00:00:11.730 –> 00:00:18.780
Jason Mefford: Now I know you might be listening sitting to this and thinking hey Jason i’m not burned out why are you talking about this well.
3
00:00:19.380 –> 00:00:27.270
Jason Mefford: Whether you realize it or not, you might actually be more stressed out than you realize, because a lot of studies say that about 80% of people.
4
00:00:27.870 –> 00:00:49.470
Jason Mefford: Are stressed out and you might be just one bad conversation or one bad day away from getting pushed into burnout and so i’m excited today to have Angela Noel with me and we’re going to talk about how you can go from burnout to on fire so let’s roll that episode.
5
00:00:51.870 –> 00:01:00.090
Jason Mefford: All right, Angela welcome today, I know I always like to do this at the beginning, people can see that are on the video but it’s like I love to read my my hands together like.
6
00:01:01.290 –> 00:01:02.640
Angela Noelle: Oh, I love it I love it.
7
00:01:04.170 –> 00:01:08.550
Angela Noelle: In Chinese medicine, we say that’s like activating the Chi when you rub your hands together.
8
00:01:08.850 –> 00:01:15.810
Jason Mefford: So it was it’s like that reminds me like the old karate kid you know when Mr miyagi did that and then he, like rubbing his hands together and put it on yeah.
9
00:01:15.930 –> 00:01:17.310
Yes, yeah stuff.
10
00:01:19.050 –> 00:01:24.540
Jason Mefford: Well we’re going to talk about a little bit of healing kind of to, I guess, in a way today right because.
11
00:01:25.650 –> 00:01:36.210
Jason Mefford: i’m excited to have you on because you know you, you have this fire program right and you’re kind of helping people that have gone through burnout so so maybe you know again just.
12
00:01:37.020 –> 00:01:47.940
Jason Mefford: give a brief intro on kind of how how you help people because i’ve got lots of questions because, like I said a lot of people are way more stressed out than they realize.
13
00:01:48.240 –> 00:01:51.600
Jason Mefford: And I think there’s some simple things we can do so, we don’t end up.
14
00:01:52.110 –> 00:01:54.300
Jason Mefford: You know, going down in flames.
15
00:01:55.110 –> 00:01:56.370
Jason Mefford: Instead of getting on fire.
16
00:01:57.090 –> 00:01:57.750
Yes.
17
00:01:58.920 –> 00:02:12.030
Angela Noelle: Oh, my gosh yeah so a lot like you said Jason I think burnout is one of those things, a lot of people don’t realize that they are in, and they might have negative connotations, maybe they heard about somebody that was in burnout from a previous experience.
18
00:02:12.360 –> 00:02:31.260
Angela Noelle: And what most people don’t realize is that any form of stress is ultimately often going to lead to burnout and it can show up in the the mind, it can show up in the body, and it can show up in the spirit, so I am here to help.
19
00:02:32.430 –> 00:02:35.910
Angela Noelle: The driven business owner entrepreneur.
20
00:02:37.020 –> 00:02:46.290
Angela Noelle: Just end burnout so that they can have everything that they want in their life they want, they have the fight so fire is an acronym for financial abundance in our peace radiant health.
21
00:02:46.770 –> 00:02:56.460
Angela Noelle: and energy alignment, so that they can have more fun and freedom in their life and joy and happiness because let’s face it that’s what most people want don’t they.
22
00:02:57.510 –> 00:03:07.020
Jason Mefford: Well fun and freedom Those are two of my highest values, so I love I love that you actually brought those up, I actually my the company values are all Apps to I just like F words.
23
00:03:10.290 –> 00:03:10.920
Jason Mefford: Right okay.
24
00:03:12.930 –> 00:03:15.390
Jason Mefford: yeah for those that have been listening for a while right, you know.
25
00:03:16.170 –> 00:03:22.380
Jason Mefford: But, but I wanted to you know me because I want to jump in and talk about the fire acronym because I think it’s.
26
00:03:22.950 –> 00:03:35.580
Jason Mefford: it’s brilliant to and kind of just the basics, I understand, about it because I think what you’re doing are some pieces people normally don’t think about right and so.
27
00:03:36.000 –> 00:03:46.290
Jason Mefford: But I, but I wanted to before we kind of jump into that I wanted to kind of talk about maybe some warning signs and what this means is because, again, as I, as I said at the beginning, right.
