SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

It's time to count the cost, so you can create the value.

Kim McMillen shared, "When I loved myself enough I was able to be treated to a $50 haircut and enjoy every minute of it."

The cost of you not loving yourself has nothing to do with a $50 or a $500 haircut, but it has everything to do with you, your life, and life's work — and enjoying every minute of it.

The pain of you NOT loving yourself could be costing you your life!

Your pain is NOT your gain, unless it leads you to the cause.

What is the cost of you NOT loving yourself?

This is the C.O.S.T.

Certainty.

Without certainty, you don't get clarity.

With clarity comes confidence, because confidence is created.

If you lack certainty, you are left with confusion and chaos.

Has your "don't know" taken over your "do know?" So much so that you're doing nothing?

Options.

You have choices. You SEE your choices.

One of the greatest powers we have available to us is our ability to choose.

This is why we have freewill.

Freewill is life.

How free does your will feel right now?

Soul.

This is your mind, will, and emotions.

What is the cost of losing your mind?

The cost of losing your will?

The cost of emotional bankruptcy?

I'll tell you...

You will lose love.

You will lose people.

You will lose relationships — Yes, with break-ups, divorce, and/or broken relationships that will make YOU feel broken.

You will lose trust.

You will lose boundaries.

You will lose space.

You will lose power.

You will lose perspective.

You will lose protection.

You will lose security.

You will lose confidence.

You will lose hope.

You will lose belief.

You will lose desire.

You will lose capacity.

You will lose the feeling of significance.

You will lose respect.

You will lose money.

You will lose joy.

You will lose peace.

You will lose your ease.

You will lose health.

You will lose freedom.

You will lose opportunities.

You will lose momentum.

You will lose self. That's right. Self.

Self control.

Self respect.

You will lose possibilities.

You will lose connection and connections.

You will lose direction.

You will lose ability.

You will lose promotion.

You will lose future you look forward to.

You will lose a past you love to remember.

You will lose your present presence.

You will lose your sense of purpose.

You will lose your sense of self.

You will lose touch of who you think you are, or could become.

You will lose dreams.

You will lose desire. (Once again.)

You will lose your inspiration (this leads to expiration.)

You will lose...your life.

It's time to count the cost, my dear.

How much more of YOU are willing to risk simply because you're not willing to give yourself the ONE thing that you have to give you right here, and right now?

That one thing is...

Time.

This is your life?

What's your life worth?

What's your day worth?

What's a day in YOUR LIFE worth?

What are you trading for your life?

Whatever you're doing MUST be worthy of your life...

Please don't trade another day of your valuable LIFE TIME without loving yourself well.

The dis-ease comes and goes, like a chronic ailment, but it IS possible to discover the EASE that you're seeking.

Kim McMillen reminds us, "When I loved myself enough I could be at ease with the comings and goings of judgment and despair."

Embrace yourself. Accept yourself. See yourself. Encourage yourself.

What is it? What would you and your life look like without all the other junk that's not working well in your life?

Kim McMillen said, "When I loved myself enough I started eating organically grown food (except for those occasional fruit pies of course.)"

It's time to begin growing some REAL.

Real S.O.L. food.

A real YOU. A healthy, WELLTHY you.

It's starts with identifying what's R.E.A.L. in your life.

WHAT'S R.E.A.L.?

Reality.

Identify it.

Exposing.

What's real, what's not? Facts? Fiction?

Awareness.

What do you really desire?

Love.

What does your heart have to say about your matter? This is the TRUE HEART OF YOUR MATTER.

As with any emotion or feeling, there are lessons in the madness...

Kim McMillen reminds us, "When I loved myself enough I came to see how my anger teaches about responsibility and my arrogance teaches about humility, so I listen to both carefully."

Kim McMillen said, "When I loved myself enough I stopped seeking "experts" and started living my life.

There's no greater teacher than the voice within you.

Are you listening to the #1 teacher within?

This expert gives us wisdom and insight about life, and how we're experiencing our living in it.

It gives us LIFE to learn, and to earn with what we're learning.

