3.21.26 - Awakening Play to Attract Success (Live at Pease Park)

In this episode of the Saturday Service Podcast, we share a live gathering from Austin, Texas, where we explore a powerful principle for attracting success: play. When we reconnect with the playful, curious energy we naturally had as children, we activate a state of openness, creativity, and magnetism that allows opportunities, ideas, and aligned experiences to flow with greater ease. 

Saturday Service is a weekly community gathering where we come together to harness high levels of clarity, strengthen intuition, explore deeper truths about life, and connect with like-minded souls. Through conversation, reflection, and intuitive insights, this episode invites you to rediscover the power of play—and how it can become a gateway to greater success, joy, and alignment in your life. 🧠

Okay, let's get started. I'm gonna start us off with a little song. And I want to see if you guys can challenge yourselves a little bit to tap into this meditation that I think resides within each and every one of us. You know, I shared this last week, I think it was last week where I shared it, or maybe a couple weeks ago. One of the reasons why I began to, you know, engage with music and play music is because it got me out of my head. I was able to express myself emotionally. And that purification process allowed me to connect deeper with the self. Like I would write songs that weren't even that good, but I feel more connected with the self. And so now as I write, you know, more songs, I've been singing the same, I've been singing the same songs like every week, but we're gonna write more songs, so it'll be good. Um does anyone else here sing, by the way? You singer?

unknown 0:49

I wish.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

No? No, you? Alright, yeah, okay. If y'all know anyone, do you sing? Like them, just like yeah. Good to see you. Yeah. So I've been writing a little bit more songs about source, higher power. So you guys can you can join, you can sing along, you can close your eyes. And yeah, let's get right into it.

SPEAKER_00 1:21

I find God in the breath I breathe early in the morning. I find God listening to birds, sing with gratitude and glory. I smile, I create space, I close my eyes and meditate. I find God in the mountains, basking in sun showers, or underneath the trees, or out amongst the flowers, wandering in the green in all of Mother Nature's power. Ooh, I find God Hallelujah I find God with my family. Oh, yeah by my side. I see heaven when I look into my mama's eyes. My dad is the winner, so is my aunt, brother, and sister. Ooh, I find God hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hey, hallelujah, hey, hallelujah, ooh, my fine God. Nice.

SPEAKER_01 3:17

Sweet. Alright, so we actually haven't done this in a while, but because we have a little bit more of an intimate group, I think this will be beneficial. One of the reasons why I created Saturday service was because I felt like the world was like missing these in-person connections, these in-person experiences. It's where I find my excitement, my joy, getting to connect with like beautiful like-minded humans like you. Um, my name is Nikki, and I'm gonna be, I'm grateful for each and every one of you. Truly, like my intention is to connect with like-minded, not sound cliche, but high-frequency people, people that are that have a zest for growing, getting to know themselves on deeper and deeper levels. And you know, it's just a really beautiful thing to connect with all of you. So thank you guys for being here. And today, and today, today, I want to focus in on a topic I've sort of been talking about in different spaces. We talked about it a little bit last week, we talked about a little bit in the in the webinar on Wednesday, and it's just it's a theme. It's a theme that allows, you know, I found in my own life us to attract more abundance, it allows us to connect more with the essence of self. And it's really tapping into play to attract success. And we've gone through different angles of this, but I find that the more I tap into that essence of play, that essence of joy, that stream of joy that resides within each and every one of us, my life outside of me changes. And it's really funny because like as I progress through my own adventure, that is life, and I begin to learn all this information in regards to spiritual reality, you know, read the books, watch the motivational talk, so on and so forth, it's when I go back to the fundamentals and realizing that this journey and getting to know ourselves on deeper and deeper levels, it is an unlearning process. Like when I think to my child, uh child self, right? And I think it was last week when we talked about it, maybe not, but and I think about the joy that was just available to me. Like just existing in the world was joy. It wasn't that there wasn't fear and trepidation and worry and so on and so forth, but it was like my natural essence, right? I've talked about in here, I don't know why this topic keeps coming up. Like I used to like hunt for spiders when I was a kid for no reason. Um, but like it was just it was it was fun to engage with that process. When I first got a guitar, I was 10 or something. It was fun to engage with that process. But as we go through, you know, the traditional education system and we go through life and we have to get our jobs, everything becomes so serious. If you guys know me, I am I am silly, right? Um I'm out here gester maxing as the kids say. Um, I don't know if anyone knows what that means. If anyone knows what that means, but I am I am silly, right? Because I realize that some of my greatest spiritual breakthrough, it happens within silliness, it happens within play, it happens within all of it. And so as I've gone through life and I go about my day-to-day life, I started to ask myself this question: how can I bring about play, joy, in this very moment? Like when I'm in an Uber ride, I've been asking myself this question, how can I bring about joy and play in this exact moment? Now, there's actually kind of a specific formula for this, but I want to ask you guys this question, okay? You don't have to answer my specific where this is going, okay? But I want to ask you guys, you can kind of popcorn it out. How do you guys experience play in your day-to-day life experiences? You what? Dance, dance is epic. I love doing that. I danced in my kitchen the other day. You talk to yourself? Like through through like positive stuff? Yes. You're just chatting with you. Yes, yes, yes. Same. I dance and talk to myself. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 7:03

