Hey everybody, today we're gonna talk about how to be the creator of your, a better experience for your life. And today, Teresa is gonna start by sharing a common experience that we probably all can relate to. And we're gonna give our spiritual perspective on that experience. So welcome. To Enthusiastically Spiritual. Okay, so yes. So Teresa, what happened this morning?
Well, I was just going to share about that. But first I want to say that we're all about making this the unseen parts of yourself practical. OK, you know, there's a lot of people out there sharing a lot of things, but how to live day to day and make all this practical, especially with the spiritual unseen parts of us. So, you know, I've been rocking the body and the mind for decades, right? I like all of us, especially that mind part.
but this spiritual part, the unseen part is something that's challenging. So Tom and I have all this experience every day. So we really wanted to take this moment and this episode and share a little bit about what happened this morning and how I was able to shift the energy for myself and also for the situation. So this was, this is, I think a really good one because this happens to people all the time. Yes. Okay. So here's what happened. Everybody.
So I walk into the kitchen in the morning time, I make breakfast and then Tom cleans up. That's our that's our our how we how we roll. I cook, he clean. That's a good thing. And he puts things in different places, which is fine. Totally cool. But there's a couple places that I've asked him a couple of times to put things in different places. And like one place he puts his his filter, his coffee filter right next to the water filter on the counter and it's wet. And and he leaves it there.
And that really kind of bothers me. And the other thing I've asked him to do many times, he takes the our water bottles, the tops of them, and he won't put them together. He leaves one here, will leaves one over there. And that drives me crazy. So this morning I walked into the kitchen. I was like, OK, how to get Tom to for one thing, how?
to not be pissed off about this, because I've talked to Tom how many times we've been together for seven years. I mean, not that many times, but yes, a lot of times. And how to, you know, and I was starting to get a little revved up, right? And I'm like, wait a minute, how I need to work with this situation is I need to work with Tom in a way that I want the outcome to be relaxed, a relaxed atmosphere and to be positive for myself and for Tom.
So what I said to Tom when he came in the room was, want to share what I said to you Tom? Did you tune into your guidance for solutions or? You know, I did actually. I tuned into my feelings and I was getting stirred up. Okay. I'm like, oh damn, getting stirred up about this. So you were getting emotional. I was getting emotional, which means I'm out of my true feelings, which is that kind, loving, enthusiastic, relaxed part of me. Okay. So yes, I tuned into what was I feeling? I'm like, oh, and I don't want to feel this way and I don't want to...
have Tom feel this way. That's my second thing I thought about as I tuned into spirit and also to get an example or a suggestion of how can I change this situation so it's more supportive for myself and for Tom. Yeah. And I imagine many of us have felt that way at different times. It's somehow, you know, something we're asking for hasn't been delivered, you know, whether it's within our family or on the job, that kind of thing.
And, you know, it's all about how do we communicate it and what energy are we working with? So, well, I'll share what Teresa opened up with, you know, she was very appreciative. In fact, she said she loved how I emptied the dishwasher. And this is practical people. And every morning, you know, and that I clean up the dishes and that kind of thing. And, and then she offered a couple of
insights as to how she'd like something a little different. And she talked to me about the coffee holder. And honestly, for the first time, she made it clear why she wanted something a certain way. She wanted the thing on top. And that made sense to me. And of course, it's a detail that I wasn't that concerned with. But you know, it's important to her. And then there was another issue.
where she, oh yeah, with the water jugs kind of a thing or the water bottles. Yeah, water bottles. And there's a reason that I wouldn't put the caps on because everything's wet from the dishwasher and I kind of like it to air dry. But we do have this issue where, you know, she's got a hunt for the caps and I do see that they can get kind of like, where is that thing? So she, but she was again in a very clear,
mode. And when she shared it with me, I was like, Yeah, well, of course, I'd like to do that for her. I had no problem with it. And then she after that, then she told me again, how much she appreciated the fact that she could chat with me about that. And it worked really well. And so from my perspective, what I noticed this morning is I said, Wow, you know,
I read about that once in One Minute Manager. You're supposed to, when you counsel an employee or somebody working with it, you open with a compliment, then you tell them what you'd like them to do differently, and then you close on a compliment. And one of the reasons is psychologically, we feel that we didn't do this right, it hits harder than the compliment, and for some reason.
