I'm so excited to be 14 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: back in your ears in twenty twenty five. I know 15 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: we've been in twenty twenty five for a while, but 16 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say happy New Year, and I 17 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: hope that you guys are feeling fresh. You're feeling inspired 18 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: and motivated and all the things. I had such a 19 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: lovely holiday. My parents stayed with us for about two weeks, 20 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: which was beautiful because obviously just a lot of family 21 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: time and my parents just they treat me like a 22 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: child in the way of they just look after me. 23 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: They cook and clean, and you know, they're just very doting. 24 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: So I love when they stay with us. So in 25 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: this episode, I want to talk about if you're feeling 26 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: stuck or confused and you're like, I'm just not certain, 27 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: I just don't know, I'm not sure. Obviously, you know, 28 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: if you want a very generic answer, you can chat 29 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: GPT and you will get very generic stuff like, you know, reflect, 30 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: reconnect to your why, journal through it, break it down, 31 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: declutter your environment, experiment and tests, and let go of 32 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: perfection and look, that is amazing And I feel like 33 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: those things, you know, can really really help if you're 34 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: not feeling clarity. But I wanted to bring in another 35 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: conversation which just might be something that you haven't thought about. 36 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: With the new year, most of us are looking for clarity. 37 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: We are looking to feel certain, we are looking for Okay, 38 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: this is what I'm about, this is what I'm going 39 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: to do, and I understand it and I have a 40 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: plan and I feel really really good. So when we're 41 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: not feeling like that, and we do feel this confusion, 42 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: this uncertainty, not having clarity. I do believe it can 43 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: be limiting beliefs and blocks that we are giving ourselves. 44 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: And when you unmask why it's happening and why it 45 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: might be happening and really kind of dig deeper, you 46 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: can then find the clarity. Or if it's not finding 47 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: the clarity, it's just like realizing that you're probably overthinking it. 48 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: And I know, like clarity is one of the biggest 49 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: blocks and limiting beliefs that keep us small and keep 50 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: us stuck. So that's what we're going to do in 51 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: today's episode. We're going to unmask how you can move 52 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: through uncertainty and step into your next level with clarity. 53 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to give you, I guess, like shadow work 54 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: perspectives of lack of clarity. Again, like you said, like 55 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: if you want a very generic answer, I'm sure there's 56 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: a lot of like podcasts and youtubes and stuff about 57 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: it where it's just like generic answers of like clean 58 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: your environment, do a least blah blah blah. But I 59 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: wanted to really get you to think about could this 60 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: lack of clarity be you not wanting to move forward 61 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: because subconsciously you know how uncomfortable it is, how this 62 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: next action might be actually the thing that quantum leaps you, 63 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: and that might scare you because often we can use 64 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: lack of clarity as a reason to why we haven't moved. 65 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: So if you know, your friend or your mom or 66 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: your sister's like, well, if you don't like your job, 67 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: why don't you quit, And it's like, oh, well, I'm 68 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: just I'm not sure what I want to do. This 69 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: might be consciously or unconsciously, and so it can stop 70 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: us from moving, and you can become obsessed with trying 71 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: to find the next level, trying to be clear on 72 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: the next step, trying to be clear on what you 73 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: have to do next, rather than taking action. Do you 74 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: see what I mean? Like you're saying you're stuck, but 75 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: that's what's keeping you stuck. So if you do know 76 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: that you want different and you want to move different, 77 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: and you want something different, and you're talking to your 78 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: friends about it and your you know, your mom and 79 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 1: your sister and what not, but you're like, I really 80 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: hate my job. I know it's just not for me anymore. 81 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to do something different, but I'm just 82 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: not certain on what I want to do, so I'm 83 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: going to stay in it. Do you see how like 84 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: the uncertainty is keeping you in that cycle? So again, 85 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: we are creatures of comfort. We love to be comfortable, 86 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: and I get it. It's like when we are comfortable, 87 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: we are certain. Even if it means you're certain of 88 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: the outcome you don't want, that is still going to 89 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: be more comfortable than when you're not certain of the 90 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: outcome you don't want, but that might be the thing 91 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: you want, if that makes sense. So then rather than 92 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: taking action, we will just continuously say I'm uncertain, I'm unclear, 93 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: and it feels good because we have identified that we 94 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 1: don't want to stay where we're at, But it gets 95 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: to keep us where we're at. And I really think, 96 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, if it's not consciously, it's this subconscious thing 97 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: that you're doing. And it also protects your ego because 98 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: our ego again is a beautiful thing where it does 99 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: keep us safe and comfortable. So your ego will give 100 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: you things like, oh, well we can't move towards