Dropping Hey, Welcome back 15 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: to another episode of the Dropping Gem's podcast. I'm your host, 16 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: Debbie Brown. We are almost at the New Year, everyone, 17 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: and I was recording this episode this week and my 18 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: intention was to have a special meditation, but I received 19 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: a d M recently asking for more and more and 20 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: more New Year's content, so I thought this would be 21 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: the perfect time to share some of my personal practices 22 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: with you of how I like to prepare, especially in 23 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: the last few days of the new year, some stuff 24 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: that I'm thinking about, some stuff that I'm doing, and 25 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: some tools that might be useful for you as you 26 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: prepare to really open yourself and open your heart to 27 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: whatever it is that you uniquely are looking to create, make, 28 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: manifest and release in this next year of three. So 29 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: we're in the sweet spot. I've shared this before on 30 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: the show, but this is actually my absolute favorite time 31 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: of year, this void moment where we are kind of 32 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: straddling two worlds. We are still in the thick of 33 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: or the end of two and we are already kind 34 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: of open and imagining. For many of us, depending on 35 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: the industry that you work in or how your days 36 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: um how you quantify your days, this is often kind 37 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: of a low week for a lot of people, even 38 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: if you have to go into the office. It's a 39 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: little bit like kind of like you know, you're a 40 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: little more casual, a little more throwaway of a week, 41 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: and for many the industry is shut down until after 42 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: the first so it is a nice little d n 43 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: D time, but it's also a time to do some 44 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: really intentional house cleaning um inside of yourself and in 45 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: your home. This is the time of year where I 46 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: head to the Baja with my family, so I spent 47 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: a lot of time in Cabo, a lot of time 48 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: in the Baja of Mexico. And where I am right 49 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: now as I'm recording this podcast, I am looking out 50 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: at the Sea of Cortez. I had an incredible meditation 51 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: this morning, just alone on the beach. And this time 52 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: of year where I am is the time of year 53 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: that is called whales season. So I see a lot 54 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: of whales off in the distance with their babies. Usually 55 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: it's a mama with their baby coming to the warm 56 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: waters before they head back to the arctic um in 57 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: several months. But it's just kind of starting, it's just 58 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: kicking off. So every day I've been seeing, you know, 59 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: maybe an extra whale or two, and I've had the 60 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: beautiful chance to just walk them kind of play in 61 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: the water off of the water, the moms and the babies. 62 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: They splash each other, they breach the water, which means 63 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: they jump up um sometimes just a big arm flap 64 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: or a big flap of their tails, or sometimes it's 65 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: their entire body, and it's a really special time for 66 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: me to connect with nature, to release my thought, to 67 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: release my years, um, to release this last year. I 68 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: should say my thoughts over this last year, and to 69 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: also just open and surrender um, and notice and observe 70 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: what choices we're really meaningful for me this year? UM? 71 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: What choices could I have done differently? Maybe? Uh? Was 72 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: there a higher choice to come into for a higher outcome? 73 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: I journal a lot in this week of the year, 74 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: a lot every day I am journaling. I'm reflecting on 75 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: my journal entries of the last calendar year. It's a 76 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: time where I like to dream a little bit more 77 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: and intentionally think of ways UM that I want to 78 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: grow myself and grow my life. And for me that 79 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: has become very inextricably linked with whale Susan. I've been 80 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: coming here um at this time of year for about 81 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: the last four or five years, and so being with 82 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: the ocean in this way, being with the sand, with 83 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: just the very particular and beautiful flow of the Baja, 84 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: which is a lot of resilient desert and cacti meets ocean, um, 85 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: and being able to see the whales at play. It's 86 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: a very humbling feeling. It's feeling that reminds me both 87 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: how small I am in the grand scheme of the 88 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: universe and of the life in this world, but also 89 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: how miraculous I am as a human being, um, how 90 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: miraculous this human experiences, how miraculous God is. So that 91 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: is what is kind of brewing inside of me right 92 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: now and where I am. And I wanted to share 93 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: a few, just a few thoughts as you sit in 94 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: this sacred space between worlds and prepare for mm hmm, 95 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: a year that will feel meaningful. I'm gonna go through 96 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: about four different pillars that I like to think of 97 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: in this time of the year. So I want to 98 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: invite everyone to consider having a notebook handy or you know, 99 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: just making little notes if anything resonates um or feels 100 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: useful for you, and otherwise maybe just allow yourself to 101 