What's some of the advice that you can give women over 50 when it comes to the importance of?

00:00:11.714 --> 00:00:13.362
affirmations, affirmations.

00:00:13.362 --> 00:00:17.420
I believe they should be said at minimum twice a day morning and evening.

00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:27.969
Because first thing in the morning, especially just when you're getting out of that sleep, of having a routine, to really start speaking gratitude and affirming yourself.

00:00:27.969 --> 00:00:35.377
You know, I am awake, I'm, the blood is running to my veins, I am healthy and my ankles are moving well, my wrists are moving well.

00:00:35.377 --> 00:00:42.603
Really just start speaking well about yourself, because, one, it gets the brain going right, because you're thinking about these things to be grateful right.

00:00:42.603 --> 00:00:46.432
Two, it reminds you that you have so much to be grateful for.

00:00:46.432 --> 00:00:51.231
Three, is that I'm reminding myself of what I am in this moment.

00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:15.242
Hi, I'm Linus Woods Mullins and I love to help women to vibe, to be more vibrant, intuitive, beautiful and empowered in midlife.

00:01:15.242 --> 00:01:16.962
So come on, let's vibe.

00:01:16.962 --> 00:01:32.132
I love the idea of having holistic tools that can help me with my mindset.

00:01:32.132 --> 00:01:51.522
These are interesting times and I'm always looking for ways to stay uplifted, empowered, positive, regardless of what's going on in the world around me, and I think we can all agree that it is crazy time, no matter what your philosophy is or what side of the fence you're living on or whatever.

00:01:51.522 --> 00:01:59.489
I think we can all agree that this is some pretty intense times, and one of the things that has really helped me to start my day are affirmations.

00:01:59.489 --> 00:02:06.593
I believe that they work and they have worked in my life, and that's why I'm so excited to have with me today Perron.

00:02:06.593 --> 00:02:13.768
She is my friend and also an expert when it comes to affirmations and, perron, I'm so glad that you're here.

00:02:13.768 --> 00:02:15.567
Welcome to the Bible Living Podcast.

00:02:15.567 --> 00:02:16.804
It's great to have you here today.

00:02:17.205 --> 00:02:17.828
Thank you, lennis.

00:02:17.828 --> 00:02:21.631
I'm excited to be here and to talk about my favorite subject affirmations.

00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:22.701
Absolutely.

00:02:22.701 --> 00:02:26.010
First of all, how did you get started with affirmations?

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.270
Ooh, that's a good question, and I have a great short story to tell you about it.

00:02:30.270 --> 00:02:40.081
It was during a time that I was post well, no, in the middle of my recovery from trauma, mental abuse, physical abuse, financial abuse, you name it.

00:02:40.081 --> 00:02:52.649
I experienced that and survived it to a point that I was able to make a conscious decision of what I wanted to do with my life going forward, and what I wanted to do is learn more about me.

00:02:52.649 --> 00:02:55.689
I wanted to learn who Keron was.

00:02:55.689 --> 00:03:22.605
Keron was the wife, keron is the mother, keron is the sister, she is the minister of music at church, she's all those things, but she didn't quite know who she was as a woman, as an individual, as a woman who experienced quite a bit of trauma, being told that she was next to nothing and that she would never be anything and without him I don't exist.

00:03:22.605 --> 00:03:24.789
And buying into that?

00:03:24.789 --> 00:03:25.691
Can you imagine that?

00:03:25.691 --> 00:03:29.364
Buying into someone telling you that you are nothing without them?

00:03:29.364 --> 00:03:32.230
And that's what happens when you have low self-esteem.

00:03:32.230 --> 00:03:34.903
I am a survivor of child molestation.

00:03:34.903 --> 00:03:39.260
I was molested at the age of five by someone very close to the family.

00:03:39.260 --> 00:03:41.144
Yeah, can you imagine that too?

00:03:41.144 --> 00:03:49.110
But you know, though, linus in all of that because I lost so much of myself and I won't go too much into that, that's for another show.

00:03:49.692 --> 00:04:08.024
But when I decided that I wanted to live a better life, I remember very clearly it was early 2010, 11, something like that and I was looking out the window and that's just how recent my rebuild has been, my restoration has been.

00:04:08.024 --> 00:04:12.162
Looking out the window of my bedroom and I said to myself there's got to be more.

00:04:12.162 --> 00:04:16.872
There's got to be more to life than just living day to day.

00:04:16.872 --> 00:04:22.512
There's got to be more to me knowing who I am than just what everybody else has been telling me.

00:04:22.512 --> 00:04:27.747
And I want to say a day or two later, I was listening to someone speak about affirmations.

00:04:27.747 --> 00:04:29.411
I'm like affirmations what is that?

00:04:29.411 --> 00:04:30.793
Never heard of before in my life?

00:04:30.793 --> 00:04:38.029
So I listened very intently and I'll tell you what the person said to me, and I use this as part of my speaking about affirmations.

