- 0:00Welcome to the Diva Details. Welcome to the Diva Details.
- 0:05Where bold, confident women embrace life unapologetically.
- 0:10From love and sex to wellness and reinvention. We keep it raw, real and powerful.
- 0:30Well, hello, everybody. This is Diva Mia, and today I want to talk a little bit about gratitude.
- 0:36Gratitude is very important in relationships, and there is quite an art to actually having gratitude.
- 0:42It's important whenever you're trying to grow financially, physically,
- 0:46emotionally, and in your relationships and love life.
- 0:49Do a little practice with me. Now, if you're not driving, you can do this.
- 0:52If you're driving, please don't do this.
- 0:54But close your eyes, take a deep breath, breathe in, and think of one thing
- 0:59or one person or a moment in life that you're really grateful for.
- 1:04How does that make you feel?
- 1:06It just changes your whole perspective. The reality is that every day we should be grateful.
- 1:11Every day there's so much in our lives to be grateful for.
- 1:15It's funny because I told somebody, they're like, what kind of weather do you
- 1:17like? I'm like, I like all weather. I am grateful when it's sunny.
- 1:20I'm grateful when it's rainy. I'm grateful to see the lightning.
- 1:24I like all kinds of weather, and I'm grateful just to be here.
- 1:27Gratitude is kind of a mindset, and when you get into a gratitude mindset,
- 1:32you're going to be amazed at what you attract into your life.
- 1:35It's not just appreciation.
- 1:37It's like a frequency.
- 1:38It's a power, a state of mind, and it's healing too.
- 1:43So if you have any diseases, cancer, autoimmune diseases, even arthritis,
- 1:48change your mindset and shift it into an attitude of gratitude and you'll find
- 1:52that you heal a lot quicker because gratitude actually changes your physical
- 1:57state. It also changes your hormones.
- 2:00Gratitude will shift your body, your mind, and your energy field in a positive
- 2:04way that if you're sick or ill, you'll heal faster.
- 2:08And if it does that to the body, think of what it can do to everything else around you.
- 2:12So by the end of this episode, I hope you're going to heal emotionally,
- 2:16maybe physically and spiritually as well.
- 2:18Think about changing your frequency.
- 2:22And your attitude and your mindset for the long term. Because an attitude with
- 2:26gratitude is really life-changing.
- 2:29It will make you happy overall.
- 2:31It'll make you grateful for what you have.
- 2:33It's not so you envy the things you don't have. You're grateful for what you
- 2:37have, and you come more into your life that way.
- 2:40So first, we're going to kind of start with the science, because I'm a very
- 2:43analytical and scientific woman.
- 2:46Then we're going to kind of go into the spiritual crossover with gratitude and
- 2:49healing and the law of attraction, etc. During this time, this is the holiday
- 2:53season, I really do think it is so important to have an attitude of gratitude.
- 2:58Let's talk science first. When you're grateful and you're happy and you're joyful
- 3:03and you're loving life, and you don't have to be rich to be here, guys.
- 3:08It doesn't matter where you are financially. It doesn't even matter where you are physically.
- 3:12It's a mindset shift. When you get there, you're going to lower your cortisol levels.
- 3:16So stress hormone, everybody knows, can add weight gain.
- 3:19It causes inflammation. If you can lower your cortisol level by being grateful,
- 3:24you're going to have a healthier body overall.
- 3:27It's also going to improve your sleep. If you're sleeping better,
- 3:30that will also take care of inflammation and help with weight loss, etc.
- 3:34Then the inflammation alone that goes down when you're grateful is an amazing thing.
- 3:38I honestly think whenever I'm grateful, I always put my hand over my heart and
- 3:42I say what I'm grateful for.
- 3:44Now, having gratitude is great for your heart, but it feels like there's more of a connection.
- 3:49When you're grateful and you put your hand over your heart and you say,
- 3:52I'm just so grateful for such and such person or I'm so grateful for the home
- 3:56I have or the wealth I have or God or the weather or anything in your life.
- 4:02The fact that you can listen to this.
- 4:04There are people, guys, that can't hear. There are people that can't see.
- 4:08When you have an attitude of gratitude, you're grateful for the things you don't have.
- 4:11A lot of times we get wrapped up, poor me syndrome doesn't get you anywhere.
- 4:14All it does is bring in more poor me. I want you to grow.
- 4:18I want everyone to grow. If we grew as a society and we grew as a human race,
- 4:22the whole world would be better.
- 4:24Put your hand over your heart and say what you're grateful for.
- 4:26Close your eyes, breathe in deep, and just really feel it.
- 4:29You're going to also strengthen your immune system because there's been tests
- 4:32done that when you're grateful and hopeful and happy, your immune system goes up.
- 4:37You improve your, any autoimmunes can improve, cancer decreases.
- 4:40It's just good for you overall.
- 4:42Gratitude also helps with emotional healing. I will say when I was going through
- 4:46my divorce, I focused a lot on gratitude.
- 4:49Part of my divorce coaching that I went through was you need to list out the
- 4:53things you're grateful for every day.
- 4:54Every morning you would do it. Every night you would do it and say,
- 4:57I'm just grateful for these things. And it does help shift your mindset.
- 5:01So if you're going through a tough time right now, financially,
- 5:04physically, emotionally.
- 5:07Write down the things you're grateful for and see how much
- 5:10it shifts your mindset it takes away the poor me syndrome and shifts it to i
- 5:15am so blessed to have what i have and it can be a loss of a spouse it can be
- 5:20a death of someone it can be a divorce it can be loss of a job or financial
- 5:24bankruptcy but there's still gratitude and there's still things to find happiness and joy in,
- 5:30It helps rewire your brain, too. I think that humans are innately designed to feel safe.
- 5:37And when we feel a threat, our cortisol goes up. When we're worried,
- 5:40our cortisol goes up. And we go into fight or flight.
- 5:43But when you're in a state of mind of gratitude, you feel more peace. You feel more safety.
- 5:49It shifts your mindset. It's going to shift it from a victimhood and a poor
- 5:53me and a laziness to an idea of empowerment.
- 5:57Look at what I have. Look at what I have to be grateful for. I am so blessed.
- 6:02Each one of us out here is blessed, guys. We really all are.
- 6:06There are things to be grateful for because when I was growing up, I had it kind of rough.
- 6:10I would always say to myself, somebody out there has it harder than me,
- 6:13and they survived just as well, if not better than me.
- 6:16I always said, I have no poor men in me. I started that at an early age,
- 6:21but you don't have to start it at an early age. You can do that at any age.
- 6:24It really does shift your mindset. We do need to control our minds.
- 6:29We really do because our minds, honestly, I think they naturally tend to go
- 6:33in the negative or the worry, all the possible things that could go wrong.
- 6:37It's your mind's way of saying, hey, we're thinking of all the possibilities so that you stay safe.
- 6:42But what if we could shift it to all the possibilities that could happen that were positive?
- 6:48And then you look towards the future. You look towards the positive of what
- 6:52you have now. You just change from a victimhood to empowerment.
