SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

It may not be a TIGER, but perhaps it is...

1. Think about it. Think about the thing that you desire…or you'd define as your "favorite."

Pay attention to what comes up in your heart. The feelings. This will give you…

2. Insight. Look at the feeling that the thought creates in your heart.

3. Go into the feeling. Step into the feeling and say, "What is here for me?"

4. Engage with the feeling. Feel it.

5. Recognize what that feeling really is for you. What BELIEF is causing this feeling?

This will help you to uncover the feelings and beliefs that are hidden under the surface. Especially those connected to what you desire.

The ones that possibly ROAR at you when you least expect it.

The ones that cause you to fight, flight, or freeze.

How are you defining these things?

Once again, the greatest life lessons come from being in the posture of "face down in a pool…"

At times a pool tears.

This time in a pool of hot sweat.

Both require SURRENDER.

At times, it may look like QUITTING.

When what it really means is that you're no longer choosing to serve what no longer serves you.

Getting into hot water or a hot (but not so hot) yoga class definitely has a way of bringing the not so HOT stuff to the surface.

If looking H.O.T. is what you desire then look at this...

H: Human Nature…Excuses.

You can choose human nature or human NURTURE.

O: Outside, In…Comparison.

You can choose comparison or compassion.

T: Transition. Changes.

You can't always choose transition, but you can choose to transform with change.

COMPASSION is required.

Yes…

Kindness and gentleness to simply (yet profoundly) be where you are in the process.

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

Where in your life could you use a little (or a lot) more compassion?

Commit to yourself today.

Lean into that area with compassion and love

What are you focusing on today?

Today I'm going to show you why YOUR voice is also interesting…and why it's the beginning of your stardom.

It started with an OLD, off-yellow wooden door from years of weather and wear. It used to hang in my Dad's workshop in the upstairs of our barn.

Having passed through that door countless numbers of times as I found old wood in Dad's shop, and plenty of wood, saws, hammers, and nails to create the desires of my heart — to say this door is special is an understatement!

After my parents' passing that sacred door spoke to me in a profound way, and I simply couldn't leave the old door behind as I left our family farm for the final time.

It's sat in my storage unit for the past couple years, and I decided it was time it reflected not only my past, but my present, as well as future.

It'll continue to be a reflection of my "then" and "now."

It's also the beginning of my next chapter. My S.O.L. romance with my MAN(hattan.)

Since my lovely Blondie (my Land Rover Discovery) blew up a couple weeks ago, I've been using the brilliant services of Lyft and Uber.

After leaving the Glass Design shop I hopped into a Lyft to my next destination.

Craig was my driver. And as it turned out, my entertainment for approximately 15 minutes of airtime.

He discovered his daughter, Sara, could sing when she was 16 years old. He encouraged her to get up on stage and sing…even though neither of them really knew she could sing.

But he told her this, "You have an interesting voice. It's YOUR voice."

Then he told her that he believed in her.

YOU, too, have an interesting voice, because it's YOUR own.

Please NEVER forget this! It's been there since the very beginning. A voice of your past, present, and future — while speaking into all three.

The only way you'll know your story is if you open your heart, mind, and mouth…AND SPEAK.

Open up the doors of your heart.

AND. SING. Your heart's song.

This is why I started WOMEN SIPPING ON LIFE, the daily podcast, now 400 episodes later.

Thank you so much for being a part of the S.O.L. journey!

Are you ready to open the doors of your heart, like never before?

Are YOU ready for your S.O.L. Romance? Your S.O.L. Adventure?

It's time to open the doors of your heart and allow yourself to SING, and BRING YOU to the place of your SACRED SPACE.

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 "old doors" have you been holding on to, but haven't yet opened?

Who has encouraged you to do so?

Have you encouraged yourself to do so?

IN courage, OPEN UP and let it all out, my dear!

If you've ever felt frequently misunderstood or worried what others were going to think of you, this is for you.

