Cultivate Your Inner Goddess

I'll mention some items that may want to improve upon. These are personal and only you can decide for yourself if these things are already good or excellent for you. 1. Your relationships. Relationships evolve and change over time. Have you evaluated your relationships recently? It could be a relationship with your friends, significant other, or family members. If you don't find these relationships supportive or enriching your spirit, it might be time to work on improving these relationships. Relationships should be fulfilling and nurturing with people who have your best interest in mind. 2. Your relationship with money. Money, or lack of money can make life stressful, but in my opinion, money is a tool that can be used to make life easier. After you pay for your necessities, if you have anything left over, you get to decide what you can spend it on to make your life easier. You might not enjoy budgeting, but it's an invaluable skill to have and there is usually room for improvement in this area. 3. Your physical health. There are many ways you can improve your physical health. I was surprised that I was eating so much processed food, that some people don't consider food. It's more chemicals and lab created concoctions to keep you eating more. Exercise is also important to help keep you grounded and reduce stress. If your goal is to shift from good to excellent, listen for 5 tips. Thank You Neutrin05's Longing for the podcast soundtrack.

Here are 5 Tips to help you find your voice: 1. Learn to communicate effectively to other people. Articulate your message so that it is clear and easily understood by the receiver. If your message is unclear or confusing, do your best to rephrase it another way so the recipient can understand it. It takes one person to give a message and another person to receive the message clearly. 2. Speak up. Don't fall silent. State your opinions honestly and don't automatically agree with people to appease them. This one is challenging because some people have strong personalities, and you might feel intimidated by them. That's okay because practice makes perfect. You are entitled to your own opinion, which is your opinion, so practice learning to standing firm on that. 3. Learn to ask for what you want or don't want. Other people are not mind readers and might not know what you need or want. If you practice speaking what you want in words out loud to another person, you are much more likely to get it. If you are clear about what you want, it takes the guesswork out for the other person. 4. Start leaving reviews about your experiences with restaurants and stores. I have discovered that Google ratings, Amazon reviews, Yelp, and other feedback tools are a great way to reinforce a positive experience, and also to share feedback if your expectations were not met. That way, your disappointment gets to be expressed and you don't end up holding negative energy within your body. 5. Vote. Your voice is reflected in your political vote. Your chosen representatives make the laws in the area where you live. Every vote counts and it's up to you to express yourself by voting. You don't solely vote with a ballot. As a consumer, you vote by supporting companies and shopping at stores. You vote by supporting them with your dollar, or boycotting them if they do not support your values.

5 tips that can help improve your meditation practice include: 1. Bringing it back to basics. Your mind is accustomed to constant stimulation through television, music, and your phone. Limiting technology may seem like torture, but throughout history people have not have cell phones and survived just fine. The simple, but not easy task of solely concentrating only on your breath and repeating 3 syllables may seem like an insult to your intelligent brain! You are too smart for your own good. 2. Don't take the bait. Once your mind starts to wander, as you know it will… and starts thinking about what's on your to-do list, that incident at work last week, or your plans for your next vacation. Stop It! Stay present. Simply observe your thoughts, however don't get involved with them. Thoughts have a tendency to go crazy, jumping from this topic to that topic. It's entertaining to just watch the thoughts, like a soap opera. 3. Practice in a comfortable environment. Your environment is important to cultivate a successful meditation practice. Physical comfort is important, with a straight spine, so the energy can flow freely throughout your body. Find a comfortable pillow or chair to sit on, otherwise, you'll spend your meditation thinking about how uncomfortable you are. If you meditate in the same spot, your area develops a nice calm energy that you may be able to notice when you enter the room. 4. Find the style of meditation that is a good fit for you. You could choose to do a silent meditation or a voice-guided meditation. A guided meditation is a good place to start. The important part is maintaining a consistent practice. Once you become more advanced, you can try silent meditation. The silence will most likely drive you crazy when you begin, however with practice you will improve.5. Develop a routine. It is more beneficial to practice a few minutes a day, rather than a few times a week for a longer duration. Meditation trains your mind not to go crazy when something happens. Instead of reacting, these few seconds train your mind to respond instead.

