00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,120
Hello, Hello and welcome back to another

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,680
episode of the Purposeful Powerhouse

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,920
Podcast. Today we're going to be talking

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,200
about navigating the

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,120
Black Friday and holiday sales

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,800
season. Because my friends, at the

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,720
time of release of this episode, it is

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,360
in full swing.

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,000
And I don't know about you, but.

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Having all the tools that you can

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,920
have as possible so that you have a

12
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,800
breath of fresh sales flowing into your

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,520
business with a little more ease and a

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,800
little bit more lightness and

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,360
spaciousness sounds good to me, right?

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,120
Because let's be real. You're a small

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,120
business owner, which means you're also

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,920
the content writer, the SEO,

19
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,760
the website designer, the graphics

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,720
maker, the stylist department, the

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,360
lighting department, the makeup, you

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,840
know, whatever. The chief energy officer.

23
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,360
Yes, all of those things. I mean, you got

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,320
one of those too, right?Not the chief

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,720
executive officer or chief everything

26
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,520
officer, the chief energy officer,

27
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,160
because that's truly what. Is

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,800
needed to be able to navigate

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,440
this crazy busy season that we are

30
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,280
upon and in currently. And I mean, let's

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,320
be real, you know, most seasons, but this

32
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,280
one seems to be a little bit more full

33
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:28,040
when it comes to service-based

34
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,560
online entrepreneurs and even brick and

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,920
mortar entrepreneurs and small business

36
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,120
owners. You know, there's a big momentum

37
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,920
around this time of the year. So being

38
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,960
the Chief Energy Officer is really

39
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,440
important, right?Because your energy is

40
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,000
everything. It's the driving force in

41
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,920
your business. It is the the undercurrent

42
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,200
and the currency of your brand, if you

43
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,720
will. And so today I want to be sharing

44
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,680
three different tools, practices, tips

45
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,320
with you to be able to keep your energy

46
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,080
on point so you are able to

47
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760
navigate the hecticness of this current

48
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,600
season. So. Let's

49
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,160
talk a little bit about maybe some of the

50
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,760
challenges that you might be facing,

51
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,760
right. And let's and real talk with you

52
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,960
that I definitely have faced before. And

53
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,560
if I'm not mindful, then they

54
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200
happen, right. And so it can feel like a

55
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,720
lot to do all of the prep and the

56
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,920
promo. And you might be kind of moving

57
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:21,760
into that or thinking about it and like,

58
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,560
you know, kind of questioning your sanity

59
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,280
of like, oh man, am I really going to do

60
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,760
this again?Do I need to do this?Does

61
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,840
having a crazy, like inexpensive deal

62
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,280
cheap in my brand and all of those

63
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,680
questions that you. might be having, as

64
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,000
well as, you know, the fact that your

65
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
brain may be on board with it and it's

66
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,600
like feel like you're just kind of

67
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,080
wearing your thinking cap 24/7 and bing

68
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:42,880
in the middle of the night. You're

69
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,000
getting all these bing, bing, bing, bing,

70
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,080
bing ideas and, you know, 3:00 AM

71
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,160
brainstorming sessions, not exactly

72
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,080
conducive to a restful night's sleep. And

73
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,120
then what about wanting to make sure that

74
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,760
you, you know, you have a plan, you have

75
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,760
a strategy in place. That feels really

76
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,720
good to you. That, you know, doesn't

77
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,360
cause you to lose what's left of your

78
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,000
sanity or feel like you're selling your

79
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,080
soul and on all of those things. And so

80
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,640
those are some of the challenges that,

81
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,480
you know, often present for people.

82
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,840
And so let's talk about how

83
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,960
you can start to use some of these really

84
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,840
powerful tools and really available tools

85
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,120
to be able to make sure that you

86
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,080
are keeping that steady flow.

87
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,240
In your energy and your focus and your

88
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,160
creativity, you're showing up with that

89
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,880
vibrant magnetic energy that is your

90
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,960
beautiful, beautiful essence.

