Speaker 1: It's just so cool the fact that we've all done
Speaker 1: it in January, well most of us, and we're going
Speaker 1: to do it again and just like see that evolution
Speaker 1: of ourselves, which I do get into in this episode,
Speaker 1: but before we get into the show a tire.
Speaker 4: How's your week being pretty good?
Speaker 2: Not bad?
Speaker 3: I what do I do? I went to a comedy
Speaker 3: show on the weekend, which was really fun. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: who did you say, Michael McIntyre.
Speaker 4: I don't know that.
Speaker 3: I think you'd know his face. He was just so
Speaker 3: funny and I literally spent two hours crying. He was
Speaker 3: that funny. I did not stop crying every joke. I
Speaker 3: was just like laughing so much. And it's so nice
Speaker 3: to go to a comedian that like doesn't take life
Speaker 3: too seriously. Like it wasn't any controversial topics. It was
Speaker 3: just really lighthearted humor.
Speaker 2: That's nice. Yeah, how good is laughing? I know, it's
Speaker 2: just so.
Speaker 3: I was like, I wish I could just do this
Speaker 3: every week because it's just so therapeutic, and like everyone
Speaker 3: in there was so happy and laughing and oh so nice.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's incredible.
Speaker 3: I love that for you, and it was the Entertainment Center.
Speaker 3: So that was literally like fifteen thousand people just laughing
Speaker 3: there ourselves.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what like what good vibes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what a cool.
Speaker 4: Frequency to be in.
Speaker 3: Highly recommend How about you? How was your week?
Speaker 2: So good?
Speaker 1: Me and Tim had a little stay ca this week,
Speaker 1: so it was really cute. We never do it and
Speaker 1: it kind of just like worked out that we'd take
Speaker 1: it during the week and yeah, it like his parents looked.
Speaker 2: After Ivy and it was just so nice. I think.
Speaker 1: A big thing and this is actually I remember writing
Speaker 1: this when I was doing you know, my goals and
Speaker 1: how I wanted my year to look like when we
Speaker 1: would do it for your future self in jan and
Speaker 1: a big thing was for me and Tim to have
Speaker 1: time together either like a week and away or just.
Speaker 2: Like date nights.
Speaker 1: That was such a huge thing for us, and to
Speaker 1: make sure it was monthly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so we.
Speaker 1: Actually, like I look back and I'm so proud of
Speaker 1: filling up that bucket and doing that because I feel
Speaker 1: like we've really stuck to either going away or doing
Speaker 1: date nights and it's been so incredible for our relationship.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because sometimes I like think back, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I think me and Tim are so much closer now
Speaker 1: than even like when we were, you know, before Ivy,
Speaker 1: because we've kind of had to be like you've had
Speaker 1: to be so predictive with that time together, yeah, and
Speaker 1: really carve it out and fight for it. So it's
Speaker 1: made us so much more I guess just.
Speaker 3: Like you value it.
Speaker 5: Valued.
Speaker 2: Yes, such a good word. And it's just it's really.
Speaker 1: Cool to look back and be like, yeah, I've really
Speaker 1: made that a priority and that was something I wanted
Speaker 1: to do. Like Tim and Ivy were my biggest priorities
Speaker 1: and my biggest goals for twenty twenty three. And I
Speaker 1: can like confidently say I was, like I've done.
Speaker 3: That a hundred Yeah, you definitely have.
Speaker 1: That is like, and it's it's just really nice because
Speaker 1: you know, as a as a mum who also works
Speaker 1: full time and has a lot on That was something
Speaker 1: that I remember saying to Tim at the start of
Speaker 1: the year. I just don't want to get through life
Speaker 1: and look back and just think, fuck, I wasn't present
Speaker 1: during my life. Like I had a good life, but
Speaker 1: I almost didn't live it because I wasn't present. And
Speaker 1: I can be so forward thinking, and I can really
Speaker 1: live for future things, and I can be so driven
Speaker 1: and I can be so forward thinking, and obviously that
Speaker 1: has got me to places and that's an amazing skill.
Speaker 2: But also you can miss.
Speaker 1: Out on life a bit, and you can. I'm the
Speaker 1: person who I'm happy to forfeit pleasure right now to
Speaker 1: have something in the future, which again that has served me.
Speaker 1: But then also sometimes I go without right now a bit.
Speaker 2: Then it's like right.
Speaker 3: Now is all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's been one of my biggest things that
Speaker 1: I have had a realization of and being like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be forty and have this realization.
Speaker 1: I want to have it now and actually do something
Speaker 1: about it. So I feel really proud that that was
Speaker 1: one of my biggest priorities and one of my biggest
Speaker 1: AHA moments. And I truly feel like I have honored
Speaker 1: and valued that.
