So let&#8217;s say maybe the fantasy is to, to be with your soulmate. Well, what is it about that maybe it&#8217;s about being loved and understood for who you are, maybe it&#8217;s about feeling more love and connection in your life. So, instead of needing that perfect fantasy or fairy tale, you invite in right now and you say, how can I show myself more love, right now. How can I, in this moment, practice more connection with people. So we look at the signature to the fantasy, the reason why we want it, and that&#8217;s a great place to start. Be very compassionate and kind to yourself because we are all more hard on ourselves, which makes it harder to get to that place of joy and wonder.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>How do we discover what brings us joy, after a lifetime of people pleasing and being a chamillion? I don&#8217;t know the real me<\/strong>.<ul><li>First thing you can ask is, &#8220;when is the time that I felt alive, I felt connected, I felt maybe free to be me?&#8221; Sometimes it takes a little work because we block out parts of our childhood. When we people please, we do that because it&#8217;s a way for us to get love, so when we help others, and please them, we are doing it at the sacrifice of self. The very first way is to just be compassionate with yourself. Say, I&#8217;m willing to live my life in new ways and that in itself starts to shift you into a place of recognizing what the block is. Is it that maybe you feel self love is selfish or, who am I to really go after what I want. But that might not be your voice, it might be your mother&#8217;s voice growing up, so we have these beliefs and we must ask, who&#8217;s belief is this? I was there when I was depressed in advertising I had spent the whole life living for others. It wasn&#8217;t until I disengaged with needing to know how, and then allowed it to reveal itself within me. It&#8217;s not about finding it outside of us, that&#8217;s the key, you already have it within you, you don&#8217;t have to go find it. <\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>What if you don&#8217;t have a memory of pure joy, love and have lived a life of fear right from the beginning?<\/strong><ul><li> I think reframing the question to say &#8220;when is a moment that I felt safe?&#8221; Because when we&#8217;re in fear, alot of times we don&#8217;t feel safe and maybe you didn&#8217;t feel safe as soon as entered into the world, there&#8217;s a lot of trauma. There can be access points in your life, it could be maybe just sitting here watching this workshop today, it could be maybe just waking up and going through a gratitude, or finding a book in a bookshelf at a bookstore. What you can start to do is go deeper into wider instead of thinking, &#8220;I can&#8217;t find that moment of joy,&#8221; go into your whole life and start to say &#8220;well what do I appreciate?&#8221; I&#8217;ve been living in a life that&#8217;s been very fearful, but in these moments are there parts where I can allow myself to just have a moment to be? And that will give you more clarity as you go deeper, I hope that helps.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shannon&#8217;s Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playwiththeworld.com\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shannon\u2019s books<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playwiththeworld.com\/unshakableinnerpeaceoracledeck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unshakable inner peace oracle cards<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playwiththeworld.com\/discover-your-reason-for-being-free-coaching-resource\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resource guide<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playwiththeworld.com\/your-calling-quiz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover your<\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playwiththeworld.com\/your-calling-quiz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playwiththeworld.com\/your-calling-quiz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">true calling (quiz)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playwiththeworld.com\/discover-your-unique-intuition-style-quiz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover your intuition style<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\"><p>Start the new year without worry, self-doubt, judgment, fear, or insecurities with the help of, Shannon Kaiser, author of Joy Seeker.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":8795,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[127,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