Lessons to teach us about life, and life to teach us lessons.

There's no greater teacher and lesson than LIFE.

L.I.F.E.…

Leading.

Lead your life.

Inspiring.

Live an inspired life. Inspire life.

Feeling.

Where there's feeling, there's healing.

Engaging.

Fully engaging with your life. LIVING IT FULLY.

Are you creating with it? Or are you reacting to it?

Education enlightens exposure.

But it's life that has a way of exposing us to itself, as well as to ourselves.

Not only to things, but TO things.

Experience brings expertise.

As long as we don't EX ourselves out.

Please don't EX yourself out.

Take yourself out, don't EX yourself out.

Date yourself well, and find out what your inner expertise is telling you. Listen to what your inner wisdom, your inner teacher is sharing with you.

Remember we talked yesterday about your LOVE LANGUAGE? Have you discovered your personal love language? What is it? Find out HERE. Now.

It's time to give yourself LOVE in the same way...and listen, learn, and live your life.

Kim McMillen learned, "When I loved myself enough I began pouring my feelings into my journals. These loving companions speak my language. No translation needed."

It what you hear, speak, speaks to you. It's the voice you listen to.

Are you listening?

It's not the listening you do with your head. But it's the listening you do with your heart. The eyes of your soul.

Your S.O.L. Language...

Sees Opens Loves

See it.

It sees when you show up as you be…to see. And to speak up.

Can you express what you're seeing?

Are you allowing yourself to be seen?

Can you see what your heart sees, hears, feels, and knows?

Write it.

It opens you up when YOU open up.

Open Up. Pour yourself onto the pages of your S.O.L.DATE JOURNAL.

It loves.

It loves because it listens, and allows you to listen and hear.

What do you hear?

What is your Love Language?

Give that to YOU, and you will begin to see in a way that allows you to be seen and heard.

Your S.O.L. language...the only thing missing is U.

What do U see?

What are U saying?

Kim McMillen said, "When I loved myself enough I lost my fear of speaking the truth for I have come to see how good it is."

The #1 way to win with fear is to speak truth to it.

That's right.

That's it.

The greatest truth is LOVE.

So in essence what I'm saying is, Make Love With Fear. Your offspring will be sacred courage and brave fearlessness. Even when you feel afraid.

How do you do this?

S.P.E.A.K. IT.

S.P.E.A.K. TRUTH...

Say it. Play it. Eat it. Act it. Know it.

And as Nike would say, "Just Do It."

Kim McMillen reminds us, "When I loved myself enough I quit trying to be a savior for others."

Perhaps the one in need of saving is YOU...

Here's what you must do.

STOP trying to be everyone else's savior, or looking for everyone else to save you.

AND...

Stand Up.

With yourself.

Otherwise you could be drowning in 2 feet of water.

Kim McMillen said, "When I loved myself enough I began buying a hostess fruit pie for the teenager in me who loves them so. Once in a while. Cherry."

What power did your inner teenager hold in her heart and hands?

She held…

1. Imagination.

2. Innovation.

3. Rebellion.

4. Revelation.

If you go to her today, you'll remember who you truly are.

Then BE THAT...at least once in a while. :)

The next time you hurt, ask yourself these 3 questions and unlock healing you never knew you needed.

Kim McMillen said, "When I loved myself enough I let the part of me that missed Kent feel sad instead of trying to stop her from loving him."

In pain, ask yourself this...

1. Is this coming from love?

Celebrate it.

2. Is this coming from fear?

Fear of losing pleasure or experiencing discomfort?

Commit to creating versus losing.

3. Is this BIG enough to me that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to turn it into the pleasure I seek?

That's the BIG question that matters most. Because you can feel the pain of lost love, fear of losing it, or you can make pain your gain by going ALL IN to what matters most to you.

Pain isn't your problem. Running from it is.

Do not allow your pain to be in vain. Allow your pain to be your greatest gain.

(This is the continuation of our Enough Is Enough Series — based on the profound little book, When I Loved Myself Enough by Kim McMillen and Alison McMillen-Givnish. You can order a copy HERE.)
