Hello, magical Human, welcome back to Madison Mindset, the podcast. I'm outside trying to get some earthing time in.

So for all of you who go, no, can't earth, it's too cold outside, I'm doing it right now. You do it anyway. Is the is the key takeaway you do it anyway. So, yeah, definitely get your earthing in today. That's a great reminder.

Speaker 1: 0:37

I want to also remind everyone that you can go and get more podcast content on Patreon through the Magical Human support space. This space is $5 USD a month. Right, it supports me, supports this podcast. It's a way for you to give back, which is a really beautiful thing, and I'm very, very grateful for all the beautiful souls that have chosen to support me. I truly appreciate you and, yeah, it's a beautiful energy exchange, so it's really nice. And through this subscription, you get a bonus podcast episode a month, you get a bonus practice episode and you get a beautiful journaling session with me. So we go a little bit deeper and you get to support me, which is a huge gift. So thank you for that. If you would like to join, you can jump onto Patreon now using the link below and check it out. There's already a hundred videos. There's some old coaching videos on there and extended affirmations, a heap of the older content that has been used throughout the years. It's all there. So you've got the whole backlog of stuff as well to go through, which is really great, really really cool.

Speaker 1: 1:52

And at the moment as well, I have the doors open for Beautiful Souls to come in and do one-on-one work with me. So what I'm doing at the moment is getting on quite a few calls with those of you who listen to the podcast and people on Instagram and people who I teach in the studio, and we're chatting about what it may look like for you if you come and do one-on-one coaching with me. And the reason I have these calls they're free, right. You book a call with me and we get to chat for half an hour and meet and suss things out. The reason I do that is because I want you to connect with me and I want me to connect with you. So I want to understand if we have a vibe, if we have a good connection, if what you're looking for help with is something that I feel confident in supporting you with. You know it's a great way to. That's why it's called a clarity call, you know. So you can chat to me and go yeah, you know what I do, like her. Or you know what she's not really my coach, and that's fine, you know. And vice versa, like, I can't coach someone well whom I don't connect with well, you know. So these are great calls and I'm doing quite a few, yeah, at least a few a week, which is beautiful. It's so nice to connect and chat, you know, even if it is just a 30-minute call, it's beautiful, and a few spots have been filled with very super aligned people, which is great.

Speaker 1: 3:25

What we're doing is a seven-month coaching container. So you're jumping in with me one-on-one for seven months. We do a coaching call a month. We connect via text or WhatsApp, depending on where you are in the world, and you get free access to the Patreon and all the good stuff, the workshops, the retreats, all the things. You become basically my VIP. You know someone who you basically are signing up for me to support you. So I can't take many on, because I need just a handful of people that I can really show up, for If there's too many people, it becomes too hard to show up. So the spots are very, very limited and I will not be looking for coaching clients again for seven months, so we're talking like March next year.

Speaker 1: 4:18

So if you are interested and you are looking to have a coach and you feel like we connect on here, if you kind of resonate with what I'm talking about and you're ready to go a bit deeper, then this is your opportunity. I'm using the chakra system as a guide for coaching so that we stay in a really grounded what's the right word? It's a grounded situation where we work from the ground up, but also a really beautiful place that's quite ancient. You know that. We're balancing ancient teachings yoga with modern mindset, tools and tricks and understandings. So, yeah, if you're ready to change your life, if you're like you know what I really got to change these habits, or I've got to fall back in love with myself or back in love with life, I've got to create the life I want to live and feel the way I want to feel, and I'm really struggling right now then this is your opportunity.

Speaker 1: 5:13

So you can jump below in the show notes. You'll find a link to book a clarity call with me. Okay, the clarity call is free. We'll chat over Zoom and you can ask your questions. I'll tell you all the details and we can go from there, all right. So if you're curious at all, I recommend you book a clarity call because, as I said, these spots are limited.

