. It's not coming back empty. It's going to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: come back full of what you said. So when you say,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I could just, man, I could never get a break.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I could never get ahead. I take one step forward
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and then 10 steps backwards. Every time you listen to me,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: listen to me, people. Every time you say these types
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of things, you are literally sending assignments out. You are
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: in that. Think about how God created creation. And he said,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: let there be. You're saying, let there be broke. Let
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: there be. I can't get ahead. Let there be. I'm
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: terrible with money. Let there be. I'm always tired. And
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: then you wonder why I'm always tired. You set it
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in motion. You spoke it into existence. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You did that. Not the haters, not the ops. You
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: did that. Some other things. I'm just not confident. I'm
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: not confident. I don't know that this is going to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: work out for me. Listen, it worked for the other people.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It worked for people who didn't have the experience, first
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: time doing this, all of the things, because they were
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: just willing to try. They were willing to go. They
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: were willing to do. I'll see what happens. The best
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: thing can happen to me today if I let it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Imagine if that came back full. man, I don't know
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen. I don't know if this is
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: even going to work out for me. Imagine if that
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: came back full. Listen, I really want you to start
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: auditing your words, auditing those phrases. And the thing about
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: this is most of you say these things over and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: over and over again. Remember what I said about belief systems.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It's not that you spent time in school studying your
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: belief systems. It's that you spent time speaking. You spent
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: repetitive activity doing things that you now believe about yourself
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: or you are in an environment some of you maybe
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: as children where you heard things about yourself and you
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you know you couldn't leave and you didn't know how
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to audit those words because those are not your seeds
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: those are not your words those were some other words
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that were planted in you but now you know better
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the eight-year-old version the 10-year-old the five-year-old version that heard
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that you're a terrible kid That you're not smart? Whatever
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it is that was said to you, I get it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: That's real pain. That's real trauma. But I'm here to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: tell you today that you need to extract. Some of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: those are not just plants anymore and they're no longer seeds.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: they're trees and you have to chop them down it's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: going to take some energy it's going to take some
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: tools that you have collected along the way you cannot
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: dig up a tree like you can a seed you've
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: got to chop that thing down you got some you
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: need some strength you need some muscle you You need
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: some equipment. That's certainly a lot different from a shovel.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And so that's what today is about. That's what this
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: conversation is about. When you start saying, I always choose
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the wrong people. I don't have the right friends. When
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you start agreeing with these things, you're going to get
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that to come back full of that. I'll never be
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: able to da-da, da-da, da-da. And guess what? Time and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: time again, you're never able to da-da, da-da, da-da. And
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: many of you are like, you know, you're over-exaggerating. These
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: things are harmless. Show me the fruit in your life.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I know I'm kind of going a little biblical on you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: But show me in your life where you spoke negatively
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and you got positive. Show me how you put negative
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and got positive. Show me how. Because I know you
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: can't prove that. I know you can't show that. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: know you have no evidence of that. But time and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: time again, I'm hearing from people that they said something
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: positive to start their day. They chose a positive outcome
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and they had a positive output. That is how it works.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I just had someone share with me that they woke
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: up one morning and they had a different talk track.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: They chose a different talk track. Listen, I'm not saying
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you got to be deep And you got to do
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: brand new things. I'm just saying, choose a new talk track.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: She chose a new talk track. And by the middle
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: of the day, something had changed. She saw a change.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: She recognized the change. Sometimes you're so much into your
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: talk track, you are like fighting for your limitations. You're like,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you know what? I just know today is going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: be bad. I just know it. I know it. I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: had a bad dream. I'm running late. This day is done. Listen,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that's your talk track. And you are literally fighting for
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the limitations of the day. You're saying, day, give me
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: your worst. And when the day gives you your worst,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, I can't believe it. Another bad day. Well,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: guess what? You sent those words on assignment to give
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you the worst. And when you get it, negative, you
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: send for negative, and you get negative, and you're like,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: where's my positive? It don't work that way. I really
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: want you to see the power... what you do listen
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to sugarcoat or you know be delusional
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that difficult circumstances aren't just gonna happen challenging things aren't
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: just gonna happen and they're not necessarily caused by words
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you can magically change your day
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: or change the outcome because of what you say. But
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: your words, more than anything else, are a participant in
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you shaping your mindset, your expectations, your identity, and your behavior.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Case in point, my trainer always says this to us,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and I will never forget this. we had a planking challenge.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: She all often challenges us in bootcamp and we were
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: planking and I had never planked with weights on my back.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And so she had someone in the class bring two
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: 45 pound plates on her back while she planked. She
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: put the, they put the first 45 pound plate on
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and I thought, Oh my gosh. And she was, unfazed.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And then they proceeded. She said, put another one on.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, this woman is insane. And I say
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that often about my trainer, but she did. And she
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: is insane, in fact. And they put it on and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: she was again, unflinched. And then she said, as she
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: looked out into the entire bootcamp, class of about 30 people,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: now you try it. And believe me, the first thing
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I said, and I'm one of these people, I love
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a good challenge. I love to see what I'm made of.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I can't do that. I literally said
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: in that moment, I can't do it. And I said,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, she's crazy and I'm not
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: going to do it. I said that I opened my
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: mouth and I said exactly that I'm not doing it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And so I had my partner go first. Of course,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it was a partner kind of challenge, right? You need
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: somebody to put these 45 pound plates on. And my
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: partner went. And I'm cheering him on. Listen, I'm one
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of your best cheerleaders. You know, I'm the person in
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: your corner. I'm the person encouraging you. I'm your accountability partner.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I'm the person giving you, like, give me that next one.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Give me the next 10. Give me the next five.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I am that person. So I'm cheering on my partner.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, my partner's doing it. And then it
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: was my turn. And part of it was I saw
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: my partner do it. And the other part of it was,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: this is why you came here. You came here to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: challenge everything about what you've done, everything about what you've
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: believed about yourself, everything that told you in the past
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: that you're limited. Because that's what happens to us as
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: we go out into the world. We start to believe
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: in the limits we hear about a woman over a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: certain age or a certain demographic or what have you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. And before you know it,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I had 90 pounds on my back and I was planking.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And I didn't flinch. My partner even said, man, you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: make this look so easy. And he meant it. And
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I was proud. Proud because I realized what my coach
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: had been saying all along. That my words, my thoughts
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: about me not what she thought, not what anybody else thought,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: but those were standing in my way, standing in my
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: way of shaping my mindset, my expectations, my behavior, my responses.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And that's what I want you to march into your evolution,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: your next step, your next season, your next month, your
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: next week, whatever your next is. Knowing that again, you're
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: not going to magically change what or control your reality,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: but you can participate in shaping that mindset. So the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: question I have for you as we wrap things up,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: what do you need to stop saying today, right now,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: because it no longer belongs in the future you're building.
