29. Spring Intentions- How to Bloom with a Spring Mindset

1
00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:06,880
​
Hey everyone.

2
00:00:06,885 --> 00:00:07,100
What's up?

3
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:09,379
It's Chelsea VanBuskirk
with the Heart AF podcast.

4
00:00:09,379 --> 00:00:11,059
Hope you guys are all doing well.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,670
Spring is here.

6
00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:18,500
So today I wanted to talk
about having a spring mindset.

7
00:00:18,890 --> 00:00:21,530
Um, I've been walking
outside a lot more lately.

8
00:00:21,535 --> 00:00:24,260
Walking is one of my
favorite things to do.

9
00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:29,810
Just being outside in nature and just
moving my body is just a really like.

10
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:33,510
Nourishing thing for me to do, and
I'm really happy that I've been

11
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:38,520
able to bring that, um, into a more
consistent practice for myself and

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,530
just making that time for those walks.

13
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:42,500
Usually I like to listen
to some audio books.

14
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:43,850
It just helps me clear my head sometimes.

15
00:00:43,850 --> 00:00:44,389
I just think.

16
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:48,964
It's just a great way to
unplug and really just show my

17
00:00:48,964 --> 00:00:51,424
gratitude for what's around me.

18
00:00:51,424 --> 00:00:54,404
And, also being in nature, you
get to see a lot of cool things.

19
00:00:54,404 --> 00:00:57,674
And so right now I've been
noticing, you know, the trees

20
00:00:57,674 --> 00:00:58,724
are starting to bud, right?

21
00:00:58,724 --> 00:01:01,704
Like we're, transitioning seasons
right now, and then depending on

22
00:01:01,709 --> 00:01:06,954
where you're at, um, you know, here
in Colorado, like we kind of have what

23
00:01:06,954 --> 00:01:08,304
a lot of people call sprinter, right?

24
00:01:08,304 --> 00:01:11,394
This spring winter, because
usually the springtime is our

25
00:01:11,394 --> 00:01:13,945
snowiest season, um, versus winter.

26
00:01:13,945 --> 00:01:17,604
But this winter we had
a really unusually cold.

27
00:01:18,009 --> 00:01:20,649
Winter and there was a lot more
snow than there is normally.

28
00:01:20,649 --> 00:01:24,999
So, um, I think Colorado for
sure is definitely itching to

29
00:01:24,999 --> 00:01:28,299
get more of that sun and that
warmth on a more consistent basis.

30
00:01:28,299 --> 00:01:29,259
But, you know, you never know.

31
00:01:29,259 --> 00:01:33,039
In Colorado we typically still
get snow, um, in May and around

32
00:01:33,039 --> 00:01:34,089
Mother's Day and things like that.

33
00:01:34,089 --> 00:01:35,314
So you just never know with us here.

34
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,774
So I'm not sure what your weather's
like in your neck of the woods,

35
00:01:38,044 --> 00:01:42,359
but seeing these signs of spring
and like what's coming, right?

36
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:45,719
Like seeing that, is just
so reassuring, right?

37
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:48,809
And letting us know that
spring is on its way.

38
00:01:48,809 --> 00:01:51,809
You know, whether if we do get some
more snowstorms or not, like the

39
00:01:51,809 --> 00:01:55,049
trees are budding and that means
that they're eventually gonna bloom.

40
00:01:55,049 --> 00:01:59,849
And so I wanted to apply that to, to this
season within ourselves and our mindsets

41
00:01:59,849 --> 00:02:05,189
and really, giving ourselves this space
to set intentions for this coming season.

42
00:02:05,189 --> 00:02:09,309
And I would like for you to, um,
visualize your intentions as almost

43
00:02:09,309 --> 00:02:12,760
like the seeds you're planting for
what you want to bloom in your life.

44
00:02:13,089 --> 00:02:15,820
And, um, I wanna give you an example that.

45
00:02:15,820 --> 00:02:23,404
Recently, I had, um, invited a close
friend of mine to come to this women's,

46
00:02:23,454 --> 00:02:28,079
gala evening, and we were walking in
and like, she stopped me after we got

47
00:02:28,079 --> 00:02:28,889
our name tags and she was like, wait.

48
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:30,989
What's your intention for this gala?

49
00:02:30,989 --> 00:02:32,549
Like, what's your
intention for coming here?

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,109
And I'm like, oh shit.

51
00:02:34,109 --> 00:02:37,589
Like I did not even . Begin to think
of an intention of coming here.

52
00:02:37,594 --> 00:02:39,779
I mean, I just thought it sounded
fun, you know, a group of women.

53
00:02:39,784 --> 00:02:43,169
It had some awesome panelists that
I was interested in and hear speak.

54
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,259
And really, I was just worried about
what I was gonna wear, you know?

