Let me tell you a story. I used to be a yes man. I used to be someone that would never decline anything that people wanted me to do. Because of that I undeniably made less results in my healing trauma journey and all of that but it was very difficult for me to learn how to say no. It's not an easy thing to do and I just want to say if you relate then read on because I'll tell you exactly how I overcame this, how I learned to say no. I learned to say no because I just realised something: If you say yes then you will be more like that person but if you're honest do you really want to be that person? Do you want to have a similar lifestyle and look to that person? Most of the time people would say: “No.” So that's one way to begin. The second way is developing courage. Now the thing with courage is that a lot of people think, "Oh that's just not feeling fear at all" but no, it's whenever you feel fear but you do it anyway. That's the whole point of it and that's how you be courageous. Practise this skill. The third thing is just stopping being a perfectionist. Now a lot of times people delay these uncomfortable conversations, like saying no to your parents to go to university or whatever, because they're perfectionists, in their mind they think they have to say the most excellent perfect way to explain this but in reality all they need to do is just blurt it out and just say it and that's it, that's all there is to it, it does not have to be perfect at all. The reason why this applies to mental health is that you will get a lot of opportunities to, I don't know, go to this holiday or whatever but maybe you just want to, I don't know, focus on your studies or your work for a season and you would be happier doing that. Well then this is the skill that you need for those moments when they arise, and there are tons of other excellent uses for it. Thank you for reading. Hope it was valuable.

Is using AI spiritual? Is it giving my power away? What does AI do to my vibration? And my connection to the divine? In today’s email I want to share with you a balanced perspective and place I’ve come to within myself and how I show up in the world Saying AI is bad or “is not spiritual” is like saying the internet is bad.. Or not spiritual Yet there are spiritual messages, texts, and videos sharing positive messages all around the world that would NOT exist if it weren’t for the internet You wouldn’t know who I was if it wasn’t for a video you’ve seen of mine from the internet So personally I think that the way we relate to AI depends on the consciousness we use it with In a recent 21 day challenge I did, I integrated an AI worksheet tool that people could use for becoming aware of their core patterns underneath the surface It is an AI tool that people used that would reflect back language patterns in their stories about love, friends, purpose etc And it reveled so much information about the subconscious side of people that people were blown away by it People in the beginning had resistance to using the tool however once people in the community started posting their breakthroughs people caught on and would experience it too I use some AI in my coaching process in the Shift Academy to help people with pattern recognition and belief work I do NOT use it for nervous system regulation and healing I also had reservations when I first integrated something called Aaron AI into my coaching programs too.. It's basically an AI version of me programed with every youtube video I have ever made AND every coaching call I have ever done AND every live event I have ever done Once again it doesn’t replace me… as I still do a ton of live coaching (its my passion!) BUT it does allow my work to help more people in a personal way
