Popping in for some REAL LIFE chats today, because I know I'm not alone on this. I've been feeling some serious pandemic fatigue lately. Not a ton of energy or motivation to do much, and quite frankly, everything is exhausting to me.

The point of this episode is to validate and RELATE with the people who might be feeling this way. Because it's NORMAL!

Gradually, things will change and you'll eventually feel like you can walk through that wall again. We're all in this together, and for some reason that makes me feel a bit better.

Quotes:

"We've been at this for a year now, and our fight-or-flight system - the emotional reaction to stress that has been otherwise energizing us throughout the pandemic - is totally overloaded. When that happens, the constant flow of adrenaline starts to drain and apathy settles in. It seems that we've all gone over that tipping point." - Huffington Post

"I don't know… Maybe I've hit the pandemic wall. Don't know if it makes sense to push through, climb it, dig under it, or just stare at it for a long time."

"Throughout the pandemic, however, we've been exposed to so many stressors that our system hasn't been able to catch a break. Cortisol is just pumping through our bodies at rates we haven't had to contend with before."

"Commit to doing one small inspired action every single day."

Have you ever felt drained even though you haven't done anything? Or felt drained after interacting with some people? Or have you ever felt so JOYFUL one day and felt the opposite the next?

As human beings, we are energetic beings. And we want to maintain our energy internally to feel flow, ease, and joy. In today's episode, I cover a few practices that I've overcome to ditch emotional drains and move forward in life such as how to not take things personally, how to assume positive intent, how to stop people pleasing, letting go of draining relationships, and how to adjust when the family bond is broken.

In the end, we are the only gatekeerps we'll ever have to protect our emotions, so we have to take this job seriously and show up - especially when it's hard!

Quotes:

"You cannot continue to move forward in your life to the level you need to be if you're surrounded by energy that brings you down, that sucks the life force out of you." – Oprah Winfrey

"When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering." – Don Miguel Ruiz

"Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream."

"We will never have control over other people's opinions of us. All you can control is the opinion you have of YOU and the work it takes to keep falling in love with who you are."

"Stick with the people who pull the magic out of you and not the madness."

The purpose of this meditation is for you to connect with the part of yourself that is your higher self, and feel your higher self as you. This comes from one of my favourite books, "Spiritual Growth - Being Your Higher Self" by Sanaya Roman.

Spiritual growth means connecting with your higher self. Your higher self is the wise teacher that exists within you, so that's what this mediation is for.

Are you the type of person to confuse HAVING it all with DOING it all? You know, be there for all the people, bake the banana bread, have a social media worthy house, body, and wardrove, slay a successful and fulfilling career, maintain a loving, date-filled relationship with your partner, etc.

This episode is going to be a lot of auditing and editing so that you can move forward with more ease and focus. If we can be more intentional with our most precious resouces of time, energy, emotions, and mindset, which will reduce our feelings of stress and being overhwlemed, we can then be more productive and more fulfilled humans.

Quotes:

"Where we focus our time, energy, thoughts, and actions defines our life and who we are."

"Delegating is not a weakness, it's a superpower."

"The question to ask yourself: Is there someone else who can do this, or am I the only person uniquely qualified?"

"Once I identified that I was bothered because of external judgement and not because of what I considered important for me, it was easy for me to find comfort and return to confidence."

"Cognitive neuroscientists have shown that rewarding social stimuli can give our brains a hit of dopamine and leave us wanting more and more. This is like the response our brains get to drugs and refined sugar."

"When yo ustart to say No to the things you don't want to do or can't do and instead serve your Priorities and Goals, you'll start getting more fo what you do want."

"I will never be criticized by someone doing more than me; I will be criticized by someone doing less."

"It's your right to curate your own life." - Lady Gaga

We're so stressed out these days because we believe everything needs to happen RIGHT NOW! We want everything to happen instantly and live in a world of instant gratification.

Today's episode is perfect if you're feeling like you're not "there" yet, if you haven't hit this "milestone" quick enough that society places on us, or if you feel like you're trying to rush things. Let's break it down and learn how to simply enjoy the process along the way, with some inspiration to keep the long-term vision in mind!

