1 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,360 Hello and welcome to the Cosmic Nomad. 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,040 I'm your host, Bailey Rushlow, and this is a space for the 3 00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:12,920 curious and the heart LED where we explore the human experience 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,400 through travel, nature, spirituality and real life 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,800 transformation through beautiful conversations. 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,320 As I discover my way of living, what I call an inspired life, I 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,040 share the practices, stories, and perspectives that have 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,640 helped guide me back to myself. Hello everyone, welcome to 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,480 today's episode. I'm so glad you're here joining 10 00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:39,840 me for journey today. I'm coming at you live from 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,440 Bavaria, Germany, and I kind of love that. 12 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,280 All of the last episodes I've been coming from somewhere 13 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,720 recording this true cosmic nomad style. 14 00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:00,440 And in this episode, we're going to reimagine together the whole 15 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,319 idea of the Five Year Plan. We're not going to be focusing 16 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,640 on goals and checklists, but talking about the way we want to 17 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,400 feel and how this can become a compass for our lives. 18 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,640 So we're going to be sharing practical tools and practices 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,400 that help you dream your life in a way that is actually soul lead 20 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,520 and heart lead. And this is about moving beyond 21 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,240 performance and into creating a life that actually feels aligned 22 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,840 and one that feels like yours. So let's take a deep breath 23 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:52,880 together and end out ready. I feel like we don't do that 24 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640 enough in life. If you need another one, please 25 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,160 do that now. Come back to your breath 26 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,960 throughout the episode and throughout your day. 27 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,760 Honestly, that I, I spend a lot of my day reminding myself to 28 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,920 deep breathe because I get stuck in my head. 29 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,440 I get stuck in the moment of what's happening. 30 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,640 And you know, the breath is often the first thing out the 31 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:18,680 window when really it is it is something that is so important 32 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,440 and so grounding to our body and to our our mind, our heart, our 33 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,880 thoughts, all of our systems, our cardiovascular system, our 34 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,480 nervous system, our circulatory system, our digestive system, 35 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,640 all the things connect through our breath. 36 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,000 So just a little reminder there. I've also thought about doing an 37 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,240 episode on breath work, maybe even guiding us through some 38 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,280 practices that have supported me. 39 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,360 I'm not a breath work practitioner, but it is 40 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,000 something that has really greatly helped my life. 41 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,240 So maybe in the future anyway, please make yourself cozy and at 42 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,960 home, whether that is going out and walking your dog or having a 43 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,280 smoke break or making a smoothie or doing some stretching on the 44 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,320 floor while we dive into this topic. 45 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,640 That makes me feel so alive and I hope that it does the same for 46 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,440 you. I think I said this in the last 47 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:26,760 episode, but I record these episodes for all of you to, to 48 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:33,800 learn, to grow, to to evolve by me sharing my own life 49 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,360 adventures and journeys and experiences. 50 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,640 But even more than that, and selfishly, I record them for 51 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:47,280 myself because not only is it great practice for me to put 52 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,520 into words what I feel and what I've been, you know, gone 53 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,400 through in life, things I've learned that have helped make 54 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,360 this crazy journey a little bit easier. 55 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,600 But also that I can listen back through my life as like a 56 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:10,360 timestamp of where I've been and hopefully as a, a form of road 57 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:17,360 map to where I'm going. So that said, talking about 58 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,000 plans and, and the future, you know, usually when we talk about 59 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,840 these things, it's, it's about the doing right. 60 00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:27,800 How many times have you been asked what is your five year 61 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,040 plan? Where do you see yourself going? 62 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,680 What are you hoping to achieve? What's your what are your 10 63 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,160 year goals? You know, like it's, it's all 64 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,680 about doing, it's all about the, the house, the job, the 65 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:45,440 milestones. But the truth is so much of, of 66 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,880 our reality is not what we do. It's not based or created by 67 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,800 what we do, but how we feel and by what we believe. 68 00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:04,560 And what we feel is vibrational. It is like a signal that we are 69 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,560 sending out from our mind to the world. 70 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,360 And when we become aware of our inner dialogue, like the the 71 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,400 thoughts that we have about ourself, about the world around 72 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,640 us, about the people in our life, about the things we do, we 73 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:29,600 can start to see how those shape the bigger dream that we live. 74 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,280 If you've ever read the four agreements or anything by Don 75 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:39,200 Miguel Ruiz, you have learned about Toltec wisdom. 