Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Spunky Spirit,
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,240
I am psychic medium, Carrie Mugs,
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,760
and this week we are gonna talk about
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,060
spiritual self-sabotage.
00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:10,560
So we all kinda know what self-sabotage is.
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,540
It's when we are afraid of things
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:14,960
or we kind of self, we self-sabotage ourselves.
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,120
We unknowingly do things that make it so
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,420
we can't complete our goals
00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:23,060
or we can't do the things that we want to in life
00:00:23,060 --> 00:00:26,180
or that stops us from attaining the life we want.
00:00:26,180 --> 00:00:30,620
Spiritual self-sabotage is the same thing.
00:00:30,620 --> 00:00:32,860
There's a certain goal we want to get to spiritually
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:35,700
or that we're starting to get into our awakening
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:39,260
and sometimes we stop it because we get nervous
00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:42,920
or we get fearful and this is really common,
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,160
especially in the spiritual realm
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,760
because when you're trying to work on your spiritual gifts
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,300
or you're trying to work on your spiritual awakening,
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:54,580
sometimes we can self-sabotage that
00:00:54,580 --> 00:00:56,540
because we don't want change
00:00:56,540 --> 00:00:58,460
and spiritual awakenings and spiritual growth
00:00:58,460 --> 00:01:01,300
make, come with a lot of changes
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:03,060
and we don't, we know, we think what we want
00:01:03,060 --> 00:01:06,580
but then when things start to happen
00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:08,560
because spiritual growth is an inside job,
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,260
then we don't wanna go through the work
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:12,900
or the shadow work or the work to get to the growth
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:16,660
because spiritual growth is,
00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:18,180
we feel like it's an outside thing
00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:19,860
and we feel like it connects us better
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:22,380
but really the connection is within ourselves
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:25,220
and the connection is to our own soul
00:01:25,220 --> 00:01:27,620
which raises our frequency
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:29,080
and makes us spiritually advanced in the outside.
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,080
So what we create on the inside
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,060
is what helps us advance on the outside
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:39,700
and so it's really hard
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,780
because we self-sabotage our spiritual growth
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:45,340
because of fear and fear of change
00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:47,980
and fear of all the stuff.
00:01:47,980 --> 00:01:49,220
So regular self-sabotage is when you hinder
00:01:49,220 --> 00:01:53,700
your own success, right?
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:55,380
So this could be in a relationship
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:57,140
or in a career, in family things,
00:01:57,140 --> 00:02:00,860
you hinder your own success
00:02:00,860 --> 00:02:01,980
because you don't want the change.
00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:02,980
So some self-sabotage in relationships
00:02:02,980 --> 00:02:06,500
is when you don't wanna feel the hurt or the pain
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:09,560
so you break up first.
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,740
I was really, really good at doing that sometimes
00:02:10,740 --> 00:02:13,580
and some ways that we do self-sabotage
00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:18,580
is with procrastination.
00:02:19,380 --> 00:02:22,220
We put it off.
00:02:22,220 --> 00:02:23,060
We say we're gonna do it, but we put it off
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:24,500
and this is with anything.
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:26,300
So a lot of times this self-sabotage stuff
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:28,520
is only not with spiritual stuff too
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480
but with our own lives.
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,660
So if this is like in any corner of your life,
00:02:32,660 --> 00:02:34,980
like your career, which could be a spiritual career
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:37,700
or with your family or with relationships
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:42,700
then this is, it can be in any kind of self-sabotage
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:47,660
but I wanna focus on a little bit
00:02:47,660 --> 00:02:49,540
of spiritual self-sabotage
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:50,940
because lots of people are starting to awaken
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:54,580
or see the number sequences and do the things
00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:56,900
and they wanna do the work 'cause they wanna grow
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:58,900
and they wanna be more spiritual
00:02:58,900 --> 00:02:59,980
but they don't wanna do the deep work, the shadow work
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:04,220
and so that hinders them or stops them.
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:06,700
When in reality, when you come out on the other side of that
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:09,940
it is so beautiful and so worth it.
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:12,860
You just don't feel like it when you're going in it
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:15,460
and when you're doing it, when you're going through the work.
00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:17,620
So probably procrastination is a big one.
00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:22,620
Like perfectionism, it has to be perfect,
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:28,220
it has to be the way you want to.