Speaker 1: 5:35

Just because you book a clarity call doesn't mean you need to show up as a client. All right, this is a clarity call for you and for me, so there's no stress. We get to chat and connect and, yeah, go a little bit deeper. So go ahead and book that. I would love to chat to you and love to meet you. It's always nice to connect some faces with the names and the numbers. You know, the downloads that I see and the people listening. You know it's so nice. Another way to connect with me is to leave a comment on Spotify. I love to see the comments, love to connect with you guys. A lot of you have some really beautiful ideas and leave some great feedback. I always appreciate that, so feel free to go ahead and do that.

Speaker 1: 6:15

Now we're going to jump in to another round of decoding emotions. A few weeks ago, I put out an episode. I'll link it below. But we went through seven emotions and spoke about the messages behind the emotions and what we might need to do if that emotion is showing up. So that was really popular. You guys really liked it and there was a request for more. So I have got another seven and we're going to dive into those. So definitely listen to the last episode as well. But yeah, let's dive in to another seven emotions.

Speaker 2: 6:55

Hello, magical Human and welcome to Madison Mindset Podcast. To Madison Mindset Podcast. My name is Madison.

Speaker 2: 7:03

I'm a yoga teacher, a mindset and spirituality coach and a complete earth fairy. I see a world that is peaceful and easy to live in, humans that are awakened and enlightened towards who they are and what life truly is and why we are here. I understand life can be really hard. I've had a huge journey with anxiety myself. I understand what it's like to feel overwhelmed, overworked, stressed and frustrated within this earth. It is this journey that led me to begin my own growth journey.

Speaker 2: 7:48

It is only through those struggles that I was able to birth this podcast, so that you can have the tools and techniques and knowledge to help you step forward and be a being of light, a magical earthly being who is grounded, supported, who takes on challenges with love and embraces the lessons that each day brings. You are that being. I am here to walk you there. You will find many different kinds of episodes through this podcast. All are created in the moment and with love for you. Find the one you need for this moment and enjoy. Take a moment for yourself. Sit down with your journal and tune in and enjoy. Take a moment for yourself, sit down with your journal and tune in. Welcome.

Speaker 1: 8:56

Let's begin. Number one Grief. The message from grief is that you have loved. You have loved something or someone deeply and something has changed. There is a loss of some kind and that love, your relationship with that thing or that person, has changed in some way. It's a loss. You need to let yourself mourn. You need to let yourself allow the emotion of grief to help you mend the relationship between what was with what is now. When you have love deeply and you lose something or something changes, there is a period of time where you need to settle into the new. Grief is the emotion that helps you mend that.

Speaker 1: 9:56

Grief is incredibly raw. It's very tender to feel and it can feel like a trauma. It's a very, very deep and difficult emotion for many people to feel. Biologically, it's our nervous system coming to terms with a new reality, so starting to settle into a new comfort zone, a new position. Spiritually, grief is a rite of passage. It's an unraveling of the old and a creating of the new. All right, the underlying story of grief and what most of us feel is we don't want it to change, we don't want to have that loss, but life includes loss. You know loss and things changing is a normal part of life. So we need to learn how to go through the rite of passage, even if we don't want to. And it's not often that we allow ourselves to walk through it until the grief starts to soften. But if you can picture your old situation with your new situation, grief is the middle ground. It's the rite of passage. We need to go through it. You've got to feel it. Let the tears fall. This is not a weak emotion. It's an echo of something that you loved. It's an echo of an old story, an old way of being, an old relationship. It is something settling into the past and it's a big deal. Allow yourself to feel it. It's a beautiful emotion. It teaches you a lot. It's not easy to feel at all, but give yourself the space it is necessary.

Speaker 1: 11:53

Number two hope. When you're feeling hope, the message is even when all seems dark and difficult, there's a part of you that remembers the light, the joy, the peace. There's a deep part of you that knows that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope activates dopamine and it keeps you focused on a future vision. So, even if your current situation is really hard, hope comes through to keep you going, even if it's through a painful experience, even if it's through a difficult time, it is a force of belief. It is something is on the horizon and it's better than where I am now. Hope is sometimes the reason you get out of bed in the morning knowing that something better is coming. Hope is not blind optimism. It's a quiet inner feeling of faith, of trust, of positivity, of fire and dedication that refuses to be beaten. This is a powerful thing and we need it. Allow hope into your life. It's a good thing. If you're feeling it now, that's an amazing sign. Allow it to be your light.

