So I see that you guys are logging in from all over the world. And again, it's an honor to be here. And today, what we're going to talk about is actually one of my favorite freaking topics. Like really just thinking about this gets me excited. It's about how to move away from anxiety and fear and move into a place of feeling good, feeling powerful, and perhaps even happy and peaceful. How many of you guys want that level of peace and happiness and feeling good mindset? And let's talk about this for a second. First of all, how many of you guys have felt or even chronically feel in a state of fear or anxiety? If that's a lot of you guys, you're in the perfect place. We're going to talk about all of that today. So let's talk about this. Before we go into some of these practical tips I'm going to share with you today, which are really, you know, created for you, curated for you so that they can actually have an impact on a very practical level in your life. Let's talk about what fear and anxiety really are. So you guys talk about fear and anxiety, but like what is that? What does that feel like in your body? What does that feel like? Where do you feel that anxiety? Where do you feel that fear in your body? It's, you know, obviously I still go into a place of, you know, fear and anxiety time to time. You know, like I felt really scared when I was about to skydive. Or I felt really scared when, you know, when some certain things happen. But I will say for the majority of the time I live a life free of fear and free of stress. And how many of you guys actually want that? I'm sure a lot of you guys. So if that's the case, please watch till the end because I have some really powerful tips lined up for you guys. Okay, you guys. So and girls and all humans out there. So first of all, what is fear? Fear was created by, you know, within our body within the mechanism of how we live back in the day because it's really a mechanism to help us survive. Fear is in our body because it's a thing. It's a mechanism that helps us survive, right? So back in the day when we were, you know, cavemen, cavewoman, we had this fear response that really helped us, which is when we have this fear in our body, it's because we're being chased by a bear. We're being chased by a tiger. And there is an actual need for us to hyper focus all of our energy from running away from that tiger, running away from that bear, right? And it's actually and let's think about this for a second. Let's actually become grateful for fear for a second because it does serve us. Like if we're getting chased by a bear, it's actually probably a good thing that we feel the sense of fear in our body because what fear does, it, you know, hyper focuses our energy into one thing, which is taking that one action that fight, flight or freeze action that's really going to help us survive. Now, over the course of thousands of years or even longer, we have evolved into powerful, intelligent, conscious human beings, right? And so think about the last time you felt fear. I guarantee it had nothing to do with running away from a tiger or running away from a bear or running away from anything that's really physically threatening your safety. So with that said, think about that. We typically, you know, feel the sense of fear because we, we are in a social situation rather than a physical situation that's actually going to threaten our safety. You feel fear right now. Yeah. So check in with that body. You're not feeling fear of because your physical safety is threatened. So I want to go right into the one of the tips I have for you, which is number one, how to move away from fear and anxiety and step into this place of feeling good. Number one, try on this self talk mantra for yourself. I am physically safe and all is good. I am physically safe and all is good. Why is this important? Because, because fear is a survival response, it reminds us that there is no need for us to fight for survival right now. Sure. Do we sometimes feel fear and anxiety when we have homework to do or when we're going to do on, you know, some kind of presentation or, you know, you're feeling anxiety about what's to come. Okay, I get all that. However, think about the fact that you're most likely physically safe. Now, if you are in a physically dangerous situation, that's a whole different conversation, and maybe your fear response is actually warranted. However, what I'm talking about is when we think about fear, remember that I'm physically safe and all is good. It's like calming your body down a little bit because this reminds us that there's nothing that we have to fight against right now. In fact, everything is imagined, even if the worst case scenario happened in what you're imagining. Oh my gosh, I'm going to fail my test. Oh my gosh, you know, that person is going to break up with me. Oh my gosh, like, you know, I'm going to be embarrassed if I trip on my word while I'm giving that presentation. All these fears, all these worries that you have, it's socially constructed fear, meaning it's actually not real. And that physical sensation of fear is not necessary. We can acknowledge that it's happening. And here's the thing, because it's a social construct that is igniting that fear, we get to remember that that's based on the story that we're telling. We're telling ourselves a story that if this happens, I'm going to feel this way. But the truth is, it hasn't happened yet. So you can actually create how you