Speaker:

Well, hi there, it's Jennifer Huff, and we're here on Thriving Life Podcast.

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

And I'm wearing the doggie love.

Speaker:

Probably because I'm going to talk a little bit about love today in terms of

Speaker:

how do we actually flourish through these times without actually having burnout.

Speaker:

What causes burnout?

Speaker:

Why do we do it when sometimes we know exactly what there is to do, but it

Speaker:

feels like you can't even help yourself?

Speaker:

And what do you do if you're already burnt out?

Speaker:

And the way I'm going to approach today is going to be a little bit, you know, me,

Speaker:

we're going to take it down the road of.

Speaker:

Some stories, in fact, that, uh, are coming directly from a retreat

Speaker:

that we're having right now.

Speaker:

And there were some themes today that I think speak directly to

Speaker:

the idea of thriving regardless of what's going on around you.

Speaker:

Welcome to the Thriving Life Podcast.

Speaker:

I'm Jennifer Huff.

Speaker:

I'm on a mission to empower you with the knowledge, experiences, and tools

Speaker:

to turn your dreams into reality.

Speaker:

If you're ready for permanent shifts in your ability to stay unstuck, make

Speaker:

glass ceilings your new floors and want practical tools rooted in applied physics

Speaker:

and neuroplasticity to live a life of fulfillment, this podcast is for you.

Speaker:

Let's get thriving forward.

Speaker:

How do you define burnout?

Speaker:

What are the causes of burnout?

Speaker:

What are some ways of being chefs?

Speaker:

So when I say strategies, it's not like daily.

Speaker:

I'm not really interested in teaching you the daily things you can do, because

Speaker:

in these times of great change, teaching you skills that you may or not remember.

Speaker:

I'm looking for efficiencies and our clients and our, the people that listen

Speaker:

to our podcast are people that are looking for efficiencies that are like

Speaker:

permanent cellular shifts, whole paradigm shifts, rather than having to remember

Speaker:

moment by moment, little skills, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Speaker:

I call that the difference between surviving really

Speaker:

well and actually thriving.

Speaker:

In Thriving, we actually shift to new paradigms where you don't even

Speaker:

have to think about or try to manage or spend a lot of effort on, um,

Speaker:

micromanaging all the little things that you need to remember to make

Speaker:

sure you feel better in the moment.

Speaker:

A friend of mine come non paradigm shifts that cause non regressive changes

Speaker:

in the way that you approach life.

Speaker:

Let's have a little chat about that, shall we?

Speaker:

What are non regressive shifts?

Speaker:

So what's burnout?

Speaker:

The best way I can describe burnout is based on my history running a

Speaker:

very large integrative health clinic.

Speaker:

Burnout is what happens just straight up physically, biologically.

Speaker:

So this isn't spiritually or emotionally, but this is biologically.

Speaker:

But you'll get it.

Speaker:

It happens when you transcend or over run your glands and organs

Speaker:

with more than they can cope with.

Speaker:

So if your nervous system has more than it can cope with it,

Speaker:

and that happens over time.

Speaker:

So you're maybe in an abusive situation for some people, but for

Speaker:

some people, having things be off kilter, just with respect to the kids.

Speaker:

Being freedom seekers can be enough.

Speaker:

It doesn't even take an abusive relationship.

Speaker:

It also depends on the degree to which you care about how much things

Speaker:

look like your pretty picture.

Speaker:

So if you're someone that likes to have a lot of control, or at least the perception

Speaker:

of a lot of control and things around you don't match your pretty picture.

Speaker:

The degree to which you have to use your energy, your adrenals, your

Speaker:

thyroid, your nervous system to try to control your situation is another

Speaker:

way you can overwhelm yourself.

Speaker:

If you have a lot of shoulds, musts, and have tos, and the people around

Speaker:

you or a team around you don't comply, then your glands and organs Your

Speaker:

nervous system and your emotionality can't handle everything looking

Speaker:

different than what you wish it did.

Speaker:

You'll very easily burn out.

