Bringing Power To Friendships with Dr. Marisa Franco, the friendship expert. Her work around friendship is crucial especially after the pandemic year and with the rise of devices, social media and the abundance of business. This conversation felt like medicine as it healed even my own understanding of what's possible in friendships.

Bringing Power To Friendships with Dr. Marisa Franco

I wanted to create a space where I could chat with thought leaders, spiritual luminaries, authors, and health and wellness experts to discuss how we can free ourselves spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, and beyond. I care about mindset, movement, and positive relationships and I created this podcast for people who also care about these topics. You’ll also hear passionate solo episodes where Sylvester goes deep into a zone of consciousness and talk about subjects that are calling me.

How To Manifest Abundance | Practical Steps Based On Neuroscience and Your Actions

This is a chat from my group coaching community, Mastery Circle. We meet every two weeks to talk about life and everything related to how we can step into being a master of our own life. We just finished covering leadership, and now we are talking about all things abundance.

Abundance is your birthright. You deserve it right now, no matter what you think about your story. We were put here to feel, to observe, to share, to create, and the more abundant we allow ourselves to feel, the better. It's actually disrespectful to the people who came before you to downplay your life. I'm serious. It's a slap in the face to the people who have died for you to live. Never take this life for granted. Never sit in your sorrow and think that's it. We talked about this at the top of the call. Yes, some emotions are shadows, are darker, and can make us feel like the idea of "abundance" is not for us. I want to validate what you feel first and foremost because we all will. That's called being a healthy human being, and true healing means taking the time to integrate the sorrow, the sadness, and whatever form of anger or grief we may feel. And, since healing means wholeness, that means that we must look at the big picture. That also means you deserve to feel good, to love the life that you have, and to attract abundance in all things. This is not about greed, taking more, or crushing anyone else. Nope, abundance is the idea and energy that you do not move from fear or insecurity to the mindset of lack. Take full ownership of your life and part of that ownership is accepting that you deserve to feel good, work towards meaningful things, and have healthy people in your life.

- 1:29 - Creating From A Place Of Abundance
- 9:10 - Giving Yourself Time Off
- 18:12 A Personal Update On Life

When creating from scarcity, you create more scarce environments, lack, and anxiety. You are creating from a place of "I'm not worthy."

Believe that there is enough for you. Enough money. Enough opportunity. Enough genuine energy. Enough healthy food. Believe that there is a simple life of luxury available to you.

When you feel overwhelmed, if you choose to live in an abundance mindset, you easily permit yourself to take things off your plate so you can focus. 

In life, there are moments when certain things need to be sacrificed for other aspects of your life to thrive.

My mindset is that I have to attract quality. I have to go at a pace that is organic for me. I create from the place that works for me because I care about my heart, soul, and everything I do to feel authentic. 

Are you creating your life from abundance or scarcity? Look at the energy of the two and ask yourself how you are showing up.

Make a declaration that you will no longer live in a scarcity mindset. The second you choose to live in abundance, the universe around you and everyone around you will notice the difference. 

If you consciously choose to free your energy and to be a deliberate creator of your life, what will happen is some people will adjust. Some people will support you, help you on the same page, and support you on the journey. Some people are so deep into their wounds that they can't understand your changes. Neither is your business. Your business is to draw boundaries with people who try to disrupt your energy. Your business opens your heart and space to people who want you to live in a place of abundance. 

9:10 - Giving Yourself Time Off

Let go of the idea of FOMO. You are not missing out. The concept of "missing out" is taking you away from your life and from appreciating where you are in your journey. 

When it comes to giving yourself time off, you must understand that being refreshed is always great. Burnout is a real experience, and it gets created and justified by the idea of scarcity. This is why I preach that we must have an abundance mindset.

The child version of you may have a scarcity mindset regarding money, dating, or relationships. The child has to move to the back seat, and you have to give the wheel to the adult version of you. The healthy, integrated adult version of you fully believes in abundance. The adult version of you can attract and accept abundance in all aspects of life.

What you believe will be true.
What you believe will be true.
If you believe there is not enough, then that will be true.
That will be true if you believe there is enough for you.

18:12 A Personal Update On Life

My mom came to visit. It was a moment that touched my soul as it was my mom's first time coming to Arizona. I feel so full and grateful that she could come out here. If you are at all struggling with the relationship with your parents, understand that they won't always be here. People die. Do you want to continue to hold grudges? Do you want to continue having them to standards they can't reach? 

Get to know them for who they are. No person is perfect. We are all on this journey, learning and figuring things out. Your parents have made mistakes, and there is no doubt about it, but how long will we hold grudges against them? And what I am most concerned with is the consequence of holding these grudges.
