136. Spring Forward · Your Enriched Self

• 0:00
  So this weekend it's daylight savings time, otherwise known as spring forward your clocks
• 0:08
  or lose an hour. And I think for many of us we focus more
• 0:12
  on losing the hour. We don't spend time thinking about what spring brings.
• 0:20
  And I want you to think about the spring forward. There are things for
• 0:24
  you to look forward to this season, and if no one has told you,
• 0:29
  I'm telling you now there's a lot to look forward to. First of
• 0:32
  all, spring reminds us of new life, whether it's new animals that are
• 0:37
  being birth right or hatched, whether it's flowers and bloom. We're watching the
• 0:44
  trees, you know, start to bud, start to grow again. We
• 0:48
  watch them go through a season of losing everything. And I think so many
• 0:53
  of you have been in a season of losing everything, you know, losing
• 0:57
  your footing, losing your losing your path. And I just want to remind
• 1:03
  you today that this is the season for you to spring forward. I want
• 1:07
  you to rethink the possibility of what this weekend is. Don't start your next
• 1:12
  week talking about, oh man, it was so hard getting up to come
• 1:17
  into work, I lost that hour. We need to reframe our minds,
• 1:19
  reframe our thinking and reframe our words, and I want you to think about
• 1:23
  that as you go into this weekend, because at the end of the day,
• 1:27
  you are the common denominator of if you're going to move forward. Hello,
• 1:46
  my friends from all across the globe, and welcome to the Urine Yourself
• 1:49
  Podcast. I am your host, Mylene Noir. I am a mindset coach
• 1:55
  and your mindset advocate, and all that means in this world, in your
• 1:57
  world, where it is busy and buzzing, and all the things are happening
• 2:01
  and all the areas of your life are requiring your attention. This is the
• 2:07
  place that I've curated so that you can take time to take that deep breath
• 2:14
  that you probably haven't taken all week, to center yourself and to do the
• 2:23
  work participate in the conversation of becoming more of your in bridge self. This
• 2:30
  podcast is intentional because I understand that in order to show up as your best
• 2:38
  self, you're going to have to work from within. So here on this
• 2:43
  podcast we talk about self care topics and not just the external things right,
• 2:49
  all the work we need to do internally, soul care, intentional thinking,
• 2:54
  and also we talk about the power of your words. Words create worlds,
• 3:02
  and if you're in a space right now that you don't like, your words
• 3:07
  can change that. Those words start from your thoughts. Those thoughts become the
• 3:15
  words, and those words become the actions and the activities that you take each
• 3:20
  and every day. And I know if you are listening to this you want
• 3:24
  to be the best version of yourself. Well it starts here. It starts
• 3:30
  with enriching yourself. And so if you are new to this podcast, I
• 3:34
  want to welcome you. I know that you were brought here on purpose,
• 3:38
  for a purpose. And if you are a repeat listener, I want to
• 3:43
  thank you because we've been doing this from the beginning or whenever you started or
• 3:46
  if you binged listen to these episodes, I want to thank you for participating
• 3:53
  and joining the conversation and dming and asking questions, asking for topics for us
• 4:00
  to delve into. That's what's kept us going. One hundred and thirty six
• 4:03
  episodes all because of you. So I want to extend gratitude to you from
• 4:10
  the bottom of my heart all the way to you. Now. If you
• 4:14
  know, you know, before we get into the episode, I always make
• 4:18
  a deposit into the bank of you, and I do so by way of
• 4:25
  affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to start your day and to command your
• 4:34
  morning. And this week's affirmation is this season represents the progress I have made.