76 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,920 And Toltec wisdom is, is such a beautiful way of life. 77 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:53,680 And basically they teach that our life is a dream that we have 78 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,840 agreed to, and it's made-up of tiny agreements and beliefs that 79 00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:04,400 we've inherited or chosen. And maybe we've agreed, for 80 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,360 example, that success looks a certain way, or rest has to be 81 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:20,520 earned, or love is conditional. And usually we inherit these at 82 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200 a very young age. Or we come into agreement with 83 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,800 them early on, and we make an agreement with something that 84 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,680 becomes a belief that informs our reality. 85 00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:34,160 So someone who believes that rest has to be earned is going 86 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,920 to see and interact with the world very differently than 87 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:42,040 someone who doesn't have that belief or hasn't made that 88 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,520 agreement. And so that means that every one 89 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,560 of us is seeing the world through a different set of 90 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,440 lenses because the agreements we make, the beliefs that we 91 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,160 believe, they inform our reality. 92 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,400 And when we don't ever question what we believe or why we 93 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:06,840 believe, we start to live a lot of life from the subconscious 94 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:10,760 and in autopilot. And I've talked about this in 95 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,200 previous episodes, episode 5 and eight, I think, where deep dives 96 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,160 into these topics. But what happens when we start 97 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,720 to question, why do I believe what I believe? 98 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,960 We gain an awareness and we start to to realize, wait a 99 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,040 second, maybe I don't actually want to dream that dream. 100 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,720 When we notice the small agreements that we've made, we 101 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,640 can choose new ones. When we are unaware of the 102 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,800 agreements, we cannot choose new ones, right? 103 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,400 It seems very simple, but I and it and it is, but it's also very 104 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,640 complex because a lot of our beliefs and agreements we've 105 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:01,800 made in our subconscious are tied to all of our security and 106 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,600 stability in how we interact with the world. 107 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,040 Like it's very brave to go deeper and say, you know what? 108 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,360 I'm going to gather my tools. I'm going to, I'm going to 109 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,240 become an archaeologist in myself, in my mind, in my 110 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,320 subconscious, in my worldview and why I believe what I believe 111 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,920 because it is informing everything. 112 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,600 And until I do that, I'm probably living someone else's 113 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:35,280 dream or a number of other belief systems that have been 114 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:41,320 passed down to me or that I have absorbed through school or 115 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,800 church or work or trauma, etcetera. 116 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,080 Right. The Toltec way of life also 117 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,520 teaches us that the belief system is almost like a parasite 118 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:58,960 to the soul because it controls the way we think, move, breathe, 119 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,560 and act in the world, as opposed to it being our autonomous 120 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:06,120 choice. It's controlled by the parasite, 121 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,560 which is the belief system. Which is fascinating, right? 122 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,240 It's like, holy shit, it all starts making sense. 123 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:21,200 So how do we recognize and remember that we are the 124 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,560 dreamer? That we are in charge of the 125 00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:30,280 dream that we are creating and constructing as our life and in 126 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:37,480 this in this reality. So how do we become the dreamer? 127 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:44,080 If our agreements are what shaped the bigger dream of our 128 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,280 lives, then becoming aware of them means that we get to step 129 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,200 into the role of the architect, right? 130 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,200 And instead of just living in the house someone else designed 131 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,320 for us and someone else's beliefs, we've realized that we 132 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,520 get to pick up the blueprint and the paintbrush and the hammer. 133 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,680 We talked about that a few episodes ago with not renting 134 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,400 your life, right? Living in in a proverbial home 135 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,160 of your life that you own, not just one that you rent that 136 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,680 you're barely living in, but one that you're fully embodied in. 137 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,160 But here's the thing, you know, the awareness of it alone isn't 138 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,440 enough. You can be aware of it all day. 139 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:30,000 But how do we begin to dream differently? 140 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:37,040 How do we begin to redraw the lines of the story that we're 141 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,760 living in and not just metaphorically or conceptually, 142 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,120 but in our everyday lives and our bodies in in an embodied 143 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,120 way? And this is where I think it 144 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,320 gets fun because there are some really great practices that we 145 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,160 can implement here. And it's not about fixing 146 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,400 ourselves or, or trying to follow the steps to make our 147 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,560 lives better. It's, it is about retraining our 148 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:16,800 system internally to not only recognize but embody the new 149 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,280 dream. And it's, it's a way of bringing 150 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,560 the invisible concepts into physical form and into radical 151 00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:32,840 change. And it's, it's like moving from 152 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,360 thinking about change to actually living it. 153 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,520 So although a question like where do you see yourself in 154 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,160 five years is not inherently bad, it's it's great to 155 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,800 brainstorm and think ahead and have dreams. 156 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,760 But I think an even better question is how do you want to 157 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:02,320 feel in five years? How do you want your life to 158 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,880 look? If you could glimpse like 159 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:13,360 peering through a portal mirror into the life that you could be 160 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,120 living in five years from now, what would it smell like? 161 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,920 What would it taste like? What would it feel like? 162 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,600 What would the breeze feel like on your skin? 163 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,560 What would the clothes feel like that you're wearing? 