55
00:02:46,259 --> 00:02:49,439
Cuz normally I'm an active wear,
so actually getting dressed in

56
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:52,049
real clothes, like that's what
I was, you know, worried about.

57
00:02:52,049 --> 00:02:55,574
I was not even beginning to
think of what intention I wanted

58
00:02:55,574 --> 00:02:57,224
to have coming into this event.

59
00:02:57,224 --> 00:02:59,054
And so it really had me stop and think.

60
00:02:59,054 --> 00:03:03,034
And so quickly on my feet, I was
like, my intention is to make some new

61
00:03:03,034 --> 00:03:07,804
connections that will, um, you know,
help foster my growth in like, my purpose

62
00:03:07,809 --> 00:03:11,334
of where I wanna go as far as, , my
business, my podcast, that kind of thing.

63
00:03:11,334 --> 00:03:11,874
My book.

64
00:03:12,364 --> 00:03:15,004
I wanna make some meaningful
connections, like new connections

65
00:03:15,004 --> 00:03:16,504
that I haven't made, um, before.

66
00:03:16,504 --> 00:03:19,834
Cuz some of the, uh, the people at
this event I have met at other events.

67
00:03:19,834 --> 00:03:22,354
So I was looking to make two
new connections that, that

68
00:03:22,354 --> 00:03:23,344
ended up being my intention.

69
00:03:23,344 --> 00:03:27,311
And that was such a gift that my
friend asked me because that really

70
00:03:27,311 --> 00:03:29,801
set the, the tone for the event really.

71
00:03:29,801 --> 00:03:32,291
I mean, it gave me some purpose and
it was something, you know, I think a

72
00:03:32,291 --> 00:03:35,824
lot of us don't really take the time
to figure out what our intentions

73
00:03:35,824 --> 00:03:39,064
are when we're doing specific
things, you know, and, and intention.

74
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:40,829
is very important, right?

75
00:03:40,829 --> 00:03:44,249
It can really affect our
results on whatever we're doing.

76
00:03:44,489 --> 00:03:48,309
I spoke on last week's podcast about
the importance of like that mindset

77
00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:53,349
and the power of our thoughts, and
how that transitioned me from having

78
00:03:53,349 --> 00:03:57,734
a plateau in my, you know, weight
loss journey and my results was my

79
00:03:57,734 --> 00:03:59,804
mindset and my belief in myself.

80
00:03:59,809 --> 00:04:02,804
And switching that intention, that
mindset, that belief in myself

81
00:04:02,804 --> 00:04:06,254
that I am making progress, like
this is very easy for me to do.

82
00:04:06,254 --> 00:04:09,794
Like really believing that and having
that intention about my efforts

83
00:04:10,304 --> 00:04:14,594
shifted and let me see those results
I was, you know, wanting to see.

84
00:04:14,624 --> 00:04:16,694
And, um, and so it's, it's the same thing.

85
00:04:16,694 --> 00:04:18,549
It's like anything we're doing in
our life, if we're doing it without

86
00:04:18,549 --> 00:04:21,559
intention, , then we might miss the mark.

87
00:04:21,559 --> 00:04:24,139
Like we might be missing something
that could be really great.

88
00:04:24,379 --> 00:04:27,049
Um, and so being really intentional
and really present with what

89
00:04:27,049 --> 00:04:30,529
we're doing, um, you know, think
about like going grocery shopping.

90
00:04:30,529 --> 00:04:33,019
Like when you make a list, like
you have an intention, right?

91
00:04:33,019 --> 00:04:35,689
You have that list to show you,
this is what I intend to get at the

92
00:04:35,689 --> 00:04:38,659
grocery store, and it makes your
grocery shopping trip efficient and

93
00:04:38,659 --> 00:04:41,479
you're getting everything that you
need to take home to make the meals,

94
00:04:41,479 --> 00:04:42,559
you're gonna make that kind of thing.

95
00:04:42,559 --> 00:04:44,959
So think of that like, you know, when you.

96
00:04:45,634 --> 00:04:48,334
Planning your day, like if you take
a little time out the night before to

97
00:04:48,334 --> 00:04:50,764
focus on what's my intentions for the
next day, for the next week, for the

98
00:04:50,764 --> 00:04:54,604
next month, what are the goals I have
for myself on a personal, spiritual,

99
00:04:54,784 --> 00:04:59,314
um, you know, work level relationships,
budgeting, finances, whatever it is.

100
00:04:59,314 --> 00:05:03,064
Like, if you start setting intentions
that'll help keep you in alignment

101
00:05:03,069 --> 00:05:05,734
with doing the actions you need to
do to get wherever you wanna go.

102
00:05:06,334 --> 00:05:11,744
So, talking about, setting our intentions
for this springtime and really.

103
00:05:12,349 --> 00:05:15,949
You know, visualizing this kind of
seeding process of we're gonna seed these

104
00:05:15,949 --> 00:05:19,369
intentions for this coming season and
what we want to see bloom in our lives.

