WHAT’S THE EPISODE ABOUT…
Hello and welcome back to The Unleash Podcast. I’m your host, Kristina Sjolund, and I am so excited to have you here with me today.
We’re going to talk about the real, real… It’s about to get real up in here, right?
If my kids listen to this, they’re going to be like, Oh my God, Mom. Are you kidding me right now? Nope, I’m not… We’re talking about Deal with the REAL… Sometimes it’s hard for people to have faith or hope when they’re really overwhelmed with circumstances, especially right now, people are very emotionally charged, there’s so much crazy going on.
It’s hard to keep up with. I know that for myself, I have to very much emotionally remove myself so that I don’t absorb what is going on around me. I have to become an observer. I can deal with things. I can stand up for things. I can support people like in support causes. But if I get too wrapped up in it and get emotionally charged in it, it can really suck me dry, and I feel that that’s going on a lot with many people. So many people focus on the negative things that it makes it really easy to lose hope. And when you’ve got outside circumstances as well as your inner circumstances in your life… It makes it a little bit more difficult, right? So we really have to focus on what is directly affecting us and how to deal with it so that we don’t get overwhelmed.
I’ve said many times before, what you focus on grows. This goes for fear, and it also goes for faith. It grows according to your words. If you speak out of fear, well, you’re going to become more fearful, you’re going to attract more negative circumstances, and even more so, you won’t even be open to be able to see the blessings that you have in your life. When you start focusing on the blessings, you naturally start attracting more positive things, more positive feelings, more positive thoughts.

SHOW NOTES:
• We talk about at least three things that we were grateful for that happened in that day, so that we can focus on. Even though there’s chaos in the world around us, we can find three things that happened today, and it doesn’t matter what it is, maybe they had fun playing with the dog and the dog made them laugh, or whatever it may be, we focus on three happy things that happened that day. And to end our day, we pray about the things that we’re grateful for every single night. (05:03)
• Some people think that fear is like an effective motivator, but it doesn’t motivate anyone, it doesn’t motivate anyone to grow spiritually or otherwise, it really just captivates you. And for a lot of people, it puts a strangle hold on you, it creates mental and emotional chains, like it grabs a hold of you and it does not let go. (06:21)
• With faith comes power, and with fear comes paralysis. When you have faith in something, when you have a positive feeling about something, do you know how energized and exhilarated you feel? That’s because you’ve got faith. (7:20)
• We have to flush out darkness with light. The only way to do that is to focus on the light, the light is your blessings. The light is your positivity, the light is all of the amazing things that you have in your life, the light is your faith. If you’re a spiritual person, if you’re a faith based person, the light is your belief in God, your light is your belief in a higher power, that light is going to flush out any darkness and any fear that you have. So that is the only way that you’re gonna do that is to focus on the light. Put your blessings and your positive thoughts in the spotlight, the easiest and fastest way to keep your focus on what is right and your gratitude, is to be journaling. (11:14)
• If you do that daily for 90 days, see how your life and your outlook changes. 90 days, even 30 is going to make a difference. So, the ‘I Choose Joy’ journal that I use, it’s a 90-day journal, and every 30 days there’s a kind of a review of it for you to look back and see where you came from. Do it for 90 days. (12:06)
