Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe, and welcome
0:22
Speaker 1: to your in Rich Helf podcast. I am your host,
0:24
Speaker 1: Miilee Noir. I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach
0:29
Speaker 1: and what that means is I'm here for you. I
0:31
Speaker 1: am carving time each and every week for you to
0:35
Speaker 1: spend time becoming more of your enriched self. And it
0:38
Speaker 1: starts with your thoughts. And so this week we're doing
0:41
Speaker 1: something different, all together different. This is a week where
0:44
Speaker 1: I am going to put you to task. We are
0:47
Speaker 1: going to start a thirty day affirmation challenge and this
0:51
Speaker 1: is design for you to pour into your own cup. First,
0:55
Speaker 1: I know that you're out there in the world, and
0:57
Speaker 1: if I know who's listening to this, I know that
1:01
Speaker 1: you are a giver. You are constantly serving, but you're
1:05
Speaker 1: always coming up empty. You're always coming up short. Well,
1:09
Speaker 1: that is not what we want for you in this
1:13
Speaker 1: new year. We want your attention to grow, and it's
1:18
Speaker 1: going to grow where you flow your attention. We want
1:22
Speaker 1: you to be intentional about the seeds you plant in
1:25
Speaker 1: your life, so you're living a life of overflow and
1:28
Speaker 1: not always falling or feeling empty. So that's what this
1:33
Speaker 1: thirty day challenge is all about. We're going to talk
1:36
Speaker 1: a little bit more about it on this week's podcast.
1:39
Speaker 1: But before I get into the topic this week, if
1:42
Speaker 1: you know you know, one of the things that I
1:44
Speaker 1: do each and every week is make a deposit into
1:47
Speaker 1: the bank of you, and I do that by way
1:50
Speaker 1: of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to start your
1:55
Speaker 1: day and to command your mourning. And this week's affirmation
2:01
Speaker 1: is I overflow with purpose, peace and power. I overflow
2:10
Speaker 1: with purpose, peace and power. I overflow with purpose, peace
2:19
Speaker 1: and power. Now, let's get ready for this week's episode
2:24
Speaker 1: of the Your Enriched Self podcast. Every once in a while,
2:32
Speaker 1: I like to do a check in to see how
2:34
Speaker 1: things are going with you. I hope you are doing
2:36
Speaker 1: well and you are doing things every day in your
2:39
Speaker 1: life to become more enriched. We're probably just a week
2:44
Speaker 1: or so into the month of March, and it's so
2:46
Speaker 1: important right now just to do a check right because
2:49
Speaker 1: we're close to wrapping up the first quarter of twenty
2:53
Speaker 1: twenty six, and I know for a lot of you
2:55
Speaker 1: it may feel overwhelming. It may feel underwhelming because maybe
2:59
Speaker 1: you're looking at at the last couple months and realizing
3:02
Speaker 1: that you're not close or anywhere near the goals that
3:05
Speaker 1: you had set at the beginning of the year or
3:07
Speaker 1: at the end of last year. And I just want
3:09
Speaker 1: to come on to remind you not to be discouraged
3:12
Speaker 1: or distracted, especially distractions. I know that's been one of
3:16
Speaker 1: the biggest things for me over the course of the
3:19
Speaker 1: last year, quite honestly, that I have struggled with there,
3:23
Speaker 1: I say, and I'm working right now to ensure that
3:27
Speaker 1: I overcome that because there are things that I absolutely
3:29
Speaker 1: want to accomplish in twenty twenty six and just accomplish,
3:33
Speaker 1: you know, milestones throughout the year so that I'm not
3:37
Speaker 1: trying to do a heavy lift at the end of
3:40
Speaker 1: the year. So I want to encourage you right now
3:43
Speaker 1: to be encouraged and not discouraged because or if you
3:48
Speaker 1: are in a position where you haven't seen the output
3:51
Speaker 1: or the outcome that you desire, this is time to
3:54
Speaker 1: buckle down. And I know for me when I get
3:58
Speaker 1: to a point like this, especially when I am chasing
4:04
Speaker 1: a new challenge or a new situation. I don't know
4:07
Speaker 1: about you, but it's important for you to have a
4:11
Speaker 1: mantra or something you can lean on. And I know
4:14
Speaker 1: for me recently having some opportunities come my way in
4:19
Speaker 1: the workspace, and it's all new to me, and there's
4:22
Speaker 1: a lot of eyes and ears around what I'll be
4:26
Speaker 1: working on, so that can have a level of overwhelmed.