What is the Emotion Code and how does it work? The Emotion Code was created by Dr. Bradley Nelson utilizing applied kinesiology in muscle testing to answer questions from your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is your supercomputer. You can go back and listen to episode 8: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind for a refresher. Once the information that lies within your subconscious mind is brought forth to your conscious mind, you are allowed to release it. The process is similar to demagnetizing a credit card. The “stuck'' energy can then be released.

You have many tools at your disposal when it comes to holding yourself and others accountable. What is accountability and why is it important? The dictionary defines accountability as the willingness to accept responsibility for one's actions. I separate accountability into two parts. The first part being self accountability- the willingness to take responsibility for your own actions. The second piece is accountability for others whom you allow into your life. Accountability is a practice that can enable you to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself and others. Let's begin with self accountability. How do you hold yourself accountable when you say you are going to do something? Does it get done? If your New Year's Resolution is to lose 10 pounds and keep it off for the year, will you make time for the gym? Do you have the discipline to create and maintain an eating plan? How will you hold yourself accountable? Ultimately, you are the only person responsible for your own actions, and in this case, the result will be either losing 10 lbs or less. Accountability is an action. Nobody can accept responsibility for your own actions and results other than you. You know this. I know this. You cannot cheat yourself and the scale won't lie. It knows if you are not going to the gym or following your eating plan. The results you get on the scale are a product of your calories in versus calories burned. Taking responsibility for meeting your goals or not is a big step in recognizing that you are the only person who holds the key to either meet or not to meet your goals.

A healthy response to an emotion is to feel and express that emotion, and allow the emotion to pass. Let's take grief for example. If a loved one passes away and you choose to avoid your feelings of grief by avoiding the funeral and work extra, your body and mind will not have the opportunity to process that emotion of grief. The emotional energy is neither processed nor released. If there is too much resistance, or if an emotion is too intense, the energy of the emotion can become stuck in your body, leading to other imbalances. There are healthy ways to express emotions. In my opinion, the best way to process an emotion is to feel it, however that comes with challenge of dealing with feeling your emotions in real time. You could choose to talk about how you are feeling with others. You could exercise to get your aggression out. I believe the worst thing you can do with an emotion is not to process the emotion and repress it. Emotions are signs and signals from your body. They are trying to send a message. Don't ignore them. Emotions are meant to be felt and expressed. It's unnatural to avoid your own emotions and pretending like they don't exist. Like I said, I'm an expert in avoiding my emotions. Emotions are complex and there is no one size fits all for coping with them. Some people have a natural ability to manage their emotions seamlessly. Some folks are highly attuned to their own emotions, and are able to pick up on read other peoples emotions as well. It's very easy for them. For some us, it requires practice and building skills to become better at managing our emotions. The process becomes easier with practice. You might not have even noticed that emotions can cause triggers that may drive you to certain behaviors, including addictions. Thanks to Neutrin05's Longing for the podcast soundtrack

Happiness is a habit that you can cultivate with practice. What are some ways you can increase your happiness? Surround yourself with positive images and people. Their energies will revitalize and motivate you. Do at least one thing each day for yourself that brings you joy. That could be anything from taking a bath to watching a funny cat video. Look for a reason to celebrate. Life can be fun. It is a gift that you can make the most of. Spend time connecting with your relationships. Take time to focus on the present moment instead of worrying about the future or past. If you still insist on searching for happiness, here are some questions that might be helpful to ask yourself: 1. What do I believe would make me happy?2. If I acquired this thing, how would my life change for the better?3. If I lost this thing, how would my life change for the worse?4. Do I truly need this thing to experience happiness?In summary, happiness is a mindset. It is a habit that you can practice and learn to do well. Once you clear away your mind clutter and expectations, you may discover that your inner happiness naturally unfolds. Are you ready to accept the challenge and discover your inner happiness? I believe you can. I believe in you. Thank You Neutrin05's Longing for this podcast soundtrack

Have you ever wondered if an issue you are experiencing is a real problem that requires your effort and attention, or if it is just a distraction? Some issues will automatically resolve themselves and don't require your energy or attention. Other issues are just distractions that don't have real substance. Do you find yourself wasting a lot of time on these? Imagine if you tried to resolve every issue that came your way? You would probably feel exhausted, and frustrated by the end of each day.So, the question is: How do you determine what is a real problem, and what is not? I find it helpful to use two gauges: #1- Is it important?#2- Is it urgent? Thank You Neutrin05's Longing for this podcast's soundtrack

