Speaker 1: I really kind of did it in a way of
Speaker 1: already being that next level goal or that next level
Speaker 1: self and then like what happened is that came into fruition.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Rise and Conquer Podcast. I'm your
Speaker 1: host Georgie Stevenson, former lawyer turned entrepreneur, social media personality
Speaker 1: and personal development junkie. This podcast is for my girl
Speaker 1: gang who want to feed their mind with positive and
Speaker 1: expansive thoughts to help them step into their power and
Speaker 1: live their most authentic life. Which had a variety of
Speaker 1: topics including mindset, business, relationships, health, and so much more. Basically,
Speaker 1: wherever you are on your journey, I want to help
Speaker 1: you feel inspired and empowered to rise up and conquer
Speaker 1: your next bold move. I know that's going to look
Speaker 1: different for everyone, but just no, I'm right here by
Speaker 1: your side and that you have the RNC community behind you.
Speaker 1: Let's do this. Hello and welcome back to the Rise
Speaker 1: and Conquer Podcast. It is your host Georgie Stevenson, and
Speaker 1: today we have a solo EPP where we are chatting
Speaker 1: how to make hard life decisions. This is for someone
Speaker 1: if you're maybe at a crossroads, if you're struggling to
Speaker 1: know what you want. Maybe you're struggling to tap into
Speaker 1: your intuition and you're just like, someone tell me what
Speaker 1: to do. This episode is for you. It's going to
Speaker 1: be a short one, but a good one. And so
Speaker 1: the inspiration for this episode was I was actually reading
Speaker 1: through my emails for advice with g which I get
Speaker 1: you guys to send an email and I do a
Speaker 1: little advice episode, which I was gonna do today. But
Speaker 1: I was reading all the emails, you know, copying paste
Speaker 1: the ones I was going to answer, and I just
Speaker 1: had this like overwhelming feeling of of just kind of
Speaker 1: like how I could answer them all and every single
Speaker 1: question I kind of had the same response. And it
Speaker 1: was really about, you know, like I get asked these
Speaker 1: questions what should I do? And they explain their circumstances
Speaker 1: and this and that and what should I choose? And
Speaker 1: should I stay with my boyfriend? Should I not? Should
Speaker 1: I leave my job? Should I not? And like when
Speaker 1: it comes down to it, and I know, like I
Speaker 1: get when you want to ask, you know, I get
Speaker 1: the polling, and polling is kind of you know, you
Speaker 1: ask your friends, you ask your family, but honestly, no
Speaker 1: one knows what to do accept yourself like you're inner intuition,
Speaker 1: your inner self, your inner compass knows exactly what to do.
Speaker 1: You just need to listen. You just need to get quiet,
Speaker 1: and you need to trust yourself. So yeah, this episode,
Speaker 1: I just want to chat about that. I'm actually just
Speaker 1: gonna quickly close my door because I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys can hear that traffic All right, I'm back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So basically I want and it's it's interesting because I'm
Speaker 1: actually going through a kind of similar situation where I
Speaker 1: have been going through a couple of crossroads of you know,
Speaker 1: different decisions that have come up and where I'm deciding
Speaker 1: if I should you know, go a new way or
Speaker 1: done something I've always done, and just various things, and
Speaker 1: so yeah, I wanted to dedicate this episodes. So the
Speaker 1: felt like the ultimate answer of how I make hard
Speaker 1: decisions or you know, when I'm at a crossroads is
Speaker 1: I asked myself, what would the next like, my next
Speaker 1: level self, what would she do in this decision? So
Speaker 1: this is going to be hard if you've never really
Speaker 1: fleshed out and explored your next level self. So that's
Speaker 1: what I'm going to help you do. But that's I
Speaker 1: guess the basis where we want to go because our
Speaker 1: next level self is yeah, like literally our next level self.
Speaker 1: It's the person we're aspiring to become. It's the person
Speaker 1: who has you know, already manifested the things you want
Speaker 1: to manifest. It's the person who has already accomplished what
Speaker 1: you want to accomplish. It's the person who you know
Speaker 1: got the pay rise, who was bold enough to start
Speaker 1: the business, who was bold enough to show it confidently
Speaker 1: and go after the thing and ask the person out,
Speaker 1: and you know that person that it's still us, but
Speaker 1: it's almost like this next level self. But what we
Speaker 1: don't realize is that person is literally around the corner.