The first two questions you must ask yourself are these:

1. Do you understand yourself? 2. Do YOU care about what YOU think and feel about YOU?

It's simple.

What stands behind your fear of what others think about you, and/or your fear of being misunderstood is this:

1. You don't fully understand yourself. 2. You don't care about what YOU think and feel enough to tell and live in the truth.

If you don't understand yourself and you're not clear about who you are, what you do, and why you do it…others won't be understand you either.

Like I said, it's that simple.

So what can you do about it?

Start today by taking a SACRED S.O.L. STEP in the direction of what 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:

Write down the area where you've been most misunderstood?

How are you not fully understanding yourself in this area?

Spend time writing it out, and giving yourself time, attention, and compassion for understanding yourself.

You can do it, my dear! You got this!

Today's S.O.L. STORY is inspired by this time of year when people are reflecting on where they've come from, and where they're going. Perhaps they're not happy with where they are.

Is this you?

START WITH ONE.

No matter what you desire in your life, you cannot get to where you desire to go without taking one step.

You cannot build what you desire to build without taking one step.

What do you do when you feel like you have to start picking up the pieces and putting them back together again?

This is your time to decide what you're going to build, and which pieces you're going to use.

You have to start with ONE piece.

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

O: Own it.

Take responsibility.

It's your ability to respond.

If you don't own it, you won't be able to do something with it.

Instead you'll get caught in blame, shame, guilt, and judgement.

You'll waste a lot of time, and keep yourself from starting.

Own the opportunities.

See where the doors are open.

Recognize it.

N: Now.

Look at where you are exactly in this moment that you are.

Right here, and now.

If you want to get somewhere, you have to start NOW, HERE, or you'll get NOWHERE.

Start where you are. Or you won't start.

Next.

What now. Then what next?

Take that next step.

E: Engage.

Fully engage.

Get down on your knee, and ask yourself to commit to YOU.

Commit to yourself. Commit to the plan.

Commit to your now…your next, your opportunity and fully OWNING IT.

When you own it, you have to work with.

You have a place to stand.

You have a place to live while you're loving your life and your life's work well.

I know, this may seem like it sounds way too simple.

The most profound things in life are the simplest.

The last thing you need is a complicated plan.

Keep It Simple S.O.L. Sister.

K.I.S.S. yourself today.

One moment. One minute. One plan. One sip at a time. One day at a time.

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

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

What would you like to start today?

Own where you are. Where are you? Own it.

Write down any, and all opportunities, that you see in front of you right now.

Start with one.

Look at your now. Write about it.

Look at your next. What next? Write about it.

Write yourself an official ENGAGEMENT. Ask yourself to fully commit to you, your life, and your life's work well.

To starting. To finishing.

If you've ever felt like you've given your heart away, only to have it broken or burned, this will change everything. I promise!

Today I share a very SACRED S.O.L. STORY with you about my skydiving experience, and the 6 BIG lessons that I learned from it…years later.

No matter what BIG JUMP you're going to make in your LOVE…LIFE, remember these lessons:

1. Make sure you keep a smile on your face, especially when you're falling. Otherwise the wind whipping up into your mouth, and onto your face, will NOT look pretty.

2. Your SCARED will turn into SACRED, if you keep your parachute.

3. At first you'll feel like you're FALLING. And you'll wish you hadn't jumped. It'll be the scariest thing you've ever done.

4. Then you'll feel like you're FLYING. You'll be so excited that you never want it to end. It'll be magnificent.

5. Until you fully access your parachute (versus simply knowing it's there), and you'll find yourself FLOATING. There's NOTHING like it.

It'll be totally miraculous.

You'll be completely in peace, serenity, no worry, only glorious gratitude and thanksgiving!

You'll forget that you ever felt scared, because you've fully accessed your SACRED.

6. Your HEART is your parachute!

As long as you DON'T give it away, you'll land on your feet.

Your heart was never meant to be given away. It was meant to be shared.

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

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

Identify where you feel as though you've your heart away…past or present…a little or a lot.