00:04:38.029 --> 00:04:48.985
The first thing she said was that affirmations are not a magic trick, but they are absolutely magical in how they can transform you, so you can transform your life.

00:04:48.985 --> 00:04:52.733
That was like what Hold on, tell me more, tell me more.

00:04:52.733 --> 00:05:00.665
So, when it comes to affirmations, yes, it's a string of words, whether it's two words, 10 words, three words, doesn't matter.

00:05:00.665 --> 00:05:01.970
Whatever you determine it to be.

00:05:02.922 --> 00:05:09.853
With affirmations, it's a matter of you speaking to yourself about yourself or about something you desire, a mindset.

00:05:09.853 --> 00:05:16.348
Shifting your mindset out of the I cannot to the I can and I will.

00:05:16.348 --> 00:05:22.901
Shifting your mindset from what everybody else has been telling you and I told in my affirmation room.

00:05:22.901 --> 00:05:25.283
I told the individuals there Everybody else has been telling you and I told in my affirmation room.

00:05:25.283 --> 00:05:33.569
I told the individuals there speak to yourself, particularly in the morning, before the world has a chance to tell you who you are right.

00:05:34.709 --> 00:05:42.615
When I started the practice of just simply telling myself I am courageous, I remember this very clearly, telling myself I am courageous.

00:05:42.615 --> 00:05:56.228
Now, yes, I was telling myself that in the mirror, really just talking to myself, looking myself in the eye, but the catalyst, if you will, for me was to start taking action along with that affirmation.

00:05:56.228 --> 00:06:01.526
So in telling myself I am courageous, because I was not very courageous, whatever somebody told me to do, I did it.

00:06:01.526 --> 00:06:03.310
I had no mind of my own.

00:06:03.310 --> 00:06:04.845
If you told me to stop, I stopped.

00:06:04.845 --> 00:06:06.048
You told me to go, I go.

00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:08.446
And can you imagine me being like that?

00:06:08.446 --> 00:06:09.730
Who is that Laura?

00:06:09.730 --> 00:06:10.865
Who is that chick right?

00:06:10.865 --> 00:06:24.189
But along the journey, I really started to see myself evolve in how I saw me, how I spoke about me, and in doing so, I started to take small measures.

00:06:24.189 --> 00:06:31.913
Please, no one take the misunderstanding that I said affirmations on one day and the next day, voila, I was all fixed.

00:06:31.913 --> 00:06:33.403
That wasn't it.

00:06:33.403 --> 00:06:38.196
It was time, it was investment, it was work, it was taking action.

00:06:38.196 --> 00:06:43.689
But all along talking to myself, did I wake up some days like do I really believe this?

00:06:43.769 --> 00:06:44.853
Yes, I did.

00:06:44.853 --> 00:06:56.490
You know, what's really amazing about your journey is that you went from a situation where you weren't feeling empowered to the point now where you are actually speaking into women's lives as a woman's empowerment coach.

00:06:56.490 --> 00:07:08.793
And when you take a look at your journey, what do you think were the things that you began to use as your toolkit to help you along the way?

00:07:09.995 --> 00:07:11.137
Along with affirmations.

00:07:11.137 --> 00:07:19.401
It was really my circle of women, the women that I encircled myself with, getting into different groups of people.

00:07:19.401 --> 00:07:21.687
I had to change my way of life.

00:07:21.687 --> 00:07:28.555
Whereas I would wake up in the morning and maybe eat garbage, I started to eat better.

00:07:28.555 --> 00:07:31.165
I started to get physical exercise.

00:07:31.165 --> 00:07:36.276
I started to read more content that was in the direction of where I wanted to go.

00:07:36.276 --> 00:07:38.904
I started to listen to things on YouTube.

00:07:38.904 --> 00:07:43.538
I started to see me better, doing better and being better.

00:07:44.380 --> 00:07:47.209
Affirmations was my speaking tool.

00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:56.221
When I was feeling at my lowest, I would go to the mirror and say something to myself to encourage myself, or I would call one of my friends I'll call my lifeline.

00:07:56.221 --> 00:07:58.752
I'll call one of the friends, my new friends.

00:07:58.752 --> 00:07:59.475
That was speaking to me.

00:07:59.475 --> 00:08:00.538
Okay, girl, what's going on?

00:08:00.538 --> 00:08:02.081
What are you feeling today?

00:08:02.081 --> 00:08:05.336
Someone who really wanted to invest in me.

00:08:05.336 --> 00:08:25.735
So in having that resource, having that tool that I can call at any time of the morning, or that book that I can pick up, or really just recalling where I was to where I was at that moment five days ago, two months ago, six months ago, where were you Now?

00:08:25.735 --> 00:08:26.978
Look at where you are today.

00:08:26.978 --> 00:08:28.583
Have you conquered it all?

00:08:28.583 --> 00:08:30.367
No, but look where I am today.

00:08:30.367 --> 00:08:38.721
So reflection was a big tool for me too, to reflect on where I was and how I'm looking today and what's ahead of me to come.

