Introduction to Everyday Mindful Podcast

Speaker
Hi, I'm Kylie Wyn Efron. And I'm Nan Cavanaugh, and welcome to Everyday Mindful, a space for real talk on weaving the magic of mindfulness into our daily lives. Let's dig in.
Balancing Summer Plans and Responsibilities
00:00:31
Speaker
Hey, Kylie. Hey, Nan. How are you doing? I'm good. How are you doing? I'm doing good. We are in the summer jam getting ready to travel with my children for two weeks, the longest we've ever been away as a family and just trying to, you know, do the summer juggle school. and camp Camps, kids with more time on their hands, business, um family, all of it. Just trying to keep all the balls in the air. That summer was supposed to be fun, but summer's not very much fun. Yeah. I think it gets more fun when your kids get older. Like my kids, I'm like, I don't even know they exist until like noon when they start starring and I don't have to worry about the juggle. They kind of make their own plans. and
00:01:18
Speaker
um But yeah, it is, you know. Summer can be as busy, as busy as you make it, you know, particularly if you're a working parent, you really don't have a lot of options. Summer will be busy. You have to keep it busy. And also too, I'm, you know, i'm I'm in an industry that is much slower in the summertime. So it's definitely one of those times where we're really like dialing things in, really, it's it work, it ends up being a little bit more work on our end this time of year. And the topic and the conversation of abundance which we're getting ready to dial into becomes even more and more important.
Understanding and Cultivating Abundance
00:01:57
Speaker
It's like how you manage to keep like an abundant mindset in place in a time where there's more going on, you're juggling even more and you're being challenged.
00:02:11
Speaker
more and more. So it's an interesting it's an interesting time and it's going to be a good conversation because that's what we're talking about today. We are talking about abundance. So should we start with one of our definitions? Yeah, let's do it. All right. So definition number one. Abundance means experiencing richness in all aspects of life, from relationships, health, joy to love and personal fulfillment. It is about recognizing the wealth of opportunities available to us and feeling grateful for what we have, even in the areas of our life that might not be related to financial status.
00:02:54
Speaker
To have an abundance of something is to have more than you need. Abundance is the opposite of scarcity.
00:03:05
Speaker
Yeah, ah in in hearing the definition, I think the first thing that comes to my mind is the word or the understanding of need. I think a lot of people confuse needs with wants, but I think we also all have different needs and different levels of ah basic needs. So that's something I wanted to ask you before we kind of dive into this. um you know and abundance in general is just this idea of what are what are what are what are needs? What are the essential needs? you know Is it food, shelter, water, love, connection? Well, I think
00:03:46
Speaker
Everything you just mentioned, in my opinion, is an essential need. I think shelter, food, water, these are things that our bodies need right to function. But I would also make the argument that your body actually is dependent upon love and connection to function. i agree Because the majority of, I believe personally, the majority of our illnesses, the majority of our ailments, the majority of Even just bodily functions not operating correctly source from a lack of love or areas of our life where we have not been allowed to receive the love we need so I do think that's just that love is just as vital as food water and shelter are.
00:04:28
Speaker
I think it is as important as the air that we breathe is. So I do think that those, of course, all fall under the need category, right? I believe that those should be our rights as humans yeah that we have. And then there's the overflow aspect
Joy, Needs, and Material Desires
00:04:44
Speaker
of it. there's the you know I also think that the things that we want can bring us joy as well too. So I think that that is important and it's okay to have things that maybe fall outside of that category, material things that you desire, you know travel experiences, things like that are also really vital because they do bring us joy. Now, do we need them to survive?
00:05:11
Speaker
No, but I would like to believe that we're here to thrive, not just survive. So I think that um ah felt like a focus on joy is also of equal importance. But I was actually kind of really, I thought the idea that it's more than you need. This idea of of having like that abundance, which is something that brings flow of you know love, friendship, money, um the thing that The thing that allows the energy or the frequency of abundance is what allows us to like attract what we love, um what we desire, what we need, and this idea that um it's being in a state of overflow, actually, yeah in all these varying aspects that allows us to like switch into this frequency of abundance.
