SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

How consistent are YOU at being YOU?

Is there something in your life that you'd like to change?

What would you like to BECOME today?

It's about being. It's about coming into being.

How we do this is by consistently being who we are, and becoming who we desire to become.

The key word here is "CONSISTENTLY."

How consistent are you with anything in your life?

We've talked about this in previous podcasts…EPISODE 144: Try On A New Belief, EPISODE 021: How To Make Healthy Your Habit

If you ever catch yourself saying, "I know I should be, but…" then perhaps your SHOULD is getting in the way.

Whoever said so?

And most importantly, if you're doing this, HOW'S THAT WORKING FOR YOU?

How consistent are you with doing what you desire to do?

What are you waiting for?

If you desire to do it, then do it.

And if for some reason you believe you can't, then let's identify what's standing in your way. Besides, of course, your belief that says, "I can't."

Let's focus on creating SOLUTIONS.

What would you be willing to commit to doing every day starting now?

But first, do this:

Step One: Take an inventory of what you're consistently doing right now.

Look at it. Are you progressing?

Ask yourself, "Am I becoming what I desire to become by doing this?"

As well as, "Am I being who I really am by doing this?"

Step Two: Is it WORKING for you?

If not, then it's time for a new commitment…new action step…new declaration of consistency.

Be consistent with what you desire, because whatever you do consistently, you'll become.

What do you desire to become?

Please take time to ask yourself (and answer) these questions today.

Remember, your life is the answer to the questions you're asking.

What questions are you asking?

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

What do YOU desire to BECOME?

Oftentimes we get so caught up in the things that don't necessarily matter in our lives. We waste so much precious life TIME focusing on things that really don't serve us, or the greater good.

In a minute — a moment — life can change forever.

We all need moments of truth that allow us to get back to what matters most. It's here where we'll remember our true purpose, and what matters most.

Your LIFE matters.

Your HEALTH matters.

Your TIME matters.

LOVE MATTERS.

YOU MATTER.

Don't waste a moment on what doesn't matter or ISN'T working.

Whatever you're going through today, you must ask yourself the question, "How's this working for me?"

Then YOU can decide what you're going to do about it.

What matters MOST to you?

You're HERE right now. Make choices that are rooted and grounded in truth. In what matters most. Today.

Don't wait. It's time to get your life working!

If "it's" not working for you, change 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:

Answer this question for yourself.

How's "that" working for you?

Whatever "that" is…

Take a look at it.

Answer truthfully. From your heart.

Make some decisions today to stay focused on the truth and living (AND LOVING) your life, my dear.

It's an ongoing topic of discussion in my S.O.L. DATE SISTERHOOD, as well as with my coaching clients, and all the coaching I do.

It's the topic of worrying about what others think about YOU.

You're so concerned about what "THEY" are thinking about YOU…but is it possible that YOU'RE actually thinking that about YOURSELF (at some level?)

Yes, it's true!

OWN IT, my dear!

Stop trying to own everyone else's opinions about you.

Instead, OWN YOURS.

What would that look like for you?

What would your life look like for you to own your own opinion?

The 4 Levels of OPINION OWNERSHIP Are…

1. No ownership.

It's like you're homeless…and you feel helpless.

You don't own your opinion, nor do you own your responsibility.

There's no work. And I've got news for you…It doesn't work!

Everyone's opinion of YOU is important. Or so it seems.

2. Renting.

Think of it as leasing…or is it "pLEASING"…

People pleasing.

That's right, you're a genuine (although inauthentic) People Pleaser.

You try to please everyone, while not really pleasing anyone…especially yourself.

You also try to own everyone else's opinion of YOU.

You blame them for thinking about you in the way that they do, when honestly…YOU are the one who BELIEVES these things about you (at some level.)

OWN IT, MY DEAR!

3. Own/Occupy.

When you own your own business…and you're not in others' business.

You finally own the fact that others' opinions of you are none of your business, and you don't make it your business.

You can think of this as a new form of "entrepreneurialism."

4. Own/Landlord.

YOU'RE PAID FOR YOUR OPINION.

You own your opinion of YOU.

You don't blame others' opinions of you on them. You own your OWN opinions of YOU.

Others' opinions of you are not your business.

Your opinion of you is your business.

And now, others actually ask (or pay) for your opinion.

You can think of this as the ultimate form of ENTREPRENEURIALISM.

You care more about people, and what they care about, then caring about their opinion of YOU.

You help them to believe in themselves by sharing the TRUTH with them.

Imagine what this would look and feel like in your life…

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 right now in your life are you worrying about what others are thinking, or saying, about you?

How are YOU doing that to YOU?

Own it.

