SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

In today's episode I share a story that'll help remind you of what you LOVE, and what it has to do with confidence.

My S.O.L. STORY for today reconfirms the following:

1. Confidence comes from expressing what you LOVE and what works for you.

2. Confidence comes from OWNING IT.

3. Authenticity gets noticed.

When you begin to notice what you like, love, and what works for you…and you OWN IT –from the inside out — it's noteworthy.

Where in your life are you NOT doing this?

Do you have something that you're holding back, not wearing, not showing, not saying or expressing because you're afraid?

Would you be willing today to truly OWN what you love…YOU…yourself…admit it and confidently SHOW UP that way?

Today's the day to begin to do exactly that.

Show up as YOU, my dear!

It takes confidence to own your authenticity…and this is where true confidence comes from.

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

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

2. Identify where you're hiding, and NOT rocking your uniqueness…or celebrating what you've got…YOUR TRUE SELF.

3. Write it down. Circle it. Commit to doing this today!

DATE Secrets…and a FREE copy of my best-selling book, Date Yourself Well. You can also check out my Dr. Shannon Facebook Page for more daily S.O.L. TRAINING.

WARNING: This one's going to require some deeper thinking. Is it possible that the reason you haven't finished what you started is because you haven't finished your START? Today I'm going to teach you the secret to finishing what you start. What does it mean to you to "finish your START?" It means you'll become a starter AND a finisher.

For some it may be easier to start, while for others it may be easier to finish.

However, I think most people find themselves feeing stuck in the "I don't know where to start" category.

Start something.

This has always been easy for me…but I've had to learn the hard way that starting simply for the sake of STARTING or running with an idea doesn't always work real well.

Perhaps you're like me and you find it way easier to start, but…

Is this working for you?

For me, I got to a point in my life where I had to finally admit that STARTING wasn't always the answer…and it simply wasn't working.

Starting without finishing will wear you out.

Where's your finish line?

Done gets paid. If you don't finish it, there's a lack or loss of value.

When you exchange that value for something of value you keep the circle of life going…the circle of value growing.

If you start, but don't finish, you won't get results.

Ideas start things.

BUT…

An idea doesn't FINISH it.

Inspiration will take you a long way, no doubt, and staying tapped into the true power of the inspiration will help you finish as well.

HOWEVER, how about finishing your START?

Is it possible that one of the reasons you haven't finished something is because you…haven't started?

AND/OR…

You haven't fully finished your START?

What do I mean by this?

To start or finish anything you must START AND FINISH your START.

How?

You must...

1. SHOW UP.

Are you showing up?

How are you showing up?

When you show up are you fully AVAILABLE?

Are you showing your TRUE SELF…genuinely and authentically?

2. Be ALL IN.

To FINISH your start you must be ALL IN to the START.

A lot of times, we're not ALL IN from the very start. We tiptoe, or walk around it – at times sticking our toe in — but we're never fully diving in.

The truth is, you don't have to dive in, but you MUST get fully into the pool. Step into it, and begin.

You must begin to WALK.

As the water gets deeper, in no time you'll be floating and flowing.

And eventually you're going to need to swim…or you'll drown.

FINISHING YOUR START means you're ALL IN, and you're SWIMMING.

3. Go ALL OUT.

Fully swim and flow in the deep end of the pool. Be ALL OUT…FULL OUT…so eventually so you can finish up your SHOW UP.

FINISH UP YOUR START UP.

Then take it to the next level.

A lot of times we think about the END result, and think it's so many miles down the road that we can't even see the finish line, so we don't start.

If this is YOU today, START.

Then finish what you start by FINISHING YOUR START.

Focus on simply starting and fully finishing your start. FIRST.

Start and get fully into the deep end, and immersed in your START.

Remembering that in order to get to the ultimate finish line that's ahead, it's going to require several finishes.

You must have several FINISHES before you get to the ultimate finish line.

The end of our lives is the ultimate finish line…and the beginning of a new to START.

It's another ALL IN moment.

The first finish is FINISHING YOUR START.

Are you willing to be ALL IN to the start AND to go to the next FINISH?

And so on…

If you only partially START, by NOT finishing your start, you'll keep starting...starting...starting and never finish because you haven't first FINISHED YOUR START. (Got it?)

The key to your finish is FULLY STARTING…finish your start, my dear!

If you don't fully finish your START, you'll never finish your FINISH.

Starting and finishing coincide.

Finish your START so you're able to start your FINISH.

Then you can FINISH WHAT YOU START.

And begin something new to START AGAIN...

This may be YOU today. If you feel as though you need to start over or start again, it's OKAY.

Step in so you can go ALL IN. Then you can FINISH YOUR START.

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's the ONE thing you've been meaning to start, but haven't OR you've started something and haven't finished?

Write it down. Circle it.

Commit by taking a step today in the process of fully FINISHING YOUR START.

