SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

Today I share 3 Powerful Time-Saving (Life-Saving) Tips for maximizing your time and life. As we begin to enter into the Holiday season (and/or the summer…wherever you are in the world), we know how quickly time passes.

Time flies, right? Are you flying with it?

We've been told the days go by slowly, but the years go by so quickly.

It's so true.

Savor every moment.

Time is moving.

If you're not moving right along with it, you'll get left behind and wake up one day in the future...wondering where all your time has gone.

My desire is that when WE look back over our lives, we're pleased with what we see.

In order to do so, you must realize this: YOUR TIME IS YOUR LIFE.

Time is more than money. It's your life.

You cannot get time back!

What are you doing with your time moving forward?

Stop trying to get time back. Instead, get time moving FORWARD... AND move with it.

3 Best Time Saving (Life Saving) Tips… SIPPING ON LIFE:

1. Spend your time doing and being what you love.

When you do it will maximize your time.

Why?

Because LOVE is a great multiplier and the greatest creator.

2. Stay in the center. Connected with your source.

Like when I pray or meditate. Time passes slowly.

I used to go on the merry-go-round. If I was in the center I didn't get as dizzy.

3. Snooze it. AKA...Don't Snooze it, but DO Time Block it.

When you block your time, you'll maximize your minute.

Be aware of what you're doing, why you're doing it, and for how long.

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

Write down where you're currently wasting your time.

Circle it.

Make a commitment today that you're going to STOP WASTING YOUR TIME.

When you stop wasting your time, you STOP WASTING YOUR LIFE.

YOU'RE much too valuable to waste, my dear!

Today I show you how to stop going back and move into the future you desire. It starts with what you believe. We all have belief systems that serve us, our desires, and the common good OR they DO NOT.

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?

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.

Today I'll show you how to go beyond your wants to a life of fulfillment. Often our wants are symptoms of a greater cause. The cause being unfulfilled desires.

You must go beyond your WANT to get to your deep desires.

When your desires are fulfilled, your life will be fulfilling.

What are your surface wants?

Where are they coming from?

There are 4 Steps that'll help you go down, deep into the foundation of what you desire.

You'll take these steps by answering these 4 questions...

1. What excites you?

When you tap into the "what"...the want goes away.

Your "what" will direct and guide you to a deeper place.

The place that scares you.

2. What scares you?

The deep desires of our hearts will scare us a little bit (or a lot a bit!)

But then you realize that your SCARED can become SACRED.

3. What feels natural to you?

Your unique, innate, natural gifts will allow you to go deep and discover the true desires of your heart.

You've possibly overlooked them, or taken your gifts for granted.

4. What's your story?

It's in our deepest, darkest place where we start to see that the story we're telling — the problem we're uncovering — has the greatest possibility and solution tucked right in the center of it.

Until you're brave enough to go in, and actually open your eyes to see, and heart to be all that you know is there for you...you'll miss the possibility and solution in the problem.

If you stay on the surface of only what you want, you'll continue to have more want, while feeling unfulfilled.

I'll never forget the day I realized that I don't have to get what I want to be happy. Instead, my happiness will be inspired by knowing what I desire.

YOUR happiness will be inspired by KNOWING what you DESIRE.

Allow yourself to go deeper than the wants, surface, symptoms, and lack.

Go deep within the possibility and prosperity of your heart and soul (ALL IN).

Receive what excites and scares you, and the natural gifts that are in you.

Tell, and live your story — fully engaged.

You'll then go SO beyond any place you've ever dreamed was possible for you.

This is true fulfillment.

It's so exciting and SO TRUE!

(Time for a deep breath.)

Address your wants first, then go deeper into your desires.

What are you really asking for?

Ask your heart. Ask your life.

Be willing to show up and participate in the solution and answer to this question.

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:

Answer the questions:

What is it that you want?

What excites you?

What scares you?

What feels natural?

What's your story?

Imagine what your life would look like if making excuses wasn't an option. In today's episode I show you a new way of looking at truth, and regaining your power.

Truth sets us free, and living a life without excuses is living in TRUTH and FREEDOM.

What do you do when excuses are no longer an option?

You stop making them!

You tell the truth.

When we make excuses, we're NOT telling the truth.

So why are you making excuses? For yourself? For your life? For why you can't…?

Your excuses and reasons are holding you hostage!

It's time to become "unreasonable."

Show up for YOU.

Commitment is bigger than excuse.

AND…

The most important commitment is the one you make with yourself.

First and foremost, you MUST show up for YOU! If you don't, you'll keep making excuses.

