  • The Secret to Manifesting Your Good

    The Secret to Manifesting Your Good
    Nov 29 2022
    •  We're always a work in progress and that's okay, right? I'm not perfect. Most times I catch myself and I'm thinking, oh my gosh, I've got this underlining belief and wow. But the difference is now I know some of the tools that I need to do to clear up the disharmony. Like I can move forward. I can recognize that in myself and say, okay, all right, Kristi, that was a great realization, but you know what? You have a choice. I mean, you're never stuck. You're not a tree, right? Jim Rohn. You're not stuck. You're not a tree. You don't like where you are. Change it. You're not stuck. You're not a tree. You don't like your relationship, change it. If you don't like the money that you're making right now, change it. If you don't like the job, change it. You don't like the house, change it. You are the creator of your reality and what you think about, you bring about. (04:27)•  It was as though everything and everybody responded to her words of praise. People started showing up differently. They started treating her differently. New supply began to pour into her through gifts as increased income and as materials needed to add another room to her house. And within a short time, the room had been completely debt-free, debt-free. In fact, she personally did most of the work. She has used this as a meditation room ever since. She said it all began the day she started to thank and praise, give thanks, do thanksgiving for the good that she already had through positive affirmations, through positive words. So it's just a reminder every day in this time, all the time, as much as you can, instead of feeling like you're trying or you haven't arrived, take a step back and give thanks for everything you have. (06:58)•  But that was because I decided, you know what, I didn't like exactly where I was in my life, there had to be something else out there. I didn't know what it was, but I knew that I wanted a different way. I knew that I wanted a different type of income. I knew that I wanted to be able to live a freedom-based life. I can work from anywhere. I can do this business from anywhere. I knew that I wanted to help a lot of people know their worth and step into the person that God created them to be. And using hair products that make you feel better and more confident, that's a big deal. That's a really big deal. I have so many people that reach out to me and say, you know, thank you so much for sharing these products with me, I wasn't confident in my own skin. Now my face is clearer. I feel younger. My hair looks better. I was able to take out my extensions. You know, all these types of things. And so, it's like these messages I get all the time, and it's just being able to like dream bigger. (11:26)•  So you want more good in your life, more goodness, more blessings? You have to be that blessing. You have to be living in gratitude. You have to see everything as abundant. And you know what? Let me just say this, you may have a day where you don't feel like it and it's okay, don't beat up on yourself. Okay? It's okay to have that day. It's okay to fill those emotions. Know that it's coming up for a reason. Get your journal out. Start journaling, work through those emotions. But you know what? You have a choice. You don't have to stay there. You don't have to stay there. Staying stuck is a choice. Staying stuck is a mindset. You can choose to think differently. And one of the best ways to get out of a funk is to start thinking about everything that you're already thankful and grateful for, everything that you do have. Everything that you do have, my friend, because I'm sure you can find good in what you already have. There has to be some good, right? You can find some good in every day. Focus on that. Focus on that. Your life will change.

