Today, 13 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: I am coming to you with a solo podcast. It 14 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: is Sunday morning. I've actually just done a bit of 15 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: work in bed this morning with my coffee, which is 16 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: something I love doing if I'm working on the weekend. 17 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: And then I went for a really nice walk on 18 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: the beach and I've actually been listening to this like 19 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: tape with like mantras, and then I came back and 20 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: did a little meditation I'm feeling very calm, very zen, 21 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: and I just had this idea for this podcast, so 22 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: not planned as usual with my solo podcast, but today 23 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: I want to chat to you about honoring the season 24 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: that you were in. So this has come about because 25 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm in a season. I don't know if I've actually 26 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: told you guys this yet. I get confused what I have, 27 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: but I'm currently in a season of slow and this 28 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: is because was previously probably the last six months, I 29 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: just had a very hectic schedule with the live podcast 30 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: events like launching naked harvests and just a couple of 31 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: personal things, and it really feels like I've been on 32 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: this like automation, like I have not had time to stop, 33 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: and I've just been like smashing out content, smashing out 34 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: things really happy and I love doing that sort of thing. 35 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: But probably a good month ago I really felt this 36 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: kind of like inner intuition feeling that I just I 37 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: needed to slow down. And it very much felt like 38 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: physically like I felt just very exhausted and drained. Mentally, 39 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: I felt very creatively blocked. Actually I definitely did talk 40 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 1: about this in my Creating Space podcasts, and so yeah, 41 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: I really had this feeling of I just want to 42 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: create space, I just want to go a bit slower. 43 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 1: And for me that it was a very foreign concept because, 44 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: like you guys know, like I'm a very fast paced person. 45 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: I went straight from high school and to doing my 46 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: law degree, and then while I was doing that, I 47 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: was doing all my social media, and then I started 48 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: a side business, and then I went full time, and 49 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: then I started a podcast and then Naked Harvest and 50 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: just going one hundred miles per hour all the time, 51 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: and I love it. I really kind of feed off 52 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. My personality is like, that's me 53 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: and that's amazing. But you can imagine how I feel 54 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: when my body and mind is kind of like something 55 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: inside me is just like you need to go slow. 56 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: So it took me a while to even realize what 57 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: I needed to do. But now I'm in this season, 58 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, this is exactly where I need to be, exactly, 59 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: this is exactly what I need to do. So it 60 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: feels right for me. But in saying that, I do 61 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: have these feelings that pop up that try and get 62 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: me out of you know, this good feeling and this 63 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: flow we'll call it. So stuff pops up like, you know, 64 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: if I'm slowing down, does that mean that I'm going 65 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: to get taken over by forgotten about? You know, a 66 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: people are going to take my good ideas or you know, 67 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 1: just is something going to happen because I'm slowing down? 68 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: And I've realized that this is such a fear based 69 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: mentality that I know we all get that really tries 70 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: to take off this like aligned path where we're supposed 71 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: to be. And I know you guys might also be 72 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: in a certain season and you kind of you know 73 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: you should be there, you know what you're doing, but 74 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: this fear based mentality does come up, it rears its head, 75 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: and it's kind of like it puts self doubt in 76 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: your mind. And so I really want to to talk 77 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: about this and really create a podcast that's about, you know, 78 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: telling you guys and telling myself really that when you 79 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: are in a season and you know you're supposed to 80 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: be in this season, of really honoring it. So stop 81 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: looking around and feeling like you're missing out or you're 82 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: doing something, you're not doing something you should be doing, 83 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: and just really trust where you need to be, trust 84 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: your intuition, and don't live in that fear based mentality. 85 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: So for example, I actually have a friend at the 86 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: moment and she is saving, well, she's not saving for 87 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: a house. Her and her partner have already they've already 88 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: got a mortgage and they're building a house, but they 89 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: currently live in a rental house, so they're having to 90 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: you know, pay the mortgage they're building a new house, 91 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: or the expenses plus pay rent. So basically she can't 92 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: do too much because she's got to save money for that. 93 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: And we were discussing how, you know, she does feel 94 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: like she's missing out on things because she's literally having 95 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: to say no, I can't afford that. And she is 96 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: a social butterfly, so she's kind of she used to 97 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: always doing stuff with us, always coming to the events, 98 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: and you know, kind of doing whatever she wants to 99 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: do in regards to money. And she kind of said 100 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: that she was feeling like isolated and she was feeling 101 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: like she was missing out. But we had a big 102 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: discussion about it, and then she said, you know, this 103 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: is my current season, and instead of looking outwards and 104 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: feeling like I'm missing out and feeling isolated and all 105 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, I need to trust that the 106 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: season I'm in, I need to kind of, you know, 107 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: be in this season and do it. And I know 108 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: when I'm out of this season, I'll have money to 109 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, come and do whatever I want to do 110 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: or hang with my friends and imagine how great I'm 111 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: going to feel because I've been in that previous season 112 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: of saving money. And I feel like we can all 113 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: have seasons. So you know, you might be complete opposite me, 114 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: and you might be in this season of just getting 115 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: shit done, like Boss girl mode, getting stuff done, and 116 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: you might be going one hundred miles an hour, and 117 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: then you know you might be feeling like, oh, should 118 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: I be slowing down? You know what am I doing? 