The Next Level Life

Believe in what you want so much that it has no choice by to materialize. - Unknown

Every day we're manifesting new results in our lives and not even realising we're creating our reality with our thoughts. The law of attraction and manifesting has always been a little woo woo to me yet I have noticed that I have often manifested things in my life without realising it and yet, it has always worked out in bizarre ways.

So I wanted to look into this further to understand if there was a way I could use it to my benefit and stop manifesting the things I didn't necessarily want in my life.  

So what is the law of attraction and manifestation.

 On today's podcast, I break it down into practical steps and uncover the ways in which we are unconcsiously creating things we don't want if we're not careful!

Step 1 - Visualisation - thinking is powerful especially when we apply positive emotion to it. Society grabs our attention often in a negative way and it's up to us to direct our attention to what we do want more of in our lives.

Step 2 - Positive and Negative Emotion - where to use it and and how

Step 3 - Contradictory thoughts - how you are manifesting the stuff you don't want. What dream killing words we can't help ourselves use and  what are you doing that blocks the law of attraction?

Step 4- Allow, Trust and surrender - possibly the hardest part for us control freaks.

Step 5 - Setting intentions before you transition into new segments of your life

Things I referenced:

BOOK - The Law of Attraction - Esther and Jerry Hicks

Big Magic - Elizabeth Gilbert

Tony Robbins - Priming exercise - You Tube

We are so excited to announce the next LWYD Collective Event

- with Special Guest Steph Doyle - The Soul Echoist!

Our last event was the biggest one yet, and I have a feeling this month's event will be no different! The beautiful and kind words that came out of August's event have truly moved me and I'm still buzzing from the high vibe of the night. 

This month, we welcome a special guest speaker: 

Steph Doyle -The Soul Echoist!

Steph is a photographic storyteller, life blogger, creative badass, soulful wordsmith, spiritual empath, intuitive AF and an absolute empowerment Kween!

Steph is fascinated with the power and beauty of human connection and if you have ever watched any of her Insta stories, then you will see she is unapologetically truthful, genuine, human AF and all about the inner workings of what makes us real!

Coupled with her love of deep, soul warming sharing, her passion for sharing everything and anything else - she really is a mixed bag! She's spontaneous, open minded and struggles to keep her focus on one thing only. She wants it all and she wants to share it all, from the depths of her heart to the height of her laughter (which is also loud AF). 

Her infectious energy and beautiful openness will perfectly set the scene to dive deep into mastering your inner critic at our September event!

We all have that voice inside our heads, that constant chatter, the angel and devil, telling us that we're not good enough, skinny enough, smart enough, confident enough, worthy enough  - all the enoughs that keep us playing small and stuck in our heads.  Some people call it the ego, or the mean girl and it can either tear us down or lift us up.

When we learn to master our inner critic, we take the power back and turn that little bitch into our cheerleader.

Would you like to learn how to tame and master your inner critic, so you can step out and do the things that you've always wanted to do?

 Let's learn together as we uncover the inner workings of the critic and create some powerful tools to overcome the negativity and start living our lives to the fullest.

Are you willing to come on this journey with us? Let's go!

Behavior is said to be self-sabotaging when it creates problems and interferes with long-standing goals. The most common self-sabotaging behaviors are procrastination, self-medication with drugs or alcohol, comfort eating, and forms of self-injury such as cutting.

The Act of destroying or damaging something deliberately so that it does not work correctly 

Self Sabotage, what I believe is a response to an feeling or emotion that has become habitual when left unchecked which then becomes an un-conscious behaviour that becomes a problem.

This is why we come to believe that it is out of our control. That we "don't know" why its happening and we cannot change it.

There is always a reason behind all action. There is always a purpose or a pay off.

Self Sabotage is also a form or buffering like over spending , over eating, drinking, spend excess time on socials or dating apps and taking drugs.

Using language like, "I don't feel like it" or "I don't know" because we are not willing to actually look at what is causing the reaction

What emotion are you trying to avoid? And are you willing to experience short term discomfort for long term success? We need to learn to experience and accept all the emotion, whether it be negative or positive, as this is the human experience.

 

We first must decide that it is something that we want to change, and be willing to look at the emotion/feeling that is causing it and then choose to accept the emotion so we can choose to override it to create the success we're looking for.

Wow! I cannot believe I'm at episode 50!!  When I started this podcast last year, I never even thought that I would get to this milestone!  And it got me thinking... am I not thinking big enough?

It's amazing how the universe nudges you in the right direction when you start to show up for your life and your business. I have loved recording every episode and have loved every guest I have had one and I am so excited for what is to come!!

So where could I be thinking bigger? Do you spend time thinking about what you want for your life and your business? Are you limiting yourself and playing small?