28
00:03:46.860 –> 00:03:58.530
Jason Mefford: And you even just kind of said here, a lot of people are probably like well I i’m not in burnout that’s what other people do right i’m a strong person I would never get burned out right.
29
00:03:59.130 –> 00:04:08.280
Jason Mefford: But i’m thinking there’s probably some warning signs right to know if you’re getting closer right are there, certain warning signs that you typically see.
30
00:04:08.940 –> 00:04:15.750
Angela Noelle: yeah you know, especially for the over Doers and the overachievers of the world who feel like they’re checking all the boxes right they.
31
00:04:16.680 –> 00:04:22.530
Angela Noelle: i’m doing all my workouts and you know i’m doing really well at that and i’m going and i’m.
32
00:04:23.010 –> 00:04:31.650
Angela Noelle: Eating my salads every day and i’m doing all the right things like often box checkers I would say, are the I mean burnout I think is a.
33
00:04:32.010 –> 00:04:40.260
Angela Noelle: You know, is everywhere, but for the more subtle the people that are experiencing burnout and it’s more subtle and they don’t believe that they’re him or not, I would say it’s that.
34
00:04:40.680 –> 00:04:48.900
Angela Noelle: group of people, because they feel like they’re doing everything right and like kind of that perfectionist persona right.
35
00:04:49.320 –> 00:04:55.050
Angela Noelle: When what they’re actually doing is they are living their lives by a checklist.
36
00:04:55.470 –> 00:05:11.370
Angela Noelle: and not necessarily living in alignment to who they truly are basically what i’m saying is they’re living their lives, according to what they think they should be doing according to somebody else’s standards and not what truly makes them happy.
37
00:05:12.840 –> 00:05:17.970
Jason Mefford: And so i’m guessing those people to that are kind of the overdose is the box textures that perfectionist right.
38
00:05:18.360 –> 00:05:25.710
Jason Mefford: they’re going along thinking that everything is running on all cylinders right there they’re probably the ones that hit the wall harder.
39
00:05:26.250 –> 00:05:32.460
Jason Mefford: than other people, because it really creeps up onto them and they don’t realize how tired they actually are because that’s why.
40
00:05:32.760 –> 00:05:39.270
Jason Mefford: You know, thinking about it’s like okay people that are listening right well i’m not in burnout well do you wake up tired in the morning.
41
00:05:39.750 –> 00:05:48.060
Jason Mefford: Are you tired of all during the day right do you feel like you don’t have enough energy, you know all of these things that I think most people would say well.
42
00:05:48.570 –> 00:05:58.620
Jason Mefford: yeah I am kind of tired right and i’m and it’s not just like I didn’t get a good night’s sleep one night I haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep in a month or two months.
43
00:05:58.710 –> 00:05:59.670
Jason Mefford: or a year.
44
00:05:59.880 –> 00:06:06.270
Jason Mefford: right that those are probably again some of the things that can be creeping up on people and they don’t even realize it.
45
00:06:06.660 –> 00:06:18.120
Angela Noelle: And they don’t realize it because you know what we’re you know we live in a society where it’s just we’re expected to just do certain things and overdue and we don’t really even know most people don’t even realize that.
46
00:06:18.480 –> 00:06:30.360
Angela Noelle: There are options you don’t have to live that way and for people that are chronically tired we’ll just talk about that because that’s a you know, an epidemic, in my opinion is that so many people.
47
00:06:31.020 –> 00:06:50.910
Angela Noelle: are tired and when I had my acupuncture practice, these are the people that you know they thought okay well i’m tired that’s just the way that it is like everybody’s tired and then they come to the acupuncture clinic and they’re like you know what like I have this like random thing.
48
00:06:50.940 –> 00:06:53.370
Angela Noelle: You know that just popped up in my life this.
49
00:06:53.670 –> 00:07:00.510
Angela Noelle: You know, I was walking on the sidewalk and all of a sudden, you know my knee went out.
50
00:07:01.080 –> 00:07:09.240
Angela Noelle: You know so it’s like those they’re like I wasn’t really even doing anything and I hurt myself, and it could be, because they’re tired they weren’t paying attention.
51
00:07:09.510 –> 00:07:17.760
Angela Noelle: Or maybe they’re out of you know they didn’t stretch or they’re not taking care of their body, the way that their body wants to be taken care of so.