119 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: The self doubt comes up. But if you really feel 120 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: aligned in what you're doing and it almost feels easy 121 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: to be in that season of get shit done, like 122 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: that is where you're meant to be. This can also 123 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: be a season of you know, maybe training and eating. 124 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: Maybe you're in a season of it's just not a 125 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: priority at the moment. You're not training as much as 126 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,559 Speaker 1: you usually would or eating as healthy as usually would 127 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: maybe work as the priority. And I think you need 128 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: to realize that things ebb and flow so at the 129 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: moment because you're training and eating isn't necessarily a priority, 130 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it never will be. And if you 131 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: really need to be in a season where you know, 132 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: work or whatever it is, is a parity, then you 133 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: need to trust in that. Or maybe it's something like 134 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: you aren't seeing your friends as much at the moment 135 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: because you're so busy, and you know, you have these 136 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: feelings of guilt and you know, will they be there 137 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: when I'm finished or anything like that, and maybe this 138 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: just isn't your season to be social. Like I know, 139 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: I literally had two years, two full years where I 140 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: just really did not see like even my best friend, 141 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: I barely even saw her. But then I had this 142 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: year after where I was like this social butterfly and 143 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: I was like going out, I was seeing everyone. And 144 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: I think it's about honoring that, because a big thing 145 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: for me is realizing that everything ebbs and flows. And 146 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: if you're currently in this season and you're almost like 147 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: pushing against it and you're not honoring the season that 148 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: you're in, it will feel really hard and it will 149 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: not feel good. So for example, like maybe you're really 150 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: trying to push something, so you're really trying to push 151 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: an idea or push in a like a relationship and 152 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: it's just not working. And so I think you need 153 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: to take a step back and realize in my life, 154 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: where am I not listening to my intuition, aligning with 155 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: where I meant to be, and honoring the season that 156 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm definitely that person who previously, you know, 157 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: if I wanted something or wanted to do something or 158 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: anything like that, like I would just push and push 159 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: and push. But now I've realized that that just doesn't 160 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: work and things don't have to be so hard. And 161 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: that was a big thing for me actually with training 162 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: and eating, Like I would go through seasons where it 163 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: was just so easy to get like forty five minute 164 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: work in every single day, to eat healthy, like it 165 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: just was seamless, and then there was seasons where it 166 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: felt so difficult. And I always find like when things 167 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: are so difficult and if they're just not working, I 168 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: would then turn my attention to something else, focus on 169 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: where I needed to align myself as something else in 170 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: my life, and like I said, things will ebb and flow, 171 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: so then that would come back again in the future. 172 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: Before we continue, I'm quickly interrupting this podcast to proudly 173 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: introduce this week's episode sponsor Naked Harvest Supplements.

Okay, 199 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: now let's get straight back into the episode. Another thing 200 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: that I'm doing differently is previously in my business, I 201 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: was kind of like logical, So if I was deciding 202 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: on a partnership or a next step or a new project, 203 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: I would ask myself, you know, to suit my business, 204 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: is it a good opportunity. Rather, now I'm getting really 205 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: clear and asking myself does it excite me? And does 206 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: it spark joy? Because I really feel like I'm in 207 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: the season where that's my end goal, Like that's what 208 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: I want the result to be. So they're the questions 209 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: I want to ask myself. So maybe things feel really 210 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: difficult and really hard at the moment because you're not 211 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: aligning with your true, authentic and result, like maybe you 212 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: need to start asking yourself different questions of what you 213 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: really want. I know I keep saying this, but I 214 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: really love this concept of everything ebbs and flows. So 215 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: if you're in a season of slow maybe you have 216 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: creativity blocks, trust that soon or somewhere in the future 217 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: that it's going to come back. So if there's anything 218 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: lacking in your life now, don't live in the fear 219 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: mentality of you're never going to get it. Just have 220 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: faith and trust that you know it's not happening at 221 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: the moment. That's all good. I'm going to focus on 222 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: what needs to be more aligned in my life and 223 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: just kind of I call it surrendering. And this is 224 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: something that has been quite hard for me because I 225 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: am someone who I'm just such a control freak, Like 226 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm a tipaid control freak. So I've had to learn 227 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: this process of really surrendering the outcome, surrendering and just 228 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: going Okay, what do I need to do, like guide 229 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: me universe. And it's actually funny because I don't talk 230 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: about this too much, but I love doing meditation at 231 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: the moment and I have this really cool mantra that 232 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: I say, so for example, I'll often do a meditation 233 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: where I sit down and I recite a mantra. I 234 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: put on some really nice like meditation music, and I 235 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: set my alarm for five or ten minutes and I 236 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: get my breath really long and you know, relaxing, and 237 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: then I just recite this mantra for the whole time, 238 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: and I say, I trust the universe is guiding me 239 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: exactly where I need to be. And so I'll often 240 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: do this if you know those kind of the fear 241 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: mentality is popping up, if the self doubt is popping up. 242 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but so for example, 243 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: I'm in this season of slow, and then I'll go 244 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: on Instagram and I'll see that, you know, some girl 245 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: is doing this big new project and it seems really exciting, 246 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: and you know, this thought pops up and I'm like, 247 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: maybe I need to do a new project or start 248 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: this or do that. And then I've got to kind 249 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: of push it down and stop kind of stop comparing 250 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: myself and stop looking outwards and just go, no, I'm 251 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: honoring the season of slow. I really need to be here, 252 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: like my intuition is telling me I need to be here. 253 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: And then I'll often do this meditation and so like 254 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: I said, I trust the unit, I'll say I trust 255 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: the universe is guiding me exactly where I need to be, 256 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: and I'll keep reciting that, and then after i will 257 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: get this feeling of calmness and I'm like, yes, no, 258 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: this is exactly what I'm meant to be doing. This 259 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: is this season I'm meant to be in. So kind 260 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: of like clarity, which is something I always seek. And also, 261 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: like I said, if things don't feel aligned at the moment, 262 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: if things like if your intuition is not lining up, 263 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: or you don't feel like you're connected to your intuition, 264 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: or if things are really painful and hard, maybe there 265 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: is something that needs to be realigned in your life. 266 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: So start looking where things aren't going well, where you're 267 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: having to really push things instead of flow, and then 268 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: look to areas of your life where things are really flowing. 269 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: So something that I don't know if you guys have noticed, 270 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: but if you have me on Instagram, which is just 271 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: at Georgie Stevenson, I'm really talking a lot about not 272 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: even talking, but you'll see from my Insta stories like 273 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: every single day I'm really seeking joy, which is something 274 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: I never used to do. I don't know, it just 275 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: never occurred to me that I should be enjoying every 276 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: single day. I realize that sounds a bit traumatic, but 277 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. So, for example, I've got this series 278 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: on my interest stories where I really want to do 279 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: a front flip and like land on my feet, and 280 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: so me and Tim will go down to the beach, 281 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: or I'll go down to the beach the body my 282 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: little nephew, and like we'll jump off the sand dunes 283 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: and I'll try and do a ford flip, and I 284 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: usually am like just stacking it and like me and 285 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: Tim are laughing, and then he tries, and the whole 286 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: experience is very like in a child, and we're just 287 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: out there. There's nothing, like we're not doing that for 288 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: anything except joy. And so I'm really seeking joy. And 289 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: I realized that that was an area in my life 290 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: that things were really just flowing. Like the days where 291 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: I was getting the joy in, they were like really 292 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: good days. I was having a really productive day at work. 293 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: And then the days where I wasn't getting joy in 294 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: and I wasn't focusing on joy, things were feeling really 295 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: hard and tough. So I kind of was like, Okay, 296 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: I need to start adding in more joy. And it's 297 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: funny because like these downloads that I like to call them, 298 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: they were they would just come to you when you 299 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: are getting more in tune with how you feel. And 300 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: the first step is just being aware. So if as 301 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: I was saying rambling on as I do with these 302 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: solo podcasts, if straight away you thought of something that 303 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: does not feel aligned, maybe have a look of how 304 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 1: you can change that in your life, or you know, 305 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: baby steps of how you can start doing less of 306 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: it or outsource it, or have a conversation if it's 307 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: a relationship or anything like that. And then also I 308 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: guarantee when I was talking about feeling aligned, something popped 309 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: in your head about what feels really aligned to you 310 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,479 Speaker 1: at the moment in your life, like what is bringing 311 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: you joy, what is feeling in flow? And start doing 312 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: more of that. I'm going to finish the podcast, but 313 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: for me, I'm just really honoring the season I'm in. 314 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm not looking around. I'm not looking what others are 315 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: doing or you know, logically thinking what I should do. 316 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm really trusting what feels good and what feels aligned, 317 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: and I'm leaning into that rather than leaning into the 318 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: fear and the self doubt. And it feels good. It 319 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: feels really good, and just so I wanted to touch 320 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: on it today.