Speaker 3: I love that Timuch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so my week was good. Anyway, let's get in the.
Speaker 1: Episode, all right, So let's get straight into it. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if you want a full in depth audit, fully like
Speaker 1: I need my energy back, I need to get unstuck.
Speaker 1: You're going to do the do a few future self god,
Speaker 1: So let's just be honest. Only it's only seven days,
Speaker 1: and oh my god, the clarity and the focus that
Speaker 1: you're going to unlock from this. Just look at the
Speaker 1: testimonies from the start of the year. It is incredible.
Speaker 1: But let's just touch on some thing sitia. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: and this is really coming from a personal space of
Speaker 1: I think it can get mid year and we can
Speaker 1: be maybe a little bit upset with ourselves if we
Speaker 1: go and check our original goals in January, or we
Speaker 1: can just feel a little bit behind, like time has
Speaker 1: gone in the way. Maybe we weren't a focused as
Speaker 1: we thought. Other people are ahead. All these thoughts and
Speaker 1: downloads of doubt and.
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't even reached my goal. All those
Speaker 2: sorts of things come in and of course, and I
Speaker 2: think this is very normal. A lot of people feel this, though,
Speaker 2: and they just feel like shame and guilt and like
Speaker 2: those feelings.
Speaker 1: I personally also feel this, but I use this as
Speaker 1: such a great This just means I need to check
Speaker 1: in with myself and I need to realign.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get the same when it gets to the
Speaker 3: middle of the year, and it's almost like a bit
Speaker 3: of disappointment in that me at the beginning of the year,
Speaker 3: when you have that strong New year energy, all the
Speaker 3: good vibes and every excited You're so excited, and it's
Speaker 3: almost like that reality of like six months have passed,
Speaker 3: you had this list, what if you actually worked towards yet? Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh.
Speaker 1: So instead of feeling like that, though, I think this
Speaker 1: is a really exciting time.
Speaker 2: To check in with yourself and being like.
Speaker 1: How do I need to realign? Because all that has
Speaker 1: happened is you're here.
Speaker 2: Wait you can't see me ins a podcast for the video.
Speaker 1: You know you're here at the start of the year
Speaker 1: and you have this goal over here. Yeah, you kind
Speaker 1: of go a little bit to the left, and that's fine.
Speaker 1: All you need to do is realign because amazing thing
Speaker 1: about humans is we do change, we do evolve, and
Speaker 1: maybe the end goal isn't what we thought or what
Speaker 1: we actually wanted, and maybe we needed to go through
Speaker 1: this six months of little hurdles of little nudgets to
Speaker 1: be like, oh no, wait, I want to do this,
Speaker 1: or this actually feels really good for me, this is
Speaker 1: actually what I want. So the biggest thing I want
Speaker 1: to say first is do not go into shame and guilt,
Speaker 1: stay in awareness, and just be like, what has this
Speaker 1: last six months taught me? Where can I learn from myself?
Speaker 1: Because the worst thing you can do is compare yourself
Speaker 1: to other people? And I like, I love, I'm really
Speaker 1: like feeding into this saying right now where it's like,
Speaker 1: comparison is just distraction.
Speaker 4: I know it's slipe chaining.
Speaker 1: Comparison is just distraction. So I'm not fucking looking around.
Speaker 1: I'm not like, I'm not doing that because that's literally
Speaker 1: just distraction. I'm not sitting in shame and guilt. I'm like, cool,
Speaker 1: what have I learnt about myself? How can I refine myself?
Speaker 1: How can I you know, shift things? Because obviously what
Speaker 1: I have been doing maybe isn't getting me to where
Speaker 1: I want or I need to change this, or what
Speaker 1: have I learned about myself? I'm not gonna lie. I
Speaker 1: went back to my do It Few Future Self booklet
Speaker 1: and I read all over it and it was really
Speaker 1: incredible to see so much evidence of me achieving what
Speaker 1: I had set out to do and feel into, but
Speaker 1: also the parts of myself where I really went.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I've evolved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually in a different season. I probably jumped
Speaker 1: timelines and so I'm actually over here. So I know
Speaker 1: I had those goals that they actually don't make a
Speaker 1: lot of sense for me anymore.
Speaker 3: That literally happened with quite a few of my goals.
Speaker 3: When I looked back, I was like, oh gosh, like
Speaker 3: I don't even want this.
Speaker 2: Do you love that?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I look at that some goals. It's so funny because
Speaker 1: I used to have an iPad and I just didn't
Speaker 1: use it. I randomly bought it because I wanted to
Speaker 1: literally draw on it, and I just never used it.
Speaker 1: So I gave it to me ca our graphic design up.