Speaker 1: 13:26

Three overwhelm. The message from being overwhelmed is that you're doing too much. There's too much going on. You're thinking about too much. You're doing too much. You're saying too much. You're thinking too much.

Speaker 1: 13:41

Overwhelm comes in when your system is flooded. There are too many tabs open. There's too much energy going in too many different directions. You've got to call it all back. Overwhelm is the nervous system freezing in panic. How do I go in 50 directions at once? It's literally a fight or flight response. If you're overwhelmed, you've got to go back to the simple Back it up, slow down and do one thing at a time. Overwhelm is your sign and your body's request for the simple, for presence, for doing less.

Speaker 1: 14:25

Your fourth emotion awe. The message from awe is that there is something out there greater than all of us and you are a small part of it. Or as the opportunity to look at the sky and see how many stars there are, to have a look on Google Maps, zoom out until you can nearly see the whole universe. You can see the whole earth and realize how small you are, how beautiful and how rare our life is. It puts things into perspective our life is. It puts things into perspective. It expands your consciousness and softens your ego and your attachment to this world. Neurochemistry shows that this feeling or quietens mental chatter, releases feel-good chemicals and creates more connection between yourself and life. It's also a reminder that life is so mysterious, so sacred, so special, so fleeting. Enjoy it and let yourself be moved by it deeply.

Speaker 1: 15:41

Five motivation. The message behind motivation is that you found energy behind your purpose. You've found a force behind your purpose, behind your goal. Use it with intention. We all know that you can find motivation and very quickly it burns out. You've got to be careful not to let it burn out too hard. You've got to be careful not to dampen, burn out too hard. You've got to be careful not to dampen it. You've got to use it, just right. Motivation is life force, prana rising. It is clarity meeting action. It's a part of you going.

Speaker 1: 16:21

I'm ready, I'm ready to move. I'm ready to move my body. I'm ready, I'm ready to move. I'm ready to move my body. I'm ready to take action. I'm ready to ask for what I need. I'm ready to take it. I'm ready to claim what I deserve. Now is the time. Pay attention to what fuels the motivation. This is an intrinsic fire. Right, you're burning solar plexus chakra, the inner flame. You've got to be mindful about what fuels it, what burns it out and what makes it turn into an overwhelming fire. You've got to find what keeps the flame steady and be intentional with it. Otherwise it will burn out, or burn you out, or you'll find you struggle to light it again.

Speaker 1: 17:11

Number six regret. The message behind regret is that you learnt something. Now you get to choose again. Choose differently next time. Regret is not here to punish you. It's a teacher. Do not allow yourself to experience regret and spend your time feeling guilty and regretful. And oh, why did I do that I should have changed, should have made a different decision. There's no point spending time there. Regret is information about what you've done in the past that can guide you better in the future. If you can integrate it well and stop beating yourself up over it, it becomes wisdom. It slows you down, it allows you to reflect and it invites you to act with more intention and more care next time you come into a similar situation.

Speaker 1: 17:57

The pain of regret you can also see as love. It's a different form of love. It's love for what could have been. It's similar to grief. Something could have happened differently, and next time I'm going to make it happen that way. Okay, regret is an amazing teacher. It can be a difficult one for us to feel, which is why we allow it to shut us down and we get stuck in it, but instead transform it into a teacher and you'll find you make better decisions in your future.

Speaker 1: 18:29

Number seven contentment. Nothing is missing. You're exactly where you need to be. Contentment is quiet and it is part of the goal of yoga a still peaceful mind. It is balance, it is ease, it is centeredness, it is the breath, it is a opportunity to enjoy it, to allow it and to be with this beautiful feeling of ease. This is the goal Practice being here. It is powerful. That's our seven and that's good, because it's starting to rain all over my laptop and mic so I better get out of the weather. But thank you so much for being here and for showing up and for listening to this episode. I hope it helps you. Please leave a comment if you resonated with any of these emotions, and feel free to also leave a comment with any emotions you'd like me to cover in a future episode. Lots of love to you. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week and I'll chat to you in the next episode. Love you.