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: take this podcast and a walk with you, to go 102 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: sit down and ground on the ground, on the grass 103 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: and soil, maybe take your shoes off, and maybe just 104 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: kind of track what I'm saying and notice where it 105 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: lands in your body, to you, where it lends in 106 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: your life, how it feels. This episode is titled Prepare 107 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: for the change that you want. So very often, so 108 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: many of us go into the new year with that 109 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: kind of societal motivation. It's not really a deeply rooted, 110 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: grounded um motivation. Always a lot of the time it's 111 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: about measuring or about, you know, doing things in the 112 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: way society has prescribed, like make your resolutions, what are 113 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: you gonna do for next year, make your vision board, 114 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: make your goals, you know all of that, and it's great, right, 115 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: But the deeper we can go with our intention, the 116 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: better outcome, the higher outcome. So this time of year, um, 117 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: astrologically speaking, it's not really charged with a lot of energy. 118 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: It's kind of more of a lull um. March is 119 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: the astrological new year, and we just kicked off one 120 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: of the most powerful days of the years last week 121 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: with the winter solstice. That has a lot of energetic charge, 122 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: which is why a few episodes ago I really encouraged 123 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: everyone to get started with some of this process of 124 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: intention setting for the new year in November and December, 125 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: because that's when we're coming out of um some big 126 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: eclipse energy and we're coming into the solstice and we 127 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: just had a new moon, so there's just a little 128 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: more charge for intentions, but anytime it's a great time. 129 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: So I want to talk with you about preparing for 130 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: that change that you want to see. We're days away 131 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: from the new year, um the first month. We still 132 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: have so much freedom, so whenever you're catching this episode, 133 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: it's perfect, but I want you to start thinking of 134 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: some of your intention setting, or you might use the 135 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: terminology goal setting for this new year under four specific 136 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: pillars that I really enjoy using for myself. This is 137 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: kind of how I measure and I plan and I 138 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: intend personally. So first you want to think, you want 139 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: to get rooted and grounded. You want to really sit 140 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: with yourself in silence in a way that you were 141 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: releasing control of your thoughts and just connecting to the 142 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: universal flow. So getting grounded, creating some space to think, 143 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: some space to then release thoughts and thinking, and some 144 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: space to just open to receive that aligned flow from 145 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: the universe. And then after you kind of do that 146 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: step with a pen and a paper handy, I want 147 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: you to really workshop what we're going to be talking about. 148 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: So the four is that you should be focusing on 149 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: right now for this practice, and I'll say them a 150 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: couple of times, and I'll try to say it slowly. 151 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: The first category is personally your personal life. The way 152 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: that I kind of describe what personal means, personal is really, 153 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: in many ways, your internal experience. When I use that 154 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: term personally, personal should account for the internal life that 155 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: you're living, your internal experience, how regulated you feel, how 156 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: you're connecting to your emotions, how you're connecting to your physicality, 157 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: how you're connecting to your past, how you're connecting to 158 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: your intimacy, how you're connecting to some of those deeper 159 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: unseen parts of yourself that you tend to kind of 160 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: turn ruin your life, or maybe have a lot of 161 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: rumination over a lot of thought around the creating a 162 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: section for the ways that you want to expand personally. 163 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: What do you want to expand what do you want 164 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: to release personally this year? And take just a moment here, 165 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: will spend a couple of minutes in this spot, and 166 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: I want you, if you have a pen and paper handy, 167 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: to go ahead and write some things down. If you don't, 168 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: I want you to just close your eyes and come 169 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: into a more meditative stance here and begin to explore 170 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: how are you relating to yourself? Personally, the intimacy you 171 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: have with you in whatever ways you relate to that 172 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: word m. The intimacy you have with others, specifically that 173 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: kind of first and second tier of people in your 174 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: close life, in your close contacts, some family members, perhaps 175 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: um the most trusted of friends that would fall into 176 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: your personal category. How are you relating to your personal 177 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: life right now? How are you relating to your emotional life? 178 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: How are you relating to your thoughts of the past 179 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: or any pains, any challenges that maybe you have been 180 00:12:45,840 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: brewing over for some time. Yeah, and now release the 181 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: thought you're having there, and now I want you to 182 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: envision the kind of change you'd like to experience in 183 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: whatever areas were coming up