164 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,800 What would you be cooking? What would you be eating? 165 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,520 What would your day look like? What would your rituals be? 166 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,760 Who would that person interact with? 167 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,640 What would that version of you think about? 168 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,040 What kind of music would they vibe out to in the car? 169 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,840 What kind of conversations would they have? 170 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,440 What places would they have travelled? 171 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,160 What kind of art would you have on your walls? 172 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,600 How would you spend your free time? 173 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:59,440 All of these questions invoke a feeling internally and I'm not 174 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,280 expecting anything from you. By the way, there is no 175 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,480 expectation for you to create some perfect idealized dream 176 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:14,400 life that's not real and that I will be proud of you because you 177 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,160 created the best version of all the people listening. 178 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,920 Like that's not, that's not the point. 179 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,800 The point of this exercise in these questions is to get you 180 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,160 dreaming a new dream. It's not about me. 181 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,720 I don't care what you choose. It's about you. 182 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:35,840 What do you want to feel? Because, and here is why this 183 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,160 reframe is so important. How often have you thought when 184 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:46,480 I get blank, fill in the blank $10,000 in my bank account, for 185 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,960 example, I'm going to feel this way. 186 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,080 When I get that promotion in my job, it's going to be so good. 187 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:58,120 I'm going to feel this way. Blank successful like I've 188 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,920 achieved something. When I lose 50 lbs, I'm going to 189 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,840 be XY and Z. The goals are not bad. 190 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,440 They're they're nice. They're they're it's great to 191 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,880 achieve things. I'll never tell you that that's 192 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,240 bad for you. However we have it backward. 193 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,400 When I do this thing, then I'm going to feel this way. 194 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,440 We got to flip the script. How do I want to feel? 195 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:38,280 And then what are the things that I need to do to get there? 196 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,440 That's how we flip the script because it's vibrational. 197 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:50,560 What you feel ripples out from you and creates the reality you 198 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,200 want to live. And I mean, how many times have 199 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,760 you said or heard people say, you know, I did all the right 200 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,880 things. I, I climbed the corporate 201 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:04,000 mountain, I got the wife, the kids, the family, whatever. 202 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,520 And then I got to the top of that pinnacle and I was there 203 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,120 alone. And that was it. 204 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,600 I had done everything I desired to do and I felt kind of empty. 205 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:24,600 So that's where these super fun practices come in because I 206 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,560 don't know if you know this, but humans are manifesters by 207 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,200 nature. Every single thought, every 208 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:38,520 emotion that we hold in our bodies is creating a vibration. 209 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,720 Vibration is what shapes our reality. 210 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,680 And we live in a world that wants us to forget that. 211 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,400 You know, we're told that we're just like another cog in the 212 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:56,040 machine or part of this endless rat race of humans just going 213 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,200 about life, doing our things will soon be forgotten. 214 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:05,360 We suppress our individuality and we downplay the power of our 215 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,760 choices. And honestly, I don't think it's 216 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,000 by accident that we've been taught to do that. 217 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:16,280 The larger systems at play, like capitalism, the patriarchy, 218 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,680 colonization, colonial thinking, they thrive when we forget how 219 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:28,440 much creative power we hold. So when I step back and I say, 220 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,520 wait, I am the dreamer. I am the one shaping this 221 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,400 reality. Oh, I got chills. 222 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,480 Suddenly the game changes. The script flips, right? 223 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,600 And if that sounds a little too woo, I just want you to remember 224 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:53,440 what Nikola Tesla said. Quote, if you want to understand 225 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,080 the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration, 226 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,080 UN quote. Everything around us is 227 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,960 vibrating. Sound waves, light waves, the 228 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,880 resonance of the earth itself. And our bodies are not 229 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,359 different. Our heartbeats, our brain waves, 230 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,400 even the way that our cells communicate. 231 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,400 It's electronic, it's frequential, and when we shift 232 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,599 the vibration inside of us, we're not just playing with 233 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:30,240 positive thinking, like we are literally tuning the instrument 234 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,000 of our lives to a different frequency. 235 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:39,080 That's why gratitude feels different in your body than 236 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:44,280 heartbreak. That's why excitement seems to 237 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:50,680 magnetize new opportunities while fear contracts. 238 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,120 And the problem is, most of us have been taught to forget that 239 00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:59,920 power because the systems that we live in thrive on us 240 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:03,160 believing that we are just part of the rat race. 241 00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:08,040 We just have to keep hustling, keep consuming, keep looking 242 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,120 outside of ourselves for answers. 