Big Shift Energy

Summary

In this kick-ass episode, Amanda dives headfirst into the wild world of the narrative of work / life balance, and why it matters big-time in keeping your life from feeling like it is spiraling out of control. She unpacks what harmony really means, spinning it out from its musical roots to its narrative nuances. She busts the myth that harmony equals a perpetual high, and underscores the real deal - finding harmony right here, right now. Amanda drops the Wheel of Life exercise as a kickass tool to pinpoint where to create harmony in this moment. Wrapping up, she rallies you to put yourself first, and craft your own harmony from the inside out. Get ready to rock your harmony!

Takeaways

• Harmony is not the same as balance and does not necessarily mean everything is equal or symmetrical.
• Finding harmony in our lives involves creating a sense of connection and fitting the puzzle pieces together.
• Ever heard of the Wheel of Life exercise? It's a game-changer, a compass guiding us to shake things up and find that sweet harmony.
• Harmony is about finding peace and serenity in the present moment, rather than striving for constant euphoria.
• Prioritizing self-care and taking care of oneself is essential for creating harmony in life.

Sound Bites

• "Balance, for me as a dancer, is a transition period. Balance is from one move in a dance to the next. It is not a place of permanence. It is only a place in transition."
• "And a misconception that I had to shift away from is thinking about harmony as euphoria."
• "Ask not what you can do for others, but what you can do for you."

• "I hope I do f*ck up. Like I really do because... That means I'm trying, I'm doing something different." - Amanda
• "A huge thing that was uncovered to me was my relationship with money. That was a shift that has and will probably change my life." - Kaitlin
• "When you're in that chrysalis, you're in that stage where you're turning into a butterfly, if a butterfly comes by and is like, you've got this, you've got this, you're almost there, then we get to fly together. And then before you know it, you've already been flying and you didn't even realize it." -Amanda
• "Imagine money was your partner. You would not demand your partner or tell your partner, gosh, I'm so disappointed that you didn't do this." -Kaitlin

On this episode of Big Shift Energy, Amanda, the self-proclaimed silly-goose-host, discusses the magic of wordsmithing our thoughts. She calls out the world 'should' as being a total party foul and champions the use of 'could.' This simple wordsmith upgrade, swings the door off its hinges to open new opportunities. She emphasizes using language and thoughts as the first step towards affirmations that don't suck.

Shift's Happening Here:

• Words are magical and they can shape our thoughts and experiences.
• Simple shifts, like swapping 'should' with 'could,' is like flicking a switch from dread to possibility.
• Mind your (thought's) biznass! Your thoughts are the steering wheel to your life's ride.
• Don't be shy about tooting your own horn. It's the express elevator to self-confidence and giddy-up-and-go!

What'd you say?

• "Real change, enduring change happens one step at a time." - RGB
• "Shame has its space and its place, and it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be in our head forever."
• "When we start to remove shame from our life, watch how powerful you become."