And so I remember that one thing from the one minute manager. But as Teresa went through this, uh, this morning, I thought to myself, you know, uh, the one minute manager or that idea, that concept, you know, that could be kind of manipulative, you know, go up to somebody and give them a compliment and then tell them something that you want them to do different and then give them a, you know, it can be an intellectual exercise.
but it felt so good from Teresa this morning because I felt that her energy was in a good place. She was in that loving, sharing, compassionate, patient mode. And from her perspective and that she would like to create a better, she wants what she wants, what she desires. And there's nothing wrong with that. And of course I'm happy to please her. I love pleasing her.
know, that's fun for me. I please her because it feels good to me. And it's not, you know, just one, you know, the other way. So it, as I was regrouping with my guidance on it, you know, they said, you know, really, it's the echo of the energy that she put out. So it struck me that that's being a creative soul, I'm putting that energy out. And then the echo of what comes back,
is the same energy. So I contrast that with different times where, you know, I'll say, I've been aggravated about something or another. And then the mental conversation goes on in my head. And you know, how come she doesn't do this, or he doesn't do that. And, boy, they're gonna have to, you know, everybody's got their own versions of the conversations that go on. And then you hit them with it. You know, I've told you 1000 times, you know, to
not do this or do this differently. And, you know, so to me, you may have, you may have, you may have told me, I know you've told me more than once, but you've never made it so clear. And I thought, so that's the key is that communication comes from when I respect myself enough to keep my energy relaxed, calm, loving, enthusiastic. When I move from those kinds of
feelings and that vibration to create in my environment, what I'd like to have. Whoa, that magic happens. It's like a healing wave that comes out. It's a clarifying wave that comes out and comes back. So boy, there's a lesson there. Absolutely. So this is just one tip we wanted to leave you with today, because this is a way that you can enhance every relationship, every place you go to. But if it does start with you,
So that's the key. It started because this morning it started with me when I started getting a little aggro as Tom will call it. I was like, no, I don't want to go there today. I'm going to stay in. I want a more loving feeling and I want to and I appreciate Tom so much. So it really came from a real heart centered place. So moving out into the world now, of course, you know, there's going to be lots of times where I'll have many, many more opportunities to practices, which I'm sure that and to master this, which I'm sure you also will out there listening. But.
Just wanted to share that it's one way like Tom's talking about the echo is, but it starts with you and how do you want to feel and how do you want the environment and those in your environment to interact with you? Yeah. Rather than get emotional, you know, if I'm in my emotions, which are how I've been taught to feel, Oh, I'm, I'm just ignored anything I say and nobody pays it. Now, you know, you're off in trippy land and you've got confusion probably helping you with that.
and you know, we're reacting rather than responding. And then guess what you hit the person in your environment with that emotional energy. And how do they react emotionally unless they're very afraid of you. And then they'll again, they're going to be afraid they might not fight back, but they're going to be afraid. So you've just stimulated their fear. And is that really going to create what you want? And then I mean, we've all had this experience. So try that folks.
try relaxing, respect yourself and how you want to feel enough to get back to your true feelings. Take a moment, maybe bring it up at another time, work with your guidance on the best timing and maybe to help you get back into your true feelings so that you can create the environment with others that you dream of. Love it. Beautiful. That's how we make spiritual things.
practical. Hey, that's a new tagline. I like it. So just wanted to leave you with that today. Have a wonderful day. Thank you for listening into another mini morsel episode and we'll be back again soon. And until then, remember that life is too short not to be enthusiastic about your unique journey.
