OWN YOUR SPACE, with Jason Johnson

If you have a feeling or thought that is sitting with you… something that’s important to you….then speak up… and ‘Say It.’

The only way for others to understand… is to take what you feel and put it out there.

Start the conversation.

Start the dialogue.

But the really important thing to remember…. Is to be intentional with what you say.

‘Say It’ with purpose and the intent of progress.

Progress is about being productive.

Being productive is about growth.

Growth is about being better than you were yesterday.

Isn’t that what we are all doing anyway? Isn’t that what life is about?….. Growth.

We learn to walk.

We learn to talk.

We learn to communicate.

And isn’t communication a two-way street? It’s about speaking, to be heard…. And about listening, to understand.

When we do it effectively…. Then we can build on it, for progress.

When you have 2 or more people together, engaged in progress, you start to gain momentum.

It’s… You + Me = We.

When you start to formulate something new, it’s synergy.

When people are synergistically involved with one another, they learn from one another and start to be impactful, for others. You start to ‘show up’ in ways that you did not, before. Then others take notice and it impacts them. You get the picture…. It becomes the ripple effect.

So… my friend…. Go out there TODAY… ‘say it, for growth’s sake’… be intentional… be kind… open your heart… open your mind… and have a positive impact on yourself…your day…. and for others.

THAT is self-leadership. It’s up to you…. Because others can not do it for you.

Be Blessed, my friend…. And Own Your Space… one moment at a time.

We are all moving in some sort of direction. We are trying to go somewhere specific. We are in motion… we are “busy” creatures.

We are balancing life, between work, home, friends….our own personal “wants” or needs. Let me ask you this… is your “busy” ….productive?

Are you making progress with your moments?

Or…does it feel like you’re spinning your wheels and just going in circles. Going round and round having the same results, the same experiences ….over and over again.

I believe it was Einstein that said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

It’s true. How can we expect a different outcome, if we aren’t doing things differently… if our behaviors are the same? And I’m not talking about quitting what you are doing. Because then, you are just taking your behaviors somewhere else.…. I’m talking about challenging yourself…. To better. I’m talking about taking a different approach to what you are doing. Challenging your perspective.

Changing how you look at things. Taking a different approach…. A different viewpoint.

This can apply to a project you’re working on…. It’s how we speak to ourselves…. Our behaviors….our relationships.

How we interact and communicate with ourselves and others….other human beings.

You’re a human being…. I’m a human being…. We are all human beings. When it comes down to the basic needs in life we all want the same things. We want to feel safe and have some level of comfort in our lives.

Because like our unique fingerprints… we are all different … different human beings. We are all unique creatures. We see and process things differently.

That’s ….perspective.

So the next time you are engaging with someone…. Don’t assume that they are having the same experience… and see or think about things the way you see and think about things. Discussing the situation is significantly important to establishing a baseline…. In order to move forward.

And…. This doesn’t mean you have to agree. It just means….you understand each other. And that, my friend, is more than half the battle. Beyond that, it’s about being mindful and respecting others’ opinions. Being kind… and respectful to one another.

We all have our strengths and we all have our opportunities. We are all different and that’s what makes the world a beautiful place. We get to learn from one another and expand our minds…Expand our knowledge.

Our differences…. Allow us to have new experiences.

And isn’t that what life is about…..

Experiencing the world around us.

Opening something new… and having that feeling of excitement. The feeling of discovery.

Well guess what my friend…. Someone else’s differences… gave you the gift of something new.

Please remember that l, as you go through your moments… your day….

If someone else can do something, then you can do it. It can be done….and sometimes, even surpassed. You can do whatever it is you put your mind 🧠 to. Whatever it is your heart ❤️ is set on... You can do it. I’m not saying it will be easy… and often it isn’t, but whatever it is deep down inside of you that you want…. I mean truly want, at a subconscious level, you can do it. You are in control of you. That road, that path can be difficult and often is, but think of it this way…. Life is difficult….Life is not easy. It’s about choosing your “difficult”… focusing your energy on the things that you want in life… and working towards them. Think of it as… your thoughts being your navigational beacon. Where ever you focus your thoughts… is where you focus your energy. Ask yourself: Are my thoughts focused on my past failures? Are my thoughts focused on all the things I’ve failed at? Am I telling myself that I can’t do it? If that is the case… I want you to think about things a little differently. When you think about past failures, ask yourself: What could I have done differently to get a better outcome? What could I have done differently, that would have made things different for me? How can I take this similar situation… that’s happening right now, in the moment and chose to make different choices that moves the situation in the direction I want? And remember… I’m not perfect, you are not perfect, WE, are not perfect. We are all human beings. We do things, we fall down, we learn, we get up, we adapt, we move forward. We are in constant motion. The reality is that time is in constant motion and we move with time from one moment to the next…. So, chose to navigate your moment with time. Chose to be present with what is going on in your world and directing your moments towards the outcomes that you want. When you have these thoughts pop up in your mind… and that voice inside is speaking to you. Have the courage to act on that voice. We often will reflect back, saying to ourselves…. “ I should have listened to myself”. “I should have spoken up.” And if you didn’t act on it… Don’t beat yourself up… Because the beauty in life is that you always have a new opportunity. A new moment… a fresh start. It just takes the courage to take that first step. But once you take it, the second step is a little easier… and the step after that is even easier… because you’ve already broken through that wall that was up. You see, we create those walls. No one else creates them. Something in our past, happened in our life and caused us to retreat, build a wall for protection and safety, so that thing doesn’t happen again. Then we allow that wall to keep us there, in that moment. It keeps us from being able to move forward…Making ourselves comfortable being within that wall. We have accepted that that’s who we are and that is we’re we will be. But always remember that you are in control of you. If you want to put a door in that wall so you can pass through to the other side… and go for a walk or take a trip or find a new place to settle down… either way…. You can do that. You are in control of your thoughts, your mind, your body, your heart. It is a beautiful thing when we can finally give ourselves permission to move towards the things we want in life. And remember, it won’t be easy. It can be hard. But life isn’t easy. Life is hard. This is about choosing your “hard” … choosing your life. Doing the things that bring you meaning. Doing the things that fill your heart. Doing the things that… at the end of the day when you lay down to go to sleep… you smile…. Because you took one step towards the things that bring you happiness and joy. You are in control of you. Thank you for Tuning in to this episode. Thank you for pressing the play button.

