Latest / Your Enriched Self / 196. The Truth at Forty Feet
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am on a mission to conquer every limiting belief.
- 0:05Speaker 1: I know that sounds like a big deal, but there's
- 0:08Speaker 1: so many limiting beliefs that we have placed on ourselves.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Society have placed on us, friends and family have praised
- 0:16Speaker 1: on us, and we have accepted these limiting beliefs. We
- 0:20Speaker 1: have accepted these as our truths. We have in essence
- 0:24Speaker 1: created labels around who we are and what we can
- 0:28Speaker 1: do and what we shouldn't do and why we shouldn't
- 0:31Speaker 1: do it. And so that's why today I'm making it
- 0:35Speaker 1: my mission for the rest of my life to come
- 0:37Speaker 1: for every limiting belief that I've placed on myself, any
- 0:42Speaker 1: that has been placed upon me. It's time to let go,
- 0:47Speaker 1: to be free of these things that have closed our hearts,
- 0:52Speaker 1: our minds, our thoughts to the greatest version of ourselves.
- 0:57Speaker 1: And it starts from the inside out. Hello, my friends
- 1:18Speaker 1: from all across the globe, and welcome to your Enriched
- 1:22Speaker 1: Self podcast. I am your host, Mylen Noir. I am
- 1:27Speaker 1: an emotional wellness and empowerment coach. And what that means
- 1:31Speaker 1: is I want you to walk into this world, walk
- 1:34Speaker 1: into your next setting, knowing that you can be your
- 1:39Speaker 1: best self and that's gonna start with your internal work.
- 1:44Speaker 1: That's going to start with the thoughts that are literally
- 1:50Speaker 1: the foundation to everything that you are living, everywhere that
- 1:54Speaker 1: you will be going, and what you see for your future.
- 2:00Speaker 1: It starts with that thought, that one thought, and those
- 2:03Speaker 1: thoughts inspire your words. Those words then become what will
- 2:09Speaker 1: be the actions you take as you walk into the world,
- 2:12Speaker 1: as you explore this life, this full gift of life
- 2:16Speaker 1: that you have. And so if you want to explore
- 2:19Speaker 1: it fully and completely, it starts with your thoughts. And
- 2:22Speaker 1: so that's what this podcast is all about. That's why
- 2:25Speaker 1: I created this platform to cultivate the thoughts, to take
- 2:30Speaker 1: you to the spaces, to take you on the path
- 2:33Speaker 1: that's going to allow you to become more of your
- 2:36Speaker 1: enriched self. And so if you're listening to this podcast,
- 2:40Speaker 1: I believe that you are brought here on purpose for
- 2:42Speaker 1: a purpose, and if you are a repeat listener, that
- 2:46Speaker 1: means you have been with me. You have been on
- 2:48Speaker 1: this journey of becoming more enriched for one hundred and
- 2:52Speaker 1: ninety six weeks. That's impressive. It's impressive that you are
- 2:57Speaker 1: taking steps and you are showing up for yourself and
- 3:00Speaker 1: consequently you are showing up on this podcast, and you're
- 3:03Speaker 1: helping this platform to stay alive. I want to thank
- 3:07Speaker 1: you for that from the bottom of my heart. Now,
- 3:11Speaker 1: if you know, you know, one of the things I
- 3:13Speaker 1: do on this podcast each and every week is I
- 3:16Speaker 1: make a deposit into the bank of you, and I
- 3:21Speaker 1: do that by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great
- 3:26Speaker 1: way to start your day and to command your mourning.