want to feel. You can create how that reality goes in the future. So in fact, there's nothing to worry about. And even if your worst case scenario happened, you're still physically safe and all is good. Even if you're so embarrassed, guess what? That's not going to actually threaten your physical safety. You're going to survive. You're going to be okay. You're going to get over it. We've gone over all the times, all the other times that we felt, you know, we have felt anything like that. Does that make sense, you guys? I'm going to check in with the chat here for a little bit. I know it's late for some of you guys. My bear failed his test. You have no friends. That's a lie. We're all here ready to be friends with you, Steph. Yes, yes, yes. Human beings need love. That is true. So think about that, you guys. Think about the fact that you are safe and all is good. All right. So let's go into the second one, which is, I'm going to share this Wayne Dyer quote with you, Dr. Wayne Dyer. He is a spiritual teacher that admire very much. And this is his quote. It makes no sense to worry about things. You have no control over because there's nothing you can do about them. And so why, and why worry about things you do control because you can control them. You can do something about that. So meaning there's no need to control, try to control something that you actually have zero control over. That's only going to set you up to be more stressed. So for example, what's something that you guys, what's something that you guys might be worrying about or stressed about that you don't actually have control over? Like, are you going to have anxiety about the fact that maybe it's going to rain tomorrow? Maybe it's going to snow tomorrow? Well, guess what? I don't think we have a way to change that right now. So why worry? Why not just be? Why not just realize that it's going to happen and we're going to get through it? You're worried about your toxic friend. Okay. Do you have control over your toxic friend? No. No. So why worry? They're going to do what they want to do in their life and you're going to do what you want to do in your life. So just let it be. You don't have to create any stories about what's going on. So and this is another thing we can talk about. Are you, if there is a scenario that's stressing you out and you're not getting chased by a bear, you're not getting chased by a tiger or something physically threatening? Think about this. What are the facts of what's happening and what are the stories of what's happening? What are the facts of what's happening? What are the stories of what you're creating? So I saw someone that says, you have this anxiety and fear of being judged. Okay. What are the facts of what's happening? Has someone come up to you and said, I'm judging you? Or are you creating the story that they are? And are you, and even if so they judge me, and that's a whole different topic, we can have a whole lot of fun on. Even if they are judging you, do you have control over that? No. So why worry about it? It's happening just like it's going to, it might rain tomorrow. There's nothing I can do. And the story that you might be creating is that because that person's judging me, you know, I'm going to feel less than or I'm going to feel embarrassed or I can't do this. Is that true? Are the facts of what's happening? Or is that a story? And if it's a story, you know, what's cool thing about a story that we're creating in our mind that's giving us anxiety or stress, we can change that story. We simply choose to change the story. What if your new story gets to be, oh, I think that person is judging me. I know that people who judge aren't happy with themselves. So I hope that person ends up happier. That sucks. I really hope that that person finds happiness for them. And move on. Or find a way to pour love to them. But this is literally why I don't care about, I care about people. Don't get me wrong. I don't care about people judging me or not judging me or loving me or not loving me. Because A, I don't have control over it. And B, I know that people who judge others, it actually shows them more about themselves than about me. I know who I am. They don't know who I am. So they choose to create these stories that actually probably is a projection of themselves more than, you know, me. So for example, I remember somebody, I know they were judging this person in front of me based on how they looked. And I know one of you guys said this, like how you look, this is something that you worry about. I remember this person next to me, she was judging the person in front of me. We were in line to get food or something. She's like, that girl needs a burger. She's so skinny. And in that moment, you know what that told me? It had nothing to do with that girl in front of us. She used to do what she wants. But what that told me is that the person who said it was judging her own body. And therefore, she was projecting that other people as a judgment towards other people. But really, I can find out what people are thinking and what people are judging themselves on and jailing themselves in those kind of constructs based on what they're saying about other people, even if they're not saying it about themselves. Would you guys agree? Yeah. So is that landing for you guys? Is that making sense for you guys? If that is, let's say, let's have you guys type in love or yeah, love, love, love. I love that word. Yes, yes, it's good to preach