129. Create Your Roadmap · Your Enriched Self

• 0:00
  This is your reminder to spend time alone. There's something really magical and significant
• 0:08
  and rejuvenating that happens when you just plug into you. And this is one
• 0:15
  of the reasons why I miss the summer months where I can not just spend
• 0:20
  time alone, but spend time alone outdoors, which is one of my favorite
• 0:24
  places to be plugged into me, not be confined by four walls, not
• 0:31
  be in proximity to people having easy access to me. This is such an
• 0:39
  important time, this alone time. And if you've never done this, or
• 0:45
  you're not in the practice or habit of doing this, it can feel awkward.
• 0:49
  But I promise you, over time, you are going to appreciate this
• 0:55
  quality time, this quality self talk, this nurturing environment that you are creating
• 1:00
  for yourself. So again I'm reminding you today to find time to make time
• 1:10
  to spend time alone. Friends from all across the globe and welcome to the
• 1:26
  Urine Rich Self Podcast. I am your host, Mylene Noir. I am
• 1:30
  a mindset coach and your mindset advocate, And what I do each and every
• 1:37
  week is I create this environment, this safe space for you to do the
• 1:42
  things you must do to be more of your enrich Self. So we talk
• 1:46
  about self care topics, soul care topics, and I want you to start
• 1:52
  to be intentional about your thinking because we know that your thoughts inspire your words,
• 1:57
  and those words lead to to your action and the activity, and that's
• 2:02
  how you show up in the world. And I know if you're listening,
• 2:07
  you want to be the best version of yourself. And it's going to start
• 2:09
  with doing this work. And so each week I help you facilitate the conversation
• 2:15
  and we walk it out and we talk it out as we go through the
• 2:19
  multitude of mindset fusion topics to help us get there. Because at the end
• 2:24
  of all of this, I just want you to live a more enriched life,
• 2:29
  and it starts with being more of your in rich self. I want
• 2:32
  to welcome you to the podcast. If this is your first time here,
• 2:37
  if this is your first stop at the Your Enriched Self Podcast, I want
• 2:40
  to thank you for being here. And if you are a repeat listener,
• 2:44
  I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of
• 2:47
  the Your in rich Self family. We are standing on episode one hundred and
• 2:54
  twenty nine, so thank you for your listenership, participation and your commitment to
• 3:04
  being more enriched. Now, before we get started with this week's episode,
• 3:08
  if you know you know, one of the things that I do is I
• 3:14
  make a deposit in the bank of you, and I do so by way
• 3:21
  of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to start your day and to command
• 3:31
  your mourning. And this week's affirmation is I am responsible for my own happiness
• 3:42
  and fulfillment. I am responsible for my own happiness and fulfillment. I am
• 3:51
  responsible for my own happiness and fulfillment. Now, let's get ready for this
• 3:59
  week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast. The statement, the phrase the
• 4:08
  quote that happiness is an inside job would indicate that you would need to know
• 4:13
  that there is internal power that you can harness from to use to help cultivate
• 4:20
  your own happiness. And I really want you to embrace that today and embrace
• 4:28
  it every day because media today is telling you and as saturated with messaging messages
• 4:36
  telling you how to be happy, where to find happiness, and ultimately how
• 4:45
  to define happiness. And what's interesting is if you look around in media,
• 4:51
  I don't think you've ever seen an ad that tells you you harness the power
• 4:58
  you harness the tools and the resources, and it's all within you to be
• 5:04
  happy to find your happiness. Instead, it does quite the opposite. It
• 5:11
  tells you that your happiness is outside of you. It is in this unreachable
• 5:16
  place or this place that you can get to if you finance that car,
• 5:20
  this place that you can get to, if you finance that home, this
• 5:25
  place that you can get to if you go outside and look for external resources
• 5:30
  to go get the thing, to get the wealth, the material possessions,
• 5:34
  whatever it is. And I just want us to take a breath right now,
• 5:39
  because when we started exploring this season this year, what do you want?
• 5:46
  I think it's so critical that you spend time alone, just like I
• 5:50
  said at the top of the podcast, so that you can in fact identify
• 5:58
  the things that are valuable to you, identify the things that are important for
• 6:04
  how you want to live, not just today but in the future state because
• 6:10
  oftentimes the happiness in a bottle, or the lightning in a bottle, the
• 6:14
  quick fix to get to happiness is short lived, and then you find yourself
• 6:20
  going back out or listening again to messaging that would bring you back to another
• 6:27
  new, exciting, shiny object that defines happiness. And so it's interesting.
• 6:34
  The media is a good teacher too. One of the things that I just
• 6:39
  recently heard that was so interesting to me is this whole story about Tesla.
• 6:46
  So Tesla's been in the headlines, and it's a challenging story to talk about
• 6:48
  because for years, all you've heard about is the coveted Tesla vehicle. And
• 6:56
  I'm not knocking a Tesla down. I'm not saying it's a bad vehicle.
• 7:00
  I'm simply saying that for a long time, it was the definition. It
• 7:04
  was one of those external things for people, for you to define how you
• 7:10
  make yourself happy, and now we're hearing otherwise. And that's why it's so
• 7:15
  important on this quest, on this journey to know what you want and to
• 7:19
  define your happiness and find your happiness. You truly have to do it yourself.
• 7:25
  This cannot be some exercise that media that your favorite celebrity or whomever is
• 7:30
  helping you decide. It has to be your own work. And that's why
• 7:35
  we do this every single week, is so that you can get in your
• 7:40
  own space and occupy your own space and plug into you so that you can
• 7:45
  start making those intentional definitions of what's important and what will make you happy.
• 7:51
  And unfortunately, I'm watching this headline unfold and it's not pretty at all.