- 3:35Speaker 1: And this week's affirmation is I can conquer hard things.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I can conquer hard things. I can conquer hard things. Now,
- 3:51Speaker 1: let's get ready for this week's episode of the Your
- 3:55Speaker 1: Enriched Self podcast. You know, one of the great things
- 4:03Speaker 1: I enjoy about podcasting is being able to share my
- 4:06Speaker 1: life experiences with you, and this week is no different.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I had an opportunity over the last week to do
- 4:13Speaker 1: something so spectacular and I could not help but reflect
- 4:17Speaker 1: on the experience I had, and I want to make
- 4:21Speaker 1: sure that I share it with you because I think
- 4:22Speaker 1: we've all been there. There's a version of you, and
- 4:26Speaker 1: I know there was a version of me that used
- 4:28Speaker 1: to play very small. I believed in the old lie,
- 4:33Speaker 1: the old construct of what I heard people say about me,
- 4:37Speaker 1: and I adopted those things. Everything for me in that
- 4:41Speaker 1: version was dressed up in logic. It had to be logical,
- 4:45Speaker 1: it had to be you know, disguised and created in
- 4:48Speaker 1: a safety bubble. You know, I was constantly wearing this
- 4:52Speaker 1: mass about being real and keeping it real. But I
- 4:56Speaker 1: promise you as I think about it, you know, after
- 4:59Speaker 1: I stepped out of this recent experience, I realized that
- 5:02Speaker 1: that wasn't my truth. I had adopted what someone had
- 5:06Speaker 1: defined as who I was, and I made it me.
- 5:11Speaker 1: You see, the work of a lie, the lies that
- 5:15Speaker 1: we tell ourselves, the lies that have been told to us,
- 5:18Speaker 1: is to blur out and to bury the truth, and
- 5:21Speaker 1: to push it deeper and further away from you, where
- 5:24Speaker 1: it's so out of your reach you don't even know
- 5:27Speaker 1: where your truth begins and the lie ends, or vice versa.
- 5:32Speaker 1: And when you start having those internal conversations, what happens
- 5:37Speaker 1: is you don't confront the lie, and the truth just
- 5:41Speaker 1: gets very more and more and deeper and further, until
- 5:46Speaker 1: one day you are just living in this limited bubble
- 5:50Speaker 1: called your lie a lie. But this week my experience,
- 5:56Speaker 1: I had an opportunity to go on vacation. I unearthed
- 6:00Speaker 1: something that was buried deep within me. I actually unearthed
- 6:04Speaker 1: my truth, but I had allowed the years, the conversations,
- 6:11Speaker 1: the internal self talk to choke out my truth. I
- 6:18Speaker 1: made a simple decision. Now I was invited to a
- 6:22Speaker 1: birthday milestone vacation celebration, and it was epic. It was
- 6:29Speaker 1: nothing I expected and everything I could have ever imagined
- 6:33Speaker 1: for just a great experience. And I went to Panama,
- 6:38Speaker 1: first time ever been and it was a magical experience.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Like I said, and I would absolutely recommend anyone to
- 6:46Speaker 1: go to Panama. One of the things that the birthday
- 6:50Speaker 1: host did for this trip is she created a lot
- 6:54Speaker 1: of excursions for the really four days that we were
- 6:58Speaker 1: going to be there. It felt like we were doing
- 7:00Speaker 1: We had been there for over a week that entire
- 7:03Speaker 1: weekend of the trip, which started on a Thursday. It
- 7:07Speaker 1: was supposed to rain the entire weekend. So the first
- 7:10Speaker 1: night we get there, it's actually sunny, and we go
- 7:14Speaker 1: out to dinner and it's kind of dinner and an excursion,
- 7:18Speaker 1: and that excursion is ziplining. Yeah. I knew because the
- 7:24Speaker 1: itinerary had been created, you know, a month long work
- 7:28Speaker 1: of creating all of these experiences for us. And when
- 7:32Speaker 1: I saw ziplining, I knew I would do it now.
- 7:34Speaker 1: One of the things I didn't do was read closely
- 7:37Speaker 1: enough to learn that it was going to be a
- 7:39Speaker 1: forty foot zipline experience. But when I got there, I
- 7:44Speaker 1: knew I was going to do it. First of all,
- 7:47Speaker 1: I said I was going to do it before I
- 7:48Speaker 1: got there, and I knew I had to do it.