Oh no, I was just gonna play off that. Like something silly will happen, like everybody, and it's just like we talk.

SPEAKER_01 7:09

Yes. Yes. Okay, I love this. Jonathan, what do you got? For no reason, I'm just calling on Jonathan.

SPEAKER_03 7:24

Yeah. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Dogs are the best, and you probably know better, the best teacher, right? Because the essence of a dog is like play. Have a good time. Now, where I'm going with this, okay? We all have our things that bring about play and bring about joy. Well, we talked about one approach in our webinar on Wednesday, but I want to talk about a different approach here, and it's understanding that this play that we're looking for can exist in our day-to-day lives. Going back to the Uber ride, I started to ask myself this question, right? How can I not just like force a conversation? Because I used to kind of go with that. I'm like, okay, I have this opportunity to connect with another soul, and I would just practice engaging with them, but then I'd still find myself feeling drained. So I started to go, what is Nikki value? Nikki values intuition. Nikki values, and this is a little technique, and I'm gonna challenge each of you guys to take this technique, integrate it into your own life, and see what happens, okay? I started to challenge myself, what is Nikki value? Now, I'm going the long route to get the answer here, but I'm gonna ask this question. What is what is self-love? It's the art of what? Putting what? Yes, putting yourself first. So, how can I lift someone else up by putting myself first while going back to what we're all talking about? So I'll go, what's Nikki value? Intuition. Great. Nicki values spirituality, great. Nikki values helping others see themselves for who they really are. I don't like to try and change anyone's life, that doesn't feel fun. I like to bring about silliness, play. So in this Uber ride the other day, and I've been engaging with this technique a lot. I was like, how can I bring about a conversation of spirituality? How can I bring about a conversation of energy work, intuition? And of course, the people that I've been driving with in Ubers, they're all like spiritual people, right? No accident. And I'm driving with this guy the other day, and I'm I just I just threw it out there in the middle of the conversation. I'm like, I'm like, I don't know how to do this. I'm like, uh, are you spiritual? He's like, very much, very much. He's uh from France. And I'm like, no way, man. And I was like, how can I make him feel good? I'm like, I I felt it. I felt like extra safe when I was in this car. And he goes, you know what? I don't tell most people this, but I do a little energy work. I want people to feel safe as possible. And he goes, I put a God layer of protection and I go, no way. And all of a sudden, I'm not forcing a conversation that I don't want to have, I'm not putting myself second. And this is where I think a lot of the spiritual world self-help word kind of goes wrong. It's sort of like not having a clear understanding of what self-love means to put yourself first. And then it's like, how do we engage with putting ourselves first with also helping another life outside of our own? So now I'm doing both. I'm bringing up conversation that elicited joy play within me while also integrating a playful nature, making jokes. So I want you guys, you guys are popcorning out things that bring you joy, right? And I want you to ask yourself this question. Next time you're in a mundane scenario in your life, you're engaging with another human being. How many people? Okay, this is gonna sound bad, you're engaging with someone, you have that wandering eye, and you're like, oh, I hate to be that person. Yeah, yeah. And like deep down, you're like, you you know it's not fun to be that person, because obviously we don't like to receive that. I want you to challenge yourself and go, how can I bring about what I value in this conversation? How can I start to ask myself this question? Where can I experience play? Where can I experience joy? You guys will see me like if I'm just existing out there in the world, I'll like break out and dance. Okay, it looks, I look stupid, I look like an idiot, right? But that's okay. Because I'm like tapping into play and joy that is within me. Each of you has a stream of play and joy within you. It is your it is your natural vibration. Curiosity is play. Hello friend, welcome. Is this your friend Ashna? Yeah, sweet. No, it's okay. Um it's it's totally okay. That's usually it's everybody is, you know? It was just me and her at first at like 11, right? Yeah, so it's all good. So essentially the next question is what are some indicators, all right, that we have been not tapping in to that stream of play, silliness, that resides within us within us. If all of life, okay, is a reflection of our energy, okay? If life is reflecting our dominant vibration, all right, I attract what I'm a vibrational match for. Who here subscribes to that? Sweet, okay. I saw the the his arm went up, it was scratching, but it also went up. So, so if we subscribe to this, this law of the universe that all of life is uh reflecting our energy, okay? What are some indicators in life that we're take we're taking life a little bit too seriously? You guys can popcorn.

