01:40 Challenge: My brain doesn't always feel like everything's great.
02:03 Challenge: I always feel like I need to be doing more. Today I worked 6 hours, from 7 to 1, then I was annoyed with myself that I couldn't keep going.
02:40 Asking for strategies to battle the thoughts, to put guard rails around what I need.
02:52 Question: What have you done, workwise.
02:59 Separated living and working spaces. Two desks, one for planning, one for execution. Taking more naps. Cutting out caffeine.
03:50 I'm healthy. I'm not anxious about money. I'm in tune with my relationships.
04:36 I've achieved everything I wanted to achieve, why aren't I fully embracing it?
04:47 Question: What practices do you do to uncover what's in your subconscious mind?
05:19 Paraliminals. Incantations. Clear intentions for the day.
05:49 Being less hard on myself has been the biggest challenge.
05:59 Suggestion: It sounds like you're good at programming yourself, but you said you always contain what's in your mind, and you put things into it. I didn't hear anything about you looking at what's already there.
06:18 Yeah, I guess I just sit and notice as things come up. I don't know if I have a process where I sit in it.
06:29 Suggestion: You use the word push as though there's something wrong and it's not actually an opportunity or gift. It's a perspective shift.
06:43 Suggestion: Go into a room, turn off the lights, and embody the negativity. Just take a few hours one day. Go look at what's inside.
07:05 Suggestion: Pushing against the shadow doesn't work. We have to love the parts of ourselves that we want to reject - the insecure parts, the rejected parts.
07:28 Yeah, my ego lashes out.
07:37 Suggestion: Everything boils down to love and fear. Try to stop running from the fear and start loving the fear.
07:58 Business is not scary to me anymore. What's scary is being vulnerable and emotional. I do that, but in a measured way. The words I choose are important, the feedback is important.
Three Key Points:
- There's nothing to fix, just feelings to feel.
- Instead of trying to conquer fear, try loving your fear.
- Without trying to fix anything, take time to sit with your thoughts. Go look at what's inside.