00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:29,740
And that's the one thing about this
00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:31,660
is when you are growing in a career
00:03:31,660 --> 00:03:33,780
or when you're growing in a relationship
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:35,060
or when you're growing in your spiritual awakening
00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:37,020
it is not going to go, especially in the spiritual awakening.
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:40,240
You feel like this is how it's supposed to go.
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,300
This is the way it's supposed to go.
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:43,700
I'm supposed to learn this thing, I'll buy some crystals.
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:46,660
It's gonna be this, it's gonna be beautiful,
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:48,420
it's gonna be rables and roses
00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:49,500
and that is not how it goes.
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,300
So you get defeated and you feel like
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,100
there's something wrong and so you stop.
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,740
You stop doing the spiritual growth
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:57,940
because it's not perfect and this is where you lose control.
00:03:57,940 --> 00:04:01,820
So you feel like you're at a loss of control
00:04:01,820 --> 00:04:04,340
and for people who need control
00:04:04,340 --> 00:04:06,020
this is really, really hard, really, really hard.
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:08,540
So and also to self-criticism
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:10,180
because you think it's supposed to go a certain way
00:04:10,180 --> 00:04:12,020
in your head, this is kind of like the perfectionism.
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,900
You think it's supposed to go a certain way in your head
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:16,620
and when it doesn't go that way, you wanna quit
00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:19,060
or you wanna stop or you think it's too hard
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:21,340
and this is super common, especially with spiritual growth
00:04:21,340 --> 00:04:24,660
because spiritual growth,
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:26,140
I think I was teaching a class one time
00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:27,780
and one of my students was like,
00:04:27,780 --> 00:04:29,060
'cause I was trying to explain,
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:30,340
you got to do some shadow work
00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:32,420
and shadow work is you gotta love all parts of yourself.
00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:35,900
You gotta figure out how to love all the parts of yourself
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:39,840
that went through the trauma
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:41,300
and all the parts of yourself
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:43,180
that maybe didn't handle the trauma okay
00:04:43,180 --> 00:04:45,580
and you got the, I mean, there's no right
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:48,300
or wrong way to handle trauma, right?
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:49,900
So you have got to love all of those.
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:53,460
So when I was going through maybe some of my divorce trauma,
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:57,620
I have figured out in some of my counseling
00:04:57,620 --> 00:05:00,540
that I don't feel like now I handled it very well
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:04,060
and I look back and see,
00:05:04,060 --> 00:05:06,860
I could have handled that a lot differently
00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:08,620
but that's who I was at the time.
00:05:08,620 --> 00:05:10,560
Now I could stop and stop doing that counseling
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,920
but I know that that counseling is a trigger
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,720
or shadow work that I need to get through
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,040
to help me deal with now
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,440
'cause I need to love who I was during the divorce person
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,400
even though I would do it differently now,
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,120
I need to love all aspects of me to grow spiritually
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,120
because now I'm going to hit a spiritual growth spurt
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,720
or hit a spiritual thing that's gonna trigger
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,560
and I've got to be able to love who I was
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,460
or who I got to be able to love that person regardless
00:05:41,460 --> 00:05:45,180
'cause it's all about loving unconditionally,
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:47,700
especially ourselves.
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:49,180
So now if I go into some sort of spiritual growth
00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:52,420
and I get triggered because of who I was
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:54,380
or how I acted back then,
00:05:54,380 --> 00:05:56,100
I've got to be able to look at that person,
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:58,240
look at that part of me and give myself grace
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,060
and know that I did the best
00:06:01,060 --> 00:06:02,700
instead of just stopping and being like,
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:04,540
okay, I don't want to do this anymore.
00:06:04,540 --> 00:06:06,100
I don't want to confront that
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:07,460
because on the outside of that
00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:09,620
is I've got to face that I didn't handle it very well.
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:13,060
I could have handled it better
00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:15,020
and I've got to do some self-examination
00:06:15,020 --> 00:06:17,640
and even though I'm older
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,000
and I would have handled it different now,
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,180
I still got to be able to love the person,
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:22,840
love who I was then
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,020
because you know what, I did the best that I could then.
00:06:24,020 --> 00:06:26,360
So that's what the self-sabotage is.
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,120
I could get to that part and be like,
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,300
I don't want to do this
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:32,540
and so I don't want to grow any more spiritually.
00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:34,540
Now, why do you have to deal?