SPEAKER_03 12:25

If you're in interaction, you're like, wow, they were like you're basically judging that.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

Nailed it. 100%. How many of us have these judgments within the mind sometimes? I know I've had them, right? I have to check myself. Ah, they're probably reflecting where I'm taking myself way too seriously. Right? What are some other indicators of taking life too seriously? I'm sure. Go ahead, Jonathan. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:51

Really any kind of idea.

SPEAKER_01 12:53

100%. You ever feel like overly frustrated with your dog and you're like, I feel terrible about this? Yeah? Yeah? You sometimes? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. So essentially we have these moments and we're like feeling a little bit like like extra stressed. The stress levels go up, they increase. Well, how does this affect the other areas of our life? Is this gonna affect our finances? What do you guys think? Absolutely. Why? Because money is a re- is a it's it's representative of a feeling, of a feeling of freedom, of a feeling of joy, of a feeling of value within us. So you'll start to see that if we don't check ourselves and realize that the essence of life is play. It's really interesting. I was in my head the other day about something. I want to be vulnerable here, so I want to figure out what I was in my head about. Um I think feeling overworked is what it was. I was in my head about feeling overworked, okay? And then after that, I took a couple days to like go be in the lake, be and it was so fun. But before that, because I looked at the reflection, I'm in my head about something. I'm walking down the hallway of my apartment, and you guys have heard this story somewhere else. Someone else, some motivational speakers definitely shared a similar story, but I had this right in my face. I get in the elevator, and of course, there's this beautiful soul who's in a wheelchair. And it's just like those moments right there of like, he's in a wheelchair and I'm interacting with him, and he's great, but I'm just checking myself. You know, I have another friend of mine who's in a wheelchair, and he's he's vulnerable and he shares with me like frequently that he gets frustrated, that sometimes, you know, he gets in his head, he he wishes that he could walk. He wishes he didn't have this disability that he has to deal with. And it's just like we forget that, like, if I were to ask you, what would you rather have, your two arms or a trillion dollars, Ashna? Your two arms. So why can't we feel that high level of celebration for our two arms? If you have legs, your legs and your ears and your senses, right? So it kind of shows us that if we had that trillion dollars, maybe we would get temporarily high, but if we can't value and appreciate our two arms and our physical form and the ability to walk, and I've shared, I've been sharing more frequently my own sister who's a special needs girl and who's handicapped. It's really interesting because my family always says that she's the most well-adjusted one because legitimately she loves her day-to-day life experiences. And she gets on the phone with my mom every night, and she lives on her own. She's got a person that lives with her and helps her. But she goes to these day programs where it's like an adult day program with special needs kids, and she talks all day about how much she loves her day-to-day life experiences, where she she has that little uh electric chair, and like she loves her independence and her ability to like go in this electric chair. And my sister looks different, she's had over like 30 cranial facial surgeries, according to my dad. My mom, it's a lot less, but uh so somewhere in there, right? And she focuses on the joy in her life, she focuses on the play in her life, and I've shared this before, I think, with this group, but where you know, I remember being in conversation with her and she's talking about how funny one of her friends is. And I'll ask her, like, what her friend said to her, and she goes, nothing. I'm like, Well, what was so funny? She goes, and then she starts explaining it. I'm like, can your friend talk? She's like, No. I'm like, what what here I am? We call non-special needs normies. I'm like, I'm a normie. I'm like, I'm trying to figure this out. I'm like, wait, she can't talk. She's hilarious. She's tapped into a stream of play, she's trapped, she's tapped into that stream of joy within her. And the best thing ever is going to these special needs