S5. EP. 78 Choose You Every Time [SOLO]
from It Takes A Village with Delina Medhin · host Delina Medhin
In this episode of It Takes a Village, I reflect on how friendships shape our mindset and ultimately our lives. I share a lesson that stayed with me from a young age: that your outcomes are often a reflection of the people you spend the most time with and how I’ve seen that in my life in college with my grades and now with my energy.I open up about a recent experience where I found myself around someone with very fear-based thinking. I call that person “Chicken Little”. You remember that story book that spoke about the sky falling. It's an energy type. It's an archetype. Despite years of practicing intentional self-talk, I noticed how spending time with a chicken little also began to influence my own thoughts. That experience led me to make a difficult but necessary decision to step away from a relationship that wasn’t aligned with the energy I want to live in.This conversation is really about choosing yourself. Choosing friendships, partners, and environments that pour into you, uplift you, and support the version of you you’re becoming. I also connect this to the idea of “soul corrections”. I've been learning Kabbalah and it's teachings have found a way organically in the my life and I find it gives me so much comfort that I wanted to share. This week's exercise: Take five minutes to sit in silence and speak to yourself with love, intention, and affirmation. Tell yourself kind things. "I love you. I am proud of you." Even if you hear the negative self talk ignore it and keep going. I love you...see you next week.Timestamps:00:00 Welcome Back Villagers00:34 College Lesson on Friends03:24 Beyond Grades to Life03:59 Chicken Little Energy08:21 Choosing Your Vibration10:02 Soul Corrections and Flow12:06 Five Minutes of Self Love13:38 Love Shifts Everything14:34 Share and See You NextBook I mention: What to Say When You Talk to Yourself by Shad Helmstetter.
