When that comment came on my Facebook feed, I couldn’t believe it….

It was from one of my podcast listeners and she was loving the podcast about your “heart mind” versus your “thinking mind” (click here to listen to it) and then she said she’d listened to Episode 92 at least 20 times.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

It likely doesn’t to you but it really does to me.

I do the podcast because I feel called to do it. Because I feel like sharing the messages are my way to serve and create an impact in the world.

And sometimes, even though you see the number of “downloads”, you don’t know the impact that you are making.

And between this listener’s comments and one other listener who shared this week that she listened to me on and off during her 8 hour drive, they RENEW my SPIRIT, it PROPEL me to KEEP GOING and make me SMILE.

The lesson thought for you, is this:

You never know who is listening, reading or observing…

You don’t really know the impact that you are making…

BUT

You must remember that you are CREATING AN IMPACT.

So, do more of what you are CALLED TO DO.
Listen.
Take action.
Realize that your message, your product, and your thing is important and needed.

Step in.
Go for it.

Someone needs to hear it.
You will shift their life and yours.

The latest episode digs into what to do if you feel uncomfortable or a bit afraid to go for it…

Episode 105: What to do if you are afraid?

Live your life with purpose, do YOU.

Why do we SABOTAGE ourselves?

We figure out what we want…that dream, desire or goal or intuitive hit that we had.

We are super excited.

We overcome the fear and the resistance and take the first step.

It feels exhilarating, liberating, exciting and like it is all finally coming together.

Then we take the next few steps. And maybe even months worth of action.

We start seeing momentum. We start seeing success. We are getting closer to what we truly want. The 15 lbs out of 20lbs of weight has been lost. Our relationship is more committed and we are enjoying each other’s company again. The business is taking off and the new offer/product/service is gaining traction. Our career is thriving with our renewed focus. We are meditating, going to bed early and clean eating daily and feeling the positive effects on our energy.

And then….

We begin to sabotage our progress. We stop being as methodical in our practices, we intentionally say something we know will trigger our partner, we go out and buy donuts, we start watching late night TV again….

WHY?

Why do we do SO MUCH work to then ‘blow it all up’, ruin the results and basically go back to what we were doing before?

Because change is scary. Because we aren’t naturally wired to step outside our comfort zone. Because we may have prepared for the actions but we didn’t prepare our mind.

We sabotage ourselves because we haven’t trained ourselves to keep going regardless of thoughts, feelings, emotions and moods.

We haven’t really defined our reason why or it’s not big enough for us to keep our momentum going.

We aren’t reminding ourselves everyone morning on a daily basis of what we truly want and why.

We aren’t holding ourselves accountable and doing what we said we would.

We aren’t doing a daily practice of appreciation and gratitude so that we are consciously aware of how far we have come.

If you are currently SABOTAGING YOURSELF in some way (in any area of your life from finances to relationships to your work to your health and well-being), ask yourself WHY?

And then get back on track. Identify what needs to shift.

Do you need to…

  • Keep going regardless of how you feel?
  • Revisit and redefine your reason why?
  • Refine how you plan for your day and ensure you are committed each morning?
  • Actually do what you say you were going to do?
  • Appreciate more daily of where you were and where you’re headed?

Realize what you need to do. Then, re-commit.

And go do it!

OR

Keep sabotaging yourself and don’t realize your dreams.

This choice is up to you.

Strategize your Life, do YOU.

When it FEELS like it’s ALL against you…

You know what I’m talking about…when things aren’t going your way and then even more of your world starts to crumble and then…

What do you do?
How do you respond?
Do you cave to the pressure or does the pressure make you rise?

When it gets too hard…what do you do?

Do you quit or do you shift, adjust and create a new strategy?

Do you keep going?

And then the big question….is the world really against you?

Or is it all actually working for you?

Is it really providing you with the possibility and opportunity to see how powerful you really are, what your capacity really is and if you are willing to keep going after what you truly want.