- 6:55Now, I know this is a shift.
- 6:56I know the news and the media bring in a lot of negative, but gratitude is a growth mindset.
- 7:02People that have gratitude, they grow. They strive for new things.
- 7:06They get rid of victimhood. They're empowered.
- 7:08They realize that most of the things in life are in their control.
- 7:12Now, there's things we don't control, but if you shift to a positive mindset,
- 7:16you will find yourself enlightened and able to control a lot more than you thought
- 7:20you could. I think that when people go through healing from heartbreak or illness
- 7:24or trauma, gratitude has to be a practice.
- 7:27It really does. If you can get into this mindset, you're going to heal a lot faster.
- 7:32And you'll get off of what the other person has done to you or what bad health
- 7:37you have right now to what possibility you have.
- 7:40Because you have a great current and an even better future. Gratitude will attract more love.
- 7:46I found that the more you're grateful, the more love you'll attract in your
- 7:50life, whether it's from friends or family or whomever, and people will show up for you.
- 7:54It'll also attract money. I got a check in the mail the other day.
- 7:57I wasn't expecting. I was so excited and hopeful.
- 7:59It brought me joy, and I was already in a joyful state. It was nice to get a check in the mail.
- 8:04Then there'll be new opportunities that open up. I think a lot of times we think
- 8:08that if we're tough on ourselves or we push ourselves, we'll get to opportunities.
- 8:13But I'm here to tell you, keep pushing yourself, but don't drown...
- 8:17Yourself in you know all the mistakes you made look at all the great things
- 8:22you're doing and opportunities will begin to open up i always say to myself i already have enough.
- 8:28And but the universe is a growth universe and it does like to multiply things
- 8:34people that have a growth mindset enough is never enough honestly if you're really,
- 8:39In a growth mindset, you'll be grateful for what you have, but you'll always be striving for more.
- 8:44It doesn't mean that you have to always have the biggest house.
- 8:47It doesn't mean that once you get to a 5,000 square foot house,
- 8:49you have to have a 10,000 square foot house or whatever.
- 8:52What it means is that you're happy in your 2,000 square foot house or 1,000
- 8:57square foot house, and you're striving for more.
- 8:59And you're grateful, truly grateful for what you have.
- 9:02I love my house. Do I want a bigger house? Yeah.
- 9:05But I'm truly grateful for what I have. I already have enough.
- 9:08I just am striving to always improve and become more because that's my belief and that's my mindset.
- 9:15What is yours? Are you a growth mindset person? Are you just okay with what
- 9:19you have and getting by? It's truly a mindset shift. That's all it is, the difference.
- 9:23If you're happy with where you're at and where you're getting by, that's fine.
- 9:27Then find someone else that you're happy with, that you're happy with just getting
- 9:31by because then you need a match and a line. We've talked about that in the past.
- 9:35But gratitude, even if you're just getting by, being grateful for what you have
- 9:39and just getting by will still attract more into your life.
- 9:43Gratitude, it's a subconscious belief about your worthiness and what you can
- 9:48achieve. It removes desperation and it replaces it with kind of a magnetic energy.
- 9:54The energy that draws things to you. It makes you happy. It makes you joyful.
- 9:59There are times in life when everybody goes through stuff. you may fall into a pit of despair.
- 10:06It's a lack energy. It's a wanting energy.
- 10:09You feel like there's no hope. Everybody goes through it because things are
- 10:14going to happen that are out of your control.
- 10:16You can't control other people, what they do, and you may fall down.
- 10:20However, I will say that gratitude brings in a feeling of abundance.
- 10:24It's an abundance energy.
- 10:26And when you bring in that abundance, you see that there's endless possibilities.
- 10:30Endless, and I'm talking endless. There's no ceiling on possibilities.
- 10:35I think affirmations are important, but I think the big thing is just shifting that mindset.
- 10:40Every day, you can find something positive.
- 10:44I attribute a lot of this to my father. He was a very positive man.
- 10:48He was a very joyful man, but a very positive man. He would...
- 10:52Attract things. Now, he wasn't well off, but he was joyful in what he had and
- 10:57very appreciative to what he had.
- 11:00Whenever he needed things, things showed up for him.
- 11:02His joy helped me growing to a person that had a positive mindset all the time.
- 11:07It helps with abundance. It really does. When you get knocked down, it's okay.
- 11:12But get yourself back up as soon as you can and do it with the tool of gratitude.
- 11:17One of the things you can say is, I am grateful for the abundance that flows
- 11:20to me naturally, easily, and joyful.
- 11:23The universe wants to provide for me. The universe is giving to me every day.
- 11:27I am open, open to receive. I am joyful and loving to all that come around me.
- 11:34I think that being joyful is truly, truly important.
- 11:38Most people, their default is to fear, to worry, to be scared,
- 11:43to be stressed, to focus on survival mode.
- 11:46And being grateful means that you have to get out of your mindset.
- 11:50If you're fearful or worried all the time about a relationship,
- 11:53about money, about your health, it's going to call into more bad things. It really does.
- 12:01I don't know exactly the science behind it, but you tend to attract more of it.
- 12:05If you sit around talking to your friends and telling them how terrible life
- 12:08is and how miserable you are and how you're never going to find the right person
- 12:13or you're never going to make the money you want to make, or you're never going
- 12:17to get there because words matter.
- 12:18If you call yourself stupid, or if you tell yourself that you're a loser,
- 12:22if you tell yourself you're poor, or if you complain about what you have,
- 12:28you're going to call more of that in.
- 12:29If you complain about your small house, or if you complain about the neighbors,
- 12:33or if you complain about your friends, you're going to get more of that.
- 12:37Stop talking about people and start learning about growth and educate yourself.
- 12:42All of those things will make you better.
- 12:45Complaining and being fearful and worrying and stressing.
- 12:48Staying in survival mode is not helping you. It's a conscious shift and it takes
- 12:53daily work. I'm here to tell you it does. Every day.
- 12:56It takes work. But I wake up every day happy and joyful. I wake up every day
- 13:01and I find something before I actually step out of bed,
- 13:04to be grateful for. And I say to myself in my head, thank you, God.
- 13:09I'm so grateful that I have XYZ. I'm so grateful that the sun is shining today.
- 13:14I'm so grateful that it's raining and I get to see lightning.
- 13:17I'm so grateful that I have friends that care for me. I'm so grateful that I
- 13:22have family that loves me. I'm so grateful for my children.
- 13:25I'm so grateful for the fact I have a roof over my head because people,
- 13:29there are people out there that don't.
- 13:31If you don't, be grateful that you're still alive and that tomorrow you can
- 13:35make it a little bit better.
- 13:36And in life, we get better by baby steps.
- 13:38Typically, some people, yes, there are get-rich-quick schemes out there,
- 13:43but most people get better by baby steps.
- 13:45Now, your baby steps may be bigger than mine or smaller than mine,
- 13:48but baby steps is how we grow, one step at a time.