91
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,080
So let's talk

92
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960
about tool #1. Tip #1

93
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,640
is. More than likely you have

94
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,960
mapped out your sales

95
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,680
strategy for the season, right?Or maybe

96
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,280
you're in process and that's all good. It

97
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,880
doesn't, you know, have to be a right now

98
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,880
thing. So either you've done that or you

99
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,720
will do that or maybe you might do that

100
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,280
or you're maybe a more of a wing it sort

101
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160
of person and all good. And so say you

102
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,920
have created a sales strategy,

103
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,560
you have an offer that you're going to

104
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,160
deliver, you are looking at

105
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,160
creating some. E-mail content,

106
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,120
you know, an e-mail sequence or some

107
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,360
social media content. So that will

108
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,080
build that know, like and trust factor,

109
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,920
create some intrigue, help to

110
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,120
bridge the gap between where the where

111
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,760
your community is at and where your offer

112
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,080
will help them to go and like all of

113
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,280
those things, right. So you have that

114
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,960
kind of mapped out either maybe in your

115
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,440
brain or maybe you're like super on it

116
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,320
and you've got a whole spreadsheet and I

117
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,480
don't know what you know. I'm proud of

118
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,080
you. If you do, that's amazing. Teach me

119
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,080
your ways, O wise one.

120
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,760
So there you go. You have your sales

121
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,480
strategy, right?You know approximately

122
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,560
when you're going to do all these things.

123
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,920
You have, you know, ideas of when you

124
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,880
want them done by yada, yada, yada. That

125
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,040
part you probably got on lock. But what

126
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,280
is supporting the sales strategy

127
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,000
beyond, you know, Kajabi and

128
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,360
Instagram and whatever other CRMS and

129
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,040
platforms we're using?What?

130
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,520
What is supporting that strategy?

131
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,080
That's the thinking music of you trying

132
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,280
to figure it out. Yes, you got it. Oh my

133
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,840
goodness, you're so smart. It's you. It's

134
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,000
you. OK. So it's really

135
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,240
important that once you have your sales

136
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,160
strategy mapped out, you also have

137
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,560
a complementary and

138
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520
supportive self-care strategy.

139
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,040
OK. So if you're going to be pulling on

140
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,000
that is writing that fire e-mail sequence

141
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,520
and you're like, yes, that was amazing.

142
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,840
And then the next morning you're going to

143
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,720
get up and deliver a live or do a

144
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,640
whatever, I don't know. It's

145
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,840
really important that you

146
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,600
are not burning the candle at every end,

147
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,240
that you are doing the things. That you

148
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,800
know you want to do for yourself that you

149
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,280
are committed to doing because yes, you

150
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:57,720
do care about how you feel. And yes, you

151
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,440
know that your energy is the driving

152
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,120
force in your life and in your business

153
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,520
and is the common denominator in

154
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,000
everything. So how can you

155
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,160
align your sales strategy

156
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,040
with your self-care

157
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,840
strategy?So what does that look like for

158
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,160
you?Are you scheduling in your workouts?

159
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400
Are you doing your yoga practices?Are you

160
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,400
doing your breath work?Are you doing your

161
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,240
journaling?Whatever it is for you, right?

162
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,000
In the last episode, I shared a really

163
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,960
powerful practice, a proclamation

164
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,000
practice that we do inside the Rise and

165
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,640
Vibe movement. That's really, really

166
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,320
powerful tool to just get you

167
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,760
aligned to the vision, right?That's the

168
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,480
component that we work there with. Is

169
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,200
to align your mind. And so if you haven't

170
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,520
listened to that episode, it's the

171
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,480
episode before this one. And I think

172
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,760
you'll really like it because it's a

173
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,480
really awesome practice and people are

174
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,120
loving it in the rise and by movement. So

175
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,000
look at how you can schedule that

176
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,760
in, right?We all know if it's not in the

177
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,600
calendar, it's probably not going to get

178
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,000
done. So I mean, I can't say that for

179
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,640
sure, but I know that is a pretty solid

180
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,440
rule for a lot of people I know.

181
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,240
It's a thing. It's all good. No shade, no

182
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,960
shame. So that's tool number one. Tip #1

183
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,200
is to align those strategies, right?So

184
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,440
you are making sure that you're taken

185
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,520
care of, OK?And if you happen to hear any

186
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,200
strange squawking sounds, I don't know if

187
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,480
you know this or not. Chickens and

188
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,200
roosters are abundant here on Maui. And

189
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,440
so if you hear some weird sounds,

190
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,520
everything's fine. That's what it is.