This podcast episode is created at a listener's request about drawing boundaries and learning to practice saying the word “No”. The word “No” can be one of the most empowering words in your vocabulary. This word is highly effective to get what you want, but also to avoid what you don't want. For example, if your schedule is full, you have the option to decline an invitation. It is not necessary to give a reason. A response of “Thank you for the invite”, however I am unable to attend”. You can say that, even if you are not busy, and would just prefer to relax at home. Once you begin practicing saying “No”, it most likely will feel awkward at first. Others will be accustomed to you saying “Yes”, and you might make those around you uncomfortable. You start by training those around you that sometimes you do say “No”. There is a chance of upsetting your friends, or family, however when you stop doing things they want to do, and start doing things you want to do, you'd be surprised to discover how much happier you become. Learning to say “No” is an art as well as a skill. At first, it may seem challenging, and possibly even scary, but test it out and see what happens. You may be surprised that others understand, and are not upset, sad or disappointed when you say “No”.Thank you Neutrin05's Longing for the Podcast Soundtrack

Let's start off by thinking about your past. What outcomes have you achieved? What are you most proud of? How satisfactory are your decisions? Is there anything you wish you could change? You can't change events of the past, however you can change the way you feel about them. Try re-examining the facts from someone else's perspective and see what happens. Do your feelings change?Let's move on to the concept of the present moment. The present is here and now. The only thing that truly exists is the present moment. You can be physically present today by feeling your body and noticing your breath. Relax and take a breath in. Breathe it out. Become fully present. Today is a new day. It holds the opportunity to start fresh. Animals live in the present moment. They only have the concept of the now. They do not worry about what happened in the past, or what will happen in the future.You can learn more about my coaching or energy work offerings at CoachingbyGrace.comThank You Neutrin05's Longing for the podcast soundtrack

Cause and effect. Those are the two sides of the equation. Which side are you on?The effect side- A person on this side of the equation feels that she is a victim of life and that things happen TO her. Nothing seems to go her way. She does not receive the outcomes she wants. She feels helpless and believes that other people or external circumstances control her life.Thank you Neutrin05's Longing for this podcast soundtrack

A New Year. A Time to Welcome a New Version of Yourself.The new year of 2021 has arrived! It's an opportunity to allow the door to close on 2020 and begin a new chapter. Some people choose to make New Year's Resolutions. I used to be one of the “New Year's Resolutioners”, however I manage my goals more often than once a year now. Over the years, I've realized that people joined the gym, went for a month or two, and then stopped going. Gyms know this too! They love people who pay for gym memberships, but don't show up to sweat and get their money's worth. Others will start an eating plan, and give up after one week. Instead of worrying about the reset date of the calendar, why not worry about what you can control, which is Yourself... Today? Thank you Neutrin05's Longing for the podcast soundtrack

Take a moment to answer this question: (You can think about it, or write the answer down.) What is your motivation for giving? Is it any of the above? Is it none of the above? You might enjoy giving, as you find it rewarding to see the delight on someone's else's face as they open your gift. I believe the best gifts are ones given without expectation, or obligation. It's a gift given without being tethered to an outcome. If the receiver offers a “thank you”, that's a bonus, but a “thank you” is not required, if you give without expectation of anything in return. Thank you Neutrin05's Longing for the podcast soundtrack

When I ask that question, who is the first person to come to mind? Is it your sports rival? Is it your coworker who you feel like is constantly trying to one-up you? Is it your neighbor who lets her dog do his business on your lawn and never cleans it up? Would you be horrified if I told you that YOU might be your own worst enemy? You might be asking, “How is that possible, Grace? How could I be my own worst enemy”? Sometimes it's not your actions, but rather the thoughts you have about yourself that are the most destructive.There may be a critical voice inside your head that judges yourself harshly, and to a different standard than you hold others to. It is an internalization of expectations from your parents, society, and yourself. It is often accompanied by blaming, shaming, and judging thoughts. You might repeatedly beat yourself up for a mistake, instead of seeing it as an opportunity to learn and grow. You might be slow to forgive yourself and punish yourself for the past. Your inner critic may make you feel inadequate and unworthy.Thank You Neutrin05's Longing for this podcast soundtrack

