Just a FEW of the topics of today’s chat with guest Kristen from Pursuit of Bliss. Trust me when I say, you need this episode ASAP.
Diving into conversation about manifestation, hard work, desire, perseverance, and ALLLL the tough stuff that goes into living a “life of design.” Kristen shares the term “higher self” with us, and provides some really helpful mindset work we can do to get over our fear of rejection and failure.
Episode 102 – Fear, Rejection, Failure, and Judgement — Why Mindset Matters with Kristen Jenna from Pursuit of Bliss
ALIGNMENT, FEAR
the fear will not go away, ‘
(9:53) “the fear is not going to go away. you are not going to just feel ready one day. you’re not going to wake up and feel more motivated, or more inspired, or more ready. you’re just not.”
beliefs are a system based on all kinds of data from our whole life
(10:00) “if someone is triggered by what you’re doing, it has nothing to do with you, it just means what you’re doing does not align with their belief system. and that’s okay. if you want a life that’s different than the people around you, you HAVE to make decisions that aren’t going to align with their belief systems.” inevitable, there will be judgement and conflict when these don’t line up.”
if you want a different life, you have to be willing to move past that
paralyzing fear went away when Kristen became free of that pressure from others
A SPIRITUAL COMING OUT
although she was ridden with fear of sharing the truth about her passion, she knew she had to share it
sit started with a shift in belief of self — lack of judgement in self
biggest difference was in the mindset changes, outward change starts inward
(8:57) “if people are judging you left and right, you have to ask yourself… am I judging myself?
the commentary Kristen received back after her “spiritual coming out” was so kind, so genuine, there was nothing to be fearful of
HIGHEST SELF
(13:25) human experience and souls — higher self is the higher version of your soul beyond your human body
they know the path of least resistance
highest self // highest fulfillment
intuition – this is where your higher self wants to guide you
“you can think of your highest self as the version of you who is already living the life of your wildest dream.”
(14:00) “in order to attract success, you must start to embody that version of you and your higher self, that version of you who already has the success / money / happiness, and make decisions like they would make.”
NOT SHOWING UP AS HIGHEST SELF
it can be so terrifying to show up as your highest self before you feel you’re ready!
(16:10) Kristen shares a look at her life BEFORE she made a change
including: a fear of making investments in herself, bad relationship with money, anxiety looking at bank account
including: spending all her time thinking in the present, instead of looking at her future
“now I always ask myself, what decisions / risks did my higher self make to get there?”
Kristen shares how she was held back (16:50) in her own personal development
KRISTEN’S HIGHER SELF
(18:05) Kristen describes the vision of her higher self as:
confident
fulfilled, happy, content
able to take risks
confidence in selling, confidence in offering
a feeling of being worthy
A CALLING, INSTINCT FOR CHANGE
things started to shift when Kristen believed she had something to offer
people can feel the energy behind what you’re saying
(21:05) the internal abundance – there is no long term wealth or money without that serious inner abundance and WORTHINESS
LIMITING BELIEFS AND MANIFESTATION
(23:00) affirmations vs. doing the internal work to change your beliefs
if I can look back on the patterns and the stories from the past, I can change the way I understand them
(23:50) subconscious beliefs of unworthiness in childhood
“as your reality is a direct reflection of your belief system”
MONEY DURING COVID
(24:00) your stories become your reality
fear of economy crashing, fear of recession — Kristen felt a duty to prove what she teaches
if your stories tell you “you will not make money in a recession,” you are limiting yourself to your story!
FROM $300 to $10K
(29:30) “confidence came from a place that I am worthy and capable”
fear means LESSONS LEARNED, not so scary!
“if I quit my job and make no money…” what then? taking power away from fear
(30:30) making first $10k month after leaving corporation job
URGE TO CHANGE / IMPOSTER SYNDROME
(35:00) if you feel pulled, called, or hear whispers that push you to
there are people out there who are
(36:30) there are people who NEED what you offer, and they NEED you to do this!
making it less about Kristen and more about the global need changed the perspective about what she was providing
how can you feel like a fraud when you are providing something that someone really needs to help them!
MANIFESTATION & HARD WORK
(43:00) it’s okay, and encouraged, to ask for what you want… but where most people go wrong is to ask for what they want by way of a particular solution
“it’s your job to create the intention and the belief behind it, and the universe’s job is the HOW and the WHEN”
our job is to release the need to CONTROL the how and the when — this is where we create resistance
“if we could simply let go and trust that it would work out for us, it would”
(46:00) doubting the process when you can’t see the results yet
manifesting situations, but backing it up with hard work
opportunity is everywhere — be open to receiving it