00:08:38.721 --> 00:08:55.515
So I had a few tools, so affirmation is part of them reflection, having my circle to be the women that were where I wanted to be, and I firmly believe in your circle being a little more advanced than you are, so that you have somewhere to aspire to, right?

00:08:55.515 --> 00:09:01.767
So with those tools, I was able to tap in when times got tough.

00:09:01.888 --> 00:09:10.119
As I was sharing with you earlier, I'm experiencing something right now I've never experienced before, ever, and this experience really is showing me.

00:09:10.119 --> 00:09:16.461
Okay, it's either show up or shut up, one of the two, because I've been speaking about all you got to do is speak to yourself.

00:09:16.461 --> 00:09:17.985
All you got to do is be courageous.

00:09:17.985 --> 00:09:29.537
So now I have a real opportunity of displaying that, acting that out in a very tangible way, of speaking to myself and reminding myself.

00:09:29.537 --> 00:09:33.025
Before I got on with you, I was having a little chat with myself.

00:09:33.025 --> 00:09:36.279
It's like, okay, you're here, so what are you going to do?

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.422
Right, are you going to whine about it?

00:09:38.422 --> 00:09:40.287
Are you going to find this as a moment to grow?

00:09:40.287 --> 00:09:41.475
So, hopefully, I answered.

00:09:41.657 --> 00:09:51.177
It's interesting because our challenges really do help propel us to the next level of our success, because the challenges teach you what it is you need to do to keep moving.

00:09:51.177 --> 00:09:56.206
And I know they say well, you know, when you have a problem or we have a challenge, you know, thank God for it.

00:09:56.206 --> 00:09:59.250
And of course, that takes a lot of evolving to say OK, thank you.

00:09:59.250 --> 00:10:11.245
But I understand the concept behind it because, within that challenge, we're going to be the tools, the survival tactics and things that you need to be the strategies that are going to help you along the way.

00:10:11.245 --> 00:10:22.841
Now, as you know, the Vibe Living Podcast is all about speaking life and confirming women from a holistic perspective for their mind, body and spirit, and most of our leadership is women over 50.

00:10:22.841 --> 00:10:29.169
So, given that, what's some of the advice that you can give women over 50 when it comes to the importance of affirmations?

00:10:29.169 --> 00:10:40.750
How often should they be saying them, what kinds of affirmations should they be saying, and how can they keep the discipline of actually developing a practice every day?

00:10:41.774 --> 00:10:47.525
So affirmations, I believe they should be said a minimum twice a day, morning and evening.

00:10:47.525 --> 00:10:57.981
Because first thing in the morning, especially just when you're getting out of that sleep, of having a routine, to really start speaking gratitude and affirming yourself.

00:10:57.981 --> 00:11:05.365
You know I am awake, the blood is running to my veins, I am healthy and my ankles are moving well, my wrists are moving well.

00:11:05.365 --> 00:11:07.640
Really, just start speaking well about yourself.

00:11:07.640 --> 00:11:12.618
Because, one, it gets the brain going right, Because you're thinking about these things to be grateful right.

00:11:12.618 --> 00:11:16.484
Two, it reminds you that you have so much to be grateful for.

00:11:16.484 --> 00:11:24.363
Three is that I'm reminding myself of what I am in this moment, not five minutes from now, not tomorrow, not next month.

00:11:24.363 --> 00:11:27.048
In this moment I am powerful.

00:11:27.048 --> 00:11:33.697
In this moment I'm able to get my body out of this bed and move and go to the bathroom or go get coffee or go get.

00:11:33.697 --> 00:11:35.120
I'm reminding myself.

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:36.344
So affirmations for me.

00:11:36.344 --> 00:11:38.067
I practice them two times a day.

00:11:39.017 --> 00:11:39.562
Okay, and.

00:11:40.027 --> 00:11:40.572
I'm sorry, go ahead.

00:11:40.572 --> 00:11:45.985
Go ahead Morning and evening morning evening to wake me up and to get me settled for the next day.

00:11:45.985 --> 00:11:46.346
Go ahead.

00:11:46.346 --> 00:11:46.967
What are you going to say?

00:11:47.394 --> 00:11:49.477
Well, I was going to say the affirmations that you do.

00:11:49.477 --> 00:11:51.380
I know you talk a lot about personalization.

00:11:51.380 --> 00:11:53.004
In fact, full disclosure, everybody.

00:11:53.004 --> 00:11:57.169
I met Haran through Clubhouse, yes, and you know what?

00:11:57.169 --> 00:11:59.102
I just signed up for Chatter today.

00:11:59.102 --> 00:12:01.321
What a robust platform.

00:12:01.321 --> 00:12:04.321
Yes, I'm so proud of them.

00:12:04.321 --> 00:12:08.063
I mean, wow, If you guys haven't done it yet, check out Chatter.

00:12:08.063 --> 00:12:18.282
I think right now it's only by invite, right, but maybe by the time you hear about it they might be expanding it.

00:12:18.282 --> 00:12:21.732
So go to and download the app and get ready, because it's going to be a robust platform.