- 13:51So walk through your gratitude, walk through your joy, walk through your happiness.
- 13:57And if you're miserable and angry, worried and fearful, and you've been hurt, Take one step at a time.
- 14:04Find one thing you're grateful for. Here's a cute little thing you can practice.
- 14:10Everybody has a street block, no matter where you're at.
- 14:13Now, it might be you live in the country and the roads are a mile long,
- 14:17so you have a four-mile block.
- 14:19But anyway, then you have a lot to be grateful for.
- 14:22Go on a walk and every step, walk slow.
- 14:26Say something in your head you're grateful for. Like step one,
- 14:29I'm grateful for my kids. Step two, I'm grateful for my health.
- 14:32Step three, I'm grateful for my hair. I'm grateful for my hands.
- 14:35I'm grateful that I can walk on this planet.
- 14:37I'm grateful for the air I breathe. I'm grateful for the fresh water I have.
- 14:41I'm grateful for the sun. I'm grateful for the trees.
- 14:44I'm grateful for the beauty around me. Can you imagine by the time you walk
- 14:48around one block, how many things you can find that you're grateful for?
- 14:52That will shift your mindset.
- 14:54If you're in a funk, if you're depressed, if you're sad, if you're annoyed,
- 15:00if you're hurting, Just try this one exercise once.
- 15:04And see how it shifts your entire day. I mean, shift your entire month.
- 15:09Now do it once a day and see how your life changes and expands.
- 15:14Don't make it a rote routine, but truly be grateful for the things.
- 15:17I'm grateful that I have shoes to walk in.
- 15:19I'm grateful that I came from a very poor situation growing up,
- 15:24and now I'm doing well financially.
- 15:26I'm grateful for everything that has happened in my life.
- 15:30I'm grateful for the good, and I'm grateful for the bad. I'm grateful that things
- 15:34have grown and people grow with me.
- 15:36All of those things you can be grateful for. I call it a resting emotional state.
- 15:41So when you don't have trauma,
- 15:43going on in your life when you're in a daily situation. So let's say that you
- 15:48went through a divorce, but you feel pretty healed from it and you're back to normal.
- 15:51What is your daily resting emotional state?
- 15:55Are you in worry? Are you in fear? Are you in joy?
- 15:57And this is a good test as well to see if you need to do more gratitude.
- 16:02Because if your daily emotional state is sadness or fear or loathing or exhaustion,
- 16:09you're missing the joy of life.
- 16:12Your resting emotional state should be happiness. It should be joy.
- 16:16That's an elevated state and it'll draw more into you.
- 16:19And if you're not there yet, do the trip around the block exercise and see how
- 16:25it shifts and keep doing it until you shift into a joyful state.
- 16:30Now, that's not the only way to reprogram your brain. And this is really reprogramming
- 16:35because I believe that we are programmed from childhood to be fearful.
- 16:40I believe we're programmed from childhood and then teenage years to be scared
- 16:45and stressed and worried. We're programmed by the parents around us.
- 16:48We're programmed by our friends.
- 16:50We're programmed by social media. We're programmed by the news to have the worst emotional state.
- 16:56That takes a lot of work to reprogram you because when you're a baby,
- 16:59most babies giggle a lot.
- 17:01Most babies, they see a face and somebody smiles at them And they just start
- 17:04giggling They're happy to be alive and they're grateful But then what happens
- 17:08is they start to walk As you're walking as a baby Watch, be careful Watch
- 17:12Don't hit that. You're going to hit your head. Oh, be careful.
- 17:15That comes from your parents. And they do it to make sure that you don't hurt yourself.
- 17:19But at the same time, they're creating a little bit of worry and fear in you
- 17:23and stress, if we're honest.
- 17:25Then there's don't cross the road, make sure. Oh, look, look.
- 17:28Then there's the I need to keep an eye on you.
- 17:31Don't go outside unless I'm with you. All of these things create fear and worry.
- 17:35As you grow up, then you become a teenager. You get fear and worry from your friends.
- 17:39You get fear and worry from your teachers. you have negative teachers
- 17:42that are saying the world is going to end that people are fascists
- 17:46or that there's you know everybody's out to
- 17:48get them or people are racist they're calling other people's names they create
- 17:52war create hostility that's not a positive state it's creating stress it's creating
- 17:58fear it's creating worry now why do people do that they can sell a product their
- 18:02news gets more commercial sponsorship when they get more viewers and they've found that.
- 18:07Viewers turn in to see things that are stressful.
- 18:11I mean, why does everybody slow down so much and have a gapers delay in an auto accident?
- 18:16Because it's a stressful situation. They want to see and gape.
- 18:21People aren't gaping as much about joyful things as they do about stressful
- 18:24things. So that's why the media believes they can sell more advertising slots.
- 18:28It really comes down to money, guys. It's that simple.
- 18:31By giving people fear, worry, and stress.
- 18:33Then they get into a mindset and it becomes a state of being.
- 18:36Their new emotional resting mental state is stress, worry, and fear. It snowballs.
- 18:43You get it from the media. You get it from your friends. You get it from teachers, which is shameful.
- 18:48Nobody teaches positivity, gratitude. Nobody teaches joy, peace, or expansion.
- 18:54Expansion really is a growth mindset because gratitude leads to joy and happiness.
- 18:59And when you have joy and happiness, you have an inner peace that you can't
- 19:02buy. That inner peace that you get just from gratitude, billionaires can't buy it.
- 19:08Anyone can get it. But it takes work.
- 19:11It takes mental focus and it takes work, mental work. Then once you get to peace,
- 19:15your next step is expansion and you expand into new areas.
- 19:18You expand into joy. You expand into peace. You expand into wealth.
- 19:22You expand into emotional wealth.
- 19:24Once you have this positive gratitude, emotional state, you can do anything. I mean anything.
- 19:30There's no limit. The exercise of walking around the block, I'll go back to
- 19:34that, is a great way to go.
- 19:35You can also journal and you can write what you're happy for.
- 19:38Now, the interesting thing about journaling and your gratitude is you write.
- 19:42You think you're never going to look back at it and just put the date and three
- 19:45things you're grateful for every day, every morning, every night. It changes your world.
- 19:50Then what happens is, and it takes like 10 seconds, maybe 20.
- 19:53It doesn't take long at all.
- 19:54Then you go back and I like to do it quarterly. You could do it monthly.
- 19:58You could do it annually, whatever you like. You go back to,
- 20:00say, three months or six months or a year.
- 20:02You'll see things you were grateful for a year ago. Maybe you're grateful that
- 20:06you have an apartment to rent and you can make the bills. Then you're grateful
- 20:10for the fact that you have a car.
- 20:11Then a year later, you might be grateful for the fact you just bought your first
- 20:14house or you got a brand new car.
- 20:16Then a year later, you might be grateful for the fact you started a new business and it's accomplished.
- 20:20You all did it from just daily gratitude, from writing three things you're grateful
- 20:24for every morning and every night.
- 20:26You'll see how your world shifts and changes.
