So something I often do is 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.760 I put a little post in my Rise and Conquer 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.840 Facebook community group, which is just our private Facebook community group. 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.400 I love it so much.

So I put a post 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.079 in there. I said, hey, girl friends, it's been a 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:18.760 huge week. Completely forgot about my Tuesday EP, recording it tomorrow, 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.120 so it is the weekend. Usually I'm a bit more 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.240 organized than the episodes are, you know, like all prepped 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.880 the week before, but we're doing a last minute EP. 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.880 But whatever, we are getting it done. So I put 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.040 it in the post and I said, hey, girl friends, 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.640 last minute, do you guys have anything you want me 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.200 to chat about? And there was over forty comments, so 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.680 lots of people excited for a solo Epp And the 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.360 sort of thread that I saw was basically this thing 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.120 about feeling like they don't have motivation what to do 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.440 when you want to be more disciplined when you know, 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.360 kind of you're in a slump and you want to 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.840 feel motivated or inspired. And also there was a bit 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.040 of a thread too about yeah, having like the will 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.520 power and discipline. So I'm going to talk about motivation 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.120 and how to get out of a rut. And I 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.919 feel like this is so timely because it's a super 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.960 weird time because isso as kind of like dying down. 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.520 Restrictions are getting lifted here in Queensland, and I know 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.639 other states are kind of similar, and so people are 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.760 like going back to normal and I'm saying like normal 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.640 in air quotes, and I think it's like a bit 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.840 weird because we've done this like weird thing where we 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.760 have been self isolating and doing this new normal, and 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.600 now restrictions are lifting and we're kind of just expected 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.760 to go back to this old thing. And it's like 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.080 I don't really want to go back to this old thing, 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.600 and I don't know how I feel, and yeah, weird 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.880 weird times, I kind of feel the same and so 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.400 I did want to chat about this thing called motivation, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.800 and I, like, I said, like, I totally get this, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.240 And I think the first thing I want to say is, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.960 I think we need to recognize that we will go 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:16.800 through seasons where we won't feel as motivated, where we 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.200 won't kind of you know, have that feeling where we 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.240 just bounce out of bed and want to go and 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.680 do our day and it's okay, like we're not we 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.480 are humans. We're not supposed to feel one hundred percent 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.520 fine and one hundred percent motivated all the time. It's 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.279 just not going to happen. So I think the first thing, 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:38.040 and something I often talk about is like giving yourself kindness, 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.719 especially during this time because it is a weird, weird 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.080 time and when I'm feeling like this, like instead of going, 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.719 oh I'm not motivated, what can I do to motivate 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.520 myself and like doing all these things, I give myself 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.280 a couple of days to kind of just sit in it. 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.960 And it's really funny because I'm going through I wouldn't 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.280 say it's something similar, but like this the week that 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.680 has just been, I launched my online course and there 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.520 was a lot of like, you know, tension and work 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.640 building up to do the launch, and we had to 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.080 do lots of things my website, and so it was 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.320 like a long process. And then we did the launch. 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.920 We sold out in just over twenty four hours, which 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.200 I was not expecting. I did the enrollment date literally 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.600 two weeks before the course started, because I thought it 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.839 was gonna take us, you know, two weeks to get 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.080 that amount of women in. We have over three hundred 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.840 women in there, and so it was all just like 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.800 this huge you know, like high high high. And then 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.120 for like, well only today, I've kind of felt like 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.240 normal again. But after Tuesday, I had these like three 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.280 or four days where I just didn't like I was 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.960 so happy and so excited, but it almost was just 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.320 like this feeling of just feeling a bit like burnt 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.400 out and flat, and I just felt like I had 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.400 no motivation and I and I just was like, what 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.159 is wrong with you, Georgia, Like, you know, you've just 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.400 sold out in twenty fo hours, you should have these 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.000 like really happy feelings, and I just was not feeling it. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.279 I recognize for me, it was like a bit of 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.000 a burnout thing and going from such a high. But 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.640 the first thing I always do is I just I 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.880 let myself sit in it. And I'm not harsh on myself. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.560 I'm not sitting there going, oh, well, you know, you 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.599 should get straight back into work, and you should be 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.919 so happy and all these you shoulds. I don't do that. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.479 I just go, Okay, this is how I'm feeling. This 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.200 is interesting. I examine how I'm feeling, and before I 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.240 kind of be too proactive about it. I just kind 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.120 of let myself sit in it because I think previously 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.159 I had this thing where I didn't want to ever 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:43.520 feel bad feelings, like I was almost scared of bad feelings. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.960 And as you guys know, I've been seeing a psychologist for. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.520 Maybe a year now. 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.160 I don't see her every week now it's kind of 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.839 gone to every three weeks, but at the start it 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.680 was every week. And basically what we found out was 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:02.000 I really suppressed my emotions because I was so scared 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.760 of feeling emotions. So now you know, even if it's 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.480 a bad emotion, like, I'm like, it's okay to feel 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.880 this way, Like I don't have to feel happy and 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:15.880 excited and motivated all the time. So anyway, long story short, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.960 First thing, I just want you to do is just 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.800 be like give yourself grace and be like, all right, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.720 I'm not feeling motivated. I'm not feeling it. This is 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.160 probably why examine it and just don't be so judging 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.480 to yourself because I know it's like it's such a 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.840 trap and then it's kind of like this vicious cycle. