Believe in Yourself: Start Your Day Right with Louise Hay’s Affirmations · Motivation Mindset Podcast

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is just motivation. We are all currently on a journey,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and I believe that the more conscious we are about it,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and the more choices we make consciously, the better our
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: journey is, or the easier or the quicker it is,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that we get more rewards, or that we have better health.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: You are not limited to just your physical form. You
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: are pure consciousness. You are a divine, magnificent expression of life.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You are interconnected with every aspect of life, and despite this,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you are not subject to the influence of any other person, location,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: or topic because you are the only thinker that exists
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: within your head. You are the one who has the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: power to create, and you are the one who has
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the final say in your life. We are put on
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this planet with total freedom, and we make these choices
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: in our minds. No person, place, or thing can think
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: for us if.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: We do not allow it. We are the only person
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: who thinks in our minds. In our minds, we have
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: total freedom. What we choose to think and believe can
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: change our current circumstances. Beyond recognition, I am free to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: think wonderful thoughts. I move beyond past limitations into freedom.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I am now becoming all that I am created to be.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I release all fears and doubts. Fears and doubts are
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: only delay mechanisms that keep us from having the good
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: we say we want in our lives. So let them go.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I now choose to free myself from all destructive fears
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and doubts. I accept myself and create peace in my
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: mind and heart. I am loved and I am safe.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Divine wisdom guides me.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Too.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Many of us are unaware that we have within us
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and inner wisdom that is always on our side. We
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: don't pay attention to our intuition, and then we wonder
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: why life does not work well. Learn to listen to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: your inner voice. You do know exactly what to do.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I am guided throughout this day in making right choices.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Divine intelligence continuously guides me in the realization of my goals,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and I am safe. I love life. Every morning when
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I wake up, I get to experience another great day,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a day I've never lived before. It will have its
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: own special experiences, and I am glad to be alive.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It is my birthright to live fully and freely. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: give to life exactly what I want life to give
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to me. I am glad to be alive.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I love life.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I love my body. I'm so delighted to live in
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: my wonderful body. It has been given to me to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: use for the rest of my life, and I cherish
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it and take loving care of it. My body is
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: precious to me. I love every inch of it inside
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and out, that which I see and that which I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: don't see, every organ and gland, every muscle and bone,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: every single cell. My body responds to this loving attention
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: by giving me vibrant health and a liveness. I create
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: peacefulness in my mind, and my body reflects this peacefulness
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: as perfect health. I turn every experience into an opportunity.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: When I experience a problem, and we all have them,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I immediately say, out of this situation only good will come.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: This is easily resolved for the highest good of all concerned.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: All is well, and I am safe. I repeat this
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: statement over and over. It keeps me calm and allows
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the universe to find the best solution. I am often
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: amazed to see how quickly the issue can be resolved
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: in a way that benefits everyone. Each problem has a solution.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: All experiences are opportunities for me to learn and grow,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and I am safe. I am at peace, deep at
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the center of my being, there is an infinite well
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of peace, like a mountain lake, deep and serene. No person, place,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: or outer chaos can touch me when I am in
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: this space. In this space, I am calm, I think clearly,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I receive divine ideas, and I am so peaceful. Peace
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and harmony surround me and dwell in me. I feel tolerance,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: compassion and love for all people, myself included.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: So when we say human potential, unleashing human potential, it
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: is not about reaching the peak. It is a trajectory
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: because what our life is a combination of certain amount
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: of time and energy. Time is rolling away for all
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of us at the same pace. If you sit, it
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: rolls away. If you sleep, it rolls away. If you
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: do something, it goes away. If you don't do anything,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: it goes away. You're happy or miserable, it goes away.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Time is running out for all of us. So it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: only the energy that you can do different things with.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: If you bring your energies to a certain level of
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: intensity and possibility, what somebody does in ten years, you
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: may do it in one year. This means if you
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: live here for one hundred years, it feels like in
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: people's impact that you have created. It feels like you
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: lived here for one thousand years simply because you have
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: managed your life energies in a certain way. So for
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: me a human being, being impactful means how conscious have
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: you become. This is very important because if you're in
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: compulsive cycles, then your energy gets wasted in so many things.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: If you absorb people in a day, let's take twenty
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: four hours in that anyway, most people, by prescription in America,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: they sleep for eight hours, So eight hours means one
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: third of life is gone. In the remaining two thirds
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: they have to eat, they have to you know, shower, bathroom,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: or this or that. All this another two three hours gone.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: So literally fifty percent of life is gone daily basis
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: just for basic maintenance of this life. Fifty percent of
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: the time is gone in maintenance, remaining fifty percent what
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: they have. If you look at every single move that
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: they may make with their body, their thought, process, their emotion,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: you will see a whole lot of it is happening
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: in compulsive cycle. Or in other words, if you are
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: a little sensitive to life, you will realize you are
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the biggest issue. So this is one thing that I'm
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: trying to do with people that you are never the
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: issue in your life. I am not the issue my thought,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: my emotion. My body is never the issue. My thought,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: my emotion, my energy, and my body are my instruments