places, right? Where you walk in a room, and if I do like the simplest thing, like pretend to eat shit and fall, I'm a fucking celebrity in there. They're laughing, right? They're having the time of their lives, right? Just like pretending. And my dad, when he goes to these places, he's like, he's the star because he is just tapped also into that stream of play and joy. And it's easy to sort of downplay everything I'm saying here. To go, yeah, that's cute. Yeah, that's great. There's play within us, but I have like real life challenges. Yes, absolutely. But what could begin to shift externally? If all of life is a reflection of our energy, how can our lives begin to change? So I'm gonna look in intuitively for the group to see on a level of feeling like you are tapped into your highest levels of play as a group, the person who has the highest number to an 18%. Okay? So out of a hundred. Yes. So on a level of feeling like you are optimizing your level of play in your life, the highest person in here is at an 18%. We have eight different areas of our life. I want to popcorn those real quick. Who wants to give me one? Mental, what? Emotional will be physical, so we'll say physical. Yeah, so mental, physical. Family. Say it again. So we have eight different areas of our lives, and we're gonna kind of popcorn what they are. So we have mental, physical, family. What else? You have one? Financial. Did you say one? Vocation. So vocation's like your purpose. Did you say one? No, okay. Spiritual, nailed it. Two more. Nice. Passion hobby, and we're doing the eighth one right now. What's that? Social, yeah. Is that what you said? Social. Yeah, social. So I share this because when we are feeling deficient in love in one or more of these eight different areas of our life, this is where the adversity shows up. This is where the obstacles show up. So I want you guys to ask yourself this question this week, okay? Where have I been taking life too seriously in one or more of the eight different areas of my life? The area for life for me, it was career. I was taking it a little bit too seriously in that moment. And then I intentionally was like, I'm gonna go out on the water. I'm gonna go like get a kayak, and I got a kayak on the water. And then the next day I went back on the lake and I had fun intentionally because I realized uh I don't have to like take my like this so seriously. It's meant to be playful, it's meant to be fun. And intentionally creating fun in my own life created more abundance in my career. So here's what we're gonna do. Okay, we're gonna get into groups, and you're gonna share with your partner an area of your life where you think you can begin to generate, activate more play, more joy within your life. And your partner is gonna ask why questions or how questions, right? So if Ashana and I are going back and forth, and maybe I shared with her, okay, I'd like to experience more play, and we're gonna be a little vulnerable here. Maybe like I feel like I've been taking my social life a little too seriously. I think because I value my energy a lot, okay, and I I get worried about disrupting, I don't know, my energy. Because I feel like when I'm my energy feels good and in alignment, I just have more fun. And I feel like I don't want to get influenced by energy that feels not good. So then what she would start to do is go, okay, how can we? She would start to challenge me a little bit. She would start to go, so do people determine your frequency and vibration or are you in control of that? Like you start to challenge you to your own answers. So it's gonna feel challenging on both ends. One to be vulnerable and one to just ask a bunch of questions, see where your intuitive self goes. If you're worried about asking a question, ask it. Set a goal, set an intention. My intention is to change your life and to see if they can get themselves to experience play this week in that area of life. So you might go, okay, how can you engage with play in that area of life? If yours is like, I don't know if I have like a passion hobby, like something that just lights me up. And then you go, well, anytime I engage with the passion hobby, it feels like it's not fun. Then maybe your partner goes, Well, have you tried it more than once? And then the person goes, no. Okay, can maybe you engage with it two or three times this week or a little bit longer. Any questions with this, with this good? Meet up with your number and we'll meet back. Alrighty, friends. Let's gather back around. I know, right? Do you like do you like the heat?