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.520 So yes, first step, sit in it. Let yourself have 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.800 some days if you're kind of you know, over that part, 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.160 you've felt it, you felt your feelings and you're like, 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.160 all right, I am ready to get back into things. 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.400 And this is kind of going to be a bit 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.760 of a harsh truth, but you guys know that's what 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.480 I'm here for, and I wanted to ask you guys. 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.080 So if you're not feeling it, you're not feeling you know, motivated, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.600 you're not feeling motivated, you're not feeling inspired. Yeah, So 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.440 the kind of half truth is you do have a 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:07.480 responsibility over you and over your life. So by you 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.800 sitting there and saying, you know, I'm not feeling motivated, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.680 I'm not feeling inspired, it's kind of on you. And 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.760 like what if I told you that this is you 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.800 doing this to yourself? How would that feel? And like 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.040 what if I told you that you actually have a 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.240 choice to feel this way, or you have a choice to, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.160 you know, pick yourself up and feel motivated and inspired. 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.760 And right now you're picking to really lean into this 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.320 thing of poor me, I'm unmotivated, I don't know what 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.880 I'm doing, I'm not feeling it. Like I said, there 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.520 is like a line of you're allowed to feel like this, 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.800 but it does get to a point where what if 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.880 I told you that you're actually doing this to yourself. 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.640 Because like our brain, as. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:57.280 Amazing as it is, it is the master manipulator, and 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.360 it often tries to cheat us out of living our 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:06.480 best lives and feeling amazing because we either subconsciously think 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.680 that that's what we deserve, or we think it's safer 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.920 to feel the way we do, or if you're like 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.960 me and you don't want to feel your feelings. So 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.120 I'm gonna pop on here and I'm gonna be your motivator, 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.560 and I'm gonna tell you stop wasting time. Like I said, 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.200 have a bit of time. I know this is all 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.120 very conflicting, but have your time. You're allowed to feel 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:35.679 unmotivated and uninspired, but if it's been a while, stop 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.840 wasting your time. You have a responsibility to yourself to 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.520 be your own motivation to live your best life. Like 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.760 I know that sounds lame, but we do. We only 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.640 live once. And do you want to look back in 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:54.199 your life and just be like, ah, fuck you guys 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.320 know I do not usually swear, but there comes a 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.240 point where it's like we can't can't be searching for 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.800 external motivation and we have to do it ourselves. And 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.480 you need to remember that life is here to teach 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.320 us lessons so we can learn from it to evolve. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.440 And if you're constantly finding you're in this cycle of 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:22.640 feel feeling unmotivated, feeling uninspired, and then finding some external 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:27.920 motivational or external validation and getting this high and then 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.320 going back in this circle where you feel unmotivated, it 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.719 is time to learn from you your mistakes or it's 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.600 time to learn and it's time to evolve. We owe 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.880 this to ourselves. And like life is here to be enjoyed, 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:46.160 to be present, to be grateful, I think the biggest thing. 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.520 And kind of like I woke up this morning still 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.560 not feeling myself. There's like there's a little bit of 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.600 personal stuff going on which I haven't really spoken to 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.520 you guys. Well, I haven't spoken to you guys about 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.440 and I don't think I will and a bit of 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.160 a later date when I've processed it all a bit more, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.720 which makes a lot more sense to me. But I guess, 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.640 you know, it comes to a point where there's only 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.720 so much time I can kind of sit in my 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.559 own sadness and sit in my own emptiness, and like 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.000 this morning, that's what I did. I pulled myself out 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.760 and I was like, Georgia, you have so much to 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.560 be grateful for. I know things aren't exactly how you 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.400 want them to be. I know, you know this thing 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.080 is happening and you're feeling these feelings, but at the 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.280 end of the day, you have a responsibility for yourself 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:39.320 and you can enjoy every single day. You can be present, 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.960 and you can be grateful. And I think you guys know, 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.280 like being grateful is the highest vibration. So something that 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.440 like shifted me pretty instantly was being like, oh my god, Georgia, 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.319 there's literally me speaking to myself. You're so right, there 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.760 is so much to be grateful for, and I need to, 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.440 you know, pull myself out at this. And it's really 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.080 funny because once I just like sort of mind shifted 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.480 and got my head around it. I was like, you're 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.440 so right. Things aren't going exactly how I want them 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.400 to go. But the underlying truth isn't that. You know, 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.800 I am this feeling. I can pick a new feeling, 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.520 and I can pick a new thought, and so I 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.000 decided to do that. 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.079 That was my decision. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.520 This episode is brought to you by Naked Harvest Supplements, 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.520 the natural supplement brand I co founded with my brother. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.440 Our mission at Naked Harvest is to provide you with 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:39.120 the supplements that nourish, fuel, compliment, and optimize your day 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.319 the best bit.