- 20:29It's amazing. What you can do to help reprogram your mind is,
- 20:33you know how social media and we have electronics and our phones,
- 20:36we're on them all day long.
- 20:37Maybe set up a reminder first thing in the morning. So you can set it up on
- 20:40your Alexa device or whatever, your Apple device or your phone.
- 20:44And just have a reminder pop up within like a minute of you waking up.
- 20:48It's time for your gratitude journal or it's time to write your gratitude.
- 20:51You can also set it up three times a day. You can say, think of three things you're grateful for.
- 20:56I like writing it down. I like thinking about stuff, like when you're walking
- 20:59around the block, but I also like writing down my main gratitude things because
- 21:03I do like to see how I've grown within a year. I do like to see how I've expanded.
- 21:07Because, again, remember, gratitude leads to joy, happiness,
- 21:10peace, and then to expansion.
- 21:13Expansion in your heart. Expansion in your mind. Expansion in your pocketbook.
- 21:17Expansion with your health. It's amazing what gratitude can do. Now, I injured my knee.
- 21:23A couple months ago. And I went to an energy healer and she said, you know what?
- 21:28I think your knee heals so much faster and your body heals so much faster than
- 21:32others because I'm always focused on gratitude.
- 21:35I'm grateful for my knee because it's still there and it still works.
- 21:38I tore the crap out of it and it hurt, but I was grateful I could still walk.
- 21:43It hurt, but I was still grateful because there's people out there that can't.
- 21:47And there's people out there that don't have two legs. So be grateful for what you have.
- 21:51The people that don't have legs might be grateful they still have their arms.
- 21:54There are people out there that don't have any arms and legs,
- 21:56and I've seen them on speeches, and they're the happiest people because they
- 22:00are grateful for what they have.
- 22:02They found joy and peace in who they are. They're alive.
- 22:06Until you're six feet under, you have a requirement as a human being to feel
- 22:12joy, happiness, and peace.
- 22:13If you don't, you can spin out into depression very easily.
- 22:17You can be sad. That can happen.
- 22:19I don't want that to happen for you, though. You need to start reframing your problems into lessons.
- 22:25It's funny that I know you know that I've had some liver issues,
- 22:28and I say them issues, and I look at them as lessons and growth opportunities.
- 22:33Everything in my life is either a lesson or a growth opportunity.
- 22:37There's no good, there's no bad. When you start saying, I am grateful for these
- 22:41lessons that I am learning, and learn them well.
- 22:44I know I've talked to people that say, why does the same stuff keep happening
- 22:48to me? I say, because you haven't learned your lesson.
- 22:51What that means is you keep repeating the same stuff in life so the same stuff keeps happening to you.
- 22:58Once you learn your lesson, truly learn it.
- 23:01It won't happen anymore. We think that we're completely out of control in life,
- 23:05but we're not. We control a lot more than we think.
- 23:08And you do this through gratitude and by reframing your problems as lessons.
- 23:13And then you can be grateful for those lessons. You can be grateful for the
- 23:17stuff that happens to you.
- 23:19Because gratitude, you still need during discomfort.
- 23:22You still need it when you're getting hurt, when you're suffering.
- 23:26When you're going through pain.
- 23:28I mean, I was in pain and I was still cracking jokes with the x-ray technician.
- 23:33I am just grateful that I am still here because there's a lot of people that aren't, guys.
- 23:39There's a lot of people that aren't. Be grateful that you're still here.
- 23:41I will be grateful until the day I die because I'm still here.
- 23:45My natural state is peace. My natural state is joy, happiness,
- 23:49gratitude. That's how I am naturally.
- 23:52And whenever I go through stuff and I have fallen down, I've fallen down where
- 23:56it takes me a day, two, three days to just get my mind back to happiness.
- 24:02It may only be five minutes of happiness, but every day it will grow.
- 24:05I get it. I'm with you. I understand your pain.
- 24:10Because everybody goes through it. You never know the person that's honking
- 24:13at you or mad on the side of the road what their day is like. I get it.
- 24:17And you've got to feel for them. But don't let it shift who you are.
- 24:21Don't let life's lessons diminish you.
- 24:25Don't let it change your core values. That matters.
- 24:28It matters so much. And gratitude should be a core value of who you are as a human being.
- 24:34When you attract people into your life, that's who you should attract.
- 24:38You want to attract people that are growth-minded, that are happy,
- 24:41that are joyful in what they do have, that don't have limiting beliefs,
- 24:45that aren't attacking you, that aren't mean.
- 24:47Those are the ones you want because that will help elevate you.
- 24:50So let's discuss a little bit about emotional frequencies because gratitude
- 24:56will elevate you to a new emotional frequency, but you need to know it's kind of a ladder.
- 25:01It's kind of a stepping stone. There's different frequencies.
- 25:04I want to talk a little bit about them. We're going to talk about the negative.
- 25:08I don't like to dwell on the negative too much, so I'm going to go over it quickly,
- 25:11but one of the lowest frequency levels out there is shame.
- 25:14If you do something wrong to someone else and you hurt someone or you don't like your body,
- 25:20or something you did was wrong, shame is a really bad frequency to be in.
- 25:24And people get stuck here.
- 25:26They're ashamed of what they said. They're ashamed of what they did.
- 25:29They're ashamed of how they treated someone.
- 25:31Then guilt tends to come next. They get guilty. They feel guilty about what they did.
- 25:36Guilt is a terrible frequency as well. It's not going to elevate you.
- 25:40So shame and guilt, stop doing bad things, and you won't have as much shame and guilt.
- 25:44You do that by being grateful for what you have, elevating your ethics,
- 25:48your values, your morals, and moving to the next level. But people are fearful.
- 25:53They're fearful of change. They have fear of not finding the right person.
- 25:57They have fear of not making enough money.
- 26:00They have fear. But fear, as I'm sure you've heard before, is false evidence
- 26:05appearing real. And it really is true.
- 26:07Everybody has fear, don't get me wrong. People naturally have fear when they
- 26:11start something new. But I actually have leaned into fear.
- 26:15When I start something new, I'm like,
- 26:17ooh, it's a little bit scary, so I'm going to go do it. I lean into it because
- 26:21that means I get to learn something new.
- 26:23I'm all about growth and learning something new. So when I get a little bit
- 26:27of fear, I'm like, bring it on.
- 26:29Because I'm going to go do it. If I'm afraid of something, now granted,
- 26:32I'm not going to do something that's fearful and bad for me.
- 26:35That doesn't make sense. Those are just adrenaline junkies.
- 26:38But if something worries me or scares me a little bit about business, I'm a little fearful.
- 26:42I don't know how to do that new AI tool, or I don't know how to do that new
- 26:47software program, or I don't know how to do this new workout,
- 26:50or maybe you've never done yoga before, so you're a little fearful of going to do yoga. Go do it.
- 26:55It's not going to hurt you. Fear holds you back.
- 26:59Shame, guilt, fear, they all hold you back. So you're not growing because you're
- 27:03letting the negative low frequency levels hold you back.
