1
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: What Up. Guys. Welcome to twenty twenty six and your

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: favorite podcast. Thank you for tuning in to Cheeky's and

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: Chill and choosing this podcast to start your year. And

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: since it's all about the new year and this new

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: fresh start, I wanted to start off with affirmations. I

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: want to share with you guys, some affirmations that have

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: helped me throughout my life in certain areas like finances, health,

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. So let's get right into it,

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: because this is the perfect way to start our new year. Okay,

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: let's start off by explaining what affirmations are. So, affirmations

11
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: are not just words, okay. They are tools for rewiring

12
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: our belief, calming the nervous system okay, and bringing our thoughts, emotions,

13
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: and actions into alignment. I've heard people say that affirmations

14
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: are just a fluff and that they don't work. I

15
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: am here to tell you that if you do them

16
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: with intention and consistency and with a lot of faith

17
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: behind affirmations, they work. And I am telling you because

18
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: they have helped me tremendously. I started with affirmations in

19
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, okay, and I would write down

20
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: my affirmations and actually have to do this a little

21
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: bit more now. I used to write them on my

22
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: mirror in my restroom, in my room if I had

23
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: like a big body mirror, so I would write all

24
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: over them with washable erasers, and I would just Sometimes

25
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: it would be like sentences like, for instance, I am

26
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: love and I am light. Okay, as simple as that, yea,

27
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: just as a reminder something. It's kind of like a

28
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: vision board, right, sometimes that would just right be consistent

29
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: or Trust was a huge one for me. I had

30
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: trust on my bathroom mirror forever, so as I was

31
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: brushing my teeth in the morning, I wouldn't necessarily say

32
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: them out loud, but of course I'm brushing my teeth,

33
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: and I would just recite them in my mind. I'm like, okay,

34
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: yes to kind of just start my day. And I

35
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: stopped doing that for a while and now I just

36
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: write them down like in my journal. But anyway, affirmations

37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: have helped me a lot. So there are people that

38
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: are skeptic and don't really believe in affirmations, and that's okay,

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: because if you don't believe in them, they're not going

40
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: to work for you. So this is something that maybe

41
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: now that it's a new year and perhaps you haven't

42
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: tried it before. Now with the tools that I'm going

43
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: to give you, or the things that have worked for

44
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: me will hopefully work for you and you can try it. Okay,

45
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: you can't knock it until you try it, guys. So

46
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: with that being said, let's talk about why affirmations work. Okay,

47
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: So our brains are always listening, always repeated thoughts become beliefs. Okay,

48
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: believes influence behavior and behavior shapes our reality. So affirmations

49
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: interrupt the old mental patterns and create new supportive ones. Okay,

50
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: They're not magic. They are mental and emotional training. So

51
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: that's what affirmations are. Now, how to practice affirmations the

52
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: right way? I said earlier? Being consistent. Everything in our

53
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: life guys is consistency. If you want to lose weight,

54
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: you got to consistently eat healthier, exercise, etc. Just being consistent.

55
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: You want your skin to look better, well, you got

56
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: to wash your face consistantly every night, you have to

57
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: use your beauty products. Like anything in life is for me,

58
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: and what has worked for me is dedication, regimen, and consistency.

59
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: So this is not just something Oh, I'm going to

60
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: do one time and poof, everything's going to be better.

61
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. It goes hand in hand

62
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: with the law of attraction. The more you say it,

63
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: the more you believe it, it becomes a reality. Like

64
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: you really start just training your mind and your emotions

65
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: to really step and level up in whatever area. So

66
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to focus on affirmations for health, finances, love,

67
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: et cetera. So I wrote down a few that have

68
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: worked for me and some that I recite every day.

69
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: They change depending on what it is that I want

70
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: to work on that day or that week. And I

71
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 1: love affirmation so much, guys that there are some things

72
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: that I have planned for this year that hopefully they

73
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: come to fruition, and I think it's going to make

74
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: it a lot easier. But until then, we're going to

75
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: do this, okay. So whether you want to write it

76
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: on your mirror in the restroom on a piece of paper,

77
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: I feel just connecting your desire, your heart, to your

78
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 1: mind to the pen or pencil and writing it down

79
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: it just creates this wave of energy. Guys. Again, you

80
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: can put them in your notes as well, whatever works

81
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: for you. The point is being consistent okay, be consistent. Okay.

82
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: So we're going to start with health and well being okay,

83
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about mind, body, and soul. Okay. So

84
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: for me, health is absolutely imperative because if we don't

85
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: feel healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally, it's going to be

86
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: very difficult for us to get through the day and

87
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: to get our tasks done. Okay, So it's important that

88
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: we take care of our bodies and make time for

89
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: our spirituality and well being. It all is interconnected, okay.