Speaker:

When you carry the happiness of others and people around you aren't happy,

Speaker:

and they haven't empowered themselves yet, and then you start taking on

Speaker:

making sure they're not unhappy.

Speaker:

Forgetting, of course, that's more about you and not about them, because

Speaker:

you don't want to be a witness to their unhappiness, and it's affecting you.

Speaker:

Most of the time when we're trying to make someone else happy, it's because

Speaker:

of how comfortable we are, uncomfortable we are with them being unhappy.

Speaker:

These are the kinds of ways of being that cause burnout.

Speaker:

Sometimes it's an entire paradigm, which I had my father and my father's father.

Speaker:

And my father's father were engineers who wanted to keep the bridge standing.

Speaker:

So everything had to be perfect.

Speaker:

My grandfather was someone who built.

Speaker:

Some of the first hydroelectric dams in the world.

Speaker:

And if you got one thing wrong, that bridge was coming down.

Speaker:

That dam was going to break.

Speaker:

We can take on the responsibility or the weight of the world.

Speaker:

But the thing is that got passed on from generation to generation.

Speaker:

My father, who actually was not an engineer, but the rest of them were, he

Speaker:

took on the same thing that his father had, which was this perfectionism.

Speaker:

Got to get it right.

Speaker:

Got to get it perfect.

Speaker:

Got to get the goal done.

Speaker:

Got to win the game.

Speaker:

And in our household that got passed on.

Speaker:

And so everything for me had to be done perfectly according to whom,

Speaker:

not according to me or my heart.

Speaker:

And when we run our lives according to other's parameters,

Speaker:

it definitely will cause a burnout.

Speaker:

Meaning your organs only have this much they can take.

Speaker:

And all of these perceptions that we have of life that aren't even ours

Speaker:

give us shoulds, musts, and have tos.

Speaker:

That if we don't meet them somehow inside, it feels like we're going to die or

Speaker:

something really bad is going to happen.

Speaker:

And so our glands and organs start chunk chipping away at how

Speaker:

much they're being used by these shoulds, musts, and have tos.

Speaker:

And before long, we get right to the edge of how much our glands and organs can take

Speaker:

based on these shoulds, musts, and have tos, either self imposed or imposed, taken

Speaker:

on from others, whatever the case may be.

Speaker:

And when we get right to the edge of how much our glands and organs

Speaker:

can take, we feel overwhelmed.

Speaker:

And if it lasts for long enough, that overwhelm, we will use up not only our

Speaker:

glands and organs, the physical, but we'll use up our neurological space.

Speaker:

We'll use up our emotional space.

Speaker:

We'll have nothing left for ourselves.

Speaker:

And it all originates, believe it or not, from a place of not making what

Speaker:

your heart says and what your body says and literally your connection

Speaker:

to your greater wisdom matter.

Speaker:

As soon as you make something outside of you matter more than your own innate

Speaker:

wisdom, your own connection to your own knowing, as soon as you make that matter

Speaker:

more, you're headed towards burnout.

Speaker:

It doesn't mean you will.

Speaker:

You might catch yourself before it's too late because it's, you just got, you

Speaker:

have an intolerance to it being that bad.

Speaker:

So I'd love to hear from everyone who's listening right now.

Speaker:

If you're listening right now, I'd love to hear how you've felt around this,

Speaker:

how, what your experience with this is, and maybe your word for the day.

Speaker:

I'm podcast because.

Speaker:

In a world where there's a lot of change and where a lot of people

Speaker:

are saying a lot of things and where governmental infrastructure and the

Speaker:

entire way one country speaks to another country, the projection of values

Speaker:

onto you or onto others is happening.

Speaker:

It would be very easy to burn out, especially if you're a

Speaker:

person that sees yourself.

Speaker:

As a good person, there's so much to talk about around the

Speaker:

nervous system of humanity.

Speaker:

And again, I'm looking for your word for the day.

Speaker:

There's so much to say about the nervous system of humanity right now.

Speaker:

If you even have a modicum of trying to control the world, or even a modicum

Speaker:

of carrying the weight of the world's harmony and happiness on your shoulders.

