So accepting where you are in the here and now, in the present moment, is absolutely vital for you to really expand your energy, for you to really elevate your senses, your belief system, your identity and really take on what it is that you're here to do and be able to stand strong in it and live it. Hello and welcome to another episode of Embody your Energy, and I've been really guided to bring this episode to you as something that's come up as part of my journey and as part of many of my clients in this last week couple of weeks, so I wanted to bring it to the podcast so that you can explore this aspect of self-mastery for yourself and see where it sits with you in terms of your own personal growth. So the topic of today's episode is about embodying radical self-acceptance, and this is about accepting all the parts of yourself, so I always like to connect it to your brilliance, your uniqueness, the things that make you remarkable, exceptional, completely fabulous, the things that allow you to be out of this world, that blow your own minds, that allow you to feel your own potency and your own purpose. All of these things that really allow you to integrate. Everything that's about embodying your energy, but everything that allows you to be uniquely you. So self-acceptance is really key in allowing or unlocking your unique gifts, your unique perspectives, your unique experience, and I have worked with many leaders where this piece has been pivotal for not how they lead their business, but how they lead themselves within the business, how they lead themselves within the friendships, how they lead themselves within different relationships.

Speaker 1: 2:34

And, ultimately, at the heart of self-acceptance is self-love. There's an element of forgiveness, there's a real piece around owning owning and ownership and a real aspect around trust. So, if I invite you to think about self-acceptance and how much do you actually accept yourself, how much do you accept your talents, your skills, how much can you stand strong in those? For example, I have a real strong inner knowing for certain. I can transform anybody's life. If they are ready to be transformed and take the leap into their own transformation, I can absolutely support them in whatever that looks like for them, whether it is health, whether it is relationships, whether it is abundance, whether it is money, whether it is fulfillment, whatever it is, everything is an aspect of beliefs and energetic mastery is an aspect of beliefs and energetic mastering. So when you ask yourself, how much do I accept myself? How much do I accept my talents? How much I can help people, my divine service, shall we say? How much do you accept that? Are you in the same camp as me? 100%, no-transcript. Unique, it's not necessarily different.

Speaker 1: 4:29

Then the next piece around self-acceptance is like okay, so I've owned my gifts, I've owned my uniqueness. I'm here like in my own four walls, living my best life, thinking that I have everything coming good. I'm honoring my mind, my body. I'm in a great place. The next piece is can you hold it? Can you hold that belief? Can you hold that self-acceptance? Can you hold that expansion? Can you hold the identity? Can you hold all of the parts of your uniqueness? Or does it feel heavy? Does it feel like you're spinning too many plates, that you're going to crash and burn? And that's a real big piece, because if you struggle to hold this self-acceptance, then it's not anchored in, and if you struggle to hold it, then when you're attracting in your desires, you're not going to be able to hold them again because you haven't been able to hold things that are within you.

Speaker 1: 5:30

Does that make sense? So the ability to hold your self-acceptance, hold you. Do you know what? I accept myself, no matter what happens around me. I accept that I'm on this journey. I accept all of the things that I've got that are absolutely brilliant. I accept that I'll be forever learning. I accept that I'm absolutely in a great place, whatever place that may be, because tomorrow is a new clean sheet. You rewrite your story, you rewrite the script, you create whatever it is into your desire. It's always a clean sheet.

Speaker 1: 6:01

So accepting where you are in the here and now, in the present moment, is absolutely vital for you to really expand your energy, for you to really elevate your senses, your belief system, your identity and really take on what it is that you're here to do and be able to stand strong in it and live it. So we've got to get to a place for accepting all of our uniqueness, accepting all of our gifts, accepting all of our energetic frequencies. Then we move to a place of holding. Can you hold it? Do you dance in and out it? I call it the hokey-cokey. Do you dance in and out of your brilliance? Do you dance in and out of your trust? Do you dance in and out of your self-belief? Do you dance in and out of your personal power, whatever it is for you? Do you find yourself struggling or not able to consistently hold this great place. Now you're never going to be in a place where you're holding it forever, because that's not necessarily the human experience is to be in a place where we are nudged out of alignment or nudged out of holding, should we say, by external things or internal things, and it's our ability and our honor to ourselves to bring ourselves back using inner grits, using determination, using energetic practices and using belief systems to allow ourselves to be back to who we really are and what we're here to do, and to be able to do that on a daily basis with practices and all sorts of tools and techniques, as well as your presence. If you would like help with any of them, then just reach out and then we go to amplifying. So we have got this self-acceptance, we have attracted in, we feel like we really accept ourselves. Then we're holding it. We're feeling the fire burn within us. We're feeling really good. We're feeling strong in mind, strong in body, we're feeling really resilient, we're feeling really capable, our capabilities are extending, our expansion is growing and everything feels pretty good.

Speaker 1: 8:08

The next piece is and I will say this to many people and it's also a nudge to myself is. You can have all of these great gifts, you can have all of this uniqueness, you can have all of this talent, you can feel absolutely epic on multiple levels, but if you're not sharing it and being of divine service, then who is it actually for? Is it for your ego? Is it for your um close people, because you don't want anybody else to know, because you're scared and fear comes in? Is there a piece around um imposter? Is there a piece around comparisonitis? What are the pieces that stop you from actually being your true essence and vibrating in your own personal frequency and embodying everything that makes you uniquely you and powerful in all of the ways and shapes and sizes, in every which way possible?

Speaker 1: 8:58

I'm passionate about this. I'm passionate about people being able to accept themselves, create this love, create this trust, create this belief system that absolutely knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are phenomenal, and then be able to translate that into attracting everything that you desire, holding that, holding that acceptance, holding those desires, holding the cash, holding the conviction, holding the possibilities, all of that great stuff, and then amplifying. How can we actually get into the world and amplify? How can we amplify the voice? How can we amplify the impact, how can we amplify the brightness of the light, all of those things, how can we do all of those things? And ultimately, they're an inner outer game. They are work both ways.

Speaker 1: 9:42

Your inner world will create your outer reality and your outer reality will show you, without a doubt, when you are tuned in, what pieces are there to work on, what pieces are there to release, what pieces are knocking you out of your frequency, what are the pieces that are allowing you to be pulled back? Where are you giving your power away? Where are you giving your presence away? Where are you um surrendering in a negative way? Where are you surrendering in a really great way? So I'm excited to bring this episode to you.

Speaker 1: 10:18

It's about self-acceptance, but so much more. We want to start with self-awareness. How can we become more aware? What do we already accept about ourselves? What do we, if a one of a polar opposite, reject about ourselves? Where do we stand on those questions? This is a deep, profound question. Where do you reject yourself? Where do you reject your abilities, your capabilities? Where do you reject your abilities, your capabilities? Where do you reject your presence? Where do you reject other people being able to receive your gifts, your impact, your wisdom, all of those kind of stuff.

Speaker 1: 10:53

I have numerous ways that I can help you move through this piece. If you know you're at the beginning of your journey and the self-acceptance feels tough, it feels heavy, it feels like it's not anchored in, or you're further on and you're like, hey, do you know what? I'm ready? My identity is absolutely skyrocketing and now my belief system, or my energetics, has got to catch up and I feel like I'm out of sorts and doubt myself like I never used to. Let me know, reach out if you know that it is something that is blocking you, because I would love to support you through that. But for now, tune in, accept yourself more, accept yourself deeper and remember tomorrow is always a new opportunity to rewrite the story, to play a different game, to stand strong in a different playground. Take care. Huge love to you all.