Speaker 1: So I had to go on and reset it and
Speaker 1: I found myself.
Speaker 2: Because I had one of those pens.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and I used to.
Speaker 1: Write and it was I think it was twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: and it was actually the year I fell pregnant.
Speaker 2: So I think the goals I made in January there
Speaker 2: wasn't a lot.
Speaker 1: Of correlation because that was a moment we were trying
Speaker 1: to conceive. But I fully surrendered, and I feel it
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not even gonna go there. I'm going
Speaker 1: to focus on other things. And truly that's why I
Speaker 1: believe I manifest ot a pregnancy because I like finally surrendered. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I created other goals. But one of my goals
Speaker 1: was like run five gay and under thirty minutes. Just shit,
Speaker 1: like random shit.
Speaker 2: And I like, look, why would I even want to
Speaker 2: do that?
Speaker 1: But I like, I love that and put it on
Speaker 1: there because you could have seen like my mentality and
Speaker 1: like I did not.
Speaker 2: Do that because I'd really pregnant.
Speaker 1: But I love looking back. And this is why I'm
Speaker 1: so big on journaling and documenting your process. And this
Speaker 1: is like, this is why in doing it for your
Speaker 1: future self, I get you to write it all down
Speaker 1: because even if you have it accomplished or got to
Speaker 1: where you want to be, it's such like self reflection
Speaker 1: and self refinement is one of the greatest tools if
Speaker 1: you know actually how to utilize it. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: that's what I really did. And so that's something that
Speaker 1: you can sit down and think, Okay, as I created
Speaker 1: at the start of the year, maybe you didn't create goals.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're just like what I wanted at the start
Speaker 1: of the year or what I thought would happen. What's
Speaker 1: happening right now? Check in with yourself, how do I feel,
Speaker 1: do I still want the same things, and I'm still
Speaker 1: passionate about the same things. Where have I maybe lost passion?
Speaker 1: Where have I lost spark? Where do I want to.
Speaker 2: Add things on? Like literally, just sit down.
Speaker 1: And most of the people are listening to this, you're
Speaker 1: probably thinking, oh my god, this is so simple. But
Speaker 1: I trust me when I say, like, until you actually
Speaker 1: do it, you don't understand how life changing it is.
Speaker 1: And you'll sit down and you'll start journaling, or you'll
Speaker 1: have some proms and you're like, oh, wow, yeah that's
Speaker 1: what I want, or like I hadn't even like registered that,
Speaker 1: And but you've got to take time for yourself. You've
Speaker 1: got to sit down and refine because otherwise you're just
Speaker 1: on this hamster wheel and you're going going going, like
Speaker 1: to where.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so true, I got really.
Speaker 2: Passionate them, all right, So realign your energy. That's our
Speaker 2: biggest tip.
Speaker 1: The next thing is like, be very honest about what
Speaker 1: do you want the rest of the year to look like?
Speaker 1: And I'm talking six months, So six months is not
Speaker 1: a lot of time.
Speaker 3: No, especially the end of the year. I feel like
Speaker 3: halfway through November, after that you're pretty much a rider.
Speaker 2: You've basically got four months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not a lot of time. And what
Speaker 1: Jamie has been saying a really great quote lately that
Speaker 1: her mentor has told her, and it's most people overestimate
Speaker 1: what they can do in a year and underestimate what
Speaker 1: they can do in three.
Speaker 2: Whoa, and she's you know.
Speaker 1: She then goes on to explain, like, you've only got
Speaker 1: six months, but you like want to run a marathon.
Speaker 2: You want to run it. You know, like you've got
Speaker 2: to dose big things. And I think it's.
Speaker 1: Really important to be realistic. And yes, I'm a manifestation
Speaker 1: coach and I'm telling you to be realistic, but have
Speaker 1: a look at like, Okay, I've got six months, what's
Speaker 1: the one feeling I want? What's the one thing I
Speaker 1: want to feel, and what's going to match that? And
Speaker 1: don't create this big list of just like random things.
Speaker 1: Be very intentional and somewhat realistic with like what I
Speaker 1: want to do in six months, like what.
Speaker 2: Could that look like? And feel like.
Speaker 3: I almost say to myself, like who do I want
Speaker 3: to be at the start of next year?
Speaker 2: M that's powerful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I find that's a really good way to
Speaker 3: check in with myself of like how does me at
Speaker 3: the beginning of twenty twenty four, show up and use
Speaker 3: that to then almost re like re engineer backwards what
Speaker 3: I need to do now.
Speaker 1: I love that, Like, yeah, how do they show up?