52
00:07:19.020 –> 00:07:22.770
Angela Noelle: there’s so many ways that burnout happens, but.
53
00:07:24.570 –> 00:07:30.660
Angela Noelle: For those that are I mean just talking from the standpoint of being tired, I think that.
54
00:07:31.470 –> 00:07:39.420
Angela Noelle: Most people are tired if you’re somebody that like you said you wake up tired, you need to drink coffee throughout the day just to get through your workday.
55
00:07:39.930 –> 00:07:58.770
Angela Noelle: And if you stop this is another thing that I hear often from my women clients if I sit down once during the day for more than 30 seconds I will fall asleep that is so so common if you’re feeling that chances are you’re in burnout.
56
00:07:59.550 –> 00:08:06.900
Jason Mefford: yeah well and it’s and we’re not talking about, because there is a thing called adrenal fatigue right which is your adrenal.
57
00:08:07.920 –> 00:08:09.450
Angela Noelle: fatigue adrenal fatigue out.
58
00:08:09.450 –> 00:08:13.800
Jason Mefford: renal fatigue, which is, which is really I mean that’s like to another level.
59
00:08:13.980 –> 00:08:20.520
Jason Mefford: Right at that point but but it’s it’s this this whole idea that again and it’s let me.
60
00:08:22.290 –> 00:08:26.730
Jason Mefford: Let me go back and say it this way is it okay to have burnout.
61
00:08:27.930 –> 00:08:36.300
Jason Mefford: Is it Okay, if I feel like i’m burning out if I feel like i’m tired all the time, is it okay for me to admit that.
62
00:08:37.230 –> 00:08:40.050
Angela Noelle: Is it okay to admit that that I actually have it.
63
00:08:41.340 –> 00:08:51.060
Angela Noelle: um well I think most people feel that by admitting that you have burnout or admitting just that you’re tired and you need to just you know take it down a few notches.
64
00:08:51.420 –> 00:08:59.640
Angela Noelle: That that must mean that you’re not good enough, you know you’re not a good enough parent you’re not a good enough business owner and you’re not a good enough.
65
00:09:00.540 –> 00:09:11.220
Angela Noelle: wife husband partner daughter son, and you know that I think that just comes from you know years and years of living in a culture where.
66
00:09:11.550 –> 00:09:21.450
Angela Noelle: As we were discussing earlier Jason just being in a masculine ised culture where overwork Overdoing all that is in productivity.
67
00:09:22.080 –> 00:09:36.450
Angela Noelle: is valued and to actually say hey you know I need to take a break, then there’s often this feeling like i’m letting somebody down and then we’re going into people pleasing and all the other things that come from there, so.
68
00:09:38.250 –> 00:09:39.120
Angela Noelle: The thing is.
69
00:09:40.620 –> 00:09:55.950
Angela Noelle: Our normal state is to be thriving is to be healthy, is to be happy to feel good and most people don’t think that’s even possible because it’s not something that’s like been infused into our culture.
70
00:09:56.880 –> 00:10:07.050
Angela Noelle: We just think this is the norm and by us saying that were burned out, we must not be, we must not be normal there’s something wrong with us.
71
00:10:07.890 –> 00:10:14.940
Jason Mefford: Because that’s what that’s where I was kind of trying to go with this, because I feel like it’s it’s in this way, but also so many.
72
00:10:15.660 –> 00:10:27.930
Jason Mefford: Other parts of our life is that we feel like we can’t admit if any of these things are happening because you know it must mean that there’s something wrong with me.
73
00:10:28.830 –> 00:10:39.210
Jason Mefford: When there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you look around you if 10 people around you seven or eight of them are feeling exactly the same way, you are.
74
00:10:39.990 –> 00:10:48.090
Jason Mefford: But they’re just afraid to admit it, just like you’re afraid to admit it right, I mean that’s that’s why again, especially here in the US, we have a mental.
75
00:10:48.870 –> 00:10:58.080
Jason Mefford: health crisis but nobody’s talking about it right and and burnout and some of these other things, all kind of go with that and.
76
00:10:58.710 –> 00:11:14.430
Jason Mefford: You know i’m guessing to like the clients that you work with right just saying it or admitting it to yourself and realizing it’s okay has to release a lot of the tension that goes along with it.