4:30
Speaker 1: But I want to remind you in moments like this,
4:33
Speaker 1: Moments like this when you're starting something new or you're
4:35
Speaker 1: doing something that's challenging, in moments like that, it's important
4:40
Speaker 1: to have things that will help lift your spirits and
4:45
Speaker 1: encourage you to stay on track. One scripture that I
4:48
Speaker 1: love and I lean on quite a bit is Joshua
4:53
Speaker 1: one and nine. It was actually the job and the
4:57
Speaker 1: role of Joshua to step in and fill in the
5:01
Speaker 1: shoes of Moses to help God's people and get them
5:05
Speaker 1: to the Promised Land. And he was able to accomplish
5:09
Speaker 1: that goal. But at Joshua's start, God gave him a promise.
5:16
Speaker 1: He said, do not be afraid and do not be dismayed,
5:21
Speaker 1: for I will be with you wherever you may go.
5:24
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, but those words are
5:26
Speaker 1: so comforting to me, and they remind me that I'm
5:30
Speaker 1: on this journey, but I am not alone. I'm on
5:32
Speaker 1: this journey and there might be some minutia, some confusion,
5:35
Speaker 1: some swirl, but I don't need to focus on that.
5:40
Speaker 1: I need to focus on the fact that I have
5:44
Speaker 1: God with me along the way. And so that is
5:47
Speaker 1: where I go, and that's how I lean in and
5:50
Speaker 1: stay grounded and structured and not distract shit, distracted or
5:58
Speaker 1: derailed from what I need to do by all the
6:01
Speaker 1: thought processes that might get into my head, the limiting beliefs,
6:05
Speaker 1: the lack all the things that you typically go to
6:10
Speaker 1: when you feel overwhelmed, afraid and unsure. Because there's a
6:15
Speaker 1: lot of unknowns in everything that we're doing. I mean,
6:18
Speaker 1: every day, the world you live in, the world you
6:21
Speaker 1: work in, play in, it's changing. And so those changes
6:25
Speaker 1: are the unknowns. Those are the different levers that are
6:28
Speaker 1: happening in life where people say life is life in
6:32
Speaker 1: and so with all those unknowns, it can allow you
6:35
Speaker 1: or lead you astray and down a dark path. And
6:38
Speaker 1: I want to remind you to step into the light,
6:41
Speaker 1: Step into your light. There is light in whatever it
6:45
Speaker 1: is that you want to pursue. You just have to
6:47
Speaker 1: change your mindset. You have to change what you're focused on,
6:51
Speaker 1: what you're focused, what you focus on expands and whatever
6:55
Speaker 1: you plant seeds in your mind on You're going to
6:59
Speaker 1: have to nurture water and you're going to eventually reap
7:02
Speaker 1: those plants, right, You're going to reap the harvest of
7:06
Speaker 1: whatever it is that you plant. So it's important in
7:08
Speaker 1: this season to be careful what you plant in your mind.
7:11
Speaker 1: So I want to leave you today with a challenge.
7:14
Speaker 1: I want to leave you with this challenge of affirmations.
7:18
Speaker 1: Now we are in the season of Lent, there's Ramadan,
7:21
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things that are happening right
7:24
Speaker 1: now where people are going into some spiritual alignment. And
7:30
Speaker 1: I know that I am definitely in that season as well.