  • Lynnsey Robinson: How to Identify Limiting Beliefs That Are Holding You Back

    Lynnsey Robinson: How to Identify Limiting Beliefs That Are Holding You Back
    Nov 15 2022
    • So, when you're born, I'm going to go right back to the birth, okay? When you're born, let's just pretend that your mind is a circle. We don't, it's abstract, it's metaphysical, but the mind, not the brain. We'll just pretend it's a circle. When you're born, so just picture a circle, all you're born with is the fear of loud noises and the fear of falling. Those are the only two biological fears you have. And then of course you have the lizard brain, which is the fight or flight freeze and all of that stuff. So, when you're a child and you're just growing up, your mind is, this is why they say kids are sponges, right? They just take in everything because they don't really have a filter of what's true and what isn't, what's reality and what isn't and what's fantasy. And that's why they're so connected with their imagination. Anything's possible, right? And that is exactly what's happening. You really do have no distinction between what is true and what isn't. So during that time, they say between the ages of like zero to seven or eight, sometimes even nine, we'll just say nine to give it a nice container of time. But around age nine, you get what's called the critical filter or the critical mind, which acts essentially as a filter between the conscious and the subconscious. (02:05)• This is a big, big example. But if your parent always said, you know, money doesn't grow on trees. What do you think we can afford everything? We're not made of money kind of thing. You have to work hard for it. Well, guess what? Of course you're always going to have to work hard for it. You're going to think it's hard and it's unattainable. Same thing with love. Same thing with success. Same thing with anything. You have a terrible breakup. Your subconscious is like swear off all relationships, right? Or, attract the same relationship over and over again, because there's something there that needs to be healed. And there's something there that needs to be looked at and examined and acknowledged, you know? Yeah. So I'm saying a lot of things, but basically the way that's that we get limiting beliefs, big basic, basic, basic is that a ground zero of love and, you know, misguided help. It has good intentions. It really just wants to keep you safe. Your subconscious mind's one directive is to keep you alive, keep you breathing, keep you chugging along now, happy, fulfilled, successful, you know, loved. (06:05)• Well, I like to make it as simple as possible. So if you've ever started something and didn't finish it, even though you really wanted to finish it, there's probably a limiting belief. If your life right now isn't reflective of what you journal about and what your affirmations are and what you're trying to manifest right now, then there's probably a limiting belief in there. It's not always a huge one. It can just be a simple one. It can just be a little one, but it is enough. I mean, you're saying you're talking about 95% of your mind saying, no, no, you can't because whatever the reason is, no, you can't lose weight because you know, when you were 15 and skinny, someone hit on you and it was uncomfortable, you know, whatever. I've heard so many reasons or reasons, big quotes on reasons in the subconscious for, for you not to have what you truly consciously desire, all desires and goals and wants must start in the conscious. You get an idea in the conscious, it checks in with your subconscious mind. And if there's anything in the subconscious that's like, no, that's not safe, it's cool, we'll stay right where we are. Then it's just not happening because you have 95% going up against five. Yeah. And it's not to say that people don't do stuff, like it's not to say it's impossible, but I like to use this kind of imagery here. If you're trying to change a subconscious belief consciously, it's like chopping down a tree vertically, right? You'll get there eventually. You'll, make it happen. Your 5% is not zero, right? But it's going to be painful. It's way more difficult than it needs to be. (10:35)• Invite gratefulness, invite more ways to witness gratitude in your life. That is a good affirmation that I use for a lot of people who just don't know where to start, you know, I am opening to recognize. I recognize all the ways that my life is beautiful. And you'll start to... That's a training of your brain and you start to notice around you like, Oh, I never noticed that before, my grass is really green in my yard. That was a metaphor, and also you can take it literally because I am obsessed with my grass. I love that. My grass is really green in my yard. That's so good. Grass is so green in my yard guys. But anything, you know, do you have food in your fridge? And that's a big one for me, and I know it's kind of like cliché and it's a throwaway one for some people but I did not grow up with a lot of money, I grew up making like the weirdest combinations of whatever we had in our kitchen because I we just didn't we ...