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of function. They are not impediments in my life. But
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I would say for ninety of the human beings their
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: own body, then the compulsions of the body, the compulsions
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: of their thought, the compulsions of their emotions are ruling
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: them most of the time.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Attack the dawn. It was early, always early, when Tony
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Morrison awoke to write. In the dark, she would move quietly,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: making that first cup of coffee. She'd sit at her
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: desk in her small apartment, and as her mind cleared
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and the sun rose and the light filled the room,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: she would write. She did this for years, practicing this
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: secular ritual, used not just by right but by countless
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: busy and driven people for all time. Writers all devise
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: ways to approach that place where they expect to make
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the contact, she'd later reflect, where they become the conduit,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: or where they engage in this mysterious process. For me,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: light is the signal in the transition. It's not being
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: in the light, its being there before it arrives. It
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: enables me in some sense. But of course it was
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: as practical as it was spiritual, because at the beginning
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: of her career, Morrison was also a single, working mother
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of two young boys. Her job as an editor for
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Random House occupied her days, her children every other minute,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and by the late evening she was burned out, too
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: tired to think. It was the precious early morning hours,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: between the parting dark and the rising dawn, before her
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: boys uttered the word mama, before the pile of manuscripts
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: from work to mended, her attention, before the commute, before
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the palm calls, before the bills beckoned, before the dishes
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: needed to be done. It was then that she could
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: be a writer. Early she was free. Early, she was
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: confident and clear headed and full of energy. Early, the
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: obligations of life existed only in theory and not in fact.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: All that mattered. All that was there was the story,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the inspiration, and the art. There she was, starting her
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: first novel in nineteen sixty five, freshly divorced, thirty four
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: years old, and struggling as one of the few black
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: women in an incredibly white male industry. Yet in her
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: mind this was the height of life. She was no
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: longer a child, and yet for all her responsibilities, everything
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: was quite simple. Her kids needed her to be an adult,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: so did her unfinished novel Wake Up, Show Up, be present,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Give it everything you've got, which she did even after
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: The Bluest Eye was published to rave reviews in nineteen seventy.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: She followed it with ten more novels, nine non fiction works,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: five children's books, two plays and short stories, and she
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: earned herself a National Book Award, a Nobel Prize, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: a Presidential medal. Yet for all the plaudits, she must
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: have been most proud of having done it while being
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a great mother, a great working mother. Of course, it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: not exactly fun to wake up early. Even the people
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: who have reaped a lifetime of benefits from it still
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: struggle with it. You think you're not a mourning person.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Nobody is a mourning person. But at least in the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: morning we are free. Hemingway would talk about how he'd
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: get up early because there was no one to disturb you,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and it is cool or cold, and you come to
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: your work and warm as you write. Morrison found she
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: was just more confident in the morning, before the day
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: had exacted its toll, and the mind was fresh. Like
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: most of us. She realized she was just not very bright,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: or very witty or very inventive. After the sun goes down.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Who can be after a day of banal conversations, frustrations, mistakes,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and exhaustion. Not that it's all about being clever. There's
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: a reason CEOs hit the gym early. They still have
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: will power. Then there's a reason people read and think
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: in the morning they know they might not get time later.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: There's a reason coaches get to the facility before everyone else.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: They can get a jump on the competition. That way,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: be up and doing while you're fresh, while you can
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: grab that hour before daylight, Grab that hour before traffic,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Grab it while no one is looking, while everyone else
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: is still asleep. In Marcus Aurelius's meditations, we hear the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: most powerful man in the world trying to convince himself
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to get out of bed at dawn, when the lower
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: part of himself wants desperately to stay. Is this what
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I was created for? He asks of his reluctance to
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: huddle under the blankets and stay warm. Yes, it is
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: nicer under there, but is that what we were born
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: for to feel nice. That's how you're going to spend
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the gift of life, the gift of this present moment
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: that you will never have again. Don't you see the plants,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the birds, the ants, and the spiders and the bees
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: as best they can, he said to himself, but also
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: to us. And you're not willing to do your job
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: as a human being. Why aren't you running to do
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: what your nature demands? Yet here we are, thousands years later,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: still hitting the snooze button on our alarms. Here we
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: are wasting the most productive hours of the day, choosing
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to reject these moments, before the interruptions, before the distractions,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: before the rest of the world gets up and going too,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: passing on the opportunity to gather our flowering potential while
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: it's freshest, still shining with morning. Duke, I think Christ
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: has recommended rising early in the morning by rising from
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: his grave very early, observed the theologian Jonathan Edwards in
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the seventeen twenties. Is that why quiet mornings seems so holy?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Perhaps it's that we're tapping into the traditions of our ancestors,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: who also rose early, to prey, to farm, to fetch
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: water from the river or the well, to travel across
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the desert before the sun got too hot. When you
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: have trouble waking up, when you find it hard, remind
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: yourself of who you come from. Remind yourself of the tradition.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Remind yourself of what is at stake. Think, as Morrison did,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: of her grandmother, who had more children and an even
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: harder life. Think of Morrison herself, who certainly did not
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: have it easy and still got up early. Think of
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: how lucky you are. Be glad to be awake, because
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: it's better than the alternative, which we'll all greet one day.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Feel the joy of being able to do what you love.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Cherish the time, but most of all, use it.