for you, and really try 184 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: to route these changes and things that can be experienced 185 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: and done by you. We don't want to put too 186 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: much weight on any areas that are requiring cooperation from 187 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: another person, because that's not necessarily something we can ever 188 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: control or truly bank on. Right. We can only really 189 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: count on our own reactions and responses, on our own choices. So, 190 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: sitting here for a moment and think of the changes 191 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: you want to see in that particular area of personal 192 00:14:53,160 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: and now really connecting to your intuition, M, what are 193 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: some things that you can do to prepare in the 194 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: next few days before this year starts to make whatever 195 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: those intended changes are real, tangible and true in your life? 196 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: What prep work needs to be done? There are there 197 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: any unfinished conversations that could be had? Now, you don't 198 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: want to get too far into three carrying loads from two. 199 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: So what can you release? What can you finish? What 200 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: can you complete? What are some cycles that can close 201 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: or conversations that can be concluded. What is some work 202 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: in your life on that personal level that you can 203 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: maybe just make peace with and say, I don't want 204 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: to do this right now, I'll revisit this later, or 205 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: I'm really going to dive into this now. Just notice 206 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: and if you can just drop down a couple of notes, 207 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: you can return to it later, expand on it later, 208 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: reread it later. Does not have to be perfect, just 209 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: needs to be true whatever feels the most true. All right. 210 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: So that was one that was the personal category of 211 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: our lives. Now the second piece that we want to 212 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: get into to really begin to prepare for the change 213 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: that we want. It's thinking about a professional bucket now 214 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: for something that can mean professional if you feel rooted 215 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: in your purpose or in a career or in something 216 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: that you're doing. Um for others, this could be a 217 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: space of divine aspiration. What are you intending? Where do 218 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: you want to expand who do you want to be 219 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: and become in your working life and in the working world. 220 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: But thinking about your professional life, we want to go 221 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: through those same steps. So just kind of anchor in 222 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: here and allow yourself to just kind of take stock 223 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: of that professional category for just a moment and kind 224 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: of come up with here, how are you relating to 225 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: your professional life whatever that word means to you, whatever 226 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: it is that you happen to do or want to do, 227 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: or whatever you may be seeing as something you are 228 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: not doing. However you're relating to that, I want you 229 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: to just notice it, observe it, connect to it, maybe 230 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: right down a few words bullet point in your mind's 231 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: I a few thoughts that you can return to.

Is it creating more time to 248 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: work on things that you are more passionate about.

Just start to drop down. Now, 252 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: what are some ways that you can actually show up 253 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: and create structure for the change that you want to 254 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: experience in that particular category or bucket of your life? 255 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: And just sit there for a second ride and that 256 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: okay and releasing that there and now we're going to 257 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: come into a space where we begin to observe what 258 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: does our home life look like. And in this moment, 259 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: by home life, I don't necessarily mean family or children 260 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: or spouse, but if that feels really relevant for you, 261 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: please lean into it. When I say home, I really 262 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: mean the structure that you were currently living in. You know, Um, 263 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of doing a home renovation at 264 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: my house and it's been a really incredible experience. I've 265 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: been just very intentional in each room with the ways 266 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: that I want to position things, the kind of energy 267 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to invite in. And so when you kind 268 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: of think of your space, just take stock of it. 269 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: How are you relating to where you live right now? 270 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: How are you relating to the flow of where you reside? 271 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: How are you relating to the things that are in 272 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: the container that you reside in? And just notice, And 273 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: there are to be some things that, just for whatever reasons, 274 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: are not possible to change right now. And that's okay too. 275 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: We're just noticing. We're not saying that change has to 276 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: happen in this instant, but we are intending for more. 277 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: And so we're looking at ourselves and our lives and 278 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: our homes with honest eyes, with open hearts. We're just 279 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: noticing we're observing what feels most true. So now think 280 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: of your actual physical dwelling, your actual home. Whatever that 281 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: looks like. Um, if it is, in this moment, just 282 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: a bed, think of that bed. It's just an area 283 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: of a space, think of that. If it is an 284 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: entire home that you're in with others or by yourself, 285 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: think of that. Whatever that is, it's where you are dwelling. 