  Speaker 1: Are you in a season of start over? I've been there.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It is such a hard place to be in because
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you often think about where you should have been as
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: opposed to where you currently are, and it's almost like
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you're stuck in the future, if that makes sense, as
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: opposed to being present in the now. And I know
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of times we say that the past robs
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: us of our present and even sometimes our future. But
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes I would say that the future robs you of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: your future because you're so focused on where you're supposed
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to be that you're not recognizing where you are, where
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you've landed. Because if you know where you've landed, you
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: can look at your surroundings, get familiar, recognize what it
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: is that you need to do from this point to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: get to the next point, as opposed to looking backward
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: or looking so far ahead that it feels overwhelming and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: almost like impossible. So if you are in a season
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of start over, here's what I will tell you. Yes,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you are in a tough spot, but you know what's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: tougher never starting, never making the move, never taking the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: step forward. I'm gonna encourage you today to keep moving forward,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: keep taking those steps, build a momentum so you can
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: get to your destination. Hello, my friends from all across
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the globe, and welcome to Your Enriched Self Podcast. I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: am your host, Mylene Noir. I am an emotional wellness
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and empowerment coach. And all that means is that if
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you are going to become more of your enriched self,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you need to have healthy thoughts and everything in your life,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: every place you're going to go starts with a thought.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts will inspire the words that you speak, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: those words will then become the action and the activity
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that you take each and every day to move in
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the direction of becoming more enriched. And so that's the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: kind of conversations that we have here on this podcast,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of mindset fusion conversations to make sure you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: are inspired and engage each and every day to becoming
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: more of your enriched self. So, if you are new here,
• 2:43

  Speaker 1: you for being here. And I believe that you are
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: brought here on purpose for a purpose. Now, if you

  Speaker 1: are a repeat listener, my rider dies who have been
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: here since episode one, we are now on episode one
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two, and I could not have done
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it without each and every one of you. You're tuning in,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you're tapping in, You're making sure that you are locked
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: into this community of becoming more enriched. So one of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the things that I do before we get started with
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: this week's episode is I make a deposit into the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: bank of you, and I do that by way of affirmations.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Affirmations are a great way to start your day and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to command your mourning. And this week's affirmation is I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: embrace my best self today. I embrace my best self today.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I embrace my best self today. Now let's get ready
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: for this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self Podcast.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It has been such an exciting month, and I will
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: definitely say a week. Over the past several months, I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: have watched people in my life make some transformative changes,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and it started with a decision. I cannot stress to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you the importance of the decisions you make, and I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: know sometimes we focus on the poor decisions, but today
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I want to empower you with making decisions work for you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And how you do that is you start. I know
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: everybody wants to get deep and give you all these
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: talk tracks and points and areas of interest and things
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you must go and things you must do. But I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: going to simplify your decision as start. Start. That is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: probably the hardest step that so many of you, so
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: many of us, have had to take in this life's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: journey and will have to take. That first step is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: tough because there's a lot of unknowns with the first step.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You don't know what's going to happen and when it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: going to happen, or sometimes how it's going to happen
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: because oftentimes you've never done that thing before, so your
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: evidence has not yet yet manifested, and so that becomes
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a challenge. And because you cannot fathom, because you can't
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: vision for yourself, how it's going to get done, or
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: when it cripples, it immobilizes you, and so that start
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: never happens. So today I want to encourage you on
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: this road of life, on this journey in your life,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that you are one decision away. And here's a few
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: things I want to bring forward that often we don't
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: talk about. One of the things that I have recognized
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: over the years is that a start, or the day
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: one of it all never gets the light day one
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is almost like an afterthought. No one thinks about day
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: one because it's just day one. What's the big deal.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It's a big deal, hear me. It's a big deal
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: for you to have your day one. Don't let anybody
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: else tell you otherwise. I'm telling you that day one
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: is important, so important. I'm gonna say, celebrate that decision.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I know, we want to celebrate the destination. And when
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you get there, my gosh, that's gonna be great when
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you get the confetti falling, when you get to the stage.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: When you get there, yes, celebrate. But I say celebrate
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: day one. That is where transformation begins. It's the beginning stages.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's that metamorphosis, right. It is how the results begin
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to show up. The results aren't gonna show up if
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you keep thinking about it. It's gonna require you to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: have that step. That decision is that step. People downplay
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: how much courage it takes to say I'm ready. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: literally am watching some people in my life finally say
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they're ready to do some things, even in a season
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: when things weren't perfect. Again, think about it. A lot
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of times we don't make these decisions, or we don't
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: do the day one, or we don't make that decision
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: now because we're financially not ready, we're mentally not ready,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: we're this not ready. There's so many reasons of not
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: being ready. And so when someone finally says I'm ready,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that's a moment that is absolutely something to celebrate. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I'll say, don't wait for the proof. Don't wait for