Gratitude and Abundance Connection
00:06:04
Speaker
So I thought that was kind of interesting, and the idea that it's the opposite of scarcity.
00:06:09
Speaker
This idea that it's the opposite of I don't be it's not attractive. It's not like it's not what I don't have you can't be focusing your energy on what you don't have because it's really about overflow and I think um
00:06:24
Speaker
Sorry, just had some massive thunder. Mama Earth agreed with that statement. Mama Earth did agree with that statement. So I thought, you know, I just think it's interesting that it's this idea of abundance is really about overflow. And it's I think about overflow in a lot of different areas of our life. And if it's flowing in a variety of different areas in our life, we're more able to then concentrate it into whatever area we want to focus at that time. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. I agree. Do you, you know, in thinking about actively cultivating abundance, does it require, I mean, do you in a way have to kind of take stock on a regular basis to cultivate it to in order to feel grateful in order to identify
00:07:18
Speaker
what is you know fulfilling and overflowing in your life in a positive way. um yes Yeah. i I think absolutely. Because A, I think gratitude, a practice of gratitude is one of the key things you need to keep your vibration and frequency high enough to actually attract what you desire. Yeah. um And I think you know cultivating abundance in our lives is really important because like our thoughts, our actions, and our beliefs are what determine its flow in our lives. So if you, it really does um require reflection and moments of reflection so that you can actually cultivate it and you can be continuing to grow it.
00:08:03
Speaker
Now that's not to say we might not have chapters of our life where everything's just kind of flowing. Maybe the money is flowing and maybe the love is flowing and we're in a nice flow state and you may not be thinking every single day like I'm going to sit down and really like reflect on how much abundance I have or have not. But ideally you know you're feeling into it and you're kind of riding the wave of joy that you experience when you're in that more abundant state. And I think that if you're feeling a lot of abundance in one area, it does tend to overflow into the others. And you kind of get into a really beautiful flow state. But part of that
00:08:39
Speaker
But that's not also a wave that's always going to be present. I think that it's really important to know that you're going to have ups and downs and periods of your life that feel more or less abundant. And I think you have to be um like the the key aspect for me and what I believe is that you if you want more abundance whatever area you are trying to attract whether it's financial whether it's romantic whatever area of your life you're trying to bring more abundance into um you have to match the vibration of what that is what you want to achieve you have to match it which means
00:09:22
Speaker
you have to be able to get into a place where you can identify what it is you want to achieve and allow the feeling of that to move through your body. And one of the key ways of doing that is practicing gratitude, right? Because gratitude, the frequency of gratitude is very, very high. And it's been shown that the more you practice it, the more you change your thought process over and the more of that abundant energy that you're able to attract moving forward. But I also think you can't always be in that state. I think sometimes we have this tendency to think like, I need to be positive all the time. If I'm going to be in a state of abundance and if I'm going to match that frequency, then I just got to stay positive and I got to you know just move through this. But I think what ends up happening is you can really fall into a state of bypassing, of spiritually and emotionally bypassing.
00:10:18
Speaker
actual work, like emotions that need to be processed. And so I'm i'm in one of those you know states right now where um I have been trying to allow more difficult and uncomfortable emotions rise up, allowing myself to spend some time with them and sort through them. And so that I can get to a point where I'm getting into more of an abundant mindset again, because generally speaking, I'd say I i have a fairly abundant mindset.
Emotional Processing and Abundance
00:10:52
Speaker
i have ah I practice gratitude on a regular basis. um I allow abundance to flow through my life, but like anybody else, sometimes you go through hardships.