243 00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:16,080 But when you remember that you are the dreamer, you are the 244 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,720 gamekeeper, and the practices that I want to share, they're 245 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,760 not just rituals, they're not just positive thinking. 246 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,360 They are ways of training your nervous system and your energy 247 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:38,880 field to broadcast the frequency of life that you want and also 248 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:45,520 to train your nervous system how to hold the frequency of what 249 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,960 you want to live and to experience. 250 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,440 Because if the body doesn't know how it wants to feel or how 251 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,400 what's possible to feel it it, it's gonna have a very difficult 252 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,400 time just making it up and going with it. 253 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,760 Like you have to actually lay out a blueprint. 254 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,920 So these tools are blueprint tools. 255 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:14,440 And the first one is journaling. You might say straight away, 256 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,720 Bailey, I'm just not a journaling person. 257 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:24,320 And that's OK, that's OK. But I want to encourage you to 258 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,160 try something different because it's not just about writing your 259 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,160 thoughts down, it's about creating a mirror for the 260 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,320 subconscious. Because when you put words on 261 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:44,480 paper, you begin to notice the stories that you are 262 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,240 unconsciously repeating. Journaling. 263 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:56,920 For me, it's like it it it lets me ask myself, is this the 264 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,920 agreement I want to keep making? It shifts from me reacting 265 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,800 inside the dream to observing it. 266 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,400 And then? Making the necessary edits to 267 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,680 move forward with the script that feels aligned. 268 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:23,360 So when I journal, I don't write what I think I will want to read 269 00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:27,880 from myself in the future. I don't write in a in a perfect 270 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:33,760 way editing myself and and no, I write exactly how I feel. 271 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:41,000 I cuss, I scribble, I draw doodles, I paste flowers and 272 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,320 four leaf clovers and feathers and little moments of 273 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,360 synchronicity in there to remind myself the magic that exists all 274 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:52,360 around me. It's where I go to write about 275 00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:59,320 what I believe, about myself, about love, about money, about 276 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,200 rest, about work, about travel. And when I when I read back 277 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:11,960 through them, I ask myself, do these beliefs feel expansive or 278 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,680 constricting? You might be brand new to 279 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,120 journaling. You might have been journaling 280 00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:20,320 forever. Regardless, I would love for you 281 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,640 to start a new journaling practice if you're really 282 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,280 serious about wanting to do this, Set the scene, light a 283 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,120 candle, make teas. It's a more quiet create an 284 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:35,760 environment that signals to your nervous system that something 285 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:41,040 intentional is happening. And I love to write down things 286 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,360 I'm grateful for. Sometimes my journals are just 287 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:47,560 gratitude lists of things I'm grateful for. 288 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,280 Big, small, tangible, whatever. Like I've slept well. 289 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:55,720 My favorite song came on the radio and the coffee shop, 290 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,280 right? It can be something small, but 291 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:03,400 just this shifts your vibration into receptiveness. 292 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:10,200 Receiving mode and ask yourself, how do I want to feel in five 293 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,640 years, or next year, or next month? 294 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,240 There is no time limit on this, but pick something that feels 295 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,800 aligned. For example, I'm going to be 30 296 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,880 in January. I've been doing a lot of 297 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,520 thinking about my 30th year, my 30th birthday, the way that I 298 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,760 want to feel, not only the things I want to do. 299 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,520 Well, yes, there are things I want to do in my 30th year, but 300 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,760 mostly I've been focusing on the vibration of what I want to 301 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,480 feel. So questions I might ask myself 302 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,120 are, what is the most aligned version of me do on a normal 303 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,520 day? What does her day look like? 304 00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:00,840 She wakes up and then what? Another question might be, if 305 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,080 nothing was holding me back, what would I create? 306 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,360 And then just write without editing yourself. 307 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:18,360 No editing, it's not allowed. Give yourself 5/10/15 an hour, 308 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:22,920 however, however long you need. No censoring, no worrying if it 309 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,720 makes sense or not. This act of just writing free 310 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:34,440 flow let's your body feel what's possible and it clears the 311 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,400 clutter from your subconscious. And that's it. 312 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,000 That's your practice. It's one of them anyway. 313 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,880 And then close it out with reading it back out loud, 314 00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:49,480 letting yourself feel it in your chest and your breath. 315 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,240 Feel what is beginning to vibrate in you and in your soul. 316 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,560 Because a lot of times when I've done this, I end up in tears. 317 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,440 I end up laughing, I end up getting chills. 