Ep10. Time for CHANGE: where to look for signs & find courage to change your path

Jason Burnett is a 3x Olympian (Rio, London, Beijing) in gymnastics, Trampoline. He's also a 2x World Record holder! Jason shares what it took to pursue those massive dreams & the setbacks & reflection along the way. 

Following a long & successful athletic career, Jason also speaks about the quest to find a future purpose which measures up to the feeling he had whilst jumping sky-high, on the tramp. Filling the void left after setting aside the passion & dedication given to a sport or career is an experience we're very familiar with here on the Corine Moments Podcast. You may have heard Corine's very emotional episode speaking about her own experience following retirement from Cirque du Soleil.

We're constantly being told that to accomplish big dreams we've gotta get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Cut the crap! That's just not always true.

Yes, when we set big goals, they definitely require going above & beyond & sometimes pushing ourselves outside of that comfort zone. To do new things we must do new things! But we also mustn't live uncomfortably or sacrifice our self along the way.

There's a clear line we must set, with boundaries determined by us, of how we want to FEEL in this life. Alignment is a feeling of being at home within ourselves & while on the pursuit of the great things we're taking on. If we're not in alignment we're not in a place to reach our full potential.

Corine talks about making the hard hard choice to retire from her dream career performing for Cirque du Soleil Koozå in order to not get ”too comfortable”. But knowing when is the time for change isn’t always easy, especially with all of life’s distractions & responsibilities. But we have a responsibility to first & foremost to ourselves & our happiness.

5 signs its time for change:

1. What is you gut/intuition telling you? Is it demanding your attention? Is it dropping sides of interest two something unexpected? Are you curious about something that you just keep putting aside but it keeps creeping to the forefront of your mind? All these things are your gut trying to tell you something. Write down what you’re feeling. What you’re afraid of. What you crave. W3hat your needs are. Whats you know to be true about yourself. Let it out freely on paper. Day after day & you will find your answers.
2. Stop waiting fro the “right time” or to “feel ready”. There’s no such thing! There will always be a bazillion reasons to hold off. Lean into the fear, learn as you go.
3. If you’re feeling too comfortable or complacent in your current situation. When we get comfortable we stop pushing our limits, our creativity dwindles & that fire in the belly begins to dim. I want you fired up!!
4. You deserve to be happy!!! If you’re finding yourself resentful or genuinely unhappy where you’re at, be it job, relationship etc. You deserve a life of joy. Sometimes we have to ask for it, demand it & create it ourselves rather than wait for circumstance to change on its own.
5. Follow the itch, the things you’re curious about the dreams you’ve bene putting aside cause you don’t have time. If its coming through, it deserves your attention.

After an NCAA career as an Artistic Gymnast at Oregon State University, Laura-Ann had the opportunity to run away & join the circus. Obviously she dove in head first & toured the world for 7 amazing years with Cirque du Soleil’s Amaluna. Then the pandemic hit the global community & Laura-Ann & all her fellow performers were sent home to wait it out, with no idea when the curtain would re-open. She’s still waiting (along with many others) to find out when, if ever, she’ll get the opportunity to swing across the stage again.

In this episode she shares her own “dark time” grappling with the unknowns so many are experiencing with the future. Through all of that her true character shines, she’s opting for a silver lining. Pursuing her passion for PR & furthering her education & personal development as she navigates the many unknowns. She also collaborated to create Project Lumière a facebook community for people from the performing arts to share professional resources, bond & support one another as the stage has gone dark.

If you’re struggling with your mental health & going through a dark time you do not seed to suffer alone. Please, reach out to a friend, family or mental health professional in your area.

Purpose is a tricky beast. We’re constantly seeking fulfillment & taking on new things, bigger goals & buying shiny objects to get our next hit. Ultimately, for maximum vitality our purpose has to come from within. After all, we’re human BEings not human DOings.

After close to a decade of soul searching, lots of journaling, research, crying, trying, a global pandemic & finally some chakra alignment with The Bodhi Effect its become undeniably clear that living with Purpose means living in alignment with one’s self & making time for the personal pleasures which fill our cup.