Speaker 1: And what I always say to you guys is if
Speaker 1: something is on our hearts, if we can imagine something,
Speaker 1: So for example, like a great thing to think about
Speaker 1: is I don't know, I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: do it, But like in a meditative state, I will
Speaker 1: visualize the future. I will envision my future self. I
Speaker 1: will envision my life what I want. And I can
Speaker 1: see that very clearly. And I'm such a big believer
Speaker 1: that if I can envision that, if I can dream that,
Speaker 1: if I can, you know, see that and feel really
Speaker 1: connected to that. Sorry, guys, my speaker literally unblogged itself
Speaker 1: because I was getting passionate and not the computer. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm a big believer that if I can envision that,
Speaker 1: that can be true to me and that is a
Speaker 1: possible reality for me, kind of like, for example, like
Speaker 1: in my life, I have never wanted to be a teacher.
Speaker 1: I've never wanted to be an artist. I've never wanted
Speaker 1: to be a singer. Like there are things that it's
Speaker 1: just I've never wanted to be, whereas there's other people
Speaker 1: who they would love to be an artist. They aspire
Speaker 1: to be, you know, a singer or a teacher or
Speaker 1: you know, these different aspects of life. And that's what
Speaker 1: I mean about. I truly believe like if something is
Speaker 1: on your heart, if you can envision something, then that
Speaker 1: is a possible reality for you. So when I'm talking
Speaker 1: about your next level self, like she is going to
Speaker 1: be so different to my next level self. So I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna bother like giving you an example, but basically
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run you through a practice where I ask
Speaker 1: you a whole bunch of questions to envision that person
Speaker 1: and so I'm a big believer. Also, like, once you're
Speaker 1: so clear on your next level self, it will be
Speaker 1: so like the next step, the next decision will be
Speaker 1: so clear if you're making it from that next level
Speaker 1: self rather than your current self, because your current self usually,
Speaker 1: you know, usually you can't pick because you either have
Speaker 1: fear around not succeeding, or you have fear or you
Speaker 1: have negative experiences from the past that are like almost
Speaker 1: tainting it. There's there's a lot of limiting beliefs that
Speaker 1: you know, we all currently have. So when we can
Speaker 1: kind of make decisions from this next level self, from
Speaker 1: this like you know, I guess we can call it
Speaker 1: our higher self, who has done what we want to do,
Speaker 1: who has achieved the things, who has manifested that and
Speaker 1: like the person who really believes in themselves. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: gets so much clearer for me. And so yeah, anytime
Speaker 1: I'm feeling unclear, I'm like, oh, I don't know what
Speaker 1: to do. And I notice this because I will do
Speaker 1: the same thing where I poll people and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, mel like you know this and that what
Speaker 1: should I do? I will talk to Jacinta Tim or
Speaker 1: my mom, and I notice I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm literally asking everyone else. Whereas Georgia, you always know
Speaker 1: what to do. You always know you can tap into
Speaker 1: your inner compass, you're inner intuition. And just a quick note, guys,
Speaker 1: is intuition is such. Intuition has just been so huge
Speaker 1: for me in my life and making next steps and
Speaker 1: making choices, and it's definitely something I want to do
Speaker 1: like a whole episode about, because I believe, like you know,
Speaker 1: when you're tapped to your intuition, you're kind of invincible
Speaker 1: because it's like nothing can rock you. You feel so
Speaker 1: secure in yourself, you have so much clarity around yourself
Speaker 1: and who you are and how you show up, and yeah,
Speaker 1: when you have a decision, you can kind of tap
Speaker 1: into it. So that's also huge. I was actually thinking
Speaker 1: about because intuition, me personally, it's like something we're all
Speaker 1: born with and it's something we will have, but I
Speaker 1: feel like because of society and just the way we
Speaker 1: learn in school, we almost unlearn it. And so I've
Speaker 1: been on this huge journey with my intuition where I
Speaker 1: now feel very strong with it, but only just you know,
Speaker 1: three or four years ago, I had no intuition and
Speaker 1: it really led me astray. So another thing I'm also
Speaker 1: thinking about doing is the next round of my Rise
Speaker 1: and Conquered project, which will be around mid year. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of adding like a mini training all about intuition
Speaker 1: that everyone can do, like before they start the project
Speaker 1: to really like tune into that because yeah, it's epic
Speaker 1: and it's just like one of my one of my
Speaker 1: best tools that I've ever developed, that's completely free, that
Speaker 1: has just changed my life. Not to be dramatic, Okay,
Speaker 1: r n C. Fam, We're taking a quick break and
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, guys, are you getting your
Speaker 1: daily recommended intake of three fruits and five veggies? No?