105
00:05:19,699 --> 00:05:24,949
I can tell you for me, my intentions
for this coming season are, you know, to

106
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:29,359
get out there and do more sound healing
workshops cuz I see how beneficial that

107
00:05:29,359 --> 00:05:31,939
is for the people that get to come to
that and figuring out ways to bring

108
00:05:31,939 --> 00:05:33,619
this sound healing to more people.

109
00:05:33,889 --> 00:05:38,459
Um, I wanna intentionally get back
to work on my book and, and really

110
00:05:38,489 --> 00:05:42,144
figuring out these points where I've
been stuck at in writing that and really

111
00:05:42,144 --> 00:05:46,284
intentionally get back into the groove
of a, a more consistent writing practice

112
00:05:46,284 --> 00:05:51,079
and, um, getting that developed and
getting, um, into , a writing routine.

113
00:05:51,379 --> 00:05:55,119
I intentionally wanna keep, up
with my, weight loss journey

114
00:05:55,119 --> 00:05:56,589
and getting back to the,

115
00:05:56,904 --> 00:06:00,414
the body that I feel confident
and, and fit and healthy in,

116
00:06:00,414 --> 00:06:02,994
and feeling comfortable in my
clothes, like, I'm intentionally

117
00:06:02,994 --> 00:06:04,674
gonna keep working towards that.

118
00:06:04,704 --> 00:06:08,424
I'm intentionally gonna keep strengthening
important relationships in my life.

119
00:06:08,574 --> 00:06:11,094
Like, these are the things I
want to work on intentionally.

120
00:06:11,334 --> 00:06:14,574
And setting these intentions, whether
you're you writing them down in a

121
00:06:14,574 --> 00:06:19,044
journal, um, practicing, you know,
manifesting techniques with, um, you know,

122
00:06:19,044 --> 00:06:23,380
journaling like affirmations, I, I gave
you guys, a little hint on doing this.

123
00:06:24,465 --> 00:06:28,955
In the previous episode about how you can
write from the end, like your future self,

124
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:31,624
like you're expressing gratitude for that.

125
00:06:31,624 --> 00:06:33,005
You already have what you want.

126
00:06:33,215 --> 00:06:36,155
You are seeing yourself from the
end, like seeing yourself as already

127
00:06:36,455 --> 00:06:37,715
being in the state that you want.

128
00:06:37,715 --> 00:06:42,364
So if you want a better relationship,
like you're seeing like, you know, I have

129
00:06:42,395 --> 00:06:44,224
an amazing relationship with my husband.

130
00:06:44,374 --> 00:06:46,655
Like you're already seeing like
what you want, and you're stating

131
00:06:46,655 --> 00:06:50,374
that as it's already happened,
and then you are repeating that.

132
00:06:50,374 --> 00:06:54,504
So you're speaking it with intention
and then internalizing that until

133
00:06:54,504 --> 00:06:55,914
it becomes your reality, right?

134
00:06:55,914 --> 00:06:58,584
It's like you have to act as
if the end is already here.

135
00:06:58,824 --> 00:07:01,134
I've talked about that a lot
when you're, um, you know,

136
00:07:01,134 --> 00:07:03,834
learning the law of attraction
and learning about manifestation.

137
00:07:03,834 --> 00:07:06,534
It's all about seeing from the end, you
know, I pull that quote from Wayne Dyer

138
00:07:06,534 --> 00:07:10,554
all the time, like he sees from the end
that was what he expressed a lot in his

139
00:07:10,984 --> 00:07:15,174
teachings and his writings and his books,
is you are seeing that it's already there.

140
00:07:15,174 --> 00:07:18,564
You're seeing that future self is
already here and just believing

141
00:07:18,564 --> 00:07:23,104
that, that having that belief is
what helps you get that reality.

142
00:07:23,344 --> 00:07:26,474
Um, and it's so true that literally
our thoughts create our reality.

143
00:07:26,499 --> 00:07:26,734
Right?

144
00:07:26,734 --> 00:07:29,904
That was something I'm echoing from last
week's episode too, Is that whatever we

145
00:07:29,924 --> 00:07:31,804
think about becomes a reality, right?

146
00:07:31,804 --> 00:07:32,704
Whether we want it or not.

147
00:07:32,704 --> 00:07:37,474
So again, you're, you have to really
get ingrained in you that every

148
00:07:37,479 --> 00:07:40,174
thought you have has an intention,
whether you want it to or not.

149
00:07:40,174 --> 00:07:45,325
So, Really taking the time to pause
and, and figure out like, what are my

150
00:07:45,325 --> 00:07:46,945
intentions for this specific moment?

151
00:07:46,945 --> 00:07:49,015
Like, what are my intentions
for this podcast right now?

152
00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:49,315
Right?