- 27:07If you don't have fear, a lot of people get anxiety.
- 27:10They get anxiety from the fear. Anxiety is also an emotional state that keeps you down.
- 27:14One of the ways to get rid of anxiety is exercise. I will say if you're getting
- 27:17a lot of anxiety, go for a run.
- 27:20Or go for a climb or a hike. Get into nature. Anxiety gets calmed when you get
- 27:24into nature really well.
- 27:26So go for a nice little walk through a park or something. Just get,
- 27:29that helps with anxiety.
- 27:31Helps with fear. It could be financial anxiety. It can be relationship anxiety.
- 27:35Whatever it is, get outside and do it. It will help.
- 27:38And then there's anger. Now, anger tends to come when people don't hit our standards
- 27:44or meet our expectations.
- 27:45Sometimes we get angry at ourselves for not meeting our own expectations,
- 27:50for not getting to the level we wanted to as soon as we wanted to.
- 27:53Sometimes we get angry because somebody else hurts us.
- 27:56And anger is something that everybody goes through. Heck, it's a part of grieving.
- 28:00That everybody touches on now. Some people stay in angry and they're just angry people.
- 28:04But again, exercise helps with that. If you have anger issues, go work out.
- 28:09That will help. Anger is a negative emotion, but you may go through it.
- 28:14All of these negative emotions you may go through, you just don't want it to be your resting state.
- 28:19Your natural resting state, if your natural resting state is in a low level
- 28:23frequency, you're not going to reach your fullest potential and you're never
- 28:28going to really be happy. That's the one thing that people don't learn.
- 28:31You should be learning it from a young age.
- 28:34You should be learning it when you're 8, 9, 10 years old. If you haven't learned
- 28:38it, learn it right now on this podcast.
- 28:41The next state that a lot of people hang out in is sadness. They're sad because
- 28:45they didn't achieve something.
- 28:47They're sad because their spouse cheated or left them.
- 28:50They're sad because they look back on their life and they're living in their
- 28:54glory days of high school and they haven't achieved anything lately,
- 28:57but they remember when it was good for them.
- 28:59Or they're sad because they don't feel like anybody cares for them. Here's the truth.
- 29:05The best way to get cared for is to care for yourself.
- 29:08You're never dependent on anyone else then. You will draw people to you once
- 29:12you truly love yourself that love you as much as you love yourself.
- 29:16Honestly, I can honestly say that I don't know if anybody will ever truly love
- 29:20you as much as you love yourself.
- 29:21Because you're with yourself all the time. Some people don't love themselves.
- 29:25Some people are sad because they hate themselves.
- 29:28But it's a negative frequency. That's your natural emotional state.
- 29:32Sadness or self-hate. It's not a good place to be. You're never going to get
- 29:36to gratefulness. You're never going to get to happiness.
- 29:39You'll stay there. And when you're sad, it kind of leads to apathy.
- 29:42You get apathetic about work. You get apathetic about life. You get apathetic
- 29:47about working out. You get apathetic about your kids.
- 29:50When you're sad all the time and depressed, you just, you're apathetic about
- 29:54life. It's not just a state of being.
- 29:56Sometimes people drink themselves because they're sad.
- 29:59They drink too much. They abuse substances. They look at pornography because
- 30:04they are sad and they don't feel loved.
- 30:07And the addictions, most of the addictions, I think, come from sadness and apathy.
- 30:12And sadness will lead to addictions. and then the apathy will destroy you as a person.
- 30:17It will make you so you're not successful in life. And yes, medications can
- 30:21do this too. There's a lot of pharmaceuticals out there, guys, that can...
- 30:24Put you in a state of depression. So remember that. So you look at your life
- 30:28as a whole, but apathy, do what you can to control what you can. All right.
- 30:32And then frustration. Now, if you've got any of these shame,
- 30:36guilt, fear, anxiety, sadness, anger, apathy, you're going to be frustrated.
- 30:40Okay. You're going to be frustrated because you're not achieving and your frustration
- 30:44can lead to anger and your frustration can lead to apathy and your frustration
- 30:48can lead to sadness and fear.
- 30:50Your frustration relates to all the other lowest emotional states.
- 30:54I'm here to tell you that frustration can ruin you as a person.
- 30:58Now we're going to step into our first neutral state.
- 31:03When you go from a lowest state where your natural emotional state is one of
- 31:06the above that I just described, acceptance is kind of the first thing you have
- 31:10to do. You have to accept yourself.
- 31:12You have to accept your life. You don't have to be satisfied with it,
- 31:15but you need to accept where you're at. You need to do it in a calm manner.
- 31:18So acceptance and calmness, they're neutral states because what happens when
- 31:22you accept where you're at and you're calm and you transition out of the negative,
- 31:27you create a level of hope.
- 31:29That hope will lead to gratitude and joy. So when you accept yourself and your
- 31:34life where it's at, you'll start heading in the right direction. So take stock.
- 31:40I mean, this is the end of the year and the holidays and I know a lot's going
- 31:43on, but take stock of who you are and where you're at. Accept it. There's no emotion.
- 31:48Just accept it. From a scientific standpoint, just accept it.
- 31:51Be who you are and dwell in that. You might want to take a whole day and just
- 31:54accept it. Do the gratitude walk, though, too. I do love the gratitude walk.
- 31:57And accept yourself. Then you'll go into a level of calmness and peace.
- 32:01But out of that comes hope and gratefulness for what you do have and what you can accept.
- 32:07And then that gratefulness will grow. So when we have hope, we have a vision of the future.
- 32:12We have a hopefulness of who we are who we're becoming.
- 32:15And hope can change lives. Hope will change everything in your life if you follow it.
- 32:22It opens you up for gratitude. And as soon as you start your gratitude exercises, your joy will expand.
- 32:27Your happiness will expand. Just start waking up in the morning with joy and
- 32:31happiness. And the next level after gratitude is joy.
- 32:34Joyfulness is a great state of being.
- 32:37When you have joy, you're going to start to love yourself, which is the next level.
- 32:41When you love yourself and love your children and love your job and love your
- 32:47spouse or your partner and love your dogs and your cats and your house,
- 32:53you'll find that everything starts to grow around you and you're at peace.
- 32:59I know I talk a lot about this, but my level of peace is so precious to me.
- 33:04I don't want anybody to disturb it. When people are on the negative level of
- 33:09emotion, if you're dating someone who's always fearful or always has anxiety,
- 33:14they will take you from your peace down into possibly frustration or anger or sadness.
- 33:21So garner your peace and protect it. Your peace is so important.
- 33:27That's why people say, I don't want you to disturb my peace,
- 33:29because when people disturb your peace, what they're truly doing is they're
- 33:32pulling you back down into a low frequency vibration, which will mess up your flow.
- 33:38And there is something to say about flow. When you're in flow,
- 33:41it feels like everything good is coming your way.
- 33:44And the only way to get into flow is to have lots of gratitude because then
- 33:48you get to love and joy, happiness and peace and peace. Things start to flow.
