Welcome back, beautiful souls, to another radiant episode of Unleash your Inner Radiance. I'm your host, lisa, your catalyst, life, wellness and transformation coach, and today I am here to remind you that your light is not accidental, it is essential. So how bright is your light? This is your safe space to grow, glow and ignite the unstoppable energy inside of you. So grab your cup of coffee, cozy up or lace up those sneakers, because today's Monday Mindset is about flipping that switch on your inner radiance and it's going to absolutely be mind-blowing.

Speaker 1: 1:17

The mindset shift you need this week and we all need it this week. Right, you know, this past week to say this lightly is not this past week for me, has been packed with big, huge energy, has been packed with big, huge energy. New beginnings, fresh opportunities, new visions are unfolding. It has actually been unbelievable. Have you had a week like that where all the momentum can really feel truly overwhelming, right? Maybe you're wondering, like I have been wondering can really feel truly overwhelming, right? Maybe you're wondering, like I have been wondering, am I really ready for this next level, or can I actually be the person I'm dreaming of becoming? Those are two really big questions that I think I asked myself a couple of times this past week. So if you're asking yourself those questions right now, we're on the same wavelength here. But here's the truth. Bomb that I think will change a lot of things. You don't need to become ready. You know, I've learned that in this podcast. You don't need to become ready, right. You decide you are ready and the becoming happens along the way, right, that's kind of how this last year and a few months has gone. Right, I just became ready and the becoming is just happening. So that's how you need to do things. Just, you know, hey, I want to do this. I'll figure it out later. Do it messy. Who cares? That's part of the excitement. That's part of the becoming that happens along the way. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to be a perfectionist, you just have to do it messy, right? So I want to give you a little bit of research.

Speaker 1: 3:23

According to the study published in the Journal of Psychological Science, people who act with confidence, even before they truly feel confident, activate parts of the brain that create resilience, motivation and perseverance. Isn't that kind of cool? Just act like you're all that right. In other words, you take action first and with that, confidence follows, because you build the confidence that you need. So you don't need to feel ready, you just need to move and the readiness will meet you. You just need to move and the readiness will meet you. Isn't that kind of cool, you know? You just literally you're dreaming of that, one thing that you want to do. Just make the first step to doing it.

Speaker 1: 4:27

So here's your mindset for today I want you to stop waiting for the perfect time. Stop waiting for perfect timing. That's a perfectionist thing and we don't want to do that. Stop waiting for the perfect version of you, because, let me tell you, you start and the version of you is going to change and evolve and become more energetic and bigger, more confident, more resilient, because your radiance isn't earned, it's truly unleashed. So let's do that.

Speaker 1: 5:04

And your dreams that you have, the dreams that you have, aren't random, they're a calling. They truly are a calling. You know that pit you get in your stomach when you think of that dream that you had. It might have been when you were 18. It might have been when you were 24. It might have been when you were 36. But that thing that you wanted to start, that pit. I want you to know that it's not a random dream. It's a calling and guess what? Friend. It is your time to answer it.

Speaker 1: 5:48

So now I'm going to tell you On that. While you are thinking about that, I want to give you three steps to a brighter, more radiant week. So that you can act on that, right, I want you to speak it into existence, talk about it, speak it to yourself, write it down, do a brain dump about it, right, or each morning this week, I want you to say out loud here's what I want you to say Today I choose to show up as the woman who already has what she desires. My energy leads the way. Did you get that? Today, I choose to show up as the woman who already has what she desires. My energy leads the way. Two take tiny, brave actions. Pick one thing every day that feels a little scary and do it anyway and, trust me, your courage will compound. So, like, just like.

Speaker 1: 6:58

Take this podcast, for instance. Right, a year and a half ago, roughly, I decided I wanted to do a podcast because I had taken this free five day podcasting course. Right, I was like Nope, I'm going to do this, I am going to record my trailer. Well, it took me 17 times to record my trailer. But then it was like three o'clock in the morning and I just was like you know what I'm done recording? I'm just going to post it, because if I post it it's out there, it's out there for everybody to listen to, right? So I did that, I posted it and now, a year and some months later, year and a half now, here we are and has my confidence grown? Yes, Did I just step out and you just kind of have to take what it is and grow and not be perfect, not be shy.

Speaker 1: 8:03

Don't dim your light. Okay, don't dim your light. I want you to visualize. This is number three. Visualize your future self. So, before bed, close your eyes and see her. So, before bed, close your eyes and see her, that radiant, powerful you who already did the thing you're dreaming about. Feel her energy, borrow her belief, because she is you and your future self will thank you. Because visualization really it truly activates the same neurons in the brain as an actual experience. So, in other words, you can trick your neurons in your brain to think that you've already done something that you haven't done, because it doesn't know the difference of whether you've done it or not. So why don't you tell your brain? You've already done it. You know, olympic athletes actually use this, so you can too.

Speaker 1: 9:06

Now I have an affirmation for you for the week, and it's a really powerful one, but I want you to repeat it every morning this week. So now you get two things to say every morning, and I'm going to give you bonus points on this one If you look yourself straight in the eyes in the mirror when you say it. So here's your affirmation for this week I am ready. No, let's start over. I am already ready. Everything I need to be. I trust my journey, I honor my power and I choose to shine boldly, unapologetically and beautifully. Y'all want that one more time, without a mistake. I am already everything I need to be. I trust my journey, I honor my power and I choose to shine boldly, unapologetically and beautifully.

Speaker 1: 10:12

See if you can say that to yourself every day this week, to yourself looking in your eyes in the mirror, because I truly want you to believe it. I truly do so. I want you to remember, my beautiful friend, you are not here to play small. You are not here to dim your light, to fit into spaces that you've already outgrown. You are here to blaze a trail, to inspire others and to live a life so full of love and purpose that it overflows into everything you touch.

Speaker 1: 11:03

So go out there this week and choose to believe bigger, choose to live brighter and choose to unleash your inner radiance, because the word is go get it right Is go get it right, and I want you to know that the world is waiting for your light. Until next time, keep shining, keep rising.
