SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

Today's S.O.L. Story leads to what I call, "The Art of The Ask."

The ability to ask in order to uncover and discover something.

It starts within YOURSELF, so you can also do it with others.

In order to love you (and others), you must know you.

In order to know you (and others), you must ask yourself empowering, discovery-type questions.

When was the last time you did this for yourself?

If you don't truly know you, it'll be very difficult to know others.

If you don't love you, it's impossible to truly love others.

Dating starts with YOU...within YOU.

It leads to loving you, and others.

The necessity of this type of DATING doesn't stop when you get into a relationship with another, or when get married.

Dating yourself well is a lifelong love affair that allows YOU to become the great lover of your life...and those in it!

For this, mastering "The Art Of The Ask" is essential.

What do YOU think about that? I'd love to hear from you...

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

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

Ask yourself these 3 questions:

1. Who are you?

2. Why are you so lovable?

3. What can I do for YOU today?

So, now what? Today I'll show you...

The "unexpected" allows us to go so much deeper than what we thought we would, should, or could…to discover what's really there.

The NEXT…

It allows us to find out and discover what's there in our NOW, to create the NEXT.

So…Now What?

Sometimes this can be the scariest question after something unexpected happens, or something new is about to begin.

So instead, I encourage you to look at NOW and NEXT.

That's right...

NOW. AND. NEXT.

You're at the crossroad, and you must make a decision to go right or left.

Are you going right or left?

Are you going the way that's right for you?

OR…

Are you going to "left" — to leave it — to leave yourself? To leave it all?

Start with…Now. Why?

If you're not HERE. NOW. then you're going to be NOWHERE.

Then, WHAT NOW?

Not, now what?

BUT...

What Now?

Then…

Now. When?

There's no greater WHEN then NOW.

There's no greater WAY to go to NEXT then from (and through) NOW.

NOW. NEXT.

How?

Now. And. Now.

NOW + NOW is kind of like 1 + 1. It doesn't equal 2…it equals 11.

Now + Now is exponential!!

The NOW NEXT MOVEMENT is catapulted and fueled by NOW. AND. NOW.

What are you willing to do NOW and NOW to move to NOW…NEXT?

Only YOU can answer that for yourself.

You can move from feeling like you're drowning…to sipping.

Feeling like it's overcoming you...to overcoming.

By BECOMING in the process of NOW AND NOW.

Moving from NOW to NEXT.

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

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

Write down what you see right here in the NOW. What does your NOW look like?

Then write down the word: NEXT.

What would your next step look like in the NOW?

Write it down and commit to taking it today.

Not only commit to doing it, but simply do it.

TAKE THAT STEP TODAY.

Thank you for being here, and allowing me to Sip On Life with you.

With everyone competing for your attention, where do you fit in? Where does your higher purpose fit? Who's fighting for IT? Today I show you how...

First, you must stop repressing yourself.

Repression leads to depression and regression!

Second, you must discover your CAUSE...your BIG why. Then fight for it.

This is why you must fight for yourself.

You are carrying something bigger than yourself, my dear!

Last, but not least, fully commit to your cause and live your life on purpose.

How's that sound?

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

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

Begin to write out why you do what you do, or why you'd like to do what you do.

Begin to uncover and discover your true purpose, why, cause…

What's the cause that you're going to commit your heart and soul to today?

It matters because you matter.

And you matter because it matters.

Your heart matters. It's a matter of your heart and soul.

Are willing to start sipping on it and living on purpose?

Some of the greatest lessons I've learned have come from being in front of a speed bag...attempting to slow down my mind and TRUST.

OR...

In a ring, throwing punches.

OR...

After life knocked me down, and I had to make a decision.

Would I stay down, or would I stand and fight FOR myself?...

Instead of against myself or anyone else.

I'm so grateful I chose (choose) to stand.

How about you?

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

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

Write down where you've been fighting against yourself.

Where are you saying you desire one thing, but you're doing the exact opposite?

Where are you saying that you DON'T WANT "THIS," but you keep accepting it anyway?

Where have you been FORCING it?

Today's YOUR day to find YOUR RHYTHM...and fight FOR YOU.

Today you're going to learn how to begin the process of LOVING YOU. Consciously. Compassionately. Consistently.

Are you ready to get an A+ in LOVE?

LOVE. Loving yourself. It seems like it would be so natural, right?

It was at one time, but like many natural, healthy things…life has a way of teaching us the opposite.

These 6 Keys will help open up the door of your heart, and release the chemistry of your INNATE SELF LOVE.

Think of it as showing love THROUGH yourself.

Will it be pure?

Unapologetic?

Unashamed?

Naked?

Unafraid?

Unconditional?

Here's how it can be...

Key #1- Acknowledge YOU and the love you desire.

Key #2 - Ask YOU for the love you desire.

Key #3 - Give love to yourself.

Key #4 - Act on it. Act with it. Take massive loving action.

Key #5 - Accept love from yourself.

Allow yourself to receive it (receive YOU), my dear!

Key #6 - Abundance. Receive abundantly and act abundantly in love with it.

WHAT CHANGE DO YOU DESIRE?

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

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

Take an inventory of where you're accepting or pursuing anything that's not what you desire.

Write down anything that you're accepting in your life…but it's NOT what you desire.

Write down anything that you're pursuing in your life (possibly unconsciously) that's NOT what you desire.

Commit today to LET IT GO, and commit to passionately pursuing what you DO DESIRE.

Passionately pursue YOU.

Love yourself for a change…

And create what happens!

I can't wait to hear about what happens next.

What's the difference between counseling and coaching? This was the question I was asked. This is my answer...

Counseling focuses on FIXING.

Coaching focuses on FINDING.

Counseling focuses on the PAST.