Speaker:

If you even have a little bit of that, then in times of great change.

Speaker:

You may definitely find what we're talking about right now.

Speaker:

Incredibly helpful.

Speaker:

And I thank you for all the people that leave comments and share this

Speaker:

podcast with others, because we're going to go down the wormhole of three

Speaker:

different stories with some, what I have found to be incredibly helpful.

Speaker:

Useful, uh, information.

Speaker:

One of the most important abilities that a human being can have.

Speaker:

This was taught to me by a former spy for the CIA.

Speaker:

And.

Speaker:

Of course, he was using it for one reason, but the way that we're going to talk about

Speaker:

it isn't about using it to spy on people.

Speaker:

It's to build bridges to the kind of world or team or organization

Speaker:

that you want to live in or family.

Speaker:

So that's the first thing.

Speaker:

Second thing is we're going to talk about based on our conversation

Speaker:

about perception and perspective.

Speaker:

We're going to talk about then how to get the best.

Speaker:

Out of somebody else, how to find a way to have the experience of the people

Speaker:

around you being in their best light when they're around you and having

Speaker:

that possibly being an empowering spirit experience for both of you.

Speaker:

In other words, you can change the energy of a room and.

Speaker:

Finally, and I think I might start with this, that there are forces happening

Speaker:

right now that have forgotten the physics of the fact that the entire

Speaker:

universe is holographically at the center of every atom in their body.

Speaker:

And when you forget, it's not a great thing.

Speaker:

So I'm going to tell you a story for some of you.

Speaker:

This will be woo for some of you.

Speaker:

It won't be woo.

Speaker:

But at this point in our evolution as humanity, I don't care anymore.

Speaker:

So remember I grew up as an economist, right?

Speaker:

So I'm very practical person.

Speaker:

Then I ended up being a nutritionist because I ended up with migraines

Speaker:

and I exposed myself to some toxins and I had chronic yeast infections.

Speaker:

And I realized that wasn't because of, I had a monostat deficiency.

Speaker:

So I went to all the doctors, but there were lots of pills and I had nothing

Speaker:

against doctors and I still don't.

Speaker:

I have trained them about epigenetics and psychoneuroimmunology and all

Speaker:

sorts of stuff around neuroplasticity and then how epigenetically what

Speaker:

people think affects their body.

Speaker:

So I love building bridges.

Speaker:

And so, when I had meningitis, doctors saved my life.

Speaker:

I remember as a nutritionist, after, when I had to save my life, I became a

Speaker:

nutritionist and studied biology to try to figure out what was going on with me.

Speaker:

But I remember bridging my own self and realizing that some of the doctors I had

Speaker:

seen, they wanted to help me, but they felt powerless because the information

Speaker:

they were given wasn't helpful.

Speaker:

To be able to help the chronic conditions that I had.

Speaker:

They didn't know how to detoxify people, nor did they know how

Speaker:

my mind was affecting my body.

Speaker:

And which is probably why I ended up working with a lot of doctors

Speaker:

because I didn't separate myself, which speaks to something we're going

Speaker:

to get to later, I promise around perception and around perspective.

Speaker:

But first things first, I remember I had transcended the migraines.

Speaker:

And all of this was having me, all of this stuff around my health was

Speaker:

definitely feeling like burnout to me.

Speaker:

It was like my body was broken.

Speaker:

It was not supporting me anymore.

Speaker:

I was in my late 20s, early 30s at the time.

Speaker:

And, In the process, I was feeling so much better, but I didn't realize

Speaker:

that I had picked up on a perception.

Speaker:

And the perception I picked up on was that some outside force

Speaker:

could exert itself on my body.

Speaker:

And make me hurt and I could be a victim of it.

Speaker:

And in fact, even when I was growing up in my household, I was already in

Speaker:

that vibe that something outside of me could try to control me and that I

Speaker:

wasn't to listen to my own innate wisdom.

Speaker:

I was to listen.

Speaker:

And if I didn't want to get in trouble, if I didn't want to be yelled at, I had

Speaker:

to morph myself to the perfectionism.