191
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,600
OK, so then the one of

192
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,160
the tools beyond the. Powerhouse

193
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,040
Proclamation practice I just mentioned,

194
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,400
which is in the previous episode you can

195
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,920
go listen to. Another one of the tools

196
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,880
that I think would be really supportive

197
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,800
for you and is really aligned with tool

198
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,440
#1 is

199
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,840
and is truly the most effective way for

200
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,920
you to actually enjoy your life and show

201
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,880
up fully and you know, be able to achieve

202
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,920
the goals that you're setting for

203
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,240
yourself. The number one tool to do that,

204
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,120
the secret to doing that really, is

205
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,680
to amplify your morning routine. Because

206
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,440
darling, you already have a morning

207
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,160
routine, whether it is, you know,

208
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,520
yoga and exercise and breath work and

209
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,760
journaling and activation and and and

210
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,720
power statements and whatever like we do

211
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,680
inside Rise and Vibe. Or it's grabbing

212
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,160
your phone and scrolling until you get

213
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,800
triggered and then finally realizing

214
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,320
like, I don't want to feel like this.

215
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,680
Maybe I'll go try to meditate. And then

216
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,880
you sit there and meditate and you just

217
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360
mentally pace back and forth

218
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,160
and that might be your morning routine

219
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,240
and that's OK. 1000 million

220
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,080
percent over. It's totally OK if you like

221
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,360
that and it's supporting you and it

222
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,440
actually helps you to feel good. Bingo,

223
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,000
bingo, there you go, go. Or

224
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,520
if you want to actually make

225
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,160
it something that helps you to achieve

226
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,880
point #1 by truly.

227
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,800
Amplifying the energy that you put into

228
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,720
that time that you give yourself. That's

229
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,560
the essence of amplifying your morning

230
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,320
routine. To amplify something is to

231
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,840
expand it, to make it more vibrant, to

232
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,120
make it fuller, louder, brighter, all

233
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,880
those things. So

234
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,680
as you. Anchor yourself into

235
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,600
this decision of OK, well, I'm going to

236
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,720
spend some time with myself, for myself,

237
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,960
by myself in the morning time. How can

238
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,880
you amplify your morning routine?So the

239
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,520
three pillars of doing that are to one

240
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,240
that we just mentioned before, align your

241
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760
mind. Right. So you can use that practice

242
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,920
that I share in the previous episode or

243
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,080
whatever that is for you, right?How do

244
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,840
you get connected to the vibe of your

245
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,800
vision?Do you like journaling?Do you do

246
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,600
tapping?Do you do prayer?Do you do

247
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,080
meditation?Do you do breath work?Like,

248
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,160
align your mind to that point of focus to

249
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,200
connect to your higher self, to the truth

250
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,040
of who you are, all of that fullness,

251
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,520
your wholeness. That's the first pillar

252
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,520
of your AMR or your amplified morning

253
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,400
routine. The second one, because, in case

254
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400
you forgot, you're not a rock.

255
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,200
Move your body. That's the M. Move your

256
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,000
body. Again, that can be something as

257
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,480
simple as walking your dog, right?Or

258
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,800
going paddling on the ocean, if that's

259
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,440
your thing. Maybe you do workouts or yoga

260
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,400
or dance. Move your

261
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,520
body, move energy through your body. And

262
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,520
as you take that intention of

263
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,840
really activating the vibe of your vision

264
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,920
and dropping into that most powerful

265
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,640
confidence and all sorts of

266
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,640
amazing version of yourself, that's

267
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,840
what you're doing in the movement

268
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,760
practice, right?And yes, yes, we

269
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,440
could talk about the physiological

270
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,080
benefits of exercise and the

271
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,640
cardiovascular and the respiratory and

272
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,240
the bone density and. We can talk about

273
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,480
that. You want to talk about that because

274
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,000
there's a lot of it, OK. We can talk

275
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,400
about the regulation of your nervous

276
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,920
system. We can talk about the hormonal

277
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,120
balance. We can talk about the sleep

278
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,040
improvement. We can talk about the bone

279
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,200
density, the muscle mass, the toning.

280
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Yeah, strong tone, sexy, powerful is

281
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,600
also a thing. So

282
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,440
move your body, OK. So if you like a

283
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,240
little bit of science, there it is.

284
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:11,240
And also from a productivity point of

285
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,040
view, when we exercise in the morning, it

286
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,960
boosts your oxygen levels throughout your

287
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,560
entire body, which of course includes

288
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,480
your brain. And so then it gives you that

289
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,560
boost of creativity and focus and

290
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:22,400
playfulness just makes you a generally

291
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,320
nicer human to be around when you're

292
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,600
feeling, you know, happy and light and

293
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,560
energized. OK, so.

