  Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe, and welcome
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to the Urine Retail Podcast. I am your host, Smiley Noir.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach. And what
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: does that mean. That means that your world, especially now,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: even now, you're probably busy and moving faster than you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: can keep up with your thoughts. And so this podcast,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this space, this platform is designed, is curated so that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: we can explore and spend time intentionally talking through and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: thinking through your thoughts. Because where else are you doing this?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: At work? Are you spending time thinking about your thoughts
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: with your family, with your kids, with the people that
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: are tugging at you a need every bit of you. No,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you're not. So that's why we do it here with
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: intention because your thoughts eventually becomes the words that you speak,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and those words become the action and the activity that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you take in your life. And if you are listening
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to this podcast, I know that you want to show
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: up in life as the best version of yourself. And
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: it starts with your thinking. It starts with your thoughts.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It starts with managing those thoughts so that the best
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: version of you can be there, so you can become
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: more of your enriched self. So if you're new to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: this podcast, I want to thank you for being here.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I know that you were brought here on purpose, for
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a purpose. If you are a repeat listener, if you've
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: been listening to this podcast, We've been at this for
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the last four years, and I'm so grateful for each
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and every one of you. Because of you, because of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: your share and your liking, your commenting, we are here
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: today and I am so grateful for each and everyone
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of you. Now, before we get on with this week's episode,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: if you know you know, one of the things I
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: do each and every week is I make a deposit
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: into the bank of you. And I do that by
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to start
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: your day and to command your mourning. And this week's
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: affirmation is I honor myself by disconnecting from what drains
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: me and reconnecting to what restores me. I honor myself
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: by disconnecting from what drains me and reconnecting with what
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: restores me. I honor myself by disconnecting from what drains
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: me and reconnecting with what restores me. Now, let's get
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: ready for this week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I was driving from work the other day and something
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: caught my eye as I glanced across, and I saw
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a sign that read simply disconnect to reconnect, And I thought, immediately,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: what does that mean to me? I want to know
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: what it means to you when you hear disconnect and reconnect.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: What does that bring up in your spirit? What habit
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is that challenging right now as you think about it,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: What is it whispering to you about what you need
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to disconnect to reconnect? In some instances, it might mean
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: for you that you need to unplug, you need to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: get off social media, you need to do a digital detox,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. There's so many different names for it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You need to close down, shut down all the digital noise.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: For some others of you, it may mean that you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: have been people pleasing, You have been putting on your
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: tap and shoes and doing the dance for everybody, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it's time to disconnect from that. It's time to disconnect
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: from the constant running about and busyness which tends to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: happen this time of year, where you just feel like
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: after work or after or on the weekend, I gotta
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: go do this, and I gotta go do that, and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that needs to be unplugged. It's time to step back,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: step away from the world, and step back into yourself
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: so you can get the clarity, the calmness that you
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: need so many of you need to get your mind,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: your spirit in alignment with to be conscious of your
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: calm and to be clear about what you need to do,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: where you need to go, how you need to do it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You can't get there if you're constantly connected. So the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: real question is, now that you've heard about the concept
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of disconnect to reconnect, what will you do about it?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Where do you need to disconnect so that you can
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: reconnect with your life's purpose, with your peace, and maybe
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: even with people. So that's what I want to talk
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: about today. I want to talk about how we can
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: walk away from this episode with what needs to be done,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: What you need to think about and talk about and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: walk through right now once this podcast is over, What
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: do you need to do so that you can disconnect
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: from the noise and reconnect with clarity. Listen, we all
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: have been played and bombarded and literally buldozed with distractions.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: In this twenty twenty five there has been so much
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I believe I don't have statistics. I like to bring
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: statistics in situations like this, just so you can see
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the volume and the multitude of conversations and insights and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: information and data points and changes that have happened in
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and in sometimes in some cases it
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: all happened in a day. In a day, the social
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: media churning the information over the comparison that you're using
