6. The Why Behind Exhaustion

You may have noticed feeling excessively exhausted lately. When you look at your life, though, it may not make a lot of sense why you feel more tired - no commute, working from home, etc. So, what’s really going on? Whenever we find ourselves feeling heaviness for no good reason, it is essential that we take a closer look at our thoughts because we are likely unknowingly tapping into the stress and worry of the global collective. We’re all worried about our health, about job security, about travel (or the inability to travel), and countless other things. It’s easy to tap into collective negativity, but by doing so we often block ourselves from receiving the very help we need. The beautiful thing, though, is that we also have the power to tap into collective positivity. We also have the power to connect with nature and sacred transmissions (both of which are also causing our current fatigue). In this episode, we cover: 1:40 The first reason we’re feeling exhausted: individual and collective stress 6:54 What to do when you feel heavy 8:51 How to clear fear and unplug from the collective 9:30 An exercise to raise your vibration 13:23 The second reason why you’re exhausted: mother nature! 15:36 How to allow the stress to move through us, like a dog 16:04 Grounding into mother nature’s healing frequencies 19:39 The third reason why you’re so tired: sacred transmissions 22:08 Why Anna fell asleep on the phone with Brett 24:36 July is about rest and renewal 24:54 Don’t be hard on yourself when you’re tired When it’s hard for you to understand why you’re feeling a certain way, it’s usually a sign to dig a little deeper to understand what’s really going on. What may feel like a frustrating state (i.e, exhausted) is actually a sign of greater forces at work. Keep an eye out for more future episodes on this topic.

5. AOC + the Higher Self

It may seem that the world is getting more and more divided. Though Higher Self is quick to point out that we are actually being given more and more opportunities to see where we are similar. It’s a rare thing these days to see a public figure take a stand with grace and poise. But this past week, we witnessed New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez do just that in response to a verbal attack by Florida Rep. Ted Yoho where he called her “disgusting” and a “fucking bitch” on the steps of our nation’s Capitol. What AOC did is nothing short of energetic alchemy. She took the rough materials that were thrown at her and weaved them into gold threads of wisdom that enabled transformation and growth. When you can create unity from division, you are fully embodying Higher Self. In this episode, we’ll cover: 2:15 The surprising reason AOC couldn’t let Rep. Yoho’s behavior go 2:48 The danger of acknowledging behavior without acknowledging the implications 3:11 The real beauty of AOC’s response 4:48 The hypocrisy and permission of Rep. Yoho’s actions 6:20 The Higher Self’s role in AOC’s response 7:30 The human’s role in Rep. Yoho’s actions 10:30 How AOC’s response beautifully models accountability 12:15 How you can make an impact even if you don’t have a huge platform like AOC 13:20 The Higher Self’s tool to help you find perspective 14:50 The power in the wake of the storm 16:00 What Higher Self is always connected to 16:30 The power your suffering holds and why you should be grateful for it The exchange between Rep. Yoho and AOC is a great illustration of human vs. Higher Self. With so many lashing out from the human side these days, we would all do well to see how the Higher Self can help us live with even a fraction of the grace and poise shown by AOC.