77
00:11:14.640 –> 00:11:28.470
Angela Noelle: Right yeah yeah absolutely just by saying it out loud or telling a confidant I mean you know that’s why we, you know we find refuge and talking to each other right that’s why.
78
00:11:29.220 –> 00:11:41.910
Angela Noelle: Kobe was such a was so hard for so many people is that lack of connection when we can connect with other people and tell them how we are truly feeling that is a huge weight off our shoulders and.
79
00:11:43.140 –> 00:11:47.610
Angela Noelle: I you know going to what you were saying about, we have a mental health problem.
80
00:11:48.240 –> 00:12:00.750
Angela Noelle: yeah if you’re if you know what we often believe we need to do as a culture is if we’re feeling say we’re feeling we were getting migraines as a result of button burnout because that’s often a sign of burnout right or back pain.
81
00:12:01.380 –> 00:12:13.440
Angela Noelle: A lot of people tend to go right to their their medical doctor which i’m all for Western medicine emergency medicine, we need that but oftentimes doctors will just say something like well.
82
00:12:14.100 –> 00:12:22.170
Angela Noelle: you’re stressed like and they’ll they’ll work within their scope of practice and how they were trading nothing against them.
83
00:12:22.710 –> 00:12:30.690
Angela Noelle: And they’ll either prescribe something or they’ll say, well, this is just something you know if you develop a condition from this stress.
84
00:12:31.050 –> 00:12:37.080
Angela Noelle: high blood pressure, heart disease Well, this is just something that you have to deal with, for the rest of your life.
85
00:12:37.650 –> 00:12:45.480
Angela Noelle: And this is what i’m going to prescribe to I think doctors are getting a little bit better about that, but that’s been the standard for.
86
00:12:46.110 –> 00:12:58.800
Angela Noelle: Care so really burned out people are not getting the attention that they actually need when they actually need it, which is before it actually becomes a big problem.
87
00:13:00.030 –> 00:13:02.280
Jason Mefford: Well, and it’s not you know again it’s not.
88
00:13:03.450 –> 00:13:16.350
Jason Mefford: That you’re weak he it’s just you know, sometimes again it’s just like a battery and any electronic device right if you run it long enough without recharging it.
89
00:13:17.100 –> 00:13:23.460
Jason Mefford: Eventually it’s going to run out right and and again a lot of times that frenetic nature that we tend to be and as.
90
00:13:23.910 –> 00:13:29.820
Jason Mefford: You know, over performing Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo I got to be the best mother in the world, the best Father in the world, you know.
91
00:13:30.360 –> 00:13:40.380
Jason Mefford: Whatever it happens to be that we tend to overextend ourselves really to you know have us kind of crash and burn a little bit right which is.
92
00:13:40.740 –> 00:13:50.730
Jason Mefford: Which is what you’re helping people with, and so you know I know you know you work with a lot of female entrepreneurs, but what we’re going to talk about is really relevant for anybody.
93
00:13:50.970 –> 00:13:54.210
Jason Mefford: Right and that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to have you on here because.
94
00:13:54.900 –> 00:14:04.140
Jason Mefford: So so let’s talk a little bit about the fire process that you have kind of what each of these are because, like I said is you kind of told me what they were I was like.
95
00:14:04.800 –> 00:14:11.820
Jason Mefford: Most people don’t have that or haven’t thought about that thing so let’s let’s go through and kind of talk about each one of them and.
96
00:14:12.210 –> 00:14:13.560
Jason Mefford: yeah what it what it.
97
00:14:13.680 –> 00:14:19.320
Jason Mefford: You know how you help people to get away from the burnout and instead be on fire yeah.
98
00:14:19.830 –> 00:14:23.310
Angela Noelle: I said it burned out from from the fire actually.
99
00:14:23.340 –> 00:14:32.400
Jason Mefford: you’re on fire, the fire, you are, that you are the actual fire and I want everybody listening to know that it is possible for each and every one.
100
00:14:32.760 –> 00:14:43.650
Angela Noelle: Of you out there who you’re if you’re going through a hard time that it is possible to be on fire, and it is possible to thrive, so my unique method is called reclaim your fire.
101
00:14:44.040 –> 00:14:54.090
Angela Noelle: it’s also the name of my podcast and what I do is so I meant my training is originally in Chinese medicine, I had a practice in Boston for.