There's so much power in living IN the possibility of TRUTH, and letting go of all the excuses that we want to give others, or ourselves.

When excuse is no longer an option, you make a commitment to be all in or all out.

Which do you choose?

It's time to show up powerfully and profoundly.

Stop making excuses!

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:

Answer this...

What would you do if making an excuse wasn't an option?

What would that look like for your life?

Imagine the possibilities and power. Circle it. Put an exclamation point by it. Please commit to it today with all your heart.

Today's S.O.L. STORY comes from my most recent experience of pain. Whether your pain is physical, mental, spiritual, and/or emotional, this message will help you.

The number one lesson is this: Pain is not your problem.

Seriously, pain is not the problem.

The CAUSE of the pain IS the problem.

Look for it. Discover it.

Are you so busy that you're forgetting to take care of yourself?

Yes, I understand. It happened to me too, but…if we don't take time TODAY, tomorrow we'll deal with the consequences. It'll take MORE time, and be far more painful.

Remember, you're not only what you eat BUT…you're also what's eating you. Be willing to look past the pain, and discover the cause.

All drugs, whether we like it or not, cause side effects.

There's a consequence to every single thing we think, feel, and do.

I wasn't suffering from a migraine because I was lacking a pain reliever. I was having a migraine because of specific reasons. There WAS a cause.

If you're experiencing any type of pain, it's VITAL for you to discover the cause. Not merely mask the symptoms of the problem.

Uncover and discover the cause of your symptoms.

Don't simply mask pain, or try to run from the pain or problem.

Pursue the pain in your life. Find out where it's coming from.

Uncover and discover the cause of it. Stop trying to run from it. Stop backing away from the pain or symptom.

Lean into it, my dear.

Look at it — eye to eye, face to face, heart to heart— and figure out what's behind it.

There are lessons in your pain. I promise. What are they?

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:

Write down where you're hurting — experiencing mental, physical, spiritual, and/or emotional pain.

Take a look at it. Begin to identify the cause of the pain. Seek professional help, if needed.

When you correct the cause you can experience healing at such a deep level.

From above, down, inside, and out.

Today I reveal the hidden truth about the change(s) you desire. If you want change in your life, this message is for you.

In order for you to live the life you love and love the life you live, you must make changes in your life.

You have power to change the circumstances or situations in your life. But it doesn't come from "out there."

Change and transformation begins on the inside of you, in your heart and soul.

Perhaps you're like I was...looking for my "happily ever after" in someone else. Yes, I thought I had simply married the "wrong guy."

It's not whether you did, or didn't, marry the "right" someone. The bigger question is this...

Are you meeting, and falling in love with the girl in the mirror right in front of you?

Your life can transform today, and you can begin the process IF you accept that CHANGE AND GROWTH ARE REQUIRED.

Are you desiring the SAME CHANGE over and over — year after year — but you, yourself aren't willing to change?

You must look at your own heart and soul.

I know this may seem way too simple, right?

It's profoundly simple.

If you're willing to go within, you'll no longer go without.

The key to your change is in your heart and soul. YOU must change.

This doesn't mean becoming someone you're not.

You must be willing to stop being the same way you are right now, and go into the depth of who you really are.

...AND become the fullest expression of your most authentic self.

It's not about you being better or best. Authentic is better than both, because it's about BEING.

Authentic is better than better.

When you commit to BEING your authentic, genuine self and the fullest expression of that, it's no longer about better, best, or being more.

There's NO best version of you.

There's only the fullest expression of you, or the most authentic version of you. That's BEING. EXCELLENT. STARTING. TODAY.

When you tap into your authenticity, there's no need to change that, or become better at it.

Simply BE. Activate your BE.

…and you will no longer stay the same!

Our authentic version of who we are EXPANDS.

Growth and change happen naturally.

Life is about growth, movement, and change.

If you're holding onto the idea that you have to change to be better, and it's the SAME CHANGE you constantly seek, but haven't yet expressed it…then today's the day for something NEW. DIFFERENT. COMPLETELY. AUTHENTICALLY YOU.

Take a look at how you see change, and allow that to change and transform you from the inside, out.

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

When you allow it to happen through and for you, you'll become different and completely free to be all that you truly are. So you can experience the transformative growth and development that's in you. That IS you.

Please do yourself a favor, and give up the idea of wanting the SAME CHANGE.

If you truly desire change, then get to know HER (you) fully, wholly, completely, innately and watch that change your life, and the lives of those you touch.

It's transformative. I promise you.

You can't live your life, and avoid change.

Even your SAME will change.

Give up the idea of trying to stay the same, or desiring the same change over and over.

