SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

Your actions are the results of your thoughts and beliefs. They're valuable assets that fuel your desires — or destroy them.

Are your assets becoming your liabilities?

Is your value becoming your wasted time?

As you've heard me say many times, "Time isn't money…it's your life."

Once you stop seeing time as money, and value it so much higher, you'll continue to investing it in things with very little, no, or a negative ROI.

You can lose money and gain money, AND you can make it.

But you cannot create it.

You can live time. Period.

You can't make it. You can't create it.

But YOU can make time for those things you value. And with it you can create a valuable experience in your life.

Once time is gone, it's gone.

Once life is gone, it's gone.

However, what you choose to do with it when you have it has the power to create something that'll live way beyond your time.

This is what I'm talking about when I talk about "Owning Your Day."

Today. To date. Is the only time you have.

Own your day...by owning your time.

How?

1. DESIRE.

Love is desirable.

If you desire to create a life you love, you must create a date with your desire.

When you own your desires, you own the time it takes to live in them — while creating them.

Do what you desire. Every. Day.

And if not for the whole day. At least put your whole heart and soul into it, while creating what you desire.

2. DECLARE.

Own your words. Every. Word. Every. Day.

What you say matters. Your words come from the abundance of your heart.

Stop wasting your words creating what you DON'T DESIRE.

Make an abundant declaration today, and do what you declare. Today.

3. DECIDE.

When you become the decision-maker, you become the owner.

Make every decision from a place of your desire and declaration.

When you own it, you no longer borrow it, or proclaim that you don't have enough of it.

You have it NOW.

That's all you OWN.

YOU and your OWN. NOW.

Your day is your time.

Your time is your day.

This is your life.

OWN IT.

4. DO.

This is your SACRED S.O.L. STEP for today. Every. Single. Day.

This is your DATE CALLED "TODAY."

Today we're going to talk about how to own your WHO…and demystify the "Woo Woo" reputation of true SELF CARE.

I say it all the time…the unseen is more real than the seen. In fact, the unseen is what creates the seen.

What you see on the outside is a reflection of what you SEE and BE on the inside.

If you don't like what you see, then it's time to see things differently and what you see will be different.

You are…

S: Sacred. Scared or Sacred?

E: Energy. High or Low?

L: Love. Conditional or Unconditional?

F: Fit. Grown or outgrown?

Self care doesn't create self love. It comes out of self love. YOU create self care because YOU CARE. This is HOW...

You OWN your self love.

You'll care for the things you really care about.

You'll love the things you really love.

"Eating well and exercise aren't a guarantee of great health. They're merely the expression of the great health that's within you."

1. Own your self care from the INSIDE OUT.

Stop "trying" to care for yourself from the outside in.

Allow the CARE for you to care for YOU.

Allow your SELF CARE to be the full expression of the CARE within your SELF.

Are you expressing the incredible love and care that are on the inside of you?

2. Own your WHO, then from your "WHO"…DO.

Experience your life.

Date your day.

3. Own your NO by saying YES TO YOUR YES.

Master the art of saying NO, which will allow you to own life…time.

When you say YES TO YOUR YES, it'll allow you to own your YES.

AND SAY YES TO LOVE.

Why are you allowing another person to "make you" versus you creating you and the desires of your heart...you creating "YOUR HAPPY?"

First, go back and listen to yesterday's episode, "Own YOUR Happiness!"

Second, Own YOUR consequences and only yours.

That's right!

And this may mean that you have to STOP owing everyone else's.

If you have someone in your life who continues to act in such a way that you're spending a lot of your time trying to clean up their messes or your life is in chaos because of them…

Then it's time to take a look at WHY you're choosing it.

You may think that you're not choosing it, but at the end of the day, you're committed to it at some level.

And you may say, no…but I'm committed to him or her, and our relationship.

However, is this really a relationship, or is it YOU trying to change someone else so YOU can be happy.

Is it a "relationship" or a "reaction?"

If someone needs to change for YOU to be happy, then it's time for you to change.

Here's how...

#1: Change your perspective.

Become the leader in your own life. Own your own happiness and consequences to the choices you're making.

#2: Change what you're choosing (and creating.)

Happy or unhappy?

If you feel as though you must be unhappy to be in this relationship, then you must ask yourself if this is what you choose.

You can choose happy, and if YOU no longer fit in the relationship because you ARE happy, then be willing to see it as it is.

Is it possible that you've chosen to be in a relationship with "UNHAPPY?"

And is it possible that you're choosing to blame it on someone else?

If you're unhappy, it's your responsibility to do something about it. Not someone else.

But you may say, but what if they don't change?

Yes, there will be consequences for this, but they're not YOUR consequences.

Make YOUR choices and OWN your consequences, no one else's.

When you do, you won't have time for that.

Perhaps you've been so distracted by someone else's unhappy consequences that you're now taking them on as your own, and it's keeping you from OWING YOUR OWN CONSEQUENCES.

