Want to surprise yourself, you're going to surprise

yourself with the things that you think of the ideas that you

have. And I guarantee that your million dollar idea that you've

been waiting for that you've been searching for probably

searching for online trying to find through inspiration to

other people online, through social media feeds through the

content people are writing, you're trying to get inspired by

them. You're trying to spark new thoughts and new ideas. That's

all great to a certain extent. But

for you to get your million dollar idea

for you to create the life you want for you to truly step into

your purpose for you to truly become the person that you're

supposed to be putting needs to come from you.

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.

What is a party paid? Hey, hey, hey,

I am in such

a good mood today. It

has been an absolutely fantastic last couple of days, there's

just so much awesome shit going on right now. And I can't wait

to share with you everything that's going on. Not yet,

though, unfortunately, because I want to finalize everything, get

everything all packaged up rolled out. So I can actually

share the details accurately with you. But the past couple of

days have just been a whirlwind of just inspiration, creativity,

and just positivity coming into my life. And I am just so

excited for what is to come. And what I am creating the

inspiration and the ideas that have been coming to me the

downloads. And I don't know, you know, there has been just some

major, major energetic shifts since that last New Moon, which

was the super new black moon, also the end of the retrograde

and it's just like,

I've just been just hit

with so much awesomeness. And I want to just kind of talk about

something that I believe plays into that. And that is the magic

of creating space. I am talking about physical space, I'm

talking about mental space. I'm talking about just space like

base to be space to grow space to think space to do. And so one

of the things that I have become obsessed with is cleaning things

out purging and creating literal, physical space. When my

daughter and I came back from Washington a couple of weeks

ago, what two weeks ago now, when we came back, we spent

several days just purging Marie Kondo in our life, just getting

rid of things that were no longer using. Don't bring joy to

our lives anymore. just creating space cleaning things out going

through those dark corners of junk clothes, junk drawers,

those bathroom shelves, those bathroom drawers that are just

end up getting piled with all of this old stuff that you don't

use went through all of our medicine cabinets just like

cleared it out. And

now it's like I can breathe in my home again,

the things that are here I need the things that are here. I

enjoy And it just makes me feel so much more high vibe. And not

as part of what I'm talking about in the magic of creating

space is in that that physical space going through getting rid

of the dirt, getting rid of the old getting rid of the things

that don't bring you joy in your home anymore. And this, you

know, is a practice that is very, very, very important and

talked about in Fung Shui. Now I don't really know much about

Fung Shui, I would love to have a Fung Shui specialist on here

at some point, because it is something that I'm extremely

interested in learning more about, and something that I have

been diving into a little bit on my own. And one of the big

practices in Fung Shui is having that clear space for energy to

flow freely when you allow things to just collect. It's

this like stuck energy, that it just gets stagnant, and it's not

creative. It's not bringing in the right, you know, feelings

and flow into your life. And a practice that I have implemented

as of late is in the mornings, I spend five minutes five to 10

minutes, that is all and I will clear out one other little

corner of my house, whether it's just, you know, one drawer, one

shelf, one box, one little area, and I will just clear it out. So

it's not overwhelming. So it's not like I'm trying to do

everything at the same time.

But I'm cleaning it out, I'm

getting rid of it. And, you know, I believe that our

physical reality is a complete reflection of our internal

reality. So how we keep our home, how we keep our spaces, is

a reflection of, of our inside of our minds. And not only is it

important to create this physical space, and clear out

old things pick up the dirt, but it's also very important

to

clear out that mental space to clear out those old thoughts

that are no longer serving you those thoughts that don't bring

you joy, those programs that maybe served you at one point in

your life, but the season, the chapter, the book that you are

currently on in your life is no longer serving you. And so

that's a practice that I have now put into my morning, I

create space, both mentally and physically, I do five to 10

minutes of clearing just a small section, creating space in my

physical reality. And then I do my meditations and my intention

setting and my journaling is to, to dive into my belief systems

and those programs that are running in my head, those deep

closets that those junk drawers of your brain where you just

kind of throw all your junk and then you just shut it and you

think that you forget about it, but you know that it's there,

right? So

it's,

it's so powerful, it's so powerful to just create that

space, you know, the saying, when one door closes, another

one opens? Well, it's very cliche, it's, you know, maybe

overused, but

it's, it's

true, it's there for a reason. It is the reason why people say

that is because when you allow yourself the space when you shut

off one area when you take a step back from something that's

no longer serving you you're giving yourself and the universe

permission to bring in new things to bring in new energy

until your life you're getting rid of that old pent up

space.

