Curiosity is a beautiful, beautiful state. It's very much a childlike wonder state. I wonder what will happen. Oh, my goodness, this is so exciting, or expansive, or unknown, and I'm curious because I really don't know and it could be so, so good. Hello, and welcome to another episode of Embody your Energy, and today we're going to take a deep dive into what I believe precedes self-belief. I believe that self-belief is so, so important in your whole journey of fulfillment, success, happiness, joy, all of the great things in life, and whatever you believe to be true will be true. So, if you believe in yourself, if you believe that anything's possible, if you believe that success is yours for the taking, if you believe it's already done, that is what will happen, and you will get the energy and the energetics of that being true to you. If, however, you believe that it's going to be hard, it's going to be a struggle, it's going to be out there, it's going to be for everybody else, then that also will be your reality. So I've touched on belief in many episodes, and today I really wanted to talk about something that's come up a lot with my clients recently and something that I see time and time again in a dancing in and out type of fashion. And this is what precedes you. Believing, precedes you believing that anything is possible. You can have it all. Whatever that is for you, you can do it your way, in your unique brilliance, and everything will work out exactly as it's meant to. And what precedes that belief, or what precedes that way of feeling or that way of living, or that presence or that embodiment, is the state of feeling curious or curiosity. There is a beautiful energy with curiosity, with being in that. Well, I'm just going to see, I've got the nudge and I'm just going to see what it's about. I feel called, I feel pulled, I feel attracted to, I feel like there's something guiding me here, something guiding me here, whatever resonates with you. There's a peace always that ignites the curiosity, and curiosity is a beautiful, beautiful state. It's a very much a childlike wonder state. I wonder what will happen. Oh, my goodness, this is so exciting or expansive or unknown, and I'm curious because I really don't know and it could be so, so good and for whatever reason.

Speaker 1: 3:13

As we enter adulthood, as we enter different spaces and places in life, like that, this piece seems to drop away. Unlimiting beliefs and patterns and behaviours and habits take over. But if we could all just ignite for a moment a sense of curiosity, a sense of awe, a sense of wonderment, a sense of I wonder what will happen next. I wonder what will happen if. I wonder who I will see if I go there. I wonder who I will be if I do this.

Speaker 1: 4:00

I wonder how I will show up if I had no limits. I wonder if how I would show up if I had no limits. I wonder how I would show up if I felt truly confident in myself. I wonder how I would show up if I 100% believed in myself and get really curious as to what's coming up for yourself, what's coming up in your mind and what can you feel in your body, knowing and trusting that everything is possible and anything is possible and what we focus on grows. And when we can continue to focus on all of the great stuff, the good stuff, the expansion, the possibilities, the success, the happiness, the joy, the laughter, we can get curious and we can get playful and we can get fun as to how we can bring more of this in, how can we do more of what we love impacting more and more people, serving more and more people in a way that just feels so joyful, so expansive, so light, so free. And the key for that is curiosity, feeling curious that there's something more, that there's something else out there that you've yet to unfold, that you've yet to land. And one of the beautiful things with curiosity is it has its own energetic space and place and it's a beautiful momentum energy. So when you feel curious, you're like do you know what? I just wonder if. I wonder what will happen today. I wonder what will happen if I just did this. I wonder what will happen if I set this intention for the month. I wonder what will happen if I just showed up and when we can play in the energy of, I wonder if and allow our minds to go. Do you know? I wonder if I did this and it went as well as I possibly could. I wonder if I did this and it went as well as I possibly could. I wonder if this happened and this happened and this happened and they all went as well as I possibly could or as they possibly could, what would happen then? What would really happen then? And allow yourself to be in that moment of expansion, of joy, of happiness, of success, of fulfillment, of harmony, of abundance. Do you know what? I wonder what will happen. This is going to blow my mind. I wonder where this is going to take me. I cannot believe the possibilities.

Speaker 1: 7:09

Curiosity is a beautiful, beautiful place. I want to take you to the sister energy for a moment. Around curiosity, and guess what? No surprises. It is fear. Fear likes to halt. Curiosity likes to restrain, curiosity likes to pull you back, because curiosity is the unknown. Curiosity is the sea of what ifs, oh, oh, my goodness, the potential, the possibility, all of that greatness. And fear likes the safety, it likes the normal, it likes the routine. So, being able to move past all of that and being able to truly embody all that, you are able to truly embody all that you are and have this element of curiosity and freedom and space and expansion, and what if and what if and what if.

Speaker 1: 8:06

No matter what level of life you're at, no matter where you are in your success journey of fulfillment, of cash, of harmony, whatever it is that you're focusing on, allowing yourself to truly anchor in all of the love and joy and allow curiosity to run through you. What if I did this? Oh, my goodness, what might happen? What might happen? And do you know what If this happened? Then this might happen, then this might happen. Play in potentiality, play in the land of potentiality. So fear will come in fear of the unknown, fear of being out of control, fear of not being able to hold the potential, fear of loss, fear of gain, multiple fears. Not being able to hold the potential, fear of loss, fear of gain, multiple fears. But ultimately, the goal is always allow curiosity to be bigger, allow your beliefs to be bigger, allow your energy to be embodied and allow fulfilment, flow, enjoyment, bliss, harmony all of those great things to be present in your life.

Speaker 1: 9:32

As you listen to this episode, I'd like you to just tune into how curious you think you are in your life.

Speaker 1: 9:37

Are you curious? Do you let your mind wander to possibilities of greatness rather than possibilities of negativity, possibilities of abundance rather than possibilities of doubt, possibilities of more and more pleasure Rather than limiting joy? And just notice what you notice, feel what you feel, see what you see All of those great things. And let me know, let me know what comes up, let me know if you're ready to dare to leap into the unknown, to dare to leap into the unknown, to dare to leap into your greatest life yet, your greatest expansion ever. If you're ready and you dare to leap, please send me a message. Let's get in touch, let's get you leaping into the unknown, into the space of curiosity, into the potentiality, because as soon as you do that, magic happens, the universe meets you and you get on your trajectory of success in whatever way it looks like and feels like for you and with an absolute certainty of fulfillment, being at the heart of it all. Take care, play in the playground, sit in the space of curiosity and see what comes up. Huge love to you.