318 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,440 There's a visceral response in my body, which means I have 319 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:11,600 shifted something, something else that I love to do. 320 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,200 And I don't do this enough. And I really need to because it 321 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,160 works. And I this one is, is really fun 322 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:27,440 too, especially if you love physical projects because making 323 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:33,560 a vision board or an embodiment board, a digital physical can be 324 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,440 through Pinterest can be setting an intentional space, lighting a 325 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,240 candle, making tea again, crew, setting the intention that 326 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,840 something big is happening right now and we're feeling into it. 327 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,040 Phone on do not Disturb, we're tapping in, we're going on 328 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,560 Pinterest. We're going to create a vision 329 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,480 board or a mood board of the things we want to feel. 330 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,160 What do you What colours do you want your life to look like? 331 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,320 What do you want your bedroom to feel like in the morning when 332 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,120 you wake up? What do you want? 333 00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:04,360 Your breakfast through your meals to the instead of just 334 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,560 throwing food on a plate or in the microwave, what if you used 335 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,040 your nice China, the kind that is in the cabinet you only use 336 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,800 for guests? What if you used it for 337 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,040 yourself? What if you burned the good 338 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,200 candles? What if you created that 339 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,280 sanctuary in the corner of your house? 340 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,000 It's just for you, it's just yours. 341 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,000 So you can do this by collecting photos, videos, etcetera, 342 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,040 putting them all into a Pinterest board like a mood 343 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,240 board or with a Canva. You can also print it out and 344 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,440 put it on your wall. Like if you're more comfortable 345 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,280 doing digital arts, make it fun, make it creative, put words on 346 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,040 there that inspire you, the version of yourself that you 347 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,960 want to be. Who is she, Who is he, Who are 348 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,400 they? Or you can make a physical 349 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,120 vision board, but which I think is very fun, gathering materials 350 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:04,040 like old magazines, scissors, glue, poster board. 351 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,240 Maybe it's a color palette, maybe it's a forest or a dinner 352 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,560 table with friends, a passport, a mountain range, somewhere you 353 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,200 want to go, a place you want to make memories, something that 354 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,880 sparks or ignites something in you. 355 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,880 And what's interesting is from my from my own personal 356 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:37,440 experiences, when I have done this, 9 times out of 10, I have 357 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:44,280 either seen physically or felt physically or experienced 358 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,640 physically the things that I put on that board. 359 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:56,120 For example, I remember having this photo of palm trees and a 360 00:26:56,120 --> 00:27:03,400 beautiful sunset on my board. And there was a point in the 361 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,240 year where I found myself looking out at a scene in real 362 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,400 life, sitting on a beach that looked just like the one on my 363 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,440 vision board. Because I planted the feeling of 364 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,880 that vibration on my board through art a year ahead, a year 365 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,640 before I was actually there physically. 366 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,280 It was like planting the seed for my subconscious that that 367 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,120 was possible for me. And when I felt it and when I 368 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:38,040 saw in real life and I went, man, this feels familiar 369 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,240 somehow. And I remembered my board and I 370 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,160 started tearing up and I thought, Oh my God, I made this 371 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,600 happen. I created this environment for 372 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,400 myself. Happened again with the 373 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,440 journaling element, where I was literally sitting on the beach 374 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:03,800 in Mexico, writing to myself on my phone, Free flow, everything 375 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:10,080 that I wanted to feel in my future partner, not just what 376 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,880 they looked like or what they did with their life, although 377 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,440 those things are important. How did I feel around them? 378 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,920 How did they make me feel? How did we interact with each 379 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,760 other? How did they think? 380 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,680 What did they see in the world and in me? 381 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,760 How were we compatible and what ways do we communicate? 382 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:43,640 Literally within a few weeks of that night, I met the person 383 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,400 that has been my partner for five years this year. 384 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,880 And of course, it's not only because I wrote down what I 385 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,600 wanted to feel, but I like to think that that actually did 386 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,520 play a big part in it because I recognized it as soon as it was 387 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,680 in front of me. Because I had already expressed 388 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:13,760 the vision from my heart out there into the world in the form 389 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,160 of my writing. And no one else read it. 390 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,240 No one else saw it. It was just for me personally. 391 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:23,800 But I feel like it became like an energetic blueprint, like I 392 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:31,800 drew the outline of a colouring page and the universe filled in 393 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,680 the colours with time. And that was an incredible 394 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,040 feeling. And you know, I'm not just 395 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,240 telling you this so that you will have one more thing to do 396 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:49,280 and add to the to the list of self help and Wellness stuff you 397 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,040 have to do in life to be whatever. 