153
00:07:49,525 --> 00:07:54,031
My intention for this podcast is to
help you maybe, um, flip a light switch

154
00:07:54,031 --> 00:07:56,791
in your mind and to help you figure
out what intentions you wanna set for

155
00:07:56,796 --> 00:08:01,111
yourself for this coming season and how
you can set yourself up for, um, you

156
00:08:01,111 --> 00:08:04,681
know, having more successes and wins in
your life and, and feeling good about

157
00:08:04,681 --> 00:08:08,716
life and feeling more joyful, and just
in control and, and stepping into your

158
00:08:08,716 --> 00:08:12,916
power, knowing that you do have this
ability to create your reality, right?

159
00:08:12,916 --> 00:08:14,836
Like, I wanna make these
positive changes for you.

160
00:08:14,841 --> 00:08:19,546
Like my intention is to create a positive
impact with my voice, with my message.

161
00:08:20,866 --> 00:08:22,046
So, a quote.

162
00:08:22,046 --> 00:08:24,896
I came across last week or so,
scrolling, you know, through

163
00:08:24,896 --> 00:08:26,676
Facebook or Instagram, one of 'em.

164
00:08:26,681 --> 00:08:29,696
And this quote caught my eye one
because it was from Mark Wahlberg and

165
00:08:29,696 --> 00:08:31,076
I've always been a Mark Wahlberg fan.

166
00:08:31,126 --> 00:08:32,146
I think he's really cute.

167
00:08:32,146 --> 00:08:35,566
He might be short, but I think
he's, um, you know, he's my little

168
00:08:35,566 --> 00:08:37,096
Hollywood crush, I guess you could say.

169
00:08:37,096 --> 00:08:38,236
And he has been for a while.

170
00:08:38,236 --> 00:08:40,456
And um, he really does have great quotes.

171
00:08:40,456 --> 00:08:41,626
It's funny because when I was trying.

172
00:08:42,226 --> 00:08:44,986
Google and find the quote
I had seen on Facebook.

173
00:08:45,226 --> 00:08:47,416
Um, he has a lot of good quotes.

174
00:08:47,416 --> 00:08:51,136
Like there's a, there was like literally
hundreds of Mark Wahlberg quotes and um,

175
00:08:51,136 --> 00:08:54,316
I finally just googled like the words
I remember from reading and I found it.

176
00:08:54,346 --> 00:08:58,641
But his quote, is something
that I feel like I've actually

177
00:08:58,641 --> 00:09:02,121
touched on before in one of these
previous episodes on this podcast.

178
00:09:02,151 --> 00:09:03,501
Um, so let me just read this quote.

179
00:09:03,621 --> 00:09:04,521
So this is sort of Mark Wahlberg.

180
00:09:05,621 --> 00:09:08,376
. "God never gives you a dream
that matches your budget.

181
00:09:08,676 --> 00:09:10,326
He's not checking your bank account.

182
00:09:10,326 --> 00:09:11,976
He's checking your faith".

183
00:09:13,981 --> 00:09:17,346
. So that to me, when I, um, I spoke
about this, I can't remember which

184
00:09:17,346 --> 00:09:21,336
episode exactly, but talking about
how whatever dreams are placed in your

185
00:09:21,336 --> 00:09:25,326
heart, like whatever, you know, your
imagination or these, these dreams,

186
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:28,116
these visualizations you might have
about your future and what you want.

187
00:09:28,366 --> 00:09:31,036
whatever is in your heart, whatever
you were born with, like you, you

188
00:09:31,036 --> 00:09:32,266
were given that for a purpose.

189
00:09:32,266 --> 00:09:35,056
Like it means it's meant for
you, it means it's in your reach.

190
00:09:35,056 --> 00:09:35,386
Right?

191
00:09:35,606 --> 00:09:37,946
I want people to know that, that
there's not anything wrong with you.

192
00:09:37,946 --> 00:09:41,126
Like whatever is in your heart, whatever
those desires you have, whether it's

193
00:09:41,126 --> 00:09:44,366
your sexual preference or dreams
of doing something really big with

194
00:09:44,366 --> 00:09:47,996
your life, those dreams are in your
heart because they're there for you.

195
00:09:48,356 --> 00:09:53,146
And I love how Mark's quote talks about,
When, when he, when those dreams are

196
00:09:53,146 --> 00:09:56,746
placed upon your heart, like God's not
looking at your, your bank account, right?

197
00:09:56,746 --> 00:09:57,886
He's checking on your faith.

198
00:09:57,946 --> 00:09:59,836
And that's something I wanna address.

199
00:09:59,836 --> 00:10:04,336
And I think that's super important because
it's not so much what, how much money

200
00:10:04,336 --> 00:10:07,996
you have that makes your dreams come
true where, what your, um, achievements

201
00:10:08,001 --> 00:10:09,166
are, whatever, blah, blah, blah.