Make a commitment to YOU and owning your opinion of you.

Whatever opinion you have of yourself, ask:

"Is it true?"

If so, keep it.

If not, let it and YOU go…

Set yourself free today, my dear.

Is it surrender or giving up? Surrender or defeat? Surrender or quitting?

They may look the same from the outside, but are very different on the inside.

And they have completely different outcomes.

Surrender is letting go of what you're resisting. It's letting go of the struggle.

Have you ever found yourself saying, "Hey, I'm not perfect. I'm only human?"

OR…

You've sacrificed progress for the illusion of perfection?

First of all, what's perfect got to do with it, anyway?

Secondly, why are you using "perfect" as your desired destination, which becomes an excuse?

What does "perfect" mean to you?

Seriously, how do you define "perfect?"

In the traditional way that most people think of it, perfection is really an illusion.

Not only is it an illusion, but it's become a prison for a lot of people.

So how do you get out?

Start by redefining PERFECT.

To me, the true definition of perfect is: TRUTH.

Good, bad, ugly…if it's the TRUTH, it's PERFECT.

Why?

Because when you know the truth, it'll set you free.

The so-called illusion of perfection takes many prisoners.

Don't be fooled. Don't be one of them.

Not sure if you're using "perfect" as an excuse?

If you're in either of these two camps, then you're definitely using it as an excuse. (As most of us humans do at times.)

A: Oftentimes you say things like, "I'm human. I'm not perfect."

You're using it as a reason to NOT grow or learn. You're using it to give yourself an "excuse" to stay the same.

Quite simply, it's a cop out.

B: You don't do certain things because you fear that you won't do it perfectly.

You hold back. You hide. You sacrifice progress because of your idea of perfection. When you do this, you stay stuck where you are.

Is it possible that you're striving for something that you haven't even clearly identified?

Do you even know what "perfect" is?

Again, I'd ask you to take a look at how you define "PERFECT."

It's time to bust out of the DECEPTION + PRISON OF PERFECTION, and trade it for the FREEDOM OF TRUTH.

Stop blaming everything on perfect. Either NOT being perfect or trying to be perfect.

It's time to start the process of progress and prosperity.

Let go of the IDEA of PERFECTION.

Stop using perfect as an excuse.

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

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

1. How do YOU define PERFECT? Perhaps it's time to redefine it.

2. Are you holding back in any area of your life because you're trying to do IT perfectly or not learning, growing, or advancing because you're using "perfect" as an excuse to stay where you are?

Write that down, and make a commitment today to stop using PERFECT as an excuse.

How?

No different than doing C.P.R. on the human body.

When I learned how to do C.P.R. I was told to assess the A.B.C.s...

A: Airway B: Breath C: Circulation

It's time to assess your dream's A.B.C.s...and begin some C.P.R.

Where have your dreams gone unconcsious?

What's blocking you from your dreams?

What dream of yours feels as though it's died?

1. Remove the interference. Open the airway. Open up.

Are you able to receive the life you've been given?

Is the "airway" to your dreams blocked?

Becoming CONSCIOUS will help remove the interference, and open up life to your dreams.

2. Take in your inspiration.

BREATHE by remembering what inspires you.

Breathe in the breath of your life by fully acknowledging and receiving your PURPOSE.

3. Allow your heart to beat life into your dreams.

Are you giving your heart permission to lead you and circulate your purpose?

For every 15 inspirations, there must be at least two heart beats. (CORRECTION: It's 15 heart beats and 2 breaths...or perhaps 30:2...yes, it's time for a C.P.R. refresher course!)

It's the heart that pumps life into what inspires you.

Even though your dreams may look differently than you once thought they did, they can still be RECYCLED and RECOGNIZED.

Restore and resurrect your dreams today, my dear.

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

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

Are you willing to get CONSCIOUS, own your PURPOSE, and recognize your dreams — even if they've been recycled and look a little different than you first imagined?

Are you willing to receive them?

What do you know? It starts with, "What are you learning now?"

The first of many questions that we must ask ourselves.

No matter what you know today, there's still more to learn.

IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES…

So often we experience something new and we label it.

We create a story about it…and around it. But is it the truth?

Perhaps it's simply an opportunity to grow and learn something new.

What are you learning NOW?

What are you willing to be open to see?

To experience?

What GROWTH are you willing to experience?

So many things we define as hard, impossible, broken are NOT necessarily the TRUTH.

Is what you know…what you're learning serving you well?

Is it allowing you to live in freedom?

Knowledge of the truth sets us free.

As we prepare for the NEW, it's vital that we start looking for NEW ways to…

Grow. Expand. See. Be. Become.

What are you learning today?

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

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

Answer these questions.