Speaker 1: What habits do they have? And just start literally just
Speaker 1: basic ground. If you have a savings goal weekly, break
Speaker 1: that down into a habit or daily, break that down
Speaker 1: into a habit. Think about what your routines are like,
Speaker 1: and then try and habit stack your and create your
Speaker 1: new routine so that at the beginning of next year
Speaker 1: you've got that routine. I think like that much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: break it down into as small pieces as possible.
Speaker 3: And it's hard because it's almost delayed gratification because it
Speaker 3: is a very slow approach to making change. But you
Speaker 3: have six months, and if you break that down into weeks,
Speaker 3: it's like twenty four weeks. That's twenty four habits you
Speaker 3: can have by the twenty beginning of next year. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's I love that a tier.
Speaker 2: And it's not a lot of time, but it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's like it's a weird, unique piece
Speaker 1: of time. And I think especially because it is like
Speaker 1: when you think about it, in six months will be
Speaker 1: in a new year.
Speaker 2: Well close to a new year. Yeah, Like that's wild.
Speaker 2: So the next thing I want you to do, and
Speaker 2: this is.
Speaker 1: Really about coming back and connecting to yourself because again,
Speaker 1: I feel like this time of year, if you maybe
Speaker 1: aren't on the timeline you want, or haven't achieved half
Speaker 1: of what you want or that sort of thing you're
Speaker 1: not on track, people can really go into like shame
Speaker 1: and guilt and almost the well, I haven't got.
Speaker 2: To where I want, So what's the point?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll just start next year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just start next year.
Speaker 1: We've got six months and we're not doing that here, Like,
Speaker 1: come on, So I think to get out of that place,
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be hard for me to be like,
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to have some goals and this
Speaker 1: and that. So the place I want you to start
Speaker 1: is just getting really fucking grateful. So anytime you want
Speaker 1: to shift, it's like, obviously the highest vibration is gratitude.
Speaker 1: So whatever vibe you're in, I want you to think
Speaker 1: about the last six months and just think about what
Speaker 1: what are some actual really cool things Like maybe it
Speaker 1: hasn't been that great, but you've learned some great life
Speaker 1: is about yourself, Like maybe it's been a bit bumpy,
Speaker 1: but you're like, oh, wow, I've learnt this, or maybe
Speaker 1: it's even like I've learned what I don't want.
Speaker 2: If you get a really desperate yeah.
Speaker 1: But like most of the time, I truly believe this
Speaker 1: is what the universe does. It's like I can remember
Speaker 1: which episode we said this in a tear, and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you say you want this.
Speaker 2: Is such a good example.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you say you want to manifest you know
Speaker 1: the man and he's like all buff and sexy and
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever you're into.
Speaker 2: And then you manifest that man. But then he's like.
Speaker 1: He goes to the gym all the time, and he's never
Speaker 1: at home, and he's never at home and he it's
Speaker 1: really healthy, so you never get taken out for dinner
Speaker 1: and it makes feel shit about yourself and you're like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I don't actually want this man because it's not a vibe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the universe had to show you what you didn't want.
Speaker 1: So then like the next man who's like, maybe not
Speaker 1: like that, but he's like there's a really beautiful balance
Speaker 1: of what you want.
Speaker 2: You're like, yes, this is it. Because my fan sees
Speaker 2: out of the window because I realized.
Speaker 3: It's like it was silly so true.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying is like, use the last
Speaker 1: six months, like what lessons have I learned?
Speaker 2: What has the universe showed me? What I don't want?
Speaker 2: And how fucking epic is that? Like no time is wasted.
Speaker 1: You need to go through this life where you're learning
Speaker 1: different things and going through up ups and downs, and I.
Speaker 2: Truly believe they shape you.
Speaker 1: And like bad things happen, happening to you or not
Speaker 1: so great or not what you wanted, They're these beautiful
Speaker 1: experiences if you accept them.
Speaker 2: And allow them to realign you.
Speaker 1: So guys, get out of the victim mentality, get out
Speaker 1: of the poor me. I haven't achieved anything. We're not
Speaker 1: doing that here, we're doing What have I learned?
Speaker 2: What am I actually really grateful for?
Speaker 1: Like maybe you didn't get a career goal, but you
Speaker 1: made a really incredible friend, or you started a really
Speaker 1: incredible gym class that now has.
Speaker 2: Made you fall back in love with your movement.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like focusing on what actually has happened
Speaker 1: in the last six months and I'm really fucking proud
Speaker 1: of or even I remember me and a Tia were
Speaker 1: talking about how like the last six months she hasn't
Speaker 1: had any drama. Yeah, and she's like life has been
Speaker 1: pretty boring. But I said, you know, to the universe,
Speaker 1: I any wanty drama. So it actually makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense.