7:34
Speaker 1: And oftentimes when you hear people go into fasting, they
7:37
Speaker 1: give things up, and you know, some of the spiritual
7:42
Speaker 1: practices around fasting do require some very specific things. I'm
7:47
Speaker 1: not challenging that. What I'm saying is I want to
7:51
Speaker 1: bring a challenge to help you pour into your cup.
7:55
Speaker 1: And so for the next thirty days, starting March sixth,
8:02
Speaker 1: which is on Friday, I want you to begin creating
8:08
Speaker 1: affirmations for your day. I want you to speak an
8:12
Speaker 1: affirmation over your life every day for the next thirty days,
8:17
Speaker 1: starting March ninth, I want you to spend time in
8:21
Speaker 1: these next thirty days speaking life over your life. It
8:27
Speaker 1: is so easy to fall into victim mode when life
8:34
Speaker 1: happens to you or when life is happening around you.
8:38
Speaker 1: I want you to spend the next thirty days being
8:40
Speaker 1: intentional every day to affirm you, to affirm who you are,
8:46
Speaker 1: who you were created to be, who you are created
8:49
Speaker 1: and brought here to serve. I want you to spend
8:52
Speaker 1: time pouring back into your cup. I always say before
8:56
Speaker 1: you start your day, before you go out to the world,
9:01
Speaker 1: it is so important that you create what you want
9:06
Speaker 1: to experience in the day. And how I do that,
9:10
Speaker 1: How I try to do that because I know we
9:11
Speaker 1: can't control the people around us, but what we can
9:14
Speaker 1: control is ourselves and how we view ourselves and what
9:19
Speaker 1: we say about ourselves. So I am putting this challenge
9:23
Speaker 1: out there so that you can leave this thirty days
9:27
Speaker 1: with a cup runneth over affirming yourself. Right, you don't
9:32
Speaker 1: leave your house every day without putting that affirmation into
9:35
Speaker 1: your cup, otherwise you are going to walk out into
9:38
Speaker 1: this world and whatever the first thing is received into
9:43
Speaker 1: your cup. Right, maybe you want to just have clear liquid.
9:47
Speaker 1: Somebody might put something dark in there. Maybe you want
9:50
Speaker 1: to have something that keeps you sober, and somebody's gonna
9:52
Speaker 1: put some poison in there. There are so many things
9:55
Speaker 1: that people will do, or people will bring into your space,
9:59
Speaker 1: into your life. I pour into your cup that will
10:02
Speaker 1: not and does not serve you. The thing about it is,
10:05
Speaker 1: if your cup is empty and you haven't done anything
10:09
Speaker 1: to add value or to bring into focus the things
10:15
Speaker 1: that are important to you, the things that matter to you,
10:18
Speaker 1: you are going to be subject to getting whatever the
10:22
Speaker 1: world gives, right, whatever your boss gives, whatever the person
10:26
Speaker 1: driving in front of you that cuts you off give,
10:28
Speaker 1: and that becomes how you fill your cup up for
10:31
Speaker 1: the day. And so that's why I say for the
10:34
Speaker 1: next thirty days, I want you to be intentional before
10:38
Speaker 1: you leave your home, but certainly as you are out
10:41
Speaker 1: and about throughout the day to continue to be filling
10:44
Speaker 1: up your cup and as you close out your night.
10:47
Speaker 1: So that is your challenge for the next thirty days,
10:50
Speaker 1: positive affirmations into your cup into your life. Write them down.
10:55
Speaker 1: I think writing them down is a great way to
10:57
Speaker 1: capture them. You can RepA heat the same one maybe
11:01
Speaker 1: in one week. So however you want to do this.
11:06
Speaker 1: Another recommendation maybe to record your affirmation right, record a
11:11
Speaker 1: series of affirmations and spend time listening to your voice.