- 33:53They start to flow and you are like, wow.
- 33:55Then you'll see people that try to disturb your peace. I honestly,
- 33:59sometimes I think it's like the devil throwing stuff at you.
- 34:01They'll introduce people into your life that really want to disturb your peace. You will.
- 34:07Tell them, thank you. I am learning a lesson.
- 34:10Now, you don't tell them personally. You're going to think in your mind,
- 34:12you're going to like, thank you for the lesson. I see how you are.
- 34:15I see that you're angry a lot. I see that you're always miserable,
- 34:19that you're very sad, but I'm not bringing you into my world.
- 34:22I'm not associating with you.
- 34:24I'm not going to pull you into my life because I'm happy with my peace. I'm joyful with who I am.
- 34:29If you want to sit over there and complain all day long, that's fine.
- 34:32You can do that, just not with me because I'm in my peace bubble. It really is a bubble.
- 34:37And you get to choose who you pull into your peace bubble. Because after you
- 34:41have peace, you elevate yourself into bliss.
- 34:44Bliss is a level that, I will tell you, when you get there, time stops.
- 34:48Things become magical. It's almost like you're in a fairy tale.
- 34:52Bliss is a wonderful place to be now. You can be that in a new relationship.
- 34:55Sometimes that happens.
- 34:56Then sometimes you're in a new relationship and you fall from bliss back into frustration.
- 35:00It's a shifting thing. It can happen. And but bliss only get you get knocked
- 35:05out of bliss when you allow people into your life that aren't elevated,
- 35:09that aren't at your frequency level.
- 35:12But you can be in bliss for a really long time.
- 35:15It annoys some people, I will say, because when you're in bliss and you're happy,
- 35:18a lot of people don't like to see that.
- 35:20They want to pull you back down to their frustration level or their apathy or their anxiety.
- 35:24Anger this is when you get into bliss and you're really flowing
- 35:27and you're doing really well in a company or you're really doing really well
- 35:30in a relationship then you have that friend that tries
- 35:34to throw a monkey wrench into the whole operation saying oh
- 35:37don't do that you could lose your job or oh don't do that you could lose money
- 35:42or oh don't do that that person's not good for you even though you think they
- 35:46are and they've shown no reason not to be they try to knock you out of their
- 35:50bliss why because they're not happy
- 35:51they're not even at acceptance level they're in a very low frequency.
- 35:55Those are the people that are jealous. Jealousy is not a high frequency.
- 35:59Jealousy is a low frequency vibration.
- 36:01So just be careful. When you're in bliss, it seems like more and more people,
- 36:05just like when you're in peace, want to pull you back into their level and you
- 36:09can't allow it. It can be with a partner.
- 36:11I hope that you married somebody that brings you peace or if you have a boyfriend
- 36:15or a girlfriend, they bring you peace and they put you in bliss.
- 36:18But you have to be there by yourself first and then they should add to it.
- 36:22They shouldn't take away.
- 36:23They should add to it. They can't get you there on your own,
- 36:26though. You have to work on getting there yourself.
- 36:29Then the highest frequency you can get is to enlightenment.
- 36:32When you get to enlightenment, things will just magically manifest.
- 36:36When you're enlightened, things will happen. Now, enlightenment is hard to hold.
- 36:39I will say I've gone in and out of it a few times, but you'll manifest money.
- 36:43You'll manifest the right partner.
- 36:45You'll manifest love. You'll manifest everything you want.
- 36:48Maybe you need to meet someone in order to advance your job.
- 36:51Things will just start manifesting for you when you're enlightened.
- 36:54It is a whole shifting attitude in your life. You can jump around in this level
- 37:00of different frequencies.
- 37:02Now, typically you don't go from shame to peace or enlightenment.
- 37:06You kind of need to work your way through some of these things.
- 37:09Now, you can go from shame to peace.
- 37:11To acceptance. That's perfectly normal. You can do that. But it tends to be
- 37:15that you have to move up slowly.
- 37:17You can go from fear with gratitude to power to joy.
- 37:21Gratitude is bridging frequencies. It helps you move up this ladder faster.
- 37:27So if you do the gratitude walk, the nature of gratitude walk,
- 37:30where you're walking around the block, or you do the gratitude in the journaling.
- 37:34Now, my children and I, we do this every night. We do three things
- 37:37we're grateful for every single night as we pray and say
- 37:40we say three things that went well today so that's gratitude then
- 37:44we do three things we're grateful for that's more gratitude then
- 37:47we do three things that we're hoping for for the future that's hope
- 37:50those are all high frequency vibrations i've trained them at such a young age
- 37:54that they are doing that every day what if you did that what if you wrote down
- 37:58three things that you were went well today three things you're grateful for
- 38:01and then three things you hope for for the future every day and pray to whatever
- 38:05god you believe in can you imagine how shifting that is for your mindset?
- 38:09How you could change and control a lot more in your life if you changed that
- 38:13one mindset? It shifts you from fear to power of your life.
- 38:17It shifts you from anger to acceptance of where you are
- 38:19are. You move from having loss in your life to having meaning.
- 38:23When we move in the right direction, our lives change. If anything,
- 38:27I'm hoping that I can empower you.
- 38:30Empowerment is so important because you have more control than you believe.
- 38:35Gratitude will transform your relationships. When you're grateful for your spouse
- 38:39and what you do ahead, they may not be the perfect person, but you marry them,
- 38:42so you're stuck with them, at least for now.
- 38:44You're grateful for the things they do, the little things. You'll crawl more
- 38:47little things and then big things into your life. You might find that your partner's more loving.
- 38:52Your children are more loving when you're grateful for them.
- 38:55Show appreciation. I don't think people in this world show enough appreciation.
- 38:58When somebody holds the door open for you, thank them.
- 39:01Ladies, thank them. Because they didn't have to. Don't assume and don't act
- 39:05entitled that people were going to do that for you. When they do, be grateful.
- 39:09If somebody slams it in your face, that's okay.
- 39:12That's just a lesson that you probably don't want to get to know that person.
- 39:15So there you go. You got your lesson. Be grateful for what you do have,
- 39:19and you will find people are more loving back.
- 39:22Your friends. Your friends, you should find friends that are filled with gratitude.
- 39:26And if not, be grateful for the friends you have while you're shifting to new
- 39:30friends that will have more gratitude.
- 39:32I am no stranger to telling you that if you have the wrong people in your life,
- 39:36whether it's a partner, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a spouse,
- 39:40whatever it is. Now, children, you're not going to be.
- 39:43Get rid of, but our friends, even family members, quite frankly,
- 39:46if they're not your spouse, I mean, sometimes it's okay to cut people out of
- 39:49your life because their lack of peace will pull you down.
- 39:53They will suck you down into their abysmal dungeon or negative mindset so quickly
- 39:59that you will, you'll fall.
- 40:02And people do impact other people. We do.
- 40:04There's great impacts. Now, it would be great if I could tell you once you get
- 40:09to peace, nobody can knock you out. Nope, you still got to hold it.