Make a commitment today to fully embrace, acknowledge, and engage with the truest version of you.

You allow the change to be expressed in your life by accepting who you are, and expressing HER (you) fully.

How does that sound?

I really believe the way we look at change, self-development, growth, and life is often incomplete and backwards.

None of these happen from the outside, in...OR by trying to improve yourself.

Instead, it's about YOU being who you are when you stop trying to prove who you are.

Fully engage and express yourself like never before.

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:

Write down the ONE thing that you absolutely know to be TRUE about yourself that you wouldn't change for the world.

Commit to fully engaging and expressing that TRUTH about you in all that you're doing.

Love yourself, your life and life's work well.

Today I'm going to share one of my personal struggles with you, and how I'm slowly, but surely, overcoming it. If you're an interrupter, or know one, today's message will help you.

Are you an interrupter? Or am I the only one?

I've struggled with this my entire life. Part of it has to do with the fact I get so excited. I love to talk, and sometimes it feels as though I can't even help but interrupt myself and others.

HOWEVER…it IS possible.

I'm a work in progress on this topic, but this is what's helped me.

LISTEN to your heart. Then listen with your heart.

Where in your life are you interrupting yourself?

Stay focused on ONE thing at a time.

Is impatience causing you to stop yourself?

It's time to stop suffering from this. Remember, suffering is a choice.

It's optional.

If you no longer choose to suffer from interrupting yourself or others, try the following...

1. Pause. Take a deep breath of inspiration.

2. Focus on your expected outcome.

Get clear on this. Oftentimes interruptions are simply distractions. Being very clear about what you're focusing on will help minimize distractions and interruptions.

Move straight ahead. One step at a time. One sip at a time. 3. Listen to yourself and others.

This includes listening to the feedback from your own life. This allows you to stay tuned in to your expected outcome.

What's it telling you? What adjustments need to be made to continue to move forward…without interruption?

What are you doing? Why are you doing it?

Stay tuned in to your heart.

Interruption cuts off valuable energy, and momentum.

Today's the day to STOP...

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:

Write down where you're interrupting yourself in your life. Or where you've taken yourself off course.

Identify it. Circle it. Make a commitment today to stay the course, get yourself back on track, and keep moving forward.

Like it or not, time changes. Today I'm going to show you where to put your focus so you can create the change you desire, and begin to love change.

Whether you have an extra hour, or not, your time matters.

You may like change, or you may not. But change is inevitable. It's a reality of living here on planet earth.

You can respond to life and create change. OR you can react to it, and resist change.

However, resisting change doesn't allow you to avoid it.

What are you doing to be a catalyst for change in your life? To create positive change...the change you desire?

In order to create change, we must look at our TIME.

There are 3 types of time…

1. The Past 2. The Present 3. The Future

But the only time that we can change is the present, while creating the future.

When it comes to change, the greatest thing we have available to us is our NOW. It's the date called "TODAY."

The BEST day is the one in which you're Being Excellent Starting Today (you know how much I love a great acronym.)

Where we've been gives us insight and valuable wisdom.

Where we are allows us to create a valuable present and future.

Where you focus is where you'll go.

Get your focus on today, because it's what allows you to steer your life into the future you desire.

This life is moving.

So are you going to be in the front seat or the back seat?

You know, as well as I do, that nobody likes a backseat driver. So get in the front seat, and get your hands on the wheel.

Which way are you going to go?

In order to master change, you must be present in your now.

Then look into the future — into the desires of your heart — to see where you're going.

If you desire to become a change maker and a master of change, it's vital to look at where you've come from, where you are, and where you desire to be tomorrow. As well as who you desire to become.

You MUST get present, and FOCUSED.

I'm here to remind you today.

You already know this, but we can get so caught up in our day-to-day lives, that we forget and simply pass time.

It's time to get behind the wheel of your life, yourself, and ideas, and be your biggest cheerleader.

Remind yourself that you can do this!

Practice change daily.

What are you going to do today to get the maximum value from this extra hour, or every hour of your life?

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:

Write down ONE thing that you'd like to change in the next week.

That's right, in the next 7 days. What change would like to create?

Commit to it with all your heart and soul.

You'll be amazed at how change you can create in your life in as little as 7 days.

Change begins the moment you make a commitment. It takes time, but transformation happens the moment you make that decision.

Today's episode explains what ONE DATE can really mean to your life. One Date…my first S.O.L. DATE...changed my life forever, and it's now changing the lives of women around the globe.

The original S.O.L. STORY started around 6 years ago after I made the conscious decision to NOT do it ALONE.