00:11:01
Speaker
Sometimes you go through difficult times that really challenge that. And um I felt myself as I was moving into a more difficult time trying to kind of immediately shift myself out being like, it's okay. We're just gonna be positive. We're just gonna move forward. And I'm just gonna keep my eye on the prize. But I think you can also bypass emotions and feelings that need to be processed. They need to be experienced so you can transmute them so that you can extrapolate the lessons and then move forward. and then get back into that state of raising your vibration. I heard it kind of described as like a law of averages. It's like ideally the majority of the time we're trying to keep our vibration. We're trying to keep ourselves in a higher vibrational state. But when you start to experience those kind of lower vibrational emotions, there they're meant to be experienced. They're meant to be processed through. The idea is you just don't want to sit in them for too long.
00:11:57
Speaker
you want to like extrapolate the lessons, get back up to that higher vibe state. And ideally it averages out ready to be higher vibe more than lower vibe overall. Yeah. And I think like thinking about that process of extrapolation, like it goes back to just that mindfulness practice of curiosity, right? Like examining, asking the question, why, why am I feeling this, but this way? Why am I, Why am I investing myself emotionally in this feeling of scarcity at this moment? what What's at the core root of this feeling? And I think when you ask yourself those questions and you and you do that work, you find answers that
00:12:43
Speaker
are really freeing and really allow you to, like you said, kind of just kind of recalibrate back into that space of um appreciation, gratitude, and abundance. But if you don't ask those questions and you just pretend, I mean, that's what it kind of is, is just like pretending that everything's always great all the time. You're bypassing the healing, basically. You're trying to bypass the healing. like And there there's, you know, I mean, the human experience is complicated. I mean, it is. And there's a lot, ah there's a lot that we have to nag at it and let loss, grief, tragedy. I mean, there's a lot we have to navigate in this world that, you know, you you can't, you can't live in a state of denial, you know, when it comes to suffering in that way, you kind of just have to sit with it and and move through it.
00:13:36
Speaker
Exactly. And I think the key is just allowing yourself, you know, the right amount of time to reflect on it. Having the time to sit with it, to process it, to do a little bit of healing. It's okay sometimes to feel a little angry or mad at the situation and then allow yourself to move to the state of sadness that is required. Try to figure out, you know, ask yourself those tough questions. Like you said, how did I get here? What's going on? What are the lessons I need to take? out of this chapter and then as quickly as possible start to shift back into putting those lessons into place and doing the work and moving forward. um Because I think the, you know, the danger is is when someone goes into that state and then doesn't come out of it. They go into like the state of victimhood where they stay in it and they are like, I'm being punished or
00:14:24
Speaker
They never get to that place that allows them to move out of it. But I think it's, you know, it's so vital for us to go through some of those down waves of energy where maybe we're feeling a little less abundant. Maybe, you know, gratitude is a challenge for us in that moment. So I think like I know for myself when that starts to come up, I know there's something I need to sit with and examine.
Perceptions of Abundance and Happiness
00:14:49
Speaker
and figure out like you know why it's rising up for me. Why am i like why is the universe kind of presenting me with these challenges in this moment? Where's the growth for me right now? What do I need to look at? Just like you said. and Then once I do that, I get back to that place of neutrality that we've talked we always talk about. and Then I'm able to start putting you know action plans in place, start reflecting more on that practice of gratitude and getting myself and my frequency back up to a place where abundance really is
00:15:17
Speaker
starting to flow back through me. And I think it's i think it's a so i think abundance a circular process. It is not a spike up, spike down. I think you know we have to really look at it as this circular revolving process. And once again, we want to stay on the upward track more than we want to stay you know on that downward track. um What do you think, you know, how, what do you think about how are our belief systems interfering or affecting our relationship to abundance? What role does our beliefs play in it? Well, I had like a really pivotal moment as a 16 year old um that I think
00:16:01
Speaker
really shifted my belief system and abundance. um I went to the Dominican Republic on a kind of with a friend of mine, two friends of mine, one of whom's dad was a doctor, ah kind of with the Doctors Without Borders situation to open a hospital in a small village. And we, had you know, got all these donated. shoes and shirts and all these things and brought this to this village in the Dominican Republic and um helped open this hospital over the course of a week. And, you know, this is a small village that, you know, people are living in shacks. The roads are made of dirt. ah You know, it just, you know, just object property. The hospital was at a, oh my God, where do nuns live?
