Sheryll Mizell:

Welcome again to another episode of Wake Up to Your Wow, where we're diving deep into the Art of Letting Go. It's time to say goodbye to your BS, and hello to Bliss, and showing myself your guide your host and today, I want to take you on a journey to unlock your fullest potential. So you can live a life filled with abundance and joy.



Sheryll Mizell:

Well, let's start by asking ourselves, what are we tolerating in our lives that no longer serves us? When we confront what we're tolerating awareness demands that we examine what we're putting up with, you know, those things that hinder our progress and keep us from living authentically. It's so easy to overlook the daily compromises we make. But each tolerant adds weight to our journey toward personal fulfillment. Now to truly embrace our Wow, we must confront these tolerations head on and reclaim our power to intentionally shape our lives.



Sheryll Mizell:

Moreover, recognizing and addressing what we put up with involves a journey of self reflection and honesty. It's about looking beyond the initial annoyances, and understanding why we allow certain things to persist. When we acknowledge these accommodations, we open ourselves to the possibility of significant transformation. It's not just about eliminating nuisances. It's about honoring our core values, and creating space for experiences that truly resonate with who we are. This process is crucial, because it encourages us to live authentically aligning our actions with our true selves and paving the way for a more fulfilling life.



Sheryll Mizell:

Now, I know you may be thinking, like taking this proactive stance, how can we ensure that we're fostering environments that promote accountability and personal growth? Well, first things, let's stop putting up with people who won't on their actions. Instead of pointing fingers or making excuses. Real empowerment starts when we take responsibility and aim for positive outcomes. Whether it's in personal relationships, or at work, letting others dodge responsibility undermines our sense of fairness. true empowerment kicks in when we set clear boundaries, and hold people accountable for what they do. This not only keeps us true to our values, but also opens doors for respect and grow.



Sheryll Mizell:

What's more, standing up for our boundaries is about looking after ourselves, and showing we deserve better. It means saying no to anything that chips away at our self worth what threatens our well being. When we insist on accountability and how we deal with others. We build relationships based on trust and honesty. This shift not only boosts our own happiness, but also creates spaces where everyone feels respected and motivated to make positive contributions. Now considering this commitment, we get to eliminate draining behaviors, right? We get to cut off behaviors that suck our energy and chip away at our self worth. toxic relationships, where manipulation or emotional abuse are the norm. Gradually wear down our confidence and zest for life. Once we spot these draining patterns, we empower ourselves to put our well being first and build healthier connections. Every step we take away from negativity reinforces our dedication to stay true to who we are and respecting ourselves. Plus, shaking up these draining behaviors means we're setting clear boundaries, and making self care a habit. It's about listening to our emotions, and knowing when a relationship or a situation isn't lifting us up anymore. Where we ask for positive, supportive interactions. We create room to flourish personally and find fulfilment. Letting go of what drains us isn't just a one of choice now. It's a daily commitment to nurturing our mental and emotional well being.



Sheryll Mizell:

Now as we acknowledge and address these internal barriers that we've been tolerating for so long, let's not forget the BS we sometimes tolerate from ourselves, right? Those limiting beliefs self doubt, procrastination, self sabotage. These internal barriers hold immense power over our actions and dreams, shaping our perception of what is possible. So to overcome self imposed limitations, we must first acknowledge the existence with compassion and curiosity. do introspection is self awareness, we can challenge these beliefs and replace them with affirmations of self love and acceptance. Not all work releasing ourselves from the self imposed nonsense, right involves nurturing a mindset of resilience and growth. It's about embracing discomfort as an opportunity for learning and personal development. By adopting a growth oriented perspective, we empower ourselves to take proactive steps towards our goals. Despite the fear or uncertainty. This journey of self discovery isn't about achieving perfection. It's about recognizing our inherent worth and embracing the process of becoming our best selves. says we cultivate resilience and growth by releasing this tolerations we free ourselves from self imposed limitations and embrace liberation. It's so liberating to let go of the past, you know those mistakes, regrets and outdated beliefs that no longer serve our highest good, more overt releasing the people who are demo and light allows us to cultivate relationships that uplift and inspire us where mutual respect and encouragement thrive. Now, letting go isn't about resignation. It's a profound act of self awareness, acceptance and courage. It's about shedding the burdens that weigh us down. You know, those emotional baggage from past hurts fears of the future and attachments to outcomes beyond our control. Whether it's a long held grudge, fear, failure, or a relationship that no longer nurtures our growth, these burdens hidden our ability to seize new opportunities and embrace the present. I know you may be wondering, how can we seize new opportunities for letting go?



Sheryll Mizell:

Well, let's break this down into four practical steps that can help us embrace this transformation. Well, the first is self reflection and acceptance. Take a moment to reflect what the asset you've been tolerating. It's time to clear out the clutter of excuses and let your brilliant shine. self reflection is like shining a light into the corners of our minds and hearts where emotions and beliefs lurk in the shadows. It's about being honest with ourselves, acknowledging what's holding us back without judgment. So take a moment today to sit quietly with yourself. Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and ask what emotions or beliefs am I carrying? that no longer serve me? What emotions or beliefs am I carrying? that no longer serve me. Now allow whatever comes up to surface without pushing it away. It's okay to feel these emotions. They are part of our human experience. Acceptance is key. embrace these fields with compassion. No one they shape our journey, but don't define our future. By accepting though, we release the grip on us and open space for new empowering beliefs to take route.



