SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

You're fighting the wrong battle.

You're trying to WIN, versus winning.

You're trying to fix, instead of find.

It's time to find out a few things about you and what you're really fighting.

It comes down to 2 things.

Your attention and your action (or reaction.)

1. Your attention.

Where is it?

Not sure? Look at where you are. I mean, really look.

Give yourself the time and attention necessary today to really see where you are, and what attention got you there.

Where you are today is a result of the attention that you've put toward something (or not toward something) that got you to where you are today.

You can continue to fight against the critical voices from your head, or from those around you, or you can simply recognize them and keep moving.

Notice I said, recognize, I didn't say PRIORITIZE.

Simply give recognition and cognition to the voices, and views of what really matters to you.

Kim McMillen reminds us, "When I loved myself enough I stopped trying to banish the critical voices from my head. Now I say 'Thank you for your views' and they feel heard. End of discussion."

2. Your action.

Wherever you put your attention, that's where you go.

If you put your attention on what doesn't matter, you won't matter either. Your actions become reactions.

Instead of creations.

If you love where you are, create.

If you don't love where you are, create.

But stop reacting and creating more of what you don't love.

Stop fighting against what doesn't matter.

Start winning with what does.

Our reasons will make us quit or keep going. They are either the cause or the effect. Choose your reasons consciously, and create what matters to you.

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Where in your life are you still engaging with voices that don't line up with your truth.

Write a letter to them today, and release them to go on their merry way.

Be done with it.

Keep moving.

Refocus your attention and acton on what matters most to you.

Kim McMillen shared, "When I loved myself enough I quit trying to impress my brother."

Wow, this is great. Isn't it?

Whether it's your brother, mother, son, sister, or someone you don't even know…TRYING TO IMPRESS will eventually mess you up!

Let's talk about IMPRESS.

(This reminds me of the song I wrote for you, "Let's Not Talk About Ex." Remember that?)

So, let's talk about impress, baby.

Let's talk about you, not he…

Just kidding, but not really.

As dear Kim reminds us, when you really love yourself enough, you stop trying to impress your brother or any other. Period.

Instead, you're the truest impression of who you really are, and you agree with yourself.

Your opinion of you is the first opinion that matters.

Then, IF you choose to welcome in others' opinions, that's your business.

Otherwise, others' opinions of you are NONE (and I mean none) of your business.

It's none of your business.

Stop trying to be impressive.

Simply BE.

Free.

That's impressive.

HOW?

Impress starts with I'M for a reason.

Who are you?

Then PRESS the boundaries of who you think you are, and BE who really are and who you're becoming.

That's that.

Give yourself permission to try this one on for size. But not TRYING.

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Where in your life are you trying to impress anyone, including yourself?

Ask yourself WHY?

Then ask, WHO AM I?

Then write out what you think is authentically impressive about you. Genuine. Real. Then live into the fullest expression of her/him.

Thank you!!

It's not what you're eating, it's what's eating YOU!

It's time to stop WAITING for time. Especially the time that's eating you.

Kim McMillen said this, "When I loved myself enough I stopped fearing empty time and quit making plans, now I do what feels right and am in step with my own rhythms . Delicious!"

It starts with this.

Start stopping….

1. Start eating time. That's right, when you start eating time, it stops time in its tracks and you simply savor that moment like there's no tomorrow.

It can truly be delicious!

2. Stop Waiting for time to speed up or slow down.

YOU speed up or slow down.

Time goes so slowly when you're moving so quickly.

Time moves quickly when you're moving slowly.

So how about getting into the rhythm of your time, and begin having time. A great time. In time and on time.

It's not a STOP watch, it's a GO watch…

3. Stop eating up time. You can chew on it, but DO NOT eat it up.

If you're going to eat time up, then it's going to eat you up and spit you out like a sunflower seed on a hot summer day.

It's time to REDEFINE TIME.

T. Today. I'M E. Everywhere.

Everywhere every day, I'M in the middle of TIME.

Yes, you are!!

Here's what I have to say about time. And YES, it's about time!!

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Have you been feeling like you're running out of time?

Sit with it today and stop running OUT of it.

Instead, think of running INTO it with your eyes wide open, and stop waiting.

Journal about this and see what comes up for you.

Kim McMillen said it so well, "When I loved myself enough I realized I am never alone."

First, you must realize it.

Realizing it start with REAL for a reason.

It's time to get real about how you feel, then recognize the truth about those feelings.

YES, get REAL about how you feel so you can heal.

Then redefine them.

This is how I've redefined ALONE.

The next time you feel alone, remember that there's another way to see it. There's another way to be in it. There's another way to be in it — whether you're with someone or not.

BE. WITH. YOU.

So you can feel yourself.

So you can get real with yourself.

So you can heal yourself.

And you know how you can do that?

Redefine ALONE as…

ALLONE.

You're not a bunch of broken pieces and you don't need to be fixed.

You are ALLONE.

YOU GO ALL. ALL IN.

ALL IN TO THE ONE THAT IS YOU.

ALLONE.

Connecting with ALL SIDES of you.

Realizing and recognizing YOU.

Then redefining the parts of you that need your attention, heart, and meaning.

That's that.

That's it.

That's the NEW ALONE...ALLONE...

S.O.L. NOT SOLO.

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Where in your life do you feel like you're not totally WITH YOU, snd you feel alone?

