Inspired Action Alchemy

Are you getting what you need in the sleep department? Are you struggling with daily bad sleep habits? Listen as we talk more about the 9 Palaces, the Health Palace, and how Sleep is important to your overall health. Health hacks and movement of Qi as well as one helpful "cheat" if you can't get enough exercise.

"Sleep is a time of letting go of your resistance… When you go to bed at night… you are releasing resistance and that means you get to reset your body. That reset is so essential to your overall health."

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

• Sleep is a critical aspect of your Health Palace
• Strategies for better sleep:
  • Daily meditation
  • Turning off your electronics 1-2 hour before bed
  • Reading an old-school physical book
  • Making rules and boundaries around your nightly routine
  • Blocking the light in your space (covering electronic lights and black-out curtains)
  • Getting the right sleeping temperature
  • Sleeping gear that can help (especially if you're Wood!)
  • Pericardium 8 Acu-point on your palm to help sleep
• Why Exercise is important for your Health Palace (especially for the Woods and Waters)
  • Not exercising can cause Qi Stagnation
  • Exercise can clear stuck/toxic emotions
  • The Massage "cheat"

Thought Quotes:

"If you're not sleeping well, you should definitely try meditation because you can get the same effects while your body is in that meditation state. Like the sleep state, you are rejuvenating… That's why we can heal. We regenerate."

"The body is so amazing. I always say: 'My body knows how to do it right.'"

"I have the smart phone addiction like everyone else, and the only way I can force myself to not continuously check it by my bed is I made a little bed for it over in the other room, and I tuck it in at night, and then I go to bed."

The post 039 For Better Sleep… Let That Bleep Go! appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

Is your Health important to you? Why do you do things to yourself that are not always healthy? Do you even want to live a healthy life? What is Clean Eating, and how can you do it more? Can you choose to make changes? Why the Health Palace really matters?

"If you ask 10 people what to eat, you're going to get 10 different answers. "

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

• The Health Palace belongs to the Wood Element – the element of decision making
• The Water Element is about doubt and fear or Trust with a capital "T"
• Simple strategies… what are the healthy options?
• When you cook yourself, you get to pick your own ingredients. Cooking with clean ingredients…
• Clean eating – eliminating processed foods. Eating more healthy vegetables, fruits, local meats, organic. Eliminating dyes and additives… taking the crap out that's not needed. Reading ingredient labels.
• Identifying your food allergies.
• Doing research about a lot of different foods.
• Eating nutrient dense food and counting your macros.
• Meat substitutes or gluten-free substitutes can be like junk food. Read the labels.
• Eating vegetarian and avoiding blood deficiency (pale tongue, feeling cold, tired or weak). Floradix or similar supplement for blood.
• How do you feel after eating grains and sugar?
• Slow Carb Diet (see link below)
• Magic Day: eating whatever you want one day a week.
• Movies: The Magic Pill and That Sugar Movie (see links below)
• Ketogenic diet – a lifestyle change.

Thought Quotes:

"Some of us just don't have any Earth Element in us and self-care is really rough."

"Time gets blamed for bad food choices all the time."

"Like Oprah, I was a gluten glutton for sure."

"Turn the Food pyramid upside down and see what shakes out of it."

The post 038 What the Health is Still Going On? (Part 2) appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

"Laughter is the best medicine. Life doesn't have to always be serious. "

• Health is the domino palace — if your Health goes down all of your palaces start to fall
• Change your identity, combat the Lizard Brain. Jim Fortin's approach.
• Floating downstream – Release Rebellious Qi meditation (see Inspired Action App for free download). The acu-point for Rebellious Qi is called "Not At Ease" (Stomach 19).
• Doable strategies for change, not stressful strategies
• HOMEWORK:
  • Say mantra to yourself, "I'm in perfect health" and manifest perfect health. It's not a prayer, it's not a wish, it's an affirmation: "I am in perfect health."
  • What do you resonate with? What are you in alignment with?
  • Take a look at your overall healthy choices. Are you eating the way you want to eat or are you waiting for that perfect world for Oprah's personal chef to knock on your door? Are you drinking enough water? Are you sleeping well? What do you really want do to nourish your body? Are you thriving or surviving?

"People are either super obsessed with Health or they don't think about it at all. And they take it for granted. Which is sometimes the better way to be. Because if you're not thinking about it at all then that means you're in good health"

"Carpal tunnel was created by the universe to kick people out of jobs that they hate in the first place. They hate their job therefore their body kind of goes rogue."

"Now that it's February it's a good time to have one of these real conversations with yourself about what's really achievable and an easy path to change."

"Modern science is full of conflicting ideas and we're terrified of doing something wrong."

The post 037 What the Health is Going On? appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

Love is in the air… are you feeling it? Learn about the Who, the What, and the Why in the Relationship palace. How does your Element affect your Relationship Palace in the Nine Palaces? Are you getting what you need in the Love Department? Are you a giver or a taker? The Five Elements and how they relate to your relationships. The only person you can change is yourself.

"If you're married to a zebra, don't ask them to become a leopard. Learn to love the stripes."

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

• How the Five Elements relate to each other:
  • Same/Same Relationships: Wood/Wood, Fire/Fire, Earth/Earth, Metal/Metal, Water/Water
  • Nourishing Relationships: Wood/Fire, Fire/Earth, Earth/Metal, Metal/Water, Water/Wood
  • Control Relationships: Earth/Water, Water/Fire, Fire/Metal, Metal/Wood, Wood/Earth

Thought Quotes:

"One of you is more like a child. And the other of you plays more of a parental role. When the parent gets sick… the child totally freaks out. It doesn't make sense. They're not getting what they normally get."

"These are the opposite attract relationships… they're spicy, they're hot! It's very whoooo, exciting."

"The only way they can take back control is through the insulting cycle… by insulting them. They bicker over every little thing… they're having a control fight all the time."

"Once you understand the energy dynamics and accept the fact that this is natural, this is life's energy working in your relationship. Once you bring consciousness to that… you go, 'Oh, I'm being insulting and mean to the person I love because I'm not getting what I need to explain to them across to them.' And if the other person realizes that's happening, they can work consciously to be a better communicator. These dynamics are present in every relationship."

The post 034 Nine Palaces – Career Palace | Love It or Leave It? appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

"I truly feel that Inspired Action and positive action are more powerful than words. You can use positive thinking all day long, but until you get some positive action, things are not going to change."

• DIY Life Strategy
  • Step 1: Honesty – the buck stops here. No more excuses.
    • If you could fix yourself what would you change?
    • How many decisions do you make every day based on money?
    • Where is your career? Do you have a job or a career.
    • Relationship — do you have one or want one?
    • Health–how's you health? Do you want to lose weight, get in shape, or start a new routine?
  • Accountability–Am I accountable for the actions or I'm doing or not doing? Where are your January resolutions come February or March?
    • Non-judgmental-ness–it's not going to matter if I eat that one cheeseburger. I'll go to the gym later. It's a slippery slope.
    • Get an Accountability partner
  • Homework:
    • Imagine you're your own coach or work with a friend.
    • Pick one or two areas really important to you: career, health, wealth, relationship, or creativity.
    • Write three things where you are B.S.-ing yourself… e.g. something you're not doing but you really want to do.
    • Ask why you want to do it (or stop doing it). You need a compelling reason to shift your perspective and change your identity. Take away the obstacles and make a daily action plan.
    • How to become a Marathon runner.

"It's amazing how people fudge their own stories about themselves."

"Where is your career? Do you have a job or a career. The difference is: Do you have a job that you do just for money or do you have a career you love to do and, oh by the way, bonus! You get paid for it. Is that career your passion?"