  • Stop Just Surviving and Start Thriving

    Stop Just Surviving and Start Thriving
    Nov 1 2022
    • It's so interesting out of all of the books that I've read, and I was going through my office the other day and I was like, Wow, I really have a lot of books. I have a lot of books, and I've read a lot, and not only do I have paper backs, but I also have Kindle too... And I thought about this, I'm like, out of all these books, pretty much every single one, one of the common denominators of every single one of these books, is talking about how to live a more joyful life, how to manifest what you desire, how to get vibrational harmony with that which you wish to manifest, how to increase love, all the things. Even how to get to a healthy weight. Really, it is to appreciate what you have now. Is to be in gratitude. Is to not constantly look at the next thing that you have to tackle and the next thing and the next thing, just like the episode 101 Podcast with Brianne, she talked about living a treadmill life, just going from the next goal to the next goal to the next goal without stopping and really appreciating what she already had. And the common denominator of pretty much all these books that I've read is the same thing, they always talk about gratitude, they always talk about how important it is to be grateful. To think... And not only just think about all the blessings and riches that you already have, but to really feel into them. Stop and just take a moment and think, Wow, look at this house that I have, look at this roof over my head, look at the food in my fridge, the running water, the shoes on my feet, the clothes on my back, the car I'm driving, my cellphone, electricity. There's so many things to be grateful for. (13:14)• So stopping and taking an appreciation for what you do have in your life is so, so powerful. And I want to encourage you that, hopefully you're doing this, because I've talked about this on previous episodes about, before your feet hit the ground, think of three things that you're grateful and thankful for. But if you got out of the habit, I want to encourage you to start doing that again every single day in the month of November. And if you have been doing that everyday and that has become a normal daily habit for you, go up it to thinking of 10 things. So getting in the habit. Before you hit the ground of thinking of at least three things that you are thankful and grateful for, that's going to set the tone for your day, that's going to set the emotion... The feeling for the day, right? And I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for listening to this podcast. Thank you for sharing this podcast. Thank you for implementing the tools that I've shared because, my wish, my dream, my goal for you is to live a life that you enjoy waking up to. And if there's something in your life that you desire to have... To know the tools, to be able to feel supported to manifest what you desire, to clear any of the junk, to clear any blocks, anything that's standing in your way, so that you can show up fully and really, really live how you want to live. (07:04)• If you think that somebody else's success is not possible for you, my friend, that's only because you would believe... You would have to believe, have to believe, that God plays favorites. That's the only way... You would have to believe that God plays favorites. And if you don't believe in that, then you know that somebody else's success can be yours too. It absolutely can. So I really try to energy clear if I hear anything like that, I'm like, Nope, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel. Because I don't want to allow that to affect my energy. It's just like this business man was saying, people walk around complaining, complaining, complaining, but he was still prospering. It's just like the book, Think and Grow Rich with Napoleon Hill, he talks about people in the Great Depression still prospering. We can have a poor mindset, we can have a rich mindset, we can be innovative. We can say, Hey, things are changing. But what could I do to be on the cutting edge? How could this help me grow? What could I do instead? How can I learn? How could I do things differently? Instead of saying, Oh, whoa, is me. Everything's expensive. Everybody else is feeling this way. I guess it's just not in the cards for me, I guess I'm just not meant to be successful, you know... Everybody hates their job. Everybody hates their life. Complaining is normal, right? Make complaining, abnormal. That's what we need to do. (11:56)•  You are worthy and deserving. You are enough, I mean, that can change the world, that can change that person's life. So, maybe thinking this month, like getting out of your comfort zone, expanding your goals, expanding your dreams, expanding your volunteering, expanding your new support to others, expanding maybe how you show up, letting people know more about how much you appreciate them, how grateful you are for them, giving people compliments, spending this month just being the best version of you that you can be...

  • Uncovering Your Blocks to Receiving More Money

    Uncovering Your Blocks to Receiving More Money
    Oct 18 2022
    • Because we coach and train our team on law of attraction, on how to get your mind right, how to get your energy right, your state right before you take action in your business, which like we talked about before. I mean, if you take action from a place of not feeling confident, of not feeling like things could happen, of not feeling like your dreams are possible, that your business could grow or you can't make the money that you desire, then you're going to have a totally different outcome than when you take action from a place of belief, from a place of excitement, from a place of curiosity, to a place of... What if this happened? Right? (02:06)• But basically it says How Emotional Freedom Techniques, EFT, which is what I call tapping, can help you clear the path to making more money. And it breaks it all down, the mind-body connection to money. Our earliest memory of money. Which is your money paradigm? How you really feel about money. It uncovers any traumas around money, and I also like this one chapter, it says breaking the cycle of always striving. So if you ever feel like you're always striving but you're never arriving, it can be some subconscious limiting beliefs in there. And so she really helps you to uncover anything holding you back. (04:19)• For so many years that kept me broke, stuck and unhappy and a lot of weight on my shoulders, thinking I had to do it all. Gosh, that's a lot of responsibility, right? And even recognizing that in myself, even today, even through all the practices and all of the studying and the tools I've used on myself, to realize that sometimes those patterns still try to come through where I'm like, I'll just do it, I'll just take care of it. If I want something, I need to do it and not lean back and allow other people to support me. So that's something that I've really worked through and continue to work through, is just having that mantra and being open to being a great receiver. And then we have that mantra at the beginning of the podcast, you know I'm receiving now? I find myself really, really favoring mantras that talk about receiving, because I feel like that was my vow. I think there's a lot of people in the world that have unconsciously taken that vow and they're working so hard, so many hours, overwhelmed, burnout, trying to manifest things, trying to reach that goal, or just trying to survive the day, and not realizing that life could be easier if they would just lean back and learn how to receive. (07:52)•  And then on this journey called life and these bumps in the roads, that's just allowing our soul to grow, that's just giving us that soul growth and teaching moment, and it can be beautiful. It's just in really how you look at it, you know? That's why I like to say you never fail, it's just an opportunity to learn and grow. Right? But I have been doing one of Margaret Lynch's tapping pretty much every day. And then, reading the book and we're discussing it on the book club. So hey, you may want to check out this book, it's really incredible, and I'm really enjoying doing her tapping's and diving into this book. And you know, if you feel like you need support and you need that community of people to lift you up, support you, hold you accountable, maybe you're wanting to have more income flowing into your life from multiple sources, reach out to me. Let's talk about maybe you joining my team, my beauty business, being able to be coached by me one-on-one, being able to have multiple streams of income, being able to be in a group of supportive people who encourage you to dream big.