- 40:12You got to hold that level. You've got to be strong enough to remain in your
- 40:16peace because other people are going to impact you. They do have influence.
- 40:20That's why from a young age, we learned to not just be joyous.
- 40:23We learned to be fearful.
- 40:25We learned to have some of the negative fears. Other people will impact you, so don't allow them to.
- 40:30And the best way to not allow them to is to not associate with them, quite frankly.
- 40:34So if you have a lot of negative people in your life,
- 40:37and you're negative, there you go. Try to start elevating yourself.
- 40:41Elevate your mindset. Elevate your politics. There's a lot of negativeness around politics.
- 40:45Maybe it's time to step back from some of the negativity because it's toxic.
- 40:50It's not just toxic for your mind. It's toxic for your body.
- 40:53Toxicity is not good. You will find out over time that the more toxic you are
- 40:57and that the more toxic people are around you, the more unhappy you're going to be.
- 41:02Begin to be grateful, even with the difficult people. take
- 41:05them as a lesson and then walk away you're going
- 41:08to run into them they're there and people say well if you
- 41:10were super grateful and you were elevated you're never going to
- 41:13run into negative people now that's not true there's always a chance there's
- 41:16always a risk now you're going to definitely run into more positive people and
- 41:19you're but the negative people you're just going to learn lessons from them
- 41:23that's what they're there for they're to teach us lessons and then let them
- 41:26go even when you find if they're not the right one or a partner let them go
- 41:30gratitude turns resentment into wisdom. It's true.
- 41:33So once you're grateful, if you see someone that's negative for causing problems,
- 41:38you'll become wise to them and learn that lesson and then never have to learn it again. Hopefully.
- 41:44Hopefully you learn it well enough. But letting people go that just are not
- 41:47good for you is the best way to move up the ladder quickly as well,
- 41:50I will say, because others will influence you greatly.
- 41:53It may be you just need to be alone for a while.
- 41:57And learn to love yourself. Learn to find your own inner peace.
- 42:00Learn to find your own joy and happiness. Because if you can't get into gratitude
- 42:05yourself, and you're constantly being influenced by other people around you,
- 42:09you need to take a step back and go huddle in your own house,
- 42:14or go become a recluse for a little bit.
- 42:16Go hibernate by yourself. I tend to do this a lot when I'm learning something
- 42:22new, or I'm growing into a new business adventure.
- 42:24I cut a lot of people out. Now, if you're one of my friends,
- 42:27you may know this, that I might disappear here and there.
- 42:30I tend to do this because I'm trying to grow into a new area.
- 42:34When I do that, sometimes I need to cut out any negative influences.
- 42:39Not that my friends are negative, but I don't want to hear any naysayers.
- 42:43I don't want to hear anything negative because a lot of people,
- 42:45even though they have good intentions, when you're doing something new that
- 42:49shocks them, they will tend to say something negative.
- 42:52Even if they're a positive person, they may say negative things and I don't
- 42:54want to hear it. So when I'm like pushing through to the next level,
- 42:57a lot of times I will go inward and disappear.
- 43:00And it's OK to do that. If that helps you grow, because I find that I have better
- 43:05growth potential sometimes on my own than with the support of others because
- 43:08other people sometimes will hold you back.
- 43:11So realize that may need to happen too in order for you to elevate to the next level.
- 43:15You may find that all your friends are negative and you have to kind of find
- 43:19an entirely new friend group. But there's a lot of happy people out there, guys.
- 43:23You just may not know them yet. And I mean yet.
- 43:26But if you look for them, you can find them. There's happy people at all socioeconomic
- 43:30levels too. And there's miserable people at all socioeconomic levels.
- 43:34You could be rich and miserable or poor and miserable. Both ways, you're miserable.
- 43:38And either way, you're not finding your joy and your bliss. You could be dirt
- 43:42poor and happy as heck. You could be a quadriplegic and happy.
- 43:46You could be a person that has no money and has never had money living on the
- 43:50streets and still be joyful. It's a choice. It's a mental choice.
- 43:54The goal is to elevate yourself so that you're joyful, you have money,
- 43:57you're living the comfortable lifestyle, and you get to where you want to be faster.
- 44:02I'm not saying being rich gives you joy.
- 44:05It helps. Making money helps you grow.
- 44:07And to do things that you want to do so you can have more opportunities.
- 44:11But if you're not joyful along the way, it's not like if you make a million
- 44:15dollars at that destination, you're going to be joyful.
- 44:18You'll just, you'll be as miserable as you are now. You need to learn to enjoy
- 44:22the journey because the gratitude along the journey helps you grow too.
- 44:26We need to slow down and stop rushing things. Feel the feelings, feel the joy.
- 44:30Think about all the new things you've learned. When you were born, you couldn't even walk.
- 44:34When you were born, you didn't know what a hot stove was. When you were born,
- 44:38you didn't know how to drive.
- 44:39When you were born, you didn't have basic common sense.
- 44:42Now you work a job that may have technical skills or analytical skills or.
- 44:48I mean, heck, even using your phone as a growth tool.
- 44:51So think of all the things you grow. Be grateful for that.
- 44:54Love yourself for all that you are and all that you've accomplished and all
- 44:58that you're becoming. Again, gratitude will turn any negative emotions into
- 45:02positive wisdom and positive thoughtfulness of who you are.
- 45:07Here's the other thing that I learned through my healing of divorce is letting
- 45:11people go that hurt you is good, but loving those who hurt you and letting them
- 45:16go and wishing them the best, it's not because they deserve it,
- 45:19but it's because you deserve to have that peace.
- 45:22I know there's a lot of people that have been hurt by other people,
- 45:25But I will tell you, when you let other people go and you wish them on their
- 45:29way and you wish them the best, or you wish them to leave and find their way,
- 45:34or hopefully maybe they find God if they're doing things that are wrong or whatnot,
- 45:39you create your own peace.
- 45:41It is this step that you have to go through. It hurts a little in the beginning.
- 45:45I will say it's painful, but when you truly find your peace,
- 45:50you get rid of the misery, you get rid of the.
- 45:53Blame game, you get rid of the resentment, you get rid of the pettiness,
- 45:57and you let them go, and you let them find their peace, you're going to find your own joy from it too.
- 46:02And you're going to attract people into your life that make sense for you.
- 46:06I've forgiven a lot of people in gratitude. I have been grateful for lessons
- 46:10I've learned from them. Some of them were painful lessons, don't get me wrong.
- 46:13If you had parents that were abusive, if you've had, if you've gone through
- 46:17terrible situations, you're still here.
- 46:20Be grateful for what you now have, because it did make you stronger.
- 46:23It was a terrible lesson to learn, but now that you've learned it,
- 46:26you can grow from it. You might be able to help transfer someone else's life from that lesson.
- 46:31Because sometimes the most painful lessons that we have, when we have gratitude
- 46:35around them and we really learn a lesson, we can help others grow from our pain.
- 46:40That pain will help you grow into an individual that is phenomenal.