Okay, let's get back into the show. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.880 And I think overthinking and reliving all the scenarios and 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:36.040 letting our anxiety sort of consume us. Me I'm a 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.320 super anxious person, so I totally get it, but it 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.840 just keeps us so small. And this is something like 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.880 it's like a coping mechanism our brain does, and it's 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.040 to help us. It's to keep us safe, it's to 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.640 keep us in our comfort zone. So I think sometimes 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.000 we think, you know, I'm feeling unmotivated, I'm feeling uninspired. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:57.560 I don't want to do this thing. I don't want 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.840 to move forward. When I get that feeling of motivation 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.600 or whatnot, I'll take the next step and it's going 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.600 to feel amazing and I'll feel on track. 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.680 That is not the truth. 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.400 Like sometimes we take the next step, it feels really hard, 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:16.400 it feels it doesn't feel comfortable. And the thing is 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.960 you just have to keep moving forward, even if it's 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.760 tiny little steps. And I think, like the biggest thing 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.000 to remember is you can't control I know, I say, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.200 you know, you can control your feelings and whatnot, But 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.680 I more mean like, we can't control exactly what happens 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.520 to us, Like we all know this, but we can 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:41.720 control how to react. We can keep getting up. So, 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.440 like I said, with my original scenario. If you know 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.920 you've been in ISO, things are weird, you now have 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.080 to go back to the new normal. You're feeling unmotivated 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.320 and inspired. I know you can't control what happened in 0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:00.760 regards to self isolation and the pandemic and all that stuff, 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.120 but you can control how you react to it. So 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.080 are you gonna sit there and go, oh, yeah, you 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.800 know this stuff happened. I'm gonna feel a bit sorry 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.720 for myself. I'm just gonna plod along. I'm just not 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.000 really feeling it. I'm gonna really sit in this excuse 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:17.840 because it is in the end of the day. It's 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:23.200 an excuse of feeling unmotivated and feeling uninspired. Or are 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.520 you going to react in the other way of going, 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.840 oh shit, bulls, this feels uncomfortable. I'm not really feeling it. 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.360 But I'm gonna pull myself out of this. I'm gonna 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:36.840 feel grateful and I'm going to keep moving forward because 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.600 even though it doesn't feel that great right now, I 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.960 know that my future self will thank me, because I 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.080 think that's something we need to realize, is like the 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.800 next step. It doesn't yet, like it doesn't always feel good, 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.240 but if we keep going, we will look back and go, 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.840 oh wow, that was a pivotal first step, and thank 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.000 god I made that, and thank god I kept going 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.240 because look at me now, look how I feel. So 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.879 I think a big thing also is we can often 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:10.040 have a negative thought pattern happening. So basically what that 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.560 means is we have a negative feeling or thought, we 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.560 think it, we then feel it, we then play into it, 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.919 and then it repeats, so we get stuck in this 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:22.959 negative cycle. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.200 So you know, the. 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.560 Example is, oh, things are weird at the moment. I 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.439 feel really uncomfortable. I don't know how to feel. I 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.640 don't know what my new normal is. I'm feeling unmotivated. 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.800 I just don't know like how to feel or what 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.520 to do. That feels negative, that feels icky. I then 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.040 feel like that. And then because I feel like that, 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.200 I go, oh, well I am unmotivated. Well I don't 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.080 know what to do. Well, I feel this way, and 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.280 that's it. And then you sit in that negative pattern. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.439 So I'm saying, now you can break this negative pattern. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.400 You can break this negative cycle. And often I'll talk 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.560 about this where I say, catch the thought, catch the 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.960 negative feeling, and think to yourself, Is this ultimately true? 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:10.320 Is this like set in stone? And like I said, no, 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.600 because you always have an option, you can always react 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.000 in a different way. So yes, it's a shitty time, 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.960 it's an uncomfortable time, it's an unnormal time. 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:20.280 You do have an. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:23.160 Option to sit in the negative feelings and go, yep, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.840 I'm gonna be unmotivated and I'm not gonna you know, 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.240 sort of deal with this too well. Or you can go, well, 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.879 that's not ultimately true. There are people who are really 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.240 sort of, you know, taking this scenario by the balls, 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.240 if you may, and they're really going for it, and 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.400 they're using it for their advantage, and they're using it, 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.040 you know, to really fuel them. That's like I have 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.520 been dming a couple of girls who joined my Rise 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.840 and Conker project, and I can see they are using 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.359 this current scenario and being uncomfortable to fuel them. Oh girl, 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.600 her words were, you know, she's like, I've catched myself 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.000 so small, this feels so uncomfortable, but I owe it 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.879 to myself to take this huge next step. And she 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:07.600 even said to me, she's like, to be honest, like 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.560 it doesn't feel good, but I know my future self 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:14.480 will thank me. And so I'm really using this uncertain 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.719 time to fuel me. And so you have that choice. 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:21.240 So catch the thought, examine it, know that it's not 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.159 ultimately true, and you can pick a new thought and 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.359 a new feeling and you can feel into that and that, 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.359 my friend is breaking that negative cycle. And also like 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:34.879 something to remember is like sometimes you have to be 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:38.120 your own motivation and sometimes you have to pep yourself up. 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.080 So like something I did this morning, and something I'll 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.399 often do is I'll put on like a meditation or 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.840 you know, grab my crystals, and I like sit there 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.520 and I will say to myself, I'll be like, Georgia, 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.000 you are powerful. Look at what you have achieved, look 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:54.639 at what you have done, look at what you have 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.280 pulled yourself from. You are so powerful, You were so enough, 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.760 you were so loved, you were so supportive. 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:02.440 You have clear. 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.800 Goals, you know what you want, you know you can 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:06.919 go after them. And basically, you know, I won't go 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.040 on and on, but I would just give myself this 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.199 pep talk and be like, you know what, stop you know, 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.760 and I will tell myself like stop it, stop it, 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:15.840 choose a new thought. 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.680 You can do this. Wow, that was really a bit 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.399 of a riff, there Wasn't it all? 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:21.600 Right? 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:21.880 Guys? 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.560 So I'm gonna wrap this episode up just because I 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.800 like these to only be about twenty minutes. But I 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.800 hope that was helpful. I guess some practical stuff that 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.760 really helps me when I am feeling unmotivated and a 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.600 bit down is going back to my why and really 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.840 getting clear on that. That's actually something that we're going 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:43.600 to be doing the first week of the Rise and 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.919 Conker Project, obviously way more extensively, but just something to 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.160 start thinking about. Is like, you know, if you're feeling 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:55.280 unmotivated because of isso whatnot? Like and you were feeling 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.800 motivated pre io, like what was your why? Get clear 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.600 on that, Like go back to why you want to 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.879 do this thing, why you want to start, why you 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.760 want to make the next step. Get clear on that 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.400 because you'll often find that it's like, oh, yeah, this 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:13.200 actually has like a bigger picture and a bigger thing 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.160 than just these iky feelings right now, and you can 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.320 feel into that. Also, like I said, what helps me 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:23.000 is like tuning into our higher vibe or like just 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.160 shifting my vibe. And I actually have a podcast which 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:29.560 I'll get grace to link. The show notes about like 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.840 how to shift into a high vibe, and I think 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.840 I give you about ten things, but basically the biggest thing, 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.879 and there's something that will always work, something that it 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:42.879 will always work, is shifting into gratitude. So literally, right now, 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.879 think of three things you're grateful for and not just like, oh, 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.760 I'm grateful for my husband and dogs and food. I 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:53.760 want you to think of things that like bring up emotion. 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.400 That's the whole point because that is going to help 0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.240 you shift. And then I guess, like, same thing as 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.680 the start is like maybe you need to rewrite your 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.119 goals or go back to your goals and be like, 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.560