Coaching focuses on the PRESENT, while creating the future you desire to love and live.

At least, this is what I do with my clients in Healing Life Coaching.

You may FEEL broken, but you're NOT.

You (and your life) may not be working, but you can.

My desire for you is to feel (and be) fully functional, aware, and thriving.

NOT just ONE step up from BROKEN.

HOW?

1. Find yourself. Stop trying to fix yourself.

2. Inspire yourself.

It's time to begin Inspiring yourself in the healing process,

Inspiring yourself in the process of loving your life and life's work well.

3. Expose the TRUTH. Period.

Stop waiting for your life to change to love it.

Love your life to change.

Stop waiting for YOU to change to LOVE YOURSELF.

Love you to change.

Love your life to healing.

LOVE YOURSELF FOR A CHANGE! (More about this in tomorrow's podcast...)

Stop trying to be improve yourself, be better, or be best...

FIND AND EXPRESS YOURSELF.

In order to Be Excellent Starting Today you must Be Expressed Starting Today.

Expressing who you are.

In order for you to do this, you must know.

And…

In order to know, you must EXPRESS.

Got it?

It starts right here. Right now...

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

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

Write yourself a letter today. Tell yourself why you're NOT broken.

Write out how you feel, then remind yourself: I AM NOT BROKEN.

Even if you've felt (or feel) broken.

Acknowledge how you feel, but don't take it on as your truth.

If you've ever felt a little selfish for putting you first, then listen to this…

We care for that which we value.

So the first thing you must do is take a look at YOUR VALUE, and how much YOU VALUE YOURSELF.

How much do you value YOU and your life?

Are you willing to carry the VALUE OF YOU WELL?

Are you ready?

It starts with S.E.L.F.

S- Stay in your OWN lane. Mind your own business.

Stay in your own lane, but don't STAND STILL.

Keep moving. Life is motion. Motion is life.

E- Evaluate yourself FIRST.

L- Love yourself like you show love to others.

Love God. Love Yourself. Love Others.

In that order.

This is the secret to your success.

Remember the "Diamond Rule."

Others will treat you as you treat you.

How are you doing with this?

It's time to check yourself.

F- Forgive yourself and others. For NOT caring for you as you desire...and deserve.

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 THIS:

Write down 3 things you could start doing today to show yourself how much you love and care for YOU.

This way doesn't include better, best, fixing, or improving. It only involves you…

Seeing for yourself, and asking with a heart of:

WONDER.

Seeing YOURSELF.

Hmm? What would it look like if…?

What would it feel like IF…?

Whom would I need to become?

From a place of TRUTH.

Showing up with a spirit of:

APPRECIATION.

For what is, while acknowledging what can be.

Not quitting. Continuing to show up for YOU, those (and that which) you LOVE.

With a thankful soul.

This is POWERFUL.

And this will make it even more powerful, and make you UNSTOPPABLE…

Saying:

YES.

No longer saying NO to you.

Saying YES.

Yes to what you desire.

Yes to what you love.

Yes to what you like.

How?

TRUST.

That's right, trust is required for you to say YES to yourself.

Trusting that all is well, and all will continue to be.

Trusting that you are well.

Your wellness and WELLTH will begin to increase from the inside, out.

Your abundance, prosperity, wealth…VALUE will begin to increase and expand.

Your VALUE increases as you say YES to YOU.

Self-care, dating and loving yourself well are NOT selfish.

They're some of the most giving, kind, and generous things you can do for yourself, AND OTHERS.

When you are well, all is well.

What would that look and feel like for you?

Saying yes to you.

Trusting your YES!

Trusting God, the process, yourself, your life…

TRUSTING YOUR YES.

It's either ALL YES OR ALL NO.

Stop with the half yes, half no.

That's like putting one foot on the gas, and one on the brake.

It's no wonder you feel as though you're bringing your engine out!

Stop.

Start saying YES to yourself from a place of TRUTH, THANKSGIVING, AND TRUST.

You'll see a new W.A.Y., and begin living a new day.

How do you feel right now?

Start saying YES and you'll be amazed at what you can do and become.

Start saying YES, and you'll see that you've been there all along.

You're not lost. You're simply in the early phases of discovery…and discovering your YES.

This is your new way...

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 THIS:

Acknowledge how you currently feel where you are…right here and now.

Journal about it.

Explore this new W.A.Y.

WONDER.

APPRECIATE.

Write yourself and your day a thank you note. Celebrate you, my dear!

Write down exactly what you're committed to saying YES to…with YOU being at the top of your life.

Please let me know what you come up with. I'd love to hear about it.

My intention today is that you'll be able to answer this question for yourself, and get the answer(s) you need.

I know how it feels. You're NOT alone!

The SOLUTION is short.

This is it. 4 simply powerful words — steps.

Stop.

Giving.

Yourself.

Away.

That's it.

What will this look like in your life?

Stop. Don't do it. Anymore. Do something different. If it's not working. Stop.

Giving. Give and receive. If you're not receiving, then you're taking. Or you're allowing others to take from you with your consent. Either way, you're taking from yourself.

Yourself. Not anyone else, but YOU. At the end of the day YOU are responsible for YOU, and until you learn to be you, trying to be all things to all people will only serve as a distraction, disguise, or decoy to help you avoid feeling. Being. Healing. Receiving. YOU.

Away. Instead of away…simply come. Come IN. Find A WAY. Your way. To come into who and where you truly desire to be.

To come into who you really are. The truest, fullest expression, and essence of who you are.

In order to do that, you must:

Start.

Receiving.

YOU + Others.

Today.

That's it.

That's how to start...

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 THIS:

Are you feeling fatigued, overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, depressed…?

Write this in your journal: I will no longer give myself away!

Circle it.

Commit to YOU today, my dear!

I'd love to hear about it.