Sheryll Mizell:

The next step is forgiveness. Now forgiveness is often misunderstood is not just about letting go about condoning actions or pretending hurt did not happen. It's about freeing ourselves from the emotional chains that binds us to the past. We get to trade in our doubt for determination so we can watch our dreams take flight. Now one way to do this is to write yourself a forgiveness letter, whether to yourself or someone else who has caused you pain. Express your feelings openly and honestly. Allow yourself to release any lingering resentment or anger. This act isn't about forgetting what happened. It's about reclaiming our power and choosing peace over pain. healing begins when forgiveness is embraced. It's a journey of self liberation where wounds start to heal and our hearts become lighter. Remember, forgiving doesn't mean we have to reconcile or forget. But it does mean that we're no longer allowing the past hurt to dictate our present happiness.



Sheryll Mizell:

Next step is decluttering your life just like decluttering your closet clearing out your life means kicking those limiting beliefs to the curb. And strutting confidently into your future. decluttering is crucial for mental clarity and emotional well being. And we get to make room for new things. But first, let's tackle your physical environment. Stop a decluttering your home or your work area, especially now since the pandemic. How much stuff have we accumulated? So we got to take a moment to assess each item and ask ourselves, does this bring me joy, or serve a purpose in my life at this moment, if not, it may be time to part ways with it. Clearing out unnecessary items can transform your space into a more organized and inviting place that when you create an orderly environment, it's like giving yourself a breath of fresh air. It brings a sense of calmness and openness that allows you to focus better and feel more at ease. By simplifying your surroundings. You create space, not just physically, but mentally too. So let's dive in and declutter making room for what truly matters is setting the stage for law harmonious day to day life.



Sheryll Mizell:

Now, I don't know most of you are going to like this one, but we get to tackle the digital decluttering. And if you're anything like me, you've accumulated so many emails over the years and eaten in the past week, right? No, I did. But have a blast with it. Make it fun. Do whatever you need to do. Just start deleting old emails, unsubscribe from newsletters that no longer interests you and organize your digital files. Clearing digital clutter, reduces overwhelm and allows you to focus on what truly matters. Now remember, decluttering goes beyond just hiding up physical things, is a game changer for our mental space and energy to where we simplify our surroundings will open the door to clarity and creativity in our lives. It's like clearing out all those cobwebs from our minds, allowing fresh ideas and opportunities to flow in naturally. decluttering isn't just a chore. Tell yourself that again. decluttering isn't just a chore, you is a powerful way to create a more inspiring and productive environment for ourselves. So let's roll up our sleeves and clear the way for new possibilities.



Sheryll Mizell:

And the next step, which I love is cultivating gratitude. Now these new opportunities arise from being grateful. Gratitude is a superpower. It shifts our perspective from scarcity to abundance. Gratitude isn't just about counting blessings. It's about dumping the drama embracing the comma. I like that sounds gonna say it again. With dumping the drama and embracing the karma. Positive vibes only. Start a gratitude journal as a daily practice. Each day, jot down three things you're thankful for. They can be as simple as a hot cup of coffee in the morning, a smile from someone you don't know, or a moment of peace amidst all the chaos, to get to be flipped on moments of joy, achievements and even the challenges that have helped us grow. Gratitude isn't just about being thankful for all the good things. It's about finding the silver linings in each situation, even the tough ones were added to opens our hearts to receive more goodness and positivity. Every mind is up the richness of our lives and shifts our focus away from what's lacking towards what's really abundant. When we cultivate a grateful mindset, we attract more reasons to be grateful. It's a beautiful cycle. But sometimes to cultivate that grateful mindset, we may have to undergo a mindset overall.



Sheryll Mizell:

A transformation that begins with letting go of your BS, you know your belief systems and embracing your Wow. Which is your true potential and uniqueness. Letting Go isn't just about releasing the past. It's about embracing a mindset that welcomes new possibilities. This shift involves challenging limiting beliefs and cultivating optimism and resilience to embrace your well. So here are a few tips to help you discover the power of a mindset shift.



Sheryll Mizell:

The first is awareness and reflection. It starts with awareness and reflection. First, become aware of your current beliefs and thought patterns that may be holding you back. Take some time for self reflection. Ask yourself questions like, What beliefs do I hold about myself my abilities or my potential, either any recurring negative thoughts that contribute to feelings of doubt or fear? How have these beliefs influenced my actions and decisions in the past? Now, once you identify your limiting beliefs, likes them? Yes, challenge them. This involves questioning the validity of these beliefs, and examining whether they're based on facts or assumptions. But for example, if you believe I'm not good enough to challenge his belief by asking yourself for evidence to support it, look for counter examples where you have succeeded or overcome challenges in the past. Consider alternative perspective that might be more empowering, such as I am capable of learning and growing from every experience. Now after you challenge your limiting beliefs, you want to reframe them into more empowering statements. Replace negative self talk with affirmations that align with your goals and aspirations. For example, instead of I always fail at new challenges refrain to, I see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. We place that smile enough for this promotion with I am continually developing my skills and knowledge to advance in my career.



Sheryll Mizell:

And finally, you want to embrace a mindset of optimism and resilience. Focus on all the possibilities rather than the limitations and view setbacks as temporary challenges rather than permanent barriers. So we get to practice gratitude daily to shift our focus to what is going well in our life. Visualize your goals, and imagine yourself achieving them with confidence and ease.
