I love that you are finding me wherever you can and getting these episodes into your days. I love hearing that some of you are listening on your commute. Some of you are plugging me into your ears as you do your morning routine any Breakfast and some of you are snuggling in bed with me at night before you go to bed. Every time you give me feedback either by email or by Instagram. Both of those will be in the show notes, by the way. It helps me Envision where this show should keep exploring and it gives me direct insight into what you need to hear more of that's what matters to me. So keep it coming. All right, let's get into these three life-changing questions to ask yourself. Today, so I'm just going to quickly summarize these three questions and then I will explain what each one means to me and I will break down the Magic in each question. So if you are a note taker you can just write down what these questions are and then we will get into the meat of this episode. Number one life-changing question. What would I do if I knew everything? That I do will be good enough. Mmm. So juicy number two. What could I achieve if I became my truest self? I need everyone to ask them that question way more often and number three, how can I get more naked today? You've heard me ask that on the podcast before I'm going to keep asking my audience time and time again, and I want it to be a part of your personal routine. All right, so let's begin with the first question. What would I do if I knew everything that I do will be good enough? Every time you sit down to get some work done. I want you to ask yourself this every time you are about to send a risky text to someone that you like or that you want to impress. I want you to ask yourself this heck. I want you to get this tattooed on your body. Just get it before vulnerable conversations between you and your partner. Before meeting your partner's family for the first time before going on your first Facebook live and your voice is starting to shake maybe when your palms are sweating before your dream job interview. Ask yourself this one simple question. What would I do if I knew everything that I do will be good enough. Your shoulders will inevitably drop you'll feel more like yourself. You'll skip right through layers of resistance that are built up like walls and I say this because I have those walls of resistance. You will escape the fear of being rejected. You'll deeply consider the fact that you are Good enough. And that's the Magic in this question. You are good enough. I'm not telling you that because I want you to Coast through life and be content and never strive for anything more than what you already are. I'm telling you that because not enough of us believe that we are good enough. If we all believed we are truly good enough. We wouldn't be in these jobs that don't fulfill us. We wouldn't be in relationships that we know we're settling for let's just be honest. We wouldn't be living these diluted lives just to fit in with friends. We wouldn't be wasting so much time trying to make ourselves look better than others because we know that we are good enough just from being ourselves. We wouldn't stop ourselves from greatness like we do on a regular basis. Why can I speak to this so clearly and honestly because I need this question as much as you do and that's why I originally created this question. It's a Taylor Lane original. This question came to me one day when I had been procrastinating sitting down and starting my work at my laptop. I finally sat down in front of the computer and I felt a rush of thoughts come to my mind and they were not pretty. These thoughts were like, oh they're going to hate you. They expected these resume edits yesterday. They're not going to like them. They're not going to think it's good enough there. It's going to look too much like the one they already passed you. I mean duct at the sound familiar. I was making the decision that others were going to judge me and I sealed my own deal on not feeling good enough right there with all of those self-sabotage. Negative sentiments that I was accepting by letting them control my thoughts now I had already been procrastinating all morning. I then sat down and didn't actually get to my task because I was running through all of these thoughts in my mind, right? So I had already let the feeling of not being good enough control half of my day. Basically that's ridiculous then luckily. By divine intervention or something This brilliant question flew into my mind like a miracle. What would I do if I knew everything that I do will be good enough. Huh? I'd probably just sit down and do my work, press the send button. I'd know that I did a good job for my clients and I'd move on to the next next task and I'd feel productive. Wow, wouldn't that be easy? Yeah, it really would be that easy, honestly. And since that day, I've been sharing this question all over the place in person with my friends on Instagram in my stories and on a post and the response has been wild people have told me this question has never come into their minds. No parent. No teacher no Mentor. No TV show no Instagram quote. No nothing has ever allowed them this permission to consider the fact That life might be a lot easier. If I knew everything I do was good enough because it is it is good enough. You are good enough just by being it is good enough just because you did it. I want to make that so clear to you right now. People have told me that this question saved them from lots of mental suffering about things like work like friendships relationships family events Financial struggles everything. So I want you to try it and I can't wait to hear what effect it has on you and your life. Just popping in here to quickly let you in on a big secret. I've teamed up with two dear friends of mine Hannah and Madison to create an incredible Community for women like you it's called the inner Bloom Sisterhood, and I'm so excited to announce that it's finally open to join the inner Bloom Sisterhood is a safe space. For women