 Hey, it's Bridget. Welcome to Sunday morning coffee with Bridget. I have my coffee shirt on. This is a awesome coffee Christmas shirt that I got from my sister Maria. Thank you, Maria. My little sister, not just a friend's sister, but a sister's sister, my sister, my little sister Maria. I'm actually the oldest of three kids in my family. I'm the oldest and then it's my sister and then my brother. Hey, guys, if you're watching how my Santa mug. Did you guys see that I do have merchandise for the holiday season. I though, although at the time you get see this. You might have to get it for next year because I have no idea about like the way things are shipping and all that kind of stuff but check out my merch it's linked below. I have it sitting here I did a reveal. Oh, there is a black background and the white background. Nice. I should give one of these away. I should do that when that'd be fun. Maybe I should do that. I'll have to think about a fun way to do that. All right, so this is on your morning coffee today. Well, we're going to talk about inspiration. Okay, that's the topic is being inspired and it's not what you think it is. Okay, being inspired doesn't mean you're super happy and so productive all the time. Being inspired can be simply getting the energy to just get out of bed if you're dealing with depression if you're facing a health crisis. If you are in a place mentally where you just don't feel like facing the world. Inspiration can simply be taken a shower. It can come from a lot of different places right but it is in a way, there is this energy of an action that happens like a giving and a receiving. So, we're going to talk primarily on being a receiver of inspiration, but in order to be a receiver of information you have to reach out and take an action in order to get it. So what might mean picking up your phone. So what I'm going to do right now and I'm going to go through and share with you some of my inspirations right I'm very auditory right now I'm learning that sense my senses. I'm super auditory. So, senses and the way we sense and feel things is extremely important, especially as an intuitive, especially as a heart based person as an empath and you've heard me talk about empath being empath, a lot, and you definitely are one if you follow my work at all. Okay, okay my hair. All these little things yes project yes. Okay. All right, so I can see it it looks like it's glowing so it's bugging me okay here we go. So sensitive I'm so sensitive. That's a good thing that a bad thing. So my senses sensory stuff I'm very auditory, which means. I'm going to share with you some of the ways that I get inspired, receive inspiration so the first thing is music so that's why I have my airpods and I go to my playlist. Okay, there's a lot of songs on my playlist I bet you can bet there's a time a wide wide variety from country to R&B to old school like 70s I got like cut the carpenters and the BGs and I've got Prince and Michael Jackson and Rihanna and Beyonce and Nellie and let's see who else do I have here who do you in the blue fish REO Speedway again. I have Christmas music here. Let's see what else do I have a foreigner Melissa ethrich nine and nine inch nails. Got a little sting here. What else do I have. I haven't have Justin Bieber on here. Sorry, that's the song I have. Big head Todd and the monsters. Timberland apologize. Love that one. Rock set. Def Leppard paper boy. Diddy, that's the song I have. TLC. Popper. See what else I have that I can share with you on here. Sarah McLaughlin. Faith Hill. Jennifer Lopez. Maroon five Fleetwood Mac did I already said survivor I think I already said that. Mark Cohen. Camila Cabello. Lots of Disney songs on here. Dua Lupa. Around here. Yeah, so lots Queen George Michael. Toto. Lots got a lot of stuff on here. So I will just grab a song and start listening journey. Sounds good. Okay, actually we're going to listen to the one by I just saw it now I just lost it. It's from Steve Perry, foolish heart. So I'm going to listen to that for a second. And now sometimes music, especially the auditory piece, the music part, some music can really put you into a state energetically that is lower than what you want to achieve. So the foolish heart song might do that for me. So I'm going to listen to it and I'm going to feel the energy as to how my body responds to it. So I'm just going to pick that journey feels good journey feels like a really good one. So I'm going to pick that band. I'm just getting an intuitive hit from that. I haven't listened to music yet today so, so I'm going to do this Steve Perry foolish heart I'm going to listen to it in my AirPods. After the YouTube ads. Okay, let's see. Okay, so it's playing. Oh, whoops, whoops wrong one. I pushed the wrong one. Here we go. Sorry, here it is. One of the concerts. I'm going to wait until we get to