- 7:52Speaker 1: It was this internal thing where there was a version
- 7:56Speaker 1: of me that wouldn't even have the conviction, wouldn't have
- 7:59Speaker 1: the cohona, if you will, wouldn't be ready, and would
- 8:03Speaker 1: talk myself out of even doing it. And I almost
- 8:07Speaker 1: had to prove that lie about who I was, this
- 8:10Speaker 1: person that wouldn't take risk, that was risk averse that
- 8:14Speaker 1: you know, was fearful and was always, you know, disguising
- 8:17Speaker 1: everything in this ability to be safe and making sure
- 8:23Speaker 1: everything logically made sense. It had rained, so when we
- 8:28Speaker 1: got to the dinner slash excursion, we weren't able to
- 8:33Speaker 1: zipline because it had rained, and so we thought that
- 8:37Speaker 1: the opportunity to do something that cool had escaped. Now
- 8:41Speaker 1: there would be a version of me that would be
- 8:43Speaker 1: almost relieved because now I wouldn't have to do it.
- 8:46Speaker 1: But suddenly things cleared up and we were in a position,
- 8:51Speaker 1: a rightful position to zipline, and I know the version
- 8:57Speaker 1: of me that would say, you know, it's wet out side,
- 9:00Speaker 1: the lines are probably wet. There was a version of
- 9:03Speaker 1: me that would self talk me literally off the edge
- 9:07Speaker 1: and back into safety. And that voice was shut down.
- 9:12Speaker 1: That lie was snuffed because I did the thing that
- 9:19Speaker 1: I would never have done in a version of me
- 9:23Speaker 1: that I believed to be true. I did it. It
- 9:27Speaker 1: was different this time because every other time I had
- 9:30Speaker 1: done something that I didn't think I should be doing.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I had an apprehension, I had a level of nervousness.
- 9:40Speaker 1: But this time I didn't talk myself out of it.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I didn't self talk myself out of doing it. I
- 9:45Speaker 1: didn't fight for my limitations like I typically had done
- 9:49Speaker 1: in the past. This time I told myself, yeah, you're
- 9:52Speaker 1: doing it. I wanted to be present. I didn't want
- 9:56Speaker 1: to allow the logic to snuff out the color of
- 10:01Speaker 1: the situation. And that's what it does. Right when you
- 10:04Speaker 1: are doing all of the calculations of why this should
- 10:08Speaker 1: be and why that shouldn't be, all of the color
- 10:11Speaker 1: of life, the experience that you want to have turns
- 10:15Speaker 1: to black and white. It almost turns gray, and you
- 10:18Speaker 1: really don't get to see the color of life. So
- 10:23Speaker 1: I took the state the safety steps right. I got harnessed,
- 10:26Speaker 1: I got strapped in, and it was time to go.
- 10:29Speaker 1: It was go time, and we were walking up those
- 10:33Speaker 1: stairs up to the fortieth level, or the forty feet
- 10:38Speaker 1: high view of the ground below and a beautiful city view.
- 10:43Speaker 1: By this time, it was night time, so the daytime
- 10:46Speaker 1: excursion had turned into night and the view was completely different. Again,
- 10:50Speaker 1: something a version of me would say, why are you
- 10:52Speaker 1: doing this at night? It's probably more dangerous at night
- 10:55Speaker 1: fighting for those limitations, but the city line was breathtaking.
- 11:01Speaker 1: I could not not do this. I was too close
- 11:04Speaker 1: to doing the thing and living being and living large
- 11:08Speaker 1: and opening myself to something new. I allowed myself to
- 11:13Speaker 1: feel the excitement, the flutter, and that helped me to
- 11:18Speaker 1: wash out the limitations and finally see things in color.
- 11:24Speaker 1: I had spent so much of my life bleaching things
- 11:27Speaker 1: out to make it simple, to make it easy to
- 11:29Speaker 1: see everything, and not really experience the color, not get
- 11:35Speaker 1: to the space where I could see everything clearly. Everything
- 11:39Speaker 1: was always muted out with that gray. But things got
- 11:44Speaker 1: bold at night.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I got bold.
- 11:46Speaker 1: I got bold. I got excited to color outside the lines.
