Living and Loving Your Life with Chantel Allen

I want you to ponder a profound question: "What would love do?" This simple yet potent inquiry holds the key to unlocking our truest selves and guiding us towards a life filled with authenticity and alignment.

In this episode, we unravel the dichotomy between the ego and the essence of love. Our ego often leads us astray, causing us to act in ways that betray our deepest values and desires. It can cloud our judgment, fueling fear, insecurity, and selfishness. But when we consciously choose to drop into our true selves, we tap into the boundless reservoir of love that resides within each of us.

As we navigate the complexities of life, from decision-making dilemmas to challenging relationships, asking ourselves, "What would love do?" becomes our compass. It empowers us to act from a place of compassion, empathy, and authenticity. It simplifies the most intricate situations, guiding us towards choices that honor our higher selves and serve the greater good.

Join us on this journey of self-discovery and transformation. Share this podcast with your loved ones and invite them to explore the profound implications of living by the mantra, "What would love do?" Together, let's create a community where we support each other in embodying the essence of love in every aspect of our lives.

And if you're eager to delve deeper into these transformative topics, consider joining our CALM Connection Project (CCP). Here, you'll find a supportive space to explore, learn, and grow alongside like-minded individuals who are committed to embracing love as the guiding force in their lives.

We all want to feel like we have a place in this world. We want to be accepted and appreciated.

However, the way we do that, really matters.

Many of us may find that we tend to do what we can to fit in. We try to like the shows, the podcasts or songs of our friends to fit in and have something to talk about. Maybe you buy the clothes, say more things or do more things because you're trying to fit in. But how do you feel when you're trying to fit in? Usually it's a graspy heavy place. And it doesn't work long term. Fitting in is a constantly changing thing since it's all based on external things.

Vs.

Belonging. Belonging is being who you are. In fact belonging never asks you to change who you are, it demands you be who you are. Belonging has ease attached to it. It's internal.

So how do we shift from fitting in to belonging? Let's discuss that today on the podcast.

Do you ever have those moments when you're feeling an emotion and you get stuck trying to figure out why?

And as you try to figure it out- you find that you get frustrated?

We've all heard that phrase "when emotions are high and intelligence is low" but for some reason we still think we need to figure it all out when we're feeling super emotional.

What if trying to figure it out is half the problem? What if we just need to learn to validate the emotion to help navigate the situations that feel so heavy at times?

Today we revisit the CALM method and apply it to this situation.

C- Learn to call it out. Even if you don't know the name of it, learn to acknowledge it.

A- Allow it. This step can take some time but work to be able to see and experience the emotion without needing to change it.

L- Listen to it and Let it be. It has a good reason for being there. If it feel safe, learn to let the emotion speak and you listen. Validate what it shares.

M- Move with it. Bring it with you now with the intent of allowing the emotion.

We need to learn to notice the emotions before they're exploding but if we're exploding its ok too. CALM the emotion.

When we are sick- do we try to just solve for it by doing more? Do we go for a run, or clean more? Do we try to understand where it's coming from?

Not usually. Usually we just know that we're not doing good, we give ourselves the support we think we need, and we rest. We take it easy.

The same is how we can support our emotions. Instead of just ignoring they're there, trying to outperform them or do something different- let's learn to slow down and be with them. We don't need to understand them. We just need to see them. That is the way through.

Five years ago, if someone had told me that I would take 8 weeks off my podcast- I would have dismissed that idea. Back then, I would have told you that wasn't what successful people do. But this year, things were different. This year with a lot of unknowns, I decided to embark on a journey or self-discovery and healing and today I'm eager to share my experience and insights with you. Can't wait to hear what you think!

First off- let's celebrate!! This podcast is 5 years old. 260 episodes and still going strong. Thank you for being apart of this community. I would love for you to share this podcast with 5 people AND leave a podcast review if you haven't yet. You are all amazing and appreicate your love and support.

This week also marks my 40th birthday. 40 years. I'm old :). Or maybe I'm young.

I have been reflecting back on 40 years of living and 5 years of this podcast. There has been such a transformation over my life. Coaching has changed so much for me over the past 5 years. At first it was all about getting something from it and helping others get something from it. However, that has shifted dramatically. I'm not about helping you get someplace different. My goal with coaching is to help you come home to yourself. Know yourself. Trust yoruself. And connect you more to your Heavenly Father.

As part of that. We need to learn how to surrender more to the things we are aware of. Instead of trying to fix everything, just know you see it and that's enough. Emotions, stories and patterns- as soon as we become aware of them- that is all that was needed. We need to surrender to the idea that we have control over letting those things go. Learning to see them and allow them to be there is all that is required. Let them be.

Do you ever worry that your kids not having friends in the way you think they should- might be a bad thing?

Do you find yourself worrying what is going on?

Do you blame yourself?

Do you try to 'fix' the problem?

What if I shared with you that having no friends isn't a bad thing after all? How would you look at the situation differently? How would you approach your kids situations?

Today I want to share my own personal experience with this and what I'm choosing to do with it differently.

How many times have you heard that we should avoid our triggers?

How many times do you notice what triggers you and try to distract away from it? Or even blame the trigger for the way you feel?

Many of us, especially in the self-development world have heard the term triggers and have actually be taught to not give our power to triggers.

While I agree we don't ever want to give something outside of us our power, I also don't want to just dismiss our triggers.

I believe that our triggers could be a great opportunity for us to learn more about what needs to be healed within.

Triggers can be a great teacher.

Triggers can be a blessing.

Today I want to share how to recognize our triggers and what to do with them to shift them to being an opportunity rather than a negative thing to avoid.