294
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,960
Whatever camp you want to take the

295
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:32,800
motivation from,

296
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,520
there you go. So really to really

297
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,000
to make it even more

298
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,960
supportive of navigating the hecticness

299
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,680
and really staying in alignment with your

300
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:47,200
vision and all of that, then

301
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,560
use that as a time to really

302
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,400
connect deeply to. How you

303
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,960
want to show up and how you want to feel

304
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,560
right. And so it's more than squat,

305
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,680
squat, squats. Yes, we love squats in the

306
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:00,960
Rise and Vibe movement, but also

307
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,160
make sure that you're doing them with

308
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,480
intention and you're using it as an

309
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,240
opportunity to really activate

310
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,160
and fully

311
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,280
express and fully connect to.

312
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,880
The version of you that you are, that you

313
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,640
want to be, right?It's an embodiment

314
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,200
practice in a sense that you decide to

315
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,400
use your body very intentionally as a

316
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,360
tool to fully connect to your

317
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,280
guidance, yourself, the moment, whatever

318
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,800
it is, right?And then finally what you're

319
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,320
doing there. So you align your mind, move

320
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,520
your body. And then as you do those

321
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,040
things that we've been talking about a

322
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,880
little bit here is you're rewiring your

323
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,360
system because you're gaining familiarity

324
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,840
with that version of you in that lives in

325
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,000
your vision, your higher self. The

326
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,960
version of you that you are becoming

327
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,600
through this practice, you're actually

328
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,760
rewiring your system. You're cultivating

329
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,600
this experience by giving yourself that

330
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,360
tangible felt sense when you're in the

331
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,960
practice, when you're doing the move,

332
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,080
which then helps to. Create that sense of

333
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,960
familiarity. It rewires your nervous

334
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,720
system. It it regulates your nervous

335
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,000
system. As you cultivate those empowering

336
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280
beliefs through those proclamations and

337
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,760
power statements, you're actually

338
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,440
creating new pathways in your brain that

339
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,440
align and support that belief. So

340
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,560
it's powerful, right?It's not just, you

341
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:21,240
know, I work out in the morning cause

342
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,080
that's what I do. Why not amplify it and

343
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,000
make it even more impactful?OK, so

344
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,440
that's tip #2 is to amplify your morning

345
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,920
routine. And then the

346
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,320
3rd way to really

347
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,360
navigate all of the

348
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:39,120
craziness of the holiday season, and

349
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,600
whether that's in your business or in

350
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,200
your family or on social media or

351
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,640
whatever, are to take power

352
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,280
pauses. So what is a power

353
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,440
pause?A pause

354
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,520
is that moment or 5-10

355
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,680
minutes where you.

356
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,160
Just like in your AM R, your amplified

357
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,800
morning routine, where you drop

358
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,080
into the present moment, you get out of

359
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,600
your head and into your body, where you

360
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,080
take a break from the chaotic

361
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,080
squawking and chirping that goes on

362
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,640
in our head all day, and you

363
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,480
tap into a place of connected

364
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,880
awareness, a place of

365
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,040
groundedness, a place of activation,

366
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,200
a place of reset.

367
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,080
And one of the most powerful ways you can

368
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,640
do a power pause is by using your

369
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,240
breath. The breath is like the Swiss Army

370
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,760
knife of life tools. It literally can

371
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,160
do anything you need it to when you know

372
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480
how to use it in that way, right?

373
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,520
Even just learning to slow down your

374
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,960
breath and breathe in through your nose,

375
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:47,880
out through your mouth when you're

376
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,400
feeling really wound up or stressed out

377
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,480
is such an impactful tool. If you're

378
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,640
low energized, if sorry, low energy, and

379
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,400
you want a burst of joy and playfulness,

380
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,440
we speed up the breath and we make it

381
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,400
faster or we add in movements of the

382
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,320
arms, right?If you want to activate

383
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,480
creativity, there's lots of different

384
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,400
ways that you can do that. And so even,

385
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,320
you know, just simply bringing your

386
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,040
fingertips together and using your

387
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,600
breath in a really rhythmic way. So if

388
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,960
you have your hands free, you can bring

389
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360
your fingertips together and you can just

390
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,960
move the breath in and out.

391
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,840
In and out like that, you can do it for a

392
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,480
minute. That gives you a boost of energy.