- 46:43Just use the pain and don't change who you are because of the lesson you learned.
- 46:48Just grow stronger because of it. The Thanksgiving holiday is one,
- 46:53and Christmas, and I tend to, whenever I have family around and we sit down
- 46:57for dinner, like to go around the table and say what we're thankful for,
- 47:01whether it's Christmas.
- 47:03Hanukkah, whatever religion you celebrate, Thanksgiving.
- 47:06But having a holiday tradition around gratitude is an amazing thing.
- 47:11You can even do it in a friend circle when you go out for dinner with the girls.
- 47:14It's kind of fun to do once in a while. But it will shift the energy.
- 47:17And it'll also give you a bigger connection with the people around you.
- 47:20So it may be that you only see these family members once a year,
- 47:23but then you go around the table and say the things you're grateful for.
- 47:26They might say, I'm grateful that I got first place in state at some competition.
- 47:31You didn't know they were even competing.
- 47:33It gives you more of a connection. It gives you an intention to care and be
- 47:36empathetic for other people.
- 47:38Saying out what you're grateful for, not just the food. I know everybody says,
- 47:41thanks for the food that you're providing.
- 47:43Great. Great for that. Now, don't get me wrong.
- 47:46Don't forget to thank the cook because she might be a little upset if you don't.
- 47:49But you should be grateful for things in life.
- 47:52Saying it out loud, I don't know, it just brings family closer together.
- 47:55Family, friends, whomever. I like to say first what you're most grateful for this year.
- 48:00And everybody listen. Everybody be focused. Nobody's on their phone. Nobody's on their iPad.
- 48:04You're listening. And this teaches empathy as well, guys, to children.
- 48:08So it's something that I think every family should do.
- 48:11But tell everybody what you're most grateful for for this year.
- 48:14Try to keep it non-political, I will say. You might upset other people.
- 48:17But what you're truly grateful for.
- 48:20And then what you're calling into existence for next year. Say,
- 48:23I'm so grateful that I found a beautiful two-bedroom house to rent.
- 48:28Next year, I plan on buying a home and I'm going to be even more grateful.
- 48:31And I'm just grateful for what I have and grateful for how I'm growing.
- 48:35That's a great way to go. Or maybe you're grateful that you met your partner
- 48:38and next year you're hoping to start a family.
- 48:40Just say what you're grateful for and then say what you're wanting for next
- 48:44year. It's kind of like the same practice that I do with my kids every night.
- 48:48But doing it at Thanksgiving helps shift the whole culture of your family.
- 48:52And it'll shift the environment from probably a negative Thanksgiving or a negative
- 48:57Christmas or holiday dinner to something positive.
- 49:00And you will connect with your family in ways you never have.
- 49:04This will change your family's trajectory.
- 49:06Even if you just do it a few times a year, maybe just start doing it every time
- 49:10you have a family dinner.
- 49:11When would that be something? Get the kids off the iPhones, get the kids off
- 49:15the iPads. And every time you sit down for dinner, say what you're grateful for from today.
- 49:19Say what you're grateful for in life. Whatever works for you, but be consistent.
- 49:23And emphasize, you know, you really need to think about your gratitude as a group.
- 49:29Sometimes you can have your whole family. We're grateful as a group to do this.
- 49:33We're grateful at a group because of our friends, because of the connections
- 49:38we've made. I also like to send gratitude texts to my children.
- 49:42I tell them how much I love them. Heck, I tell my children I love them every day.
- 49:46I give them phone calls. I text them. And be grateful for the people in your
- 49:50life. Because here's the thing. We're only here for a few number years.
- 49:53You might be here for 100 years. You might be here for 150 years.
- 49:56You might be here for 12 or even a day.
- 50:00But however many days you're here, you should be grateful. Every day matters.
- 50:04Every day truly does matter. As you spread this gratefulness and this gratitude,
- 50:08what you're going to find is other people pick up on it.
- 50:10You're going to inspire other people, people in your family,
- 50:13your friends. And it's almost like you create a wave of light that just spreads.
- 50:19Throughout mankind and it will start
- 50:22attracting more kindness into you more words
- 50:26of kindness more love more forgivingness of you because i'm sure you've done
- 50:29some things and not everybody's so happy about more people will reach out more
- 50:33people will be loving and i'm loving to a lot of people i'm loving to ex-friends
- 50:39ex-boyfriends i still love them even if they put me off or they've set me in
- 50:44a way that just didn't work.
- 50:45I still love them and I wish them the best.
- 50:48It's just maybe they're not in my path. So even if I let a friend go,
- 50:52that's okay. Maybe they'll find their way back to me one day.
- 50:55It's just right now we're done a match and we don't align because I'm more about
- 50:58gratitude and joy and happiness and they're more about dwelling in their misery.
- 51:02Now, if somebody's hurting, I'm not saying don't support them.
- 51:06But if their resting state is misery and they're always miserable,
- 51:09no matter what happens, and they find the worst in everything,
- 51:13it might be time to let them go.
- 51:14If you release resentment towards other people, you let people go,
- 51:18it will be a gift to yourself.
- 51:20And I want you to give yourself lots of gifts from now on.
- 51:23I want you to take care of you first. It's kind of like they say you have to
- 51:27put your mask on on a plane first before you can help others.
- 51:30You got to find you and make sure you're strong before you sit there and help other people.
- 51:34Because if you don't, what you'll find is that other people can drag you back
- 51:38down quickly and you'll get stuck just there with them.
- 51:41So choose your piece is important. Help others as you can. Be a role model to others.
- 51:46There's nothing more than a positive role model because when people see that
- 51:50you're grateful, that you go around the table at Thanksgiving and holiday dinners
- 51:54and you're grateful for what you have, other people will say,
- 51:57wow, maybe I should be grateful too.
- 51:59You'll attract more of that in. People tell me, you know, I'm looking to level
- 52:03up or I want to go to the next level and I'm trying to level up because I want
- 52:08to, you know, go up to the next level, elevate to the next ceiling so then you
- 52:11can step up to the next level. I don't believe there's a ceiling.
- 52:14I elevate because there is no ceiling. I elevate because the future is unlimited.
- 52:21And if you choose gratitude, if you choose healing, if you choose love,
- 52:26you will elevate yourself to the next level without even trying.
- 52:30Because it can be a level, but the level doesn't have a ceiling.
- 52:34You might even skip a few levels in the happiness journey, into the enlightenment
- 52:38journey. Because there is no ceiling in life.
- 52:42The only ceiling is what we put in our minds by holding ourselves back with fear and anxiety,
- 52:48jealousy envy hatred those are
- 52:51negative feelings that holds us back but when
- 52:53you choose love and when you choose joy forgiveness and
- 52:58gratitude you will find that you're elevating yourself and
- 53:00there is no limit there's no limit to your love it's not
- 53:03like you're gonna run out it's endless your love
- 53:06is endless and your journey has just begun and i
- 53:10wish for everyone a life of joy
- 53:12happiness gratitude peace and enlightenment