90
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: So here are some affirmations that hopefully you can adopt,

91
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: and again, you don't have to do all of these.

92
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: These are just suggestions. Whatever ones resonate with you and

93
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: you feel as I'm saying them, those are the ones

94
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: that I would set to the side. I personally feel

95
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: that for each category you only just need one affirmation.

96
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: If you want to do two, that's fine. But I

97
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: like to start slow and ease my way into things,

98
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: because in the past I go all in and too

99
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: hard and then I burn out. So I think if

100
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: we just ease our way into this, especially if you're

101
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: new to affirmations and mantras, I would suggest starting with

102
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: one solid one in whatever area you want to work

103
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: in and focus on that. Okay, So health and well

104
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: being here we go. My body knows how to heal

105
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: and I support it with love and patience. That's one.

106
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: The second one is every day my body grows stronger, calmer,

107
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: and more balanced. Third, I listen to my body and

108
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: honor what it needs. Oh. I love that one. I

109
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: listen to my body and honor what it needs. If

110
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: you don't meditate, it's okay. Hopefully you pray. If you

111
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: don't pray, hopefully you sit in silence under the sun,

112
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: something where you are just connecting with yourself. Because when

113
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: we are in silence, guys, our body tells us so much.

114
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: It tells us what is feeling uncomfortable, what feels good,

115
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: what doesn't Like when you just close your eyes because

116
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm doing it right now, and you just close your

117
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: eyes and you just, like really just quiet the outside

118
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: noise and just try to listen to what your body

119
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: is saying. That's why I love that affirmation so much.

120
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: I listen to my body and honor what it needs.

121
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: Ooh yes, Because your body will tell you, guys, if

122
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: something's feeling uncomfortable, if something's hurting, Listen to that, like

123
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: really listen to it and adjust and make the changes

124
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: necessary to get in a better place and in alignment with

125
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: your body. Anyway, Okay, I have five for each category. Okay,

126
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: so be patient. Number four, health flows through me naturally

127
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: and consistently. Yes, because that's what you're calling. You're like, okay,

128
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: health flows through me naturally and consistently. We are consistent.

129
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: We are dedicated people. So it's just like that's also

130
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: a really good one. And number five, I am grateful

131
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: for my body and all that it does for me.

132
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: This is huge, guys. Taking a moment to like really

133
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: touch I like touching my shoulders because it's like I'm

134
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of giving my body a nice hug and I'm

135
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: just like, thank you, thank you for being strong, thank

136
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: you for keeping me healthy, thank you for keeping me alive.

137
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: Thank you body, thank you heart, thank you lungs. Like

138
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: being grateful, guys, and really grateful and really feeling that

139
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: connection with your body. Body will thank you. And the

140
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: more you do it again, this is consistency, guys. The

141
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: more you do it, the more you believe it. The

142
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: more you believe it, the more it becomes Okay, it

143
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: becomes a reality. So if you're being grateful with your

144
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: body and asking what it needs and honoring it, it

145
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: definitely will give back to you. And I always say

146
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: I am healthy, I am wealthy, and I am vibrant.

147
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: When I can't do more affirmations. That's my daily one.

148
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: I am healthy, I am wealthy, and I am vibrant.

149
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: I think that just sums it all up, because you

150
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: want to be healthy, you want to be wealthy, and

151
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: you want to be vibrant because you want to have

152
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: energy and you want to be happy and you want

153
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: to feel great. So that's a quick one, but definitely,

154
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: if you haven't tried giving yourself a hug, start now.

155
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: Give yourself a hug like it feels so amazing, And

156
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: that's you giving a hug to like your inner child's.

157
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: And that's one thing that was huge for me in

158
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five was just really tapping into my inner

159
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: child and honoring little Jane and touching my heart and

160
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: just saying, okay, it's okay, do you need something like

161
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: what is it that you're feeling right now? It's really

162
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: taking the time to be with yourself that makes a

163
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: huge difference. Guys, Like I'm telling you, if you guys

164
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: can do anything for yourselves this year in twenty twenty

165
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: six would be to really just take a moment, even

166
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: if it's ten minutes in the morning, to do this

167
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: and to really just connect with yourself. Now. A huge

168
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: one finance is an abundance, okay, because who doesn't want

169
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: to be financially stable. We all do. We need money

170
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: to make money, we need money to survive. Unfortunately, I

171
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: do hear a lot of people around me. I used

172
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: to do it where we speak negatively about finances and

173
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: our finances and talking in a very negative way. And granted,

174
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: we can all be in a position where we could

175
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: use more where we need more. But again, affirmations and

176
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: the law of attraction go hand in hand. So if

177
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: you're speaking negatively about your finances and your abundance, you're

178
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: just going to attract more of that. So that's why

179
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: I feel that these affirmations are absolutely necessary for everyone.