Speaker 2: Exactly, so you would sit in there.
Speaker 1: Oh, actually, this is really incredible because now I have
Speaker 1: evidence that there doesn't have to be drama. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I can actually sit in that. And that's actually I
Speaker 1: want that internal peace more than I do. I want
Speaker 1: a bit of you know, fun in so true drama
Speaker 1: I don't know, and gossip. Yeah, and that's what you've realized,
Speaker 1: and you know it's taking you six months, but you're
Speaker 1: like cool, amazing, put on the gratitude list.
Speaker 3: So a little things, the little things.
Speaker 1: And I have even noticed that just if I think
Speaker 1: back to the last six months, and even I looked
Speaker 1: at my FO Future Self book and I love how
Speaker 1: there's like I printed mine out and I really filled
Speaker 1: it in and I did all coloring and highlighting, and
Speaker 1: so it's like so fun to go back and look
Speaker 1: and like I said, so many parts I'm like cool,
Speaker 1: I fucking nailed that, and then other parts I'm like.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm a different person.
Speaker 1: I want different things, and I don't go oh, I
Speaker 1: didn't achieve what I want. I'm just like, that's really
Speaker 1: cool because I can actually see myself evolving and I
Speaker 1: can see an evolution and how cool is that?
Speaker 3: I do love that and that's I did mine on
Speaker 3: my iPad, but I still hand wrote it, and I
Speaker 3: went back and looked at vine and like a lot.
Speaker 3: I was shocked at how many of my goal I
Speaker 3: was like, I don't even care about this anymore, and
Speaker 3: also how many of them were made based on I guess,
Speaker 3: external circumstances that I thought I needed to do even
Speaker 3: though I was trying to make goals that I didn't
Speaker 3: think I should do, but they were still should and
Speaker 3: not once. Yes, and hindsight's a beautiful there it is
Speaker 3: it is. I was like, gosh, I've grown a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's really cool to be like, oh that
Speaker 1: was from a huge ego place. Yeah, and now I'm
Speaker 1: like I don't feel into that, and that's like such
Speaker 1: an evolution of itself.
Speaker 4: For like, oh, I don't even fuck with that anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So definitely, guys, sit in gratitude.
Speaker 1: You can be grateful for like anything, and the more
Speaker 1: grateful you are the better.
Speaker 2: Trust me on this, all right, guys, So the next
Speaker 2: thing I want you to.
Speaker 1: Do is check in with your buckets. So this is
Speaker 1: actually into it for your future self one of the days.
Speaker 1: So it obviously goes into a lot more. But the
Speaker 1: basis of this is Cooper actually brought this in in
Speaker 1: a podcast. Let's actually just snippet it to your so
Speaker 1: I don't have to explain it and they can get
Speaker 1: the vibe.
Speaker 3: Amazing.
Speaker 5: I have I think about seven metaphorically buckets in my life,
Speaker 5: and I prioritize what I have in my life and
Speaker 5: then so it's like kids, wife, business, adventures, holidays and
Speaker 5: those sorts of things. So I like to and I
Speaker 5: don't feel in flow.
Speaker 4: I like to have a look.
Speaker 5: At my buckets and see what's empty, and then I
Speaker 5: like to work on them. And then you prioritize until
Speaker 5: that bucket is nurtured.
Speaker 1: So what I want you guys to do is if
Speaker 1: you haven't done this exercize before, if you've done do
Speaker 1: it for your future self, you will actually check in
Speaker 1: and be like where am I lacking? Where do I
Speaker 1: need to make goals? But in a well rounded way,
Speaker 1: not just twelve carrier goals and like one fucking personal
Speaker 1: goal or like, you know, you've got all these goals
Speaker 1: that are not unrealistic, but you haven't made it in
Speaker 1: a well rounded way. And I think that's what's so
Speaker 1: beautiful about my goals. At the start of the year.
Speaker 1: It was a different way I had, like made goals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's funny because like I achieved a lot of
Speaker 1: my buckets that I don't don't usually make goals for,
Speaker 1: and I think it's because I actually had focus on
Speaker 1: them for the first time. I love that and that
Speaker 1: was really really cool to see. So guys, check on
Speaker 1: your buckets or you know, start doing your buckets if
Speaker 1: you don't, that's like one of our famous tricks from Cooper.