When we compare ourselves and only surround ourselves with people who are playing at the same level, we can find ourselves not even realising that we're limiting the possiblities

So this episode is all about thinking bigger and how to get clearer on your vision!  Spoiler alert - think bigger!

As yourself what is possible? Surround yourself with the big players and open up your mind to new possibilities!

I hope you love this episode, as much as I loved recording it!  Thank you for listening!

This little skill is one of the most important skills to master when trying be successful in your life and your business. It's not the easiest thing to recognise when it's happening, it can be sneaky AF but when you have the awareness around what your quitting looks like it can change the game.
Quitting or giving up on yourself can happen in stages... let's have a look at each stage. Procrastination Yep, it all starts with the P word. Procrastination can be a normal part of your day but when it drags out to 2-3 hours then you may want to consider if you are in need of stress relief, gaining some clarity on what you're doing or are you in fear of the outcome? Taking care of yourself throughout your work day is important to stop things from escalating to burnout. Taking breaks, eating at set times to lift your energy, finishing and switching off when you said you will. What causes burnout? Are you stressed being stressed? Busy being busy? This is where you need to recognize where you need to set some boundaries for your time and self care. Are the tasks you're doing constantly depleting your energy or going against your values?
Quitting & giving up Are you delving into overwhelm and confusion? When you can become aware of the stages you go through before you give up on yourself it will help you know when to change something before you give up.
Are you putting things off? Feeling tired or sick? It's so fascinating when you can uncover your patter for quitting so you know how to handle it each time you start giving up on yourself.

How can these three little words keep us so stuck, unresourceful and playing small, and we don't even realise it?

Yet, we are often using them in so many contexts, and the worst part is we actually believe them.

I don't know

I don't know if I can afford that

I don't know how

I don't have the skills

I don't have enough time

Tony Robbins once said, "It's not the lack of resources, its your lack of resourcefulness that stops you"

Combating the "I don't know" scenario, can be tricky. And it's all about changing your thinking, from below the line to above the line thinking.

Recently I have been neglecting my morning routine as the weather has gotten colder and my days have gotten busier, and I have recognized the impact it has had on my days. So today I want to share the ways I set up my day for abundance and mindfulness to lift my energy and my vibration.

Are you starting your day on your terms? Are you reacting to others, to emails, social media and in turn, reacting to life in a not so positive way?

Try starting your day out on your terms and set up your day with a positive intention. I have tried these 5 things to improve my mornings, which have improved my days.

First thoughts of the day: Using empowering words to start the day off right - "Today is going to be amazing!"

Setting an intention: Taking 5 minutes out, maybe with a cup of tea or coffee to set an intention for how you want to feel for the day.

Mindfulness practice: Some form of mindfulness, meaning any of the below, or practicing meditation.

Move: Move your body in some way - whether that be stretching, yoga, pilates, a walk or a gym session.

Feeding your soul & body with the right foods for you: Choosing foods to empower and energise you.

Morning Automation: Decide the night before what you will have for breakfast, how you will start your day and what you will wear to keep the reserves of dopamine for the more important decisions in your  day.

Life Script - Change your mindset from scarcity to abundance. Be grateful now for what you have, and what you will receive in the future. Use inflection and powerful energy and tell the universe what you want for your life now.

Here are a few of the things I mentioned that enhance my mornings.

Do you struggle with saying no?

Feel the need to please and avoid confrontation?

Why do some people find it easy to say no and others struggle?

Let's uncover why we feel the need to say yes and find new ways to say no.

Every opportunity to say no is really opportunity to say yes to something else.

Disease to Please - Fear of rejection and need for external love and validation

Struggling to say no - Dealing with fear of judgement, repercussions and fear of not being loved.

Saying no takes practice and is owning your power, standing your ground and holding your values to a higher standard.

Today's episode is a unique blend of interviews with 9 epic women who were a part of The Collab Excursion on Sunday 24th June 2018.

During this day of connection and collaboration I took the opportunity to interview these beautiful women on following their purpose, what entreprenuership is all about and their insights on The Collab Excursion experience.

So many beautiful insights and unique similarities that were very surprising and heart warming!

When life throws us a curve ball and we spiral out of control, stressed about what to do next - who do we deal with it?

Uncertainty can come in times of a relationship breakdown, change of job or career, dealing with an unexpected change and can leave us stressed, worried and anxious.

Today's podcast is all about dealing with uncertainty and learning healthy ways to move through it.

Here are my steps for how to deal with uncertainty:

Acceptance - the circumstances are not the thing causing your pain and stress

Letting go of the fear of the unknown

Letting go of your attachment to the outcome

Where is your attention? Time to shift your focus and flip your mindset

What can you learn from this? Is this an opportunity for growth?

Seek out play and let the universe worry about it

Be still & trust that you are exactly where you're meant to be

Relinquish control and just trust