202
00:10:09,466 --> 00:10:12,136
What matters is your faith and your
belief in yourself that you can

203
00:10:12,136 --> 00:10:16,746
achieve it, that you acknowledge that
that dream inside you is possible.

204
00:10:16,811 --> 00:10:21,546
And, and that's a big message I would
like to help people realize is that

205
00:10:21,966 --> 00:10:25,566
whatever dream you have is possible
for you and it's already there.

206
00:10:25,806 --> 00:10:27,246
The dream is already realized.

207
00:10:27,396 --> 00:10:30,486
You just have to believe it and
then not let go of that belief.

208
00:10:30,486 --> 00:10:35,346
Like you stay strong in that faith
and then you watch the magic happen.

209
00:10:35,346 --> 00:10:38,381
It doesn't mean you're just like
dreaming stuff and it's just gonna fall

210
00:10:38,381 --> 00:10:39,791
out of the sky and fall into your lap.

211
00:10:40,061 --> 00:10:42,491
You do the work, but you have the
belief that it's coming, right?

212
00:10:42,491 --> 00:10:44,774
Because success does not come overnight.

213
00:10:44,774 --> 00:10:48,634
And um, this is bringing something
else up for me, in a recent

214
00:10:48,659 --> 00:10:49,709
discussion with my husband.

215
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:55,379
So my husband, I think I've mentioned
him a few times, um, but he has grown a

216
00:10:55,379 --> 00:10:59,369
business from when he was 19 years old,
and we were talking about, you know, a

217
00:10:59,374 --> 00:11:02,009
lot of the things that are going on right
now, he's, he's under a lot of stress.

218
00:11:02,009 --> 00:11:05,564
Like there's a lot of like, Things
happening like, a lot of fires going on

219
00:11:05,564 --> 00:11:08,384
right now and he's, you know, having to
put em out and it sounds really stressful.

220
00:11:08,384 --> 00:11:10,724
So I was like, oh my
gosh, like is it too big?

221
00:11:10,724 --> 00:11:11,504
Like, how are you feeling?

222
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,034
And he was like, no, like I love it.

223
00:11:13,034 --> 00:11:14,354
He's like, this means I'm growing.

224
00:11:14,564 --> 00:11:17,594
And he's like, this is why businesses
fail because they don't hang on.

225
00:11:17,594 --> 00:11:19,544
They don't keep fighting
when things get hard.

226
00:11:19,934 --> 00:11:24,434
And it just reminded me of how
God kind of test our faith, right?

227
00:11:24,434 --> 00:11:29,144
Like when we want something, we
are going to be tested to see

228
00:11:29,144 --> 00:11:31,569
if we really want it, right?

229
00:11:31,889 --> 00:11:35,729
And if we really want it, then we have
to like, push through and, and deal

230
00:11:35,729 --> 00:11:37,229
with some hard and uncomfortable things.

231
00:11:37,379 --> 00:11:38,819
Growing means changing.

232
00:11:39,089 --> 00:11:42,059
So in each level up, my husband wants
to have, in his business when he

233
00:11:42,059 --> 00:11:46,304
wants to keep growing his, you know,
yearly revenue, that kind of thing,

234
00:11:46,309 --> 00:11:49,574
that the more revenue he generates,
the more problems he's gonna have.

235
00:11:49,574 --> 00:11:49,874
Right?

236
00:11:50,024 --> 00:11:51,314
More money, more problems.

237
00:11:51,434 --> 00:11:52,934
That's just the way it goes, right?

238
00:11:53,148 --> 00:11:56,093
but he knows that he wants to keep
achieving and growing his business.

239
00:11:56,093 --> 00:12:00,303
He knows he wants to keep passing on the
success to his employees and watching

240
00:12:00,308 --> 00:12:03,773
them grow, and he wants to pour everything
in being a leader and helping them out.

241
00:12:03,893 --> 00:12:06,113
And in doing that, that means
he has to deal with some of

242
00:12:06,113 --> 00:12:07,523
these hard growing pains, right?

243
00:12:07,793 --> 00:12:08,453
Growing means.

244
00:12:08,453 --> 00:12:10,013
Changing and changing is hard.

245
00:12:10,343 --> 00:12:13,918
Um, I was actually listening to a book
that was echoing these same things

246
00:12:13,918 --> 00:12:17,608
about how, um, you know, like if
you're trying to manifest something for

247
00:12:17,608 --> 00:12:20,608
yourself, you are gonna be tested to
see if you're actually ready for the

248
00:12:21,078 --> 00:12:23,188
responsibilities that come with that.

249
00:12:23,843 --> 00:12:26,543
you know, that goal or whatever you're
trying to manifest for yourself, right?