Speaker 2: Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: Okay, the last thing I want you to do is again,
Speaker 1: look what happened in the last six months and just
Speaker 1: decide what you're not available for anymore, so you know,
Speaker 1: instead of going, well, I like, I'm not clear on
Speaker 1: what I want again. If you want clarity, do they
Speaker 1: do it for your future self? Course, because it's incredible
Speaker 1: for clarity. But if you're like I don't know what
Speaker 1: I want, I don't know what to, you know, put
Speaker 1: my energy towards for the next six months. Is I
Speaker 1: bet you have an idea of what you don't want
Speaker 1: to do and what you're not available for and what
Speaker 1: hasn't served you in the last six months and what
Speaker 1: is a no? And this is actually something at the
Speaker 1: star out of the year, I was like, if it's
Speaker 1: not a hell, yes, it's a no.
Speaker 2: And I reckon, I've probably stuck to it eighty percent
Speaker 2: of the time.
Speaker 3: That's really that's a good percentage. Yeah, it's not amazing.
Speaker 2: No, but it's definitely not a hot word.
Speaker 1: And I can really I can see that, but like
Speaker 1: so much better then how I used to be. And
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of myself for that, and I think
Speaker 1: it's truly life changing when you're clear on what you're.
Speaker 2: Not available for and what's not serving you and you
Speaker 2: kind of being.
Speaker 1: I don't really believe in the world's selfish, but it's
Speaker 1: like you being like selfish on no, this is what
Speaker 1: I actually am going to accept and this is what
Speaker 1: I'm available for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do like that because I think half the
Speaker 3: time you'll say, I'll just do it this one time,
Speaker 3: but I need to make sure I put the boundary
Speaker 3: in next time, but it's like you need to start now. Yes,
Speaker 3: there's no next time, yes, and it's just this time exactly.
Speaker 2: So that's like a huge thing that I feel.
Speaker 1: I also feel like too midyear, you kind of to
Speaker 1: the point where you're like, you're not taking shit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have energy, you don't have the energy.
Speaker 1: I've got another six months and you're just you know,
Speaker 1: it's such a great time to lock into. Like I
Speaker 1: don't know, for me, this season feels very like internal
Speaker 1: and it feels like, oh, I'm like I've now gotten clear,
Speaker 1: I've had some lessons, I've achieved, some things I haven't achieved,
Speaker 1: some things I'm realizing like where I'm at, and I
Speaker 1: can really lock into what's serving me what's not and
Speaker 1: like let's go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how it feels to me.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: And then what I think I said the last one,
Speaker 1: but another last one. So again, guys, if you're listening
Speaker 1: to this and you're like, oh, I just I can't relate,
Speaker 1: Like I'm just like I'm not clear.
Speaker 3: Everything's foggy.
Speaker 1: Everything's foggy. My best thing to say is like disconnect
Speaker 1: to reconnect. So just like an iPhone, it's not working,
Speaker 1: it's glitching. You turn it off for a while, and
Speaker 1: then you turn it back on and she's good as new. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we are like that as humans. And if you're
Speaker 1: not feeling clarity, if you're like just not feeling the vibe,
Speaker 1: if you're like motivation is low, you're like not in
Speaker 1: the alignment.
Speaker 2: That you want.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you. Sometimes it's we're just so plugged in.
Speaker 1: We've got so many like energy cards to our work
Speaker 1: and our friends and this drama and that drama, and
Speaker 1: when you take some time to just disconnect, and like,
Speaker 1: for me personally, that has meant I can't really remember
Speaker 1: the last time I did like a social thing, yeah,
Speaker 1: like with friends or just like I've just spent so
Speaker 1: much time with like Tim and Ivy and doing like
Speaker 1: work stuff, and it's just such a season to me
Speaker 1: where if I do have spare time, there might be
Speaker 1: like you know, the random thing for someone's birthday, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but otherwise I'm spending time with myself because it really
Speaker 1: feels like a season that I'm like.
Speaker 2: Oh, I need to disconnect, to reconnect.
Speaker 1: And you know, if you can't take a weekend off
Speaker 1: social media or even a week, or if you can't
Speaker 1: take time to yourself, it's like, you know, can you
Speaker 1: find a bit more time for meditation, for no like
Speaker 1: no screen time, for a low time alone time, like
Speaker 1: can you take a Saturday off, don't take your phone
Speaker 1: and go to the beach or the forest or go
Speaker 1: on a walk and just disconnect. Because I truly believe like,
Speaker 1: if you're feeling overwhelmed, you're like, I don't know what
Speaker 1: to do and I've got no clarity and I should
Speaker 1: be doing.
Speaker 2: That symbol blah blahlah blah.
Speaker 1: You need to like cut some energy cords and you
Speaker 1: need to let go. And the thing is like the answer,
Speaker 1: the next step, the motivation, the you know, the thing
Speaker 1: you're looking for, the universe is like it's ready to
Speaker 1: give it to you. Yeah, but it's like trying to
Speaker 1: tell you, but you can't hear it because you're so
Speaker 1: caught up in your own thoughts or social media or
Speaker 1: what's happening to this person over there. And you need
Speaker 1: to get back to having that clear channel to the
Speaker 1: univers source whatever you want to like you know, talk
Speaker 1: about because you're getting intuitive downloads all the time, you're
Speaker 1: getting down like you're getting guided.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So if you feel.