Speaker:

And as I was taking my power back by getting sick and then finding new

Speaker:

ways that weren't medical and then finding doctors that were willing to

Speaker:

listen to some of the evolutions I was internally making, I was like,

Speaker:

Hey, I can take my power back.

Speaker:

And then what happened was that I was probably 90 percent better.

Speaker:

In other words, I wasn't having migraines anymore.

Speaker:

I wasn't having the welts come out my neck.

Speaker:

I wasn't having chronic fatigue and I had just left my former husband and I

Speaker:

had purchased my own house and I had renovated it and I made a bedroom that had

Speaker:

a fireplace and it was so cool and I had a skylight over my bathtub in the bathroom

Speaker:

and I was making my life how I wanted it.

Speaker:

But there was always this little voice in the back.

Speaker:

Those little voices are voices of your amygdala, of the part of your brain

Speaker:

that still wants to protect you and hedge your bets, still wants to have

Speaker:

you just be a little bit concerned.

Speaker:

Just watch out.

Speaker:

It can't all be roses.

Speaker:

And I remember that night I went to bed with my big fluffy

Speaker:

golden doodle beside me, Emerson.

Speaker:

And I was just so happy.

Speaker:

And still that little voice.

Speaker:

And what I saw was a big, dark, like a cloud above me.

Speaker:

And here I was, I made this, what I thought was a sanctuary, but included

Speaker:

in making my sanctuary was I'm protected from the scary stuff that can hurt me.

Speaker:

Now, if part of the reason for making a sanctuary.

Speaker:

Is to protect you from the scary stuff that might hurt you.

Speaker:

Then the scary stuff that might hurt you energetically is still the vibe of that

Speaker:

is still included in what you're creating.

Speaker:

If what you're creating is in response to something scary, the scary is still in it.

Speaker:

And so.

Speaker:

My greater wisdom.

Speaker:

I was looking at the idea that I had still included the scariness of the world.

Speaker:

You can see how this pertains to what's going on in the world right now, right?

Speaker:

This scariness of the world was still included.

Speaker:

Then what happens is.

Speaker:

This big blob happens in the middle of the night when I'm in my most innocent state.

Speaker:

Oh my God, I can be even asleep and I'm not safe.

Speaker:

Can you imagine what that would do to my sleep cycles if I didn't hear

Speaker:

something that I needed to hear?

Speaker:

And all of a sudden I got back to what it is that I know for sure that the

Speaker:

people that are working on Nobel prizes in physics that have won Nobel prizes in

Speaker:

physics since that happened to me, that have been looking for deeper truths.

Speaker:

People that work on epigenetics as well.

Speaker:

They say that even electrons are non local electrons.

Speaker:

Remember we have 75 trillion cells, a hundred billion, or is it a

Speaker:

hundred million doesn't matter.

Speaker:

You guys put it in comments, atoms per cell we're made up.

Speaker:

And those atoms are made of electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Speaker:

Electrons are non local until someone decides.

Speaker:

on the truth about what's going on around them.

Speaker:

Electrons don't go around the nucleus like a planet orbiting the sun, although

Speaker:

that's still taught in high schools, which is insane because you ask any physicist,

Speaker:

they will tell you that's not true.

Speaker:

Electrons flash on, flash off.

Speaker:

They're showing up in different localities.

Speaker:

And that's what our world is made of.

Speaker:

And until you decide where that electron is going to land, what

Speaker:

your reality is going to be.

Speaker:

Either consciously and most people are deciding.

Speaker:

Subconsciously, I had decided that there could be some scary stuff.

Speaker:

So that was still in my field.

Speaker:

So my life landed the actual three dimensional reality landed like

Speaker:

mostly my life is so amazing, except there's still scary things when

Speaker:

you're not looking, so you better.

Speaker:

Pay attention, right?

Speaker:

That's what the slot experiment is.

Speaker:

You guys, that slot experiment that the physicists did where they fired

Speaker:

electrons through two slots in the wall, and they were looking for the pattern

Speaker:

on the wall there where they would land on the other side of the slot.

Speaker:

And when people were in the room.