SPEAKER_05 21:35

No, I I mean I live in Texas. Right.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

You have to fit yeah, you have to like it.

SPEAKER_05 21:39

It was like 69 when we left, and I think by the time we leave it's gonna be.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

That's gnarly. And it gets like even hotter out here, right? It's like in the hundreds.

SPEAKER_05 21:49

Oh, in the summer here?

SPEAKER_01 21:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:50

Yeah, it gets like 105.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

Like, yeah, that's that's an R and R. That hurts. That's kind of painful. I'm usually out in the morning though, and then evening, stay out. Okay. I want to hear how it went. How'd it go with you?

unknown 22:06

Me?

SPEAKER_01 22:07

Yes. Um like the receiving or like both. Oh, really well.

SPEAKER_05 22:11

I think that I we kind of resonated a lot with both of you uh what we were talking about. Sure. Um I didn't I I guess exactly express because I was letting her talk, but I feel like something that she was kind of bowing is also like the same situation I was kind of going through.

unknown 22:25

Yeah. Um yeah, I feel like we were like really aligned on how our thoughts were.

SPEAKER_01 22:32

That's beautiful. That's awesome. That's thank you for sharing it. How about you? How'd it go for you?

unknown 22:36

It went well.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 22:37

I think we one thing that was nice is that we both gave each other, like we both, with whatever each of us are struggling with, we kind of help each other with something that we do that helps us. So just like a tip or something, really nice just to share that. So we relate it as well, but we're able to help each other out.

SPEAKER_01 22:57

Yeah, that's beautiful. I found that just like exha having an ear sometimes and expressing and kind of getting it out of the body, right? We we we sort of like start to like have our own realization. Someone shared that last week. Did you share that last week? Maybe. Yeah, so yeah, yeah. Um, but we start to sort of like, you know, if we can hear ourselves and we feel understood in our lives. And it's one of the reasons why I love getting into groups, because it's an opportunity to kind of like you can't really hide when you get into groups and we're doing the exercises that we're doing and things of that nature. So I want to, we're actually gonna get back into groups here in a second. I want to do two intuitive reads, okay? And I'm gonna look in at the thing that is holding you back the most from experiencing, getting that 18% up to like an 82%, 86%, 92%, 98%, you know, you're flying high. So who has not received intuitive guidance from me that wants to go? Okay, one. Uh, okay, we'll do three. Okay, we'll do three. Cool. Sweet. Um, and we'll be back, so we'll do more of these. Zwing, let's start with you. Okay, so let's see. I think it's holding me back more than anything. It's gonna be um, and it could be some stuff you guys brought up in groups. I couldn't hear you guys, but uh, let me see. So it's gonna be something back. Okay. So you guys have heard me share this with you guys frequently. Now, the first thing to understand, the three reads that I'm gonna do today, it's gonna be guidance for everybody. So it sounds like I'm just doing a read on her. I am, but it's also gonna relate to everyone here. You guys have heard me share this frequently. I think I shared it last time we did reads, but many of us tend to separate purpose and life. Meaning I have started to find purpose in my Uber rides, purpose at the grocery store. Right now, career, okay, is holding you back from experiencing that high level of joy. Now, the question I want to ask you, is it actually your career that's holding you back from experiencing that inherent play and joy? Is it actually the career or is it something internally?

SPEAKER_02 25:02

Um for me I think it is I think you kind of know whether the idea of the separation of both is not separate.

SPEAKER_01 25:14

Yes, exactly. So like when I lived in LA, I lived in a nightclub. Lived in a nightclub. No, did not live in a nightclub. I worked as a bus boy in a nightclub. Um and I remember it was challenging for me, and you would think that that had nothing to do with my career. It had everything to do with my career. I had to practice energy work, right? I'm an energy healer now, and I had to practice protecting myself. So right now, the block, on a level of feeling like your career has something to do with your purpose. Yeah, it's at the about the 18% number. So it's it's if we can get that again, get those numbers, which sounds challenging, but play with it in your own life. See how you can start to go. It's not the thing outside of me, it's my relationship with my current career. And start to play with going, my purpose is here, it's existing right now. It'll it'll begin to create some change. But really cool things on the horizon for a career. So cool? Make sense? Cool. Jonathan, you. Okay, let's see what we got. Yours, uh holding you back, okay. So it's gonna be some uh interesting, kind of oscillating between two for you, social and financial for you. Um, let me see why the block so lack of social play, that experience in your social life, it's that's actually more rooted in finances, I think. So it's that's the tie-in. So for you, the block happening, so we're gonna go with finances, so finance is the reason why.

