Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: your host, Georgie Stevenson. I am a lawyer and health coach,
Speaker 1: social media influencer, wife, and dog mum. On the Rise
Speaker 1: and Conquer Podcast, we dive deep into all things mindset, habits, career, health,
Speaker 1: relationships and more. This is a podcast for women who
Speaker 1: want to rise up to be the best version of themselves,
Speaker 1: who have big dreams in who are willing to put
Speaker 1: in the work to get there. I want to bring
Speaker 1: you the tools and actionable steps to feel confident in yourself,
Speaker 1: inspired to take bold action, and motivated to conquer your goals.
Speaker 1: Are you with me? Girl friends, Let's rise and conquer.
Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome to another episode of the Rise
Speaker 1: and Conquer Podcast. I'm pretty sure this would be the
Speaker 1: first episode of twenty twenty, which is just crazy that
Speaker 1: we are going into a new decade. But I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: I love this time of year. There's so much like
Speaker 1: fresh energy and motivation and you start looking at your
Speaker 1: goals and shaping new goals and yeah, I'm just very excited.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to chat today just about something that
Speaker 1: I have been thinking about a lot and it's something
Speaker 1: that I did, especially a couple of years ago, that
Speaker 1: really shaped the person I am now and really helps
Speaker 1: me achieve who I want to be and achieve my goals.
Speaker 1: So this could be a really amazing tool for you
Speaker 1: guys for twenty twenty. And before I get into it,
Speaker 1: I do want to touch on living in the past,
Speaker 1: because I know sometimes you know, it's a new year,
Speaker 1: we have these new goals, but then our mind is
Speaker 1: constantly like reverting back to things that happened previously, whereas
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's something that you wish you did differently,
Speaker 1: or obsessing of you wish you did something sooner. But
Speaker 1: I wanted to remind you that that gets you absolutely nowhere,
Speaker 1: and we can waste so much of our energy living
Speaker 1: in the past, which is something that we can't control.
Speaker 1: It's been and it's done, Whereas our future is something
Speaker 1: we can control and we can be putting in new
Speaker 1: energy to really create the future we want. So just
Speaker 1: a little something to touch on at the start is
Speaker 1: make sure that you are putting time and energy into
Speaker 1: your future self and not giving too much thought into
Speaker 1: your previous self. So you know, if something really bad
Speaker 1: happened in twenty nineteen, or maybe it's just you didn't
Speaker 1: get done what you wanted to get done or something
Speaker 1: like that. Don't waste too much time thinking about it,
Speaker 1: and let's get straight into putting energy into your future self.
Speaker 1: So every single day our thoughts are really shaping our
Speaker 1: future self, and every single day our actions are either
Speaker 1: you know, setting us up for who we want to
Speaker 1: be and what we want, or really they're sabotaging us.
Speaker 1: And when we really realize that, you know, we don't
Speaker 1: have control over everything in our life, but we do
Speaker 1: have control of who we are and how we show
Speaker 1: up and handle things. So I want to talk about
Speaker 1: the power of visualization. So I use a number of tools.
Speaker 1: If you have me on Instagram, I like journaling and meditation.
Speaker 1: I have to do lists, I have a vision board,
Speaker 1: like I have a lot going on that I am
Speaker 1: really all about, you know, goals and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But our tool that is really powerful and I don't
Speaker 1: talk too much about, is visualization. So I remember when
Speaker 1: I was working the corporate I was working in a
Speaker 1: law firm, and at this stage it was six months
Speaker 1: before I had left and gone off and done my
Speaker 1: own thing. And at this stage, I had kind of
Speaker 1: decided in my mind that I was going to leave,
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to stay there anymore. But I
Speaker 1: was just about to finish my pot and get admitted
Speaker 1: as a lawyer, and so I just wanted to see
Speaker 1: that out. So I was going to stay there. And
Speaker 1: I remember so the trip in, I used to catch
Speaker 1: the bus in and it was forty minutes each way,
Speaker 1: and majority of the bus ride I would spend time visualizing.
Speaker 1: And when I say visualizing, it's kind of more daydreaming,
Speaker 1: but with intent. So I would visualize about the person
Speaker 1: the woman I wanted to be when I had quit
Speaker 1: that job and I was doing my own thing, and
Speaker 1: I didn't focus too much on how I would get there,
Speaker 1: but I was really visualizing, like in the future, everything
Speaker 1: was set up and who I wanted to be. So
Speaker 1: I would visualize having this amazing team around me. And
Speaker 1: at this point, I hadn't even, you know, had the
Speaker 1: idea about Naked Harvest or even this podcast, which are
Speaker 1: my crew biggest things in my life projects. And that's
Speaker 1: what I mean, like I don't get stuck too much
Speaker 1: on like the small details, but I just had this
Speaker 1: vision that I was doing something important I was doing
Speaker 1: something really passionate, and I had this amazing team around me.