Speaker:

And the experiment wasn't being done in a vacuum, the expectation is that it's

Speaker:

going to land in the electrons are going to go through the two slots, just like

Speaker:

red painted balls going through two slots.

Speaker:

And the way they're going to land on the wall over there is into blotchy red lines.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

Because it's going through two straight slots.

Speaker:

But the problem is, when there's a vacuum, and the thoughts of the

Speaker:

scientist can't affect the experiment, the wave forms are what, basically

Speaker:

what happens is the electrons disrupt.

Speaker:

The metaphysical particles on the other side, not landing in two slots, but

Speaker:

actually imagine that the whole field of possible potentials of electrons

Speaker:

is on the other side, like a pool.

Speaker:

And when you fire electrons through the slots, you're disrupting the field

Speaker:

of possibility on the other side.

Speaker:

Rather than, because there's nobody intending where the electrons can go.

Speaker:

Our expectation has the two straight lines land when we're

Speaker:

in the room, not in a vacuum.

Speaker:

And when nobody's there to influence the electrons, they literally

Speaker:

landed as though there were waves in the room, disrupting a field.

Speaker:

There are no more two straight lines.

Speaker:

So your expectations and your perceptions and your beliefs land reality.

Speaker:

So here I am with this big blob and the first thing I do with

Speaker:

the big blob is I was right.

Speaker:

But the next thing that I decided to do is wait a second.

Speaker:

I know there are scientists right now studying that the entire universe

Speaker:

is at the center of my protons, that the hologram of the universe

Speaker:

is at the center of my protons.

Speaker:

Literally, I'm living in Infinite Wisdom and Infinite Wisdom is within me.

Speaker:

Do I believe that or do I not believe it?

Speaker:

Well, I could say this is evidence that I was right.

Speaker:

But there are scary things that can just get you.

Speaker:

I actually created the blob through my fear.

Speaker:

And if I created it, I can uncreate it.

Speaker:

So instantaneously, I just said, I'm not interested in you.

Speaker:

This is a house of light.

Speaker:

I am so not interested.

Speaker:

Just be gone.

Speaker:

I'm not interested.

Speaker:

I created you so I can uncreate you.

Speaker:

Goodbye.

Speaker:

And it left.

Speaker:

So I want you to know in a world full of easy burnout, burnout.

Speaker:

burnout.

Speaker:

Remember, you get to say how you don't get to say how other people's lives land,

Speaker:

you do get to say how your life goes, literally, the universe is within you,

Speaker:

and you do get to say how you behave in this world, either building bridges or

Speaker:

amplifying the things to be afraid of.

Speaker:

What I will share at this point is going to talk about perception

Speaker:

and so perceiving and perspective.

Speaker:

So everyone has a perception.

Speaker:

Everyone perceives through a filter.

Speaker:

And most of those filters are unconscious.

Speaker:

I didn't know that I still had this little thing that was hedging my

Speaker:

bets about the thing that could come out of left field and just hurt me.

Speaker:

But it certainly created my reality that night.

Speaker:

And then I realized, and then what dropped in is a new total paradigm.

Speaker:

Oh yeah.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

If I created this, I can uncreate it.

Speaker:

So all of a sudden my organ cushion.

Speaker:

Has a lot more room because now I'm not carrying the fear anymore.

Speaker:

I'm not trying to control things.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

So I'm listening to this spy talk about in the CIA, what one of the

Speaker:

greatest skills a human being can have is in order to be able to have

Speaker:

empowerment, feel like they can make a difference in their lives

Speaker:

and feel like they can make a difference in their neighborhood

Speaker:

or in their reality or in their surroundings or with other people.

Speaker:

And he said, the thing you need to know is the difference between

Speaker:

perceiving and perspective.

Speaker:

He said, listen, everyone walks around with perceptions and perceiving.

Speaker:

And when our work, we say the same things like a bunch of filters.

Speaker:

Most of them are unconscious, but the person that really has power

Speaker:

is not interested in making their perception of the world, right?

Speaker:

Or in exerting their perception on someone else.