286 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: How do you want to feel when you're home? What 287 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: do you want to feel when you're home? How do 288 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: you want your home to uniquely support you for your life, 289 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: for your needs, for your desires, for the things that 290 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: are most useful to you and most meaningful to you. 291 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: What do you want home to represent? How do you 292 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: want to relate to that word and that experience of 293 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: when you're not in the world. And now take a 294 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,719 Speaker 1: moment to think of ways that you can prepare for 295 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: that change that you want to see in your home life. 296 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: What does that change look or feel like, what does 297 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: that change represent, and how can you prepare for it? 298 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: What are some ways that you can make this more 299 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: true for yourself, even if you know a redesign or 300 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: new purchases or a different flow, even if that is 301 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: not possible. What can you do right now to prepare 302 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: for that bigger change at a very core level. For 303 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: those that are able, it could look like really tidying 304 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: up your space with a lot of intention. Maybe before 305 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: the new year starts, you give your home a deep, deep, 306 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: deep clean, you know, really scrub all the areas, the 307 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: nooks and the crannies, put on a playlist that feels 308 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: invocative to you in whatever ways that feels joyful for you, 309 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: or maybe even a little tender for you. You know, 310 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: maybe while you're cleaning your home you need to have 311 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: a good release and have a good cry as you scrub, 312 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: or maybe it's more joyful and you're thinking of all 313 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: the things that you're inviting into this cleanliness. But having 314 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: alignment in your life and all the ways, and having 315 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: certain areas where you hold pristine presence for yourself, where 316 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: you have good spiritual, physical, emotional hygiene, it's really important 317 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: to the flow of being able to manifest those higher desires, 318 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: those higher goals. It's really important um to have a base, 319 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: the foundation of cleanliness, of clearing of space. Right So, 320 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: this is the time of year where sometimes you might 321 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: find yourself going through your things, you know, giving some 322 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: things away, selling some things, or maybe it's just kind 323 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: of intentionally redecorating what the things you have. If there's 324 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: something in your bedroom maybe you wanted in your living 325 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: space now and vice versa, right like, but walk through 326 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: each room of your home with intention or each area, 327 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: each corner, and I want you to say, how could 328 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: this feel more me? How could this feel better? How 329 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: could this feel more spacious, more clean? And take your 330 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: time before the new year starts and in that first 331 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: month to really bring that to life more for yourself. 332 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: The home is such a sacred space. You know, when 333 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: you're in bed, you spend the majority of your day 334 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: typically in the bed. That's the constant, consistent place that 335 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: you find yourself around the same times every single day. 336 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: There's a power in that, there's a power in that 337 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: presence that you're building in your bed, in your room, 338 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: wherever you sit for the majority of the time you 339 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: spend at home. So use that energy with intention, build 340 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: that out, you know, send something there clear that area. 341 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: You know, if you want to connect maybe with your crystals, 342 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: if you have some think of what crystals would really 343 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: enlive in this area of my home, and it comes 344 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: to the living room. I like to have crystals that 345 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: are really um grounded and nourishing UM, but also heart opening. 346 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: The way that I use my house in the living room, 347 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: that's where we're having a lot of conversation, a lot 348 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: of get together, is a lot of connection and community. 349 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: So I like to have crystals in that room that 350 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: really speak to that experience. So think about that with 351 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: every area of your house and what they mean to you. 352 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: You just come up with a list as it feels comfortable, 353 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: preparing for the change you want to see in that space. 354 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: The last pillar I have, Now this is very very 355 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: specific to me for a sure, UM, but I want 356 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: to invite you to think about how this may be 357 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: relatable UM or possible in your life. But every year 358 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: I think about something I'm curious about or interested in, 359 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: and I dedicate my entire year to studying that particular 360 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: subject UM. And sometimes by study I mean I've enrolled 361 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: in a course or a class and I'm dedicating that 362 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: next year or so too being in study with real curriculum. 363 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: And sometimes it's about creating curriculum for myself. If I'm 364 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: interested in something, it's me kind of saying yeah, I'm 365 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: gonna give myself this year to kind of explore this, 366 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: get to know this thought, this theory a little bit better. 