Okay,
Okay,
Okay,
It's a sunny day and this is not loud enough.
I feel like I can hear myself and it's very loud,
But is it or is it in a cloud?
Today's the day!
Thanks for showing up.
I'm Allison Shuhazi,
A super fan of energy work and engaging the intuition.
My career has spanned many genres,
Bringing me to become an intuitive coach and Reiki master.
I continue to collect a bundle of pivotal moments,
Whispers of wisdom,
And funny stories that have helped keep me real along this journey.
I hope that this podcast will ignite a spark within you to connect with your intuition and your whispers of wisdom.
So get ready because it's time to shift today with me,
Allison.
Hello,
Hello,
And welcome back to Wisdom Wednesday.
Okay,
So this really all comes from a song and something that I heard in my shower.
Have you heard the song by the Bellamy brothers?
One of my favorites.
It's definitely one of my favorites and I like to sing it really loud in my car.
Let the love flow like a mountain stream and let your love grow.
Okay,
I'm not gonna go any further because that might torture some ears and that's not very kind of me right now.
I have to get to my Wisdom Wednesday.
So let's just jump in.
Have you ever heard the phrase,
I can't make you happy,
Only you can make you happy?
Okay,
Yes,
Nod your heads,
Yes,
We've all heard it.
Well,
The same goes for love.
How can you share the love with or for another person if you don't have it for yourself?
Alright,
So I mentioned already the shower thing.
I've had a repeating message singing in my mind lately and here is what the message is saying and I've written it down on my mirror in the shower.
Yes,
I am that person.
So here's the message,
Only you can love you exactly the way you need to be loved.
Alright,
So I'm gonna repeat it by using the word I.
Only I can love me exactly the way I need to be loved and I can love you only the way I know how to love you.
That's a phrase I'd like for you to repeat to yourself a few times.
So think about this,
If we set up expectations to be loved a certain way by a particular person,
Then we've set us both up to fail.
Why?
Well,
Because only you can love you the way you need to be loved and they can only love you back the way they know how to love you.
We tend to set these expectations on love.
I know I've done it not just romantically but I know I've done it with my parents,
I know I've done it with my kids,
I've definitely done it with my friends and for myself for sure and so on.
Well,
A few years ago when I started to pay attention to words and the use of words and the feelings that they deliver,
I also started paying attention to the actions and reactions in the very same way.
Well,
Then I started doing the work and realized that when I turned within and started paying attention to what triggers me,
It triggers assumptions and expectations that I was seeking,
I realized that they're all just illusions.
These are just things I'm setting myself up to fail,
Not just for me but others.
We need to recognize that if we shift towards nourishing ourselves by filling up our tank with having fun and spending time with fantastic people that we love,
Laugh daily,
Celebrate our mistakes,
Don't forget to celebrate mistakes.
Those are lessons that are going to help you move forward.
We need to treat each other with respect and respectfully disagree.
We need to keep our minds sharp,
We need to shut out the noise so that we can stay authentic and keep our thoughts flowing,
Moving forward,
Not getting stuck in negative looping thoughts and overall just participate in life.
Let's not sit there on social media looking what everyone's doing,
Thinking about what we need to do,
Get out and do it.
Now,
I turn within to find my answers,
Okay?
I participate in life but when I'm looking for an answer instead of calling up Susie and saying,
Hey,
This is going on,
What do you think?
I pause and I turn within to try to find the answers.
So now I'm living in the present and I'm staying in touch and you know what,
I'm loving myself a whole lot more and it's not a conceited thing,
It's not an ego thing,
It's a vital thing.
If I don't feel love for myself,
How can I share that love with you and with others?
It's not possible.
So just for today,
Dig deep and figure out how much do you love you?
Here's a powerful exercise for you to open the door to yourself and to see how much you love yourself.
Introduce yourself to yourself.
Okay,
I did this two ways and I wrote these down just so that I'm laughing but it actually was,
It was really powerful.
I did this with a client and it completely shifted the way she was thinking.
So I'm gonna kind of share a little tidbit that I did with myself.
Alright,
Here's my first introduction.
Hi,
I'm Allison,
An intuitive coach and Reiki master and I guess I could continue by adding titles such as wife and mom.
No,
Okay,
No.
I'm gonna stop right there and I'm gonna try it a totally different way.
I'm gonna introduce myself to myself and this is what I did to her.
I said,
How would you introduce yourself to yourself?
So here's what I wrote.
Hi,
I'm Allison and I'm full of life.
I'm respectfully honest.
My character is layered yet authentic.
I'm creative and hopeful.
I'm an extroverted introvert.
I enjoy learning and sipping wine.
I look forward to traveling more in the future and I write every day about being the best I can be.
Most importantly,
I love who I have become and I can't wait to see where I'm going.
So just for today,
Introduce yourself to yourself and I hope that you can feel the flow of love for yourself because after all,
The more you love you,
The more you'll have to share with others.
Well,
Happy Valentine's Week everybody.
Until next week,
Shift today into a greater tomorrow.
You