the refrain. Okay. So far it's good. It's kind of making me move. Yeah, it's invoking some emotion. You've been wrong before. Don't be wrong anymore. So, is that inspiration, is that inspirational it. It causes me to feel. I'm receiving the energetic vibration of this auditory inspiration piece music. And it's causing me to feel, but the words itself now so the music and kind of the flow of it just felt really good in my body and I could really feel in the beginning. And then, when the words started going it caused me to question a couple of the keywords. I love that grows. Yeah, growth is like growth is a good vibrational energy for me I can I get inspired by the word grow. And then I need to love that strong strong the word strong and I'm kind of shifting into a different part of me. So growth feels like expansion and open crown chakra. You know, good for me that's this is how I'm responding right. And then the strong feels like my arms automatically like go up and they're like, er, and I'm like, Oh, if I have to be strong. That must mean that there's challenges. And so then I kind of tense up a little bit so my shoulders get into place, the meridian across my shoulders doesn't relax and release it gets like ready to be like, is that strong like is it because I'm not. Is it because some bad's going to happen like like instantly I'm like Oh alert. So, the words are creating some conflict with my energy. So as I'm receiving this energetic inspiration through music. The instrumental part is working with me and it's kind of mellow and the beat and I like it and my physical body really, really likes that I can feel that I could just list I just like it. And I like the tone of his voice is great to me works for me. So those two things are good but the actual words then start to activate within me energy that is not all that inspiring it's more like a vigilant energy or an anticipatory energy. And maybe it's because it's a love song let's just be clear, then it causes you to question and then it's like, well I play the part of the fool again. Kind of thing like okay am I going to make a bad choice in life, am I going to make a bad decision. And it's like the concept of trying to stop yourself before you start and it's like because is this a bad choice and then it questions your judgment. So, this is not all that inspirational. However, this may be an inspiring energy, because it might cause me to feel and to question pieces or places in my life it might be about my job might be about our relationship. It might be about absolutely anything but it might bring up the opportunity for me to feel in a safe way. Some of the feelings that are moving through my body. However, once I finish listening to the song if my energy is just in a lower place and stays there. That's an issue. Then it's not inspiring it's not supporting and helping you. So let's pick another song. Music is one of the most powerful ways to change your energy, your mood and your attitude quickly and we all know that. So you really got to be mindful of how it sounds the tone and the words because the words are messing with your mind, and it's triggering your heart to feel and feelings are great but they're also challenging. Okay, music can be a very safe way to feel. Maybe I shouldn't call this inspiration maybe this should be about music maybe this should be about feeling. Okay, so I'm going to keep talking. Let me get a song that I would listen to if I really if I want to feel inspired, like I want to feel a pick kind of a pick me up. Let's see. There's a Michael Jackson song I will be there. That's a good one that I liked. I can listen to for that. There's George Michael and Aretha Franklin singing. I knew you were waiting for me. Okay, I just did that in the microphone. Okay, let's see. Oh, Lee Wood Mack don't stop thinking about tomorrow let's do that. That one's one that I remember like from my childhood I think it. I remember hearing it. When I was younger two nights on my playlist here so here we go okay here we go. Don't stop. Okay, this is good. This is so good. This one's good. Yesterday is gone yesterday is gone don't stop thinking about tomorrow. Yeah, if you wake up and don't want to smile if it takes just a little while. Open your eyes. Yeah, I just pick me up it's like come on, come on, come on let's get up let's get going let's do this let's step into the world let's be optimistic and hopeful about the future and I know it's not easy and let's just do that. This song by Fleetwood Mac. Don't stop is good for that for me. Okay, so now I feel good, like see my heart feels open it feels uplifted. Some of the words, I really like don't stop thinking about tomorrow because tomorrow is more positive more hopeful. You, there's hope, there's hope, you know, it's like don't let it go, you know, don't let don't let whatever's happening today