00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:36,320
'Cause a lot of people are like,
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,160
oh, that's in the back, that doesn't,
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,980
and I used to be one of those people.
00:06:38,980 --> 00:06:40,420
I used to be one of those people that are like,
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:41,700
you know what, that was in the past.
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:44,300
I want to let that go and just move forward.
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:45,700
But sometimes you have to deal with your past
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,840
to move forward because there's going to be things
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,100
coming in your forward that are going to trigger that
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,340
and you're not going to get past it
00:06:54,340 --> 00:06:55,980
because you didn't deal with it, you didn't process it.
00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:58,580
So I used to be a big believer in let's just move on
00:06:58,580 --> 00:07:03,380
and let's not bring it up and let's not dwell on it
00:07:03,380 --> 00:07:06,020
and I don't.
00:07:06,020 --> 00:07:06,980
If I don't, I'm not going through something
00:07:06,980 --> 00:07:10,020
that I don't need to process that.
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:13,000
So the reason why I needed to process that
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,480
is because I was having issues with family gatherings
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,900
and I needed to process 'cause I thought
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:21,220
that I wasn't good enough at these family gatherings
00:07:21,220 --> 00:07:23,640
or I needed to handle them,
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,800
I needed to control them somehow.
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,460
And it's because of my guilt and my shame that I felt,
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:30,800
this is kind of getting too into me,
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,600
but I'm trying to make it a point
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,880
why you have to maybe dig up some of that stuff.
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,260
I, to get through these present time things
00:07:39,260 --> 00:07:42,460
that were causing me anxiety,
00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:45,180
I had to figure out where they were coming from
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:46,580
and that's where they were coming from.
00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:48,200
Now, do I need to just go into the past and be like,
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,700
oh, remember all that stuff that happened to me?
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:52,740
I need to figure out that stuff.
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:54,300
No, I don't have to bring it up
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:56,540
if it's not hindering for moving forward now.
00:07:56,540 --> 00:07:59,180
But because it was hindering for me for moving forward now,
00:07:59,180 --> 00:08:02,900
it was me self-sabotaging family get-togethers.
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,540
It was me not wanting to get together as a family
00:08:05,540 --> 00:08:08,440
with my family because I didn't like the way I handled it.
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,600
I had some shame around some stuff
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,520
that I had done in the past.
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,080
So I had to figure out how to get past that
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,500
so I could have my family gatherings now be okay.
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,960
So it's not something I just was like,
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,360
oh, I gotta figure that out.
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,000
It was something that that,
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,520
I'm having trouble with dealing with this right now.
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,680
I gotta figure out why
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,760
and I gotta figure out where it comes from
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,120
and I gotta figure out how to love that person
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,540
that made that mistake or did that.
00:08:35,540 --> 00:08:37,200
So that's what we self-sabotage ourselves with.
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,220
We, a lot of aspects were like,
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:42,680
well, I'm just gonna stop having family gatherings
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:44,600
and I'm not gonna grow anymore as a person spiritually
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,300
and I'm not gonna go
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:48,460
'cause I don't wanna do that shadow work.
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:50,420
So that's why we stop.
00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:53,260
That's why our growth stops
00:08:53,260 --> 00:08:54,460
because we don't wanna go, it's too painful.
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:56,920
It's too painful to remember that time
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,860
and it's too painful to remember
00:08:58,860 --> 00:09:01,100
why you did the things you did back then
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:02,900
and so you self-sabotage
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:04,560
and you don't wanna grow anymore and you stop.
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:06,680
And it's same with our work, same thing with our work.
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:09,680
We stop in our careers, we don't wanna go any further.
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:14,680
We tell ourselves we do and we keep going
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:17,120
but then we procrastinate
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,520
or then we repeatedly show up late to meetings
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,560
or we are afraid because we feel like
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,240
we don't deserve the success
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,200
because of the way we handle situations in our past.
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,520
And so this is why we've got to be at one
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,900
with who we are and love ourselves unconditionally.
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,420
We gotta love the part of us that made those mistakes.
00:09:37,420 --> 00:09:40,820
Love the part of us that wasn't always perfect.
00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:43,380
And so the self-sabotage comes with
00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:46,620
constantly trying to control, trying to be perfect,
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:49,740
not thinking you're good enough,
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:51,220
not thinking you deserve to take up space
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:53,260
and everybody else does,
00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:54,700
which so a lot of our empathic traits that we have
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:58,060
are really caused a lot.
