This one lights me up. I am bringing you resources from a beautiful soul I learn from right here on Skool. She is amazing. Check it out. Wisdom Wednesday with a little takeaway.

Today I want to share something from Dr. Joe. I love this guy; he takes the mystical and backs it by science. Makes sense of it for those of us who are logical and living in what we can see, taste, touch, and proof. This too was once me. If I didn't understand it or it wasn't backed by science or logic, I didn't always believe it. The unknown made me feel crazy because I wasn't in control, and I controlled as much as I possibly could. NOW: I love the unknown, the possibilities, and the moments and events we can't explain. I now look for options and possibilities in everything, every conversation, every event, or experience. Since I was able to open myself up to be curious, life has gotten so much easier; it flows as I have relaxed the rigidity. It is calm in letting go of the chaos from constant control. All from living in my head 24-7, moving that from my head to my heart and body. Paying attention to the signals, thoughts, and cues. For 40 plus years, the stress was slowly killing me. For the last 5+ years I have been living more free than I ever thought was possible. Not from money, not from more time, but from all that was not aligning with me. Some of the shifts I made early on. 1. Choosing to learn and become curious 2. I am not a huge journaler, but I had to learn to start and take inventory of my emotions: when I was triggered, what triggered me, and if I could control it and choose to breathe and let it go if I couldn't. I HAD to take note of my job, what my responsibilities were, and what was coming to me because I could do it, not looking at whether I should do it or even have the bandwidth to do it and saying no and redirecting to someone else that could help; that should be the one to help. This didn't just help me but helped the company identify gaps and fix them. 3. I had to make some solid decisions to look and analyse my beliefs. What ones were real, what was protecting from the past and what ones were meant to be good and hang onto them. 4. I HAD to learn some basic breathwork. This is a simple yet so powerful basic tool.

No information, just an update. Busy day getting to the deck. Bitter sweet day. Bitter because we lost one of our wild baby bunnies today to a hawk, sweet because this is the most we got done in weeks! Between rain, mosquitoes and the heat. It’s been one of the slowest projects ever! Shouldn’t be too long now. What momentum did you start this week?

Your Life Doesn’t Change First Through Action. It Changes Through Your Emotional Home. For years, I believed my life was controlled by what happened around me. If someone upset me, I reacted. If life got hard, I felt overwhelmed. If something painful happened, I believed my emotions simply happened to me. That belief quietly shaped decades of my life. When my mom passed away, I spent years carrying grief in a way I didn’t know how to process. I stayed busy. I worked harder. I buried myself in doing because I didn’t have the tools to understand what was happening inside me. Years later, something very different happened. My grandmother passed away at 96 while I was over 5,000 kilometers away. I cried for a couple of hours over a few days. I found myself smiling instead. What shifted? I chose a different meaning. Instead of focusing on what was gone, I focused on everything she gave us. Her wisdom. Her wit. Her love. Her incredible health. The privilege of having her in my life for so long. The event hadn’t changed. The meaning had. That changed how I felt. And because I felt differently, I showed up differently. One of the ideas Tony Robbins has taught for years is that our lives are shaped by the meanings we attach to events. We don’t always control what happens, but we do have influence over the interpretation we give it. That realization changed everything for me. Most people try to change their actions first. “I’ll be more patient.” “I’ll stop yelling.” “I’ll eat better.” “I’ll finally slow down.” But actions don’t live in isolation. They grow out of your physical state, emotional home and thoughts all working together. Your state can shift your emotional home, which is built by your thoughts, your language, your meanings, and the feelings those create. Those feelings drive your actions. Those actions become your habits. Those habits create your life. Notice how often we try to fix the outside without ever looking at what’s happening inside. That’s what’s really exhausting.