00:12:21.732 --> 00:12:30.535
We met just through hearing each other's voices and you decided after a little bit to create a room that was all about affirmations.

00:12:30.535 --> 00:12:33.743
In fact, you call yourself the affirmation whisperer.

00:12:34.303 --> 00:12:39.321
So, how do people go about personalizing the affirmations?

00:12:39.321 --> 00:12:44.582
Because you talk about that a lot and you give people an opportunity in the room to come up and share their affirmation.

00:12:44.582 --> 00:12:45.745
How does that work?

00:12:46.394 --> 00:12:53.457
Well, to start, I have personalized consultations that I do, where people get with me and they meet and discuss what it is they want.

00:12:53.457 --> 00:12:55.402
But I'll tell you a little bit about that process.

00:12:55.402 --> 00:13:00.157
I believe firmly that you have to determine what it is that you want for yourself.

00:13:00.157 --> 00:13:08.179
Not materialistic, not money, not house, not any of that, because it takes you to create all that right.

00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:10.284
What is it that you want from yourself?

00:13:10.284 --> 00:13:13.017
So, number one determine what do you want for yourself.

00:13:13.017 --> 00:13:15.421
Is it I want to be more creative?

00:13:15.421 --> 00:13:21.369
I want to be more strategic, I want to be more quick to take action.

00:13:21.369 --> 00:13:24.100
So determine what it is that you want for yourself.

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:25.686
That's the first place to start.

00:13:25.686 --> 00:13:27.854
And then start to write out.

00:13:27.854 --> 00:13:31.222
What would that look like for you If I was being more creative?

00:13:31.423 --> 00:13:33.227
What would that look like for me?

00:13:33.227 --> 00:13:38.615
Now that you've determined what it would look like, now go about creating the affirmation.

00:13:38.615 --> 00:13:54.865
Because, from what it looks like, if I say that my creativity comes easily, I am encouraged, or I get ideas very easily from almost anything, my affirmation would be in everything I see, I see creativity.

00:13:54.865 --> 00:13:57.984
Or in everything I see, I am creative.

00:13:57.984 --> 00:14:02.923
In everything I am doing, I am creative Because I have a visual for what that looks like.

00:14:02.923 --> 00:14:08.748
When I'm walking through the park, I see multiple opportunities to create dot, dot, dot, dot dot.

00:14:08.748 --> 00:14:14.626
So because I have determined what I want, now I can speak to it.

00:14:14.626 --> 00:14:15.489
Does that make sense?

00:14:15.975 --> 00:14:20.105
Yes, I love that because a lot of times people think that affirmations have to start with.

00:14:20.105 --> 00:14:22.643
I am Talk a little bit about that.

00:14:23.245 --> 00:14:25.493
Oh geez, now you're getting into the chakras.

00:14:25.493 --> 00:14:27.158
So there are seven chakras, right?

00:14:27.158 --> 00:14:31.172
The root chakra is where the I am comes from.

00:14:31.172 --> 00:14:35.777
And the root chakra is in your pelvis area, your root, where everything kind of comes from.

00:14:35.777 --> 00:14:39.125
Life comes from your root chakra, your pelvis area.

00:14:39.125 --> 00:14:41.576
So that's where the I am starts too.

00:14:41.576 --> 00:14:48.998
So when I'm saying I am, I am speaking to myself to remind myself of what I am, who I am and whose I am.

00:14:48.998 --> 00:14:55.272
But when I say I see I'm coming from my third eye, now I'm coming from my third eye, now I'm coming from my third eye chakra.

00:14:55.272 --> 00:15:03.116
So when I affirmations can start with I am, and if that's where you want to start, that's where you're comfortable, that's fine.

00:15:03.958 --> 00:15:04.740
Affirmations can be.

00:15:04.740 --> 00:15:07.245
I feel affirmations can be.

00:15:07.245 --> 00:15:15.046
I see affirmation can say can be, I do, and it comes from different focuses within your spirit.

00:15:15.046 --> 00:15:15.868
I'll say it that way.

00:15:15.868 --> 00:15:18.058
I think that's a little more connectivity there.

00:15:18.058 --> 00:15:21.427
So I am is great, and I started there too.

00:15:21.427 --> 00:15:22.576
I had a list of 50.

00:15:22.576 --> 00:15:25.582
I am affirmations, but do they have to be I am?

00:15:25.582 --> 00:15:26.423
No, they don't.

00:15:26.423 --> 00:15:31.020
I see meaning that you're broadening your vision, your spiritual vision.

00:15:31.020 --> 00:15:36.158
Therefore, your physical vision is being broadened because you're speaking to that in an affirmative manner.

00:15:37.581 --> 00:15:38.082
I love that.

00:15:38.082 --> 00:15:39.205
Now give me examples.

00:15:39.205 --> 00:15:39.907
I love the.

00:15:39.907 --> 00:15:40.587
I see.

00:15:40.587 --> 00:15:44.245
What would be an example that you might say, for I see.

