Megan Blacksmith:
Welcome Megan here. Welcome to the series of possibilities. If you are jumping into this episode and you have not started at the beginning, at episode one of the series in the beginning of December, I want you to pause and go on back, because these go in order, and there’s a process, and there’s a whole thing happening. So I want you to go to becoming zesty.com forward slash possibility so that you can get the workbook leave a review. And in episode one, we’ll be explaining all the different ways that you can win a free 90 minute breakthrough session with us. This is a very powerful way to get yourself set up and rewired for 2025 so we cannot wait for you to keep listening to the series. And if you already listened to this point, just keep on going. Welcome back. Hello there, friends. It is Megan, your compassionate mindset, Ninja and friend, and I’m happy to guide you through this series. How’s the series been going? We are on Part Seven. Part Seven, if you’re just jumping in here, go back to the beginning. There’s a reason, there’s a purpose, and there’s a workbook, and there’s a thing to sign up for, and there’s things you win. So that’s all I’m going say. Go back and do it. What’s even more important, did you hear about the moon? Did you Did you all hear about what’s happening with the moon? Did you hear about the here? Did you hear, I am here to tell you. Did you hear? Did you hear about how the moon cuts his hair Eclipse it? Gosh, every time I tell one of these silly jokes, I laugh, and then I go, think, I’ll be the only one laughing, but that’s your dad joke for today, let’s do this. So today, let’s talk about your values and your needs and whether they match. So your values are like a compass, and this tells us. It tells us which direction to go. The thing is, and when your values are in conflict, it’s like having parts. So part of me wants this, part of me wants that. And this is why we do not manifest quickly or get what we want, because when we are not totally congruent together with what we want, it is hard to get our brain, our body, our unconscious mind, all of the things we see here feel say to ourselves on board. So everything we do right, everything we do, it’s not these things aren’t right or wrong. It just fits into our values and your needs. So when somebody you know is doing things that you’re like, why the heck do they do that? That’s so weird. It fits into their values and their needs. So do you have values for you? Have you ever sat down and thought about your values? Have you it’s a really cool exercise. It’s something we do in level two of our training, and it’s something you can just do right now. We’re going to do it today in this exercise in this workbook. What I’m going to do is, I’m going to read you what Dr Alex and I came up for our values in business, and we made them into sentences because, you know, you see on the wall, it’s like integrity in businesses, right? You’re like, what does that? Even mean to them. So we actually created it in sentences, and as I read these sentences, I want you to think about what are yours. So our beliefs and our values, the greatest impact is achieved through alignment of the whole self. That’s number one, two, bringing authenticity and compassion to the journey of being human allows for powerful transformations. Three, the abundance of money is feedback and a tool for the transformation you are facilitating. Four, courageous communication, not just any communication, but courageous communication leads to stronger relationships and more empowerment. Number five, very important to us, connection, connection with community, provides a safe space to grow and evolve. Number six leads to growth. Growth and learning are the foundations of our evolution, and number seven, flowing with ease and excitement, leads to enjoying life you choose. So how did those sound to you? I want today, I want you for to write out your list of your top five value statements. We’ve been given advice before to help us grow our business, and it didn’t meet our values, so we didn’t do it. You know, if the advice comes from something that’s like super scarcity, and this is in health as well. And we believe in abundance, though the advice would require us to hustle, and we believe in flow and ease, and yet, sometimes, sometimes, you will violate your your values to meet your needs. This is important, because you’re like, why do I do something sometimes that aren’t even within my values? If all of a sudden we were lacking certainty in our life or really not feeling significant, we may start to do something that just doesn’t really meet our values. We may all of a sudden just be like, oh, somebody else said we have to do X, Y and Z, and I’m just going to post and I’m just going to take that 10 supplements in this order, right? We may just start to follow things that we wouldn’t have followed before. So the key is to stop and look when you feel you’re about to do something or make a decision that doesn’t really meet your values. And ask yourself, what needs are not being met? Which of my needs are not being met? Is it my need for certainty? Is it my need for variety and excitement? Is it my need for significance, or what about connection or love or growth, and when you figure out what that is, you can go ahead and find another way to meet that need that does not require you violating your values. Little brainstorm session, we often see this common pattern of addiction to problems. So if you want to stay protected, for example, you want to protect your stories at all costs. Maybe the story is no one can figure me out. We had that one. My health is complicated. We had that one. I’m always sick. Whatever the story is, you can get your need for protection or significance met, but not if you also want your other needs met. So ask yourself, Is this really the best way to do it? Do you want to protect your story or feel significant because no one can figure you out? Or do you want to be significant? Because you are the one who chose a different path, who chose to see the light when there was darkness all around, who chose to question the status quo and that idea of conventional so there’s always another way. There’s always another path, and that’s because we know that there are all the possibilities in the world. After all, this is the series of possibility, yes, so think about your values and your needs and what are being met, and we will end today with yet another story of possibility. Thanks for being here.

Testimonial:

Hi. I’m Diane, and more than a year ago, I took my first habit challenge with the zesty ginger team, and I honestly. Have no idea how life changing it would be for me, and how lasting that experience would be for me as well. It’s incredible to think how much I’ve grown and changed, and how much I’m continuing to grow and change into a person that I always knew that I could be and that I wanted to be. This stuff is so incredible, and it’s really fun, and I’m I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to do this work, and that the things that they teach are sustainable and and you can do it yourself, and it’s just really powerful.