What are you learning TODAY?

What are you willing to see and do today that's different?

First, are you believing something that ISN'T true?

We all have a S.O.L. STORY (although it may not be so sacred), of someone who's wronged us, told us a lie, wasn't honest or truthful.

Disappointing, right?

It can be devastating to a relationship.

But what if that relationship is between your own heart and soul?

Are you telling yourself, and believing, the truth?

I'm sold out on truth (popular or not) for the following reason...

It's the only thing that I've been able to stand on in the most devastating times, greatest loss, hardest, and most painful experiences.

Truth and the knowledge of it have allowed me to live, stand, grow, and heal in freedom.

I desire this for everyone I know and love, including you.

My desire is that you know the truth.

That you know what you believe, and why you believe it.

To be able to ask questions, expose the truth and the lies.

In all of my years as a Chiropractor, Healing Life Coach, and working with people, I've found that the ones who get the greatest breakthroughs are the ones that are willing to know the truth, and make decisions based on that truth.

If not, it's like standing on a slippery rock, and trying not to fall.

Even though truth isn't popular. It's the only thing that'll allow you to stand and live in freedom.

When you have truth you can put your trust in something that's solid.

In my SIX SACRED S.O.L. DATE SECRETS or AGREEMENTS, I've shared this TRUTH about truth…

If it can't be interpreted at least two different ways, it's probably not true.

How you see it matters.

However, no matter how you look at a mountain, it's still a mountain.

If your truth isn't allowing you to get what you desire, live the life you desire, and create the life you long for…then it's time to look at that "mountain" in a different way.

Do you see possibility?

Where there's truth, there's possibility.

It gives you the opportunity to start making decisions.

What are you going to choose? The truth or not?

A lie will always disempower you.

It's a one-way ticket to disaster.

Are you willing to start looking at all the beliefs you have in your life, and asking what's true for you?

Expand. Grow. Live. In freedom.

Find the TRUTH, and you'll become unstoppable.

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

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

Be honest.

Is there any area of your life that you feel as though you're not empowered? Is there a story in your mind and heart that says you're a victim, you can't, or "POOR ME"?

Expose it. Write it down.

Write down the truth about what you feel.

Then ask yourself if it's true, and if there's another way to see it.

Even though truth isn't popular, it IS the true path to freedom

Because confidence is not only overrated, it's misunderstood.

This topic was inspired by a Facebook Live I did earlier today on my Dr. Shannon Page, while I was wearing my "infamous" pants. I did an episode about the blue version of these pants a while ago. (EPISODE 064: My Exotic Pants And Red Shoes Got Noticed)

One of the big things that gets in the way of confidence is COMPARISON.

The truth is, comparison never works!

We can never win in the game of comparison.

Being BETTER than someone else isn't confidence.

So what does "Overrated Confidence" mean?

How can we learn from it?

One of the BIG KEYS to confidence is LOVING yourself well…what you are, who you are, what you're all about.

But let's go even deeper…

So many people are seeking confidence.

Why?

Seriously, I believe it's overrated.

Why? Because it's misunderstood.

Being confident for the sake of confidence isn't really confidence.

We may think it is, but it's not.

It's time to REDEFINE CONFIDENCE.

The opposite of confidence is insecurity.

What's insecurity?

The bigger concern is what's causing the insecurity.

Identify what's causing your insecurity. This will help you redefine what true confidence means to you.

Insecurity is selfish.

For you to be insecure you have to be thinking about what everyone else is thinking about you.

Insecurity is very self-centered.

When we get our minds centered too much on ourselves, we can get insecure very quickly.

This is also where fear comes from.

Fear comes from being focused too much on ourselves.

If the truth about YOU is that you're NOT selfish, then you ARE confident. Deep down. This IS the truth about you.

Confidence redefined is TRUTH.

Insecurity is popular…and it's very common.

Insecure people strive to be popular.

Pretending like you're confident to prove to someone else that you're confident (or popular) is again, OVERRATED.

It's a huge, deceptive game!

True confidence isn't even about confidence.

It's about TRUTH.

The truth about you. You being your most authentic self and loving yourself well.

Confidence is standing in that truth and love.

Being the TRUE, CONFIDENT YOU.

Not TRYING to be, but BEING.

Confidence is knowledge of, belief in, living in the truth. This is TRUE CONFIDENCE.

If you'd like to truly express your confident self...

You must let go of insecurity.

You must let go of trying to strive to be popular.

You must let go of the selfishness.

THAT IS CONFIDENT. THAT IS CONFIDENCE.

Standing in the truth about who you are, what and why you are.

Knowledge of the truth will set you free.

Confidence is freedom. Because confidence is truth.
