- Lisa Dwoskin: Hello and welcome back to Life Rescue Podcast with Lisa. Hi, hope everybody's doing very well today. I'm going to say happy Thursday because I upload these podcasts every Thursday. So happy Thursday. Don't forget if you want to ask me a question, comment, share a topic with me, be here live with me on my podcast. Please call in at 754. 222 4413. I would love to hear from all of you. And for those of you who do text and call and comment on my podcast on YouTube, thank you all. I really appreciate it. I'm very grateful. So everybody just close your eyes for a moment. Take one, only one. And if you're driving, don't close your eyes. Close your eyes and take one long deep breath in. Hold your breath. Exhale out. And just be still for a moment. Breathing in beautiful positive energy. Exhaling out any negative energy. And then open your eyes and you feel much better. You're raising the energetic vibe to a positive state of being. So breath work is so important for your nervous system. Three breaths I like to take. Deeply breathing in and then exhaling fully three times in a row, at least three times a day. It's scientifically proven to reduce the stress and relax your nervous system. So you can bring your arms above your head and breathe in. Beautiful positive energy and exhale out any negative energy. You can ha hold your hands in prayer position, or you can just relax them on your thighs. And then also, if you put them down on the ground, palms down, that helps you with balancing, centering, and grounding yourself. And then when your palms are up, you're opening up your mind, your heart, your body, your spirit for healing from the universe, your higher power. So whatever you feel like doing, one more time, I'm going to do some grounding. Breathe in. Beautiful positive energy. Exhale any negative. Okay, we're ready to jump into today's topic, which is very exciting. All my topics are exciting, right? Five ways to understand yourself more deeply. Five ways. And before we jump into that, I just want to go over last week, we talked about finding peace. Love and light. Okay. I'm getting a tattoo by the way, right here. That says peace, love, and light. I've been saying that forever. I'm gonna go with my daughter when she gets another tattoo, and I'm gonna get one right there. Peace, love, and light. So last week I talked about peace, love, and light within ourselves. Today we're going to take it a step further, and we are going to understand ourselves as a whole. Okay, it's not just about relationships with another person, it's about every area of your life, career, money, health, body image, habits, self-love, and those moments where we just feel stuck. We need to understand ourselves better so that we can keep moving forward. Very important. Whenever something isn't working. We usually look outside of ourselves, and I went over this extensively in the last podcast. But what if we stop and ask ourselves this question? What can I learn about myself here in this situation that I'm going through presently? What can I learn about myself? So going within yourself. That's not taking blame. It's taking your power back. When we look within, we sometimes discover things about ourselves we didn't even realize were there. That's where self realization begins. We become aware of those things and make different choices. That's where we move towards self accualization. That was a tongue twister. I was about to say self-realization. So that's something I'm going through right now. I am taking a lot of time to myself. I did a video about it this morning. I am taking time to myself to self-realize, self-actualize, to go within and see what is going on within myself that I might not even recognize. I might even know that's there. What are Issues that I need to work on and challenges within myself instead of always pointing the finger at my spouse, at my children, at my dog, at my friends, at my co-workers, whatever it is. What can I do different differently to change myself? So a couple things, five things I'm going to go over. Let me take a sip of my VOL water. Five to eight. Hydration, intentional water. Check it out. Vol 528. Go check it out on Instagram. Yes, it's delicious. Okay, so number one. Get quiet and listen to yourself. Get quiet and listen to yourself. Now, how I get quiet is meditation, yoga. You can do gardening, you can play golf, whatever it is. Get quiet and listen to yourself. Put the phone down. Breathe. Meditate. Take a walk. Give yourself enough quiet time to actually hear what is going on in the inside of yourself. Ask what am I really feeling at this moment? What do I really need? What is my intuition trying to tell me? Ask yourself, what is my part in this relationship problem, children problem, job problem, anxiety, stress level, whatever it is, what is my part in this exact Challenge moment or problem. Instead of immediately asking, whose fault is this? Ask what is my part in this? What can I learn from this? What can I do differently? What is actually within my control? Point the finger at you. You. Okay. So next. Taking responsibility isn't the same as blaming yourself. It's not. I'm not saying blame yourself for everything. Take responsibility. Recognize where you have the power to make a change. Where do you have the power to make a change in your own life? Ask what patterns keep showing up in my life? And boy, ⁓ boy, do I know. What patterns keep showing up in my life? That's why I'm doing this video. That's why I'm doing self-actualization and realization of myself because I am recognizing the patterns that I keep repeating over and over and over and over in my life. Am I doing something that keeps getting me the same result? Am I choosing from fear instead of love? Love, could I be self-sabotaging something I actually want? Self-sabotage is a huge one, huge. So many people self-sabotage themselves. Number four, get curious, non-judgmental. Get curious, don't judge. When you discover something uncomfortable about yourself. Don't immediately say, what's wrong with me? ⁓ my god, what's wrong with me? Don't judge yourself. Instead ask this, why do I respond this way? What might this part of me need? That's more loving. That's more honoring yourself. Why do I respond this way? What part of me needs more? You're not looking for perfection. You're looking for understanding. You're looking for understanding. Number five, choose a new response. Awareness is powerful, but what we do with that awareness is where transformation happens. So I've become aware of a lot of things lately about myself. And I can say it out loud. ⁓ I'm aware. about this, I'm aware about that, but if I don't transform it within