398 00:29:52,040 --> 00:30:01,200 No, this is simply a hack that has worked for me that I would 399 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,680 feel silly gatekeeping because I've seen first hand how 400 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:11,400 powerful it is. So when you've created your 401 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:19,520 collage of vision board of, of things that you feel inspired by 402 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:26,240 and feel connected to, make sure as well that you that you choose 403 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,600 without overthinking, like let your body lead. 404 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,120 If something sparks joy, curiosity, excitement, save it, 405 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,760 cut it out, paste it, you know, add it to the to the pages 406 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,280 because it's, it's your body giving you information about 407 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:48,960 something and put the, the image or whatever you end up creating 408 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,840 somewhere that you'll see. It could be the background on 409 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,720 your on your phone screen, right? 410 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,080 It could be a, a folder that you open every day on your laptop. 411 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,000 It could be something on your wall, could be a collage that 412 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,360 you see when you're brushing your teeth in the morning in the 413 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,320 bathroom. You know that you, that you look 414 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,640 at and you observe and you remind your body of that 415 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,840 vibration. You can't just make it and, and 416 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,680 forget about it. I mean, you can, but that kind 417 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,520 of defeats the purpose, you know, because we want to 418 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:23,240 interact with it, spend 30 seconds a day and, and feel into 419 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,320 it. Imagine being there in that. 420 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,160 That's the vibrational piece that turns this from a nice 421 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,000 collage that you made once into a manifestation tool. 422 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,760 All right, let's move on from these two into a few others that 423 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,600 I think are so important before we wrap up this episode. 424 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,360 So the first one I call future self embodiment. 425 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,400 Instead of waiting for the vision of your future self and 426 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,600 the person you want to be someday air quotes someday to 427 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:10,120 arrive, we step into it now. How does your future self 428 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,000 breathe? How does she wake up? 429 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,640 How does he order tea? How does he go on dates? 430 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:23,560 How like walk the way that they would walk, dress the way that 431 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,920 they would dress. Because when you practice being 432 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:34,520 that person now, your nervous system literally codes it as 433 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,000 being familiar, and the more familiar it feels that, the 434 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,360 faster it becomes your baseline reality. 435 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,560 What do they eat? How do they move? 436 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,080 How do they interact with the world? 437 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,440 Do they take everything personal, this version of you 438 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,480 that you're trying to become? Do they make assumptions about 439 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,080 life? Do they gossip about everyone 440 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,920 behind people's backs? Do they do random acts of 441 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,640 kindness for strangers just because? 442 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,560 The next one that I have been doing for many years is having 443 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,840 an altar in my home. This altar is not only to the 444 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:23,200 elements, to my travels. I have jars of sand from Egypt, 445 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:29,600 relics from powerful places that I've visited, water from sacred 446 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,800 springs from around the world, feathers that have been gifted 447 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,520 to me by beautiful birds on my journeys. 448 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,360 But also, they're not just about objects. 449 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,840 They are like living maps. Each item is a code. 450 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,960 Each item is a symbol. Recently, my partner and I went 451 00:33:53,960 --> 00:34:01,200 to visit Philip's grandfather. He's 98 years old and on the 452 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:07,360 table next to his bed, he has all of his favorite things, a 453 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:14,080 model car that he used to drive, his favorite snacks, photos of 454 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,000 his loved ones. And we were sitting there with 455 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,840 him, listening to him, Cher, about his life. 456 00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:24,360 And I realised this is his altar. 457 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:34,080 It's a living space, A frequency that pulls a a vision into form, 458 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,920 like an anchor. And maybe your altar has 459 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,239 crystals and and nature and wildlife and Oracle cards. 460 00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:49,360 Maybe it has items or totems of the version and the vision of 461 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,920 yourself that you're becoming. Or maybe it's a combination of 462 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,520 all of them. But it's not just about some 463 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:04,960 objects, you know, it really is like a a map and an anchor for 464 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,760 the vision and the version of yourself that you're becoming. 465 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,240 We can also do work with archetypes. 466 00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:20,040 You know, sometimes we can't believe in ourselves yet for 467 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,400 many different reasons. For all of us, it can be 468 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:29,560 different, but we can believe in a story, we can step into an 469 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,800 archetype. Maybe you're a queen, a healer, 470 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,640 an explorer, a magician, A trickster. 471 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,360 Live as this person for the day, for the week. 472 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:48,120 Because when you embody A myth, your brain doesn't know that 473 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,560 it's pretend. So it literally builds new 474 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:56,080 pathways and suddenly you are no longer just playing pretend. 475 00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,920 You are that person, you are that archetype. 