11:14
Speaker 1: I know there are affirmation apps, and there are affirmation
11:19
Speaker 1: playlists actually that you can find in whatever Google store,
11:23
Speaker 1: Apple store, but it's so important to hear yourself affirm yourself.
11:28
Speaker 1: So I do recommend creating your own playlist and your
11:32
Speaker 1: own recordings of how and what you want to pour
11:35
Speaker 1: into your cup each day, and as you're getting ready
11:38
Speaker 1: for the day, you can be listening to it. I
11:40
Speaker 1: do that a lot of times with the Bible app.
11:42
Speaker 1: If I want to read a Bible passage, or study
11:44
Speaker 1: a Bible passage, or learn something about the Bible or
11:49
Speaker 1: something that was spoken in the Bible, I'll play the
11:51
Speaker 1: Bible app while I'm getting ready, or if I'm at
11:54
Speaker 1: the gym. Sometimes I notice sounds strange, but I work
11:56
Speaker 1: out the podcasts, I work out to anything that's feeding
11:59
Speaker 1: my soul. And so I want you to spend these
12:02
Speaker 1: next thirty days starting March sixth, feeding your spirit, feeding
12:08
Speaker 1: your soul, and doing that by way of affirmations. I
12:12
Speaker 1: say it every week. It's a great way to start
12:14
Speaker 1: your day and to command your morning. You are setting
12:18
Speaker 1: an intention of attention into your atmosphere, into your world,
12:24
Speaker 1: into the place that you are going to reside. Right
12:28
Speaker 1: you are with yourself all the time, one hundred percent
12:31
Speaker 1: of the time, why not be with a being, a
12:34
Speaker 1: person that you know is served well. And the only
12:37
Speaker 1: way to be served well is to know what you
12:39
Speaker 1: need and what you want. And I know you know
12:41
Speaker 1: what you want. I know you know what you need,
12:43
Speaker 1: and it starts with your affirmation. Those are the seeds
12:47
Speaker 1: that you are planting in your mind about the life
12:50
Speaker 1: you want to experience, the life you desire. It all
12:54
Speaker 1: starts with the seeds you're planting, because as I mentioned before,
12:58
Speaker 1: you are going to reap whatever it is you sow.
13:01
Speaker 1: And the seeds that you're sowing right now, these seeds
13:05
Speaker 1: in these next thirty days are going to be crucial
13:07
Speaker 1: for you to walk out from those thirty days into
13:10
Speaker 1: the balance of this year and begin to reap the benefits,
13:13
Speaker 1: reap the rewards. Yes, I know it's just words, but
13:16
Speaker 1: let me tell you what There are words you are
13:19
Speaker 1: carrying today that were affirmations in the wrong direction. There
13:24
Speaker 1: might have been word curses where somebody said you weren't
13:27
Speaker 1: good enough. Yeah, those are curses when people say things
13:30
Speaker 1: about you that you start to believe that are not true,
13:34
Speaker 1: but you adopt it. When somebody says you're not good enough,
13:37
Speaker 1: you're not qualified enough, you aren't going to be ready
13:40
Speaker 1: to do such a thing, I don't see you in that.
13:43
Speaker 1: Those are things that people limitations, people place on you.
13:47
Speaker 1: Some of those things do end up being word curses
13:49
Speaker 1: because you're living with those things today. You've believed those
13:53
Speaker 1: lies for a long time. I had a couple episodes
13:55
Speaker 1: back where we talked about what we believe it lie, right,
14:01
Speaker 1: So the lie identities that have been issued upon you,
14:05
Speaker 1: and so this thirty days is going to give you
14:07
Speaker 1: an opportunity to reclaim your identity, let go of the
14:12
Speaker 1: lie identity, and be aligned more what it is that
14:16
Speaker 1: you want to experience in life. Listen, it starts with
14:19
Speaker 1: your thoughts. I say it each and every week. That's
14:21
Speaker 1: what the focus and the foundation of this podcast is.
