Cindy inspired pull that keeps me going when you know I’m having a DJ and I’m driving 4 hours to a gig that’s not fun I’m not passionate about that you know or you know When do you go from a midnight Slot 2 or 4 a.m. slot know the same goes with my coaching practice and I’m having to set up my credit card payments and I’m having a setup QuickBooks and I’m having to do all the back and stuff that has to support my passions and what I’m here to do and those little items on their own are really hard to get through and if I didn’t keep reminding myself why and this is not even necessarily a conscious thing but what I’m really doing is I’m focusing on what is the end result that I’m looking to do what is the emotional pull of why I’m actually doing these things and when I can remind myself of that I remind myself of well when I’m up there onstage and I’m actually sharing my music with the world what is the emotional feeling that I’m getting and reminding myself of how good that feels or when I’m actually doing this podcast because I know that whether there’s 2000 or 200 or even to people and listen to this and in his able to get some little bit of insight some inspired action to shift and to maybe integrate something into their own world that gets me such a huge spiritual hide that that’s what keeps me going to do all of the other background stuff in order to make all of this happen and so you start to bring any of these other things into your life and you’re starting to bring a new goals or new behaviors or start a new project you got to keep reminding yourself what is it why are you actually doing this and what is the emotional feeling that you’re looking to get for it you don’t ever go on a diet ultimately to lose weight you don’t even necessarily do it just so you look better you do it because you feel better in your clothes you do it because you can feel more confident when you get into a bathing suit you do it because when you go exercise you have more stamina you do it because when you go to the park with your kids or you go hiking with your buddies you just have more stamina and when you can just remember the ultimate why of why it is that you’re doing that thing that you’re looking to step into then you’re being full by inspiration you’re being my spirit otherwise you’re pushing through willpower you know this the reason why most diets never end up working because they’re not focused on the why you keep thinking of the lack so when that starts to become the top of line of their mindset and makes it so much harder to the gym or the right or do anything after the row to do so again this is just a quick reminder to check in thank you so much