For example, the consequence (or result) of the decisions that YOU'RE making.

Not the consequences that someone else is creating.

That's not only called enabling, but it's called YOUR CHOICE to give someone else your ability to choose another way.

If something in your life's not working, then make a choice to do something different. Even if it means doing something that's unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

At the end of the day, YOU have the power to choose your attitude, your gratitude, and your actions.

You have the power to choose to CHOOSE.

Remember that not choosing is also a choice.

OWN YOUR CHOICES AND OWN YOUR OWN CONSEQUENCES.

Be true to yourself, and you'll become your true self.

This is the consequence (result) of living in truth.

There's no other alternative, unless you're choosing someone else's consequence(s).

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

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

Where are you paying the price of your own happiness for someone else's debt of consequences?

STOP. Start owning your power to create your own consequences (results.)

When you take responsibility for your own happiness, and don't expect anyone else to do it for you, you can own your happiness.

Once. And. For. All.

AND…for life.

For yourself.

We chase the illusion, or promise, of happiness, while running from the very thing that creates it.

YOU, my dear, create it. Period.

Once you create it, then you must choose to OWN IT by BEING IT.

How?

Stop borrowing it, renting it, paying for it, chasing it or running from it.

OR...trying to be it for someone else.

O.W.N. YOUR HAPPINESS.

1. Occupy it. And allow it to fully occupy you.

You create what you desire, by taking responsibility and caring for it.

AND BEING IT FOR YOURSELF.

2. Why? Yes, ask yourself why…

If you're happy, ask yourself "WHY?"

If you're not happy, ask yourself "WHY?"

Not who or what?

3. Never expect someone else to make you happy.

However, if you choose to be in a situation, or with someone who is constantly making you unhappy then repeat Step #1 and #2…O.W.

O.W... (You know how much I love a great acronym.)

Yes, it may feel uncomfortable, but it'll be worth it once you discover the truth and create the "happy" that 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:

What makes you feel happy? Create it.

How do you show happiness? Choose it.

When you take responsibility for your own happiness, you can own your own happiness.

After learning the hard (very hard) way that NOT loving myself led to a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering, I discovered that this is the EASIER (easiest) way to TRUE LOVE.

So here are "The Top 10 Reasons To Love Yourself."

However, first I must say that NONE OF THESE REASONS are going to include the following:

• When you love yourself, you'll be okay IF/WHEN someone leaves you.

True Self Love isn't about anyone else, for anyone else, or because of anyone else. It's about/for/because of YOU — your SELF.

Are you hearing me, my dear?

Self Love is NOT a self-protection strategy, it's a self-promotion one.

Yes, you'll promote yourself to a higher standard of loving and living.

Self Love is the TRUE definition of "Dating UP."

• When you love yourself, you'll never be alone again.

Instead, when you truly LOVE yourself, you'll realize the importance of being WITH yourself. Always. All ways.

You'll be WITH/FOR yourself, but NOT all by yourself.

• When you love yourself, you'll AVOID future pain.

True Self Love or not…pain is inevitable. Suffering, however, is optional.

It's a choice.

True Self Love chooses not to suffer, but chooses to LOVE – even when it hurts.

It also allows you to grow through pain versus simply going to it or through it.

• When you love yourself, you'll get "The Guy" or get "The Girl."

True Self Love allows you to finally GET YOU. I mean, really GET YOU. And when you do, you'll no longer feel the need to GET ANYTHING OR ANYONE TO BE WHOLE, HAPPY, OR TOGETHER.

True Self Love redefines TO.GET.HER.

The only guy or girl you're going "TO GET" here is the one that you see in the mirror.

You'll finally find yourself versus always (and in all ways) "trying to fix yourself."

• When you love yourself you'll be self-centered and selfish.

This is definitely NOT TRUE…unless you're a self-centered, selfish person that happens to also love herself/himself. Because IF this is the case, and you truly allow yourself to know you and fall in love with YOU, you'll no longer feel the need to be self-centered or selfish. Got it?

So, no worries about that, okay?

Focusing on these things is like telling a Genie or Fairy Godmother what you DON'T wish for.

Or like praying to God and constantly complaining.

Or like being a professional athlete and playing NOT to lose!

NO FUN, RIGHT?

My Top 10 List is going to focus on LIVING TO LOVE AND WIN. (Oh, and having a lot of FUN while doing it.)

That way YOU can become the Great Lover Of YOUR Life, love your life + life's work well, and make LOVE with your life for the rest of your life.

How's that sound?

So, are you ready?

Reason #10 To Love Yourself: It allows you to be "LIKE-ABLE."

"LIKE" is highly personal.

It allows you to get personal. With YOU.

Therefore your opinion of YOU matters more to you than anyone else's opinion of you.

Reason #9: It allows you to be "DATE-ABLE."

In order to love you, you must know you. In order to know you, you must spend time with you.

There's no greater date then the one you LIVE with yourself.

The DATE called, "TODAY."

It's YOUR LIFE.