00:09:58,060 --> 00:09:59,820
We are empathic and we can feel other people's stuff
00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:01,720
but some of them are caused by some of the childhood trauma
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,200
or some of the stuff we went to when we were younger.
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,880
And some of us had really good lives
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,200
and didn't have any childhood trauma.
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,440
So we are like, but we still seem to self-sabotage.
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,440
We still seem to think we're not deserving of the success
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,840
or we're not deserving of the spiritual frequency
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,280
or higher raise in frequency
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,640
or when we don't deserve to be,
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,760
have those gifts that a medium does
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,560
or we don't deserve to have the psychic gifts
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,740
or we don't deserve in reality we do.
00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:33,200
We are all equal, no one is lesser,
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,820
more superior or inferior than us
00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:38,660
and we all have gifts, spiritual gifts to tap into.
00:10:38,660 --> 00:10:43,300
And what we do is we think we're not good enough
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:46,160
or we think that all of the stuff
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,620
and we self-sabotage ourselves, becoming our best selves
00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:54,980
and we self-sabotage and stepping into our own power
00:10:54,980 --> 00:10:58,220
because we're holding on to this,
00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:01,240
this are not so great selves, not perfect selves,
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,440
not, and we try and control the narrative.
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,400
We try and control how it's gonna turn out
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,920
or I want it to turn out this way
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,720
without going through all this stuff.
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,440
And so, and that's kind of impossible.
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,200
And so we kind of either quit
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,880
or we decide it's too hard
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,760
or we just don't wanna deal with it.
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,560
We don't wanna deal with it.
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:23,400
We don't wanna deal with the change
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,960
because when you spiritually grow,
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,640
there's a lot of changes that happen.
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,420
You lose and gain some friends, different friends,
00:11:28,420 --> 00:11:32,300
different family members
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:33,380
and some of us don't wanna go through that.
00:11:33,380 --> 00:11:35,420
And so, or we don't wanna go through
00:11:35,420 --> 00:11:39,020
what other people are gonna think of us
00:11:39,020 --> 00:11:40,780
or I remember trying to, when I first became a medium,
00:11:40,780 --> 00:11:44,220
I was so fearful of what people were gonna think
00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:46,380
and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was gonna be.
00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:48,580
I created this narrative that was completely crazy
00:11:48,580 --> 00:11:51,820
and honestly, it was like one of the best things
00:11:51,820 --> 00:11:55,940
I ever did and I did lose some friends
00:11:55,940 --> 00:11:59,720
but I gained a whole bunch more
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,720
that believed and loved me for who I was.
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,920
So it's kind of like that.
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,880
We don't want the change, so we procrastinate
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,200
and we particularly stop ourselves from growing
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,840
or we say I can't afford to go to counseling
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,440
or I can't or I don't want to do the meditation
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,920
or I don't, and a lot of times too,
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,840
since I brought up meditation,
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:23,880
I wanna talk to you about this.
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,520
A lot of people are afraid of their spiritual growth
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,580
because they're afraid of the dark side
00:12:28,580 --> 00:12:30,780
of not just their inner soul,
00:12:30,780 --> 00:12:33,080
but the dark side of lower frequency of spirits.
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,700
They're afraid of the scary paranormal stuff
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:40,460
that they're gonna be able to see
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:42,100
or they're gonna be able to.
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:43,700
So a lot of times when you confront that stuff,
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,140
a lot of times it's your own stuff
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:48,540
inside of you trying to come out
00:12:48,540 --> 00:12:50,300
and a lot of times it can be
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:52,340
outside spiritual frequencies trying to mess with you
00:12:53,460 --> 00:12:56,760
because there are good, everything, just like people.
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,520
There's good and bad spirits and good and bad,
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,640
good and bad people and good and bad spirits
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,200
and when you are at a higher frequency,
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,540
then you can, for instance, when people sometimes
00:13:06,540 --> 00:13:11,040
are starting to meditate,
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,680
they don't like the feeling of meditation.
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:14,580
They don't like the feeling of kind of coming
00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:17,320
maybe out of your body or feeling the higher frequency
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,400
and so they stop.
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,600
And the thing is, is that's something
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,380
you have to work through to, it's not always a bad thing.
00:13:24,380 --> 00:13:27,900
It's just different.
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:29,620
We're not used to it, right?