Question: What are you holding onto, that may no longer serve you? Perhaps in the past, a relationship, a job, or even emotions served you well, however, today these same things might drain your energy. You may have found comfort in your past- souvenirs, memories, or traditions. You fondly remember your birthday vacations with friends. You framed and displayed photos of you and then your boyfriend in multiple rooms in your apartment. All your friends know holidays are your favorite time of year. Fast forward to the present moment. The past is exactly what it is— it only exists in the past. It exists as a recording in your head. Your present might be an argument with your best friend, a boyfriend who dumped you a year ago, or the passing of a loved one near the holidays. How can fond memories be stark reminders of pain that exists in your life today? How long are you going to carry reminders of your past? More importantly, do these mementos serve your greatest good?Thank You Neutrin05's Longing for this podcast soundtrack

Do you know that your subconscious mind is responsible for 90% of your behavior, and you are probably not even aware of it? What is your subconscious mind? Your subconscious mind is the portion of your brain that runs outside of your awareness. Your brain would be overwhelmed by all the sensory information that requires processing, so only the information relevant for you, in this very moment passes through to your conscious mind, the part you are aware of. I hope this makes sense. In essence, it's a partition of your mind. Thank you Neutrin05's Longing for the podcast music

Five Key Points for Effective CommunicationListen. Really listen to what the other party is trying to say without thinking about how you plan to respond. Pay attention to the words, tone, and body language of the person you are communicating with. Ask yourself: “What is this person trying to tell me?” Attempt to be a receptive. Try not to attack, blame, or criticize the person who is trying to communicate with you. Ideally, you'd want to be able to provide a safe, non-judgemental space, to allow the other person to speak honestly without filtering.Repeat the message you believe you are hearing. Paraphrase what you believe the sender is trying to communicate. This will confirm that you understood the message and provide an opportunity to ask questions to clarify, if needed. For example, “So what I'm hearing is that you need 15 minutes of quiet time after you arrive home to unwind, before I speak to you, is that correct?” The sender will be able to confirm the point of his or her message.People think differently than you do. Keep in mind that people have their own viewpoints and internal representations of the world. Your view creates your reality, and their view creates theirs. The person you are communicating with, might have a different representation of the world than you. Common representational systems are visual (sight), auditory (sounds), kinesthetic (feeling), and audio digital (self talk and making sense of the world). An example of self talk is “I need to process this information”, or “I know exactly what you are talking about”Clarify your message and keep it simple. Use language that gets your point accross without being too complex, or difficult to understand. Keep vocabulary appropriate to your audience. Sometimes simple can be the most effective.Understand your communication style. Men and women have different communication styles. What is the purpose of your communications? Is one person seeking to be listened to, and understood, or is he or she looking for a solution to a problem? Men, in general tend to be direct communicators, and in general, women tend to be indirect. I typically am an indirect communicator. I give hints and clues without directly asking, however, when I know I need to get something done quickly and effectively, I make a conscious transition to direct communication style.Thank you Neutrin05's Longing for the podcast soundtrack

The more we resist and attempt to hide our flaws and imperfections, the more detrimental we are to our well-being and sense of wholeness. Once we learn to accept, and even embrace our flaws, they can become a source of courage, or strength. When we speak about our perceived imperfections, they hold less of a grip on our reality. Instead of our scars being a source of embarrassment or shame, they can become part of our story, by accepting and acknowledging them. Once these stories lose the negative charge behind them, you will notice they don't affect you as much. You lose your attachment to their story. Another misperception I believe that we hold is that others notice our flaws as much as we do. In general, I believe this is not true. I believe we put our own flaws up on a pedestal, energize them, and give them our focused attention. Other people are too busy highlighting their own flaws that they truly don't take the time to admire yours.How can you practice accepting and embracing your flaws? Practice makes perfect. Instead of focusing on all the details of “what is wrong with me?”, instead, choose to widen your lens and view the bigger picture. Focus on your many other amazing qualities, instead of your one or two flaws. Keep in mind, you are not defined by your scars. How much power you allow them to have over you is the attention and energy you choose to give them. If you keep feeding them energy, they will continue to grow. If you cut off the source of their energy, they will dissolve. Focus on your positive traits and forget the thoughts that don't serve you. Be grateful that you are here to enjoy this human experience.