it. Yes. Okay. Amazing. Number three, I'm going to move on to number three, you guys. Love, love, love. Oh my God. Isn't that kind of cool to see words of love all over? How empowering is that? This world gets to be full of love. And by the way, kind of going off tangent, every word has an energetic vibration to its word. So if you think about the word like love, or if you think about the word like hatred or fear, there's like different energies to these words. So by just saying the word like love and seeing it all over our screen, doesn't that feel good? Doesn't that feel good? Oh my gosh. I feel so much love in this shot. It's amazing. So cool. Yes. Can you guys feel that love? Even the word just saying the words love, love, love. Like I feel that energy of love expanding through the screen and I feel it reaching my heart and it expanding me. Love you guys too. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Cool. Anyways, I went off tangent. Okay. Number three, if you guys have been on any of my YouTube channel, any of my videos on Instagram, any of my live stream here, you guys will know that this is a huge part of my life. And this is probably one of the key reasons I don't often feel any fear or anxiety. And it's gratitude. Gratitude. Gratitude is so magical, you guys. When I wake up in the morning, before I even get out of bed, I think about all the things I'm grateful for. Here's the thing, you guys. A lot of the things that we are complaining about, worried about in the bigger scheme of things, it's probably not. Not a big deal. And I don't want to undermine what you're going through. I'm not saying your worries and how you feel doesn't matter because it's not at all what I'm saying, but I will give you an example. When my dad was suffering from cancer, those two and a half years that I saw him, bedridden, unable to move, unable to even take himself to the bathroom or eat anything, anything, walk. Oh my gosh, like that was a realization that so many of these worries, so many of these things that I feared or complained about didn't matter. As long as I have my health, I'm still breathing, I'm moving, I have my hands, I have my legs, I have my stomach, I have my nose. Oh my gosh, do I have enough to be grateful for every single day? Like, let that sink in for a second. So every morning before I wake up, even before I open my eyes, I lay there and I say, I think to myself, what am I grateful for? I'm so grateful that I can walk today, I can eat today. I can breathe today, that I'm alive today, that I can do the things I love today. You know, that I, you know, and think about this, if you next time that you start to go into this overthinking place of fear or anxiety, think about this. Let's be grateful that we have a brain that's so like working so well that it goes into overdrive and to thinking about these things. Like, that's not a reality for everybody, you guys even. Yeah. And so let's take a moment right here, right now. Think about three things that you're grateful for. Three things that you're grateful for and put it in your chat. What are you grateful for today? And as you type that into the chat, feel that energy shift in your body. Feel that elevation of energy change, you know, happen in your body. As you like really consciously start to think about, what am I grateful for right now? Notice your energy just expand, notice your heart expand. Do you guys feel that? Your aunt, your food, your bed, you're grateful for your family. I'm grateful for all of you guys today because without you guys, this isn't a community. Every one of you guys count, every one of you guys matter. Every one of you guys are creating this exact experience. If one of you guys was missing, it would be a completely different experience and know that I'm so grateful for each and one of you guys. Grateful for your body, your home, your family, your wife, how beautiful. Yeah, so much to be grateful for. And let's take this one step further. Think about one thing that you're grateful for because it's an ability or skill that you have. So for example, for me, my superpower that I'm grateful for is that I see each person in their best version of themselves even when they even before they do. I can see and I can talk to every single person for their most divine, their best version of themselves before they even see it for them. So I talk to that version of those people. I get to, you know, hold that vision high for those people. What is something that you get to be grateful for right now today? Ah, you're grateful for your dyslexia, that's beautiful, your creativity, your singing, your learning, all of that. Horseback riding aren't beautiful, empathy. That's incredible. Fill your mind with these thoughts, what you get to be grateful for, what you get to be grateful for about you, what you get to be grateful for for the person in front of you, what you get to be grateful for for your health. I promise when you start to fill your mind with these things constantly, there's not enough room for worries. There's not enough room to fear anything. And the cool thing is, and we can do a whole different video on this, but according to laws of attraction, you attract more of what you're grateful for. So think about this. Imagine that tomorrow, the only thing that stays in your life are the things that you were grateful for today. And let that sink in because even though it may not happen overnight and it may sometimes, but over time, that's