00:13:29,620 --> 00:13:31,020
So we think, okay, I'm not used to this,
00:13:31,020 --> 00:13:33,180
I'm not sure what this is,
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:35,220
so I don't wanna do this anymore.
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:36,300
This makes me feel uncomfortable.
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:38,140
And so we don't like that uncomfortableness
00:13:38,140 --> 00:13:40,980
and I'm just telling you two, paranormal stuff,
00:13:40,980 --> 00:13:44,580
you are so much stronger than any of those lower frequencies
00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:48,020
and you can step into your power
00:13:48,020 --> 00:13:50,540
and you have so much more power than them
00:13:50,540 --> 00:13:53,720
and a lot of times it's not even that,
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,880
it's just that it's something different,
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,760
it's something that's uncommon
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,400
and we feel a certain way or we,
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,840
and so we get scared and so we shut it down completely
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600
and that's exactly, that's not really what's happening.
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,680
It's just that you're not used to stepping into your power.
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:10,440
You're not used to stepping into this higher frequency
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,400
and it's uncomfortable.
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,720
It's not the way that you like to feel
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,080
and because sometimes you feel like a frequency raise
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,460
or you feel a vibration
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:22,580
or you feel a certain way during a meditation
00:14:22,580 --> 00:14:24,380
and some people get nervous and they get scared
00:14:24,380 --> 00:14:26,640
so they wanna stop.
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,880
And so that's the same thing as like doing inner work.
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,360
You don't wanna feel that.
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,100
You don't wanna feel that uncomfortableness
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:35,280
and most of the time that's why we self-sabotage
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,260
because we don't wanna feel that change
00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:40,600
or that uncomfortableness and I'm telling you,
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,060
if you knew the power that you had
00:14:43,060 --> 00:14:44,780
or you knew just what your light was like
00:14:44,780 --> 00:14:48,260
and what you bring to the table and how powerful you are,
00:14:48,260 --> 00:14:52,400
it's every superhero's journey, right?
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,720
They call it the superhero's journey.
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,720
You grow up or you're in an uncomfortable circumstance
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,720
or a comfortable circumstance
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,520
that you don't really wanna change
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,760
and then you go through this kind of growth thing
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,760
or spiritual thing or very super powerful thing
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,760
and this trial that you have to conquer
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:16,620
and then when you get at the other end of it,
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:18,260
you come out being so much more,
00:15:18,260 --> 00:15:21,200
every movie, every superhero journey is about this.
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,960
They're all the same.
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,320
They're all like you start out being kind of a nobody
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,360
or nobody knows you
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,480
or you're in a mediocrity, secret situation
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720
and then you go through this big trial
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,640
and you go through this,
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,120
you really test yourself and see who you are
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,360
and you overcome this obstacle
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,680
and then you become the superhero
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,040
because you find your strength and your power
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,020
and this is everything in life.
00:15:46,020 --> 00:15:48,980
This is if you want to create anything successful
00:15:48,980 --> 00:15:51,940
in your career or in your relationship
00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:53,580
or on your spiritual journey,
00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:55,060
you are going to embark on a superhero's journey, you are
00:15:55,060 --> 00:15:59,380
and people don't like the middle part.
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:01,780
They don't like the uncomfortableness.
00:16:01,780 --> 00:16:03,480
They don't like the, so they self sabotage.
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,640
They say they're not good enough to do it
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,180
or they're not peril-free enough or they give up
00:16:09,180 --> 00:16:12,260
and to reach the superhero, superhero outcome,
00:16:12,260 --> 00:16:16,660
you have to get past the middle of the journey,
00:16:16,660 --> 00:16:19,520
the part that's the hardest.
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,040
And so don't give up, don't stop
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,920
just because it feels uncomfortable
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,480
or don't because there were times during this
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,160
mediumship journey that I was like,
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,680
I don't really want to do this.
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,320
And there are still times that I'm like, oh my gosh,
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,680
do I have enough in me to do this part?
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,480
Do I, it's like once,
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,080
and that's the thing about spiritual journey
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,760
or spiritual growth is once you conquer one superhero journey,
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,360
you gotta go to another one.
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,740
Just like any superhero, there is always a villain.
00:16:45,740 --> 00:16:49,160
There's always another villain that you have to fight
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,000
or conquer and that's just kind of what this is.
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,360
There's resting periods, but there's just always this.