180
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: Number One, money flows to me in ways that feel aligned,

181
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: ethical and peaceful. Okay, we're snapping why because when we

182
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: are making money and I'm not knocking anybody, okay, because

183
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: I have made money in the past in ways that

184
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily proud of. I wasn't hurting anyone, but

185
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't just wasn't the right way to make money.

186
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: And I've noticed that now that I align myself with

187
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: my purpose and making money, even if it's not as

188
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: fast as I was making it before, but it's aligning

189
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: with my purpose and wanting to do right and have integrity,

190
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: the money's more consistent and more stable, if that makes

191
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: any sense. So that's why it's in there, and that's

192
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: why I wanted to put this one in there. Money

193
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: flows to me in ways that feel aligned, ethical, and peaceful. Okay,

194
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: we're in a world where we're just constantly looking for

195
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: that quick book, that quick like Okay, let's just it's

196
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: better even if the money comes in slower, but it's

197
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: steady and it's aligned, guys, and there's peace behind it.

198
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: Number Two, I am worthy of financial stability and abundance.

199
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: Yes you are, Yes we are. I am worthy is

200
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: the keyword. I am worthy. Number Three. I manage my

201
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: money with clarity, confidence, and wisdom. That is being a

202
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: good steward. If you've never heard that word, I probably

203
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: have mentioned that word here and there on the podcast

204
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: Being a good Steward. I learned that like two years

205
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: ago through my mentors of being a good steward, which

206
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: means whatever God gives you, especially your finances, is taking

207
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: care of it and being mindful with your money, not

208
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: just because we have it to be able to spend

209
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: it on just dumb things like you know what I mean,

210
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: Like we have to just be mindful about our finances.

211
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: And I've had to learn that because I think, Okay, yes,

212
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: God is good. God provides. That's one thing I always

213
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: say to him, like the Lord will provide. Yes, he

214
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: will provide. But that doesn't mean that we can just

215
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: misuse what He has given us. Now. Number four, opportunities

216
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: to prosper are always finding me ooh yes, opportunity to prosper. Yes,

217
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: we all want to prosper. We all want the opportunities,

218
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: the good opportunities. Okay, because again we want it to

219
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: be ethical and peaceful. Remember it all goes together, okay.

220
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: Number five, I release fear around money and trust. I

221
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: am supported. We have to release the fear and really

222
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: have faith that God will provide. Once he provides, what

223
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: are we gonna do with that money? All these affirmations

224
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: go hand in hand. Guys, So I don't know you

225
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: pick whichever feels right to you, wherever you are, whatever

226
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: it is that you feel that you can get better

227
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: at with finances, and stick to that one and recite

228
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: it and really believe it and really put a lot

229
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: of intention behind it, and take care of And I'm

230
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: not just telling you, I'm telling myself. We have to

231
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: take care of what God has given us, and whatever

232
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: it is that He gives us, take care of it

233
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: with tender love and care, and be grateful. There's nothing

234
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: better than being great full for having ten dollars. Even

235
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: if we want fifty, we have these ten dollars. AT's

236
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: be grateful for these ten dollars that we have right

237
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: now in our hand, instead of being upset because we

238
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: don't have the fifty dollars. Thank you God for these

239
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: ten dollars. And you know what, You're going to multiply them.

240
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: You will provide I will have one hundred. You have

241
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: to believe it, okay, and you have to know obviously

242
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: you got to do your part and you gotta work.

243
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying again, this isn't magic, this isn't like,

244
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. I'm just gonna say, and I don't

245
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: have to do anything. And then the money's going to

246
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: fall out of the sky. That's not how affirmations work.

247
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: We have to take action steps, right, but also being

248
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: grateful and protecting and taking care of what is given

249
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: to us and not just keeping it. Me me, me me.

250
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: Also seeing how it is that we can also share

251
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: the blessings. That's another thing that also keeps finances flowing,

252
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, paying it forward, all that good stuff, all right,

253
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: Moving on to self love, okay, and I wanted to

254
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: add self love because it's important, So here we go.