certain Well, 101 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: you're just not clear about this, whereas really it's about 102 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: taking the action and moving through it and getting clear 103 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: as you go. So this can show up in a 104 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: few ways. So you might think about what you want 105 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: and then it just immediately scares you, and a limiting 106 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: belief pops up of why you shouldn't do that thing, 107 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: and you squash the dream, and then you lean into well, 108 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm just not sure what's next for me. An example 109 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: of this is maybe you're like I said you maybe 110 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: you're stuck in that job you hate, but you say 111 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what I want next, but you do 112 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: know what you want next, Like, you might not be 113 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: very specific on like I want to be blah blah blah, 114 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: but I'm sure you know how you want to feel 115 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: when you wake up, how you want to feel with 116 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: the people around you. So maybe it's like you don't 117 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: like the job you're in, but you know you want 118 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: to be in a job where your boss respects you, 119 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: your other colleagues inspire and motivate you. You have flexibility 120 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: for your side hustle, you can pick your work hours, 121 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, blah blah blah. Even if you're like, I 122 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: don't know the exact thing, you will know the feeling. 123 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: You will know your values and like the surrounding specifics. 124 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: I guarantee you. But this is when the confusion comes in, 125 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: because it's easier to stay still. And that's the thing is, like, 126 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you want to jump to like a 127 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: whole new industry, and that really scares you, and that 128 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: really scares your ego. I've had instances with clients with 129 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: you know, my alumni where they are saying, I'm confused, 130 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm like blah blah blah, and they actually believe it, 131 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: like they're not lying to me. And then like once 132 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: we understand what their ego is trying to do, once 133 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: we understand how subconsciously they're scared, they don't want to move, 134 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: they don't want to be uncomfortable, no joke, they get clarity, 135 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: but it's like their ego will literally make them feel confused. 136 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: Like I'm definitely not saying you're lying about the confusion 137 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: or the lack of clarity. I'm saying, can you dig deeper? 138 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: And is there a level of you are actually extremely 139 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: clear on what you want, but you're scared or there's 140 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: a limiting belief or it's easier to sit in the 141 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, but I'm not sure blah blah blah. 142 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: But I'm just feeling confused. I actually caught myself out 143 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: with this this morning. I was on a walk with 144 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: my partnerships manager, so she helps me any relationships, so 145 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: you know, like my partnership with LSKD. I don't really 146 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: do a lot of ads or anything these days. But 147 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: she's a long time girlfriend too, So we went on 148 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: a walk together and I was saying the words I 149 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: just feel really confused about like the content I want 150 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: to create and like who I want to be on Instagram, 151 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: And she kind of turned around and she's like, Georgia, 152 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: what are you talking about. You know exactly who you are, 153 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: you know exactly what content you enjoy, what you want 154 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: to watch on Instagram, who you want to be on Instagram. 155 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: You're just not being maybe completely honest with yourself about 156 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: like how you want to go about it, or like 157 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: you're limiting beliefs or blocks or you know, like maybe 158 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: you're scared what people will think, call blah blah blah blah. 159 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: And I was like, you know what, You're actually completely right. 160 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: I do know, And this is like a question you 161 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: can So it's like if anything was possible, if whatever 162 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: outcome you want was possible, if it didn't cost money, 163 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: if it didn't hurt anyone, if no one could say 164 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: anything to you, what would you do that will bring 165 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: clarity because most of the time it's like we do 166 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: have clarity, we're just worried what other people think. We're 167 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: worried that it's too uncomfortable. We're worried that we won't succeed, 168 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: We're worried that it's going to be too hard, it's 169 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: going to be too much, et cetera, et cetera. So 170 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: I want you guys to just be very conscious of 171 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: where you're saying I'm stuck, where you're saying, you know, 172 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't have clarity, where you're saying I'm confused. I'm 173 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: not sure. It's fine if you feel like that big 174 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: dig deeper, because I guarantee you that's not actually the problem. 