what happens. If you are grateful for friends constantly, they will stay. If you're grateful for your singing abilities, it'll get better. And you'll attract more resources and connections that will amplify your singing. If you're grateful for adventure, you'll attract more of them. If you're grateful for psych to go, it's gonna grow. I know, that was a little plugin. But yeah, if you're grateful for your dog, your dog is gonna be there for you and love you even more. So think about that. What you're grateful for today stays. So be mindful what you're grateful for. Be mindful what you fill your thoughts with. And a side note on worries. I don't know if you guys pray or make a request to the universe or any of those things where you intentionally wish for something. The reason that prayers work is because it is infused with powerful emotion, energy. Emotions are energy, right? When we're like, oh, I really, really hope and pray that, you know, I don't know, my grandma feels better or that I get into school or, you know, whatever it is. The reason that it's powerful is because it's infused with your own emotions. But here's the trick. Here's the tricky part. How many times do we infuse worries and fears with really strong negative emotions? Right? So meaning your worries are also prayers for things you don't want. If you're like, oh, I really, really, really, really hope I don't fail that test, you're like praying that you'll fail that test. It's not silly. So why not change the story and say, I really, really, really hope that I do really well on that test and I can't wait to take action towards it? And then go take action. Yeah. Is that making sense for you guys? If so, let's say the word gratitude. Gratitude. Yes, self-fulfilling prophecy. Apps of fricking Lutely. Yeah, is that making sense, you guys? Whoo. All right. And really quickly, you guys, on the topic of gratitude, take a moment right now, pick a random name, do the little ad sign so they can, you know, see it and say, I'm grateful for you. I'm grateful for you. Say, I'm grateful for you. Pick a name in the chat and say, I'm grateful for you. Maybe pick three names in the chat and say, I'm grateful for you. And just like, let's kind of infuse this energy of gratitude together and notice that in the pure energy of giving, just saying gratitude for somebody, it actually shifts to your energy, not somebody else's and potentially theirs too. But guess what? You don't have control over that. So don't dwell on that. But I love this. I'm grateful for you. Oh, you guys, do you feel this? This is so beautiful. Oh, because they're filling up my heart with so much love. And if you guys are watching this replay, take a random name that you see in the comments and say, I'm grateful for you or go comment under their name, make their day. Why not? Or take out your phone and text somebody, I'm grateful for you. Okay, now this is so fun. This is a party. All right, you guys. Okay, let's move on to the next, next tip here. This is actually, this is actually a really powerful exercise that I actually only typically share with my VIP clients. But today, I'm going to share with you guys. So pay attention, write this down. This is really powerful stuff. It's called turning the page process, turning the page process. So, and this is really powerful because, you know, when I'm talk about moving away from fear, moving away from anxiety, I'm not saying just ignore that it's there. I'm not saying like pretend it's not happening in them, you know, try to, you know, fill your brain with happy thoughts. It's actually not at all what I'm saying. It's actually even more powerful if you can acknowledge how you feel first. So turning the page process, step number one is identify and acknowledge how you feel. So for example, are you feeling stressed? Are you feeling anxious? Are you feeling scared? Then number one, acknowledge how you feel and then write that down. I am feeling stressed. I am feeling scared. I am feeling whatever, whatever is true in your body right now, right now, write that down. And this is a powerful process or part of the process because yes, we want to move into that, but it's also really powerful to acknowledge that. So your brain isn't going into this place of, wait, why are you lying to yourself? You're not happy right now. You're not, you know, grateful right now. Stop trying to force this. That's what your brain does. So by feeling, by acknowledge how you feel, you can start to move away from it. Okay. Now, step two, after that sentence that you wrote, so for example, if you said, I feel, you know, stress, write out this sentence or this phrase until now. I feel stressed until now. I feel ugly until now. I feel scared until now. Whatever you guys wrote down. I'm just reading off the chat. Write down the phrase until now. I'm feeling destroyed. Okay. Then say until now. This is like the same act of us like turning the page. We're saying, okay, I'm on page one, which is how I feel. But until now, it's acknowledging that it doesn't have to be that way forever. We can actually choose into something else. Do you notice that shift? Now, step three, choose, create how you want to feel. This is the problem with, this is a problem that arises when people get stuck in negative thinking loops or negative feeling loops. It's fine. It's actually powerful. It's actually healthy to acknowledge how you feel, but they don't stop to create the new possibility, how they really