14:25
Speaker 1: It is a mindset set of rules, right, and that
14:31
Speaker 1: starts with how you see yourself and what you see
14:35
Speaker 1: and what you say, what you plant is eventually how
14:39
Speaker 1: you are going to live and what you're going to
14:42
Speaker 1: see from the fruits of the trees and the seeds
14:46
Speaker 1: that you plant in your life. So that's the challenge.
14:50
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that you are ready, that
14:52
Speaker 1: you are getting yourself prepared for this great season. It's
14:56
Speaker 1: a great season to gift yourself this time and gift
15:02
Speaker 1: yourself these reminders of just who you are and how
15:07
Speaker 1: important you are to your life story. And the thing
15:10
Speaker 1: about it is when you think about it, when you
15:13
Speaker 1: understand how important you are to your life story, and
15:17
Speaker 1: how doing these types of things help you see yourself
15:23
Speaker 1: in a better light, approach life differently. You are now
15:27
Speaker 1: putting yourself in a better position to bless others, a
15:31
Speaker 1: better position to support others, a better position to be
15:35
Speaker 1: there for others. Because we know that you have friends,
15:39
Speaker 1: you have family, you have people in your immediate household
15:42
Speaker 1: who need you, but they can't get who you are,
15:47
Speaker 1: the blessing of who you are if you are depleted,
15:51
Speaker 1: if you are not able to give them anything because
15:56
Speaker 1: you have nothing to give. And so that's why this
15:59
Speaker 1: exercise is critical because it is an opportunity for you
16:04
Speaker 1: to make sure you have what you need every day
16:07
Speaker 1: and when you are in overflow, which is a beautiful season,
16:10
Speaker 1: That's the outcome that I want for each and every
16:13
Speaker 1: one of you, is not just to have these affirmations,
16:16
Speaker 1: but to bring it to life and to have with
16:20
Speaker 1: that life the overflow the cup run over. That way,
16:24
Speaker 1: you have enough for yourself and you can give freely.
16:28
Speaker 1: And that is the blessing right to be able to
16:30
Speaker 1: give like you've never been able to give before. Your attention,
16:35
Speaker 1: your ideas, your innovation. There's so much inside of you
16:41
Speaker 1: that you are able to give once you are in
16:44
Speaker 1: a position where you can do so. And that's what
16:48
Speaker 1: this season is all about. I'm excited for you. I'm
16:51
Speaker 1: excited for how you will see yourself when you look
16:54
Speaker 1: in the mirror at the end of the thirty days,
16:57
Speaker 1: what you're going to see. I know you're going to
16:59
Speaker 1: see a new being. I know you're going to experience
17:01
Speaker 1: yourself in a new way. And that's what this is
17:04
Speaker 1: all about. It's all about growth and intention and where
17:07
Speaker 1: you put your attention. And so that's what the season
17:11
Speaker 1: is all about. This is the challenge. Starting March sixth,
17:15
Speaker 1: we are going to spend thirty days affirming ourselves every day,
17:20
Speaker 1: multiple times a day, but certainly do it at the
17:24
Speaker 1: very start of your day before you leave your home,
17:26
Speaker 1: so that you are enriched and when you go out
17:29
Speaker 1: in the world. Everything else that's good is just going
17:32
Speaker 1: to be icing on the cake. Everything else that's bad,
17:35
Speaker 1: I don't need it because I'm already full. It's not
17:37
Speaker 1: going to sit in my cup. So that's the intention.
17:41
Speaker 1: Wishing you all the best in the season. Take this
17:44
Speaker 1: exercise to heart. Make it part of your daily routine.
17:50
Speaker 1: I think you're probably adopted for the rest of this year,
17:53
Speaker 1: probably the rest of your life. Either way, it's a win.
17:56
Speaker 1: It's a win is a win, right. If you do this,
17:59
Speaker 1: all you're doing is you're adding value to your life
18:02
Speaker 1: and you're enriching yourself and that's what it's all about.