whatever happened yesterday don't let it define you just regroup. Get up and move and dance and stuff. Yeah. This is kind of a fun Sunday morning coffee. Okay, so we're going to take these out. There's other things that you can do obviously to get inspired or to have inputs coming into music is the easiest way but you could listen to a podcast you could listen to. I like to listen to the we can do hard things podcast. Yeah by Glen and Doyle and her sister Amanda and sometimes her wife Abby Wambach is also on there as well. There's other ones also there is there are a couple of other podcasts that I listened to also but but and also books on audio and things to and and even on YouTube you can listen to speeches like motivational speakers like life coaches. That you resonate with that just help you to feel good and better and maybe even like preachers and things you know like if you're if you're a fan of that and you like that kind of vibe and you can listen to that. As long as the messages that are coming in for you resonate with you and allow you to feel inspired like into a place where there's a spirited connection for you that is hopeful optimistic and positive that's what you need. That's what you need. And I'm very serious about saying that some days just getting a shower can be inspiring, like just that fresh water on you freshening up putting on some makeup, or putting in a pair of earrings which I don't have right now. I'll put on some jewelry or something or perfume or lighting a candle that smells good I just got the best smelly candles for the holidays so good so good. Lighting one of those just makes me feel good. And so that can be inspiring and the scent of it to their smelly candles so they, the scent of it and very sensory so like the sense, the smells that auditory pieces are super key for me right now, which is what Sunday morning talk is about also to pass that information on to you. So if you do feel really sensitive energetically, or if you feel like you've disconnected from your emotions, and you feel like you just can't show up for people and you just feel kind of number empty. That might be a very strong indicator that you are not getting inputs for yourself. So if you're not coming in or requests for you to have outputs. And so you just turned everything off, you got to learn how to be in a healthy state of receiving and simple little inspiring little things can do that for you, you know special necklace that your grandma gave you a great lip gloss like that's my thing I'm constantly putting in fact I don't have any close to me but I'm constantly putting the gloss on it's like a Bridget thing it's like my security thing. I like lots of different colored ones and that kind of thing that's my thing and perfume or essential oils. For inspiration, you can also do visual stimuli. So you can physically sketch or draw or paint, or do those color books, they have nowadays, or you can use cards like card decks. This is my favorite traveler Denise on card decks that I share on my fairy grasshopper channel a lot because this is a really practical easy to use deck, but the pictures the energies that are in here. This is visual stimulant right that is inspiring staying focused, hold the course. So there's so many different things you can do you guys and I know this season isn't not easy because I know that senses are so heightened right now. Oh my gosh, but let's utilize it. Let's get inspired instead of deflated. So let's not buy into the hype of giving so much that we just have nothing left for ourselves it's not about that you can be constantly resourced and you are totally unrenewable resource your energy as it doesn't seem my way but it is. It's not that way it's because you're not getting adequate input. It doesn't mean you have to stop giving to everyone it means you have to start receiving intentionally say I want to be inspired I want inspiration might be an acute shirt that someone gives you that you love. This is really sweet hello Sunday morning coffee I mean so it's so perfect isn't it. Yes, like that, you know, some just that sweetness that genuineness that happens in moments that happens by small little subtle choices that you make as to what kind of music you listen to and the words and the music and what you resonate with or feel from that. You know, it does not have to be complicated my friends does not have to be. So let's step into this month of December together. And let's intentionally connect with things that inspire us doesn't have to be expensive either you don't have to buy it, not to buy it at the store. Okay. Everybody around you is already in your sphere. Okay, so tap in and intentionally receive inspiration. It will help motivate you. It will help keep your energy up lifted lighter, more positive and healthy for you and all of the different areas of your life.