00:16:50
Speaker
like playing mom yeah most now i guess yeah her what nunnery or another honor but It's Friday. um but you know it I went to this place and I'd never been to kind of a developing nation type environment before, not that the Dominican is a developing nation. but Um, but this particular village was, you know, it was very poverty stricken and, um, and under resourced and the people had music blasting out of their shacks. They were so happy and.
00:17:25
Speaker
family orientated and playful and you know and just ah really had an energy of abundance about their lives, even though they had very little wealth or material possessions. And I remember coming back to my big, beautiful home in Florida and just feeling the weight of materialism and the depressive sadness of of that space.
00:18:01
Speaker
and i you know and And just realizing it was like one of those moments where i was it was the moment as a as a child where I realized that financial wealth does not equate to happiness or abundance on a metaphysical plane and it was it was like it was a it was a game changer for me. It was ah it was an energetic game changer for me. um I felt it physically in my body when I walked into the house and it was just like, oh my God, all it was complete paradigm shift. And I don't know, I think that you know we are so much of, ah particularly in American culture, abundance is focused on wealth and possession and material gain. And that is a big, consumerism is a big part of our
00:18:52
Speaker
wanting more and getting more and doing more and being the best is very much American. um and um And part of our belief system that we've all, we've been raised in, and it it makes it hard because you do, like i I find myself feeling, struggling with ideas of scarcity. And I'm like, then I then i like take a pause and I'm like, okay girl. ah You could take a hot shower right now if you wanted to. yeah you know like You've got a dishwasher. um you know like These things we just take for granted. um ah ah We have so much. We have so much in our lives that speak to abundance on the material plane a lot of the times that we just don't even acknowledge because our belief system is so focused on just the quest for more.
00:19:44
Speaker
you know yeah Yes, I would agree.
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
00:19:47
Speaker
And I also think too, like the flip side of that is I think that sometimes we can have very limiting belief, individual limiting belief systems, like ingrained within us. yeah You can think like deep down inside, well, maybe I'm never really capable of actually managing money. So you're never going to manage money. Well, if you actually deep down inside don't think you're capable of it. right um Maybe I'm not really, you know, a maybe I'm not capable of ever being wealthy because you're telling yourself you're not capable of being wealthy. Now that might not be important to somebody else because I, mean and I don't think there's, I think that one can want material wealth.
00:20:29
Speaker
and be happy as long as they don't think that material wealth is what's going to make them happy. You know, yeah it's got to kind of go into the overflow category that it's nice to drive a nice car and it's nice to live in a beautiful home. But if you think that's going to make you happy and if you think that doesn't come with other price tags and additional work and sacrifices that have to be made, you need to be able to really look at those things and understand that. But I do think sometimes people can be held back from achieving things financially and personally because of their limited beliefs, because they don't have an abundant mindset about their own capabilities. I think you see it in you know romantic relationships as well too.
00:21:09
Speaker
If deep down inside you are telling yourself, maybe I'm not worthy of love. Maybe I'm never gonna find you know somebody who really treats me well. Like, why do I keep ending up in this relationship where someone's treating me badly over and over and over again? And this is this is my lot in life. You're never gonna tap into, it's those beliefs that you have that are actually holding you back from attracting what you want because there's no way you are gonna match the frequency that you need to. the vibration of what you're trying to attract, yeah but if you're in that mental state. So I think sometimes it's these like collective belief systems we've had, like what you've just touched on, which is that, you know, we have to make a certain amount of money to be happy. We have to have a certain kind of home to be happy, that we have to have a certain level of professional success to be worthy of something to deserve respect, right?