- 11:50Speaker 1: You know when you were growing up and your teacher said,
- 11:53Speaker 1: I need you to stay within the lines. I think
- 11:56Speaker 1: some of those limitations to stay in the box started
- 12:02Speaker 1: right there with those simple conversations. Again, these are well
- 12:05Speaker 1: meaning people who want us to be safe, who want
- 12:08Speaker 1: us to be secure, who want us to know the
- 12:12Speaker 1: end from the beginning, who want us to have that
- 12:14Speaker 1: logic mind. But that night, it was time for me
- 12:19Speaker 1: to color outside the lines, and nobody was gonna stop me.
- 12:22Speaker 1: The only person that was gonna stop me and fight
- 12:24Speaker 1: for the limitations would be me. This time, it wasn't
- 12:29Speaker 1: gonna happen.
- 12:32Speaker 2: So it was finally my turn.
- 12:33Speaker 1: It was a few of us that had stepped, you know,
- 12:35Speaker 1: walked up the steps up to the forty eight you
- 12:37Speaker 1: know feet height where we were going to zipline down.
- 12:42Speaker 1: I got my harness on. It almost felt like suspenders.
- 12:46Speaker 1: I was like, this doesn't feel as safe as I
- 12:48Speaker 1: thought it was. But again I had to fight those limitations.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I mean, it's literally a step by step thing. It's
- 12:54Speaker 1: not like a one and done, like you're constantly reminding
- 12:57Speaker 1: yourself that you can do it and you should do
- 13:00Speaker 1: it and why not do it? So then I got
- 13:04Speaker 1: clipped in on the line and it was it was
- 13:07Speaker 1: time for me to go. That was my final moment
- 13:10Speaker 1: before I let go, before I let go, and I
- 13:15Speaker 1: did let go, and I promise you even now, I
- 13:20Speaker 1: feel those feels all over again. I let go of
- 13:24Speaker 1: the old fears, I let go of those tired doubts.
- 13:31Speaker 1: I closed my eyes and I open up to color.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I let go of the lie. I embraced my truth
- 13:39Speaker 1: at forty feet high, and it felt good. I can
- 13:45Speaker 1: conquer hard things. I can challenge myself. I can shift
- 13:51Speaker 1: my paradigm and I did that. I did that. There's
- 13:59Speaker 1: a video of me, and I love it because I
- 14:02Speaker 1: did it so much that my whole body was invested
- 14:05Speaker 1: in this thing. And I started kicking my feet out.
- 14:09Speaker 1: The wind is rushing past me. It was literally cinematic.
- 14:12Speaker 2: People.
- 14:13Speaker 1: My heart opened up and I was able to take
- 14:17Speaker 1: in a view something I typically would not get to
- 14:20Speaker 1: see at that level. It felt real, It felt good,
- 14:26Speaker 1: and it was a pretty fast landing.
- 14:30Speaker 2: How we landed.
- 14:32Speaker 1: We were going at a pretty fast velocity and we stopped.
- 14:36Speaker 1: It was like almost an abrupt stop, but it really
- 14:41Speaker 1: was a pause because I was able to now take
- 14:44Speaker 1: a breath and realize I didn't have to look over
- 14:50Speaker 1: my shoulders and regret. I didn't have to see this
- 14:54Speaker 1: bleached out view of life. I now can see the color.
- 15:00Speaker 1: And I got to thank this version of me. Thank
- 15:03Speaker 1: you my Lean twenty twenty five and all of the
- 15:08Speaker 1: mindset work and all of the enriched choices that I've
- 15:13Speaker 1: been making over time to get to this version. I
- 15:18Speaker 1: promise it doesn't happen overnight. Every walk up that staircase,
- 15:23Speaker 1: to get to that level, to get in that harness,
- 15:27Speaker 1: to get on that line, I had to remind myself
- 15:32Speaker 1: that I can conquer the thing. I had to remind
- 15:36Speaker 1: myself of my truth. I had to be intentional about
- 15:39Speaker 1: unearthing my truth and letting the lie go. I was
- 15:46Speaker 1: willing to take the climb. I was willing to leap.
- 15:49Speaker 1: I was willing to live my truth from forty feet up.
- 15:56Speaker 1: And I'm gonna encourage you whatever it is that you
- 16:01Speaker 1: are looking to take on, don't limit that challenge, challenge
- 16:12Speaker 1: that limit. I hope you enjoyed this week's episode of