Take a look at it.

Claim ownership of your heart and soul.

You DO NOT have to give it away. You can SHARE it, but please don't give it away.

In order to begin the process of identifying and changing what you believe, you must do the following:

1. Change the questions you're asking.

If you keep asking the same questions, you're going to keep looking for or creating evidence to support it.

Life isn't happening to you, but through and for you.

Stop going back to the same questions that brought you here to begin with, OR you won't grow past it.

2. You can't keep going back to the past, trying to undo or redo it.

If you keep going back to your history, you'll keep writing the same script.

3. You must believe it's possible for you.

Today's SACRED S.O.L. STORY comes from this morning.

I was working with a coaching client that's had a pattern of being stuck for several years.

He keeps trying to go back to his past to get questions answered for his future.

Your past is not going to give you answers to your future.

If you look to your past for answers to your future, you're going to have a future that looks very similar to your past.

Would you be willing to start looking at where you are today to get the answers you need, and make decisions based on where you are now?

Would you be willing to commit to creating the solutions that you desire for your future?

What's holding you back is that you keep going back.

For my client it's been the belief that he's not enough. This is something so many of us suffer from.

The truth is, it's NOT the truth. And we can either choose to believe the truth and live in freedom, or be stuck in a lie.

He's felt like he won't be accepted for who/what he is.

Have you ever felt this way?

We all have at one time or another. However, if you accept you, others will too. And if they don't, it won't matter to you.

Imagine what you could do if you simply believed that YOU ARE…

No more enough or not enough. No more too much or too little.

No more excuses. No more apology.

Do YOU believe that you can?

He said that he believes it's possible.

When I asked if he believes it's possible for HIM, he said that he thinks he can do it.

That's nice, but thinking you can isn't enough.

It isn't until you KNOW that you can, that you become.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN?

This is my question for you today.

You'll only go as far as your beliefs will take you.

If you BELIEVED that you could, and you KNEW that you could…what would you be willing to do?

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

Answer this question for yourself: If you BELIEVED that you could, and you KNEW that you could…what would you be willing to do?

Remember, it's knowledge of the truth that sets us free.

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

Take ONE step in the direction of what you believe you can do.

Is it the weather? Is it the wind? Is it the waves?

Is it the water?

Perhaps you're in the wrong water?

Perhaps you're going the wrong way?

There's a new way, and it's simply waiting to be discovered. By YOU.

And it requires NEW WATER.

So…

Keep rowing.

Keep going.

Stop fighting against the wind.

Allow it to take you in a different direction.

Stay in the boat.

Get a new way.

Go a new way.

Get out of the water.

Get into new water.

Stop drowning in your life and start SIPPING ON IT.

But you must stay in your boat.

And…

Don't give up hope, my dear!

Today I'm going to uncover two ways that "venting" may be affecting 2 of your relationships and what to do about it.

It affects your...

1. Relationship with others.

You talk about others.

It may seem like it's only talking, but it actually lead to resenting.

2. Relationship with yourself.

You talk about you.

Perhaps you're misrepresenting?

Yourself and/or others.

Or are you repenting?

Your "misrepresenting" is affecting your "presenting," which affects the "present."

Your gift.

YOUR SELF.

So, here's what you can do about it:

1. Speak in first person - with yourself about yourself.

Repent.

Ask yourself and/or others for forgiveness.

2. Speak with "the first person" - the one directly affected.

Release.

Speak the truth in love and live in freedom. No longer giving everyone else your air.

How's that sound?

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

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

What are you "venting" about lately?

Have a VENT with yourself, then speak with the person necessary to bring release — resolve versus resentment.

Ask yourself, "How much is my venting costing me?" Allow yourself to see the cost of your "venting."

Make a decision today to do something different.

Stop venting and START breathing the air of your own inspiration.

Are you ready to share YOU and YOUR S.O.L. STORY?

I'd LOVE to connect with you, and celebrate YOU and your S.O.L.