So you can START YOUR FINISH.

I sure hope this helps you. Thanks for tuning in today, and every day.

Today I'm going to give you some powerful steps that'll help you reconnect with the inspiration that's in you. If you're lacking that inspired, loving feeling…you'll find it IN you. It's simply fallen asleep. It's time to wake up!

Disengagement will cause us to lose that loving feeling, and leave us feeling uninspired.

Are you suffering from the diagnosis of: UNINSPIRED?

The cause is DISENGAGEMENT.

A lot of things can cause disengagement, including our circumstances.

BUT...

Do our circumstances cause disengagement OR does our disengagement cause the circumstances?

Here are 3 things you can do today to reconnect with the inspiration that's IN YOU.

Start by looking at both the present AND future...

1. Get out the past and into the present. 2. Anticipate the future and create something you're excited about. 3. Remember that you have an expiration date.

The past, present, and future happen for us, and through us, to teach and grow us into our today…preparing us for our tomorrow.

Imagine that!

Ask your heart to show you the BIG WHY.

AND the WHY that YOU desire.

Why do you want to be here today and tomorrow?

Create something compelling around this desire.

Remember: You began with INSPIRATION. It's IN YOU.

Because it's in you, it IS accessible.

The question is, are you willing to look for it, go for it, find it? Are you willing to take what you find, and create something magnificent and inspiring with it?

You must first be inspired, before you can share your inspiration.

YOUR INSPIRATION ISN'T LOST.

It's still there…quietly waiting for you to recognize it, get inspired by it, and begin to put it to use.

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

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

Write down what inspires you.

Take that ONE thing that is most inspiring. Tap into it. Re-engage…fully engage with it. Today.

If you've ever suffered from the diagnosis of procrastination, you're not alone! There is a cure. In today's episode I teach you a 4-Step Strategy for overcoming…treating…adjusting the Procrastination Affliction.

Today's S.O.L. STORY…

I've been in a resistance, procrastination mode all day! This is what I know about procrastination...

First, you do have power in the situation. You're not a victim.

Second, try these steps. They work!

1. Are you getting enough physical rest? Evaluate the amount of rest you've had. If you're not well rested, well fed and nourished, you won't have enough energy to do what you've set out to do.

Get some rest so you can be ALL IN…body, mind, spirit, and emotions.

2. Whatever it is that you're procrastinating, ask yourself WHY you're doing it. What's the big WHY for doing what you do? What's your inspiration?

Reconnect to it, or release it.

3. Redefine your "should" or "have to" with a "CHOOSE TO."

If you don't choose to, then see #2 again and re-evaluate.

4. Schedule it. No more "someday," or "sometime." Once it's scheduled, it becomes, "this time"…today.

Get it done.

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

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

1. Write down what you're resisting…PROCRASTINATING.

2. Circle it, and go through the 4-Step Checklist, and release yourself.

GET IT DONE.

In today's episode I uncover a huge global epidemic, and what we can do about it. It's also a continuation of our last two episodes, EPISODE 058: Date Yourself Well and EPISODE 059: The Boob Job.

As women, being judged by our looks is a global epidemic, especially here in the country where I live — America.

I believe, all we humans are judged by our looks, especially in the process of aging. Not only do we do it to others, but we also do it to ourselves.

Today I'm declaring the beginning of my ANTI Anti-Aging CAMPAIGN.

To think that we can NOT age is simply NOT possible. It's part of being human and being on planet earth.

It's the beauty of being on planet earth.

The path of life leads to old-age, if we're blessed to be here more days than today.

If you can KNOW and LOVE yourself at a passionate, purposeful, intentional, conscious level of LOVE, that's the more GORGEOUS thing…and it's TIMELESS.

A timeless Beauty. A timeless, sacred, sacred soul.

I'm going to be turning 50 next month, and I'll be half way to 100! Yay!

How do we begin to embrace, work WITH, and accept the journey of getting older? Wrinkles? Saggier skin?

Beauty must come from a place within the soul. It's about learning to love our bodies well. Right here. Right now.

If we're going to live on planet earth, we need to embrace it.

This is my revelation, as I'm heading toward my 50th birthday.

"Shannon, you had better get right and confident within your soul about accepting who, what, and why you are...MORE than in the way you look. Otherwise you're going to be bummed out."

This is reality. If we don't find our VALUE in that which is GREATER than the physical appearance of our bodies, we're heading down a road that's not going to work well. We'll be FIGHTING every step of the way.

Why do that? Why not embrace change as it comes?

We can do that by focusing on what we CAN do.

Staying strong. Confident. In the truth. In love with our bodies. Caring for them well.

If you love YOU, you'll care for you. And when you care for you, it'll allow you to radiate health.

There's nothing more vibrant, vital, and beautiful then a healthy body. It starts with a healthy soul.

