  Hey sis, do you find yourself in a nasty cycle of being motivated to start just
• 0:46
  to fall off the wagon by midweek?
• 0:48
  Overwhelm is such a heavy thing amongst women right now and there could be many causes.
• 0:53
  The noise in the weight loss space or inconsistency in your actions that cause
• 0:58
  feelings of guilt or information overload or just the burdens that we hold with having to juggle it all.
• 1:06

• 1:45
  The overwhelm is not going to magically stop.
• 1:49
  At your season of life, the only way to fix this struggle is by taking control
• 1:53
  of it yourself, and I want to show you how.
• 1:56
  So come join us on March 23rd. There's more information in this podcast description.
• 2:02
  Okay, y'all, so many people are out here searching for the one thing,
• 2:08
  right, that they need to be successful at weight loss. And.
• 2:12
  Oh my gosh, it's information overload, right? So we are so consumed with so
• 2:17
  many things that could be successful at weight loss that oftentimes it can feel impossible.
• 2:24
  So this is why we are seeing so many people resort to more interventions right
• 2:31
  now, like the pills or the shots, because they want to find the answer, right?
• 2:35
  Like we want to lose weight, duh, you know?
• 2:38
  But there's so much noise and so much information out there that it's like,
• 2:44
  wait, but what about this? But what about this? But what about this?
• 2:47
  And the honest to God truth is, is that pills and shots right now are the loudest answer.
• 2:53
  We are hearing that more across the board from our algorithm,
• 2:58
  you know, to our friends, to our co-workers.
• 3:01
  And so a lot of people, even though they may not want to go that route,
• 3:05
  they are hearing that that must be the route.
• 3:08
  And that's why they go there, right? But today I want to talk about the one
• 3:13
  thing that you really need to be successful for not only weight loss,
• 3:17
  but long-term weight loss,
• 3:19
  whether you are, you know, have done an intervention or doing an intervention
• 3:23
  right now, like it doesn't matter.
• 3:25
  This is the one thing that you really need.
• 3:29
  For that lasting, long-term, successful weight loss. And we're going to talk
• 3:33
  about how to get it as well. So I'm going to dive right on in today.
• 3:37
  So one thing I do want to hit on here is that when we decide we want to make
• 3:42
  a change, any change, not just weight loss, right?
• 3:44
  We often go all in, right? We go all in on the change. We Google about it.
• 3:49
  We ask chat, you know, our algorithm starts to target us.
• 3:53
  You know, we ask our friends, you know, we may buy a course,
• 3:56
  We may join a membership, whatever, right?
• 3:59
  But we go all in on that thing.
• 4:03
  And for some people, this can be a mistake.
• 4:06
  Not always, okay? And this is so funny. It's going to explain to you why maybe
• 4:10
  your friend went low carb and she was so successful and is still sticking to
• 4:14
  it today and you didn't even last a week, right? Like this is going to explain that to you.
• 4:19
  But sometimes it is a mistake, okay, doing it this way. And so the reason behind
• 4:25
  the mistake is that most of us are so busy that we literally cannot make an
• 4:30
  entire lifestyle shift at one time, right?
• 4:33
  But we try to anyway, and we end up defeated and given up on our goals only
• 4:39
  a few weeks later, right?
• 4:40
  Like your girlfriend may not have really ate many carbs to begin with,
• 4:44
  right? Or she may have had a life that...
• 4:46
  It lent more time to, you know, creating these low carb keto creations or whatever than you did, right?
• 4:54
  She may not love Blue Bell ice cream as much as you do, right?
• 4:58
  And so she was able to make,
• 5:02
  adjustments in her life, which may have actually been smaller adjustments to
• 5:07
  go the low carb route than you were because they felt bigger and heavier to
• 5:13
  you because of the way your life is and because of the way you love Bluebell
• 5:19
  and she doesn't, you know.
• 5:21
  And so this is a super vicious cycle where we want to be like we find these, oh, this worked for her.
• 5:29
  And so I'm going to try it and whatever.
• 5:31
  And so then we decide we want to be that go get her girl, right?
• 5:35
  We want to do what she did. We want to show up and show out and lose the weight,
• 5:39
  how she did it and whatever.
