And I am in the midst of my 30 days of podcasting every day for 30 days. And honestly, this episode didn’t almost didn’t happen. It’s 11:10 at night, oops, 11:11 make a wish! And it’s been a day. But you know what? We’re here. I wanted to share something that came up for me today.

So I have a spiritual teacher who I work with on a weekly basis. And we do an hour to an hour and a half calls. And we’re just working on a lot of different stuff, working on my spiritual gifts, clearing my energy, doing a lot of next-level spiritual healing, healing work for me for this next phase of my life. It’s been really interesting. It’s been really powerful. And I’ve just seen profound and heartfelt profound effects from this work.

Something came through today during our work together. And the thing that came through for me was, I realized that, and I think a lot of us do this, which is why I’m sharing it. When there is work to be done. I am so dramatic about it in my brain. And sometimes because I can be so dramatic about it, it takes me longer to do it. Or I procrastinate and then sometimes it doesn’t get done. So sometimes we create stories about things like that so hard, or oh my gosh, those steps to get there are new and complicated and confusing. And then we come up with all of these different stories. And I realize for me, that creating chaos, and having drama surrounding getting something done is something I think I’ve done my whole life. And for me, I think because there was always a lot of chaos in my house growing up. I’m one of nine kids. Big Italian. Irish family from Philadelphia, so loud, obnoxious, you know, lots of different dramatic dynamics, my parents separated when I was 13. There’s a lot of drug addicts in my family like there was just a lot of chaos. You know, chaos and drama is something that I think we all became accustomed to in my house, me and all of my siblings. And so there was never ease and flow in my house, like, nothing was ever easy. That was the mentality like life’s not easy. Things aren’t easy, things don’t come easily. And what I realized today is that when I put the bullshit, and the stories, and the drama aside, things are a lot easier than my conscious mind likes to pretend they are. What would life look like, if I could just say, and live and embody? This is actually easy. This is actually simple. This is actually how life can be flowy, imagine really stepping into that, and embodying that mindset, how much easier and flowy life is. And I can do that. And I have done that in certain areas of my life. But today I had this profound realization that so often, I still am kind of being dramatic. And I don’t say it out loud. And that’s the thing. I don’t say it to other people, I say it in my brain and I say it to myself. And you know, the first step in changing a behavior or changing a way of thinking, is first acknowledging it. So if you are someone like me who has had that struggle, or you’re listening to this podcast, and you’re realizing for the first time, Oh shit, I do that too. I totally see you. And for me, the first step is acknowledging and honoring, and knowing where that has come from. Like for me, I know it, I have a sense of where it comes from in my life. And so then the very next step is to start to acknowledge it when it’s coming up and begin to change the talk track in your brain. One thought at a time.

So each time these thoughts come up, we stop ourselves. And we change the talk, we change the conversation. No, this actually isn’t difficult. I’m creating a story in my brain because of past experiences. It is not difficult. I’m making it difficult. Does that make sense? I hope that that makes sense. And I have a feeling that this will resonate with some of you because I think a lot of us struggle with this and we don’t even realize it. So with that, I love you guys. I’m happy that I’m on today doing another quick little podcast and I hope that this was helpful for someone, even just one of you.