250
00:12:26,903 --> 00:12:31,643
If it's, you know, the body that you wanna
like change, um, are you ready to take on

251
00:12:31,643 --> 00:12:33,263
the responsibilities to get to that body?

252
00:12:33,263 --> 00:12:33,653
Right?

253
00:12:33,893 --> 00:12:38,313
Um, if you are trying to, you
know, manifest like the

254
00:12:38,313 --> 00:12:39,033
the money thing, right?

255
00:12:39,033 --> 00:12:42,093
Like if you're trying to get more
financials, like are you willing to do the

256
00:12:42,093 --> 00:12:44,333
work that it takes to get to that level.

257
00:12:44,358 --> 00:12:44,778
Right

258
00:12:44,888 --> 00:12:49,738
.
So . It really comes down to having
this faith and, and not only this

259
00:12:49,738 --> 00:12:55,008
faith, but the ability to keep moving
forward and to do what you need to do,

260
00:12:55,338 --> 00:12:58,548
um, in order to see things through.

261
00:12:58,638 --> 00:12:59,148
Right.

262
00:12:59,448 --> 00:13:00,318
Um, and.

263
00:13:01,383 --> 00:13:05,163
. You know, circling back to like the
beginning of what I was talking about is

264
00:13:05,163 --> 00:13:10,293
having these intentions, is planning these
seed, like what are your desires and what

265
00:13:10,293 --> 00:13:13,233
are you wanting, to create for yourself?

266
00:13:13,233 --> 00:13:16,593
What are you wanting to plant
now that can grow later?

267
00:13:16,783 --> 00:13:23,383
And really stepping into those intentions,
writing them down, and then really having

268
00:13:23,388 --> 00:13:25,733
that faith that things are gonna come.

269
00:13:25,733 --> 00:13:30,738
Cuz this is the other problem is we, you
know, let's talk about real life planting.

270
00:13:30,738 --> 00:13:33,318
When you're planting seeds, like
when I do my garden and I'm planting

271
00:13:33,318 --> 00:13:36,468
the seeds in the little indoor
thing to sprout these seeds that

272
00:13:36,468 --> 00:13:37,698
I can later plant in the garden.

273
00:13:37,924 --> 00:13:41,254
. I'm not sitting there watching it
every day, like demanding it grow and

274
00:13:41,254 --> 00:13:42,664
like watching it, wanting it to grow.

275
00:13:42,664 --> 00:13:46,564
Like every night, like of course I
wanna see it grow, but I have to have

276
00:13:46,564 --> 00:13:49,594
faith that those seeds are gonna grow
and I have to let go and surrender

277
00:13:49,654 --> 00:13:51,604
and let divine timing take over.

278
00:13:51,604 --> 00:13:51,994
Right?

279
00:13:52,084 --> 00:13:54,874
And having that faith that
these seeds are gonna sprout,

280
00:13:54,874 --> 00:13:56,074
I just have to give them time.

281
00:13:56,074 --> 00:13:56,884
I have to water them.

282
00:13:56,884 --> 00:13:59,254
They have to be in that like environment.

283
00:13:59,254 --> 00:14:03,664
So like when I'm doing these indoor
seed things, I have like this heating

284
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,829
pad that this thing sits on, there's
like a dome, so it creates like this

285
00:14:07,239 --> 00:14:10,479
moisture and humid environment for
these seeds to germinate and sprout.

286
00:14:11,269 --> 00:14:15,229
Same thing with these intentions, with
your goals, like you're gonna state them

287
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:19,099
and you're gonna believe in them and
you're going to nurture them, right?

288
00:14:19,104 --> 00:14:22,119
And keep your faith strong and
keep seeing yourself from the end.

289
00:14:22,119 --> 00:14:23,589
Like keep seeing that success.

290
00:14:23,589 --> 00:14:27,819
But then you're also gonna let go and
surrender and let divine timing take

291
00:14:27,819 --> 00:14:30,609
over and, and trust and have that faith.

292
00:14:30,909 --> 00:14:35,381
Um, there was another thing that had
come up repeatedly for me, same friend

293
00:14:35,381 --> 00:14:36,671
that I'm actually gonna talk about later,

294
00:14:36,671 --> 00:14:40,801
her name is Stef you can
find her @steflaytonyoga um,

295
00:14:40,831 --> 00:14:42,691
that is her Instagram handle.

296
00:14:42,871 --> 00:14:46,556
Um, she's on YouTube and I'm gonna be
linking, her page because she, has

297
00:14:46,556 --> 00:14:52,301
some, awesome affirmations and some
awesome, yoga videos that I actually use.

298
00:14:52,301 --> 00:14:53,621
She helps me out a lot.

299
00:14:53,931 --> 00:14:57,301
I'm gonna be linking, her stuff
in this podcast description.

300
00:14:58,306 --> 00:15:02,056
She just out of the blue had
said, this reminded me of you.