Listen in to Episode 66: When it feels like it’s ALL against YOU to dive deeper into what to do when the world seems like it’s stacked against you.

All you actually need to do when this happens is:
FIND A WAY.
You just have to FIGURE IT OUT.

So, if you feel like everything is against you right now, it’s time to decide what you truly want, buckle down and keep moving through all of the chaos and the trials and tribulations towards the life you were born to live.

Strategize your Life, do YOU.

How you show up MATTERS…in a BIG WAY.

Everything is energy. How you show up energetically matters. It matters in your relationships, with your health and well-being, in your career and business and with regards to your personal growth and well-being.

It’s time assess how you are showing up and what needs to shift.

Are you showing up tired?
Are you showing up irritated with a lack of patience?
Are you showing up with more energy for strangers than for your own family?
Are you going ALL IN on your business or kind of doing it?
Are you showing up open to new ideas, concepts, strategies and things to try or are you skeptical?
Are you showing up in a way that those closest to you feel like they matter?
Are you showing up for YOU?

Your ENERGY MATTERS. It impacts your growth. It impacts your abundance. It impacts the level of your energy and it impacts what you attract into your life.

The universe conspires for you and matches your vibration.

If you aren’t exactly where you want to be in all areas of your life, you need to shift your energy.

Take a moment to assess this. And then do something about it. Sometimes just recognizing it is enough. And other times, you need to fuel your body differently, you need to sleep more, you need to stop doing some things and you need to give yourself a good old kick in the ass.

This past week, all of the podcast episodes of Ninja Jill KNOWS touch on your energetic impact and how you are showing up…I recommend that you listen in to create some momentum and learn some additional strategies to shift your energy.

Episode 61: When being too certain is a problem

Episode 62: Why it’s TIME

Episode 63: What energy are you showing up with?

Episode 64: What do you ACT on? Memories or inspiration?

Be AWARE of the ENERGY and the IMPACT you are making with how you are showing up.

Make sure you are creating the life that you desire and the impact that you want to make.

Live POWERfully, do YOU.

3 Plumbers later…why knowing and working in your wheelhouse matters.

So, our pipes in our master bathroom are freezing up at varying degrees of temperature. The trades are all blaming each other (it’s a new house). The plumbers think it’s the insulators fault, the insulation guys think it’s the framer’s fault and the framer’s blame the plumbers or something like that…you get the idea. A lot of finger pointing, a lot of consults and not a lot of fixing going on.

Me? I just want it fixed. ASAP.

And most of them think the garage needs to be heated (not the solution…just a bandaid so I said a big NO to that one as the first action we take).

Finally, plumber #3 shows up. He’s the solution guy. He’s the plumbing strategist…the ninja! He’s unassuming but on it. He knows what he’s talking about, he asks if everyone is blaming everyone else and he explains why there is a pocket of cold air that is making everything freeze. This guy WORKS in his WHEELHOUSE.

He’s smart enough to know that he can’t hold a candle to the rough-in guy (plumber #2) when it comes to doing rough-ins but he KNOWS that he is the solutions guy and that is why he just had a 70 hr work week. (Note: the 3rd plumber arrived at 10 am on a Sunday. Dedication to the work.).

Moral of the story: KNOW YOUR WHEELHOUSE. Work in your wheelhouse. (Listen in to Episode 42: Are you wasting your time and your talent to explore why this is so important.)

What’s your wheelhouse? What you are truly good at. Your skillset. Your unique talents and abilities. What people ask the most for.

Showcase them. Exploit them. Use them to your advantage and to make more money. Hire the rest of your tasks out or spend minimal time on them during your day. And, don’t waste too much time training on what you are only kind of good at. Focus on what you are GREAT at and get even better.

Be plumber #3. He SAVED the DAY, provided the most value (he knew what he was good at and he exploited his skillset) and I could tell he loved his job. (And, he made the most money.)