These 3 Steps will drastically change the way you look at your body — especially when it comes to aging.

If you're going to change anything in your life, YOU must change.

1. In order for you to change anything in your life — including your body — you must first change your BELIEF.

The relationship we have with our bodies is no different than the relationship we have with others.

If you're expecting someone else to change before you love him/her, how's that working for you?

You CAN'T change anyone.

If you're expecting your body to change BEFORE you love it, you're not going to be able to do it (at least for long.)

But what WE CAN DO is WE CAN CHANGE from the inside, out…starting with our beliefs.

We can change the way we believe about our bodies, the process of aging, and living on LIFE longer than we did yesterday.

We're not going to DEFY natural laws.

But we can redefine them. WHAT does getting older mean to YOU?

The best days are ahead, my dear!

When our beliefs change, we AND our circumstances change.

2. If you desire change, you must look at your desires for the next 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years of your life.

What are you going to stand for? What are you going to create in your life? What are the desires of your heart for your body?

And the big question is: Are you working WITH your body?

What are you working FOR? Standing FOR?

3. If you desire to love your body in a way that's SO EMPOWERING…you must TRUST.

Trust the process. You must TRUST. More, and at a higher level.

To LOVE and TRUST our bodies in the process of getting older each, and every, day.

Are you getting wiser, freer in your expression of who you are? Are you taking care of yourself at a level you've never taken care of yourself before?

If you don't trust the process, and the desires of your heart, you'll work against your body — and fight it every step of the way.

Please don't do that!

It's unnecessary. It's unnecessary suffering.

Work WITH YOU. Stay Committed. Lifelong. Trust. Trust the process. Trust YOU. Trust the ONE who created YOU, and put you here on planet earth for such a time as this.

Work with what you have. Fall in love with YOU.

When you love your body well, you'll take care of it. When you do, it will take care of you.

Love your life well… it will LOVE you back.

Today's the day to start investing in your future, as well as your present…by LOVING YOU.

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:

1. What area of your life — your body as a whole — would you like to change?

2. Write down these 3 words: Belief, Desire, Trust.

3. Write down a new and empowering BELIEF for your desired change in your body.

4. Write down your specific desire, and WHY.

5. Write down a statement of TRUST about how you can become the trustworthy care-giver, lover of your body and lover of your life.

DECLARE IT FOR YOURSELF. Take a step in this direction today.

I appreciate you, and thank you for being here.

Please come over to WomenSippingOnLife.com, and leave a comment. I'd love to know how you're doing, and where in the world you're listening from. Please let me know how you're committing today to love your body well.

I'll look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.

In today's episode I share a very personal story of self-love and acceptance. AND 3 Secrets that'll help you love your body. This is not about the job you did, or didn't, get because of your boobs. This is about small-breasted women AND large-breasted (as well as everyone in between) coming together UNITED. IN LOVE.

It's time to redefine beauty for yourself.

What does BEAUTY mean to YOU…to US?

There's nothing more beautiful than a confident soul. And this comes from TRUTH.

The TRUTH is…not only are you more than enough…You ARE.

You are beautiful. Alive. Whole. Well.

If you don't believe this, you'll begin to believe me through the process of learning to love yourself well.

It starts by dating yourself well.

Today's SACRED S.O.L. STORY (aka My Boob Job Story) inspired me to fall in love with my body, and the way it looks…especially my breasts.

Here are 3 Secrets that'll help you fall in love with your body.

#1: Focus on what's RIGHT with you, and not what you think is WRONG with you.

#2: Focus on YOUR opinion of yourself…and YOUR body. See it from a different perspective, with a new belief.

Are you trying to FIT into something your were NEVER designed to fit into?

#3: Try on your new belief. See how it fits.

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

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

1. Write down that ONE body part that you don't particularly love and appreciate.

2. Write it a Love + Appreciation Letter.

Then let me know what happens for you.

What's the cost of NOT dating yourself well? A whole lot of unnecessary pain, suffering, and sometimes years of your life. The emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial consequences can be exponential. Today I uncover, and teach you the possibility and process of fully engaging in your life so you can fall in love with YOU. Why? So you can become the great lover of your life.

The PROBLEM is that often women (and men as well) suffer from one or more of four distinct syndromes that have caused more heartache and unnecessary loss than one can imagine.

If you're willing to explore the possibilities and process of becoming the great lover of your life, you can become the S.O.L.UTION that you seek.

The Four Syndromes are:

1. The Cinderella Syndrome. 2. The Disengagement Syndrome. 3. The Superwoman Syndrome. 4. The Poor Me Syndrome.

Once you've identified which one (or more) of these you're suffering from, then we you discover the process and plan for healing.

So you can fully engage in your life again, and fall in love you you, your life + life's work.

How?

There are Five Engagements Of A Great Lover.