• 5:41
  But our lives simply will not allow that.
• 5:45
  Okay. And so you're like, okay, Constance, well, what do we do?
• 5:48
  Do we just keep trying to throw spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks? No. Okay.
• 5:52
  I want to tell you the number one thing that you need to do to see that successful
• 5:57
  weight loss for yourself.
• 6:00
  And it is to remove the chaos around the thing that you desire.
• 6:06
  Okay. So I want to unpeel these layers of this onion.
• 6:10
  What do we desire? For me in the past, it's been lowering my anxiety.
• 6:17
  And so I could have gone to every book, every internet article,
• 6:23
  every friend, every therapist.
• 6:26
  I could have done all the things that are out there to actually do for that desire.
• 6:31
  And so for you, we're talking today, obviously, about weight loss.
• 6:36
  Weight loss is the thing that you desire. And so we make the mistake where we
• 6:42
  go to the friends, the internet, the weight loss clinics, the experts that,
• 6:46
  you know, we go, the books, right? We do all these things.
• 6:51
  To get more information, to gather more knowledge, to get more ideas around that desire.
• 6:58
  And what does that create for us most of the time?
• 7:02
  It creates chaos. It creates overwhelm. It creates like a level of stress that
• 7:08
  makes, you know, we uncover things about the topic that we didn't even know.
• 7:11
  And now we're worried about that instead of, you know, just actually doing the dang thing.
• 7:16
  You know, so many people come into our program and they're like,
• 7:19
  okay, I want to start next week, but I've already been to the grocery store this week.
• 7:23
  And so I'm not going to start until I can get to the grocery store and buy the healthy groceries.
• 7:28
  Because I know that if I don't buy the healthy groceries, you know,
• 7:31
  I'm I know I need to buy like apples and broccoli to be able to lose weight.
• 7:35
  And I'm like, says who? Start today.
• 7:38
  You know, stop reading all the things. Like, I want to start, you know, doing this.
• 7:42
  I really, really want to lose weight. But I'm not going to be able to,
• 7:45
  you know, go for a walk after work this week because I've got meetings all week.
• 7:49
  And so I'm going to wait till next week when I'll have a free,
• 7:51
  a more free afternoon so I can start my walk so that I know that I'll start
• 7:55
  and lose some weight. No, start today. Okay.
• 7:58
  Make a better choice in your meeting luncheon. Okay. Like,
• 8:02
  we magnify all the information that we gather around the desire, whatever it is.
• 8:15
  And that creates a sense of overwhelm that causes us to really not even want to start, right?
• 8:21
  And so when we decide, okay, this is what we're setting out to do.
• 8:25
  For me, in this case, we're saying, I'm going to lower my anxiety.
• 8:27
  For you, we're saying, you're going to start losing weight, right? Right.
• 8:30
  Do not do what you always do, which is go to the Internet, go to friends, find some books.
• 8:38
  Right. At least not at first. You can always build on this later.
• 8:42
  You know, when you get a little more clarity about yourself,
• 8:45
  when you have a little more peace around yourself in this process,
• 8:49
  you can always do this a little later.
• 8:52
  But if you start out striving for that desire, right.
• 8:57
  And making decisions to try for something based on someone else and what they
• 9:04
  have accomplished, it won't stick, right? Like if you say, oh, Susie lost weight.
• 9:09
  I need to lose weight. What's she doing? You know, it's never going to stick.
• 9:13
  It's never going to stick because you didn't make that decision yourself, right?
• 9:17
  Or if you are making efforts for your weight loss that are fully dictated by
• 9:23
  someone else, they won't stick, right?
• 9:25
  So if you sign up again, that's why your friends, you know, killed it at low
• 9:30
  carb and you did not. Because...
• 9:33
  And those low-carb ways dictated how she lost weight.
• 9:39
  So you thought, I'll try it because it worked for her. And then now they're
• 9:43
  dictating how you're supposed to lose weight.
• 9:45
  And they ain't aligned. You don't like it. You don't want to do that.
• 9:48
  You know, your brain's fighting back with everything in you, right?
• 9:52
  Or if you are seeking wisdom from other people in order to support just the
• 9:59
  fact that you need to get started, right?