Where is that?

GO ALL IN.

This is also the NEW GOALL.

Redefine ALONE for yourself today. And recommit to how you're standing with yourself.

Not all "Self Care" is the same or healthful.

Kim McMillen reminds us that "When I loved myself enough I started treating myself to a massage at least once a week."

Although massages are great for caring for yourself, so are manicures and pedicures, eating and exercise. However...

This is the subtle, yet SUBSTANTIAL difference…

It's not about "treating yourself TO…"

It's about "treating yourself WITH…"

It's about treating yourself WITH C.A.R.E.

Care. Attention. Respect. Excellence.

Aristotle reminds us that "Excellence is not an act, but a habit."

It's when you begin to make caring for yourself a daily habit. An act of love and care. Treating yourself with the highest attention, respect, and excellence, that my dear is the whole truth about SELF CARE.

This creates health. EASE. Not DIS-EASE.

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

What can you do today to treat yourself with CARE?

Do that. Today.

Kim McMillen said, "When I loved myself enough I recognized my courage and fear, my naiveté and wisdom, and I make a place for each at my table."

We'll start with a few of my Sacred S.O.L. STEPS…

#1: Show up.

Show up for yourself and your feelings.

Undress and address.

This means being willing to expose yourself. To uncover and discover what you're feeling.

HOW?

#2: Pay attention to what has heart and meaning.

What's coming from your heart?

What meaning or definition are you giving it?

Remember...

#3: If it can't be interpreted at least 2 different ways, it's probably not true.

HOW?

1. Interpretation.

Then...

2. Identification

3. Recognition

4. Definition

The extremes that you experience can feel overwhelming, but YOU are the common denominator…

The common denominator for courage and fear, is YOU.

The common denominator for naiveté and wisdom is YOU.

YOU are the one that they have in common.

And you're the one who can address and acknowledge each of them at your table.

The table of your heart.

THE TABLE OF TRUTH.

Realizing that opposition is simply a matter of position. Position them around your table and encourage heart to heart communion with one another.

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

What primary feeling have you been having today?

Invite that feeling, as well as its opposite, to come to the table of you heart.

Journal about this and see what happens.

Do you need to become the great laugher of your life?

Today's been a tough day. I was asked to recall many painful details regarding the car accident that killed both my parents. It wasn't easy.

Remembering painful events is painful. Period.

BUT...

It reminds me of how incredible laughter can be in times of loss, pain, and sorrow.

Laughter is incredible for every occasion. Perhaps that's why we can laugh so hard that we cry and cry so hard we laugh.

Life can be funny that way.

Dear Kim McMillen reminds us, "When I loved myself enough I could see how funny life is, how funny I am, and how funny you are."

So today I'm going to share with you a few of my great laughs.

Laughter really is good medicine. The only side effects may be side aches and laugh lines on your face. All worth it!

The next time you get laughing real hard, grab your phone and record it. You may need it at a later date. And if you feel like you'd like to share it, please email me a voice memo of you laughing and I'll laugh with you! ([email protected])

Yes, you don't have to laugh alone either. We cry together and we laugh together. That's what we do here at S.O.L.

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Take some time today to laugh. Enjoy. And share your joy with others. Life really is funny, and so are we.

Thanks for sharing!! xo

These are the next 3 steps...

However, if you never get alone, you'll always feel alone.

Kim McMillen shared, "When I loved myself enough I began to feed my hunger for solitude and revel in the inexplicable contentment that is its companion."

What are YOU feeding?

Your feelings about being alone?

Your findings from your being alone?

You can be alone without BEING alone.

The subtle difference is how you're BEING.

BREATHE.

Are you drowning or sipping on your life?

It's all about discovering a new way of breathing.

BECOME.

Come to the knowledge of the truth about YOU.

BELONG.

Are you a part of something bigger than yourself?

Who do you belong to?

However, even if you're going the wrong direction, at least you're going...

Kim McMillen said, "When I loved myself enough I saw beyond right and wrong and became neutral. At first I thought this was indifference. Now I see the clarity that comes from neutrality."

Get clear about these three things, and avoid a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering...

1. Attention.

IT'S got your attention, but you're going the wrong direction.

Yes, it's clear. You're clearly going the wrong way.

2. Judgment.

You're so busy trying to determine good or evil, that you're not eating on the Tree Of Life.

3. Working.

You may be doing, but it's not doing anything for you.

You may be working real hard, but your life's not working.

These 3 things are costing you not only a lot of time, but YOUR LIFE.

Kim McMillen discovered, "When I loved myself enough I learned to say no when I want to and yes when I want to."

The key here is "when I want to."

Define when?

Define want?

If not you, then who?

If not now, then when?

Remember, WANT will keep you WANTING.

SO…

What are your desires, my dear?

Know. Grow.

Or NO grow.

When you stop saying NO to you, you can say YES to your KNOW and GROW.

(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.)

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Is there something or someone in your life right now that you're having a hard time saying NO to?

How will saying YES to this (he/she) be saying NO to you?

Yes/No?

Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.

This is your formula for growth.

If you've been feeling like you're stuck, overwhelmed, or perhaps you still feel like you're drowning in your life, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I'd be more than happy to schedule a Discovery Call with you to see if Healing Life Coaching is a good fit for you. Email me at [email protected]