175 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: The problem is like in my scenario, I was caring 176 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: about like showing up in a certain way, and I 177 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: said to her, oh my god, like and I had 178 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: the aha moment of I think now that I am 179 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: a bigger, you know, Instagram account, if not all my 180 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: content is doing extremely well, I feel like a failure 181 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: because that's not it. But it's like I have such 182 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: a high expectation of my content. So when it's like 183 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: not doing all extremely well, I'm like, what's the point, 184 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: which is so dramatic of me? And so then I 185 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: get in this like, well I don't even know what 186 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: anyone wants for me or blah blah blah, and it's 187 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: so far from what I know and who I am. 188 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: But again, it's all encompassed around limiting beliefs and my 189 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: ego trying to keep me in this place where I'm 190 00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: not getting criticism. What I've realized, sometimes I won't try 191 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: very hard because like if things don't go well or 192 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: I don't get the result I want, I'm like, well 193 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: that makes sense because I wasn't really trying. I'm sure 194 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: a lot of you use that that. It's like one 195 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: of my huge things that I do. I will deliberately 196 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: not put effort into something, but still like kind of 197 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: do it. And so when it flops or fails, I'm like, oh, 198 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: well that makes sense, And it's such a big shadow 199 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: of mine because I get to hide behind it, I 200 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: get to not move, I get to be okay being subpar, 201 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: and you know, all those sorts of things. So that 202 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: went often a bit of a tangent of all my 203 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: own shit. But I just wanted to give you an example. 204 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: I think the first thing is just being really really 205 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: honest about like what could you be benefiting from not 206 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: having clarity? Doesn't mean you're more comfortable? Does it mean 207 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: you get too plain about things? Like you know what 208 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: I said about the scenario with your mum or your sister. 209 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: It's like, do you get to constantly have that conversation 210 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: of like, oh, but I'm not sure what I'm going 211 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: to do. I don't I'm not sure what's next. I'm confused, 212 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: Like we actually get hormones, we get dope. Mean when 213 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: we get too winch and complain, that's why a lot 214 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: of us do it. So it's like, is that you 215 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: get to stay in this like damsel distress story? So 216 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: I think like the first thing is just being very 217 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: honest of like what are you benefiting from not moving forward? 218 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: Like me, I'm benefiting from not trying as hard as 219 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: I know I could in certain aspects because if it 220 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: flops or fails, I don't have to be disappointed. So 221 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: that's how I benefit from that, And for my ego, 222 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: that feels better because it's more comfortable. The next thing 223 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: that you could really think about to overcome. This is 224 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: when something pops up because guys, like your brain is 225 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: so intelligent that it is giving you solutions all the time. 226 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: Like it's just it's how we are wired. If you 227 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: are squashing it or saying no, I'm confused, no, I 228 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: don't have clarity. I guarantee you it's because limiting beliefs 229 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: are there and you really need to look at them 230 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: and change them into a core belief. So, like I 231 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: was saying with you know the content of like, well, 232 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: if I post the content I want, I'm going to 233 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: be criticized. That is a limiting belief. I don't actually 234 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: even really have evidence for that. So what limiting beliefs 235 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: are coming up? And how can you change that to 236 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: a core belief in the work that I do. Limiting 237 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: beliefs are beliefs that limit you clearly, and we all 238 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: have them. Limiting beliefs can feel like truths, but they're 239 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: not truths, but they do usually have evidence. So we 240 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: often have limiting beliefs because there's like something that happened 241 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: in a previous scenario that made us believe that. It's like, 242 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: for example, this is a very like blanket one. But 243 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: it's like if your dad wasn't around when you grew up, 244 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: you might have a belief that it's like men don't 245 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: show up, and it's because you have evidence that was 246 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: your experience. So to you that feels like, no, that's truth, 247 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: like that's how it is, but it's not actually truth 248 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: because we know there's a lot of men who do 249 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: show up who are amazing dads. But that is your experience. 250 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: But that would cause you to have limiting beliefs around 251 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: then maybe future partners or bosses or you know what not. 252 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: Basically think of it. Limiting beliefs give us biases and 253 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: it's like, well I can't do this because of that, 254 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: So just be conscious of your limiting beliefs. Again, I 255 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: probably explained to that very quickly, and I do whole 256 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: courses on this. It is very deep work. So just 257 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: notice the limiting belief and when I say change it 258 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: to a core belief, it's just flipping what that app is. 259 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: So for example that I'm going to be criticized if 260 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: I create content and the core belief, you know, it 261 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: could be an opposite belief of the more authentic I 262 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: am on social media and the more authentic content I 263 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: put out the more popular I become, and that's the 264 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: core belief. It's the opposite. And so that's what I 265 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: really want you to do, is like notice the limiting 266 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: beliefs around your lack of clarity and then start changing them. 267 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: And see because even saying that core belief, I had 268 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: a reaction my body where I'm like, oh, yeah, like 269 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: I even know that I actually have evidence of that 270 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: core belief. So what you need to do with the 271 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: core belief so it is like you do need to 272 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: believe it. So it's like you constantly journal on it, 273 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: you write it down, and you get it to the 274 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: point where your ego can grab it and be like, Okay, 275 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: that is a new core belief that does feel safe, 276 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: and that's when you'll notice the clarity you know, coming 277 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: through and the confusion lifting. So guys, that's again I 278 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: just feel like that's something a lot of people don't 279 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: think about when they think they're stuck or they don't 280 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: have clarity. I wanted to talk about, you know, some 281 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: other things that might you know, be the shadow effect 282 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: of confusion and not having clarity. They're the two things 283 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: of like perfectionism and thinking that you need to know everything. 