301
00:15:02,056 --> 00:15:05,596
And it was, 'I don't chase, I
attract.' And I said, oh my gosh.

302
00:15:05,601 --> 00:15:08,226
I have a song on my, uh, mantra playlist.

303
00:15:08,226 --> 00:15:09,576
I've talked about this playlist before.

304
00:15:09,581 --> 00:15:11,886
I'll actually link that in
this podcast episode again too.

305
00:15:11,886 --> 00:15:15,756
But you can get my mantra playlist
that I listen to on Spotify or Apple.

306
00:15:15,906 --> 00:15:18,966
It's a playlist that I've created
that has a bunch of different like

307
00:15:19,426 --> 00:15:22,946
mantras and affirmations and songs,
and I just, I, it's a great playlist

308
00:15:22,946 --> 00:15:27,506
that really helps you know, raise my
vibe and get me in that, um, mindset

309
00:15:27,506 --> 00:15:29,066
of, you know, empowering myself.

310
00:15:29,066 --> 00:15:34,076
And so one of those songs, the title
is I Don't Chase, I Attract and I

311
00:15:34,106 --> 00:15:35,756
have the playlist usually on Shuffle.

312
00:15:35,936 --> 00:15:39,026
And that, that song had come up
and I was like, oh my gosh, this is

313
00:15:39,026 --> 00:15:43,081
definitely a sign to remind me, you
know, to stop forcing things like Right.

314
00:15:43,081 --> 00:15:44,641
I can't force a seed to grow.

315
00:15:44,641 --> 00:15:44,941
Right.

316
00:15:44,941 --> 00:15:48,811
I can't stare at it hard and
like force it to grow right this

317
00:15:48,811 --> 00:15:50,511
second and to sprout overnight.

318
00:15:50,631 --> 00:15:51,861
No, that's not how it works.

319
00:15:52,101 --> 00:15:54,671
I have to have faith that it's
gonna sprout when it's ready.

320
00:15:55,121 --> 00:16:00,071
I have to let go and surrender and
trust that things are gonna happen in

321
00:16:00,071 --> 00:16:01,511
the time that they're meant to happen.

322
00:16:01,781 --> 00:16:07,901
And it's having that faith that really
carries you through those hard times.

323
00:16:08,111 --> 00:16:14,291
Um, and so that's really big is just
really having that reflection to not

324
00:16:14,291 --> 00:16:19,736
force things to really let go and to,
have that confidence of I don't have

325
00:16:19,736 --> 00:16:21,326
to force anything to happen for me.

326
00:16:21,326 --> 00:16:22,496
I'm attracting it to me.

327
00:16:22,496 --> 00:16:26,076
It's already there for me and it's
coming to me in divine timing and

328
00:16:26,076 --> 00:16:30,726
really just having that belief and
that confidence that it's coming to me.

329
00:16:30,731 --> 00:16:34,176
That the seeds I'm planning, the
intentions I'm planning today are gonna

330
00:16:34,176 --> 00:16:36,486
be sprouting and then blooming, right?

331
00:16:36,486 --> 00:16:39,546
Like summer will be here when the,
the season of blooming is coming.

332
00:16:39,996 --> 00:16:46,436
So I would really love it, if you
guys would take some time and the

333
00:16:46,436 --> 00:16:48,236
spring equinox is, is here, right?

334
00:16:48,236 --> 00:16:52,286
We're coming to this new season and
just taking a moment and, , journaling

335
00:16:52,663 --> 00:16:55,573
and setting out these intentions
for this next season for your life.

336
00:16:55,843 --> 00:16:59,253
Um, and again, they can be in Any part of
your life that you, you would like, right?

337
00:16:59,253 --> 00:17:04,233
Like I I talked about relationships
or career, business goals, um,

338
00:17:04,263 --> 00:17:06,993
you know, health and wellness
goals, your spirituality goals.

339
00:17:06,993 --> 00:17:11,163
Like what are things that you wanna
intentionally, you know, put into practice

340
00:17:11,168 --> 00:17:14,103
for yourself, for your own self-growth,
your own self-development, your own

341
00:17:14,108 --> 00:17:17,663
spiritual growth, Just your own ways that
you would like to bloom into the most

342
00:17:17,693 --> 00:17:19,673
beautiful self that you can be right.

343
00:17:19,673 --> 00:17:24,383
Blooming into the, the highest possible
outcome for yourself, um, and how that

344
00:17:24,383 --> 00:17:26,033
affects everything else around you.

345
00:17:26,033 --> 00:17:29,433
When you're at your highest, most
beautiful self, like, it just, it's

346
00:17:29,433 --> 00:17:33,363
like a ripple effect to everybody that
you come into contact with, right?

347
00:17:33,363 --> 00:17:34,643
Like when you're in that state.

348
00:17:35,518 --> 00:17:37,858
, it helps other people around you.