• 10:01
  I see this a lot. People go down these rabbit holes like, okay,
• 10:04
  I've got to read this book and I've got to know all this that she says and I've
• 10:09
  got to know the why behind the what before I just get started on the dang what, right?
• 10:14
  It's not going to stick. You're going to get bored of the what before you even
• 10:18
  finish the book, right? Or you finish the course or whatever, you know?
• 10:23
  Or if you are constantly influenced by what other people say you need to do, you will never do it.
• 10:29
  Y'all this is why these what are they called shake plates
• 10:32
  or whatever the vibrating plates you know
• 10:35
  are all the rage right now before that it was you know the weighted vests people
• 10:42
  swear by the aura rings and that's gonna you know change your life you know
• 10:46
  like we are constantly being influenced by things that other people say you
• 10:50
  need that will help you in your weight loss,
• 10:55
  if you if you have never would have thought of that before like if you never
• 10:59
  would have said you know what I really want I really want to put on a vest that
• 11:04
  weighs 20 extra pounds and walk around my neighborhood so all the people can
• 11:08
  be looking out their windows looking at me while I'm quite literally pouring sweat.
• 11:14
  If you did not say that on your own free will, then why are you all of a sudden
• 11:20
  sold out for needing to get yourself a weighted vest?
• 11:24
  That is marketing at its finest, right?
• 11:27
  Now, again, differently, if you were like, I wish there was something that would
• 11:31
  help me strengthen my muscles while I'm on my morning walk. Okay, okay.
• 11:35
  That's a different conversation, right? But this is why so many people have
• 11:39
  so many pieces of weight loss or exercise equipment that are collecting dust
• 11:44
  all over their homes, right?
• 11:46
  Because they were influenced into thinking that like the shake weight or whatever,
• 11:51
  remember that thing you hold it held in your hands and it would shake your arms,
• 11:54
  you know, was going to magically change their lives, right?
• 11:58
  And so the point I'm trying to get at here is that information is no longer
• 12:03
  what we need, right? Every product known to man is out there.
• 12:08
  That's probably not really what we need most of the time either,
• 12:11
  right? But we keep seeking the information.
• 12:15
  We keep seeking out that next best thing product because those things,
• 12:21
  gathering information, hearing from your friends or buying the course or,
• 12:25
  you know, whatever, or buying the product, right?
• 12:30
  Those things are easier than actually just doing the dang thing, right?
• 12:36
  Like if you woke up and you said, I am sick of this crap. I'm going to start
• 12:38
  losing weight. I'm going to do it the best way I know how. Let's go.
• 12:42
  Think about how much less overwhelmed that would be in your brain because you
• 12:46
  wouldn't go seeking the information, right?
• 12:49
  But also think about how much more encouraging and powerful it would be probably
• 12:54
  by end of day today because you wouldn't have all your ducks in a row,
• 12:59
  right? You wouldn't, you wouldn't have gone to the grocery store.
• 13:01
  You wouldn't have gotten your, your, you know, aura ring in yet.
• 13:05
  You would have just said, no, I'm just going to try to like take the stairs
• 13:08
  at work today and maybe drink a glass of water.
• 13:12
  You know, that would have been it instead of putting so much pressure and so
• 13:17
  much burden on yourself to have everything lined up perfectly, right?
• 13:21
  One of the biggest struggles women are having right now is the overwhelm that
• 13:26
  is coming from the influx of information that is available at every turn, right?
• 13:31
  We just like we think we just want someone to tell us what to do.
• 13:34
  But the problem is everyone, every single body is out there telling us what to do.
• 13:41
  And none of it actually feels comfortable in our own bodies, right?
• 13:46
  None of it actually feels valid enough to go all in on it, right?
• 13:50
  Like we order the weighted vest.
• 13:52
  We get out there and we walk with it.
• 13:55
  And then we automatically start second guessing it.
• 13:58
  Like, I don't know, man, my back's kind of hurting or this got me sweating.
• 14:02
  I'm gonna have to take a shower before I get ready for work. So I can't be doing this.
• 14:06
  No, Susie came out and was asking me questions about it. And I just know she's
• 14:09
  texting the other neighbors talking about me.