Speaker:

That's not power.

Speaker:

That is definitely force.

Speaker:

However, if you want to change the world or change your world or have

Speaker:

a conversation that creates third entity solutions that neither of

Speaker:

you came up with, but that actually include both of you, if you want to

Speaker:

have the miraculous be normal, then.

Speaker:

Your perspective matters and their perspective matters.

Speaker:

So now you're looking at each other's perspective.

Speaker:

So you become someone who's interested in their perspective.

Speaker:

Another way of saying this is St. Francis was very wise and shared

Speaker:

that we should all, we can all, we would benefit greatly from seeking to

Speaker:

understand instead of being understood.

Speaker:

Seek first to understand another, in other words, understand another's

Speaker:

perspective on it, ask a lot of questions.

Speaker:

And when people assist others to come out of cults, say, there's a lot of seeking to

Speaker:

understand another perspective such that they can trust that they will be heard.

Speaker:

And when that happens, a conversation can happen about other things.

Speaker:

Neutrality that ensues when you actually seek.

Speaker:

To understand another first, and what happens is over time when someone

Speaker:

is feels deeply heard and their perspective is understood, they will

Speaker:

change how they perceive the world or not, but there is no chance of

Speaker:

changing their perception of the world.

Speaker:

If you haven't understood their perspective 1st, it is 1 of the

Speaker:

most powerful things you can do.

Speaker:

So the last thing is about my walk on the beach, which has to do with that.

Speaker:

I was walking on the beach today, and I found these.

Speaker:

I found this, and I found this, and I found this little guy,

Speaker:

and I found You get my gist.

Speaker:

Hmm, I even found this.

Speaker:

And then, I found this.

Speaker:

All within probably ten steps.

Speaker:

And I hadn't found a heart rock in ages and all these different heart rocks,

Speaker:

heart coral, heart shells, whatever they are, they're all different.

Speaker:

Some of them look more like hearts.

Speaker:

If you look at them at an angle, some of them are rough around the edges.

Speaker:

Some of them, I didn't pick up because they look like hearts when

Speaker:

the sand was covering a part of them on this retreat that we're on.

Speaker:

But then when you pick them up, there's a little corner there that.

Speaker:

It didn't make it a heart anymore, but imagine that these are all other human

Speaker:

beings and that each of these hearts comes from a different perspective.

Speaker:

That's not really, that's not, she was looking for a perfect heart and I'm

Speaker:

like, if, if we look for perfect hearts.

Speaker:

We're going to be upset a lot of the time and looking for a perfect heart is about

Speaker:

looking for safety everywhere you go.

Speaker:

Are you safe?

Speaker:

Are you safe?

Speaker:

Are you safe?

Speaker:

And your life becomes about being vigilant for a lack of safety.

Speaker:

And if you're going to live that way, you're going to spend a lot of.

Speaker:

I'm upset in this world right now because you are not going to find

Speaker:

perspective, but you are going to find different hearts everywhere.

Speaker:

And I have a friend named Frank who much like my friend and

Speaker:

Dolph who's listening right now.

Speaker:

She saw the strife with politics in the United States.

Speaker:

And just think about what blue and red.

Speaker:

Come together.

Speaker:

What color did they make?

Speaker:

And she realized that it was purple.

Speaker:

There's more to that story.

Speaker:

I'm sure there's going to be more in the future.

Speaker:

But what I would say is that I was speaking to my friend about my friend,

Speaker:

Frank, about Anne and Frank said, there's a bunch of mountain people.

Speaker:

They're pretty resilient and they have a certain way of being, and

Speaker:

they've been doing their thing for a long time in North Carolina, and I

Speaker:

really feel like for us all to come together, everyone needs to be heard.

Speaker:

We need to hear how they perceive life, and then we need to build bridges,

Speaker:

especially after Asheville had the huge hurricane pass through, and everyone was

Speaker:

helping everyone, didn't matter which end of things that you came from, but

Speaker:

you could see that everyone had art.

Speaker:

Everyone was in a different place.

Speaker:

Every, but everyone's love showed up a different way.