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the proof that this is the right thing and I'm
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in the right direction. Your proof is in your pivot.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: The fact that you got that step, that you made
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that decision and you took that first step, that is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the proof. That is the proof that there is greatness
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in the making. The other point I will say is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: your day one is your mindset. I know we want
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to think one, two, three, four five, you know, forty
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: days forty five days out. We do like to keep
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: things on a linear track. Your mindset is that place
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: where everything kind of incubates. As I mentioned and talk
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: about on this podcast, everything starts in the mind. So
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: day one is a mindset. It's not just the calendar
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of events and the milestones and all the things that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: need to happen for you to get the evidence. It
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: is knowing that it's not a date, your momentum. Business
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: process is gonna be built by you starting and showing
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: up and getting that next step and showing up and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: deciding to go do thing and show up and ask
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the question that you don't want to ask, and show
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: up and be vulnerable in the moment and show up.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It's going to be that constant moment after moment of
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you showing up. Here's what I'm going to tell you.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: This is something that I encourage you to do. I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: want you, whatever your day one is, to document it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Document your day one, the decision you made. You can
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: journal it, you can share it in a voice note,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you can put it on social media. However you want
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to record this moment in time. What it will do
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: is help you to build accountability and it is a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: phenomenal reflection point. I have a friend right now who
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: is getting ready to do a fitness challenge. She's getting
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: ready to do something different for her fitness journey, and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: one of the first things I told her to do
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: is to take a photo of her current self. And
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I remember our time in my life. I didn't like
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: taking photos of myself. I didn't like people taking photos
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of me so much so I would become the photographer
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in every situation, and what does that mean. That means
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that if I'm taking the pictures, I'm not in the pictures.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So I found a way around that. And so there's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a point in my life where I don't have pictures
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of me because I did that so well and I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: took really good pictures. I might add, but the point
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is document the moment, document the process, document the day
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: one It will serve as a phenomenal point of reflection.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And the last thing I want to talk about when
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it comes to you are one decision away, is that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: your decisions create a ripple effect. Yes, your decisions will
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: have a result. They will have a for some people,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a lasting result, a long term result, a significant result,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: all the things. But it creates ripples. It's going to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: change how you show up going forward. So it's going
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to give you those results, the numbers, the things that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you can quantify. We love to quantify things, but I'm
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: talking about the intangible things. The impact and the influence
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you now have on someone else to go do something
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that they weren't even thinking about, that they weren't previously
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: inspired to do. You have now just created a ripple
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that's significant, and I know that's not measured. I know
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that's not what culture celebrates because those things don't matter.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Those things can't be quantified. Those things are not somewhere
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: as a Guinness book or what have you. But those
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: are the things that in the end are going to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: continue to be the gift that you are giving, even
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: though you're not part of it. You're gonna help somebody,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: You're gonna inspire somebody. You are going to be that
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: momentum builder. And that is something to make your heart smile.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: It certainly is making mind smile. I want to remind
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you in all of this that on this journey of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: your decision, right you hear people say you've got to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: live with the decisions that you make. Oftentimes the decisions
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: aren't perfect. There are going to be pitfalls and challenges
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that come along with the decision. It doesn't mean the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: decision is bad. It just means that in life, life
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: is gonna happen, and the challenges are gonna come knocking.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: And sometimes they're not not even courtesy. They don't even
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: have the courtesy enough to knock. They just bolt and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: boldos their way into your life. And I just want
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to paint the picture that It doesn't mean that staying
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: on track with the decision that everything's gonna be perfect.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: It means that that decision day, whatever emotions you were
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: engaging to finally say I'm ready, I want you to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: go back to that motion, the energy in motion, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I want you to recommit to your decision day. Recommit
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to that. This reminds me of years ago when I
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: was a hiring manager. So I was a store manager
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: in a retail store, and so at the time, we
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: were not just store managers. We were hiring managers, we
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: were hr we were doing all the things. Over time
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that has changed, that changed, But in that season, I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: remember interviewing people and eventually hiring these individuals, and I
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: remember how they were in the interview. I often attached
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the things that were said to the person that ended
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: up showing up and working in that store, and when
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: they were feeling distraught, when they were feeling like things
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: weren't perfect, we were in sales, so things are never
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: perfect in sales, right. It may be perfect for a moment,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: but it's never perfect. And I would always remind them
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: of what they said on that decision day, what they
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: said in that interview when they wanted that opportunity, they
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: wanted to be in that role. I would remind them
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of what they committed to and ask them to recommit
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to that. And so I'm asking you to recommit to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: your day one. Recommit to your decision day, and don't
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: just do it one time. It's going to be an
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: exercise that you do daily. I hope you enjoyed this
