SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

Today I'll uncover four 3rd Person perspectives that'll help you identify YOUR 3rd Person.

Which one are you?

Is your 3rd Person a...

1. Cheerleader?

2. Critic?

3. Communicator?

4. Consistent Committed One?

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

Today I want you to write down a 3rd-party description of YOU. That's right, speak of yourself in 3rd-person…

Take a look at it. Then ask yourself if there's a way that you could become a more consistent and committed 3rd person for yourself, and enter into this party of life…

And endorse everything that you're doing.

So you can become the one who speaks very highly of you…to YOU.

Today's somewhat of a continuation of yesterday's EPISODE 162: eMotion — Passion Or Poison? I shared a powerful strategy for processing your emotions and dealing with emotional pain. If you haven't yet listened to it, I encourage you to do so.

After I finished the podcast I was remembering where and when I first discovered this process, and wanted to share this with you.

Originally I used the T.E.A.R.S. Technique for physical pain — lower back pain to be specific. Even though I didn't give this process a name back then, all I knew was that it worked.

And it's worked for countless number of patients, as well as coaching clients, ever since then.

When you feel pain, allow your T.E.A.R.S. to help you.

Once you locate exactly where you're feeling pain…

T- Talk to the pain.

Ask it why it's there, and what lesson(s) it has to teach you.

E- Experience the pain.

Give it a shape and color. See it and feel it.

A- Acknowledge + Appreciate the pain and how you feel about it.

Thank it for showing up to teach you.

R- Release the pain.

Give it permission to go, and wish it farewell.

S- Show up + SIP…on your life.

Rest in your feeling and healing.

Continue to show up in your life.

Be well.

DISCLAIMER: If you're experiencing physical pain, this technique is not a substitute for seeking the appropriate chiropractic and/or medical attention necessary. It's vital that you discover the cause of your pain, and receive the health care that's required.

Thank you for caring for YOU and your body in the best way possible. Inside and out.

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 in your life are you feeling physical pain?

Write it down.

Walk yourself through the process of T.E.A.R.S.

T- Talk to it. E- Experience it. A- Acknowledge + Appreciate it. R- Release it. S- Show up + SIP…on your life.

Please let me know what happens for you.

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

Imagine if your emotions were the keys that unlocked your passion and progress. Today I'll show you how to use your T.E.A.R.S and also conquer your fears....

Today I share a powerful strategy for processing emotions that'll unlock your passion and motion.

Processing or paralyzing?

Progressing or paralyzing?

Have you ever apologized for being emotional?

Why do we do that?

Have you ever been told that you're emotional?

We, as women, have been labeled as emotional beings…like it's a bad thing.

Whether it's sadness, madness, or happiness, they can all cause tears.

So why not allow your T.E.A.R.S. to serve you and unlock your passion?

I discovered this technique many years ago, while experiencing intense lower back pain. It worked miraculously, and allowed me to heal.

This strategy has helped me, and my clients, to not only process emotions, but to make huge forward progress in healing and living our lives well.

You can too.

T- Talk with it. E- Experience it. A- Acknowledge + Appreciate it. R- Release it. S- Show up + SIP…on your life.

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

Whatever emotion you're feeling today — especially if it's intense — allow yourself to walk through the process of T.E.A.R.S.

Talk with it.

Experience it.

Acknowledge and Appreciate it.

Release it.

Show up and Sip on your life, my dear.

Today it's all about YOU!! I celebrate you and the hope within you. I want to remind you that YOU also have a message within you that desires to be heard…and shared.

It's a hopeful message that's speaking to YOU.

Yes, hope's within you. Speaking.

Are you listening?

I just discovered that Women Sipping On Life is being listened to in over 56 countries!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

YES…YOU also have a message within YOU. And even though it's FOR you, it's not ONLY for you.

It's for all of us.

Please share what's in you.

In order to create a listening for your message, you must be the first one to listen.

Listen to your heart and soul.

Connect.

Make love with the life that you're living.

Allow yourself to creatively and exponentially expand, then you'll be able to share the message of YOU with others.

When you do, we all benefit.

We all rise up, expand, and grow.

And we can sip on this message together.

Imagine what that would look like in your life.

Could you commit to sharing YOU, the message in YOUR heart, your life's work…every day?

Whatever makes your heart sing, allow it to happen…allow it to express HERSELF.

Daily.

Have you given yourself room to stand…go, grow, flow with 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:

What is the still, small voice — deep within your heart and soul — saying to you today?

Take some time to journal, and write down what its saying.

As you do, begin to imagine what it would be like if you allowed that voice to express HERSELF in every area of your life.

In everything that you put your hands to.

You have a bigger voice than you imagine, and also you have the ability and opportunity to have a greater impact on those you touch more than you've ever had before.

It starts in your own heart and soul, my dear.

Listen. Speak. Share the message that's within you.

Thanks again for allowing me to share mine. I trust that it's speaking to the hope that's within you.

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

EPISODE 160: Yep, It's Broken And So Is Your Balance

Today I'll show you why only seeking balance can make things worse.

Could it be that what we need more than anything isn't balance, but to adjust the way we're looking at it and our internal gauges?

We're told that if we want to be balanced that we have to slow down to keep going.