Now, the other thing with creating space as a creative as

a visionary, as a business owner as a solopreneur a solopreneur.

Anyone who is trying to be creative and download new ideas

how you know whether you're writing a book, starting a

podcast, creating a course coaching, just trying to be more

present online, create content, whatever it is, you need to

create space for yourself to be creative. And in this day and

age, it can be really hard because there's so many

distractions going on that we never give ourselves any mental

space. There's the social media and all of the notifications

happening on our phone on a constant basis. And just so much

noise that technology has brought to us. And technology is

amazing. I love technology, it gives me the power to

communicate with you right now, it gives me the power to have

friends all over the entire world like this podcast, they

have listeners, all across the United States, I have listeners

in Canada, Australia, like, it's just, it's Singapore, like, it's

crazy. I love technology, it's so powerful, but we have allowed

it to overrun our brains a lot of the time, and especially as

business owners, because building our business, like you

have to be present online to build your business. So you end

up spending so much of your time, with all of these

different distractions happening in your life, and we never give

ourselves the space to actually think and the space to be

ourselves, the space to actually be bored.

One of my

favorite, favorite favorite things, is to be bored. I

absolutely love it.

Why because all

your best ideas are going to come when you're bored, when you

don't have things going on all of these distractions. So when

you're creating space, there's, I mean, there's so many levels.

So so so so many levels to creating space, we already

talked about, you know, creating that physical space by

physically cleaning out old things, and physically getting

rid of, you know, things that no longer bring you joy, things

that are just sitting around and collecting pent up energy, we

talked about creating the mental space by going through the junk

drawers of your brain and clearing them out, bringing to

light those programs, those old ideas and beliefs that have

been, you know, running in the background that you just tried

to compartmentalize and shove away, but it's still there. So

we talked about that. But the other part of this is giving

yourself the space to create. So that's where this boredom comes

in, you have to give yourself that time, you have to give your

brain space to think you have to give your brain space to become

bored, so that it can come up with its creative genius. So you

can come up with brilliant ideas. So you can download

source of knowledge. So you can,

you know, just

think of new things and not just be constantly bombarded with the

noise of the world with the noise of social media with the

pressure of the notifications with the having to respond to

everyone, all of the time. We're getting all of these different

messages from all of these different sources. And so then,

like how do we even know what thoughts are coming from us what

thoughts are just replaying from things that we've seen. And

that's where this next tip is going to tie in.

I have

a habit that I have implemented in my life that has completely

changed everything. I mean, literally everything is giving

myself space to be bored. How do I do that? Well, my phone goes

off at a certain time at night, all the technology gets put away

all of those distractions, all of those notifications, they get

shot off they get put into a certain place

and and

that's it and then I stay up I I probably go to sleep around 10

or 11 at night. These days, I only have to sleep about five

hours to actually feel fully energized. And I think that part

of this is because I now put away technology and all those

notifications and that blue light I put it away several

hours before I go to bed so I'm able to get a much more deep

sleep. And I'm waking up way more energized now than I ever

did back then when I would sleep 810 hours and The other thing

that is happening is during this hour to two hours, is my brain

is on fire. It's just every all of these things are just popping

off left and right ideas content flowing through me.

Why? Because

I gave myself the space for that to happen. Okay, now, the next

tip that I have on creating space is another physical tip.