367 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: And so I might you know, go on Amazon or 368 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: go to the library and find books related to that subject. Um, 369 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: I might you know, really intend that when I have 370 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: free time, I'll build out, you know, a day once 371 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: a month where I deep dive into whatever that subject 372 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: of interest is for me. And that can range, um 373 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: I have I'm into a lot um so some years 374 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: that could be a deep dive in a very particular 375 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: um angle of psychology. Or it could be you know, 376 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 1: me going deeper in my energetic practice and studying some 377 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: new systems, or deeper in my meditation practice and trying 378 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: on new styles or new mutras for that year. Um. 379 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: Or it could also look like, you know, hey, I'm 380 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: kind of interested and this is a very real example 381 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: which lets you guys know the way that I think 382 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: it might be a little nerdy, but I'm very fascinated 383 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: by city planning. So it might be me saying, you know, 384 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: this next year, I'm really gonna with my free time, 385 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to think more about that, or look up 386 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: more interesting things about how cities have been formed or 387 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, different communities have come to be UM. Last 388 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: year I found myself in quite a deep dive of that. 389 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to really spend more time and thought about 390 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: ancient civilization and UM, I'm really interested in the thought 391 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: process now of how many times have we had to 392 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: rebuild humanity? My brain is so exhausted. UM. But what 393 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: is that for you? You know? Is that yoga? Is 394 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: that breath work? Is that studying creative arts? Is that 395 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: studying knitting? Is that you know, um, creating more space 396 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: to really paint or do something that feels good and 397 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: pleasurable for you. What is something you want to go 398 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: deeper into? Is it self study? Is it really you know, 399 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: connecting to journaling every every day every week and then 400 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: reading back and doing different UM practices with yourself as 401 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: it relates to that? But where do you want to grow? 402 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: And I don't just mean that in terms of like 403 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: the work we do on ourselves very real, tangibly. What 404 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: are things that exist in the world old that you 405 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: want to know more about, Areas that you want to grow, 406 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: that you want to expand, Areas that you would like 407 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: to come into mastery of. Where can you gift yourself 408 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: more intentional thought, intentional reading, intentional study time. You know, 409 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: instead of being led by the trends of the world, 410 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: instead of being led by the mainstreams of things that 411 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: other people are posting that they're interested in, or whatever 412 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: prediction some expert is giving about. You know, what you 413 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: should be interested in this year? What are you interested in? 414 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: And how can you meet that need for yourself and 415 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: expand yourself in that way that feels the most natural, 416 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: the most curious, the most nourishing. So that's a thought. 417 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: So just to go over those four areas that you 418 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: want to consider, and excuse me when we come back 419 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: to that steady part. I want you to make a 420 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: bullet pointed list, either in your mind's eye or physically 421 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: on paper. But how can you prepare or that study? 422 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: How can you prepare for that change? If there is 423 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: something you want to know more about, is it maybe 424 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: taking an hour and getting on Google and saying, is 425 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: anybody teaching a class on this? Or is there you know, 426 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: a really gifted um person on YouTube that's creating content 427 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: around this. And you know, if I look at the 428 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: flow of my calendar, if I look at the flow 429 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: of my life, when could I fit in more time 430 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: to spend time with that thought or subject. Is it 431 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: once a month? Do I have two hours on one 432 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: Saturday a month? Do I have one day a month? 433 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: Do I have a few hours each week? Do I 434 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: have twenty to forty minutes each day that I want 435 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: to do that and connect to that? But make a list, 436 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: start thinking about it. How can you make this real 437 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: for you? How can you make this true for you? 438 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: How can you create a structure that you feel comfortable 439 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: being consistent in? Mm hmm. Just some thoughts that might 440 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: feel good to think about. So those four areas that 441 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: you can spend these last few days in this first 442 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: month thinking about where do you want to prepare for 443 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: more change that you want to see in your personal life, 444 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: that internal world inside of yourself, in your professional life 445 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: or your working life, in your home and in your study, 446 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: in the ways that you're growing and enriching yourself, in 447 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: your presence. Mm hmm. I hope you spend time with 448 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: all four of those. It's something I really love to do, 449 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: and I've just found that being really intentional in that 450 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: way has stretched my life. It is enhanced my life. 451 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: It's created more space for what is true and real 452 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: about my unique destiny and myself, so I just encourage 453 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: you to consider doing the same.
