I don’t stop my own learning just because I guide others. Evolution, and my hunger to level up, keep me learning so I can evolve for myself, my family and the people I serve.
Something was said to me recently. I had “heard” it many times before, but I never truly HEARD it until now.
We can learn and learn and learn, but until our subconscious mind & soul are ready to receive it, we don’t really get it. That’s why I keep learning from a variety of people: books, webinars, podcasts, coaches, and trainings. When free isn’t enough anymore, paid is your next step. Free plants the seed. Going deeper makes it grow.
And the other day, deeper hit me in the face. Here’s what I heard: “Manifesting, creating the life you want and desire, is about finding the FEELING of that life. Feel it so deeply in your soul that you start to think, act, and feel like that person, even though it isn’t here yet.”
I’d heard that a hundred times. But I was always asking, "How do you do that when life is chaos? Work, home, kids. For me it was learning to navigate neurodivergence with my daughter, and it was chaotic ALL the time.
Here’s what I’m seeing and learning now:
- Don’t do this work from despair or lack. When you’re drained and your thoughts are in the toilet, your feelings follow. That is NOT the time to figure out who you need to become. You won’t hear or see it.
- Move first. Physiology is the fastest way out. A song you can move to walk to, a poem, or a speaker who lifts you. Even a little lift counts.
- As you start to lift, your whole body follows suit, including your mind, soul, and feelings. Here is when you start the work. Get clear on who you need to become. What do they look like? Feel like? Do every day? Write it down. Journaling is far more powerful than just thinking it or typing it.
- IMBED IT! Get it so clear you feel it in your body, then take one micro-momentum a day to live it. Mine was learning about neurodivergence so I could be the mother my daughter needed. The old version of me wasn’t working.
I HAD to change, but I did it without realizing what I was really doing until now. My micro-momentum at that time was not #3, I was getting out of #1, didn't know about #2. but I started micro-momentums of meditation even though my brain raced. It was becoming aware of my triggers and then catching them and breathing, slowing my nervous system so I could slowly stop the jerk reaction to be able to respond calmly.
Now, did you notice something? Movement, journaling, micro-momentum... you saw them in yesterday’s post too.
That’s not an accident. That’s the point.
The tools don’t change. WHERE you use them does. Yesterday I used them to get unstuck. Today I’m using them to become someone new. That’s what mastery looks like: simple tools, repeated until they’re automatic, applied everywhere.
I used them to become a better mom and wife. So why not use them to become a powerful brother, sister, daughter, son, business owner, leader, guide, speaker, or philanthropist, or whatever that is for you?
You already have the tools. What’s the next area of your life you’ll point them at?
Tell me below: What do YOU see in this post? No right or wrong; it's all about perception on where you are today.