Dating yourself keeps you present. Keeps you feeling. Keeps you healing. WELL.

Reason #8: It allows you to be "DREAM-ABLE."

There'll no longer be conditions on your dreams.

You dream. You imagine. You see yourself. Truly see YOURSELF, and you become the one you've always dreamed you'd BE with.

Imagine that...

Reason #7: It allows us to be "LOVE-ABLE."

We love others as we love ourselves.

This LOVE becomes the limitless (or limiting) factor in our capacity to give and receive IT.

Love isn't a feeling, it's a capacity.

However, it's not a quantity, but a quality.

The highest quality.

Reason #6: It allows you to be "COMMIT-ABLE."

You see your value, become a priority in your own life, and you follow-through with your commitments to YOU (and others — including YOUR LIFE.)

We care for that which we value. Self care doesn't create Self Love.

Self Love is the ultimate self care and the reason we care.

AND SHARE.

If we truly love ourselves, we'll care for ourselves.

We will care and share.

Reason #5: It allows you to be ENGAGED. Fully Engaged.

Love IS. Engaging.

Love is IN you.

It's magnetically attractive.

It's an exponential multiplier.

It creates.

Love IS you.

When you fully engage with it, you'll FIND YOURSELF. IN LOVE.

Reason #4: Perfect LOVE casts out fear.

The opposite of LOVE isn't hate, it's FEAR. When there's fear, we fight, flee, or freeze…and end up looking for LOVE in all the wrong places, and wearing inauthentic faces.

Reason #3: It allows us to be "MERRY'D."

This is where happiness comes from — when we take responsibility for creating our happiness, and choosing it.

We're able to bring the MERRY to our days. Every. Day.

You create your "happily ever after" until death do you part — and beyond.

Reason #2: Others will love us as we love ourselves.

I call this the "Diamond Rule."

When we fully engage with IT, we'll find LOVE and it will FIND US.

Reason #1: God is LOVE. We've been created in the image of LOVE.

When we love ourselves, we engage with the TRUTH and Divine nature of who we are.

When you engage the LOVE IN you, you'll be IN LOVE.

THE TOP REASON TO LOVE YOURSELF is because LOVE is the ONLY thing that matters and it's why YOU matter - heart and soul.

It's the most CREATIVE FORCE available, and with it YOU can create the desires of your heart.

When you go within, you'll no longer go without.

This is the TRUTH, and it's knowledge of the truth that sets us free.

Why Self Love? It's FREEDOM. And it's free if you choose IT.

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

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

Which reason(s) do YOU choose?

It's time to choose the LOVE LIFE you've always hoped for.

Write down all the reasons YOU love YOU.

The artist that painted the lovely picture that hangs in my podcast studio is a convicted felon. And this is what she had to say about it.

1. She told me she didn't do it.

But she did. However, she didn't intend to.

Lesson #1: Sometimes intention isn't enough…results are.

2. She let the past into her present and it changed her life…forever. Lesson #2: When you close the door on the past, keep it closed.

3. She went from being a successful, fun, free, Realestate Agent to being a convicted felon, serving 15 years in prison.

Lesson #3: One decision can change everything.

What decision are you willing to make today that will free you from the prison you're in, yet never intended to enter?

Do it today.

She's not only a reminder of YOU, but for YOU and ME on how to truly live freely and SIP ON LIFE — heart and soul.

Today's S.O.L. STORY comes from my dear daughter, Anni.

After you jump, this is what happens:

1. You liked it, but you won't/don't jump again.

2. You hated it, and you won't/don't jump again.

3. You jumped, and you'll definitely do it again — no matter what happened the first time.

Are you ready and willing to jump…even if you don't feel ready?

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 an area in your life where you haven't yet jumped (or jumped again?)

What do you say? Put on your big girl/boy pants and jump…

Yes, today's your day to put on your brave heart and JUMP…

Thank you for being here, and allowing me to sip on life with you.

It's that moment when you realize that you've forgotten something, or simply lost track of something.

I call it, "Misplacing something in my schedule."

And what really happened is that it DIDN'T GET PLACED ON THE SCHEDULE.

My first response was, "Oops! Wow, I can't believe that happened."

Then I felt kinda bad — l felt like I had been irresponsible.

I felt judged — by myself.

Have you ever dropped a metaphorical "ball" in your life? Of course you have.

We all have!

Then we judge ourselves…

Have you ever done this?

BUT…

This time I'm doing something different!

Right now I'm asking myself these 4 things in order to answer the question of "Now what?"

The next time this happens to you, try this…

1. Ask yourself why you were carrying it in the first place.

2. Ask yourself why you dropped it, but only for learning…not loathing on yourself.

3. Ask yourself if you'd like to pick it up again.

4. If the answer is yes, then pick it up. If the answer is no, then make the decision to lay It down and keep moving ahead.

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

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

Have you dropped "the ball" lately?

What "ball" have you dropped?

Take yourself through these 4 steps and see what happens for you…