• 14:12
  I can't be wearing this. Like none of it, none of the decisions that we make
• 14:16
  on the front end that were influenced upon us feels comfortable enough at some
• 14:24
  point or another in the process to go all in on it, to be committed,
• 14:28
  to say like, no, I'm, I'm dedicated to this fully from a state of feeling in
• 14:35
  alignment internally with it.
• 14:39
  Not from a state of feeling like I have to be disciplined at this because this
• 14:43
  is what they say is going to work, right? Those are two different things.
• 14:46
  That's why some of us can go real hardcore on a diet, even if we don't love it, right?
• 14:51
  We can stay the course. We can
• 14:53
  be real, you know, rigid. We can cut the carbs. We can cut the alcohol.
• 14:57
  We can do whatever. But every single day internally, we're like,
• 15:01
  this sucks. I don't want to do this.
• 15:03
  I want to be able to eat cake at that birthday party next week.
• 15:06
  Why am I doing it? Like, you know, it doesn't feel in alignment.
• 15:10
  So eventually we quit it, right? No matter,
• 15:14
  it can be a day later or it can be a year later, but eventually we are going
• 15:17
  to quit something like that, that has been told to us must be done,
• 15:22
  but we are internally fighting it back every single day, right?
• 15:26
  And so this is a nasty pattern. This is a cycle for so many women.
• 15:30
  And a lot of times what the result is, is we just Stay seeking the next thing.
• 15:37
  Hoping that it works, hoping that it feels good, right?
• 15:41
  Getting overwhelmed and not seeing the growth in whatever that desire is that we have, right?
• 15:48
  And so one of the biggest, and this has been a thing for me too, right?
• 15:53
  Like I have, for business-wise specifically, I have sought out so many things
• 15:59
  that I thought are supposed to work. They said it works, you know?
• 16:02
  They said pouring all my money into ad spend on Facebook works.
• 16:08
  So I'm going to do it, right? Even though every fiber in my being does not feel
• 16:13
  like this kind of ad is what I want to put out for people.
• 16:16
  But they said this kind of ad is what gets people to click, right?
• 16:19
  And so here I am going against what I know to be true internally,
• 16:24
  because someone externally promised me that it would work, right?
• 16:28
  And that's exactly what you guys are doing with your weight loss every single day, right?
• 16:32
  And so over time, as I've been working on myself in other areas,
• 16:37
  right, in my area of peace and regulating my nervous system and growing a business
• 16:43
  in the way that feels comfortable to me, I've had to zoom out and say,
• 16:48
  okay, why is it constant discomfort?
• 16:51
  Why am I feeling like this is such a bigger chore than it really is in certain
• 16:59
  areas, right? Some people can feel like weight loss is just so much more magnified
• 17:03
  than it really has to be, right?
• 17:05
  And for me with business, that's been the case. Some areas of business just
• 17:08
  feels like, oh my God, you know, the actual coming on this podcast and then
• 17:13
  helping my clients, that is the best thing I've ever done. But it's a lot of
• 17:16
  that other stuff, right? And so I've had to zoom out and say, why?
• 17:20
  Why? And so that's what I'm asking you to do right now is to sit with it.
• 17:25
  Ask why and what for yourself, right?
• 17:29
  I have a mentor and she's always saying, the truth is within.
• 17:34
  The truth is within.
• 17:37
  I don't know why I keep hesitating on that. The truth is within, right?
• 17:43
  And that is so true. for it to feel aligned, for it to feel comfortable,
• 17:49
  for it to feel like something you're willing to stick to for more than five
• 17:53
  minutes, the idea has to come from you.
• 17:57
  Like the habit has to come from you.
• 17:59
  Because if it comes from you, then more often than not, you are comfortable with it, right?
• 18:08
  You know that next right thing. There have been so many times in my business
• 18:12
  that I knew this is just where I need to focus.
• 18:15
  But instead, I went seeking a course or seeking an expert's guidance,
• 18:19
  and they steered me down a different path.
• 18:22
  Next thing you know, six months later, I'm circling back to the thing I knew
• 18:26
  I needed to do at the beginning, right?
• 18:29
  Guidance, y'all, guidance is great, right? Like, I'm not saying do this thing
• 18:34
  on your own by any means, right?