284 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: I honestly believe us as humans we have this thing 285 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: where we're like, but just tell me it's gonna work out, 286 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: and then I'll do the thing. Like I said before, 287 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: it's like, well, just tell me if I put in 288 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: a lot of effort, it's gonna succeed, and then I'll 289 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: put in a lot of effort. But it's not how 290 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: it works. You need to release the need to know everything. 291 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: And this is coming from someone who was previously absolute 292 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: control freak in everything I did and also huge perfectionists. 293 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: So like, releasing the need to know everything is so 294 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: important because I guarantee you you're like, I hate my job, 295 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: I hate what I'm doing, but I'm not clear on 296 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: what i want. Like I said, I'm sure you know 297 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: what time you want to wake up, how you want 298 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: to feel around the people that you want to work with, 299 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: how you want to feel with clients, how you want 300 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: to feel during your day, Like you would know those, 301 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: but there would be things that you don't know, like 302 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: maybe the exact job. Maybe you know if you'll be 303 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: good at it, like those sorts of things that would 304 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: keep you in the well. I'm not going to take 305 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: action because I don't know, a bit left field here, 306 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: but like with manifestation, like surrendering with manifestation, your manifestation 307 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: and being the you know this or something better, I'm 308 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: going to let the universe guide me. I'm going to 309 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: surrender is like the biggest block that most people have 310 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: with manifestations because it's like ordering, you know, an Amazon parcel, 311 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: and then once you order it, like instantly going to 312 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: the door and like looking for the postman even though 313 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: you know you ordered it, you clicked it, You've ordered 314 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: a thousand items before, and you know it's going to come, 315 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: but it's like you're constantly checking the door, you're checking 316 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: the order, You're like checking, oh, where's the postman now? 317 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: Like you can imagine your experience during that time compared 318 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: to if you just shop and then you wait for 319 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: it to rock up and then you go do something 320 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: else and then it rocks up and you're like, oh, 321 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: it's here, amazing. And I think most of us do 322 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: get stuck in this confusion or lack of clarity because 323 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: we don't know, so we choose to stay frozen. That 324 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: feels better to us. And again it's like in the unknown, 325 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: could you thrive in the unknown? Could you actually figure 326 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: out something that It's like, oh my god, I never 327 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: thought in a million years my life could look like 328 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: this or this could happen, or I could meet this 329 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: person or et cetera, et cetera, and it could turn 330 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: out like better than you could have imagined because you 331 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: have released this need to know everything and have everything 332 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: figured out and let go of like the perfectionism of like, well, 333 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: I need the perfect answer now again. Going back to 334 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: my story with my partnerships manager this morning, I need 335 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: again I'm laughing, but it's like I need like a 336 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: posting schedule, I need like blah blah blah. And she's like, Georgia, 337 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: that's literally the opposite. She's like, maybe if you were 338 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: a first time creator and you needed some sort of guidance, 339 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: but she's like, you've literally been doing this for eight years. 340 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: You know what content you like filming, you know what 341 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: you know your audience responds to. You know, like you 342 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: don't like, you don't need that. That again, is like 343 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: a crutch. That's like a thing. It's like, well, I 344 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: need this in order to get there, or I need 345 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: this in order to have that. It's like a distraction. Yeah, 346 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: let me figure this thing out here first, which actually 347 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It keeps us small, it keeps us stuck, 348 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: it keeps us unclear. And also, if we're talking about 349 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things, I have done so 350 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: many things in my life which hasn't been the thing. 