255
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: I love and accept myself exactly as I am in

256
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: this moment. Number two, I speak to myself with kindness

257
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: and compassion. That's a huge one for me, I'm telling

258
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: you because I get it. We're women and there's times

259
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: when we're pmsing and the hormones are everywhere and we

260
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: feel fluffy and the whole thing. But again, I've told

261
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: you guys this before. We can look in the mirror

262
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: and see at least one thing, if not three, things

263
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: that we love about ourselves. So yes, kindness and compassion,

264
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: all right. So Number three, I am enough, just as

265
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: I am. I am enough, just as I am, Yes

266
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: I am, and yes you are. Number four I choose

267
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: to honor myself and my needs. Yeah, that's one that

268
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: for sure. I am going to say a lot this

269
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: year because I learned so much last year that I

270
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: don't want to repeat certain things this year. So I

271
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: need to honor what it is that I'm feeling and

272
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: what it is that I want. And I need to

273
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: remember to say yes to myself. And if something feels

274
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: like no, then I need to not be afraid to

275
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: disappoint other people. It can't be. Oh, I don't want

276
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: to disappoint them. I'm going to just turn my back

277
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: on myself. It It's okay, guys, to say no and

278
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: to honor your feelings, like it's absolutely necessary because if not,

279
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: we go into that people pleasing and it's like that

280
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: whole it's a whole other conversation. All right. Number five,

281
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: My relationship with myself is built on love not criticism.

282
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: Oh yes, my relationship with myself is built on love

283
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: not criticism. I don't even gotta explain it, y'all know. Okay,

284
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: Next batch is empowerment and confidence. I wanted to add

285
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: empowerment and confidence because it's a new year, guys, and

286
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: we need to start this year off right. And empower

287
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: ourselves and be confident in this year, because I know

288
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: last year was hard for all of us. So here

289
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: we go. Number One, I trust myself and the decisions

290
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: I make. I trust myself and the decisions I make.

291
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: We have to trust our intuition. I talked a lot

292
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: about intuition in twenty twenty five because I was really

293
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: tapping into that and the importance of not ignoring it

294
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: and trusting whatever it is that's giving me peace and

295
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: really realizing what the difference between peace is and feeling guilty.

296
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: So I don't know, maybe there's an episode that I

297
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: can do on that, just on this subject, because I

298
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: get it. I have try to work through that feeling

299
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: of feeling guilty, and again it goes hand in hand

300
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: with honoring ourselves and the whole thing. So moving on

301
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: number two, I have the power to create the life

302
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: I desire. Number three, my voice matters and deserves to

303
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: be heard. Yes, it does. Use your voice to speak

304
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: words of life, to speak good and kindness into other people.

305
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: I always tell you, guys, there is a lot of

306
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: power in the tongue, and this is what this entire

307
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: episode is all about. You're speaking words of life into

308
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: yourself when you're doing affirmations and you're setting the tone,

309
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: and it might not happen the next day or in

310
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: a week or in two months, but again, the more

311
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: you speak life into your life, and I mean like

312
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: light and positivity, you will see the change in your life.

313
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: So that's that. Now I move through life with confidence

314
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: and and courage. Number five, I release fear and step

315
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: into my authentic power. That is what this Year of

316
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: the Horse is all about, stepping into your authentic power.

317
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: So that's a very good one for this year. I'm

318
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: definitely writing that one I think on my mirror because yes,

319
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: I have to remember what is my authentic self, what

320
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: is my authentic power, what is my purpose? I need

321
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: to step into it. I need to be intentional in

322
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: doing that because I don't want to feel like I

323
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: did last year. I really need to take everything I

324
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: learned last year and turn it into action steps and

325
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: really do what I need to do in order to

326
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: be in my authentic self. So hopefully some of those

327
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: resonated and you're able to use one or two and

328
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: now we're going to It kind of goes with self

329
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: love and attracting love, but love, just love and I

330
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: want to end with love because love is definitely the

331
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: moving force of the universe. And I have said it

332
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: time and time again because I truly believe that. Guys,

333
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: I know sometimes it's hard to love certain people. They

334
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: make it hard. I know that people press our buttons

335
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: and sometimes bring out the not so nice side of us.

336
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, love is what's

337
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: going to change the world. And I think if our

338
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: foundation is love, everything else will flow. And I'll break

339
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: it down. The first one is love is the foundation

340
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: of my life and the energy that guides me. Love

341
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: is the foundation of my life and the energy that

342
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: guides me. Yes, And that's what should guide us, and

343
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: that should be our foundation. And if the foundation is

344
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: solid and it's built off of love, everything else is

345
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: going to be able to grow. I know we've seen

346
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: not so nice people in the world make it. They're

347
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: a holes, they don't do right by people, they're selfish,

348
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: and why is it that they make it? I've asked

349
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: myself that question. Even if it takes us longer to

350
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: get to our goal, it's better for it to be

