Hey there, welcome to The Couragecast. My name is Andrea, I'm your host. And thank you for hanging out with me today. I hope I've got all sorts of people on listening to the podcast today that our team hustle and team manifestation because this conversation today hopefully is going to enlighten you to really just be aware of how you are showing up in your life and in your business and how important it is number one, to be in the right energy, and also to be taking action.

Now when I first became a coach, I was working hard. I was doing all the things. I mean, literally, I was doing all the things. And I really didn't have any kind of sense of manifestation in any way of any kind of energetic. You know how we did things? I mean, I would look at like time management and I would, you know, look at it in terms of energy management, and how much energy do I have to you know, to get things done. But I really didn't know that I was creating through my thoughts, I had no idea. I always thought that if I wanted to get something done, I had to use my abilities and my action. But if I'm really honest with you, like I've been a little bit at war in myself when it comes to this topic, trying to navigate my own propensity towards taking action. And also learning how to show up energetically in a way that really brings about results in my life.
2:49
And I've gone back and forth, vacillated between doing the hard work, and also creating space for things to manifest in my life. And if you've listened to other episodes, you will have heard me talk about how sometimes when we're focusing on the wrong thing that we manifest, you know, what we don't want, which is a lack of the result. And you might even go back into like episodes way, way, way before this in the courage cast. And here are we talking with people who know much more about this than I do, because I've had some brilliant people on here who've talked about manifestation like Jessica Jovanovich, or you know, human design, like Racheal Weaver or Emily Tucker, the Enneagram like Beth McCord, like there's so many people who talk about how we can show up when it comes to taking action with who we are and how we're designed and how we're created.
3:47
But friend, it is so important that no matter what you believe, or how you are wired, I guess is the right word, that you look at two different things, A, the you know what works best for you. And B, you give yourself permission to try and fail until you find your sweet spot. Okay? So if you come away with anything today with you're like, I'm totally team hustle. Let's get it done. Let's grind it out. Let's do all the work, which actually kind of triggers me sometimes I'm not gonna lie, I see people posting and I'm like, That exhausts me that thought exhausts me, or, you know, team out of stations, like I'm just gonna sit back and let everything happen. But I've also done that, and then not seeing the results right. So either of those two camps can be extremely frustrating and disappointing. So here is what I want to start with today.
4:50
When it comes to making a decision about how you want to approach, the hustle, and also the alignment it' so important that you have in your mind what you believe to be true, because whatever it is that you believe to be true will come to pass. So if you believe it requires hard work for you to be successful, then in order for you to be successful, guess what you're gonna have to do, you're gonna have to do hard work. However, conversely, if you believe that you can manifest results, and you believe that to your core, then guess what?
5:34
When you manifest, you will manifest results. When it comes to what I personally believe. I believe that I think things can have an ease and flow. I believe that I truly do believe that I don't know if I'm, you know, convincing you with that statement. But I really do, I believe that there can be an easy flow, okay, so maybe I really don't believe that maybe like, let's just let the cat out of the bag, I want to believe there can be ease and flow, I want to live out of ease and flow. But oftentimes, what I'm doing is the complete opposite. I'm working hard. And so I believe and want to believe that there can be one result. And yet, I'm putting in something completely different, which is going to be at odds with it. So as you can imagine if I'm hustling, hustling, working hard, trying to do all the things, but I think things can be easy, then the universe is like well, what do you really think What do you want, and you're confusing us. And so we're gonna deliver on the confusion. And you're gonna get more of that. So it's so important that you make a decision about how you believe things can happen, and then you act accordingly.
6:52
So for me, for example, as saying, I really believe that I can live out of ease and flow, then I need to take action out of ease and flow. That means I need to be aware of what action I do take and take it when it feels aligned, and don't push myself just to do things on account for doing, which is what I have been guilty of doing in the past. Okay, so it's so important that you are finding the sweet spot for you bet that you're in alignment with what you believe. So if you really believe in hustle culture, then that works for you. And that's what you want it to be, then go all in on that. If you're like I'm Team ease and flow manifestation, then it's really important that you fall into alignment with that, if you're a little bit like me, where you're like, No, I want to do a bit of both. I want to have ease and flow with aligned action that really allows me to do a lot of things, things that I really want to do, keeping my energy, being able to show up with ease, being able to show up in flow, then it is so important that you make that very, very clear to yourself and to the universe and operate out of that mindset. Even today, I'm recording five podcast episodes. And generally speaking, in a day, I would probably record one, maybe two, because I would only have the bandwidth for that many.
8:40
But I made a decision in alignment with what I truly felt like, oh, I have the time I have the motional and mental capacity to actually record multiple podcasts. So I wrote out five podcasts, and I'm recording all of them within an hour and a half period of time. But the reason why I'm able to do that is because I made the decision. I have the energetic alignment with it, and I am doing it. So I'm definitely taking action, but I'm also in a place of ease and flow. So if you find yourself, you know, feeling as though you are overwhelmed or exhausted, or you're burnt out when it comes to doing all the things that I want to encourage you to take a look at like Well, why do you feel that way? Where are you out of alignment when it comes to that kind of hustle culture or really, you know, wanting to manifest what it is that you desire into your life? Is there a middle ground that you can take that is going to help you and so for me, what I do is every morning I get up I have
10:00
Have a basic morning routine that works for me.There are mornings that I definitely substitute in and out. But there's part of my routine that has journaling, meditation, reading, movement, and coffee.
10:19
I mean, that's the important thing, right? Having a cup of coffee to wake up and do all of those things. And sometimes I do do them in different orders. Sometimes I you know, like today, just through my whole morning routine out, and I worked for the first couple of hours, but it felt aligned. So I did it. Knowing that probably I will go back at some point in the day, and I will pick up on those things that I did not get a chance to do this morning.
10:45
But it felt good. And so I did it that way. But you want to know what feels aligning for you. And then do it with that energy, because that is going to produce the results that you desire in your life. And if you believe that you're going to have those results, and you put that aligned action towards it, it's going to be magic. If you however, do not believe that you are going to have those results, and you're trying to put action towards something, then you're probably going to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, frustrated. And I know for myself, I have definitely definitely been in that camp. So whether or not you feel as though your team hustle, or your team manifestation, I want to encourage you that there can be a middle ground. And I would love of course, to hear what you have to say about that, where you are, how you have found yourself in being in alignment in your own life and in your business. And if you've never jumped in on our mindset, mentor circle, I would love to invite you every Wednesday we meet and it's a great supportive community where we are talking about the challenges. Some of the things that we go through when it comes to really stepping into that future version of ourselves when it comes to our mindset. And it is a free call.