  • A Simple Formula to Create a Joyous Life for Today, Not Tomorrow with Brianne Ligori

    A Simple Formula to Create a Joyous Life for Today, Not Tomorrow with Brianne Ligori
    Oct 4 2022
    • And so for me, it was like a bit of a rewire that needed to happen so that I can start to feel my own definition of success. So redefining what success meant for me was all about understanding who I am, what I want, and starting to make choices to live by that. So that was sort of a huge pivotal moment in my life where I realized there is more, and it's not just about collecting a bunch of stuff, it's about living a meaningful life. And so from that moment on, I made it my mission to really understand how do we get there, how do we get to this place of living a more joyous life in the moment. I started to kind of reflect on people that I was leading in the organization I was at, and people that I was coaching all over the world, and I was starting to see sort of a pattern emerge. So many of us were living in the same place where we're defining success based on the outside, and it created this sort of what I call TGIF mentality. (03:12)•  So that is the solution that I was after, after I had this sort of life epiphany. I started interviewing people all over the world, I started sort of trying to uncover what are the factors that go into our joy today? How do we create a TGI today life instead of living this TGIF life. And that is where the TGIToday formula was born, and this is the formula that's in my book, planning your TGIToday, and it is all about helping us get to this place of happiness today. So I would love to share that with you. So listeners, grab your pens, the TGIToday formula is Purpose plus People, plus Pace, and it all sits on a foundation of the power of Choice. So when we look at our purpose, what we're here on earth to achieve, if something's not lining up for us and we have the choice to do something different with the people. So if we want to live a more joyous life, we really need to be surrounding ourselves with people that are going to lift this up, propel us towards our goals. If that is not working for us, then we're being dragged down by certain people, we have a choice. And then finally pace, a huge one for so many of us, so many of us are just feeling exhausted by the pace of life. So if it's not working for you, you have the power of choice to do something different. (06:27)•  So this for me was sort of the saying that kind of triggered me to do a bit of a life inventory on the beach that day, and pura vida is all about living that pure life. The Costa Ricans, they don't strive to collect a whole bunch of stuff, they literally live in the moment, a moment by moment, and they are so happy it's contagious. And they don't worry about, Oh my gosh, I need to have a million dollars in my bank account. They literally trade like a mango for something else they need from a neighbor, and they're truly happy because they're connecting with people and they're just living what they call this pure life. And for me, it was such a huge kind of smack on the head to go, What the hell am I doing with my life? Why am I so worried about? Just advancing, advancing, advancing. I think I had... In my corporate tenure of 18 years, I had 10 different jobs, I was literally jumping to the next job within 18 months to two years because I was like, Oh my gosh, I got a climb, climb, climb...Achieve, achieve, achieve. And it was the moment when I saw this saying here, pura vida, and it just really shifted everything for me. (13:24)• Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you asked because I have to say, Wayne Dyer is like my guru. I don't know if you know Wayne, I love Wayne. I know he's not here with us. Right? He's so good! So he passed in 2014, but he has had such a significant impact on my life. And the quote that I love from him is, 'When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change'. Power house quote! It all goes back to that power of choice. So if we choose to be a victim of our circumstances and feel like we have no control over our life in our day, guess what? That's going to follow. If we shift that and start to know and believe that we can control our day and our happiness and our joy, so much will shift for you. (17:33) ABOUT BRIANNE LIGORI:Brianne Ligori lives and leads from the heart. She believes that everybody can—and should—live a life of purpose and joy.