• 18:36
  Guidance is so great, and having that support and that accountability is unmatched
• 18:41
  for a lot of people in their success, Right.
• 18:44
  But the guidance that you seek must be aligned with how you feel so that it
• 18:52
  doesn't feel like more pressure or more, you know, overwhelm or like completely send you down a spiral.
• 18:59
  Right? So you need to know what
• 19:01
  you need to do and then seek out the guidance that will help you down that path
• 19:08
  instead of seeking out someone to tell you exactly what to do and you feel like
• 19:15
  you're fighting against it day in and day out, right?
• 19:19
  Because if you get to that point of the overwhelm and the spiral and the frustration
• 19:24
  from not feeling aligned with whatever the action is, it leads to avoidance, right?
• 19:32
  Like eventually we get sick of being uncomfortable with whatever it is we're
• 19:36
  trying to do and we avoid it. We look the other way.
• 19:39
  We don't write our coach back. We, you know, we self-sabotage,
• 19:45
  right? So here's an example.
• 19:48
  If you say, I know I need to lose weight, And I know that for me,
• 19:53
  tracking my intake is the answer, right? I have a PFM Plus client.
• 19:59
  She's probably going to listen to this. And she's been with me for a couple
• 20:02
  months. And she started and she's like, okay, I really want to avoid tracking.
• 20:07
  And so we have been going round and round trying to do some things to help her
• 20:11
  with weight loss that we're not tracking related, right?
• 20:14
  Like I'm all about, if you don't want to track, you might, who knows what, you know,
• 20:20
  issues you have with that and why. And so I'm not going to force you there.
• 20:25
  But I think she really wanted me to say, you need to track.
• 20:29
  You need to track. But I was giving her that space. I was giving her that grace.
• 20:33
  We've been working on a lot of other things in between then and now.
• 20:36
  Well, a couple of weeks ago, she said, OK, I really had to come to Jesus meeting.
• 20:40
  I've really been thinking on it. And I think I just need to track.
• 20:43
  I know I hate I know I hate the act of like opening my app and tracking it.
• 20:47
  But I also know that that is the way that I feel the most in control as I'm
• 20:52
  trying to lose this weight. And I'm like, okay, awesome, right?
• 20:55
  And so I let her make that decision. If I had told her three months ago,
• 21:01
  like, hey, no, you have to track.
• 21:03
  The only way to do this is to track. Like, cause she had seen progress without
• 21:06
  tracking, right, in the past three months. But the only way to do this is to track.
• 21:11
  She would have immediately resisted me or hated me every step of the way, right?
• 21:15
  And so if you say like, I know I need to lose weight and I know that for me
• 21:18
  tracking is the answer cool.
• 21:20
  Go find a programmer or coach that will support that, right?
• 21:24
  Something that is supporting what you know deeply already to be true, right?
• 21:29
  That answer that you came to without being spoon fed, right?
• 21:34
  But if you say, I need to lose weight and I need someone to tell me what to do.
• 21:39
  And then you go seeking a coach who shows you like, yeah, like there,
• 21:43
  again, there is no doubt that people are successful with all different ways of weight loss, right?
• 21:48
  So if you just go seeking any coach and you find one that shows you how successful
• 21:53
  their people are, you know, then you may be, yeah, you may be motivated to start.
• 21:58
  But after a few weeks of following that no carb, vegan, hit workout every day,
• 22:04
  you know, lifestyle, even though your husband's like a meat eater and you love
• 22:07
  sourdough and walking's really the only exercise you've ever done.
• 22:10
  Like if when you go weeks of doing that, you're, you're gonna avoid.
• 22:17
  You're gonna look the other way. You're gonna quit. And so it's so heartbreaking
• 22:21
  to me because so many people have done this and they think something's wrong with them.
• 22:27
  They have done this exact cycle where they've started something they know or
• 22:31
  maybe they don't even know at the very beginning, right?
• 22:34
  But they've recognized over time, like, this isn't my jam.
• 22:37
  This isn't really what I need to be doing. This isn't really like where I feel
• 22:40
  aligned. This isn't really where I feel comfortable, right?
• 22:43
  And then they eventually give up on it and they think something's wrong with them, right?