00:22:03
Speaker
And then there's the flip side of that, which is that sometimes we do have personal goals to achieve something financially or to achieve something personally in a relationship and our own belief systems are holding us back. yeah And once again, I think that's where it becomes really important that like we take those those moments to like reflect on what what are the beliefs that you have? you know yeah If you're finding yourself in a period of time where abundance, let's just say even financially, isn't flowing for you, like asking yourself, like well, what are my beliefs about money? What are my beliefs about my current situation? How do I feel like I ended up here? and it'd be it's You'll hear get curious once again, get back to that mindfulness practice of curiosity. Get curious about
00:22:50
Speaker
what the beliefs you have are around whatever area you're not you know feeling abundant in. um and I think one of those areas that we're going to dive deeper into abundance of money and and thought process around that, but one of the areas that we don't talk about a lot in relationship to abundance is the body. and You posed this question and I'm really curious to dive a little deeper into it.
Body Appreciation and Abundance
00:23:19
Speaker
Yeah. So I was listening to, um, I don't know if you've heard, uh, 10% happier with Dan Harris. Yes. Yeah. yeah So I liked him a lot. Yeah, I do too. I've been listening to his podcast. My mom actually introduced me to him. And in a recent episode, he had a Dharma teacher named, um, Cara lie. think I think I'm pronouncing it correctly. And she talked in it about,
00:23:46
Speaker
how our relationships with our body and this idea of self-loathing when it comes to wanting to get fit and to become healthy is often driven by this idea of self-loathing and how we really need to reposition that and look at our bodies and thank our bodies for the abundance of motion, life, um energy that it gives us every day to sustain all that we do and as we age, you know
00:24:23
Speaker
you know we often feel our bodies are diminishing or dwindling. And the reality is our bodies are just a reflection of an abundance of giving. And we should be grateful that our bodies have had the capability to give in any capacity. I and you know don't want to sound ableist at all. you know If your body can only give a fraction of what another a person's body can give, um That fraction is still what's sustaining your life and how you know in particularly as women and as mothers right like so many of us give birth and I mean it it really wreaks havoc on your body and so often we look at our you know our breasts and how they've changed and our stretch marks and our saggy stomachs and we feel less and we feel self-loathing instead of gratitude for
00:25:23
Speaker
the ability of those parts of our body to have been able to sustain human life and bring it into the world and do that work and and not wear that as like a badge and and honor that. um And I don't know, it's just very interesting to think about just aging as almost a act of abundance when it comes to the body because it it really shows that you have a body that is
00:25:55
Speaker
has been able to sustain and give for a long period of time and is still doing that work. And coming coming back to fitness, you know like yeah you know that we want to care for that that temple space um from a place of gratitude, not self-loathing. And also, too, aging is um a mark of a well-lived life, too, a life that you have lived. um And so I agree with you. i think Being grateful for the fact, especially as women that, you know, if in the case if you've had children that your body has been able to withhold life to birth life into this world. Sometimes our body to is trying to protect us.
00:26:40
Speaker
Sometimes it's even taking a shape that perhaps we don't want in and ah in a process of trying to protect us to insulate us. I actually have a theory that and a belief that a lot of times our body holds onto what I would call energetic weight. It's a level layer of insulation that is trying to protect us. And a lot of times, unfortunately, what it's trying to protect us from is some of the emotional healing that needs to be done. And until we do that emotional healing, it kind of creates a layer of insulation that that stays over you. And um so I think that sometimes even sometimes the body even protects us through injury. It slows us down, yeah puts us in a place where we have to become sickness. We have to get to a place where we can learn how to transform out of
00:27:28
Speaker
the difficult physical state that we're living in. so i i do I think the body is really miraculous and that um we can have a real sense of lack and scarcity um when it comes to how we perceive our body and how we relate to the various stages that it goes that it that it moves through. you know and so so And sometimes I think the most interesting thing, let's say you want to improve your body. Let's say, quote unquote, improve. You think you need to lose weight. Or you think you need to change its shape in some way.
00:28:03
Speaker
I think that sometimes what it needs to be truly loved in whatever current state it is, truly appreciated for any change to even take place, for the body to then start to allow for some of that to shed off, some of that excess weight perhaps that's there. Because if it is not feeling the vibration of love, if it's not receiving that, it is going to hold on tight. Yeah, it's true. It'll cling. It'll cling. And so i it's you know once again, it's about trying to shift your mindset um around loving and appreciating what you have as opposed to what you want.
Non-Monetary Paths to Abundance
00:28:41
Speaker
That is something I started when I started going through this more difficult chapter recently. And look, at you know it's a storm that I will i will weather. like I weather all storms. But um when I started going through it, I had to start really thinking about, well, you know
00:28:55
Speaker
I'm not feeling very abundant right now. It's not feeling like abundance is flowing to me, but my God, I have so much abundance in my life already. I have a closet full of beautiful clothes. Just talking about materially, just materially. yeah A closet full of beautiful clothes that I can touch base in. I have a beautiful home that protects me, that gives me shelter. um I have food on my table. I have a husband who loves me. I have children who love me. I have beautiful friends who support me. you know I have so much already, monetarily, emotionally. And I understand, I don't say that from a bragging standpoint. I think you could have ah a varying degree of wealth in any of those areas, but still have so much. you know yeah And so I think I had to really start shifting and going like, well, I already have so much. So instead of focusing my energy
00:29:47
Speaker
on what I don't have right now or what I'm trying to do, why don't I focus a little energy on appreciating what I have. ah But at the same time, also letting those difficult emotions and anger rise up in those moments that they need to, you know, yeah allowing myself to oscillate kind of back and forth between those states. Yeah, you know yeah. I know about two years ago I started a practice in the morning and maybe I've mentioned it before in an episode where before I get out of bed, before I start running through the million things I have to do in a day in my head, I name three things I'm grateful for and it could be the smallest thing. It could be the biggest thing. It could be my husband next to me snoring away. It could be my, you know,
00:30:34
Speaker
The beautiful armoire, my mother-in-law gifted us in the bedroom, but just three things. And it really does make a difference in how you open your day, if you're opening your day from a place of gratitude and appreciation and abundance. There's a real energetic shift there. And I think there's a lot of science behind it. Google it. There's a lot of science behind it. They have shown if you practice gratitude, you instantaneously shift the brainwave pattern into a different state. And it's easy, man. You're just laying there. I don't have to lift a finger to do this thing. And it takes maybe less than a minute.
00:31:09
Speaker
you know Exactly. Well, I think also too, sometimes when we're really focused on, typically when we're thinking about abundance, let's face it, we're not often being like, I just want more abundance in my life overall, right? That's not typically where we're at. It's like, I don't have enough money, or my body doesn't look the way it looks, or I really want to change the house I'm living in, or the job I'm living in, or I don't have the relationships, whatever it is. And I think what ends up happening is that we're so focused on that one area that we don't realize that it's sometimes we need to tap into the other areas of abundance yeah to actually feed that one area. So I'm going to read another definition. This one's a little lengthier, but I think it really touches on what we're talking about. So this is from Bashar. Bashar is actually is a gentleman who actually channels Bashar.
00:32:01
Speaker
and gives the most, I think, brilliant, intuitive, and mindful advice on the magic of living that I've ever heard. So um this is his definition of abundance. Literally, the ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it, period. That's it. That is the definition of it. And then riffing off that more, sometimes that might require money. And if money is not required if money is required, it will be there. If it is not present, then money may not be required to do what you need to do when you need to do it.
00:32:41
Speaker
Even if you think money is what you need in that moment. Money is not actually what you need in that moment to get there. It's shifting your, it's kind of shifting the direction of where you're focusing on. Then it goes on to say, money is a valid symbol of abundance, but it isn't the only one. When you start to believe that the presence of money is required to do certain things, you shortchange yourself by closing the doors through which other forms of abundance may have brought the abundance to you. if you have a belief that says that certain things cannot be done or that you cannot experience abundance, if it doesn't come in the form of money, when in fact you could be allowing abundance to come to you in many forms, including money, when it is the most effortless form of abundance required for a certain thing. Basically he's saying, find an alternate route. So if you think money is what you need and money isn't there,
00:33:38
Speaker
then money isn't actually what you need in that moment. What you need is something else to get you to a state where money may actually flow. And so it's shifting your you know focus on... He he actually kind of reiterated everything we've talked about, which is like, what are your belief systems? What limiting beliefs you know do you have? What beliefs do you need to change to make the necessary necessary changes in your life to actually start receiving some of the abundance that you desire to. And I just thought that was a really interesting way of looking at it. Yeah, I like that kind of repositions like money,
00:34:21
Speaker
It opens the door to opportunity, right? Like really recognizing that if you are feeling um scarcity in some aspect of your life and are looking to increase abundance, money is such a linear route to anything, but opportunity which can lead to money and and can also lead to you know discounts. It can lead to a million different things if what you're trying to manifest is um you know is related to something you know you could purchase, but if it's ah you know manifesting a lover or ah a partnership in some way, you know just kind of realigning with opportunity.
00:35:04
Speaker
I think we, like you had mentioned earlier, I think we have this tendency to close ourselves off when we've been faced with with the same challenges over and over and over again. And we kind of just lay there defeated versus just opening up, really opening up and acknowledging that there's infinite opportunity in this world at any given moment um if you are open to
00:35:35
Speaker
all the different avenues that are presented every day. Absolutely.
Mindset and Relationships
00:35:40
Speaker
Essentially, it's like, can you allow the belief systems that work in certain areas of your life to work in other areas of your life? like Can you apply your beliefs about love to money? Let's say you're rich in love, but poor in money. Can you apply them there? you know Do you believe you are lacking in one area of your life? like Have you created a limitation? What limitations are you creating with your beliefs, the way you think about things, the way you look at things, the way you move through that continual pattern that keeps presenting itself? Because if it keeps coming up, it's asking you to change. It's asking you to look at something. But sometimes we can't make a change if you don't believe you can make that change. So a lot of times it's really like,
00:36:26
Speaker
Once again, just exploring like what, you know, like identifying like what belief system is preventing the flow of abundance into your life. Like what is that belief system? And then find an alternate route of abundance to get there. Yeah. And yeah so you're still sitting in that frequency, that vibration. You're not just saying, but you're not just being like, but I only want it if you're going to give me this much money. And you know, it's like the idea of just let ah but the vibration of abundance in general surround you, raise your frequency to a point where you can actually then trickle it into whatever area, you know, you want. I mean, so I guess next question is like, how does this apply to matters of like love and relationships?
00:37:12
Speaker
Yeah, that's a good question. I mean, I think, right, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and again and expecting a different result. So I think, again, it goes back to that, like, is there a cycle that you're repeating? Is there an origin story that is guiding your present? Is there you know a belief system that you were that you adhere to that is limiting your ability to um grow and have abundance and love in relationships. Again, it just goes back to really identifying the why and being curious and doing that deep dive within yourself and then and then taking that information and allowing it
00:38:04
Speaker
to move you forward in some capacity, you know, um, letting go. I think it's also a lot of letting go. Yeah, it is. I think I'm letting go and surrender. And I think also being open to the idea that sometimes like we were even limited to how much we can dream to just how much we actually can create, how much abundance we're even capable of having, whether that be monetary. or physical or relational, whatever it is, like being open to the wonders that the universe can provide for you if you're just opened up to alternate outcomes, you know, too. Because sometimes we're limited and just how much beauty we actually can allow into our lives. So kind of surrendering a little bit, like just allowing yourself to be in the flow of abundance and then maybe surrendering a little bit to what shape that abundance takes.
00:39:02
Speaker
It feels like a good spot to yeah have to stop on. Yeah. 100%. 100%. That feels good.