Speaker 1: I would literally imagine the whole day. So I would
Speaker 1: imagine waking up without an alarm, but my body clock
Speaker 1: would wake me up, and then I would spend a
Speaker 1: good hour doing my morning routine, which would include like
Speaker 1: you know, a workout or walking the dogs in the
Speaker 1: sun and having my coffee and meditating and journaling. And
Speaker 1: that's because at that point, I was starting work at
Speaker 1: seven thirty, So I was leaving my house every morning
Speaker 1: at like I swear, six thirty or something like that,
Speaker 1: and so I had little time to do my morning
Speaker 1: routine and it was something big to me. So I
Speaker 1: would really visualizing having enough time to really like do
Speaker 1: my morning routine, which is something I love. I would
Speaker 1: visualize really feeling fulfilled about what I was doing. I
Speaker 1: would even visualize, you know, little details like because I
Speaker 1: was working corporate, and those of you who work corporate, like,
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta wear these like corporate outfits, Like
Speaker 1: I'd always be wearing this pencil skirt with a shirt,
Speaker 1: and I would be wearing keels because we'd be going
Speaker 1: to court a lot, and it was so uncomfortable and
Speaker 1: I'd have my hair in this fun and so I
Speaker 1: would visualize, you know, like working my pajamas most days,
Speaker 1: or like working comfy clothes and taking an hour and
Speaker 1: being able to cook myself a yummy, nutritious lunch, whereas
Speaker 1: I'd always have to prepare my lunch. So like little
Speaker 1: things about how I wanted my life to change. So
Speaker 1: I was really happy and fulfilled. So I spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time visualizing that person who she was, all
Speaker 1: the little details, long before I even quit my job.
Speaker 1: And now looking back, it's really funny because the life
Speaker 1: that I was visualizing, even though so many details I
Speaker 1: could not even like comprehend, it is so similar. And
Speaker 1: I am pretty much that person that I was visualizing
Speaker 1: like two years ago, which is it's crazy, but it's
Speaker 1: something that I really believe in. This podcast is brought

Speaker 1: Naked Harvest supplement this morning, and so far I am

Speaker 1: the discount codes and links in the show notes. Now
Speaker 1: let's get straight back into the episode. So I want
Speaker 1: you guys to start thinking about First of all, start
Speaker 1: thinking about your goals and what you want to achieve
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. And then once you've got that figured out,
Speaker 1: I actually have a goal kind of like planning podcasts,
Speaker 1: which I might actually replay otherwise. I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 1: just like episode one, so you can go back and
Speaker 1: listen to it if you want some more advice on
Speaker 1: actually creating goals. But once you have that figured out,
Speaker 1: I want you to start really visualizing who the person
Speaker 1: is once you achieve those goals. So usually we wait
Speaker 1: to achieve our goals to feel a certain way or
Speaker 1: to show up as a certain person. So basically, I
Speaker 1: want you to to start envisioning yourself as who you
Speaker 1: want to show up as in twenty twenty. And I'm
Speaker 1: talking about once you have achieved your twenty twenty goal,
Speaker 1: what does that person look like, how does that person act,
Speaker 1: what does she wear, what are the little habits she does?
Speaker 1: And I want you to start visualizing that person because
Speaker 1: when you are visualizing, you are vibrating at that energy
Speaker 1: of that person of achieving that goal, and then you
Speaker 1: start attracting that goal. So, for example, if you're constantly
Speaker 1: thinking about how much you hate your job or how
Speaker 1: much you hate something in your life, it is very
Speaker 1: negative and you are focusing on the negative aspects instead
Speaker 1: of focusing on who you want to be and the
Speaker 1: positive aspects. So once you get clear on who you
Speaker 1: want to be, I challenge you to start showing up
Speaker 1: as that person now. So often we say to us
Speaker 1: we will change how we are once we get to
Speaker 1: where we want. So, for example, if you want a
Speaker 1: job promotion, you'll feel more fulfilled and happy, but you're
Speaker 1: waiting for that promotion to have those feelings, Whereas, why
Speaker 1: can't you start feeling those feelings and showing up as
Speaker 1: that person who got the job promotion. Or you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you're waiting to get engaged, you're waiting for this
Speaker 1: ring to feel more secure in your relationship. Why don't
Speaker 1: you start acting like you already have that. Or even
Speaker 1: maybe you have a weight loss goal or a body goal,
Speaker 1: or you want to build muscle and you're waiting for
Speaker 1: that to love your body, why don't you start loving
Speaker 1: your body now and really showing up as a person
Speaker 1: who has achieved that goal and see how you feel.
