Hey there so today is podcast day so if you are tuning in for the first time welcome welcome welcome this is episode 132 and today we are going to talk about three things that limit your freedom in this life. So grab your smoothie or a cup of tea and join the conversation. Let's go. So hey there so at the time of recording this it is Independence Day in the US where everyone is celebrating freedom. We had a parade our martial arts team had to actually march in the parade so it was it wasn't raining and the sun wasn't beaming but it was still kind of humid and we stopped every so often to do one of our forms some people call them katas but it was really fun the little kids get all excited you know us kicking around and all that stuff so it's pretty fun. So just thinking about being independent freedom and just thinking about limits there are different limits that we have in our life that keep us locked in chains if I might say and you know it could be some physical chains it can be some mental ones so we're going to talk about the three things that limit your freedom in life and so the first thing is old mindset. An old mindset if you want to move forward in your life and really start living your best life or whatever you want to call it the life that you are trying to create you can't carry around an old mindset because that's going to leave you stagnant you're not going to truly have the growth that you want to have and you're still stuck in the same old mindset that's just like anything even living in different places if people are still stuck in the same old mindset there can't be any real progress it may seem like you're moving forward but then things just kind of plop or flop plop. So old mindsets and one way you can try to like change that old mindset is really start noticing it you know that's the first thing you need to know that you are carrying around an old mindset so awareness having that self awareness being aware of your thinking what you're thinking you don't have to let everything in just just because something comes across your view of mind doesn't mean you have to go down the road with it you can notice it and say yeah yeah okay whatever I'm gonna choose to think about something else and you can redirect redirect re-rewind reframe refocus on something more high frequency something that's going to make you feel more vibrant and alive that's the start of getting out of those old mindsets or that stinking thinking so the second thing that limits your freedom in life are low relationships and I say low relationships because really it's all in your perspective but look around at the company that you keep who are you spending your time with sometimes the very people that you love can be the ones that are holding you back from true freedom so take a look at your surroundings take a look at who you are hanging around with on a daily basis maybe who you're texting maybe you are trying to get up earlier and you have someone that texts you late and you have a hard time getting that person you know getting that getting that person to stop texting you that's where boundaries come in that's where you start setting those boundaries and say hey you know I like texting with you but this is the time I need to cut it off I gotta wake up or you know turn your phone on silent or vibrate or something you know you got to do something to change so if you want to take off the limits you're going to have to look take a sneak peek at those relationships and reevaluate those are there are they helping you in your progress or are they really hindering you and limiting your progress so take a look at those relationships and the third thing that limits your freedom in life is having no plan so no plan you got to have a plan if you don't have a plan you've heard people say you plan to fail you got to have something it doesn't have to be maybe you don't know exactly your next step but at least have a plan to set a plan to do one thing if there's one thing that you can do to start implementing do that one thing that is a plan a lot of times you can get so caught up in the actual planning and it can become stressful then you do nothing because maybe you're trying to do too many things at one time so start with that one thing when you have done that one thing you're chipping away chipping away at that one thing and then when you feel comfortable enough to move on and then you move on to something else so let's recap so three things that limit your freedom in life are number one old mindsets number two low relationships and number three no plan so again to rectify these take one take one at a time I suggest number one dealing with that mind because once you start changing your mindset all the others will start falling into place so one way you can start changing your mind is through meditation I have a plethora of now different meditations there I have some that are five minutes I have some little mantras pick one thing to focus on and at the end of this podcast I will make sure you have access to those and just pick one whatever your favorite number is you just land on that one and implement that one thing to help start changing your mindset again if this is your first time tuning in this is conversations with high Keeney podcast is mindful living one day at a time I am now on insight timer the insight timer app as well as 13 plus podcasting platforms insight timer is a app that you can download it's a platform for meditation teachers and thought leaders and so if you want to go on there you can listen to my latest meditations on there that the ones that I have posted on there haven't posted all of them if you want access to all of them they are housed on my website how to live in time calm I'll put that information in the show notes and like I said you can randomly pick there are several the last few podcasts over 100 plus when I got to 100 I started doing meditation style format towards the end so whatever your favorite number is pick that one and there are some action steps in each one of my podcasts on how to start adding meditation to your lifestyle and there are many meditations within them and so something quick it's easy and you can implement it immediately and it takes practice you may be somewhere else in thought your first few times as you start meditating it's okay when you notice that give yourself a pat on the back because you are being aware that's one of the first things being aware that you have drifted off that shows that you are there you are where you're supposed to be so challenge to you go forward go for it and forward and be the change that you want to see until next time learn to love and learn to serve bye for now
