Removing the boundaries from your thinking.

Breathe Life® Podcast: Eps 039 - Endurance by The Faheem Mujahid Podcast

I recently shared in a conversation with one of my favorite spirits when he mentioned he recently felt wronged by a close friend. After an intense back and forth conversation between them, instead of revisiting the potential hurt feelings or remaining wounds from the previous discussion, his friend chose to ghost him. (Disappear without communication aka - the path of least resistance) My client was ok with the possibility of their relationship coming to an end. He was ok with the changing of seasons if that what's indeed needed to happen. He decided to focus his energy on the collections of blessings & lessons gained throughout their friendship. // His only resistance showed up when he attempted to find closure on what happened. Although their relationship had dissolved, he still required the participation of another person to arrive at a place of closure. He felt his closure was stolen away due to the absent manner his friend decided to end things between them. //

:

The questions he and I poured into became, where do you go to find closure/peace when the option for both are not made available? How do you allow yourself to get beyond the hurt feelings, confusion, and frustration to begin the healing process? How do you find closure when what's required is taken away from you? How do you free yourself from needing that relief from someone else? // Our reality is that we exist in a world that does whatever we can to avoid conflict and/or the perception of conflict. Rarely will we come across individuals willing to display to courage and strength it takes to clearly and effectively communicate their feelings when met with their emotions. We reward those of us who avoid difficult conversations. We support running away from challenging moments and/or uncomfortable situations. The upsetting truth: that reality isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The more efficient you become at answering the above questions, the better equipped you will be when met with moments of needed closure.

I was asked recently by several Breathe Life tribe members if I had plans to address the current racial climate existing within our country. These individuals shared their feelings regarding the importance of my message. How effective my platform, purpose, and words have been in the past for them. Due to the weight & impact of what was showing up, they wanted to hear from me.

:

When I was younger, I remember being memorized by the elegance, confidence, and delivery from key cultural leaders such as Malcolm X, James Baldwin. Their ability to speak to the pain of a people, while also instilling a sense of pride left me inspired. It wasn't long before I wanted to impact and inspire others on a much smaller scale in a similar way. I believed I could inspire people through the lane of consciousness, focusing my platforms, mindfulness events & energy towards the collective healing of humanity. Like most, the conversation around race has always presented its share of challenges. Whenever the conversation around race arrived, I usually felt ill-equipped to share my opinion & voice. Although I understood the powerful impact of racism on our country, I preferred to avoid the conversation altogether.

:

Due to my experiences, emotional triggers, the overall history & impact of racism, holding space for this discussion won't be easy. The subject of race and racism is messy; it's uncomfortable; it triggers things within all of us, no matter our race and background.

:

I now understand the importance of my voice in the space of racism. I now understand to be absent in this discussion is the same as being silence. I look forward to mindfully adding my energy, love, and presence to the collective healing and impact needed to promote lasting change.

Often when the topic of COVID19 enters the conversation, we arrive at how this moment has already impacted our current lifestyle. The changes and challenges we're experiencing, how we're adapting our new reality. Rarely do we explore our vision for re-entering the world. How this experience has altered the way, we view ourselves, purpose & work. What about this experience that will contribute the most to your development? In which ways has this experienced clarified your meaning?

:

During a recent conversation with a fellow coaching friend, she expressed how this season, like most, has caused her to adapt coaching platform. Whereas before, she would spend countless hours commuting for her in-person meetings. She was now being thrown headfirst into the space of virtual coaching. After experiencing and adjusting her sessions remotely, she realized the quality of her work and life increased. Her re-introduction goal is now to maintain a majority virtual coaching client base.

:

Her newly explored perspective so inspired me, I went on my journey to do the same. How can I love myself better by establishing more balance in my schedule? By limiting my intake, in what ways will it allow me to pour more into the clients & coaching I'm already servicing?

Due to the recent pandemic, our lives are literally changing in front of our eyes. Certain expectations, habits, relationships with ourselves and others are no longer valid reference points. For some, this moment will require a personal connection of self-worth, an upgrade in faith and a deeper source of resilence. The complete separation from the small "i" of self to the larger "I" of the whole.

:

I'm having conversations with friends, family members and former clients I haven't spoken to in years. Some of these conversations are leading to some major breakthroughs. Since the beginning of this experience, I personally know individuals who credit their growth solely to the uncertainty of this current unfolding. // Out of all the ways we'll be challenged throughout this experience, I believe the most challenging requirement lies in our ability to defind our relationship to this moment.

:

It's easy to fall into a space of fear, anxiety, sadness. It's easy to be annoyed by the interruption of your 2020 plans, to tap into a vitim mindset. For those closely impact by the lost of family members, friends, love ones...it's easy to feel lost and wronged by the timing & outcome. //

:

I can connect to all those emotions. I too initially shared a similar level of concern & fear. At no point do I believe in ignoring or not validating your real emotions and/or the real concerns you might have. // This moment is here, rather we believe we played a roll in its creation or not... We're in it now. The question becomes, now that we're sharing this collective suffering... in which ways can we promote the collective healing needed? How can we individually promote a relationship of gratitude..even in these trying times? Which tools/lessons are you committed to taking a pouring into the next chapters in your life? Let's Breathe Life into this subject.

During a recent conversation with a client/friend the subject of mindset cam up. He and I began to explore, all the areas of his life to determine which mindset ruled the supreme.

:

We uncovered that for him, his life was unquestionably ruled by his fixed belief system. As a result of his fixed mindset, where others saw opportunities for feedback & growth, he viewed them as moments of judgment. Doing whatever he could to protect his ego. Experiences that might have potentially lead to major growth and/or unfolding for him were instead placed on the "Do not distrub list."

:

How many of us battle with a similar story? How many of us spend moments of our lives challenging/improving ourselves through growth opportunities or do we find it much easier to judge and limit ourselves?

:

Inspired by our conversation, I went on a personal journey to explore honestly & openly what approach and mindset I had on all the areas in my life. Where I once believed, ONE Mindset rather Fixed or Growth would take precedent over everything. I quickly discovered the ignorance in my understanding.

Can you shift the energy of an outcome you're currently having by simply shifting your mindset & energy? Let's discuss.

Breathe Life®

Hey Tribe!!! Today's discussion begins with a simple question, Can we shift an experience we're having by simply moving our awareness into a different level of consciousness? One of my all-time favorite spiritual teachers Wayne Dyer would reference actually entering into situations that felt heavy with negativity and by merely bringing his awareness into said experience, he was able to shift the entire experience for himself & others. // Join me as I unpack a recent situation I found myself in and how shifting my mindset made all the difference.