to discover their truth come together for support of conversation, no judgments and learn from the wisdom and Gifts of other talented sisters. I know so fun by attending our virtual women circles engaging in our private online form of exciting topics and my personal favorite experimenting with empowering lifestyle choices. We can bloom into who we are truly meant to be keep loving sister now back to the episode. All right. Let's move on to number two. Number two is what could I achieve if I became my truest self Hallelujah. I love this question. And again this question came to me in a different sense. It actually came to me when I was thinking about a thought that I've seen on many Instagram accounts of people. I Of people in the self-help area of coaches and mentors and I've seen it written in a lot of journals. Okay. I'm a journal girl. I like my stationery. I like my agendas anybody else guilty as charged. So I was actually just kind of analyzing this popular question about reaching goals. And this is this is what it was. So I've heard this for many years. Set a goal think about the person who has does or is that goal? And then asked what would she do today? And it's quite motivating. It's like I could be that person. I totally got this I need to do is change my habits. I just get into the mind of that person who's making that money who's doing that thing who is identifying herself as that as that woman and I do it and I do the things yeah, it was all fine and good until I realized that this prompts us to believe that we need to become. Someone else or different in some way in order to have the life we desire. And then I was like, oh no, I am not on board. Nope. That is not true. Maybe some of you saw this moment on Instagram because I actually recorded myself live talking it out to my audience. Like I guys I need to think about this with an audience in front of me because this does not make sense to me. And I'm so glad I had that realization. Because that is not true. We do not need to become someone else or a different version of ourselves. To have the life we desire that is in fact the opposite of the truth. You want me to set a goal from the perspective of who I am right now and I want to go for myself in the future and then take steps to become the supposed person who would achieve that goal in order to be able to achieve it in the future. Who else is confused that I am not signing up for that? Absolutely not. I will not allow that thought to run my motivational mindset anymore. Absolutely, not. The best thing we can actually do for ourselves is to stop wasting time trying to be something different. We can become who we truly are and then see what we can achieve from that that is way more expansive. It just lifts my whole spirit. I am waving my hands in the air right now. And it's just me in this room with my podcast recording equipment. Wow. Do you feel that? That is an expansive question? That is the key. Stop wasting time trying to become something different and instead become who we truly are. Get naked that's the key. Right. So the question is not who do I need to be calm to achieve my goals? No, the question is what could I achieve if I became my truest self of my whole body is vibrating right now. That is an amazing question for me. I know that if I committed to who I truly am. Oh boy, and I mean really committed like really committed every time I started asking myself. Who should I become who do I need to become? What habits do I need to change? How can I evolved into the better version of myself? What would she do? What would she say as my affirmations? What would she lead me to do all that crap? I mean really cutting that out of my life and recommitting every time my brain starts to flow in that direction. Action recommit being my truest self who I already know which I am lucky to say that because many of us do not even know but I am lucky enough to have witnessed. My most naked self. I know I go deeper and deeper and deeper from that point, but I at least know who I truly am right now I can say that for sure. But I need to commit to it and see what I could achieve because if I did that I know in my heart I could impact thousands of women's lives. I could write books I could speak to large crowds of people I could speak on stages. I could shift perspectives of people who really need to hear what I have to say. And I also know on a more private scale. I could have a private life that is deeply fulfilling. Where I get to explore my spirituality on levels that I don't allow myself to right now because other things are are quotes more important for me to focus on I would have a private life that includes having children someday creating my version of a sanctuary and a heaven in a home. I could create art I could play music. I could feel vibrant everyday no matter how I choose to move my body or what I choose to fuel it with. I mean, I know it. I'm absolutely certain. What could you achieve? If you became your truest self. Your list is probably a lot different than mine. And that is absolutely valid. But when I'm not committed to myself I can't achieve any of that. I just stay busy stopping myself from doing things. I limit my opinions. I limit my expansiveness. I bring it back down to reality. But if I'm being my true self, I am not a realist. I'm an optimist. but instead I stopped myself for from going for you know certain opportunities and I waste time focusing on other things. That would be more practical. I talked myself out of taking risks like I'm a freaking lawyer or something. But enough of that. Enough. Okay, please promise me. Ask yourself this question and your world will change and your next steps will become clear and what you can achieve will be this big expansive possibility instead of going the backwards way and trying to set definitive goals and then become a person who has those goals. I mean that just doesn't fly with me doesn't fly with me and that's why I'm offering you this question. What could I achieve if I became my truest self? All right. Let's