393
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,320
Bringing your hands together like that

394
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,160
stimulates the corpus callosum, which is

395
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,080
a band of connective tissue in your brain

396
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,040
that helps to tap awaken creativity and

397
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,280
memory and focus and all that. And so

398
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,320
that one is a really powerful way

399
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,560
to give yourself a time out, right?It's

400
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,960
like power pauses are like recess time

401
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,920
for adults, OK?

402
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Remember when the teacher sent you

403
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,400
outside?It was for them, for

404
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,560
sure, but it's also for you, right?It's

405
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,120
important that you take these pauses,

406
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,120
especially when you are in that

407
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,920
kind of tight energy,

408
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,560
feeling stressed, feeling overwhelmed.

409
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,880
Your brain is going in a million

410
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,600
different directions, except. For the one

411
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,760
you wanted to go in, right?And if you're

412
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,560
feeling as though you're sitting there

413
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,440
and you're trying to, you know, I just, I

414
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,760
just need to write this e-mail sequence,

415
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,520
man. I just need it. I just want to get

416
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,440
it done. And your brain is like this,

417
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,240
not doing anything. But yet at 3:00 in

418
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,160
the morning, it's bing, ding, ding, ding,

419
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,920
ding, ding, ding, you know, dancing all

420
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,240
over the stage like some sort of

421
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,560
caffeinated monkey troupe.

422
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,000
I speak from experience.

423
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,160
There's so many different ways that you

424
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,800
can use the breath, and that's really

425
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,560
what power pauses and the breath is all

426
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,240
about. And so just take a time out, right?

427
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,400
You can just play with your breath. You

428
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,400
can do some movements, you can do some

429
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,880
yoga, you can walk your dog, you can lay

430
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,840
on the floor and thrash around and shake.

431
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960
I don't know, whatever. Just take a

432
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,680
break. My goodness, the

433
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,640
hustle culture is literally pushing us

434
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,320
to that level of exhaustion. And we have

435
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,080
this sort of mentality of like, I must

436
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,960
get it done and I must get it done fast.

437
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,560
And it's a lot of times, and for myself,

438
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,000
this was the case for a long time, is

439
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,720
this internalized pressure and

440
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,480
demand that it needs to get done. It

441
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,240
needs to get done now and by me

442
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,400
and having that level of

443
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,320
high level of demand on myself for a

444
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,480
really long time and I realized. You

445
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,320
know, I I don't do well in those

446
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,440
situations. I I feel that tight,

447
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,600
restricted energy. I feel like it blocks

448
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,800
off my creative flow. It doesn't feel

449
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,560
aligned with who I know myself to be and

450
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,040
how I want to show up as a leader. And so

451
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,520
it just, you know, luckily I was able to

452
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,440
recognize it. And so if that's a thing

453
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,200
for you too, especially if there is a

454
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,800
deadline, right?If you know, I mean,

455
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,840
Black Friday happens on a certain day, so

456
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,200
you want to get things done ahead of

457
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,000
that, you know, or whatever. So

458
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,320
we just want to make sure that you're

459
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,400
monitoring that level of internal

460
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,160
pressure. Power pauses are kind of the

461
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,520
equivalent to, you know, when you put a

462
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,480
boiling or a pot of water on the stove

463
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,920
and you set it to boil and it starts to

464
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,720
boil and you can see it rumbling and

465
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,960
it's, you know, it's gurgling and there's

466
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,680
steam and the lid's kind of popping off.

467
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,120
Power pauses are the equivalent to you

468
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,560
safely with an oven mitt.

469
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,760
Taking the lid off that boiling pot of

470
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,640
water so that you

471
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,640
can release some of the steam

472
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,480
and then turning down the heat a little

473
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,280
bit, right?And ideally we do

474
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,440
these and in in combination with your

475
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,440
your morning routine and doing these

476
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,040
throughout the day and having that plan

477
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,680
for yourself. Ideally we don't get to the

478
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,320
point where the the water is boiling

479
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,200
over and it's splurting all over the

480
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,000
stove and it's making a massive mess.

481
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,040
Hopefully we can get there a

482
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,560
little ahead of that and we just all we

483
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,280
need to do is just turn the temperature

484
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,080
down and it's not going to boil over,

485
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,800
OK. So that's really, you know, hopefully

486
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,240
what I'm trying to help you to do is.