00:15:46.576 --> 00:15:48.081
I see the world with much clarity.

00:15:48.081 --> 00:15:49.785
Therefore, I can make good decisions.

00:15:50.715 --> 00:15:51.938
Oh, my goodness, I have to write that down.

00:15:51.938 --> 00:15:53.803
I see everybody.

00:15:53.803 --> 00:15:58.182
Oh, if you're driving, don't do it, but for the rest of you who are I see, say that again.

00:15:58.342 --> 00:16:01.556
I see the world with much clarity.

00:16:01.556 --> 00:16:03.479
Therefore, I make good decisions.

00:16:04.461 --> 00:16:07.626
I see the world with much clarity.

00:16:08.207 --> 00:16:09.976
Therefore, I make good decisions.

00:16:10.236 --> 00:16:13.524
Therefore, I make good decisions.

00:16:13.524 --> 00:16:20.947
Okay, so we're going to do a little exercise here because I want people to see what it would be like to do an affirmation session with you.

00:16:20.947 --> 00:16:21.488
Is that okay?

00:16:21.488 --> 00:16:22.677
Yes, absolutely.

00:16:22.677 --> 00:16:27.636
Well, as you know, I am in the process of launching the Vibe Wellness Woman Network.

00:16:27.636 --> 00:16:28.884
It is launched Right now.

00:16:28.884 --> 00:16:34.702
It's down for a couple of weeks because we're doing some navigation stuff, but it's going to be back up again and by the time this airs it'll definitely be up.

00:16:34.702 --> 00:16:36.527
So I wanted to be successful.

00:16:36.527 --> 00:16:52.542
I wanted to be a place where women can go and get information that is diverse and holistic, that achieves that, helps them with their mind, body, spirit wellness and exposes them to some of the premier experts in the field of mind, body, spirit wellness, such as yourself, because you're one of the contributors.

00:16:52.542 --> 00:16:53.322
Absolutely.

00:16:53.322 --> 00:16:56.447
So, if I want all of that, this is what I wanted.

00:16:56.447 --> 00:16:57.570
Just said what I want.

00:16:57.570 --> 00:17:02.245
What kind of affirmation should I put?

00:17:02.267 --> 00:17:02.427
together.

00:17:02.427 --> 00:17:04.255
Give me a second.

00:17:04.255 --> 00:17:05.298
I know what I want to say.

00:17:05.298 --> 00:17:12.481
I just want to make sure it's fluid, so give me the full name of the community again, it's the Vibe Wellness Woman Network.

00:17:13.029 --> 00:17:15.974
Ok, so I'm going to say the Vibe Network.

00:17:16.095 --> 00:17:23.125
My Vibe Network is filled with women who have the same intention that I do to come here and become their best selves.

00:17:23.125 --> 00:17:27.839
Once again, the Vibe community are filled with women.

00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:31.574
So you're already saying what it is before it comes into fruition.

00:17:31.574 --> 00:17:38.777
The vibe community are filled with women who are aligned with the mission and are growing just as I am.

00:17:38.777 --> 00:17:41.432
I changed that up a little bit and I think that was on purpose.

00:17:41.432 --> 00:17:47.616
The vibe community are filled with women who are aligned with my mission and are growing in this community as I am.

00:17:47.616 --> 00:17:52.882
So you see how that just really just speaks to what it is you desire for the community.

00:17:52.882 --> 00:17:59.096
So you're drawing in women who are aligned, because you don't want people in there just being what I call the wallflowers.

00:17:59.096 --> 00:18:00.240
You don't want that.

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.392
You want people that are aligned with the mission and they are involved in it.

00:18:04.392 --> 00:18:20.998
They are growing just as you are growing, which means they are bringing in people with the same mindset, right, bringing in new ideas, bringing in freshness to it, bringing in concepts that may not have been considered before, but you are drawing them with you because you have set the intention, and that's another thing.

00:18:21.038 --> 00:18:30.654
With your mindset, you're able to set the intention of what it is I desire and speak to that in such an empowering way that you are drawing it onto yourself, right?

00:18:31.015 --> 00:18:44.619
So when I speak my affirmation or I don't have to be, I could be driving to work I drive into where I'm going, driving to a speaking event, my client, whatever it may be and as I'm driving on my way there, I'm speaking to that.

00:18:44.619 --> 00:18:52.801
Even before I got on this call, I stated my affirmations May the words I say be heard by the right person so they can make actions towards their betterness.

00:18:52.801 --> 00:18:55.736
This is what I said to myself before I got on here.

00:18:55.736 --> 00:19:04.771
So when I'm getting ready to do what I need to do, I'm speaking to that because I want my reach to be wide, but I want it to be impactful as well.

00:19:04.771 --> 00:19:25.494
So when you're doing that and seeing an affirmation of that type that women who are aligned with the mission of the Vibe Wellness community are coming in and bringing in their new concepts, their new ideas, feeding from what I am feeding them and they are feeding each other oh my gosh, I can just go on with the affirmations for that community.