• 4:46
  This season represents the progress I have made. This season represents the progress
• 4:56
  I have made. Now let's get into this week's episode of the Your Enriched
• 5:04
  Self podcast. As I talked about at the top of the podcast, every
• 5:15
  spring, it is always a magical time to watch new life emerge, to
• 5:21
  watch the trees that once were flourishing that then lost everything do it all over
• 5:30
  again. And this is your season to do it all over again. This
• 5:35
  is your season to win. All you can do is win. And I
• 5:40
  am of a mindset right now. It could be because I am doing a
• 5:44
  new thing, and sometimes when you do a new thing, it makes you
• 5:47
  a little intimidated. But I'm doing a new thing with some new people.
• 5:51
  I'm doing a new thing for me, I'm doing a new thing for the
• 5:57
  people I'm doing it with. It is such a wonderful season that I've entered.
• 6:01
  As I am doing this challenge. I think I spoke to you all
• 6:04
  about this boot camp that I decided to sign up for, and it has
• 6:11
  challenged me. But one thing I learned from one of my trainers long ago
• 6:16
  when I first started on my running journey. She said, what challenges you
• 6:20
  will change you. So I'm looking for the transformation, and I know we
• 6:27
  are looking for that transformation. This is the season of transformation. It is
• 6:31
  spring. We're literally watching nature transform in front of us. And one thing
• 6:36
  about nature is she leaves clues. She has a blueprint to let us see
• 6:42
  how this thing happens. We can re emerge, we can grow again,
• 6:46
  we can have the great comeback. Whatever it is that you want to call
• 6:50
  it. You can win. You can win. You were designed to win.
• 6:56
  Here's the thing. Because I'm in this new season, I'm challenging myself
• 7:00
  and I challenge you that if you can join something a community, if you
• 7:05
  can challenge yourself to do a new thing you've never done before. And when
• 7:10
  I tell you I've never done this thing before, I've never done this thing
• 7:13
  before. I'm gonna take a break just to talk about this boot camp for
• 7:15
  just a second. But this boot camp is not just about growing from the
• 7:21
  outside. It's not just about looking at you know, how much weight I've
• 7:25
  lost at the end of the six weeks, it's really an internal transformation.
• 7:30
  I've personally seen my own growth, and that's something that's typically hard to see,
• 7:35
  especially I'm literally three days into the boot camp. But it is hard
• 7:41
  to see growth for yourself, right you can people will tell you man,
• 7:44
  and you look different or you act different, and it's not even a physical
• 7:46
  change. I'm thinking about, for example, my relationship with food. It's
• 7:51
  a very different thought process about what I'm gonna eat, and not just that
• 7:56
  why I'm gonna eat it. The other thing is not just what I shouldn't
• 8:01
  eat, but why I shouldn't eat it. So I am just like a
• 8:05
  sponge I'm like SpongeBob. I'm absorbing everything that this season has to bring and
• 8:11
  everything that this boot camp is doing to me and for me, and I
• 8:13
  will absolutely be talking about this. I'm sure I can to do multiple episodes
• 8:18
  about this because there's so much happening not just within me, outside of me,
• 8:24
  but watching others go through this process with me has been phenomenal. Already,
• 8:28
  again, three days in and I'm already seeing this life changing life event
• 8:35
  happening for not just me, but for many many others. So I just
• 8:39
  wanted to take a moment on that because this is perfect timing. It's perfect
• 8:43
  timing, and I don't know if it's the combination of the boot camp and
• 8:46
  Spring, but it certainly feels like I can do hard things. And I
• 8:52
  know that when we don't want to do a hard thing, or when we
• 8:56
  feel like we can't do a hard thing, it's only because we've never done
• 9:00
  it before. But like I said, I've never done what I'm doing now,
• 9:05
  but there's something inside of me that says, you know what, you
• 9:09
  can do the hard things Alignment. Listen to this. I'm listening to this
• 9:13
  pastor, Pastor Bronner. He's here in Georgia, and he said something that
• 9:20
  resonated with me. He said he basically said, if you're doing something and
• 9:24
  you don't need God in it, then you're not doing a hard enough thing.