But the truth is…

1- Balance isn't about speed, it's about pressure.

Too much pressure affects balance.

2- Balance isn't about everything being equal. It's about what's working.

My question for you today is NOT if your life is balanced.

It's this…

How's your life working?

Seriously, how's it working?

Do you feel like you or something in your life is broken?

Please consider this…

You're not broken, and neither is your balance.

3- Your gauge is broken, and it's affecting your balance.

You may be trying to get help for what you think the problem is. Things may look and feel broken.

When the truth is…

What you really need is trust.

AND…

Truth.

We had to help ourselves, and identify the cause of the feeling of "imbalance" and "brokenness."

Then adjust our gauges.

Maybe it's time to stop seeking BALANCE, and instead, seek the TRUTH.

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 in your life have you lost your ability to measure pressure?

Perhaps it's on the inside.

Identify that for yourself today, then ask yourself this very vital question…

Are you willing to trust your instincts and discover the truth?

Instead of judging everything from the outside, in…and trying to balance everything from the outside in, identify the pressure on the inside and deal with that first.

TRUST. TRUTH.

Today I help you identify what may be costing and causing you unnecessary frustration, and you're not even aware of it…

This is what happened to me today.

Listen, and learn from my mistake.

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 area of your life isn't working the way you'd like it to be? Perhaps you're a little (or a lot) frustrated.

Identify it.

Then ask yourself if you're fully OWNING that area of your life.

Look at your beliefs, desires, actions, etc.

Journal about this, and allow your heart to show you that even though you may "think" you're owning it…you're not.

Whatever it is for you, make a commitment today. Make the necessary corrections, and FULLY OWN IT.

This podcast episode was inspired by the question that I asked this morning on Facebook LIVE…"What's in your closet?"

It got me thinking about my own personal story regarding closets, healing, and the real reason why I podcast from my closet.

Listen and find out what's in my closet, as well as yours.

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

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

Go into your most personal, sacred space — your bedroom and closet — take a look at what you're holding onto that needs to be released.

Commit to allowing yourself the opportunity to create some SHIFT…shift and release.

Give yourself the gift of clarity, reclaiming your sacred space, heart and soul.

Spend some time journaling about it.

If you've been "trying" to do something, but for some reason (or reasons) you haven't been able to do it yet, this will help you...

Is it possible that there's a part of you that doesn't believe you can?

About 6 weeks ago I decided to do a handstand after not doing one for about 20 years. I used to do handstands, and walk on my hands, quite often.

However, it's been a LONG time.

So I made decision to do a 60-second handstand.

BUT...(the big BUT) physically it wasn't happening. I thought I could mentally overcome my physical limitations.

It didn't happen.

I decided to do the work to build the strength and strategy necessary to do it.

Then, after identifying my mental "belief" block, I simply stopped thinking and DID.

You can too!

1. Declare your desire.

2. Do the work to get the strength and strategy you need to do it.

3. BELIEVE.

4. Stop "thinking" about it.

5. Simply...do it.

6. Celebrate.

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

Where in your life are you attempting to do something, but for some reason you haven't been able to put it together?

Is it possible that you've been thinking about it way too much?

Is it possible that what's required is for you to simply do it?

Stop thinking about it, and simply DO, my dear.

DISCLAIMER/I APOLOGIZE: After recording today's episode, I noticed a clicking sound coming through my microphone. I'm not sure why this happened, but I WILL get it figured out! For today, please forgive the distraction of the occasional clicks. (THANK YOU!)

With everything vying for your attention, how do you stay focused on what matters most to YOU? In today's episode I'll show you a powerful, yet simple, strategy to remember...

So why do we forget to remember?

I believe it's because we don't have enough reminders.

A reminder renews the mind…and a renewed mind is a transformed life.

Remember when we've talked about the definition of SOUL in the past? It's our mind, will, and emotions.

And you know how we define S.O.L., right?

It's Sipping On Life, of course.

This strategy will help you remember to focus on your heart and SOUL, while sipping on your life. Got it?

Here Are 3 Reminders For SIPPING ON LIFE Every Day…

1. S: Start small and finish big.

Simple is the most profound way to focus.

Commit to doing a small thing consistently. EVERY DAY.

Small things every day become BIG things and BIG days.

What is this for you? What could it be for you?

2. O: Open your day with a big step for you.

Create a morning SACRED SELF TIME with a RENEWAL RITUAL.

Listen. Share. Set an intention for your day. Commit to it by staying OPEN. ALL DAY.

3. L: Love the little things.

Look for everything you LOVE. Document. Take pictures. Review at the end of your day.

Give thanks...and thanks will give YOU more to be thankful for.

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. Write out the letters: S.O.L.

2. Write down what comes to mind for YOU with each of these three...

Start small. Commit to the smallest, yet most consistent step you can take on a daily basis.

Open your day. How will you OPEN your day with SACRED SELF time?

Love. Begin to list the things you love most in your life. Look for them. Look for new ones. Then commit to documenting your day in pictures.

3. Write a note that says, I LOVE MY HEART + S.O.L. (Place it on your mirror, refrigerator, and computer.)

This will remind you to remember with a RENEWED MIND + TRANSFORMED LIFE.