00:19:25.535 --> 00:19:26.258
I love that.

00:19:26.258 --> 00:19:29.900
I love that and also something else that I'm hearing in terms of the affirmations.

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:40.041
It's not just about the affirmation, it's about the attention and the action that comes as a result, because how they say, how they talk about prayer without action is dead kind of thing.

00:19:40.041 --> 00:19:43.018
Same thing with affirmation and then setting that intention.

00:19:43.018 --> 00:19:46.083
It's one thing to say it, but it's another thing to believe it.

00:19:46.603 --> 00:19:58.038
Absolutely, and let's talk about that because I know there's a little, there's a lot of science behind it and I know you're not a scientist or anything like that, but what are some of the things that the experts are saying around affirmations and why it actually works?

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.000
So let me.

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:07.021
I brought this up really quick because I've had this question before, so I saved this little bit of research that I have here, so I'm going to read this really quick for everyone.

00:20:07.021 --> 00:20:13.878
So affirmations are statements, of course, that individuals repeat with the intention of bringing about what it is that they desire.

00:20:13.878 --> 00:20:22.037
The science is rooted in psychology, particularly in the theory of neuroplasty and the placebo effect.

00:20:22.037 --> 00:20:24.377
So we know what the placebo effect is.

00:20:24.377 --> 00:20:34.201
Right, you have somebody, a pill that has something in it, a pill that doesn't have any, but because of the intention, the outcome is the same, right?

00:20:34.201 --> 00:20:45.268
So in my mind, I am saying something to myself that isn't true in this moment that my community has 1500 members that are active.

00:20:45.268 --> 00:20:51.919
Right, it's not true in this moment, but because I continually say it, I believe it, it is coming to me.

00:20:51.919 --> 00:20:57.674
I believe in the process of spiritually aligning yourself with what it is you desire, right?

00:20:57.674 --> 00:21:00.422
So I'm speaking about it, I'm taking the action.

00:21:00.422 --> 00:21:01.551
Therefore, it will be.

00:21:01.551 --> 00:21:04.240
It has no choice, it has no choice.

00:21:04.582 --> 00:21:09.751
Another thought about affirmations is the theory of affirmations, and this was developed by Claude Steele.

00:21:09.751 --> 00:21:17.758
He suggests that people have a basic need to maintain their self-integrity or a positive image and value.

00:21:17.758 --> 00:21:33.938
By focusing on the positive aspects of themselves, individuals can better cope with challenges and maintain their sense of self-integrity.

00:21:33.938 --> 00:21:35.020
I love that.

00:21:35.020 --> 00:21:36.752
Again, that was by Claude Steele.

00:21:36.752 --> 00:21:48.202
He did the research on that and it's completely from a place of protecting myself by reminding myself who I am, what I can do, what I have done and what I will do.

00:21:48.202 --> 00:22:03.286
I'm continually reminding myself of that, so when these challenges come and I feel a little vulnerable, I can just speak to myself, reinforce myself, stand 10 toes down and move forward with what it is that I have the intention to do.

00:22:04.391 --> 00:22:09.676
You said something very key too, and let's talk about that, and that is about the integrity of your affirmations.

00:22:09.676 --> 00:22:14.334
Yes, like my affirmation could be, when I go to the bank, I'm going to have $2 million.

00:22:14.334 --> 00:22:19.613
When I go to the bank, I'm going to have $2 million when I go to the bank.

00:22:19.613 --> 00:22:21.576
What's going on with the integrity of that statement?

00:22:21.576 --> 00:22:29.351
I mean, because I don't have $2 million in the bank and that's not even really one of my affirmations, but I do know that some people think okay.

00:22:29.451 --> 00:22:30.917
I'm going to start saying I want a million dollars.

00:22:31.632 --> 00:22:33.069
What's going on with that in terms of integrity?

00:22:33.069 --> 00:22:34.836
So it's a desire.

00:22:35.309 --> 00:22:37.198
They're speaking to a desire.

00:22:37.198 --> 00:22:43.377
But then I say what are your actions that are aligning with your desire?

00:22:43.377 --> 00:22:48.277
And, as I said, they are magical affirmations, but they're not a magic trick.

00:22:48.277 --> 00:22:55.997
So I hear people come into the room, that affirmation room I am a millionaire and I think that's great that they're saying that to themselves.

00:22:55.997 --> 00:23:00.055
But my automatic thought is okay, what actions are you taking?

00:23:00.055 --> 00:23:03.792
Are you surrounding yourself with people who are already millionaires?

00:23:03.792 --> 00:23:06.761
Are you reading books that align with how to be a millionaire?

00:23:06.761 --> 00:23:08.535
Are you financially savvy?

00:23:08.535 --> 00:23:09.297
You see what I'm saying.

00:23:09.356 --> 00:23:18.724
So the actions so something like saying I am setting the intention and developing the building blocks to put me in position to be a millionaire.

00:23:18.724 --> 00:23:19.509
There it is.

