You are brilliant. You’re doing awesome. You’re a freaking star.

There’s nothing that you’ve done wrong. Every experience you've ever had in your life has led you exactly to this perfect place on your journey. Isn't that amazing?

There is so much that makes each of us unique, exceptional, and truly brilliant. All it takes is a single moment of presence for you to feel into this. And yet, when is the last time you did?

So often, we spend our time in the churn of our surface-level emotions. It can be easy to get caught believing that these emotions is all that you are. But, if you were an ocean, this would be like believing that the wild waves that make up a mere 1% of you is all that exists! There is a magnificent body of water below that top 6 feet of rough churn, and in this space, it is peaceful and serene. The same is true for you.

Like the ocean, you have boundless brilliance within you. It's time to start becoming present with it so you can tap into it.

In this Thursday Thread episode, we pull a piece out of Reg Mahotra's episode from Tuesday where he speaks about feeling into your future self today. This is a key part of calling in the life that you truly desire. The more you can allow yourself to FEEL your manifestations right now in the present, the more magnetic you become to them.

The more you feel into your peace and brilliance, the more you naturally believe it. It's pretty easy to believe something when you can physically feel the sensations of it in your body!

Do you ever find yourself having self-deprecating thoughts? You're not alone. When we really stop to notice it, most people note that their internal dialogue is ... not very kind.

Any mindset coach will tell you the impact of negative self-talk. The implications of internal verbal abuse are genuinely dire when it comes to your desire to achieve your dreams because of the subconscious negative patterns and beliefs it creates.

So, how do we flip this internal script?

In this Thursday Thread episode, I pull a thread from the previous episode featuring Kristy Mandour where she shares the phrase, "Amuse yourself more than you abuse yourself.*"

This playful phrase is potent, reminding us of the importance of levity and fun – even to get us through the most challenging times. When you shift into the energy of silliness, laughter, fun, and play, you are less likely to speak to yourself in a negative tone. You are also tapping into your own inner creativity – which is an act of love.

When you catch yourself guilting yourself or worrying about how you're "wasting time" and "should be" doing other things, try creating personas to represent this pieces of yourself, while leaning into your natural aptitude for fun and creativity.

Listen this episode to hear:

• What do you when you have internal abusive thoughts.
• How to personify the pieces and parts of yourself who sometimes annoy you by turning these personalities into characters. 
• How creating characters representing the negative voices in your head can bring levity and joy to your everyday life AND help you make genuine strides toward your goals
• Why creating a cast of characters is similar to tools like breathwork and meditation in that it provides space between yourself and your flurry of thoughts

Questions posed in this episode:

• What is that thing that really gets in your way sometimes (worry, anger, guilt, procrastination, etc)?
• What is a character from film, TV, or a celebrity who comes to mind who represents that personality?
  
  *Remember that it's essential to prioritize your well-being and engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. If you find yourself abusing yourself in any way, whether physically or emotionally, seek help and support from professionals or support networks to address the underlying issues. Your health and happiness should always be a top priority.
  
  **The quote "Amuse yourself more than you abuse yourself" came from the episode featuring Kristy Mandour. She heard this quote from Jakki Leonardini who learned it from her mentor.