  • Don't Accept Things As They Are

    Don't Accept Things As They Are
    Sep 20 2022
    •  So this is the 100 podcast of the mindset check. How cool is that? I'm super excited about it! 100 episodes, that's so amazing! So I'm going to have a little giveaway, so keep listening, I'll mention it at the end of this podcast. What I'm going to do is have a little prize, that I'm going to give out to a few of you guys. I'm going to show you what to do so that you can get your hands on some mindset chick-swag. I'm going to be giving some stuff away, but before we dive even deeper into this episode, and how to grab the Mindset Chick Swag, because it's the 100th podcaster, super exciting, let's start with our mindset mantra that we say at the beginning of the Mindset Chick podcast. So, if you know this, you can follow along, Say it with me, you can close your eyes, you can feel into it. Here we go, "I am receiving. I am receiving now. I'm receiving all of the wealth, health, blessings and prosperity that the universe has for me now, and so it is..." Okay, how do you start not accepting things as they are? You might be saying, Well, Kristi, this is my reality. This is what I'm living. How am I supposed to just become somebody I'm not? Or, respond to things that aren't really happening? Well, here's the thing, if you keep doing the same thing you're doing right now, responding the same way, or reacting the same way... Reacting is just like a knee-jerk reaction, you're just reacting because you've done that for years and years and years. (03:23) •  So how do you start? Well, first off, you got to know what do you want... You have to know. What you do want? Okay, so you may have a list of things that you don't want in your life, but you got to know what you do want. Feel free to go back to the beginning of the mindset podcast where I run you through step by step. The first episode, second, third are running through how to become aware of the things that you want in your life, how to create a vision board, how to start changing your internal dialogue, how to start changing your story, how to start using these tools to start changing your life. And you can also go to mindsetchick.com, download my gift to you, my magic five morning mindset routine that's going to support you to start manifesting your goals faster. The same tools I used, I believe supported me to get to where I am in my life and my business, to becoming a top director in my beauty company, and just living out the lifestyle that I always dreamed of.  (05:56) •   If you have a friend that's constantly wanting to gossip and be drama and negative and is texting you and calling you, I'm going to tell you right now, the best thing that you can do for that person, and yourself, is not pick up the phone and stop responding. You don't have to accept their drama, their reality, their problems. I have a boundary around that, you are energetically taking your vibration, your energy, and in tangling it with the people that you hang out with. So you got to be really, really careful about that, you know? It's okay to have boundaries, it's okay not to just pick up your phone when somebody calls. It's okay not to gossip and chitter chatter and feed into the drama and spread the drama and all that. It's okay to have boundaries. And you're not a mean person, you're not a bad person, anything like that. You have those boundaries because, think about it, you're protecting yourself, you're protecting your family, and you're protecting your income. I have same people, clients and team members, who get entangled with stuff like that, and I have seen it affect their business and their income. So I want to encourage you, don't talk hard times. You don't have to accept things as they are. You can get back in the habit if you got out of the habit, or you can start the habit of doing the magic five morning mindset on my website mindsetchick.com, creating your as if story. (12:33)•  I won't accept things as they are, just because they've always been that way, it doesn't mean they can't be changed, so true. Or, it doesn't mean that what's coming into your reality right now, or the chitter chatter of the world, or the changes or anything like that, has to stay a reality. Things are always changing. Nothing ever stays the same. So whatever is going on right now in your life can always be changed. Stop being stuck as a mindset, you're not stuck, you're never stuck. That was one of the most powerful things that I learned at age 23 when I was overweight, suffering with postpartum depression, having a newborn, my husband working two jobs, being alone, not having friends, having eyeballs in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, and thinking, There's no way out, until I realized there was. That I was only a stuck as I believed myself to be, being stuck was a mindset and I could release that thought, thought pattern, that story, any time I chose. I started to release that story, I started to change my words, I started to change my daily habits. I started focusing on ...