351 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: Like when I finished my law degree, sorry I finished 352 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: up in my like corporate law job. I didn't get 353 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: stuck and like, oh, I'm not sure, I don't know 354 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. I really was like, well, let's 355 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: just see what happens. And I tried a whole bunch 356 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: of things. I created like a food eat book. I 357 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: went on like a couple of like I went on 358 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: a gym shark influencer trip, you know. I did a 359 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: whole bunch of things, started doing YouTube differently. I did 360 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things that I wasn't like, this 361 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: has to be the thing, this has to be the 362 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: end goal. But it was like trying things. And then 363 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: what eventuated is my life now, which is naked harvest 364 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: and rise and conquer and really feeling like so secure 365 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: and certain in who I am and what I do. 366 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: But I had to like move, I had to figure 367 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: some things out. I had to like get to know myself, 368 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: I had to discover things. So I think there is 369 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: such a power in not having it all figured out 370 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: and not having the exact three step formula and not 371 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: letting the confusion and clarity get to that's even like 372 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: I have a girlfriend and she always has these incredible plans. 373 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: She has like a service based business, and she always 374 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: has these incredible plans to like make extra money or 375 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: like kind of scale them, so she's not using her 376 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: time for money, and you know, whether it's like courses 377 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: or like you know, certain things she could do in 378 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: her business. But again, it's always like she has this 379 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: idea and then it's like, oh, but I'm not sure 380 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: if it's gonna work out, and then like she never actions. 381 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: And it was interesting because we were talking about something 382 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: and I was like, wait, haven't you been talking about 383 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: that since like COVID And she's like, oh, yeah, I know, 384 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: but it's like she's only just taking the action. 385 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 2: Now, and I'm like, godfriend, like I've probably failed three 386 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 2: businesses in that time, Like just start just it doesn't 387 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: actually have to because. 388 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: That's the thing is it might be a total flop. 389 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: I heard this really great quote and it was like, 390 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: if you knew you were three failures from like the 391 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: million dollar business or like the dream life or the Dreamman, 392 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: like three dates or blah blah blah, how fast would 393 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: you fail? How fast would you take action? You absolutely would, 394 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't give two fucks. So it's like, why 395 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: are we not just taking action? And I feel like 396 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: the whole I'm confused, I'm uncertain. It is this place 397 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: where we get to lean into it and we get 398 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 1: to stay stuck and stay frozen and complain about like, 399 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: oh well I'm not certain, so I'm not going to move. 400 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: And again it just it keeps us small, it keeps 401 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: us stuck, and I really feel like if you don't 402 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: play into it, it's not your reality. So again this morning, 403 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you're right, like I'm not stuck. 404 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: I know exactly what i want to do with my 405 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: social media and I'm gonna do it. I don't have 406 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: to have a twelve month social media plan. I just 407 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: get to be like, no, I am actually clear, I 408 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: do know what I actually do, and even that like 409 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: telling myself, I'm actually like telling my ego, I'm telling 410 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: my subconscious brain and it will be rewiring pathways to 411 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,719 Speaker 1: make that happen. We actually don't realize how much power 412 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: we have over things like clarity. The whole confusion thing 413 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: is a state of mind, but clarity is a state 414 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: of mind you get to actually pick. Trust me, I'm 415 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: saying this with so much love. I know those feelings 416 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: you feel they are real, and I'm not saying they're 417 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: not real. I'm just saying, can you lean into the 418 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: possibility that you feel comfortable? What are you gaining by that? 419 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: That's like the best thing I did last year was 420 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 1: any time that I was in a state of mind 421 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: where it felt like you know, negative or starkle, just 422 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: like not good. I'm like, actually, what am I gaining 423 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: from being in this? And that was always secondhand gain, 424 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: which is basically just like it's almost like the gain 425 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: that you're not proud of. It's the well when I complain, 426 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: I get sympathy from my mom. Growing up, my mom 427 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: would be you know, I'd be like, oh, you know, 428 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: the girls at school are like teasing me about this 429 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: or whatnot, and she's like, oh, baby, come here, you're 430 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: the best, You're so you're so pretty. And so that 431 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: is me getting secondhand gain because it's not actually good 432 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: that you know, people are teasing me and I feel 433 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: like crap. But I get sympathy from my mom. I 434 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: get love from my mom. So do you see how 435 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: that is secondhand gain? And so my subconscious, who loves 436 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: being comfortable, who loves love, is like, this is perfect. 437 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: We get to stay here. So again, just really being honest, 438 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: really checking with ourselves. This is all self inquiry stuff, guys. 439 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: This is stuff I try to constantly do because everything 440 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: is a mindset game. Everything is you hacking your own brain. 441 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: So I wanted to bring these to light because again, 442 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: I feel like this has really got me thinking about 443 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: it a couple of things, and if you are feeling 444 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: stuck or uncertain, this might be something to think about. 445 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: I love you guys so much. I hope you're having 446 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: an amazing start to the year, and I will chat 447 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: to you soon. Bye, Lustrous Christi