want to feel. Okay. That's cool. If you feel stressed until now, but what do you want to feel? How do you want to feel? Choose how you want to feel. So in the chat or wherever you're writing this down, write down, I choose to feel blank. I choose to feel love. I choose to feel inquisitive. I choose to feel powerful. I choose to feel confident. I choose to feel peace. I choose to feel happy. I choose to feel positive. I choose to choose to, I want pizza. I choose to feel joy. I choose, I choose, I choose, I choose to feel, look at all these beautiful affirmations that's coming through in the chat. So powerful, you guys. Do you see how this reminds us simply by changing our language pattern that this is a choice, that we get to choose how we feel. We don't have to be the victim of how we think we feel. Now, next step, turning the page process, verbalize all those parts together. So let's start from the beginning. Right now, check in with how you feel. I feel stressed until now and I choose to feel relaxed. I feel stressed until now and I choose to feel powerful. I feel sad until now and I choose to feel happy and grateful. Bring that power back and notice this power ignite within you in your stomach as you turn the page of how you choose to feel and putting that power within you as a creator that you are and choose to feel what you choose to feel. I feel anxious now and I choose to feel cute. That is amazing. I love that. Do you guys feel that shift in your energy as you verbalize this, as you write this down, as you choose to create how you want to feel? Yeah, it's powerful. I feel free. Prana, that's awesome. I feel free. Yeah, notice that shift in your body. Notice. Yeah, I choose to feel hot. I'd love it. Go for it. Go for it, babes. Choose to feel sexy, whatever. You guys deserve to feel how you want to feel. Amazing. Is this making sense for you guys? And if it is, let's say I choose love. If this is making sense, let's write down I choose love. I choose love. I choose love. And let's flood this chat with I choose love. Yes, I choose love. I choose freedom. Whatever you choose, write that out. I choose love. Ah, yes. This is so beautiful, you guys. I love this. I'm making a video of it because this is so cool. Thousands of people saying I choose love. Yes, I love it. Yeah, beautiful, you guys. So that is called turning the page process. Isn't that some powerful stuff? I told you from the start that I'm going to share some really, really powerful exercises today to literally get you out of feeling stressed and you know, whatever, fear based emotion into feeling good today right now as we go through this process together. This shift is happening right now in this moment. Do you guys feel that as you listen to this and as you hear this, as you walk through this exercise with me, as you verbalize what you feel, what you choose to feel and as you start to talk about choosing love, choose love for yourself and stop it. Drop these fears. Like you can drop this pen. Like, you know, you can drop your, you don't drop your phone, but you know, you can drop, you know, surrender and surrender the things that don't serve you. Okay, cool. Now, another thing, you feel the difference. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. Okay, you guys. So by the way, if you guys are just logging on, welcome, welcome. I just want to let you guys know really quickly. My name is Yuri Choi. I'm a performance coach for entrepreneurs and high achievers. You are right now in Psych2Go, the largest online mental health magazine and YouTube channel creating a movement to bring more people into healing, to happiness and joy and, you know, really stepping into whatever they get to be in the world. We are creating a movement to bring more awareness for mental health and to powerfully choose into healing together. So anyways, so all right, you guys. So let's go into the next one. That is like one of my favorite exercises that you guys got to experience today. So I'm so glad that we get to talk about this. We get to walk you guys through this today. The next one. This is something that is related to mindfulness, which is meditation. I'm going to walk you guys through a meditation today so that you can start to feel that difference in your energetic state. This is actually possible. And though I want to actually talk about the mechanics of why this works. So when we talk about fear and anxiety, by the way, like I said, our brain, our body is going into a state of, you know, survival mode. And that part of our brain that's fear base, which is flight or freeze, that's being activated. So on a physiological level, what's powerful about meditation is that it literally calms the body down to a normal state. Our normal state is supposed to be relaxed, joyful, playful. That's like what we're supposed to be, you guys. Like when you look at little kids like they're happy for the most part. And that's our normal natural state. That's our homeostasis. And what meditation allows us to do is tame our physical body so that we can come back to what's actually most natural to us starting and leading with the body. We think that we're going to remove stress and anxiety out of our mind by thinking more. That's not the case because our anxiety and stress comes from thinking too much. If you're like trying to think about how am I going to be, you know, less stressed and less fearful, that's going to just add another layer. So my invitation is come back to