Is your Mind Full of the past or future? Is it full of things that have already happened ….or the things that have yet to come? Or…are you being mindful in the present moment? I think both are necessary… but the key is to know when you should think about the past or the future…AND when you should be Present. It’s important to learn from the Past and the be strategic about the Future… but everything happens in the Present moment. Understanding that… and how it impacts you, those around you… like your partner, your family, your team, your community…. is so important. A big part of that is the Communication process. Understanding how to communicate opens up efficiencies and allows us to move forward in a more productive and beneficial way.

When’s the last time you checked in with yourself? How are things going? How are you doing? Life is “busy” as you know. It’s important that you take time…. Or make time…. To interject moments into your life that align with your goals. Recognize the Wins… acknowledge the positive moments in your life. Don’t allow all the “business” to navigate your moments. Create moments that help you move towards the life you want to live. Create small moments that move you in a positive direction. Simple moments… small moments. And when you do those things consistently, you will start to feel better and be better. You will start to make positive impact on your mental and physical well being. Align your Heart, Mind and Body. I hope you find value in this episode. Please let me know if I have made an impact in your life…in your moment. I would truly appreciate hearing from you.

Michelangelo said “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” As an Artist myself, I can tell you that being a sculptor is like being a Leader. Leadership is helping your team members uncover the things they are good at and highlighting those skills, allowing them to shine and thrive. And there’s work involved. Being a Leader isn’t easy. Sometimes it’s removing a lot of unwanted material…and sometimes it’s light sanding or even just a little bit of polish. That goes for Self-Leadership, as well. ;-) so….Press the play button… Press the SUBSCRIBE button… and learn to Own Your Space.

That’s right, you harness Energy…. and you may not even realize it, but you do. I’ve talked about it in previous episodes, but we are made of energy. It’s continuous. It flows from us. Whatever you are feeling or going through, you project out into the world. Understanding that… think about what you want to project into the world around you. Think about how your Energy is affecting you and those that are close to you. Think about those people in your inner circle. Whether it’s your spouse, your significant other, your children, your co-workers, your team….. but most importantly… YOU. How is your energy affecting you? Where do you find yourself thoughts? Is it love? Is it hate? Is it nervousness or anxiety? The answer is, All of the above. The key is understand what’s going on inside, being self-aware. If it’s negative energy, then it’s up to you, to flip the switch. Recognize what’s happening and harness it. You are 100% in control of you. You control your energy. For the most part, I believe we all want to project kindness…. Because we all want kindness. Sometimes ….or most of the time… we just aren’t paying attention to what’s going on within us… and we let that (whatever it is) navigate us. We have to check in with ourselves and ask: Where does your heart lie? What is it that you would like to give? Sometimes it more difficult to do the work for yourself and it’s easier to do it for your loved ones. So use that. Imagine projecting or transferring the energy you want. If you’re giving (or transferring) that energy, then you are harnessing it. Which means it is now within you.. and if it is in. Allow it to be. Allow it to resonate inside of you and become you. Feel it. Accept it. Because, guess what…. It is you. Now harness it… and transfer it throughout your day. Direct it, wherever you want it to go. THAT…. Is Self-Leadership. And the more it happens, the easier it becomes and before you know it…it’s who you are. It’s easy…. And it not easy. I now that can sound confusing, but it’s the truth. The idea of it is easy. The concept is easy. To open your mind and your heart and allow the energy between the two, to flow…. To flow within you and be projected from you… out into your inner circle of friends and loved ones. The “it’s not easy” part… is that it takes practice. It takes healing. It takes forgiveness. And when I say that, I’m talking about you. You have to allow yourself to heal… from whatever is inside of you. You have to forgive yourself and allow yourself to move forward in a loving way. It’s called change. Because that’s life. That’s the beauty. That’s the gift. This is your journey. It’s time to harness your energy and transfer it. It’s time to transfer the energy you harness…. By getting rid of the energy you don’t want, the unhealthy energy…. And let it go. And allow the new (renewable) energy inside of you to be the energy you want to give.