• 22:48
  Like they think they're a failure because they couldn't stick to whatever it
• 22:53
  was this woman was promising they would be successful at.
• 22:56
  When in reality, it just wasn't the right fit, period, right?
• 23:02
  And the thing is, is you are the only one that is going to be able to decide that.
• 23:09
  I cannot decide that for you. That's the hardest part, right?
• 23:13
  And so if you are desperate to lose the weight, my challenge to you today is
• 23:20
  right now, turn off your notifications, stop scrolling,
• 23:26
  literally unfollow anybody that you feel like has maybe put some ideas in your
• 23:29
  head that haven't felt comfortable lately, okay?
• 23:33
  Don't think about what your co-worker's doing or your friend said or,
• 23:37
  you know, anything like that, right?
• 23:40
  And see what comes up. period.
• 23:43
  Sit in this for an uncomfortably long time period without picking up your phone
• 23:51
  and Googling something, without asking chat.
• 23:54
  Just sit in it, uncomfortably so, until something comes up.
• 24:00
  Like say, you know, pray, Lord, you know my desire to lose this weight,
• 24:05
  but I do want it to feel aligned.
• 24:08
  I do want to feel like I can manage it and that it's comfortable in my lifestyle.
• 24:15
  Show me, show me some ideas, show me some things, show me where to start, right?
• 24:21
  And now you may have a few things come up because your brain is still going
• 24:25
  to be working to recall like what it knows from the past.
• 24:28
  Your brain's not just going to forget the low carb vegan hit program you joined
• 24:34
  once upon a time, you know, like it's not going to forget that.
• 24:37
  And so that's why you have to sit with it further. You have to continue to sit
• 24:42
  in that uncomfortableness and like think about it,
• 24:44
  discern it say like okay no I know that
• 24:47
  maybe I lost a quick five pounds with that that vegan program but
• 24:51
  I also know that it was a daily fight with my husband and I
• 24:54
  over what we were going to have for dinner you know and so
• 24:56
  is that is that really Lord where I need to be is that like ask your body is
• 25:01
  that really what we desire if you feel tension and you feel like heart palpitations
• 25:07
  or any form of like anxiety or like uncomfortableness like then you know that
• 25:11
  that's probably not the answer. So you have to continue to sit.
• 25:15
  You cannot distract from that, right? You've got to continue to sit with it, right?
• 25:20
  And just continue to ask, okay, so what does feel most comfortable right now in this season?
• 25:25
  And so this is another thing I do want to just pause and say here.
• 25:29
  Some ladies come to me at like 40 and still want to be successful with what
• 25:36
  worked when they were 19 in college.
• 25:39
  You know, they're like, in college, I just cut my portions and I got on the
• 25:43
  elliptical every day for an hour and a half and like, I killed it.
• 25:46
  You know, and I'm like, okay, cool. But like, in college, you had the time to
• 25:51
  get on the elliptical for an hour and a half, right? And you also were on a limited budget.
• 25:57
  So portions probably weren't that big a deal. You know, you didn't have three
• 26:01
  kids at home that were constantly trying to get you to eat cookies with them.
• 26:06
  You know what I mean? Like it's in college. That was great. I'm so proud of
• 26:09
  how you handled it in college, but this is different now. We cannot revert back.
• 26:14
  Right. And so remembering your seasons as you are sitting with this. Right.
• 26:19
  And then what you feel like, OK, right now, what can I fully commit to that
• 26:23
  I know will help in my progress?
• 26:27
  Continue to do this. This is not going to be a one-time, like,
• 26:30
  I've got all the answers situation, right? Continue to come back to the quiet.
• 26:35
  When it bubbles up, when you find yourself starting to think about it,
• 26:38
  because I know y'all are always thinking about your dang weight loss.
• 26:40
  As many of you as listen to this podcast, I know you were all thinking about
• 26:44
  it all the time. I'll tell you that, you know?
• 26:47
  And so when it comes up inside of you, you think, oh, what can I do about my weight loss?
• 26:52
  Let's think about that again. Instead of going back to the Google or to the
• 26:56
  Instagram or to the podcast, sit, pray.
• 27:02
  Keep coming back to it, okay, until eventually it will feel comfortable.