Speaker 2: Unclear, it's you. The universe is not fucking mucking around.
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, I've been trying to tell you that
Speaker 2: many times you're so up in your head or you're
Speaker 2: so not connected to yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that you're you haven't got a clear channel, and
Speaker 1: that is your responsibility to be like cool, Can I
Speaker 1: actually clean my daily rituals up?
Speaker 2: Can I clean my weekenoud? Can I clean my energy up?
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be for a long amount of time,
Speaker 1: but it's like, if you're feeling like this, like I
Speaker 1: guarantee you clicked on this episode cause you're feeling like this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's time to clear that channel.
Speaker 3: I love that tip. I think that's so important and
Speaker 3: it's so interesting you say that because I think that's
Speaker 3: such a big thing. Is you need to disconnect so
Speaker 3: that you can be present and not stuck in your head.
Speaker 3: And it could even be as simple as booking in
Speaker 3: a long weekend maybe and using a data relax a
Speaker 3: day for self development and then a day to reset
Speaker 3: and just take it in small chunks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's so interesting because you know,
Speaker 1: everyone talks about feeling stark or not motivated, but it's
Speaker 1: like they'll just continue the exact same things they do
Speaker 1: on a daily and I'm like, bit, what do you
Speaker 1: mean You're expecting a different outcome? You're doing the exact
Speaker 1: same things. It's a definition of insanity. It's like, I
Speaker 1: want to feel motivated, I want to feel this, but
Speaker 1: like you're doing the exact same things.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, clearly something needs to change.
Speaker 3: Literally, that's something that I love from the do it
Speaker 3: for your Future self course, because I think I benefited
Speaker 3: most from like the routine audit. Ah love that's stay
Speaker 3: six so I'm pretty sure. Yeah, And it just like
Speaker 3: totally changed my because I was like, I kind of
Speaker 3: have routines, but neither of them actually aligned to any
Speaker 3: of my goals or how I see myself. And that's
Speaker 3: genuinely something that I've spent the last six months sort
Speaker 3: of slowly working on and I definitely am still working
Speaker 3: on it, but reflecting it where I was at the
Speaker 3: beginning of the year versus now I've already come so far.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love this, And even that's definitely something I've
Speaker 1: noticed with you a tear like, for example, would you
Speaker 1: thought at the start of the year, you'd be getting
Speaker 1: into work at like.
Speaker 4: Six point thirty.
Speaker 2: No tear is like the first one here. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 1: I love it when you start early and then I
Speaker 1: can get out early and I can do my things,
Speaker 1: and it's like, even looking at that, I've been like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, I've actually changed my daily routine. And again,
Speaker 1: I think it's sometimes there's this like separate thing of
Speaker 1: not realizing. The biggest thing to take away from this
Speaker 1: episode is like where you focus energy goes? Yeah, so currently,
Speaker 1: where are you focused? Like is your routine?
Speaker 2: Focus your goals? Is your mindset? Focus for your goals?
Speaker 1: Is the way that you know you talk to yourself
Speaker 1: internally focused for your goals, like do an audit of everything,
Speaker 1: because if things are all like jumbled and you're like.
Speaker 4: So weird, I'm not achieving my goals.
Speaker 2: It's like so weird, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: You know, like it does matter and it seems so simple,
Speaker 1: but we kind of just we need to do these audits.
Speaker 1: We need to go oh, okay, I remember now.
Speaker 3: I might end this reading a story that we had
Speaker 3: shared in the Facebook group from someone who did do
Speaker 3: it for your future self at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 4: Okay, amazing shower with us, so she.
Speaker 3: Said, this is a long one, so sorry in advance,
Speaker 3: but I did do it for your future self. At
Speaker 3: the beginning of the year. I'm also an RNC project Gal.
Speaker 3: We love that, and she said she got so clear
Speaker 3: on what her dream life is. Looking back at what
Speaker 3: she wrote, she's actually achieved almost everything she wrote down,
Speaker 3: including passing and graduating from my PhD. Officially adopted out,
Speaker 3: got offered. Yeah, how cool. Smarty pants got offered my
Speaker 3: dream job, which happened so unexpectedly. I've been there for
Speaker 3: a month now. Long story short, but I was unclear
Speaker 3: on what I wanted for my career post PhD. I
Speaker 3: had so many limiting beliefs about how hard it is
Speaker 3: to get stable employment in academia. Last year, out of
Speaker 3: the blue, I was approached for a position which logically
Speaker 3: and on paper seemed perfect. It offered me a lot
Speaker 3: of what I was looking for, but for some reason,
Speaker 3: it wasn't a hell yes for me. I had some
Speaker 3: other work commitments which would have made things challenging, but
Speaker 3: I just had a feeling that it wasn't right for me.