351
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: slow and steady versus people that are heartless and people

352
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: that are mean and don't care about anyone else but

353
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: themselves when they're building their empire on the foundation of

354
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, ego, being egotistic, whatever it is that

355
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: you want to call it, whatever it is, it doesn't

356
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: last long, I promise you, and it crumbles down horribly,

357
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: And oh maybe I shouldn't. I was gonna say, puff daddy. Anyway,

358
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: he had the world in his hands, guys, and you

359
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: may think, oh my goodness, he had everything for years,

360
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: made all this money, guys. And it's like when you

361
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: don't do things right and out of love and real love. Okay,

362
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: I'm talking about real, genuine love, Like I want to

363
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: help the world. I want to do right by people.

364
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: I want to be a person of integrity and use

365
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: money in the right way, not to get whatever it

366
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: is you want and buy yourself out of everything. You

367
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about having a downfall. That is

368
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: just horrible. Anyway, we're gonna move on because that's a

369
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: whole other episode. But okay, the second one, I choose

370
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: to live, act and speak from love. That's simple, straight up.

371
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: Number three. I am open to giving and received love freely.

372
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: Know it's hard, but that's one thing that I tell

373
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: myself it is safe for me to love and to

374
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: be loved. For a long time, I was scared to

375
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: love people because I'm like, oh my god, what if

376
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: they leave me? What if this and that happens? And

377
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I'm missing out on so much when

378
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: I could just give myself completely to someone, to my friends,

379
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: to my partner, to my siblings, to whoever is important

380
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: to you without being afraid and keeping these walls up

381
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: because that's your defense mechanism. That was me for a

382
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: long time. And it's like I am missing out on

383
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: enjoying the moment. And even if something happens in a

384
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: year or two years, at least I was able to

385
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: fully enjoy and love freely and purely, and it feels amazing.

386
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that love is not going to hurt,

387
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: that you're not taking a risk, yes, but at least

388
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: you are feeling something beautiful and not stopping yourself from

389
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: feeling love. So that one's a beautiful one loving freely. Okay.

390
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: Number four. I attract healthy, alone and loving relationships. So

391
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: if you're trying to attract love, this is a good

392
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: one because you want to attract a healthy, aligned and

393
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: loving relationship like this, that's what you want. And again

394
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: it goes with whatever it is you are projecting and

395
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: whatever it is that you want to attract, you also

396
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: have to mirror that. You can't just ask for something

397
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: that you're not willing to give. And whatever type of

398
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: love you're trying or person you're trying to attract, for

399
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: you to become that first and foremost in order for

400
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: you to have a relationship that is going to be

401
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: more peaceful. Okay, because relationships are hard. We know that

402
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: no relationship is perfect. Every person that we encounter is

403
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: going to have that twenty percent that all of us

404
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: that we can work on, you know, but at least

405
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: it'll be more peaceful. So that's just a little suggestion,

406
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: a little side note, all right. Number five, the more

407
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: love I embody, the more love flows to me. And

408
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to end it on that because it's like, yeah,

409
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's self explanatory. The more love I embody,

410
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: the more love flows to me. So it's again it

411
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: goes back to what I just said, And yeah, guys,

412
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: I just thought it would be important to have an

413
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: episode like this to start off the year so that

414
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: we set the tone and energetically we're all aligned together again.

415
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Affirmations are either for you or they're not, although you

416
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: should not knock them until you try them, like I

417
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 1: said earlier, So I think just try them. It doesn't

418
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: have to be obviously all of these days are a lot,

419
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: but one or two in whichever category, or just one

420
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: and start off slow. But when you do anything with

421
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: love and intention and consistency, anything, guys, it will work.

422
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: And I love them and they've helped me so much

423
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: my entire life. There's times when I take breaks. I'm like, Okay,

424
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm going to take a little break like

425
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: I do with my collagen for instance. I'm like, okay,

426
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: I've finished this bottle of college and I'm going to

427
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: take a week off and then I'm going to start

428
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: off again because we all just need to reset. So

429
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: there you have it, and I hope these affirmations definitely

430
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: help you throughout the year and give me feedback, let

431
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: me know how you're feeling in a couple months. More

432
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: than anything, it's just speaking positivity into your life. And

433
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: it's a lot better than us saying mean things to ourselves,

434
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: whether we speak it out loud or we say it internally,

435
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: So give it a try, and I hope you guys

436
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: have an amazing year. Guys, this is going to be

437
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: an amazing year. It's going to be great, and it's

438
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: going to be for sure better than last year. So

439
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, and that's what I'm deciding to

440
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: speak into my life, into our lives. So yeah, thank