You must:

1. Meet You. 2. Know You. 3. Value You. 4. Be You. 5. Love You.

When you do, you can begin to romance (WOMANCE) YOU and YOUR LIFE like never before.

This process of mastering the art of dating myself well has completely transformed my love…life. It's done the same for many women, and it can for you too.

Are you ready to learn, not only how to engage with your life, but to fully enter into the PROPOSAL of a fully engaged life of greatness?

Then take the next step. Date Yourself Well.

This week I did a Facebook Live and asked the question, "Are you a people pleaser?" In today's episode I show you how you can set yourself free from the epidemic of people pleasing.

Everyone suffers from this at some level. It's an age-old problem. I believe it's part of being human, but some of us take it way too far.

Do you care more about others' opinions of you than you care about your OWN opinion of YOU?

The problem with this is, you lose yourself in the process.

Am I talking to you, my dear?

That was me for many years. I was in the performance of people pleasing, trying to be perfect to get everyone to like me.

I gave that up a long time ago, but it still creeps up sometimes. It does for all of us.

Here's a challenge for you: If you want to do something today that'll help you face your fear of worrying about what others are thinking of you, do a Facebook LIVE video, and post it.

You'll never move past where you are today if you're so busy being concerned about what everyone else is thinking about you.

Others' opinions of you are NOT your business.

When I got this revelation, I felt so relieved.

Imagine what you could think about if you weren't so busy thinking about what other people were thinking of you?

This may seem selfish or self-centered. It's NOT.

Notice that I didn't say that others' opinions don't matter. I said that their opinions of YOU are not YOUR business.

Their opinion(s) of you don't matter unless:

A. You ask for their opinion. B. You pay for their opinion.

So often we value others' opinions of us more than we value our OWN opinion of ourselves.

This will cause you to: - Feel stuck. - Hold back. - Not show up. - Or show up, but NOT authentically and genuinely.

When you focus on what you don't want others to think or feel or do, you're focusing on what you DON'T WANT.

When you focus on what you don't want, it's like you're playing NOT to lose.

Stop doing that.

If you don't value your opinion of you, then you'll put it in the hands of others.

When was the last time you took a moment to check in with yourself, and ask, "Self, how are you doing?"

Or are you allowing everyone else to tell you how you're doing?

The day I stopped doing this, I was set free.

You're so busy thinking about what others are thinking about you, but they're not. They're too busy thinking about what others are thinking about them, or what YOU'RE thinking about them!

It's an epidemic.

Free yourself from this today. So you can think about things that really matter, and make a difference in your life.

Get on board with yourself, and loving your life + life's work well.

Stop trying to people please.

Care about people…MORE than their opinions.

Care about YOU. Allow yourself to be you.

Care about people. Allow them to be themselves.

Stop having so many opinions about everyone else, unless they've asked, or paid, for your opinion.

People matter. Opinions don't matter as much as people do.

You matter, and your opinion of YOU matters.

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

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

Write this down. "Other people's opinions of me, are NONE OF MY BUSINESS."

Circle it.

Declare and receive this new way of living. In freedom. Today.

Today I got a message from my computer saying my storage was almost full. It's that moment when you realize that your capacity is almost maxed out. Have you ever felt this way in your life? Today I'm going to help you free up some space for you and the desired life you're creating.

Are you maxed out?

I know this feeling all too well. I've been there…face down in a pool of tears. Feeling like I was out in the middle of the ocean, flailing around and seemingly drowning in life. My life was maxed out. I felt all alone, and completely maxed.

If this is YOU today, and you feel right on the edge of your limit. Or you feel as though you're at the end of your rope…with no more storage available, no more credit available, and maxed out. There IS something you can do about it.

You may be asking yourself why you're doing it. OR WHAT you're doing...

No matter what, this is what you can do about it.

What's maxing you out is that you're holding on to past stories, pain, and information that no longer serves you today.

The first thing you can do is to RELEASE anything and anyone that's no longer serving you.

This is NOT selfish.

If something or someone is no longer supporting and serving you, fitting in, or playing a positive role in the life you desire and are creating, then it's time to let it (him/her) go.

Do you aspire to experience something bigger, better, or different than you have now? Then it's going to take something different.

Your current tools may not serve you well in the future.

Carrying around baggage from the past will not serve your future, or your present.

Let it go, my dear.

Lighten your load. Delete. Trash. Empty trash. Release it and yourself today. So you can expand into the heart and soul that you're becoming and the life you're creating for yourself.

This is the one step that I'm going to encourage you to focus on today.

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:

Identify where you're MAXED OUT, and holding onto past information, past relationships, thoughts or beliefs that no longer serve you or the greater good.

Circle it (them.) Intentionally and consciously release it (them), and yourself today to live the life + life's work that you love.

It's possible. I promise.

If you desire to go fully into today and your tomorrows, let go of yesterday.