  • Charmaine Williams: How to Fully Embrace Who You Truly Are to Show Up Confidently in Your Own Skin

    Charmaine Williams: How to Fully Embrace Who You Truly Are to Show Up Confidently in Your Own Skin
    Sep 6 2022
    •  I just love for you to share about this video and why you felt like it was so needed. Yes, so it was actually a collaboration with my friend Camille Thompson, who's also the director of M.O.M. Crew, which is a dance team I'm a part of, with a bunch of other amazing, incredible, strong women. It's definitely a sisterhood. And so, Camille oftentimes will come up and say, Hey, let's do a video, I'm going to do a video about this or that, and then she actually asked me to collaborate with her on this video concept. And so there is a song by Mary J. Blige called Good Morning gorgeous, and we actually did contemporary dancing to that video, choreographed by someone else as well. And so after that... And we were like, Okay, what do we do with this? So there was a lot of back and forth on what does the song mean? There's different words within the song and it really resonated with so many different women that are part of the team, and we really wanted to release and do a video where we could have impact really in showing not only our dance abilities, because it is a dance video, but it is also a video about body image and what we as women go through. As you to look at, especially his mothers, because everyone that's part of M.O.M. Crew is also a mom. So not only do we have some of the own insecurities that we have just as women, but also as mothers. We're really hard on ourselves, it's challenging to carry the weight of making sure that you're doing the right things for your kids, second guessing that, but then also trying to be a woman in this world where there's a lot of criticism. (03:15)• On time, there's a daily struggle for millions of women that have to go through that all the time, and there's a ton of single mothers that are out there. And so that was one of the stories that we featured in the video, and she's actually the featurette, at that's part of that video where essentially she's going through this, she's trying to talk herself up, and as she goes through, all of her friends are there to say, You know what, we're going to care for you and we're going to take you out. Right where we get her kind of glammed up, make her still amazing and incredible, have a wonderful time with your sisters. But know that even though each and every one of those women are going through the struggles, towards the end, you start to see how do they individually overcome each of those struggles that are represented in the video, because it's not just about a sad time and let's go feel sad and be sorry for ourselves, you know, as we're going through, it's really about making sure that we are lifting each other up, which is exactly what M.O.M. Crew is about, and then making sure that everyone feels loved. And so you can see that we're in these neutral kind of outfits, we really wanted to take away all of the glitz and the glamor and really just show that it's really about rallying around and making sure that we all feel incredible about ourselves despite what the circumstances might be.(08:11)•  It's really incredible, there's nothing like it. That's what made this video. What you would call easy to do, it wasn't because nothing was manufactured, and it's the real authenticity of each and every woman coming across and trying to make sure even after the footage, with all the footage we have, how do we go in and make sure that we're picking the best part and working with the videographer and cutting those together, and you've got a really short time to tell that story. But it's so important to tell, and there will be more, there will be more like this, but it was really the first collaboration that Camille and I did, and I think it's incredible. I really just took what her vision was for M.O.M. Crew, and then the experiences that each and every one of us had, and we kind of put that together for everybody to see because those are the things like in the video that behind the scenes, we see from each and every member of the team. That's what makes us a sisterhood, because everybody feels so comfortable in sharing really personal parts of their life, but can trust each one, to know that neither of us are going to... None of us are going to take advantage of it. (15:42)•  As an extrovert, I'm very extroverted. So a lot of introverts, like complete introverts, maybe feel a little uncomfortable. But I've met a ton of introverts, like my husband is a natural introvert. But with me, he's been... And we've been married for 17 years, so would be... He is a lot more open. Everyone that kind of just gets around me, just becomes a lot more open, and goofy. People feel comfortable with the silliness, the goofy-ness. We'll go and talk in other voices because we're just goofy like that. People look at us weird and it's just like, I don't know, it's goofy, I love life, I want to enjoy life. But at the same time, the only way that I can... I literally feel like I've only been able to come out and accept myself truly, probably ...