Speaker 1: Sometimes maybe I feel you on this. Wow. So, in
Speaker 1: a perfect world, we are getting all our vitamin minerals
Speaker 1: and needs from our food directly. But because we live
Speaker 1: such hectic lives and our soil is often lacking from
Speaker 1: so much farming done, that doesn't always happen. And that's
Speaker 1: why supplements are so popular, and that's why Naked Harvest
Speaker 1: was born just to be very transparent with you. So
Speaker 1: what we really wanted to do was make sure you're
Speaker 1: getting what you need in a convenient way when you're
Speaker 1: not getting your daily recommended intake of veggies. In so
Speaker 1: introducing our newest product, Gorgeous Greens, which is a greens
Speaker 1: powder that actually tastes delicious. So we have been formulating
Speaker 1: this for quite a while because honestly, it was so
Speaker 1: hard to have a greens powder that has all the
Speaker 1: good stuff and that tastes delicious, Like I honestly get
Speaker 1: why so many other greens powders just taste so foul.
Speaker 1: And honestly, any other greens powder I bought, I've just
Speaker 1: never finished and I just throw it away. So there
Speaker 1: are two flavors that is very vanilla and Mango magic.
Speaker 1: I recommend getting very vanilla if you just want to
Speaker 1: add it to your smoothies, but if you do want
Speaker 1: to have it by itself, Mango Magic is so delicious
Speaker 1: and so flavorsome. Also, guys, the greens plowder is gluten free,
Speaker 1: dairy free, vegan, refined, sugar free, and family friendly. So
Speaker 1: one scoop equals one serfs of veggies, so you're really
Speaker 1: getting veggies in at breakfast time if you're a smoothie
Speaker 1: lover like me. And it just makes it easier to
Speaker 1: get all the veggies in and to really making sure
Speaker 1: you're getting the vitamins and minerals you need daily. So
Speaker 1: I absolutely know that if you try this product you
Speaker 1: will love it. That's how confident I am with this
Speaker 1: greenspowder because ah, we have just with aiste we aste
Speaker 1: the flavor. So guys, if you need to get some
Speaker 1: veggies in your day in a more convenient way, try
Speaker 1: Gorgeous Greens today. So I do have a sneaky code
Speaker 1: for my Rising Conker family, which is just Rise and
Speaker 1: Conquer podcasts. You can just put that at checkout at
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest Supplements dot com and the Gorgeous Greens is
Speaker 1: under the wellness tab. Okay, enough about Gorgeous Greens. Let's
Speaker 1: get back into the show. But yeah, so let's get
Speaker 1: into these higher self questions, your next level self again,
Speaker 1: don't be worried if you've never kind of thought about
Speaker 1: things this way, listen to this questions. Like obviously, if
Speaker 1: you're driving, you're not gonna write them down, but maybe
Speaker 1: just have like a think in your head. Otherwise, come
Speaker 1: back to this podcast when you do have a bit
Speaker 1: more time and like you know, pause it and have
Speaker 1: a journal and write things down. You're never going to
Speaker 1: regret like doing this sort of stuff, guys. And also
Speaker 1: I will get my podcast manager to put these questions
Speaker 1: in the show notes, which might be helpful for you too. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: actually she can just wrecked you to a blog that
Speaker 1: actually should have these questions. So yes, that's what we'll do,
Speaker 1: but I would just go through them now. So when
Speaker 1: you think of your next level self, what is the
Speaker 1: energy they encompass? Are they confident? Are they grounded? Are
Speaker 1: they calm? Are they certain? What is the energy? What
Speaker 1: time do they wake up in the morning? Actually might
Speaker 1: say it in the way of like what time do
Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning, because you are your
Speaker 1: next level self? Sorry, guys, let me reframe that. So
Speaker 1: what time do you wake up in the morning, What
Speaker 1: does your morning routine look like? What sort of traits
Speaker 1: do you hold? What sort of friends do you have
Speaker 1: or better yet, what sort of people do you want
Speaker 1: to hang around with? How much money are you earning,
Speaker 1: What does your day look like, what are you wearing,
Speaker 1: what sort of job or career do you have, what
Speaker 1: sort of music do you listen to? How do you
Speaker 1: feel about yourself? And then the last question I want
Speaker 1: to want you to ask yourself is like this next
Speaker 1: level person, what are they sure about? What do they know?
Speaker 1: And even if you're a little bit unclear about you know,
Speaker 1: maybe what job you have or any of those questions,
Speaker 1: It's okay. I want you to fantasize. I want you
Speaker 1: to visualize and be like, you know, what would it
Speaker 1: feel good to me for that person? You know to
Speaker 1: be that rhyme too? And basically, guys, this has helped
Speaker 1: me a lot. So for example, like when I started
Speaker 1: this podcast, I knew I wanted it to you know,
Speaker 1: to be you know, one of the top charts podcasts.