So this is one that is a tangible physical tip here. And

that is to create a blank space in your room, I would suggest

your room, you can do it wherever you want, really. But

if it's at nighttime, like I would suggest your room, and

that's what I do anyways, he blinks space, that's literally

just a blank space. So for me, that is a whiteboard, it is a

big whiteboard that I have in my room that is blank, I keep it

blank. The reason being is on a subconscious level, our brains

don't like whitespace, they don't like blank things,

especially if it's something that is typically filled up such

as a whiteboard, like, who just has a blank whiteboard all the

time you write stuff on whiteboards, right? And our

brain.

It

it's a sub on a subconscious level wants to fill up that

white space. It's very similar to how our brains don't

like unanswered questions. So when you read a question, your

brain is automatically already looking for the answer for it.

And that's just one of the ways that it operates. That is the

same as space, empty space. So having that empty space in your

bro, no technology, you're giving yourself a physical

space, and you're giving yourself a mental space to

create and to step into your genius, and to receive creative,

intuitive downloads. And I'm telling you, if you do those

simple things, if you just do those two simple things, put

away all technology an hour before bed, and create yourself

a blank space in your sacred place. Whether that be your

bedroom, I like the bedroom, because at nighttime, I'm always

getting ready for bed, putting away clothes like doing that

kind of thing. So it's like right there and I have to see it

while I'm doing it. Like that's the only thing you want to be

able to see it, put it in a place that's visible, where

you're going to constantly see it and your brain is just going

to start filling it. Now once you fill your whiteboard, you

take a picture of your whiteboard, and you race it, and

then it just will keep coming because again, it's space, it's

empty space, you are having to fill it again, your brain is

going flowing, it is going to want to fill up that empty

space. And seriously, since I've started doing this, like

everything has been flowing, the ideas just keep coming. I am not

I'm writing two books like I'm running, you know, several

businesses I'm have this podcast and in the works launching a

another podcast that is solely going to be focused on

marketing, because my my agency is a digital marketing agency

and I constantly have people coming to me, asking questions

are very specific to the digital marketing realm, that are not

people who would care at all about the content that I post on

here, the spiritual stuff, definitely more of that, you

know,

hustle, hustle,

energy, male energy, male centered energy. So that podcast

is going to have a totally different feel. But all of these

things have come to me. All of these ideas have flown to me

with ease, since I have created the ritual of creating space for

myself. And I think

that scratch that.

I know, I know that if you implement just those two, I

mean, the other two that I started with are going to help

you as well. But even if you don't do those at all, if you

just put the blank whiteboard in your room, turn off all the

technology turn off all the distractions an hour before

that, you're going to surprise yourself, you're going to

surprise yourself with the things that you think of the

ideas that you have. And I guarantee that

your million dollar idea

that you've been waiting for that you've been searching for

probably searching for online training. Find through

inspiration to other people online, through social media

feeds through the content people are writing, you're trying to

get inspired by them, you're trying to spark new thoughts and

new ideas. That's all great to a certain extent.

But for you to get your million dollar idea

for you to create that life, you want for you to truly step into

your purpose for you to truly become the person that you're

supposed to be that needs to come from you. And how is it

going to come from you, if you're constantly being

bombarded with other people and other people's opinions? I want

you to think about that. And with that, I'm going to close

this episode. Because I really don't want to dilute the message

here. And I want this to be something that you take action

on, I want you to make this sacred time for yourself.

If you're a business owner,

your entire business is going to transform. If you're a wannabe

business owner, that business idea is going to come to if

you're just working for another person, if you are an

intrapreneur, if you are working in a organization, this is still

going to help you because you're going to get more ideas, which

is going to make you more valuable to that company, which

is going to bring you more abundance, which is going to

bring you more money. Or maybe you're working for another

company right now. And you've been wanting to start your own

business but you're just can't figure out what it is you just

don't

know.

This is going to help you find it. This is magic. It's

real life

magic.

It is a tangible thing that you can do for yourself, to step

into your power to become the person that you're supposed to

be to channel your inner genius and to just allow yourself the

space to think the space to be bored the space to create.
