SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

Today’s S.O.L. Story is inspired by my morning meditation in the rain.

As I was heading out to my tree — while doing walking lunges — I felt the rain, but kept moving ahead.

When I sat down in the wet grass, I smiled and had a moment of incredible gratitude that I was doing what I do regardless of what the weather was doing.

And in fact, I kinda liked the misty rain on the face.

Regardless of what’s happening outside of you...your body does what YOU tell it to do. Or what your brain tells it to do.

That’s the natural, healthy order of things.

However, if your body begins to dictate how things are going to go, you will NOT end up where you desire to go.

So what’s it going to take?

Think about THIS...

STAND.

S.T.A.N.D.

Sit.

Sit for a moment.

Sit WITH you.

Sit WITH it.

Like meditation in the rain.

Trust.

Trust God.

Trust yourself.

Trust the process.

Trust what you STAND for.

Trust that your life is FOR you.

Acknowledge.

Acknowledge truth, and U in the middle of it.

Stand in FREEDOM.

No.

Saying NO to what you need to say NO to in order for you to say YES and STAND.

What are you saying yes to?

What are you saying no to?

D.

Decide.

Declare. SET A DATE.

Do. DATE YOURSELF.

Done.

TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Where in your life do you need to take a STAND?

What do you STAND FOR?

For whom do you STAND?

Fill in the blank...

I ___ (state your name) ____ STAND FOR ______________.

EPISODE 793: Your Growth Is Memorable

Today’s S.O.L. Story is inspired by the beginning of my two newest addictions.

1. Bouldering — AKA wall climbing.

And...

2. Letter writing with my new fountain pen, Rosie.

And this is what they have in common.

The desire to IMPROVE. The want to see progress. The need to grow.

Yes, I believe it’s a NEED. Seriously, a basic requirement for life.

Growth is memorable, because we’re geared for it.

It’s when we’re growing that we’re most focused, but also it feels the most unfamiliar.

When I look at the word, IMPROVE...

I think of the desire to PROVE ourselves.

OR to prove something to ourselves.

Let’s face it...this drives a lot of behaviors.

However, if you truly believe in yourself, do you really need to PROVE “it” to anyone else or prove yourself to anyone else — including yourself?

I see “IMPROVED” as I M PROVED.

OR, I am proven or I am proof.

What is the evidence that you’re seeing each day that proves you’re growing?

Truly, it’s addicting...because it’s required for LIFE.

That is, if you desire a happy, healthy life.

If you desire a memorable life, then you must have a life full of growth.

It’ll not only be more memorable, but also more fun.

Especially when you change and grow by choice.

Growth by desire, decision, and dedication create DOING that goes beyond “HAVE TOS” into a LIFE OF BEING and HAVING.

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Where in your life do you feel a strong desire to IMPROVE?

How are you measuring your progress — where you are and where you’re going?

You must locate where you are.

You must clearly define and declare where you’re going.

This is KNOWING.

Then get doing and flowing.

THIS IS GROWING.

Remember, you cannot expect what you’re not willing to inspect.

EPISODE 795: Why Self Love? The Top 10 Reasons To Love Yourself

After learning the hard (very hard) way that NOT loving myself led to a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering, I discovered that this is the EASIER (easiest) way to TRUE LOVE.

So here are “The Top 10 Reasons To Love Yourself.”

However, first I must say that NONE OF THESE REASONS are going to include the following:

  • When you love yourself, you’ll be okay IF/WHEN someone leaves you.

True Self Love isn’t about anyone else, for anyone else, or because of anyone else. It’s about/for/because of YOU — your SELF.

Are you hearing me, my dear?

Self Love is NOT a self-protection strategy, it’s a self-promotion one.

Yes, you’ll promote yourself to a higher standard of loving and living.

Self Love is the TRUE definition of “Dating UP.”

  • When you love yourself, you’ll never be alone again.

Instead, when you truly LOVE yourself, you’ll realize the importance of being WITH yourself. Always. All ways.

You’ll be WITH/FOR yourself, but NOT all by yourself.

  • When you love yourself, you’ll AVOID future pain.

True Self Love or not...pain is inevitable. Suffering, however, is optional.

It’s a choice.

True Self Love chooses not to suffer, but chooses to LOVE – even when it hurts.

It also allows you to grow through pain versus simply going to it or through it.

  • When you love yourself, you’ll get “The Guy” or get “The Girl.”

True Self Love allows you to finally GET YOU. I mean, really GET YOU. And when you do, you’ll no longer feel the need to GET ANYTHING OR ANYONE TO BE WHOLE, HAPPY, OR TOGETHER.

True Self Love redefines TO.GET.HER.

The only guy or girl you’re going “TO GET” here is the one that you see in the mirror.

You’ll finally find yourself versus always (and in all ways) “trying to fix yourself.”

  • When you love yourself you’ll be self-centered and selfish.

This is definitely NOT TRUE...unless you’re a self-centered, selfish person that happens to also love herself/himself. Because IF this is the case, and you truly allow yourself to know you and fall in love with YOU, you’ll no longer feel the need to be self-centered or selfish. Got it?

So, no worries about that, okay?

Focusing on these things is like telling a Genie or Fairy Godmother what you DON’T wish for.

Or like praying to God and constantly complaining.

Or like being a professional athlete and playing NOT to lose!

NO FUN, RIGHT?

My Top 10 List is going to focus on LIVING TO LOVE AND WIN. (Oh, and having a lot of FUN while doing it.)

That way YOU can become the Great Lover Of YOUR Life, love your life + life’s work well, and make LOVE with your life for the rest of your life.

How’s that sound?

So, are you ready?

Reason #10 To Love Yourself: It allows you to be "LIKE-ABLE."

“LIKE” is highly personal.

It allows you to get personal. With YOU.

Therefore your opinion of YOU matters more to you than anyone else’s opinion of you.

Reason #9: It allows you to be "DATE-ABLE."

In order to love you, you must know you. In order to know you, you must spend time with you.

There’s no greater date then the one you LIVE with yourself.

The DATE called, “TODAY.”

It’s YOUR LIFE.

Dating yourself keeps you present. Keeps you feeling. Keeps you healing. WELL.

Reason #8: It allows you to be "DREAM-ABLE."

There’ll no longer be conditions on your dreams.

You dream. You imagine. You see yourself. Truly see YOURSELF, and you become the one you’ve always dreamed you’d BE with.

Imagine that...

Reason #7: It allows us to be "LOVE-ABLE."

We love others as we love ourselves.

This LOVE becomes the limitless (or limiting) factor in our capacity to give and receive IT.

Love isn’t a feeling, it’s a capacity.

However, it’s not a quantity, but a quality.

The highest quality.

Reason #6: It allows you to be "COMMIT-ABLE."

You see your value, become a priority in your own life, and you follow-through with your commitments to YOU (and others — including YOUR LIFE.)

We care for that which we value. Self care doesn’t create Self Love.

Self Love is the ultimate self care and the reason we care.

AND SHARE.

If we truly love ourselves, we'll care for ourselves.

We will care and share.

Reason #5: It allows you to be ENGAGED. Fully Engaged.

Love IS. Engaging.

Love is IN you.

It’s magnetically attractive.

It’s an exponential multiplier.

It creates.

Love IS you.

When you fully engage with it, you’ll FIND YOURSELF. IN LOVE.

Reason #4: Perfect LOVE casts out fear.<...
