Get Out of Your Head and In To Your Energy - Janet McKee

“You cannot control your mind, the more we try to, the more we realize that we can’t, we realize it’s impossible.” ~ Janet McKee

Our guest today shares her own story of what appeared to be great success on the outside but was actually wreaking havoc with every aspect of her life. In this episode we discuss how to allow things to flow to you with ease, making peace with the fact that we cannot control our minds but learning that we can get out of our heads and into our energy, and reminding us that to climb a ladder, you do it one rung at time, gaining strong hand and footholds to support and guide you.

When things align for you because you are aligned with the right energies that is how you achieve success. [03:46]
The deeper understanding is that when you stress and struggle you put walls of resistance up that block solutions and opportunities from flowing through you. [08:12]
The more you fight something the stronger it becomes; you give your power away to those thoughts. [11:49]
The bigger truth is to get out of your head and into your energy. [12:03]
When we have a subject that we are upset about or really concerned about or emotional about the more we try to force a positive subject on it the worse it becomes. [13:25]
When you understand that you emanate an energy form within you emanate that out and that affects the reality of the life around you suddenly you realize you are no longer a victim. [14:39]
You actually have the power within you to create a good outcome for your life. [15:01]
What is consistent about the world’s most accomplished people, they don’t wait for something challenging to arise to then get themselves out of the hole, they deliberately build it from the beginning. [18:09]
Choose to Create thoughts that feel better. [19:22]
Recognize, be aware of how you feel at any point in time. [19:54]
Allow your energy to draw in better ideas and possibilities than you could ever imagine. [26:09]
Positivity clears the path way to prosperity. [28:21]
Slight shifts have incredible outcomes. [29:20]

Due to the pandemic everyone felt like so many things were out of their control and it important to recognize that there are just some things that will be out of our control. [31:54]
When you take action from a place of fear or from a place of restricted energy you are going to get a restricted result. [38:39]
It’s not about stress and struggle, it’s about ease and flow and joy that’s when you will see more creativity flow to you. [44:13]
Please remember to get out of your head and into your energy. [45:50]
