In todays solo episode of The Becoming the Big Me Podcast I, Djemilah Birnie, talk about the good that I have found in the madness of our world. The world has entered a state of forced shut down. For many this can be an uncomfortable time as we are not used to sitting idle. I invite you to take this time and really dig deep into the depths of your heart.

When we sit idly by, there are things that come to surface that

we have shoved away in the deepest, darkest corners shoved

away into the junk drawers of our mind. That might be coming

to surface right now my

Hello, fellow Earthlings. Welcome to the becoming the big

me podcast.

I'm your host,

Djemilah Birnie. And together, we will be stepping

into our highest potential, exploring all things mind, body,

and soul. With justice, major business, you're a spiritual

badass solopreneur and a warrior for change, you're ready to

expand your impact and leave your old self behind in order to

raise your vibration so that you can positively influence your

business, your community, and ultimately, the world. Without

further ado, let's dive right into it. How are you? How are

you holding up during this current pandemic? I just wanted

to pop down here, say hi, hello, check in on you guys. And just

see, you know, there's a lot of stuff going on in our world

right now. And it can be easy to get caught up in the negative

downward spiral of the news cycle and the fear and the

uncertainty. And I just want to remind you that

you

are the creator, you are powerful. And what you focus on

grows with you're sit there and indulge in the negativity cycle,

it's just going to make the anxiety it's going to increase

the anxiety and the frustrations and the fear. Now, yes, it is

important to stay informed, it is important to know what's

going on. But there has to be a limit of it. I know with us all

at home, it can be easy to just indulge in all of the craziness,

all of the stories. And let allow your mind to just go down

that path.

So

I hope that you are doing wealth, staying happy and sane

during all of this. Now to flip things, I always try to look at

things from the positive perspective, I always try to see

what is the good that we can take out of this. And there's

actually quite a lot of good that I have seen, you know,

coming from this. The first thing is her humanitarianism. I

don't know if that's how you say that or if that's even a word is

that, you know, people are really showing up for each other

right now as a community. I see the community coming together.

You know, I see families coming together to help each other with

childcare during this time. I see college students

volunteering to go grocery stopping grocery shopping for

the elders of our community, I see businesses going above and

beyond to serve their clients, schools, providing meals to make

sure that people are fed. I just see a lot of good this it can

bring out you know, the bad in people, but it can bring out the

good and I see a lot of good coming from this we are coming

together as a society to help each other and in times of

crisis. That's something that is really important and that that

community is something that I hope carries through through the

end of this pandemic. The other opportunity that this crisis is

giving us is it is a forced shutdown a force so low down is

making us take a step back and truly reevaluate what's

important reevaluate our entire lives and do some deep digging

and some deep soul searching. Many of us are stuck at home by

ourselves. We are not you know, out in the world with our

activities, and that gives our brains a lot of idle time which

can be uncomfortable for some it can be scary. When we sit idly

by, there are things that come to serve fears that we have

shoved away in the deepest, darkest corners shoved away into

the junk drawers of our mind, that might be coming to surface

right now might be showing its head, given that our brains are

not overwhelmed with the constant state of activity in

our society. So often, we are so busy, we're just go go go all

the time, we don't allow ourselves to have that time to

rest and for us to heal, and us to self reflect. And this time

is really kind of forcing us to do those things. It's forcing us

to do that inner work. And let me ask you, how has it been?

How's it been for you? Has it been uncomfortable? Have you

noticed new things come into light? Are you getting a little

bit more clarity on what it is that you truly desire? For me,

this has made me think of a lot of I have been at home. thinking

a lot, I've been writing a lot, journaling a lot, creating a

lot, you know, so, so much. So many things. Over the past

couple of weeks, I've created some new programs, I've revamped

my entire website for becoming the big me revamp my entire

website for my digital marketing agency, Midnight Sun media.

And got an opportunity for a really cool interview for a

bigger publication. I'll share more with you guys about that

when that comes through. But I invite you to use this time to

really, you know, dig into your soul, dig into yourself, self

reflect journal, what is worth going back to, when all of this

is over? And we've had to cut so many things out. What is it

that's worth going back to this time has made me reevaluate my

purpose, you know, I first started my business seven years

ago, so that I could be there for my daughter, so I could, you

know, do the things that I wanted with her and have that

freedom with her. And over the years, that purpose has kind of

gotten lost, like, Yes, I am able to be with her. But I have

put so much of my energy and my time into my business and into

my clients that sometimes I have forgotten the true purpose, the

deeper meaning the deeper reasoning, and I'm very grateful

for this time, because it's made me remember that. And that's,

that's something that I plan to carry out through this time.

Once the world opens back up again, I plan to carry out that

purpose and that meaning and just remember why I do what I

do, it's really so that I can watch her grow up so I can be

there for her so I can attend her events. Um, you know, all of

the extra stuff with my business and my clients, I love serving

my clients, I love watching their lives transform. But at

the core of it all, it's, you know, it all started because of

her knots matru purpose. So while you have some quiet time,

while you're sitting away, in your quarantine, and your you

know, social distancing, I invite you to reflect on a

couple questions. You know, the first one, what is truly

important to me, what are my deepest desires? What are the

things that truly light me up? What is it that is important to

me? And to? What are the things that I can get rid of what is

you know, some of that fat that I can cut? What is some of the

activities or people or thought patterns or beliefs that I don't

want to return back to after this is over? What can I get rid

of? And, and three? How can I utilize this time to my

advantage? How can I utilize this time to heal, to self

discover to self reflect how can I use this time to do some deep

soul searching so that when this time is over, I am more clear, I

have a better picture of the direction that I'm going I know

more what I want for those of you who have had the desire on

your heart to start your own business, but have been too

caught up in the certainty of the nine to five. This

opportunity is for you. The universe has forced us in to

shut down okay. The universe is giving You have an opportunity

to pursue that dream all certainty is gone, nothing is

certain anymore so that we don't have that certainty to hold on

to anymore. So why not take this time to just dive even deeper

into the uncertainty and create what it is that has been on your

heart to create?