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,420
And so when you give up,
00:16:56,420 --> 00:16:58,180
that's when you kind of self sabotage
00:16:58,180 --> 00:16:59,700
because you're just not up to doing the middle part, right?
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:03,280
So your superhero journey is an amazing one
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,980
and you just have to, every superhero
00:17:07,980 --> 00:17:10,400
has to figure out their power,
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,520
has to tap into their power and you all have it.
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,080
You all have it, we all have it.
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,560
So the ways that you can get through this
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,760
is knowing that there's gonna be
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,340
uncomfortable parts in the journey.
00:17:20,340 --> 00:17:21,760
And you can rest for a minute.
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,300
You can be like, okay, I need to take a break from this
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,760
and you can rest for a minute, but don't give up, don't stop.
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,020
And understanding what your weakness is in your strengths,
00:17:29,020 --> 00:17:33,880
every superhero has a weakness and a strength.
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,840
And they don't, they use their strengths.
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,680
So Superman, his weakness is kryptonite.
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,720
So he stays away from it.
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:44,700
He knows he needs to stay away from it.
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:46,000
Now he knows that that kryptonite comes from his own planet,
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,440
something that's inside of him, right?
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,000
But he also knows that it's hard to survive it.
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,860
So he knows that it's not something he can overcome.
00:17:54,860 --> 00:17:59,560
So he's gotta stay away from it.
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,200
And knowledge is power.
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,720
So if you know, okay, just like I knew,
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,320
I didn't know at first that my family gatherings,
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,360
I was struggling with them.
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:10,640
I didn't know it was because of something
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,160
that I dealt with in the past,
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,000
but on my journey, I realized that it was.
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,280
So I had to conquer that thing that happened,
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,440
or the thing that I went through during the divorce.
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,720
I had to conquer it and love myself regardless
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,960
so I could get past it now.
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,480
And that's kind of how the,
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,320
but I know that that's my kryptonite now.
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,880
So I know because I knew and because I've learned it,
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,200
I know how to, I know how to navigate it.
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,480
And I know how to,
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,320
if it's something I need to stay completely away from,
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,760
or, and I need to develop a boundary around that,
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,920
or if it's something that I can ease up
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,280
and kind of contribute.
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,480
So would my, so would the kryptonite make me be like,
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,480
okay, I'm not gonna have any more family gatherings
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,240
because this is what causes me to have anxiety.
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,000
Or do I want to have family gatherings
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,460
and figure out how to make it work for me, right?
00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:02,920
So Superman knew kryptonite wasn't gonna work for him.
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,520
So he's gotta stay away from it.
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,560
And, but he does know that he can conquer other things
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,840
and become aware of that and, and go around that, right?
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,520
So that's kind of how our spiritual journey is.
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,040
We know, and that's what the kryptonite kind of
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,120
honestly symbolizes our boundaries.
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:22,960
So we can create, this is what I don't want to happen
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,840
or this is what I don't want to do,
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,420
but I know I can't give up.
00:19:28,420 --> 00:19:29,680
I can't give up.
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,560
So the way that you can get through some of this,
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,000
the superhero's journey without self-sabotaging
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,600
is boost yourself esteem, know that you are so powerful.
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,520
You have all that you need already inside of you.
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,680
And I say that over and over again because it's so true.
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,720
And if you need to go to counseling
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,080
to work through some of those boundaries, do that.
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,580
If you need to do words of affirmation
00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:53,000
and continually tell yourself every day in the mirror,
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,240
I am enough, I am good enough
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,920
and tell you absolutely believe it.
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,720
I used to hate words of affirmation
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,080
'cause I thought that they were a bunch of BS,
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,780
but they're not, they're absolutely true.
00:20:02,780 --> 00:20:04,920
If you can look at yourself in the mirror every morning
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,160
and look in your eyes and say, I love you,
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,400
you are good enough, they start to work
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,720
because your mind starts to believe it.
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,960
So affirmations are huge.
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,080
And befriend yourself, which means love yourself.
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,360
Every single freaking part of yourself,
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,800
the back part that didn't handle situations very good,
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,560
the past parts, the past parts that went through
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,920
all of that, the good and the bad of you,
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,600
the good and the bad.
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,000
You have to love and be your best friend.
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,880
And sometimes we're our worst enemy.
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,800
Sometimes we, like I can sit to a friend
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,800
and say this and this and this happened
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,320
and I am so down on myself and my friend can be like,
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,640
but you gotta remember this and you gotta remember this.