476 00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:09,280 What archetype calls to you, which archetype inspires future 477 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:14,280 thinking and inspires creativity, inspires joy in you? 478 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:22,000 Something also that you can do is tie your vision to your 479 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,760 senses. So we have so many incredible 480 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,720 senses and humans are so sensory, and we forget that this 481 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:34,880 can be a really powerful tool as a manifester of our future and 482 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,880 of our own reality, as a dreamer and creator of what this life 483 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,680 is, what you touch, what you see, what you hear, what you 484 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,560 smell, what you taste. How can we incorporate those 485 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,720 into today? I remember when my partner told 486 00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:55,560 me when he went skydiving that they told him to bring Cologne 487 00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:01,080 with him, a specific fragrance that meant something to him that 488 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,640 he smelled as soon as he landed on the ground. 489 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,800 So he's, he landed on the ground after, after jumping out of a 490 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,800 plane, you know, and smelled that fragrance. 491 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:15,760 And the the trick is that every time you're smell that smell in 492 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,440 the future, it reminds your brain of that feeling of 493 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,080 limitless freedom that you felt after skydiving. 494 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:35,240 And it's a way of future coding the moment by remembering the 495 00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:37,520 incredible experience from the past. 496 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,640 So maybe when you write, you light a certain candle. 497 00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:50,800 Maybe when you visualize the healing of your body, you hold a 498 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,960 certain herb with you. Maybe you smell Rosemary or sage 499 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,040 or something that you keep with you that that smell and that 500 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,440 scent and that sensory experience triggers the vision 501 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,640 into your reality. Maybe you are imagining your new 502 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,840 home, the place that you want to call in to be your anchor. 503 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:19,760 Maybe you sip a certain type of tea or a cacao while you do that 504 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,600 because every time you encounter that scent or touch or taste in 505 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:31,000 your daily life, it kind of collapses the distance between 506 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:37,920 now and the future. And it's a, you know, some 507 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,120 people might hear this and go, yo, that is so out there. 508 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:52,360 But it is actually like studied in neuroscience that when we set 509 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,960 these intentions and we find ways to embody them in the now, 510 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:05,920 it creates a kind of liminal space between right now and what 511 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,320 we're visioning that might feel far away, but it doesn't have to 512 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,560 be. And in fact, it can be a lot 513 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,760 more. And I don't know, time feels 514 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,560 kind of like an illusion sometimes. 515 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,080 So I, I think we can definitely play with it because there are 516 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,680 times in life, I'm sure you felt this as well, where time feels 517 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,280 very, very slow and others where time feels wicked fast. 518 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,360 And a lot of that is because of how you felt during the time 519 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,200 when you are waiting for news from someone in the hospital. 520 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:48,200 Time feels forever long. Even an hour can feel like a 521 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,360 day. But maybe you're on an 522 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,560 incredible first date with someone and you haven't felt 523 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,000 this way in a long time, and it's sparking something inside 524 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,840 you that you didn't know you could feel again. 525 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,320 And all of a sudden, a date. That was supposed to be two 526 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,640 hours suddenly turned into 12, and you have no idea how it 527 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,880 happened because time just speed by so fast, right? 528 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,320 Time moves differently based on how we're interacting with it. 529 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,480 So your dream and your vision of how you want to feel and the 530 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,320 person you want to be doesn't really have to be that far away. 531 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:29,440 A few more things, final things, rituals. 532 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,200 There are a lot of natural gateways, if you will, 533 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,440 throughout time. Sunrise, birthdays, full moons, 534 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,040 new moons, the 1st of the month, the first day you start your 535 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,320 bleed. Anniversaries, right? 536 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:53,200 They are perfect times to pause and set an intention at these 537 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,400 thresholds. They're like cracks in time 538 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,880 where your vision can slip deeper into the field that 539 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,840 you're creating. Also, before you sleep, plant a 540 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,080 question. Ask your subconscious. 541 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,680 Show me what I need to see tonight. 542 00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:19,840 Maybe you drink mugwort tea or blue Lotus or chamomile, or sit 543 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,600 with a plant that calls to you for 30 days. 544 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:29,360 Write your dreams out on paper in the morning because dreamtime 545 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:34,960 is the ultimate playground for the subconscious and where we 546 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,440 can try out so many different realities without resistance. 547 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:47,560 Sometimes the ritual is simply to disrupt the script. 548 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:53,680 Maybe that looks like driving a different Rd. home or striking 549 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,520 up a conversation with a stranger. 550 00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:02,440 Do the thing that makes no quote logical sense, but it makes you 551 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,880 feel alive. Because every time you break the 552 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,720 pattern, you tell your brain that we are not stuck, we are 553 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:13,080 not in a loop, we are not on autopilot, we are infinite. 554 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,560 We can do whatever we want. We are the dreamers, we are the 555 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,000 creators of this reality. Like sometimes I'm walking home 556 00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:25,480 and I am in complete autopilot, making the same turn I always 557 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,080 make, smiling at the same people doing the same thing. 