I went from talking about the problem, to discovering the solution…to Sipping. On. Life…TOGETHER.

If you're seeking a very SACRED SPACE to show up, speak up, stand up, and step into the true desires and power of your heart...you're only ONE DATE away.

I've found that it's in speaking up and sharing in a very safe, sacred environment that women are discovering their deepest healing.

Just like I did.

Do you have a place to show up and be naked (uncovered and exposed) and unafraid?

Do you have a sacred space to be completely unapologetic, unashamed, unconditional loved and supported?

A S.O.L. DATE offers all that. However, it's NOT the kind of support that enables a "poor me" attitude.

It's the kind of support that says, "What's your story? What do you desire? Are you willing to take action? When will you do so? Start. Now.

It inspires, educates, and empowers you to fully engage with your heart and soul in the life you're living…

How?

By tapping into the uncovered, undiscovered desire of your heart.

It gets your HOPES UP by elevating your belief system to the level of your desires.

Think, SIPPING. ON. LIFE.

Think, D.A.T.E.

D: Desire - What do you desire? A: Action - Are you willing to take action to create what you desire? T: Time - When? Schedule SACRED time. TODAY! E: Engagement - let's fully engage in the process…TOGETHER.

You can't have a DATE without time. A date is time, and it's a scheduled day/date on the calendar, and it's called TODAY.

It's the date and day that we're living, loving, and dating in.

If you don't set a DATE, you're not living your life and loving it well.

Why? Without time, there's no date. Without a DATE there is no time.

Engage and SET THE DATE.

Engage with the time that IS today.

You…your DATE…are worth pursuing.

You're ONLY ONE DATE away from the desires of your heart.

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

I'd like to invite you to come over to soldateyourself.com and request a FREE copy of my SIX SACRED S.O.L. DATE SECRETS, along with accepting your invitation to be added to my V.I.P. Guest list for a Tuesday Night S.O.L. DATE from 7:00 - 8:00 pm (Central Time.)

I'll add you to the list, and email you access information to join us LIVE via Zoom Video Conferencing.

What do you say?

I hope you'll join us!

Thanks again, to ALL of you WOMEN + SOULS SIPPING ON LIFE from around the globe, for being with me for the past 75 episodes! I'm so grateful, and appreciate each and every one of you! TODAY'S S.O.L. STORY has absolutely made my entire day…WEEK!!

Seriously, I don't think I'll ever forget it!!

It's that moment when someone unexpectedly recognizes you and your work…and you realize that your life's work really IS making a difference in someone's life — besides your own!!

Thanks again to dear, Sarah, for sharing her "Strange Question" with me. Heck, it wasn't "strange" at all…it was AWESOME, and I loved it. I'm so glad she asked!

It was confirmation to my heart that YES…I know what I'm called to do, and am listening to my heart and soul, and sharing its message.

Are YOU listening to what's in your heart?

Are you listening to the message that's IN you, and crying out for you to share it?

What do you KNOW that your heart's desiring for you to do?

Seriously, what I'm saying here IS that there's a message WITHIN you as well, my dear!

What is IT for YOU? Will you do what YOU'RE called to do?

We never know how far reaching something we say, think, do, feel today will have on the life of another.

When you follow your passion, YOU could be the answer for someone else's question at the exact, right moment in time.

Would you be willing to notice and listen to your heart, even if you're not sure anyone else will listen to you?

If you ARE currently doing your life's work, and you feel as though it's not quite going the way you'd like OR it doesn't seem as though anyone's noticing or listening...

If it matters to you, KEEP DOING IT.

I want to encourage you today. DO NOT STOP.

Keep pressing in, leaning in, and going through to the breakthrough of fully expressing what's in you.

This is my personal definition of HEALTH — It's FULL EXPRESSION OF LIFE.

Are you allowing your HEART to be fully expressed in ALL areas of your life?

Are you willing to share YOU with US?

There's no greater day to be alive than TODAY!

Let your heart sing its song!!

Pay attention to your heart. Listen. Do what you're called to do. Be who you're called to be.

THANK YOU!

TODAY'S S.O.L. STEP:

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL.

Write down what you'd uniquely like to share with the world. Whatever this is for you...

OR

If you ARE sharing your message, and you're feeling a little discouraged right now, write this down: YOU CAN DO IT! KEEP GOING, MY DEAR!!

Write yourself a little CHEERLEADER…ENCOURAGEMENT LETTER. "You can do it. Don't stop…"

Commit to what you'd like to start, and take at least one step today.

Someone on the other side of the globe, or your own back yard, is waiting for you to show up and share.

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