Speaker 1: I wanted it to be to like a very go
Speaker 1: to self development podcast and really kind of up there.
Speaker 1: So like when I first launched it, I acted as
Speaker 1: if that had already happened. You know, I did two
Speaker 1: podcasts a week. I made sure I put a lot
Speaker 1: of time and effort into my questions. I was asking,
Speaker 1: you know, my guests, I had show notes like I
Speaker 1: really kind of did it in a way of already
Speaker 1: being that next level goal or that next level self.
Speaker 1: And then like what happened is that came into fruition.
Speaker 1: So like another example, and I'm pretty sure I've told
Speaker 1: this on the podcast. Was when I was practicing law
Speaker 1: and I wanted a promotion, and I was like a
Speaker 1: law clerk, and I really wanted this was I law clerk? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I was a law clerk, and I wanted the
Speaker 1: promotion of a law graduate, which is kind of the
Speaker 1: next up once you finish your degree, but you're still
Speaker 1: doing your pot which is you know, practical legal training,
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do before you become a lawyer.
Speaker 1: And I remember knowing the stats of like not many
Speaker 1: people got that promotion. So I kind of sat there
Speaker 1: and I was like, how would my next level self
Speaker 1: show up? Like how would this next person who had
Speaker 1: already got the law grad position show up? And it
Speaker 1: was just like little tweaks. Like I remember at the time,
Speaker 1: I didn't put too much effort into my appearance in
Speaker 1: regards to like what I wore to work. Not that
Speaker 1: I looked bad, but it's like I wasn't that corporate
Speaker 1: was I kind of looked around and I noticed that
Speaker 1: all the lawyers, you know, they wore heels, they wore
Speaker 1: these like portman suits. They took a lot of pride
Speaker 1: in their appearance, and they showed up. And so I
Speaker 1: started doing that, I started wearing heels, I bought a
Speaker 1: couple of nice suits, and even like I remember my
Speaker 1: boss at the time was like, oh, Georgia, and like
Speaker 1: she really noticed that I was kind of showing up
Speaker 1: in a different way. And it's not like that was
Speaker 1: the only part. It's like, you know, I would get
Speaker 1: in early and I would stay late, and I was
Speaker 1: kind of going above and beyond. But it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: when we kind of want that next level goal or
Speaker 1: we want clarity on our next steps, it's like, let's
Speaker 1: think of our next level self, Let's think of our
Speaker 1: dream life. Let's think of like us in the position
Speaker 1: we really want to be in, and then make the
Speaker 1: choice from there. So, yeah, just a little episode, guys.
Speaker 1: I hope this is helpful. I usually get this sort
Speaker 1: of download if you know someone needs it. So I'm
Speaker 1: guessing there's a couple of people going through some i know,
Speaker 1: either life choices or they've got some they've got some
Speaker 1: crossroads coming up. But this is also just like a
Speaker 1: really nice exercise to do if you are lacking clarity
Speaker 1: with your life. So if you kind of just feel
Speaker 1: like what am I even doing? And also with the
Speaker 1: exercises like it's okay. If you can't exactly describe your
Speaker 1: next level self, you just almost need to get into
Speaker 1: the energy and have a bit of a vibe. So
Speaker 1: it's like, maybe you don't know what your next level
Speaker 1: self does as a career, but maybe it feels like
Speaker 1: you get into the feeling of I feel so fulfilled
Speaker 1: or I'm an absolute boss babe. I go into work,
Speaker 1: I run the show, I have this huge team, or
Speaker 1: maybe it's like I work from home. Just think of
Speaker 1: what you want, because you do know what you want.
Speaker 1: You know, oh, what you like. It's just about putting
Speaker 1: it out there and also realizing that it's not like
Speaker 1: you're going to sit down in one sitting of journaling
Speaker 1: and being like, oh, I know my next level self,
Speaker 1: I have so much clarity. I'm tapped into my intuition.
Speaker 1: This is amazing. It's like I'm laughing. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like if, yeah, if you're feeling a bit untapped out
Speaker 1: of your intuition, if you're feeling a bit lost, if
Speaker 1: you have got crossroads and everything's feeling a bit fuzzy,
Speaker 1: it's like, make some space and make some time to
Speaker 1: do this journally exercise, you know, not just once but
Speaker 1: a couple of times a week, because I guarantee you
Speaker 1: different stuff will come up. And when you're giving yourself
Speaker 1: space and when you're giving yourself more room to dream
Speaker 1: and more room to really embody that next level self,
Speaker 1: you'll get more comfortable and you'll be able to you know,
Speaker 1: manifest that and really bring that in to fruition. Thank
Speaker 1: you guys so much for listening. I appreciate it so much,