our body. Notice that we can relax our body. In fact, meditation in an eight-week study, it's actually changed the structure of our brain, the size of the plays in our brain that actually causes stress, that makes stress on a chemical level, a neurochemical level, it actually shrinks that part. So you actually have a smaller capacity to feel stress. So why the heck would we not meditate when we know it's that powerful? How cool is that? Did you guys know that about meditation? You just thought you're going like, um, and you're like, I'm bored, right? But it's actually so powerful. It actually changes the physiological part of your brain that experiences stress. So let's try this on you guys. Let's take a moment here. And this is a real-time transformation that's happening right here, right now as I walk you guys through this powerful meditation. And if you've been feeling stressed and you have this resistance about meditation, please do stay for this. You're the one who need it the most. There's a saying, um, if you, if you're, um, it says like, you know, meditate for 10 minutes a day, unless you're really busy, you're really stressed and it's really hard for you to sit down and meditate, then you should meditate for an hour a day. This is so true. During the pandemic when it started, you guys, last year I was in California, and I knew that people were going to go into literally survival mode, like panic and stress and anxiety mode. So I was like, you know what? I know the power of meditation. I know how much it's helped me. So I'm going to amplify this meditation practice. So during the pandemic, I was meditating for like an hour or two a day. So while everyone was going into like stress mode and, you know, going into this panic mode, it was good. It was chill. And I was there to be able to serve the community. We did some really powerful fundraising for, um, the nurses and the front, like frontline workers. And, um, yeah, I got to do some really cool stuff during the pandemic. Even though I didn't leave home, you know, I was able to do a lot of stuff. I threw dance parties on zoom. Like it had so much fun. And that's because I chose a practical way to calm my body down where everyone else was feeling really stressful. So let's try to sign you guys. Are you guys ready? So excited. There's nothing that, um, fuels my heart more than, um, leading people from all over the world who are growth oriented, who choose love, who chooses growth, who, who realizes their power within as a creator to create the emotions that they want to feel in their body. And collectively, intentionally going into a state of meditation with the intention of not only elevating and growing ourselves, but elevating and growing the consciousness level of the universe. And you guys are doing that right now, right here. So let's do this. I know zoom dance party with Yuri. Okay, bring it on. Let's do it. Maybe we'll do a little bit today. We'll see. All right, you guys. So take a moment here. If you guys are sitting down, go ahead and sit up. If you're, um, lying down, that's okay too. Plant your feet on the floor like a tree. And if you're lying down, you can just pretend that the earth is supporting you, just like holding you and nurturing you and hugging you. Just imagine this for a second. Close your eyes. Feel really supported as if you have an energetic route that is going into the earth. Take a deep, deep, deepest inhale you've ever taken in your life. Fill up all the corners of your lungs and exhale everything out. Notice a relaxation. Notice the surrendering of your shoulders to gravity towards the earth. Another deep inhale through your nose. Hold at the top this time. Sip in a little bit more air. Maybe start to squeeze your body and exhale and let everything out and release. Let's do a few more like this. Another deep, deep inhale through your nose. Inhale even more. Fill up your lungs even more. Hold at the top. Squeeze your hand. Squeeze every part of your body. And exhale everything out. Do you guys feel that already? Feels good. Now from this place, with your eyes closed preferably, relax your shoulders away from your ears, surrendering them to gravity. Relax your jaws. We carry a lot of tension here. This is um we carry a pockets of tension here in stress. Relax your jaws, maybe move it around a little bit and let them surrender to the earth. Relax your tongue. We use our tongue a lot and oftentimes we carry a lot of attention in there that's unnecessary. Relax your tongue. Relax your eyes. Imagine that your eyeballs are just relaxing and falling to the earth. Open up your chest a little bit and relax and become spaciousness in your chest. Relax your stomach. They say our stomach is our second brain. We carry a lot of neurons and stress and you know all sorts of things going on there so maybe breathe into it a little bit and relax your stomach. Let it all just hang out. Relax. Relax your hips. Relax your legs. Relax your toes. And from this relax state take another deep inhale in and exhale everything out. Another deep deep inhale in as if you're sucking in all the blessings around you. And exhale all the gratitude out into the world with your eyes closed. Imagine that there is this bright white light that's radiating from the center of your heart and this bubble of white light expands slowly at first and then it creates this big giant white bubble of energy and you see this white giant bubble of energy just surrounding your body