Speaker 3: So I followed my intuition and trusted that there was
Speaker 3: something coming that was right for me. After doing the
Speaker 3: do It for your Future Self course, I got really
Speaker 3: clear on who I wanted to show at, but show
Speaker 3: up as what I desired and what mattered most to
Speaker 3: me for my career bucket. I still remained unclear on
Speaker 3: what my dream job was, but I knew I wanted
Speaker 3: to feel super supported, be able to work from home.
Speaker 3: It lit me up, offered stability, and was relevant to
Speaker 3: my life's purpose. A couple of months ago, in a meeting,
Speaker 3: I connected with an acquaintance from UNI who was now
Speaker 3: working in the industry in a non academic position, and
Speaker 3: I thought, Oh, my gosh, how awesome is that. I
Speaker 3: had the thought to look at on their Twitter and
Speaker 3: see what they were doing since completing their PhD. I
Speaker 3: saw they were I saw they shared there was a
Speaker 3: job opening at their workplace. I clicked the link, turned
Speaker 3: out the job advertisement had expired. I then had this
Speaker 3: strong feeling to do a search and see what current
Speaker 3: job ads there were. One of the first job ads
Speaker 3: was for my dream workplace. I opened the ad and
Speaker 3: realized it was so fitting with me, so fitting for me,
Speaker 3: with my qualifications and experiences and literally ticked all of
Speaker 3: my boxes, so I applied for it. Several weeks went by,
Speaker 3: we went on a holiday, then then I got I
Speaker 3: hadn't heard anything, but trusted that life happens for me.
Speaker 3: First day back after having been sick, I got a
Speaker 3: phone call from the workplace saying they were still reviewing
Speaker 3: the applications for the job I'd applied for, but in
Speaker 3: doing so, they saw my application and it stood out
Speaker 3: to them. They thought I would be perfect for another
Speaker 3: position they wanted to fill but hadn't advertised it yet
Speaker 3: and wanted to know if I was interested. I was
Speaker 3: shocked but said yes, did an informal interview, and then
Speaker 3: the following week got offered the job. Have been in
Speaker 3: the role for a month and it is literally so perfect.
Speaker 3: It's everything I wrote down, and I couldn't be happier
Speaker 3: than the next stop point that was just one of them.
Speaker 3: In two weeks time, we are moving into our first
Speaker 3: home we've bought, and it literally has everything I wrote
Speaker 3: down that we wanted. At the beginning of the year,
Speaker 3: we've been saying for a while, and we've been saving
Speaker 3: for a while and working towards buying our first home.
Speaker 3: But I had so many limiting beliefs due to the
Speaker 3: economy and housing market, Butie decided to just go for it,
Speaker 3: and you know, we were surprised by how easy it
Speaker 3: was for us. The next one is she's so much
Speaker 3: more confident within herself. I love that as a goal.
Speaker 3: Her second, third, one, fourth one. The next one is
Speaker 3: she has an incredible marriage and connection with her husband.
Speaker 3: So beautiful. And then the last one is she has
Speaker 3: so much abundance. She said, she feels so aligned and
Speaker 3: in love with life. She just keeps leveling up. She's
Speaker 3: truly living her deem Light dream life. And she's so
Speaker 3: grateful for the RNC team, oh podcast, the project, and
Speaker 3: the do it Few future self course, because she's quantum
Speaker 3: leaped so much. I'm actually shocked me too.
Speaker 2: It's so incredible.
Speaker 1: I just love our community so much, I know.
Speaker 3: And I just love how she had a big career goal,
Speaker 3: she had a big money goal, but also her other
Speaker 3: three were just like so well round, so well rounded
Speaker 3: about the relationships in her life, and they're achievable and
Speaker 3: it's not like overwhelming or anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I also love that she got offered something, but she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna trust my intuition and the like the
Speaker 1: next perfect thing came. Yeah, that's like And that's the
Speaker 1: thing though, if you're someone who's not creating co creating
Speaker 1: with universe, and someone who's not locked into your intuition,
Speaker 1: you probably would have taken the first.
Speaker 2: Thing out of like scarting and lack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, oh well there's an I know as well
Speaker 1: take this. Yeah, And so it's.
Speaker 2: Just incredible, like how that turned out. I know, Ah,
Speaker 2: that's incredible. Guys.