487
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,040
Boil the water without making a massive

488
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,040
mess. I mean, bringing that breath of

489
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,560
fresh sails into your business without

490
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,800
losing your shit and having a meltdown

491
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,800
every day. OK, so that's what I wanted

492
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,120
to share with you today, is how to

493
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:30,080
navigate the holiday season, both in your

494
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,280
business and in your personal life, with

495
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:34,080
a little more ease and a little more

496
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,960
grace and a little more space. So

497
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,760
if you don't know and now you will. The

498
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,760
Breathe to Succeed Breathwork

499
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,480
bundle that takes you through ten

500
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,960
of these incredible power pauses, where

501
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,360
you'll learn how to use your breath in so

502
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,760
many different ways for three

503
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,720
different needs

504
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,360
or situations you might find yourself in.

505
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:01,920
In this season, I've designed the session

506
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,600
so they're completely different. They're

507
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,560
10 minutes. And we've had people go

508
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,880
from a one to a 10 in just the course of

509
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,280
the 10 minutes. A1 to like freaking out

510
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,880
to a zend out, blissed out nine in just

511
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,480
10 minutes. That's how impactful power

512
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,120
pauses are. That's how impactful your

513
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:19,960
breath is. Remember, I it's like the

514
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,760
literally the Swiss Army knife tool of

515
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,160
life when you know how to use it, right?A

516
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,680
Swiss Army knife tool can be a little

517
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,960
overwhelming. If you look at it, you're

518
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,240
like, I don't even know what that part's

519
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,120
for. What do you do with that part?So

520
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:32,760
when you know how to use the

521
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,240
tool. Like you'll learn in the Breathe to

522
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,960
Succeed bundle, it is literally

523
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,280
becomes your go-to for everything, right?

524
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,880
Just like how people are with Swiss Army

525
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,280
knives. Like people that use Swiss Army

526
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,960
knives can use it literally,

527
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,560
probably to, I don't know what, perform

528
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,200
surgery if they needed to. I should hope

529
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,040
it's sterilized, but you know what I mean?

530
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:55,920
I was looking for a not freaky

531
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:56,480
analogy.

532
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,760
Anyways, I hope you're laughing. So

533
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,160
yes, the Breathe to Succeed Breathwork

534
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Bundle is only available during the

535
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
holiday season because it's designed for

536
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,880
the holiday season. So it's go only go

537
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,200

538
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240

539
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,560
OK, so November 11th. So if you're

540
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,560
listening to this episode before then,

541
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,560
make sure to grab it. Cause guess what?

542
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,520
When you grab it for 11 bucks, you have

543
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,160
lifetime access to it. And you can use it

544
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,800
all year round, not just during the

545
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,360
holidays, because I bet once you get to

546
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,040
experience these, you're going to want to

547
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,840
use them because they are that powerful.

548
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,360
But if you're happening to listen to this

549
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,120
later in the future, beyond November

550
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:44,400
11th and it's not available anymore,

551
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,080
it will be next year. But reach out to me

552
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,760
cause I have other things for you that I

553
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,360
cause I want you to have one of these

554
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,280
tools. OK, so if you're in the future and

555
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,800
you can't grab the breeds to succeed.

556
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,880
Breath work bundle from the link in the

557
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,440
show notes, then DM me and I'll make sure

558
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,000
to hook you up with something else

559
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,320
because I don't want you freaking out

560
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,280
over there. So thank you so

561
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,840
much for listening to this incredible

562
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,680
episode. I hope it was insightful. I hope

563
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,520
it was incredible for you. I hope it

564
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,200
helps you to navigate Black Friday and

565
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,520
the holiday hecticness with the

566
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,680
smoothness of Santa on his sleigh

567
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,880
by really using these tools, right?I hope

568
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,120
it helps you get inspired, get a little

569
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:26,000
better. Innovation in your

570
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,920
own routine and rituals. Because, you

571
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,440
know, just cause it's the holidays

572
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,800
doesn't mean it has to all fly out the

573
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,000
window and you got to wait till New

574
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,720
Year's to do anything for yourself. That

575
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,000
sounds silly, doesn't it?But sometimes

576
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,120
that's what people do and it's OK. But

577
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,440
not you, right?No. Well, cause you care

578
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,160
about how you feel. HuhYeah, I know. I

579
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,680
just, you know, just asking. So thank you

580
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,960
for being part of this incredible

581
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,680
movement. I love you so much. Have a

582
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,040
great rest of your day. Take care.