Speaker 1: So I know this might be hard, but trust me
Speaker 1: when I say this works. For example, when I was
Speaker 1: working in the law firm and doing my degree. So
Speaker 1: this is probably halfway through my degree. At this point,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that I wanted to do something else.
Speaker 1: I wasn't passionate about anything else, and I was very
Speaker 1: clear that I wanted to be a solicitor, like I
Speaker 1: was doing my law degree. And this is before I
Speaker 1: even did any self development or anything. I think my
Speaker 1: mind has always kind of worked like this. But my
Speaker 1: goal was to be a solicitor, and I was a
Speaker 1: law grad, and so what I started doing, I started
Speaker 1: showing up as if I was a solicitor. And I
Speaker 1: don't mean like I was telling people I was a solicitor,
Speaker 1: but little things like I noticed all the solicitors that
Speaker 1: were really hard working, so they would stay late, they'd
Speaker 1: work through lunch, and so I would be staying late.
Speaker 1: I'd be working through lunch. I would wear heels, like
Speaker 1: I knew a lot of the law grads war flats,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to wear heels because most of the
Speaker 1: solicitors wore heels. Like that's such a small detail, but
Speaker 1: it really made me feel like I was showing up
Speaker 1: and up leveling. And so basically I would like act
Speaker 1: and dress and show up as what like the goal
Speaker 1: I wanted, and I remember seeing a huge difference in
Speaker 1: my performance, and even I remember my boss noticing and
Speaker 1: obviously I didn't even like go on. Well, I did
Speaker 1: become a slister, but even though my goal changed, I
Speaker 1: noticed such a difference in myself. So if you are
Speaker 1: currently thinking about your twenty twenty goals and you think, Okay,
Speaker 1: once they happen, I'm going to feel a certain way,
Speaker 1: or I'll start showing up as a certain person, I
Speaker 1: really challenge you to start doing that now. So start
Speaker 1: thinking about how would that person dress, Maybe you need
Speaker 1: a closet overhaul, or you know, how would that person
Speaker 1: show up in this situation? How would that person treat
Speaker 1: other people? Maybe you struggle with always being late and
Speaker 1: it's simply being on time and that is showing up
Speaker 1: for you. Or maybe you lose your cool really easily
Speaker 1: and you tend to snap at others, and maybe you
Speaker 1: being more patient is showing up as that person. So
Speaker 1: really start thinking about how you can start showing up
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty as the woman you want to be
Speaker 1: or sorry person if you're a male, start thinking about
Speaker 1: the person you want to be in twenty twenty and
Speaker 1: start showing up as them now. Like I know it,
Speaker 1: it's very simple, but I really love this exercise guys,
Speaker 1: and trust me, it helps start visualizing and showing up
Speaker 1: as the person you want to be in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: It is that simple. I'm sorry I keep repeating myself.
Speaker 1: So to finish the episode, I wanted to do a
Speaker 1: couple of journaling prompts that may help you just get
Speaker 1: more clear on visualization and who you want to be
Speaker 1: showwing up in twenty twenty. So write these down, come
Speaker 1: back to them. I'll put them actually in the show notes.
Speaker 1: If you go to my website which is just Georgie
Speaker 1: Stevenson dot net, and then you find this episode in
Speaker 1: the podcast tab. I'll make sure these prompts in the
Speaker 1: show notes so you can go there too. So start
Speaker 1: thinking about who do I want to be in twenty twenty?
Speaker 1: What goals do I want to accomplish? Then ask yourself,
Speaker 1: am I currently showing up as that person who would
Speaker 1: achieve those goals? What habits or changes could I make
Speaker 1: to show up as that person I want to be?
Speaker 1: And what habits can I let go of that are
Speaker 1: not serving me and that will help me show up
Speaker 1: as that person, and then the very last one. What
Speaker 1: am I excited about showing up as this person? So
Speaker 1: that's just a really simple exercise, guys, but I promise
Speaker 1: you can make such a big impact. Visualizing really put
Speaker 1: you on the vibration frequency of who you want to be,
Speaker 1: and that attracts that goal or that person. So it's
Speaker 1: really really important. I am going to love you and
Speaker 1: leave you. Thank you so much for listening. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've heard this announcement, but we will be
Speaker 1: taking a mini break for the Rise and Conquer podcast