    When You're Not Feeling That Positive
    Aug 23 2022
    •    This summer has been amazing. It's been really, really great. And if you follow me on social media, on Facebook, Instagram, you probably know that I love to travel, I love to go to the beach, and that I was traveling a lot over the summer... Well, I enjoy eating healthy, I enjoy working out, I enjoyed taking care of my body, all the things, but over the summer, I was just like, you know, whatever, I worked out, but I was like, It doesn't really matter, I'm just going to go on vacation, I'm just going to have fun, and I had a great time. And there's nothing wrong with that. I ate some amazing foods, I lounged around, I just enjoyed myself, I enjoyed all of the manifestations. And one of the cool manifestations that happen is that I went on a trip to Hawaii with my friend in July. And what's really interesting about that is, I had on my vision board for years now that I wanted to go to Hawaii. We were talking a few weeks before she was about to leave, and she's like, I'm going to Hawaii, and I'm like, Oh my gosh, that sounds so fun, I would love to go to Hawaii! It's be on my vision board, I've been dreaming about it. And she's like, Well, come with me. 02:32)•   I'm like, What if I was just dreaming about it and visualizing it. Guess what? I got an email notification two days before, we're bumping you up to first class. I think it's a business class, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, I was like, if I saw the bed, maybe it's just a chair, I... Anyways, I got on the flight, it was the very front of the plane, I mean, it was like the seat that reclined into the bed with the blanket and the pillows and the socks. And they asked me if I wanted a Sunday for desert. They wanted to make me a Sunday, it was amazing, it was so amazing! And then on the way back, it was an overnight flight and I thought, You know what, that would be so nice if they upgraded me again to first class because it's an overnight flight. How cool would that be? And I was talking with my friend and she's like, Yeah, that would be cool, but you know, it's maybe not likely to get it twice, that would be really, really interesting if you got it twice like that. And I was just visualizing and visualizing, and I was thinking about how much fun it would be to fly back and be sleeping in this like chair-like bed, and being served wine and watching a movie and having my warm nuts and my meal and all the things like, come on, we're going to Hawaii. Why not travel like this, right? (06:25)•    Well, the vacation stopped and I came home, tried on my jean shorts, oops that didn't fit, they were tight. I mean, real tight. And the first thought that came in my mind was, Oh, how could you let yourself get like this like, Oh, look at your stomach, look at your thighs. So I got on my scale, I had gained weight. And the first thought was to start beating up on myself, look how good you did, you were working out, you were eating good, you lost weight, you were feeling so great in your clothes, and now you've gained it all back, really? I started to compare myself to others, Well, why do some of my other friends or some of the other people that I know get to go out and eat whatever they want and still look the same, like why did I gain all this weight? I don't understand. Now, maybe you'll never be able to lose the weight again, or you're always going to be yo-yoing or... How could you have done this? All these things were going on in my head, and I listened to the podcast and I was like, Oh my gosh, I'm in it. I'm in the mean girl phase, I'm mean girling myself. Man, I know that those thoughts aren't serving me, I know that... And I talk about it, you know, but I got caught up in it. I got kind of down on myself, I was just started feeling gross and sluggish, and then I was back to, You know, my expandable pants, that's what I like to call it. And I was like, I don't want to wear my jean shorts, I don't want to wear my jeans, I'm back to my expandable pants. I listen to that podcast and I thought, You know, no, I'm going to use this for good, I'm not going to use this to beat up on myself. I'm going to use this as an opportunity to flip the script and just say, You know what? I had a great time, I had a wonderful time, I flew first class both ways to Hawaii. (8:33)•   I have to just appreciate where I am, hey, I enjoyed some really good food and drink, I'm just saying. I mean it was good and all that pizza in Hawaii was worth it. And one of my friends said, What did you eat in Hawaii? And I said we went almost every day to Lahaina Pizza Company and got Hawaiian pizza and beer, and let me just tell you, it was worth every bike... It was so good. So I enjoyed it and I'm just realizing that it's okay to have those days where maybe you don't feel that positive and you don't feel that great, but just know you don't have to stay there. And when Lizzy talked about shutting up your inter-Mean Girl, it's really a choice, like you can ...