How has your Goddess experience been thus far? Everyone fibbs a little. Some people fib a lot. I don't believe that most of us have malicious intentions behind fibbing.After all, how often have you pretended to like someone, when you truly don't?How many times have you worn a fake smile, when you were sad, or annoyed?How many times have you pretended to be happy, when you felt depressed and alone?The leap from truth into falsehood can be a simple transition. It is easy to lie to ourselves. It takes little effort to bury your head in the sand and live in a state of denial. What can be challenging is to truly reflect upon your true feelings and to be honest with yourself.

A Goddess is the embodiment of power. How might she use her power? Feminine strength includes the qualities of compassion, love, the ability to heal, to forgive, and to connect.What is your definition of feminine power? Your answer may be revealed by your mind, body, and spiritual connection.Women of today, are literal Superwomen. They are experts at navigating work, coordinating childcare, cooking, cleaning, shopping- they do it all, while maintaining sanity. Have you ever struggled to open a sealed jar? Give that jar to a mom, and she'll pop that that sucker open with one hand, while carrying a baby in the other. It's like mom's have super-power strength. I give big kudos to all the moms out there.Femininity, in a cultural context, is the set of behaviors that are taught by society. Being feminine, is the role, one would play. What is the traditional feminine role? History records women as followers of their female intuition, highly emotional, nurturers and supportive. Women were known to be the gentle, harmonious, empathic, and sensitive. What they didn't document is that women were also clever, smart, and ambitious.Queens and empresses reigned over their respective territories. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt is one of the best known female rulers. In Greek mythology, Helen was the catalyst for the Trojan War. Wars over women- Now that's the kind of girl power I am talking about...the power to topple an empire.History has been greatly influenced by women. Some women sought sole power and control. Others co-led with men. Some women pretended to act and dressed like men, so they could partake in activities that women were not to, like fight in battle. Women maintained a sphere of influence, although they are largely absent in historical records.Thank you artist Neutrin05 for your song titled: Longing attributed for this podcast music.

In what ways do YOU feel disempowered? Do you feel taken advantage of because you never learned to say no? Are you feeling overwhelmed because you do everything by yourself, while others don't contribute their fair share? Do you feel like you rarely get the outcomes you want?How do you make the transition to a state of empowerment? Empowerment arrives when you take control of your life. You make your confident decisions, and now live with the outcomes. You are not making decisions that are suited for your friends, family, significant other, or anyone else. If someone truly supports you, they would want what's best for you also.Thank you artist Neutrin05 for your song titled: Longing attributed for this podcast music.

This episode is about your mind, body, and spirit connection. Are you compartmentalized, or are you whole?Is it possible you might be living disconnected?- Your mind might run rampant with thoughts, most of them negative... about yourself or about others. You could possibly be overwhelmed by your own thoughts.Practice keeping your mind in check. When negative thoughts arise, question them. Is this true? Is this always true? Can you think of a time when this wasn't true? Creating a habit of questioning your thoughts will get you out of the funk of allowing your thoughts to run wild. Your thoughts are powerful, and have momentum behind them. What you believe creates your reality. Meditation is a practice that helps calm and train the mind. I will be speaking more about meditation.While you are in bed, before you sleep, spend 3 minutes doing the following:Minute One : silencing your mind. Drop your to do list. Drop the remnants of your stressful day. Silence is golden. Try not to think of anything at all. If you can't clear your mind, You can try repeating the word “OM” in your mind, a vibrationally healing sound. Just repeat OM for one minute.Minute Two: tune into your body. Experience what is happening. What is going on in your gut area? Is there tension? Do you feel your tummy digesting food? Observe what is happening in your heart area. Does your heart feel warm? Does it feel like it's radiating energy? Do you sense your heartbeat? How do your limbs feel? Are your feet cold? Are your neck and shoulders tight?Just observe your body and feel it.Minute Three: Spirit connection: Say a brief prayer of gratitude to whatever higher power you believe in. For example: Thank you divine Creator for this beautiful human experience today. I was blessed to experience peace, love, and joy today. Say this with intention, and you will strengthen your connection with your spirit self.To build this connection habit, it begins with 2 weeks of continuing this daily 3 minute exercise.Are you ready to connect the whole you? I believe you can. I believe in you.Thank you Neutron05's Longing for the podcast soundtrack