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to measure yourself. The constant consumption of information, like I said,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: coming in so much so that your own thoughts are
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: drowned out, your desires. You can't even find out what
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it is you like versus what it is culture likes,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and your direction blurred. I woke up the other morning
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and it was so heavy with fog it was difficult
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to see in some spaces as I was driving along
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: where I was headed or what was ahead of me.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And that's what's happening. So your job from hearing this
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is to disconnect from the noise so that you can
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: reconnect with clarity, so that when you start driving forward,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the fog is lifted, the confusion starts to dissipate because
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you get to see things clearly. You stop the crazy
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: comparison cycle that has kept you bound and pushed away
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: from your purpose. The second thing is disconnect from the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: obligations so you can reconnect with priorities. The truth is,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and let me hold your hand when I say this
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to you, The truth is everything that's demanding your attention. Yeah,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the things that are demanding your attention. Even now, some
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of those things don't deserve your attention. And what you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: have done is you have turned your face forward into
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the direction of the loud, the shiny object, the thing
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that's blaring, only to realize it's none in your business.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: It's not in your wheelhouse, it's not in your square,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: it's not in your lane. But somehow you end up
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in that position. So what I want you to do
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is to pause, reevaluate, and make a conscious effort to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: release the things that are draining you so that you
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: can return to the things that matter. You can return
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to yourself. You can get back to prior prioritizing the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: things in your life that matter to you most, not
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: what matters to the other person, not what's emergent for
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: someone else, not what makes someone else happy. Although that's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a great thing to do, that's not your mission. That's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: not your priority to make someone else happy, to solve
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: someone else's issues. You need to come back to aligning
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: yourself with your priorities. And finally, I said this before,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: disconnect from the autopilot so that you can reconnect with intentionality.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the busyness before, and I've been there before,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: where I'm so busy that I'm not present anymore. Have
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you ever been in a position like that where you're
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: so busy that you're not present you can't even recall
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: what just took place. This is where the jack of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: all trades becomes the master of none. That's where that's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: saying is birth. It's birth from a place of being
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: so busy doing all the things that you're not even
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: present in your own skin, in your own thoughts. It's
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: time to choose presence. It's time to choose pause. Today
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is a day you choose to be awake in your
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: life again. And it starts now. When we talk about
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: things on this podcast, it's not for something. It's not
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: something for you to go off and try and figure
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: out what to do. It's a now moment. I want
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you to see and hear what I'm saying on this platform,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: not as things that you need to go figure out,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you need to show up. Choose your presence. Choose to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: be present now, Choose to hit pause so that you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: can focus on your cause, and choose to be present
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: in this life, to be awake in your space, in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: your life. I've been there before, and I can tell
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you I lost the moment. I was in the moment,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: but I lost it because I was an autopilot. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: was just allowing myself to be there without having to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: intentionally be there. And you lose moments, and you lose memories,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and you lose so much more than that. This is
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: not how we are planning or moving into a new year,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: or even moving into a new day, a new hour,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a new week. We are doing it with intention, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: we are moving with intention. I'm grateful for that sign.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Had it not been for that sign, I wouldn't be
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: thinking about this conversation. To disconnect so that you can reconnect,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: It's just like taking a vacation. It's important to get
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: away from the every day, the things that drain your
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: energy and get to what's real, what's important. Appreciating the sunrise,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: appreciating nature, spending time enjoying your morning cup, of coffee.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Those are the things I remember from my last vacation. Is. Yes,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the excursions and the new places to dine and all
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of the things. Yes, it's part of that disconnecting from
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: my day to day. But the things that I remember
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the most is watching the local people just walk through
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: their day to day life, enjoying a sunrise and a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: sunset on this beautiful island, grabbing a cup of coffee
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: with my company, with my sister, and just enjoying each
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: other's company, not in a rush, not having to go
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to work, not having to clock in, not having to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: return a phone call or email, but just enjoying that cup,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: those beautiful moments. Is now your invitation to reflect on
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: where you need to pause in your life, how and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: when you should unplug so that you can step back
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: in order to reconnect, so that you can experience the clarity,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the intention, and the peace that you have been seeking.