Speaker:

Mine showed up a different way.

Speaker:

My was way out in California at the time.

Speaker:

Oddly, they just had their own issues.

Speaker:

Odd that while things were happening in Asheville, I was at her place.

Speaker:

And then I came back here and she had something happen, but my way

Speaker:

of helping her wasn't to go there and help her rebuild her house.

Speaker:

It's just letting her know I'm here and I love her and I can talk

Speaker:

and she can just rant and rave.

Speaker:

And I'll just listen with neutral ears.

Speaker:

That's my heart.

Speaker:

Here, there were people that fed people with all the stuff in their freezers

Speaker:

because there was no electricity.

Speaker:

And there were people going to church and there are people.

Speaker:

Like donating all the stuff they were going to give away to Goodwill and just

Speaker:

make it people donating their trailers so that people had a house, had a home,

Speaker:

so that there's all these trailers right now that aren't going on vacation

Speaker:

this year because people are living it.

Speaker:

So everyone's hearts had different things and everyone jumped in a different way.

Speaker:

My next door neighbor that is very protective of themselves, they

Speaker:

literally got their water working.

Speaker:

And They said anyone can come over.

Speaker:

They don't let people come on their property.

Speaker:

They let everyone come over and get buckets of water.

Speaker:

So I want you to know the perception within you can cause you to burn out.

Speaker:

If you carry your health, your life, the happiness of other people, it's

Speaker:

the biggest way people burn out.

Speaker:

Your lack of understanding of others causes you to need to protect yourself.

Speaker:

That's carrying yourself.

Speaker:

And if you're going to carry yourself, you're going to burn

Speaker:

out, protect your family, yourself.

Speaker:

It's like those people that were protecting their property.

Speaker:

And then, of course, from the idea of finding perceptions, I want to say that

Speaker:

in this retreat, one of the things that we talked about yesterday is something

Speaker:

I want to finish this podcast with.

Speaker:

And that is.

Speaker:

That infinite wisdom didn't give you feelings just so you could

Speaker:

react to what's going on around you.

Speaker:

You only react based on your perception.

Speaker:

If your perception causes you to freak out, or to feel afraid, or to

Speaker:

be upset, or to stamp your feet, then the perception you're living into, by

Speaker:

definition, is not in alignment with how greater consciousness, infinite

Speaker:

wisdom, The divine physics, flow, God, I don't care what you call it, sees life.

Speaker:

It's only when you tell yourself a deeper truth and look at it from

Speaker:

a greater point of view that you start to drop into what is true.

Speaker:

And what is true will always feel expansive and good, like having a

Speaker:

big scary energy, which I've never experienced in my life, in your room.

Speaker:

And then realizing that at your core, the truth is, I have the entire universe at

Speaker:

the center of my protons in order for the equation for the entire universe to work.

Speaker:

Therefore, I'm not really interested in you.

Speaker:

We all, in these times of great change, can't afford to be so precious.

Speaker:

It really is time to be much more responsible for how we perceive each

Speaker:

other and how we perceive this world and much more conscious about whether we're

Speaker:

going to argue for our righteousness about our perception, which can change

Speaker:

in an instant, or whether we're going to try to seek to understand others.

Speaker:

So that we don't get burnt out.

Speaker:

Not only do we not get burnt out, but if we should decide to be a bridge

Speaker:

builder rather than someone that tries to control things to try to get the

Speaker:

world the way that we think it should be.

Speaker:

And so, if you should choose to live away, where you seek to

Speaker:

understand, what happens is you're going to be available to solutions.

Speaker:

Safety doesn't come from control.

Speaker:

Safety comes from your connection with your greater wisdom, which can

Speaker:

only come when you consistently seek deeper truths and own the deeper truths

Speaker:

that you know from full presence.

Speaker:

And that is a level of mastery that we're being called to right

Speaker:

now in this world of great change.

Speaker:

It's a level of mastery.

Speaker:

And for those of you that are listening right now, that are my clients that I've

Speaker:

had the pleasure of working with, I'm just so grateful to take you on that journey.

Speaker:
