WOMEN SIPPING ON LIFE (with doctor shannon)


May 16, 2022

Today I share what works when it comes to creating change... This episode is a continuation of yesterday’s EPISODE 1657: Why I Don’t Set Goals. It’s a more detailed explanation of the 3 Secrets of why I don’t set goals, and what works when it comes to creating change.

For me it began with wanting something different and new, while being tired (and done) with trying to use traditional goal-setting methods to create what I desired.

Then one day I heard the words, conscious, grateful, and fearless in my heart.

That day I made the decision to make these 3 words my FOCUS for the entire year.

In that year I created massive results, incredible change, and experienced the desires of my life becoming my reality.

Since that day I haven’t stopped being conscious, grateful, and fearless.

I had discovered a new way to create change after making these discoveries.

1. Goal-setting doesn’t work.

If you desire incredible change, it’s time to get conscious about what you desire to change, and the commitments you’re making to it.

Don’t set GOALS. Make COMMITMENTS.

2. Change is natural, healthy, and easy.

Does that sound crazy?

Seriously, change isn’t hard. Perhaps it’s because you’re resisting change, or attempting to set goals time and time again, that’s making it seem hard.

Chasing a carrot you never seem to catch, while running from a stick that’s chasing you…now that’s HARD.

Running from your desires and dreams…that’s even harder!

Instead, get your desires and dreams out in front of you.

Begin to create the change you desire.

When you get on board with change, it becomes easy.

Now I didn’t say, it’s without work. However, work is creative energy.

When you put your creative energy toward what you’re committed to and you’re “ALL IN”, and in an inspired, creative mode…it’s easy!

You’re not the same person you once were. You’re changing every day.

You’re either growing up or growing down.

You’re either creating constructively or deconstructing. You get to decide.

What are you going to put your energy on?

The reality is, we were designed to grow, and change.

That's why we're not still pooping in our pants, with someone else changing our diapers. Thank God.

We’ve learned. We’ve grown. We started walking. We started talking.

Change is natural. Resisting change is unnatural. 

Change is growth.

I believe people resist it because they had a bad experience with “goal-setting” in the past.

It’s about creating, building, fully experiencing, and growth.

Natural. Healthy. Easy.

3. Disagreement causes distraction.

A lot of times when it comes to creating the desires of our hearts, we say we don’t have TIME for it. We put it on the back burner of our lives.

The more you say this, the less time you’ll have for it.

When is the good day?

When is the right time for you to go all in with your life?

To fully commit and create the changes you say you desire?

You say there’s no time or too many distractions…

But if you get in AGREEMENT with the desires of your heart and fully commit to creating change the distractions go away because you’re no longer focused on them.

You’re all in or you’re not.

One sip at a time. One step at a time…fully AGREEING with the desires of your heart.

These 3 Secrets can help set you free.

Give up the goal-setting.

Start committing to what you desire.

Stop resisting change, and saying it’s hard.

Get on board and change on your terms.

Get in agreement with yourself, and your desires.
