Uploading vs Downloading
/Being able to surrender in order to receive.
I love this topic so much because in order to receive and in order to receive abundance, in order to receive clients, in order to receive customers and money and wealth, you need to be able to let go. You need to be able to surrender and trust. What I mean by this has a lot to do with you. It has to do with you being able to trust yourself. It has to be able, it has to do with you being able to surrender to your purpose. That is so much bigger than you and being able to let go that you are serving something that is so much bigger than you a lot of the time.
Your Purpose
We think that we are choosing our purpose. We are thinking that we are choosing our business and we're choosing that next step. But when you can tune out and tune in, you can really allow yourself to get into alignment, to hear the whispers and the nudges in your soul that are being given to you to guide you into that next best step. I can 100% say that where I'm at right now was not necessarily where I thought I was going to be.
This purpose is something that was given to me. I was guided into this space and it's because I turned off all the noise and I was able to listen in my soul what that next best step was and what I was guided to do. And so the purpose in which I'm serving right now and the purpose that I'm going to continue to serve, I can almost guarantee that even in this space right now, right where I am right now, I still have no idea of the impact I'm gonna make in the world.
This purpose is not ours. It's given to us whether you believe in God or the universe, it's given to us by something so much bigger than us. And so it's up to us to, to be able to turn off into tune in.
Comparison
If you are consistently downloading and over consuming and other people's content, then you're going to have a really, really tough time in being able to know what your voice is and being able to trust yourself and really be able to serve from your purest part of your soul. It's something that we all get caught up in and it's something that we all have to diligently work on. And I know that this is something that I have been caught up in this myself in the past and even to this day, I still get caught up in, in scrolling social media or looking at different people's profiles or their content and thinking, “oh my gosh, I wish I was mind was as good as theirs”, or “I wish I could make a post like theirs” or “I wish I could do a live video like theirs.”

You are just a vessel
Your, your body is a vessel, right? I love to explain it this way... you personally have your intuition and you have your gut and then you have your voice, right? You have your fingers you have your messaging, you have the ability to speak today. Your intuition is the only connection to your higher purpose or to your higher guide. Your, stomach, your gut, those little nudges, those whispers, you feel that is the only connection you have to your higher guide and what that next step is for you. And so you have to allow it to come through. You follow your intuition, follow those, not just follow those whispers and then use your voice and use your body as a vessel to share that message, right? That's all you are. And so a lot of the time, whether it comes to my content or comes to see a course or something I'm creating or putting out into the world, it takes me to be able to step back and of course stop consuming everyone else's information.
Allow yourself to shut off and tune in
Some of the things that I like to do or some of my suggestions on how to best shut off and tune in are
Meditate - Even if it's 5 minutes or 10 minutes, it doesn't need to be some hour long deep meditation. But being able to take 5 to 10 minutes just to put your phone away and to shut off and tune in and just listen to your soul and listen to those nudges is so freaking powerful.
Go out with friends or family - Go for lunch with your mom or your friend or family member or someone that lights you up and can allow you to shut off being in the moment and feel really amazing. Go for lunch with them.
Go for a walk in nature - Go to a park, go walk outside. Just be able to soak up the world, soak up the energy that the world and nature and mother earth and gives you. There's something so powerful about that when you were able just to tune out in and look at the world and see how big and beautiful it is, you know, in, in comparison to us.
By doing that, you're going to have these divine downloads that come through you. They don't come when you're looking for them. They don't come when you have your face in your phone or when you're scrolling, when other than people's content or if your eyes like so sore cause you're staring at your computer for so long. They come when you are able to shut off the outside world and really tune in to your own intuition.