558 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,560 And there's a place in time for that. 559 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,480 But if I really want to fuck up the Matrix a little bit, I'm 560 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,640 going to be like, I'm taking a right here when normally I take 561 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,400 a left and all of a sudden I'm on a new timeline, right? 562 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,520 What if I go to the shop and instead of ordering a decaf 563 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,560 cappuccino like I always do, I get a London Fog, right? 564 00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:53,680 It's so simple and it's so subtle. 565 00:42:53,960 --> 00:43:00,040 But the changing of the timelines often relies on those 566 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:06,120 really subtle changes that eventually create ultimate and 567 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,840 lasting change. That might sound really silly, 568 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,320 but give it a try and see what happens. 569 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,000 Because a lot of the time, following your intuition and 570 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,320 getting out of autopilot by breaking the mold of what you're 571 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:25,680 typically always do leads to really incredible magic and 572 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,640 gratitude. Gratitude is the fastest 573 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:36,840 wormhole to a new timeline because when you feel it deeply, 574 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,320 your nervous system releases chemicals of safety and joy, 575 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:48,240 literally. And from that state, life starts 576 00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:52,760 to kind of reorganize around you in a new way. 577 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:59,440 I had a experience last week like this where I was going into 578 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,800 town and just kind of going on what I call a wander, which is 579 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,920 where I don't have an intention specifically for what I want to 580 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,400 do. I'm not like, oh, I have to go 581 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,280 here, here, here and here. I'm just like, I'm just going to 582 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:16,600 go and see how the day unfolds. I'm going to start by getting 583 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,120 up, getting dressed, eating and getting on a bus and seeing 584 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,000 where it takes me. So I've got on the bus to go 585 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,320 into town, ended up getting on the wrong bus. 586 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,640 And I'm not that there is a wrong bus, but not the bus I had 587 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,160 intended to get on. And I ended up meeting this 588 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,240 woman who looked like she was really just having a rough day. 589 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,520 And her and her daughter, they had this huge suitcase and I 590 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,760 could tell they were in a hurry. It was looked really heavy. 591 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,360 And I said, can I help you with your case? 592 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,480 She was like please, that would be so helpful. 593 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,520 We are really late for our flights. 594 00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:54,160 I overslept. I'm super flustered. 595 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,120 I'm in a hurry. And I was like, well, I actually 596 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,760 have nothing going on right now. I'd be happy to carry it to the 597 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,400 station for you. Like, before I could even think 598 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,440 what I was saying, these words were coming out of my mouth. 599 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,920 And she just looked at me and was like, oh, my God, for real. 600 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,560 Like, yeah, yeah, for sure. It's no problem. 601 00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:15,600 So I carried her case to the train station just, you know, I 602 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,640 don't know, a few blocks away from where we got off on the 603 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,200 bus. And she was like, man, I just, I 604 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,800 wish we had had a chance to eat. We didn't get to eat anything 605 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,720 today and I said, Oh well, you're in luck because I always 606 00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:30,800 have snacks. So I pull out of my bag a couple 607 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,720 granola bars, some apples. I'm like, here you go guys, 608 00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:35,520 enjoy your day. I hope you'll make your flight 609 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,440 and carried on my day. And I walked away from her with 610 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:44,320 a little tear in my eye and joy just reverberating from my whole 611 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:49,000 heart and my whole being. Because I have had people do 612 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000 stuff like that for me in the past. 613 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:56,160 And this felt like a chance for me to just give back and show up 614 00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:00,760 for somebody else who needed help and who needed support in a 615 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,440 moment. And I had the energy to give to 616 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,960 her. I don't always, but I did that 617 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,000 day. And by getting to show up in 618 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:17,600 mindfulness and give someone else love, it altered my day and 619 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,440 altered the timeline that I was on to be feeling so much more 620 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,960 gratitude than I was even that morning because I woke up in a 621 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,120 little bit of a funk. And like after that, I was 622 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:31,400 feeling so good, so aligned. And my next thought was, I 623 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:37,720 wonder who I can help next? I was like, wow, how much just 624 00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:43,320 this one act of of random kindness did for me. 625 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:48,680 I'm glad that it helped her, but selfishly, I am really grateful 626 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,040 for the boost that it gave me to feel. 627 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,680 And that is an example of the version of myself that I want to 628 00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,560 be living in all the time. That's the version I want to be 629 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:06,760 at 30 and 35, that is living in a place of constant gratitude, 630 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,560 that has the space in her life to go on a wander, to get on the 631 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:16,240 wrong bus, to help somebody out that needs it, to have extra 632 00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:20,880 food in her bag that she can easily give away to other people 633 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:27,160 who need it more than she does. So thank you for coming on this 634 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,000 journey with me. I hope that this doesn't feel 635 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,600 like a big list.

Take them or leave them. 639 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,800 Pick one, take one, leave the rest, whatever. 640 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,840 But please stay consistent with whatever 1 you pick and watch 641 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:58,520 the timeline unfold.