get on to the third and final question. This is the simplest of the three and it is no less powerful. Are you ready? How can I get more naked today? This is the last question that I will suggest until our next episode about powerful life-changing questions. It will help you shed. What is covering up your truth on a daily basis? And that is the work. That is the work of getting naked. It's not just a set it and forget it process people. I didn't just decide. Okay, I'm getting naked show me who am I? What does she care about what kind of things in my life have to shift? I decided that getting naked was a process that I'm committed to because I know it's my true north. I know it's my compass. I'd be silly not to and I know you know it too because you're here listening, so It's not like we want to diverge from that track or specifically go against our intuition. It's that life and society and our jobs and people around us even when they mean good. In our own thinking patterns cover up our truth. So yes, we need to shed. We need to shed. What is covering up the truth on a daily basis. So, when would I ask this question at the beginning of a day for those of you who write morning Pages maybe or like to get some mental groundwork in for the day during your commute, you know, whether you're driving or on a public transportation system like a train or the Metro or even people who don't usually do any thinking in the morning. It's okay. Everyone, I want you to start asking yourself this question. How can I get more naked to day now? This might prompt you to think about a lot of things it might get you thinking about how vulnerable you are willing to get about a certain situation and let me tell you the answer will come to you right away, but it's up to you to hear it from your intuition. And accept the answer. Now if you get a very mad at the fact answer that you do not want to take action on that is okay. All right before I go any further. Into explaining the magic of this question. I want you to know that. You don't have to admit how you could get more naked today and take the action in the same day. I know that a lot of the answers to this question are not going to be fluffy. It's not going to be like, oh, well, why don't you tip your Barista in the cafe it no, we're talking about getting naked down to the soul stuff. This is not your fluffy answer that's going to pop into your mind. So. I asked you have the courage to hear the answer and just know you don't have to judge yourself. If you're not ready yet to actually put that into action. It's okay, write it down, please that's the action if that's all you can get that is getting more naked. Okay, cuz some of this stuff is Big so it might ask you how vulnerable you're willing to get. It might suggest that you're hiding from something that you've been hiding for a while. Maybe about a truth in your life. Or this question may just ask of you that you be open to unknown possibilities throughout the day. Maybe it's not anything heavy. These are all valid and in all of these cases in any case this question is a beautiful canvas to start crafting your day. It's a chance to Envision a life that is more than just going through the motions and getting through the day's tasks. It's a lifestyle where you find meaning around every corner. It's a reality that mirrors back how you feel inside, which if you haven't noticed yet Welcome To Earth School. Your reality is a mirror of how you feel inside. But asking this question is fully stepping into this vibrational world as a responsible part of the bigger picture. Okay, a lot of you want to know how you can affect change on a large scale, you know the answer. Take care of your own shit. Take a look inside ask yourself. How can I get more naked today? Maybe it's adding more tolerance to what you already have. With this divided world that we are living in. Maybe that's your radical way of getting more naked and I don't care if you think you're on the right side of things or not. I don't care if you think you're a humanitarian of the year. Maybe getting more naked is stepping down off of this pedestal of you know, I'm doing the best I can in the world and everyone who is not zero waste can just you know, go somewhere because they obviously don't have a heart. I see a lot of those sentiments flying around so sorry if I just gave you a gut check maybe that's how you are going to affect. The biggest change is by taking a look inside and saying, how can I get more naked today? Like I said, the answers will be clear and evident and it's up to you to hear them really hear them. So I like to think of this question as the equivalent to Michael Jackson song Man in the Mirror. Okay. It's a whole vibe. So ask yourself this question for an entire week. For an entire week long. How can I get more naked today? That is going to be the way you contribute to the change you want to see in the world? You'll see your relationships shift. You'll see your work environment improve. And maybe you'll notice that you stop hiding from the magic of who you truly are inside. That is my greatest wish because when we get naked we get true we get true to our core selves, but it's not easy, honestly. Cuz like I said, some of these answers are going to blow your mind of what you think is possible and what you would like to still hide from. It's not easy to tell someone what we truly desire. That is very vulnerable. It's not easy to allow someone to fully explain how you hurt them while you sit in silence and do not defend yourself. Those things are hard. It's not easy to come out. To switch your entire life track. to break up with someone to admit even if it's just to yourself that your marriage or a Business Partnership is failing. To allow your kids the freedom to make their own mistakes. Wow, that takes so much courage. It's not easy to get more naked than we already feel in this world. But it's worth it. So ask yourself, how can I get more naked today? Those are the three life-changing questions that I have for you today folks.