• 27:08
  It may not be apparent immediately, but when you finally find a comfort,
• 27:13
  you'll know where to start, okay?
• 27:15
  And it's such a beautiful thing.
• 27:17
  I'm going through this right now as I'm praying through, like,
• 27:19
  what's my next steps for this business?
• 27:22
  It's such a beautiful thing because I just kind of know like,
• 27:25
  okay, I don't have all the answers and I may need, you know,
• 27:29
  I may have three months from now, I may have a lot more, you know,
• 27:33
  on my plate to do because of what's been revealed at that point.
• 27:37
  But for right now, I know I need a shift in the business and I know these are
• 27:42
  these, this one or two things is what the Lord has revealed to me right now.
• 27:45
  So my job is to go all in on these one or two things until the next step is revealed, right?
• 27:53
  I was listening to a recent podcast by Priscilla Shire, and she was talking
• 27:57
  about the key to knowing.
• 27:59
  And the key to knowing, you know, your next steps,
• 28:02
  but really the key to obeying and having the life that you're intended to have
• 28:09
  20 years from now is to do the thing you know you need to do. 20 minutes from now.
• 28:17
  You know, we always we all want to be thinking about, oh, when I lose these
• 28:21
  hundred pounds and get a tummy tuck and whatever, like we all want to go that far ahead.
• 28:26
  And then you'll never reach that if you don't, you know, put down the donut
• 28:31
  right now, you know, put your walking shoes on to go for a walk right now.
• 28:37
  You know, and so so we just even just and I were walking yesterday and we were
• 28:41
  talking about, again, the business.
• 28:42
  And he was like, Constance, it's like the answer is down the street and you
• 28:48
  turn left on that street right there. Like we were looking at another street that was coming out.
• 28:52
  And he was like, it's like, if you turn left on that street,
• 28:55
  then there's your answer.
• 28:57
  He said, but if you don't walk to that stop sign and then turn left on that
• 29:03
  street, you will never see it.
• 29:05
  So you have got to put one foot in front of the other.
• 29:10
  Get comfortable with what is revealed to you in this
• 29:13
  moment do it and then
• 29:16
  just wait for the next moment's answer right and so
• 29:19
  yeah that is that is a long a long a long explanation to get to again just like
• 29:26
  sitting with it and removing the chaos around it but again all that that thought
• 29:32
  process of what's next and what I should be doing and what'd she do to get here
• 29:36
  and what you know all that? That is the problem.
• 29:39
  And that is why you can't achieve the thing because it is so overwhelming and
• 29:44
  it is so chaotic inside that brain of yours, right?
• 29:48
  So once you sit and get quiet and you kind of feel like, okay, I've done this enough.
• 29:54
  This same thing keeps coming up for me. I feel like this is where I need to start, right?
• 29:59
  Then we drown out the rest, right?
• 30:03
  We take full action and making sure that we get rid of that noise so you can
• 30:08
  go all in on the one thing that has been revealed to you right now.
• 30:13
  Until the next thing is revealed, right? So just working our hardest to drown out the noise.
• 30:20
  Telling your co-worker, I love you, but I don't want to hear about the next
• 30:23
  diet program you've started this week.
• 30:25
  You know, again, unfollowing people on Instagram who trigger you,
• 30:30
  you know, to want to do more, be more, strive more.
• 30:34
  Muting people on Facebook who maybe are putting their progress pictures up every
• 30:40
  five minutes and like, well, yeah, we can be so proud of them.
• 30:43
  That does, if they are triggering you, then you don't have to watch it.
• 30:48
  You know, doing the things you need to do to make sure that you can stay laser
• 30:53
  focused on the one thing that you know you need to do to reach that desire.
• 30:59
  So as always, I hope you guys have a wonderful week and I really encourage you to do this. y'all.
• 31:06
  I know it feels uncomfortable and weird, but really try to get quiet and seek the one thing.
• 31:12
  We have got more information than we know what to do with, and we still feel lost and confused.
• 31:16
  So what's it going to hurt to just try it this way instead and see what happens?
• 31:20
  All right, y'all. Y'all have a good day, and remember to say grace.
• 31:24
  Thank you for listening to today's episode of Save.