myself, it doesn't matter how many times I say it out loud, I need to work on myself, transform myself in order for me to move forward. Once you recognize the pattern, pause. Be still quiet. See how I just did that? Pause. You don't have to react the same way you've always reacted. You can actually change the pattern a different way. Okay? Maybe you can communicate differently. Maybe you can set a boundary. Maybe you can stop chasing something. Outside of yourself, maybe trust yourself. That's another big one. Trust yourself, listen to your intuition. So when I meditate, I'm just gonna take a pause on this. Pause, right? Wasn't that what I said? Recognize your pattern and pause. So when I meditate, and I love to meditate on the beach, that's what I've been doing a lot these days. I go to the beach when the sun is coming up and I watch the sunrise and I meditate. I do some stretching on my neck, my shoulders, then I put my hands in prayer position, my thumbs touching my heart, near my heart, and I close my eyes and I start to meditate. I just take deep breaths. And I sigh out that exhale. But then I like to take my hands and put ⁓ here, my third eye, and I close my eyes and I do that breath again. And I the third eye is your intuition, your inner voice, your guidance, your higher power, your spirit guide, God, whatever it is you believe in. Right there, your third eye is your inner voice. So I like to stay here for a moment after I do here my heart center. Then I go to my third eye, and then I lift my arms like this, wide open with my palms up, and I do it again. And I'm meditating, saying I open my heart, my mind, my body, my spirit for healing from the universe. So it's my heart center, my third eye, and then open to the universe. So I do that and it takes, I don't know, five minutes. I breathe. Then I do some grounding work, like I just said, I put my palms down on the sand or on my legs, whatever I want, or yeah, and always actually not my legs. That's when I'm my palms are up. I put my hands down on the sand, on the ground, on the grass, whatever. So I ground myself and I just meditate, I breathe, I think about grounding, I think about centering, I think about balancing, I think about being solid with my feet on the ground, connecting with Mother Earth. And then when I'm done with the meditating, I might Do some neck rolls, some shoulder rolls, some back stretches, whatever I feel. Then I pray. So I close my eyes and I start to pray. And when I'm praying, I'm asking God for whatever it is that I want. I I thank God. I'm grateful. I you know, pray really hard. Then when I'm done with the prayer work, then I'm still. I'm just still with my palms up. Once the sun rises, then I watch it. Then I close my eyes one more time and I just stay still. I stay quiet. I pause. And then when I do that, guess what happens? God speaks to me. And I start hearing not necessarily voices, but I hear words. I hear I feel things. I can't explain it. And I know some of you are be like, ⁓ my God, that never happens to me. Well, it always happens to me. I'll just be quiet and still, and I feel like God speaks to me. And then I'll hear something like you are the light. ⁓ I've heard that a couple times. I hear be still, my child. Like, don't make a move. Be still. I hear discernment. I hear believe. I hear peace. I hear love. I hear light. I I believe in God. I'm not talking about religion. I'm talking about a higher power. I believe in God. I believe God is around me. God is in me. God is everywhere. God is at the beach with me when I'm at the beach. That's my church. So I like to pray to God and then meditate and hear God speak back to me. Hydration, very important. Intentional hydration. VOL. No, but really water is so important. Stay hydrated. So those are the things that I do that bring me more peace and and I understand myself more and I can grow as a person and begin to transform. So the goal isn't to completely change who you are. It's to become a better version of yourself. It's to become fully present within yourself and grow on your journey to the best version of you. Okay, so I want to go over one more time the five different key points to understand yourself more deeply. Number one, get quiet and listen to yourself. Get quiet and listen to yourself. Number two, ask what is my part? Ask that to yourself. What is my part in understanding myself? Number three, look at your patterns. You know the definition of insanity. Repeating the same pattern like the gerbil in the cage over and over, over and over, and expecting a different outcome. Look at your patterns. Number four, get curious, not judgmental. Get curious about yourself. Start to understand yourself more. Number five, choose a new response. Recognize it. And choose a different response. Change the cyclical way of insanity. Go this way. Change the energetic vibe. Go up, go down, go all around. Go positive. Change the energetic vibe. Okay. So, in closing, I hope you enjoyed my podcast so far. I'm trying to keep them a little bit shorter to keep your attention. Don't Be afraid to look within. ⁓ look within. It's so important. Don't be afraid of what you might find in that deep dark soul of yours. We all have the dark wolf, the black one, and the white one. Which one are you going to feed more? Which one are you going to feed more? Raise your energetic vibe. Feed the white one. Don't be afraid. Looking within isn't about criticizing yourself. It's not about finding everything that is wrong with you. No, it's about being honest with yourself clearly and compassionately to do something with what you discover. Your true authentic self, you're going to discover. For me, This is what the life rescue movement is all about. Rescuing your life. Rescuing my life. Getting to know yourself. Mind, body, and spirit. I am not here because I figured everything else out. Like I say this in every podcast. I do not have it figured out. I'm far from perfect. I'm on a journey, and my journey is with all of you. We're on this journey together. I'm here because I am trying to share my journey with all of you to hopefully help you along your journey. By sharing about what I'm learning, I hope it helps you to look within and learn more about yourself as well. Sometimes rescuing your life. Doesn't mean changing everything around you. Sometimes it starts with changing what is happening within yourself. I said this last week. Look within, get honest, get curious, take your power back and rescue your own life. That is the outline that I have presented for all of you with my life rescue movement. Look within. Get honest. Let your true and authentic self come out. Take your power back and rescue your life.