349
00:17:37,888 --> 00:17:40,028
You know, it's like this vibration
that you give off that just

350
00:17:40,048 --> 00:17:41,698
helps raise everybody else up.

351
00:17:41,934 --> 00:17:45,744
So I wanna invite you, there is
a list of 10 affirmations that

352
00:17:45,744 --> 00:17:49,644
were specifically created for this
episode, for this spring mindset.

353
00:17:49,804 --> 00:17:51,664
Created by my friend Stef Layton.

354
00:17:51,884 --> 00:17:55,924
So I will link that, in
this podcast description.

355
00:17:56,074 --> 00:17:57,944
It's a blog post where you
can , download this pdf.

356
00:17:58,284 --> 00:18:00,944
Stef has actually made
it into a sheet of four.

357
00:18:00,944 --> 00:18:04,134
So that means you download it, you can
print it and you can cut it out, and

358
00:18:04,134 --> 00:18:06,294
it'll give you four affirmation sheets.

359
00:18:06,294 --> 00:18:10,284
That way you can hand it to, you know, a
mother, a friend, your daughter, you know,

360
00:18:10,724 --> 00:18:13,824
somebody that, it could impact cuz it's,
nice to have these little printouts.

361
00:18:13,829 --> 00:18:16,634
And I actually have a few that Stef
has created that I've gotten from

362
00:18:16,634 --> 00:18:18,314
her yoga classes and her newsletter.

363
00:18:18,594 --> 00:18:21,014
I keep them in my journals
and I say them in my head.

364
00:18:21,014 --> 00:18:24,879
I journal these affirmations and
there's just something about , you know,

365
00:18:24,909 --> 00:18:28,299
intentionally writing these things and
saying 'em in your head and reading

366
00:18:28,299 --> 00:18:31,639
them and writing them, it's putting
intention in the pen, in the paper.

367
00:18:31,889 --> 00:18:34,429
And there's just something
magical when you say these

368
00:18:34,434 --> 00:18:36,289
things and you know, our voice.

369
00:18:36,289 --> 00:18:38,059
It's, it's all magic.

370
00:18:38,059 --> 00:18:40,579
I like to say, like, writing
it, saying it, thinking it,

371
00:18:40,629 --> 00:18:42,459
it's all intention, right?

372
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:46,479
Um, everything we do is just so
intertwined and can really affect

373
00:18:47,129 --> 00:18:50,274
how things, um, unfold, right?

374
00:18:50,664 --> 00:18:53,364
So, that is it for this week.

375
00:18:53,444 --> 00:18:54,914
I will see you guys all next week.

376
00:18:54,914 --> 00:18:58,749
I've got, um, an interview podcast
coming, so that'll be fun.

377
00:18:58,949 --> 00:19:02,014
And I would love if you,
share with me in messenger.

378
00:19:02,899 --> 00:19:06,049
You know, in my dms or um, in an
email, however you want to, I would

379
00:19:06,049 --> 00:19:09,719
love to hear if you download the
affirmations that I have for you.

380
00:19:09,959 --> 00:19:13,529
And if you've set these
intentions for this spring season.

381
00:19:13,739 --> 00:19:15,569
So happy spring Equinox.

382
00:19:15,569 --> 00:19:19,994
Let's welcome in this new season of
things budding and starting to form.

383
00:19:19,994 --> 00:19:24,224
It's a beautiful season and we're
coming into, you know, the next, um,

384
00:19:24,254 --> 00:19:27,534
big summer equinox so that there'll
be something big we'll do, here in a

385
00:19:27,534 --> 00:19:28,794
couple months when we get to that point.

386
00:19:28,794 --> 00:19:31,464
But for now, let's just focus on
setting those intentions, planting

387
00:19:31,464 --> 00:19:33,664
those seeds, and keeping the faith.

388
00:19:33,724 --> 00:19:37,954
And then again, just, you know, letting
go, surrender, um, and watching things

389
00:19:37,954 --> 00:19:39,304
happen, you know, through faith.

390
00:19:39,354 --> 00:19:43,494
When things show up for you, it's
just amazing and we can keep that

391
00:19:43,494 --> 00:19:46,814
circle going by expressing our
gratitude and, thinking for the end.

392
00:19:46,814 --> 00:19:50,724
And, you know, I'll echo a little bit
once more from last week, but, actually

393
00:19:50,724 --> 00:19:53,719
having gratitude that it's already here,
like thank you, like expressing that

394
00:19:53,719 --> 00:19:55,759
gratitude for it already showing up.

395
00:19:56,029 --> 00:19:57,559
It just already puts things in motion.

396
00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:03,374
So stay with an open heart, grounded
in that faith, in gratitude,

397
00:20:03,434 --> 00:20:05,024
and I'll see you guys next week.

398
00:20:05,384 --> 00:20:05,924
Peace.