00:23:19.509 --> 00:23:20.994
Is that the same?

00:23:21.015 --> 00:23:21.497
There it is.

00:23:21.517 --> 00:23:21.898
Yes.

00:23:21.898 --> 00:23:28.804
So you set the intention, but you also say the things you're going to be doing to get to that place.

00:23:28.804 --> 00:23:30.537
You're not saying that it won't happen.

00:23:30.537 --> 00:23:36.002
You're saying that it will happen, but you're also bringing into your awareness that it's going to take some work.

00:23:36.002 --> 00:23:45.009
So that takes the kind of the abracadabra out of it, I guess, because you've got to do some work and I've heard those people talk about the millionaire thing.

00:23:45.230 --> 00:23:47.990
Yes, absolutely, and I never discourage anyone.

00:23:47.990 --> 00:23:56.538
When I have someone come in my room, usually I know they're new to affirmations, right, or they don't quite get the true theory behind affirmations.

00:23:56.538 --> 00:24:02.823
So I always encourage them come up, say your affirmations Doesn't matter what it is, you need to get accustomed to it.

00:24:02.823 --> 00:24:11.394
But as they listen to others who have done the work, who understand the whole process, their affirmations begin to transform.

00:24:11.394 --> 00:24:14.342
They begin to become a little more integrous.

00:24:14.342 --> 00:24:17.636
Right, they're saying them with intention, they are understanding.

00:24:17.636 --> 00:24:20.875
Now and I get so excited about that because that's growth.

00:24:20.875 --> 00:24:31.478
They were saying that I'm a millionaire, but then they started saying I am taking actions to educate myself so that I can't align with doing the actions of a millionaire.

00:24:31.478 --> 00:24:32.179
That's growth.

00:24:32.179 --> 00:24:36.336
Right there they go from saying I'm a millionaire to saying da, da, da, da, da, right.

00:24:36.336 --> 00:24:38.823
So I encourage people to do them.

00:24:39.369 --> 00:24:42.337
I never criticize anyone over their affirmations.

00:24:42.337 --> 00:24:43.922
That's not the thing to do.

00:24:43.922 --> 00:24:52.621
I keep encouraging them to be in a place where they can grow, because eventually, if they're being very intentional, they will grow.

00:24:52.621 --> 00:25:05.596
Their affirmations will transform into a more and I don't like to say feasible, but I'm going to say it for just lack of a better word more feasible, and not that you can't say I will be a millionaire.

00:25:05.596 --> 00:25:10.265
You can say that, but then take the actions Because, honestly, it's rare.

00:25:10.265 --> 00:25:12.431
It's very, very rare that it drops out of the sky.

00:25:12.431 --> 00:25:13.012
Right, Linus?

00:25:13.032 --> 00:25:27.404
No 17 years here and still hasn't dropped out of the sky for me, I mean.

00:25:27.404 --> 00:25:32.925
But you know, each year has gotten better and better and better and I have to say that my last year was my best year ever and this year was a little bit rocky, but that was because I was stretching myself into a completely different branding and model.

00:25:32.925 --> 00:25:33.868
So that takes time.

00:25:33.868 --> 00:25:47.548
So I didn't have the expectation since I wasn't going to be taking any new clients or anything like that that I was going to be making as much money as I did last year because I had to develop some building blocks to get to where I want to go with the Vibe Wellness Woman Network.

00:25:47.548 --> 00:25:53.267
So I think, setting your intentions, setting your expectations, setting your affirmations.

00:25:53.287 --> 00:25:55.471
They kind of all work together.

00:25:55.471 --> 00:26:04.515
But tell me this I would love to know, because you've heard so many affirmations, you've written so many affirmations what are some of your favorite affirmations for women to say?

00:26:05.305 --> 00:26:26.999
Oh my gosh and I won't say any specific ones because, honestly, they're not coming back to me but any affirmation that speaks to a woman's soul, her soul, when she has an affirmation that speaks to her soul, her soul, when she has an affirmation that speaks to her soul, linus, that lets me know that she's working from the inside out and not from the outside in.

00:26:26.999 --> 00:26:31.452
When she says that my soul is filled with love that I share easily with others.

00:26:31.452 --> 00:26:32.896
That's one that I've heard.

00:26:32.896 --> 00:26:43.140
That's one my soul is filled with love that I easily share with others, my soul is satisfied in this place, that I am and I am content.

00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:50.231
Those types of affirmations, really, but even as I say them, that brings chills to me, because I know when you said content.

00:26:50.593 --> 00:26:51.979
You reminded me of Paul.

00:26:51.979 --> 00:26:58.661
I've learned to be content in my current circumstances, Exactly, Exactly, and that's really what it all is about.

00:26:58.661 --> 00:27:04.997
Is is about what's happening right now, in this moment in time being present and still being able to find joy.

00:27:04.997 --> 00:27:09.375
I'm finding great joy just listening to you and talking to you.

00:27:09.375 --> 00:27:18.480
I'm so excited for the turn that your life has taken and the steps, the building blocks that you are doing in your new journey.

