L. O. V. E. - Living an Outrageously Vibrant Existence

This is week 2 of the Feminine Power course by Claire Zammit. It was a challenging one! I honestly didn't make it all the way through the material because it required some deep excavation of my beliefs about myself and my power.  Claire asks some really challenging and important questions in this week and you may find yourself wanting to answer them as well.  The end goal was to identify where I uniquely felt powerful - once I did that things started to become clearer around what some next steps are going to look like for me.  But sometimes when you start to find your power you are also thrown curve balls to test how committed you are to standing in that power, this last week has also been a very personally challenging week and I almost didn't release this episode.

Shout out's this week to the book Play Your Bigger Game by Rick Tamlyn and Episode 16 of the Empowered You Podcast with Kelly Espino (sorry, I don't have a link for this one). 

So there's something that people are talking about more and more that is a pretty significant aspect of peoples lives - Depression.  I've struggled with it in the past and I remember being warned to not talk about it because it could impact the way people perceived me and my opportunities in the future.  The problem I find with this is that it equates a persons mental or physical state with their identity, we are so much more than the circumstances of our existence and equating circumstances with identity prevents us from Living an Outrageously Vibrant Existence.

This week I encourage everyone to listen to the following two podcasts by Dr. Caroline Leaf - Dr. Leaf is a cognitive neuroscientist, bestselling author, mental health and mind expert. How to NOT let toxic people, words, or situations affect your mental health and 3 Simple nutrition tips to boost brain & mental health AND improve memory & cognition.

As you go about your next week see if you can become the observer of your emotions; rather than using your emotional state to define yourself by can you separate yourself from it and simply notice what you are experiencing.

I enjoy video games and Dungeons and Dragons - I freely admit, I'm a nerd! I find that there are some pretty good analogies for life that can be found in games of any sort and when you view your own life as one big virtual reality simulation things can get pretty fun.  We all have a tendency to be super hard on ourselves and forget that life is about learning and growth so I wanted to talk about small ways I make life fun for myself and the importance of being aware of the stories and experiences we create for ourselves.

I gave shout outs this week to my favorite journal, the Good Days Start With Gratitude journal, and TWO podcasts that I hope you are already listening to because they are always so inspiring! Check out Leveling Up: Creating Everything from Nothing, Episode 90 and Mind Your Business Podcast, Episode 274.

~ How can you make practicing gratitude and affirmations into a game?

~ What is the narrative you create for your life, can you separate fact from interpretation?

Some of you may remember when the word “whatever” was the hot word used by girls every where. I’m dating myself now by referring to the movie Clueless specifically. In this episode I’m talking about bringing the word “whatever” back but as a tool for empowerment. Facing the FOMO we all feel and not letting a limited mindset drive our decisions.

I gave a shout out this week to the podcast Adventures in Happiness ep. 71 - Mantras in Motion. This episode rocked my world this last week and I highly recommend it!

~ Where do you see Fear Of Missing Out showing up in your life?

~ Pay attention to how many product pitches you hear in the next week.

~ Find opportunities to practice saying "whatever" and letting go!

Living an Outrageously Vibrant Existence. That is what it’s all about as I (Alisa) introduce myself and why I started the podcast. I am not a manifestation maven, or a love guru, I am a normal person working through the process of creating the bigger more vibrant life of my dreams – and YOU my friend can come along for the ride! Let’s walk this journey together, talk and have fun knowing that there is someone out there who gets it!

We talk on this episode about starting where we are at in our growth journey and stepping into doing the small things we already know to do.

~ Meditate and pray every day

~ Practice an attitude of gratitude

~ Journaling

~ Record your dreams

~ Play the What IF game

~ Recognize small manifestations and miracles

~ Get moving! - exercise or just dance in the kitchen