Quotes:

"How can I get more obsessed with the process rather than focusing on what the process can produce?" - Kacia Fitzgerald

"Maybe you need to have 4 years of failure and learn how to NOT DO IT and once you have those beliefs and systems in place, you can take off."

"Everything will suddenly change for you. It will all happen. However, your number one focus right now is to continue making the changes and not give up on yourself. Keep watering your seed."

"Your mental reality is shifting, and soon, your outer reality will match." - Manifest Now by Idil Ahmed

In today's episode, I chat with Amanda-Marie Quintino (but everyone calls her AMQ) about what perfectionism ACTUALLY looks like and means, and why it's not always a positive thing.

AMQ shares personal examples on how different aspects of her life helped her through her eating disorder, how society labels perfectionism and how it leads to feelings of disapointment, and how most of us - are procastinators!

Listen in for tangible tips and takeaways that you can apply to your everyday lives, and how to get over your own inner critic!

Quotes:

"The definition of perfectionism, is someone who has high standards, meaning they expect a lot from themselves in the day in/day out, and they completely LOVE when life is organized and orderly, trying their best at everything!"

"Culturally, we have been taught that perfectionism is something to be proud of. TRUE perfectionists are unlikely to ever experience feelings of satisfaction. Because they haven't reached the golden light of a flawless life. Perfect is more of an obstacle."

"Perfectionism can lead to procastination. Procastionation leads to inaction. Inaction leads to not saying nice things about yourself."

"Questions to ponder: Are the standards I set for myself reasonable or so unrealistically high that my inner critic is impossible to turn off? Do I see failures as lessons along the way or catastrophic setbacks, no matter how insignificant? And the one I am still a work in progress with… Do I allow myself to celebrate my success, or do I immediately place gaze on the next milestone ahead?"

How many of you have felt that you crave MORE in life, but you don't exactly know what "more" is? Today's quick and juicy episode is going to give you some tanigble tips to identify blocks holding you from tapping into your PURPOSE, and help you identify what your purpose is.

You might even want to grab a notebook to jot down some things that come to mind throughout this episode! This is perfect for the person who has said, "I want to uncover my purpose, but I just don't know where to start".

Quotes:

"Remember that purpose isn't a destination, a job, a person, but a daily expression of YOUR highest self."

"Your identity is like a mirror covered with dust. When you first look into the mirror, the truth of who you are and what you value is obscured. Clearing it may not be pleasant, but as soon as the dust is gone you will see your true identity." - Jay Shetty

"Action is the antidote to fear, so if you take action you move past fear!"

"What brings you inspiration in your life? Commit to doing one small inspired action every single day. Because if you align that, your purpose will automatically hit you in the face." - Gabby Bernstein

"Find your purpose that ignites your soul and gets you out of bed in the morning because you're bursting with ideas."

"Fast forward your life, visualize yourself in 10 years from now. And ask yourself, is that where I want to be? And if the answer is no, you need to find a new path."

Have you ever lowered a goal or target because you never acheived it or you think it's unrealistic? Have you ever thought, "I just can't motivate myself". In today's episode, I'll be speaking about how drive trumps motivation, and how to FIND the discipline to take action on your goals.

I will also be giving you my best tips on how to take INSPIRED action rather than taking action from a place of fear, control, and neediness. There's a big difference between taking massive action that feels forced, and massive action that feels inspiring to you. Tune in to hear more!

Quotes:

"Motivation is like a match. You light it up and it's going, but then it burns out. That “motivation” is just a spark. DRIVE on the other hand is like a big burning log."

"The difference between the successful and not, it's one attribute. It's discipline. It's the discipline to work hard and to WANT IT bad enough for their lives. Not when everyone is watching, but when the fans and the coach isn't there. When it's just you and your character."

"Inspired action comes from an internal nudge to do something. Often, inspired action occurs when you are following your heart and doing what makes you happy. It's a response to situations when you are being yourself and not trying to control anything."

"The action you're taking demonstrates the faith you hold. You won't know every step of the way, you just have to take inspired action and you will find your way to endless opportunities."
