I predict I’m going to ruffle some feathers and potentially get some hate mail with today’s episode because the title of this episode says, “What Religion May Not Be Giving You.” I know that it appears just from the title alone that I’m putting religion down. Looks though can be deceiving, friend! ?
In today’s episode I want to help you take whatever religious or spiritual beliefs you have and intensify them to be stronger!
You see, I was once a girl who sat in Christian sermons and LOVED the messages I would hear from positive Preachers which were things like, “Love and forgive others. Trust in God. Diminish the feelings of defeat. Live your best life."
I would sit in those sermons and think, “YES! I want all of that in my life.” I would pull out a pen and paper or be full of questions that I thought for sure would be answered with step-by-steps on how to do those things and it NEVER happened.
I walked away from those sermons feeling like I had NO idea how in the world to become the person that I (and God) wanted me to be.
These lack of steps made me feel like a loser. I felt like something was wrong with me that everybody else seemed to be living a great life and I was stuck trying to figure out how in the heck I could be the person I so wanted to be and what I was told God wanted me to be like.
It wasn’t until I discovered coaching did I finally get the steps-by-steps I was seeking on how to become the person that I (and God) wanted me to be! I would like to say that coaching was the answer to the prayers I had been praying but, truth be told, I had given up praying a long time ago. This is just how bad I used to despise religion, friend!! I thought for sure it wasn’t for me.
I’m SO thankful that coaching taught me exactly how to get what I wanted from life. I now encounter clients who too felt the way I did and felt like religion was giving them the right focus in life but, they wanted the steps.
Today, I’m going to break down some the how-to steps on some general religious/spiritual principles. No matter if you’re a Christian (like me), a Jew, a Hindu, just a spiritual person or not a spiritual person at all, these principles apply to you.
This episode is for anyone who wants to open their mind and increase their spiritual life. I’ve learned first-hand just how amazing living in a place connected with spirit can be and I would love to teach you how to feel this way too. I hope you love this episode!
