The post Five Element Fridays – Nourishing Relationships Like Metal and Water – 5EF16 appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

If you survived your family on the holidays… let's talk about it! How to thrive at social events, not just survive. What do you do when you've changed, and you're no longer in alignment with family and friends.

"Maybe you used to be in alignment, but now you've changed and you're not in alignment anymore…"

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• Social Compliance and the Holidays
• Be a Hero, Saint or Alchemist at social events
• The Holiday Authenticity "No Rule Rules"
• What is Chaotic Energy?

Thought Quotes:

"Just Walk Away from the arguments… don't take the bait!"

"I'm not the compliant type in general, maybe I'm more like a general disrupter. Maybe more the non-socially compliant person, but in a nice way!"

"You say 'challenging' like it's a good thing… pushing your buttons, being passive aggressive, being short-tempered, angry, frustrated…"

The post 068 The Post-Apocalyptic, I-Survived-the-Holidays Podcast appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

What's the difference between a New Year's Resolution and a New Year's Revolution? What's holding you back from lasting change? Who's holding you back? It's time to move forward. Channel your inner honey badger!

"Honey Badger don't care!"

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• The I-Ching (our favorite I-Ching tool is at Divination.com)
• Why New Year's Resolutions don't work
• Change comes from within
• Revolution is massive change
• The 10 Steps of The Authenticity Revolution

Thought Quotes:

"It can be scary or frightening when you change your identity because there's no going back. Revolution is massive change… and it's hard, and it's chaotic… and it feels totally terrifying because you know it's impossible to go back once you do it."

"If you're in an alternative universe and you're listening, come back to this universe, this dimension and be in real time…"

"You will change… you better be ready!"

"Define what you want to change in your life."

The post 067 Start Your New Year's Revolution Right Now! appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

Senses and sensibility… Earth and Metal make a nourishing couple on many levels.

"Earth and metal are both about their selfless desire to help others."

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• How Earths and Metals get along (or not)

Thought Quotes:

"If Earth and Metal meet on sacred ground, then all will be well in the Earth/Metal realm."

"Sometimes Earths and Metals clash. Earth likes to harvest the bounty and give it away, feeling abundant and prosperous. Metal likes to conserve and save, cherishing what's most important."

"Most importantly, Earths handle all the social communications in a partnership, which is a huge relief for Metals."

Talk, talk and talk some more. The Social Butterflies of the Elemental world are the Fire/Earth couples!

"For long-term success, Fires need to keep that passion in play."

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• How Woods and Fires get along (or not)

Thought Quotes:

"Why are we only talking about the things the Fire person wants to talk about?"

"I think the other issue is Earth can be very vocal when they're disappointed with their Fires, which is kind of like throwing a wet blanket on Fire self-esteem. You shovel Earth on a Fire to put it out."

"Fire needs to know it can be forgiven and forgotten."

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

Are you more of a Knight, Saint, or Magician? How do you live your life… are you trying to fix problems, accept them, or harmonize them? Take a closer look at the how and the why you do what you do in the world! Alchemists choose to grow internally, while balancing and harmonizing with their external world. Listen in as we have a convo about the ease of rising above the suffering. And we tell a few jokes along the way. Laughing is not optional.

"Life invariably ends up delivering more good stuff than you could ever have imagined when you live life without what you call in Chinese Medicine…Rebellious Qi!"

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• What is the Hero?
• The tendency for Woods to be the Hero at times.
• Using the Nine Palaces to understand life's challenges.
• What is the Saint?
• The flow of life and the "Saint Trick"
• The "maybe" story.
• What is the Alchemist?
• External vs. Internal Alchemy.
• How do Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism differ on this level?

Thought Quotes:

"Through acceptance the Saint surrenders to what is. So the Saints are perfectly okay with whatever comes. They don't need to fight and struggle."

"When confronted with a challenge or a struggle in life, it's the Hero's role to overcome these obstacles."

"The Alchemists say even though it's all an illusion, you're here to experience the illusion in order to experience a personal transformation."

"And we're back to the game of transformation!!!"

What happens when Waters become too unpredictable, and Earths become too analytical you ask? Come jump into our dirty, muddy, Earth Water episode!

"Earths love the excitement and variability that water has to offer"

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• How Earths and Waters get along (or not)

Thought Quotes:

"Earths love the intrigue and want to dig deep to get to know those Waters."

"Earths tend to plan and be predictable and Waters tend not to plan too much."

"I'm sure there's many of them listening to this podcast."

"That may not be our demographic… we're more the lazy lizard demographic."

"If you can't just dive in then you need to take that baby step. That little leap of faith, and then you'll take that bigger leap on faith!"

"Yeah I like that, a baby step based on YOU."