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,640
You need to be your best friend.
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,240
You need to talk to yourself like you would a friend
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,000
and say, give yourself some freaking grace on this.
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,720
Really, honestly, be gentle with yourself.
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,600
Make small goals and really,
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,880
and instead of just making a goal,
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,560
make little action plans, little tiny baby steps,
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,320
not the whole elephant at one time,
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,560
but little tiny baby steps to get there.
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,120
The things that you are capable of doing,
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:10,720
things that you know that you are gonna be
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,280
out of your comfort zone,
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,880
but that you're gonna be able to do.
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,520
Really small baby steps.
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,640
Like if you have a hard time getting out of your house,
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,820
then don't make one of your goals to go to a big party.
00:21:20,820 --> 00:21:24,160
Make one of your goals to go for a walk around the block.
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,560
Like know what your boundaries are.
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000
Know what you are capable of doing
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,760
and go a little bit above and beyond that,
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,600
not a whole bunch at a time.
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,480
And make small changes 'cause we all, all hate change, right?
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,480
So instead of like saying, I am going to,
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,120
it's just like working out.
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,200
I'm gonna start, if you like put a whole big,
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,400
I'm gonna do this strict diet
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,120
and I'm gonna do this exercise every day
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:51,440
and then you do it for three days and then you're exhausted.
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,640
So don't do that.
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,880
Just say I am going to change up my lunch
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,720
and I'm going to go for a 10 minute walk.
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,280
So spiritually just be like,
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,000
I am going to meditate for two minutes
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,240
and it's gonna be in the shower.
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,680
Or don't wake up one day and say,
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,760
okay, I'm gonna meditate for one whole hour
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,040
and I like don't just do little tiny things.
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,320
Just do, I'm going to do a self meditation
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,720
or a guided meditation for five minutes every day.
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,640
It doesn't have to be an hour
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,880
and I'm gonna do it on my walk
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,440
'cause you can have active meditations too.
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,880
The best meditations I've ever had is during runs
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,680
when I used to run and I was training for a marathon.
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,120
So know your strengths, know your weaknesses
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:38,720
and don't, I mean, you wanna work on your weaknesses
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,680
but you don't, if you know you're gonna fail,
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,560
if you know it's kryptonite
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,560
and you're not gonna be able to get past it,
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,280
then don't mess with it, don't mess with it.
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,080
And know your own power, really.
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,640
I, this is the one that I just wish you knew.
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,160
I wish you every day,
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,320
I could just let you know how freaking strong,
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,840
powerful you are and how loved you are.
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,880
If you could see your light, everybody has a light.
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,880
Everybody has the light,
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:10,960
it's either your aura or your light of Christ,
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,600
it's part of the creator.
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,280
If you could see that, you would know,
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,120
you would know how unstoppable you are.
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:19,080
If you could see your spiritual team behind you,
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,480
you would be so unafraid of things.
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,440
You would be, have no fear
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,680
if you knew the power and strength you had spiritually
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,120
and the power and the strength you had
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:32,440
behind you every single day.
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,760
You would know your strength
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,240
and you would know your worth
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,400
and you would be unstoppable.
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,160
And so that's what I want you to remember is know your power,
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,600
step into your power and love who you are,
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,600
all parts of you because you are so deserving
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,280
and so, so worth it.
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,200
So I just wish you could see the parts of you
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,000
that your spiritual team sees or that other people see
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,560
because it's amazing.
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,560
So I hope that helps.
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,840
I hope that helps you get past your spiritual blocks
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,840
or your spiritual self-sabotage
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,920
because you freaking got this
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,920
and you have everything you need already inside of you.
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,000
So, and I teach a class this,
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,160
I think April 20, I can't even remember the date.
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,800
I think it's the 26th, the 20, around the 20th,
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,920
April, it's a Thursday night.
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,400
And I teach, it's a local class stepping into your power.
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,080
I also do have an online class coming up May,
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,640
I think it's second.
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,600
And it is an online class about your spirit guides
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,080
and how you can connect to them
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,720
and how they can help you on this journey.
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,520
So one's online, one's in person if you're interested in that
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,080
because your spiritual guides are there,
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,920
they want you to step into your power.
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,720
They want you to know that they're around.
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,400
So I love you guys so much
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,800
and I will talk to you guys next week.
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,240