00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:29.074

Her bio is there, but also all of her social media and her website.

00:27:32.473 --> 00:27:38.672
She has a wonderful book for children, for affirmations, and I want you to know that.

00:27:38.672 --> 00:27:43.993
I don't know if you know I got your book, but my granddaughter and I do your affirmations.

00:27:44.595 --> 00:27:45.395
I have no idea?

00:27:45.496 --> 00:27:46.196
Are you kidding me?

00:27:46.196 --> 00:27:47.579
I have no idea.

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:53.986
It wasn't.

00:27:53.986 --> 00:27:54.406
You know what.

00:27:54.406 --> 00:28:08.715
When I bought it, her mom let me take this back I sent some money to her mom to buy the book for her, so it's another name, maybe that purchased the book, but we got two of them yes and so, yes, we do affirmations together, and definitely because she was moving to a new city as a new baby sister and now another new.

00:28:08.715 --> 00:28:10.529
So all this new, new, new stuff coming around.

00:28:11.071 --> 00:28:18.996
So we've been doing affirmations to kind of reaffirm her little person because she's eight years old and an old soul and it really does resonate with her.

00:28:18.996 --> 00:28:20.407
But here's the real deal.

00:28:20.407 --> 00:28:23.467
I do it with my three-year-old granddaughter.

00:28:23.467 --> 00:28:38.126
When I was in Texas and I was able to come in early in the morning, well, she would start getting up with me to find out what was Nana doing you know getting up so early in the morning because I was sleeping in her room, so she would know when I would get up right, and so she was sitting there listening to the affirmations too.

00:28:38.227 --> 00:28:46.458
So her favorite ones that we put together is I am pretty, I am smart and I have a can-do attitude.

00:28:46.458 --> 00:28:48.361
Oh my gosh, that's.

00:28:48.361 --> 00:28:52.019
She's got this little, this little voice with this little lisp.

00:28:52.019 --> 00:29:00.513
You can't always understand the attitude part, but you know what she's saying Exactly.

00:29:00.513 --> 00:29:01.796
It's so powerful.

00:29:01.796 --> 00:29:06.580
As they say, out of the mouths of babes comes so much key learnings for us.

00:29:06.644 --> 00:29:24.886
So I encourage you to get her affirmations for children, but because it not only ministers to your children or grandchildren, it ministers to you as well To see that light go off in their eyes, but also to remember what it feels like to have light go off in their, in their, but also to remember when what it feels like to have light go off.

00:29:24.886 --> 00:29:31.536
Because, sometimes we overlook the times when we have those aha moments and affirmations will bring you those aha moments.

00:29:31.536 --> 00:29:37.490
All you need to do, though, is just recognize that it's there because it makes life so much richer.

00:29:39.012 --> 00:29:50.259
I love that when you talk about children, it really does stir my soul because I remember being that five-year-old that was molested and how I lost all my joy.

00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:59.829
I lost all of my confidence, I lost all of my relevance, literally because in my five-year-old eyes it looked like nothing happened.

00:29:59.829 --> 00:30:03.570
Because for me, you know when you do something bad, something's supposed to happen to you.

00:30:03.570 --> 00:30:08.875
Running to the adult women and letting them know what was going on, I was watchful.

00:30:08.875 --> 00:30:09.957
Oh, they're going to get in trouble.

00:30:09.957 --> 00:30:10.719
They're going to get in trouble.

00:30:10.719 --> 00:30:11.931
I never saw that.

00:30:12.644 --> 00:30:17.194
So in not saying something didn't happen, you know how adults handle adult things and keep it away from kids.

00:30:17.194 --> 00:30:23.126
That's I learned in my later years.

00:30:23.126 --> 00:30:23.669
That's what happened.

00:30:23.669 --> 00:30:32.152
But recalling being a child and feeling like I didn't matter because I didn't see any action taken on the harm that was given to me, I didn't see anything with my eyes.

00:30:32.152 --> 00:30:39.511
So my little five-year-old mind process oh, it doesn't matter that that happened to me, it doesn't matter.

00:30:39.511 --> 00:30:42.336
I'm hurt, I'm scared, I'm no longer safe.

00:30:42.336 --> 00:30:56.346
So having that experience and this is why, although a lot of things that we experience in life are not fun it has a purpose, because now I am understanding the necessity for our children to know who they are.

00:30:56.346 --> 00:31:04.079
Speak to them about them being intelligent, being able to manage challenging times, being able to make good decisions.

00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:08.635
If we speak to these children, can you imagine what a generation they will be?

00:31:09.176 --> 00:31:26.233
Absolutely, instead of being told of what they're not or what they can't do, or feeling like they can't do something because they're not getting that positive reinforcement that they need to have, because these are some interesting times, but having affirmations can make the journey so much richer.

00:31:26.233 --> 00:31:34.067
And thank you, karan, for the light that you are putting into the world, and I'm just so excited to see where this journey is going to take you.

00:31:34.067 --> 00:31:35.691