SPEAKER_04 26:54

Okay, so it goes back to 21%.

SPEAKER_01 26:59

Okay, just getting different on a level of feeling like, again, if we go back to, we could kind of utilize purpose and life aren't separate, the same, and you already know this with finances, is that the feeling that we're looking to extract from money, it's it's all around us, meaning technically, because energy is not created nor destroyed, you guys are trillionaires, you are billionaires. So on a level of feeling like you are currently um as rich as source sees you, you're at 21%. Okay. So for you, it's starting to ask these questions. What would I like to feel from my finances, okay? Or even go socially, and how can I begin to feel this high level of abundance in my day-to-day experiences with the clothing that's on my back, right? In partnership, in um iPhone, in your car, whatever it may be, and starting to go, okay, it's not like we talked about third, it's not the finances that's causing the the internal battle. It's the feeling of yeah, it's the feeling associated with it. Does that make sense? Sick. You, my friend, brave soul showing up for the first time, throwing the hand up. Okay. That's the thing that's holding me back from listening. It's gonna be social. Okay, yours is gonna be social as well. Okay, so feeling blocked socially. Um, specific area, it's gonna be like, okay. You're a giver. Okay. You're a giver. You love to make people feel incredible. It's one of your gifts. God has given each of us gifts. It's really beautiful when you look it intuitively. Most of us downplay our gifts, right? You're aware that that's a gift, but if we don't give that love that we give to others, to ourselves, it can leave us feeling exhausted. It can leave us feeling drained. And that drained feeling cuts off the circulation between us and that innate play that resides within. So for you, the thing that's causing that block is really um, and again, it's it's part of your big heart, but it's it's being hard on the self, really. Being hard on the self for one, feeling drained. Like I'm a lover, like I want to make people feel good. Why do I feel so bad about like these moments where I just feel so drained just in conversation? It's because you're giving a lot of your energy. And for all of you guys in here, it's just every single week, and and I almost hold back for you know, in fear of sounding redundant, but life is happening for us. So the question that I want to challenge you to ask yourself this week is go, how can I love myself with just a little bit of energetic boundaries? Going, you know what, maybe I'm not gonna answer this phone call. Maybe I'm gonna like just listen and I'm not gonna take on the responsibility to have this person feel good, right? And I'm gonna go, I'm gonna love myself regardless. Brother, I could totally relate to it, you know, want others to feel good. And most people's inherent high-level gift from source, from God, it also becomes their greatest challenge. So this is a thing that has a a huge, it's a huge asset in regards to your purpose. It's sort of, it's sort of like you have this gift to fly, right? And none of us taught us how to like uh turn these gifts that we have into skill sets. And if if I just learned how to fly, I might fly into that tree, I might fly into a wall. So for you, it's going to have this gift. It's not about shutting down this gift, it's about how can I actually like love myself first, then I'm gonna make Billy Bob feel good, then I'm gonna make this person feel good while also honoring myself. Make sense? You're gonna experience a lot of joy on the other side of that, okay? So for all of you guys here, I want you to take a little bit of what you heard with everyone here and start to go. How can I to the smallest degree begin to experience a little bit more play, a little bit more joy, a little bit more serious silliness in regards to the different areas of my life. You'll start to realize that your intuitive self begins to open up. You start to realize that when you open up your intuitive self, you harness higher levels of what? Clarity. Yeah, and you tap more into clarity, you tap more into yourself, and yourself is unconditional love. So we're gonna close this out by getting into groups again. One of the greatest ways that we increase our intuitive intelligence, we increase the clarity that resides within us, is through appreciation. Now, we appreciate each other because we sort of understand what we appreciate about each other. But again, we forget to appreciate our arms, our ears, because we're not focused on why we appreciate these parts of ourselves, our day-to-day lives. So, you're gonna share what you appreciate with your partner, and we're gonna do the question game. We're gonna go why. Why do you appreciate that? And you're gonna share why. Like, okay, I really appreciate my dog. Let's go with you. Why do you appreciate your dog?