• 9:30
  Because what He wants is partnership with you, and that requires the gap
• 9:35
  between what you can do and what you can't do. You need to fill
• 9:39
  that gap. And that's where God comes in. And it blew my mind
• 9:43
  because it's right alongside where we are right now in this season of transformation,
• 9:48
  the season of change, this season of immersion, the seasion of growth.
• 9:52
  There's so much happening right now. You can only be excited for the spring
• 9:58
  forward. And that's why said, let's stop using this mindset of oh my
• 10:01
  gosh, I'm gonna lose an hour. Yeah, we know that. Every
• 10:05
  year we do that and we go into the Mondays, right the case of
• 10:09
  the Mondays, I'm sure everybody's heard it. And you start talking about the
• 10:11
  same old, same old, and then you live the same old, same
• 10:15
  ole, and then you do the same old, same o and then you
• 10:18
  be the same old, same old. And what I'm saying to you is
• 10:22
  we can be something new, we can be different, but we have to
• 10:28
  do different. We have to speak different, we must show up different.
• 10:31
  We have to challenge ourselves in new ways so that we can have new outcomes
• 10:37
  and new experiences. And that's what spring is all about. This is your
• 10:43
  chance to spring forward, to catapult into a new season. You're not gonna
• 10:48
  do that, I promise you. If you're sitting on the sidelines watching everybody
• 10:52
  else do it, you got to join in. You've got to participate,
• 10:56
  you've got to sign up. One of the things that we did, going
• 11:00
  back to my boot camp, I joined a group so that we can as
• 11:03
  a group as a unit generate the type of results that we need to win
• 11:09
  at the end of the six weeks. Now I have not just the community
• 11:13
  of the people at this gym, which by the way, is the place
• 11:16
  is just love, its joy, its promise, its success. It's people
• 11:24
  driving towards the same thing. It is resilience and perseverance. To hear the
• 11:28
  stories of people life changing right, people getting off medication and going back and
• 11:35
  getting new results from their doctor because of the work that they're doing, because
• 11:41
  they chose to do a hard thing. They decided it was time for transformation.
• 11:48
  They decided it was time for springing forward. And I want us to
• 11:54
  think about this season differently. It's not just about spring cleaning the house.
• 11:58
  It's also about cleaning the mind. What are the thoughts that are no longer
• 12:03
  serving you? It's time to let those go. And might I add,
• 12:11
  might I add that while you're letting go of some things. This was a
• 12:16
  rule that I put forward for myself, and I've followed it pretty good.
• 12:20
  I have a friend that is she's kind of a if it's not working anymore,
• 12:26
  it's going a good will. You know. She doesn't waste time,
• 12:28
  she doesn't wait to replace it. I'm one of those people. I'm a
• 12:31
  little bit different. I get rid of it once I can replace it.
• 12:35
  But she's like, listen, it's not serving me, it's not serving my
• 12:37
  home anymore. I'm giving it away. And however you do it right.
• 12:41
  I think we need to think about those thoughts, those old ideologies, the
• 12:48
  old conversations. Maybe some of the old folks. And I'm not talking about
• 12:52
  old folks. I'm talking about some of the people that you've just carried from
• 12:54
  season to season and honestly not adding any value to where you're going, what
• 13:00
  you're doing. And guess what, some people can't go where you are destined
• 13:05
  to go, where you are destined to be. And it's because of the
• 13:11
  conversations, it's because of the mindset. A lot of people are going to
• 13:16
  go in on Monday talking about the Mondays talking about how they lost the hour.
• 13:20
  It's one hour. If we prepared on Saturday, we can do a
• 13:26
  lot of those one hour activities so that on Sunday it's not a hard thing,
• 13:31
  it's not a new thing. So that's my challenge to you this week.
• 13:35
  I want you to shift your mindset about what you will do with your
• 13:39
  time. As you spring forward into your new thing, your next thing,
• 13:46
  your best thing. I hope you enjoyed this week's episode of the Urine Retsup