• 7:57
  It's centered around Chicago, so we know if you've lived in the Midwest like
• 8:01
  I have, and so in the Midwest it can be very treacherous during these
• 8:05
  cold winter months. And Chicago is absolutely living up to everything we've always heard
• 8:11
  about the Chicago area. And one of those things is that teslas are literally
• 8:16
  rotting in Chicago. And what I mean by that is for these electronic vehicles,
• 8:22
  particularly the teslas, whenever there are low tempts like they are now.
• 8:26
  I mean it is winter, after all, the batteries tend to work harder,
• 8:33
  they work in overtime just to simply get regulated right. And as the
• 8:37
  story goes, as these temps drops, the distance or the range in which
• 8:43
  these teslas can travel start to shorten. Now that's difficult when you're traveling to
• 8:48
  work and you're running errands, and you're doing all of the life things that
• 8:52
  you're required to do, whether it's during the weekday or on the weekend,
• 8:56
  and so that makes it difficult to do things. So now you have to
• 9:00
  get to a charging station, a charging area, and oftentimes a car can't
• 9:07
  even make it to the charging area simply because of the cold attempts. So
• 9:11
  now you have to call a tow trunk and get toad to these charging stations.
• 9:16
  And then when you get to the charging stations, you only learn that
• 9:20
  there are multitudes of other Tesla owners that are out there waiting to charge their
• 9:26
  vehicles. Oh and by the way, what normally would be a forty five
• 9:31
  minute charging time is now up to two hours and beyond. And so you
• 9:37
  see how this becomes a nightmare and why there are literally Tesla's rotting in Chicago.
• 9:45
  And again, when you look at happiness on the surface, it looks
• 9:48
  great, this car has everything. But maybe you're not in the right region
• 9:54
  for that car. Maybe people in the Midwest shouldn't ownas Tesla's were born in
• 10:03
  Silicon Valley, they were born out west. They were not born in a
• 10:07
  climate that is conducive to the activity that it can't perform. At the best
• 10:13
  possible way to keep these vehicles productive and keep customers of Tesla's happy, perhaps
• 10:22
  customers that own Tesla's should have a garage so that the battery for the car
• 10:28
  won't be exposed to some of the low tempts that we see in some of
• 10:31
  these Midwestern states. So as we start looking beyond the surface of what the
• 10:37
  media has told us happiness is or where we can find it in this vehicle,
• 10:43
  in this house, in this whatever, we're quickly watching these things unravel.
• 10:50
  And if you're not careful. That's why it's important not to use media
• 10:54
  as a barometer for what you need to do. But it's a way for
• 10:56
  you to learn about what's happening, because I know these owners of these vehicles
• 11:01
  had no idea. I mean, some of the stories are absolutely atrocious.
• 11:07
  And to watch these vehicles. I don't know if you've seen some of the
• 11:11
  visuals that go along with the story, but it's really sad to watch these
• 11:16
  people who have spent thousands of dollars on these vehicles. So you go through
• 11:20
  the whole process of getting something that you really desired, what may have been
• 11:28
  at the time, your happiness button, you finally get it, and now
• 11:31
  here you are in this predicament, in this situation. And oh, by
• 11:37
  the way, what is Tesla doing about this? They're not responding to these
• 11:39
  customers. At least the last time I checked, they hadn't made a response
• 11:43
  to these customers and some of the other brands who are and have been thinking
• 11:50
  about electronic vehicles are starting to walk back a little bit because they're learning from
• 11:54
  this. They're learning, in fact, that this is not the definition of
• 12:00
  productivity. This is not the definition of what customers or the consumer would deem
• 12:05
  a product that they want to stand behind. And I want you to be
• 12:09
  able to stand behind what you're doing in twenty twenty four. I want you
• 12:13
  to be confident about what you're doing, and that's critical to knowing what you
• 12:18
  want. Einstein has a quote that says, what's right isn't always popular,
• 12:24
  and what's popular isn't always right, and so it's important for you to know
• 12:30
  what's right for you because what's popular hasn't quite worked out to being the right
• 12:39
  thing for everybody. Again, it could simply be that if I live in
• 12:43
  a certain region, this is not the right thing for me, and it
• 12:48
  may not be the right thing for me right now. It's not being a
• 12:54
  fund snatcher, it's not taking away your happiness. It's being intention about what's
• 13:01
  right for you, and thinking about what you want is not just a question
• 13:07
  we talked about last week. It's really a question you should be asking yourself
• 13:13
  every single day because it helps you stay aligned with your values. It helps
• 13:20
  you stay aligned with the goals that you are marching towards in this year.
• 13:26
  If you constantly are asking yourself that question, you're reminding yourself of what the
• 13:33
  answer is. And if the answer changes from day to day, that means
• 13:37
  you're still struggling with that. But if you're able to answer that question with
• 13:43
  clarity and consistency, then you're going to not have the challenges that so many
• 13:50
  people have, which are the distractions, the new shiny thing that has come
• 13:56
  out that now says, you know what, this is the thing you need
• 14:01
  to go after. It's time to break free from these societal norms, these
• 14:07
  things that have been helping you identify your happiness. You can start creating your
• 14:15
  own blueprint, your own personalized roadmap of fulfillment and see, in fact,
• 14:24
  how does that align with your values, your aspirations, your goals for this
• 14:28
  year. And if it does, great, keep at it. But if
• 14:33
  it doesn't, it's not what's right for you. And sometimes it's okay to
• 14:41
  go against the popular vote, it's okay to choose you. I want you
• 14:50
  to harness the internal power you have to create, to define, and to
• 14:58
  start living by your own terms. I hope you enjoyed this week's episode of