SPEAKER_03 31:52

Why do you appreciate your dog?

SPEAKER_01 32:02

I love that. I love that. How do you um how do you find ways to appreciate that? Yeah. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 32:25

Because it reminds me that you don't have to get it.

SPEAKER_01 32:30

Yes. I okay, I love it. When you walk in the door, see stoked when you come home? Stoked, yes. So you're just gonna keep asking questions. See where your questions go. Start with why, right? So your partner's gonna share what they're grateful for. Start with why, why are you grateful for, and then start to ask questions, okay? So let's go. Break. Alrighty, y'all. We can meet back up.

unknown 32:59

I'm like a dog.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

Alrighty. I want to hear from y'all how it went.

unknown 33:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:22

How'd it go?

unknown 33:23

Good, good.

SPEAKER_01 33:24

Yeah? Yeah, it was great. Yeah? Sweet. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 33:28

I don't want to talk about her or me, but yeah, she was definitely talking about her physical, which is crazy how you're saying, like, you're partying up before too. And like what she talked about was exactly like what I was thinking she said, exactly what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_01 33:38

Isn't that funny how that works?

unknown 33:40

It was crazy, so she was talking about being physical and how it's a non-verbal way for her expression.

SPEAKER_01 33:45

Wow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:48

And then I was just talking about gratitude over just stuff present.

SPEAKER_01 33:54

Yes. Like just remembering, like, okay, every time we kind of look to like if we go for these areas of our life, everything else kind of becomes dull.

unknown 34:02

We don't realize, like, oh, I'm right now.

SPEAKER_01 34:05

Like it's happening right now. Yeah, I know. There's all these goals that we're we're going after, and then you attract them, and then there's always something more that we're like, this thing's gonna make me happy, this thing's gonna make me happy, this thing's gonna make me happy. What if we develop the mastery over appreciation and gratitude for the present moment, for our day-to-day life experiences, for the challenges? And one of the ways that I found that we can do this, sort of romanticizing life a little bit. Put on the headphones, go on that hot girl walk, right? And just see the beauty in the struggle, in the obstacle. Someone the other day was, let's romanticize that noise. So so someone the other day on uh socials was talking about um their like a parent of theirs passing, and they said, I would never want that sadness to go away. He was like, I love he was like I actually love it. It's hard to explain to people because it like elicits this high level of love for this parent that passed away in their life. I'd never want that to go away. And you watch a movie, you want the sad parts to go away, you want the obstacles to go away. So really beautiful. Let's go two more shares. How'd it go for you? 100%. 100%. It's hard sometimes. Like I know that's hard for me, especially as a teacher, because my um my obstacle has been if I'm teaching, and this is so backwards, because people want to know that you're going through things, but since I'm teaching and I'm helping people with their lives and things of that nature, if I'm sharing something I'm currently going through, are they gonna think, you know, whatever wherever my mind goes, X, Y, and Z, that this doesn't work, whatever it may be. So I've had to really challenge myself, and it's still difficult to go, hey, like this is something I'm going through. And it's so funny when I share it on uh uh, you know, in in a place like here, the podcast, the webinar, it's always the best feedback because people start to feel like something's wrong with them if they perceive you as everything's right all the time. And even as a teacher, it brings relief if what I what I've learned. I'm like, oh, you go through shit? Perfect. I may not be going through what I'm going through isn't so negative. So thank you for sharing that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:00

Um yeah, very similar to which we uh discuss kind of our our um what would be before and why. Um it definitely helped me, you know, align and make sure that I'm on the right path because I feel like she helps me realize that, you know, I am always kind of searching for the goal, but it's good to enjoy the little moments you know, before you get to that place in order to be present, to be at peace with yourself, and to just enjoy the people around you, your family, and just everything going on in your life. So it's very just much focusing on like being present and living life.

SPEAKER_01 36:40