as if you're sitting in this white ball of energy that's gigantic. Notice that this is your safe place. Notice that in this giant bubble of protection in white light you are loved unconditionally. You are supported unconditionally. You are safe unconditionally and you are relaxed and you are grateful and you are powerful because this is your natural state. Notice that your entire body feels light and powerful at the same time. Notice that this white light is your bubble of protection and now that you have created this energetic protection all around you anything that doesn't belong within this bubble will not enter. I know a lot of you guys are probably empaths like I am. We tend to soak in lots of energy that's not ours. Allow this white bubble of energy to be that protection. No, no more do you let any negative energy enter this white bubble of protection that is yours that is sacred. From the space know that this powerful energy that you have generated from within you today is powerful choosing into feeling good today, choosing into joy, choosing into power, choosing into connection, choosing into whatever you've chosen to feeling confident. That is yours now and no one else can take that from you. No one can enter into this bubble of love and protection only more love and more confidence, more feeling good or sources of can enter into this bubble. You are the creator of your energetic space that you want to cause in your life. Take a deep inhale in from the space and exhale everything out. Another deep inhale and exhale everything out and then another deep deep inhale and exhale everything out you guys. Whoa, how do you guys feel for those of you who entered into that beautiful space of meditation with me? How are you guys feeling? Did that feel amazing or what? Do you guys feel the spaciousness? You feel good. You feel relaxed. You feel good, right? Feel magical. Yes, Mary. I love that. Whoo, ethereal, amazing, wonderful, better, feels great, relaxed, and powerful. I love it. And look how quickly we were able to get here. Didn't take much. A few exercises, a few shifts in perspective. That's all available for you guys. You feel hot. Love it. Love it. All right, you guys. So share with me a little bit in the chat. What was the shift for you guys? Think about like an hour ago, if you guys are still here from an hour ago, or even just a few minutes ago of logging into this live stream, how you were feeling and then how you're feeling now. How are you guys feeling now? Are you guys feeling good? Do you feel the shift? If you're feeling the shift, type in I feel the shift. I feel the shift because I certainly feel the shift. And notice that that shift is available for you guys anytime. You might think that I caused this. The truth is I didn't. You are the one who chose to be here. You are the one who chose to go on to a site to go with an intention to heal and connect with other people. You are the one who decided to be here. You're the one who decided into meditation. You're the one who decided into feeling better. You created this feeling within yourself. So remember that knowing that you can always feel the shift at any time that you want. You are that powerful. This is sounds like a call. This is, you know, feeling good group. You know, if I can make, you know, everyone, if I can help everyone feel better about where they are, sure, you can call whatever you want. You feel reborn and how beautiful is that? These are amazing. All right, you guys. So really quickly, out of those things that we share today, you guys, there's some really powerful exercises that we share today and that we did together. We talked about what is fear and what is anxiety and what that means on a neurological and biological level so that you can really start to understand that you don't have to feel that way. You don't have to go into that survival zone. We talked about this mantra. I'm physically safe and all is good as a mantra to really powerfully remind ourselves that we don't need to be in a survival mode that we can actually start to feel like the creators that we are because we are safe. All these worries and fears that we have, it's not, sometimes it's not real simply. It's based on the stories that we create on our mind, not the actual reality of what's going on. We talked about how there's no, it makes no sense to worry about the things that you have control over because there's nothing you can do about them and that, and there's no reason to worry about the things that you do have control over and that you can do something about because then you can do something about them. We talked about how powerful gratitude is. We got to think ourselves. We got to think each other, make new friends around the world. We got to think just anything realizing that that is really the magnet for all the things that we want going into laws of attraction a little bit. We talked about the turning the page process which is a really powerful exercise with the phrase until now to really remind ourselves the power that we have to choose into the feeling that we want to create within our body and our mind. And we ended it with a really powerful meditation that allowed you to create a bubble of protection and bubble where you get to encircle yourself in the feeling that you want. So those are the things that we talked about. Which one was your favorite today? I'm curious. So share with me in the chat if you'd like. And let's do this one really quick.