102
00:14:54.600 –> 00:15:12.270
Angela Noelle: 1211 years and I closed it just last year in 2020 so what the idea is that our most important asset is our health, our physical body, so I work with clients oftentimes they reach out to me when they’re having.
103
00:15:12.870 –> 00:15:21.690
Angela Noelle: A physical condition manifest from burnout stress not having boundaries, you know it goes on there’s so many ways that burnout happens.
104
00:15:22.080 –> 00:15:31.620
Angela Noelle: And so we work really closely on getting their health in check by forming that foundation, so the are and fire is radiant health.
105
00:15:32.490 –> 00:15:44.940
Angela Noelle: So when you think about a radiantly healthy person, you know they glow right they have they’re feeling on top of the world they’re waking up like you said they’re feeling not tired they’re feeling energetic.
106
00:15:45.720 –> 00:15:50.610
Jason Mefford: And like I got another day above ground i’m so excited i’m happy to be alive right.
107
00:15:50.880 –> 00:15:59.010
Angela Noelle: Yes, they’re grateful I work with gratitude a lot because really it’s about raising our vibration right and.
108
00:16:00.180 –> 00:16:14.130
Angela Noelle: and implementing habits that will support these things, so the next way is so I stands for inner peace, and I know i’m jumping around not going in order but.
109
00:16:14.940 –> 00:16:22.950
Angela Noelle: I is inner peace so once we kind of you know we’re always working on the foundation of getting the body physical body in check.
110
00:16:23.430 –> 00:16:33.360
Angela Noelle: And then i’m bringing in the other aspects of the fire so inner peace like what is it that you need to do, or who do you need to be to have inner peace.
111
00:16:33.750 –> 00:16:43.200
Angela Noelle: And it may just be a matter of looking at your to do list or looking at your day to day life and seeing what is in there.
112
00:16:43.770 –> 00:16:51.210
Angela Noelle: That is not aligning with inner peace, and it could be just something really simple like Oh, you know and so so and so text me.
113
00:16:51.750 –> 00:17:05.610
Angela Noelle: I don’t need to respond to them right away, I can maybe respond to them later or over the weekend or at a time that’s convenient for you, so what whatever habits are involved, I talk about habits, a lot to bring in inner peace.
114
00:17:06.990 –> 00:17:18.390
Angela Noelle: And then, for the essence fires financial freedom or financial abundance, because most people you know, money is an interesting thing and i’ve been through this myself where.
115
00:17:19.590 –> 00:17:26.910
Angela Noelle: Most people don’t talk about money or it’s shameful to talk about money or it’s embarrassing or you don’t talk about how much you make it’s how I grew up.
116
00:17:27.660 –> 00:17:40.830
Angela Noelle: But really money is just energy and money is a reflection of who we are and that’s all it is so if you’re listening to this and you’re not in the financial situation or place that you want to be.
117
00:17:41.250 –> 00:17:48.990
Angela Noelle: This is an invitation to really look at where, am I in my health where, am I in my inner peace and, finally, with.
118
00:17:50.070 –> 00:18:02.700
Angela Noelle: He is energy alignment and energy is so so so so important, and I don’t mean to brush over the money piece, but bringing it all together in the fire is when.
119
00:18:03.240 –> 00:18:15.300
Angela Noelle: The energy alignment is about tapping into you know what works best for my energy not you know, yes, energy, how we think of it we all want more energy.
120
00:18:15.780 –> 00:18:32.370
Angela Noelle: Most of us don’t feel like they have we have enough energy, but also what works best for my individual energy system and I talk in that category, about the balance of yin and Yang and.
121
00:18:33.420 –> 00:18:37.050
Angela Noelle: Also, the divine masculine and feminine energies.
122
00:18:38.100 –> 00:18:50.670
Angela Noelle: Which are you know energy in its purest form, we need to have a balance in Chinese medicine, we talked about this, you know, and you know the the black and white tae JI symbol.
123
00:18:51.240 –> 00:19:00.600
Angela Noelle: That represents again and young and the balance in the entire universe right and we’re just microcosms of the entire universe.
124
00:19:01.770 –> 00:19:09.300
Angela Noelle: So when we’re not in balance, you know whether we’re too much in the masculine or which is Overdoing.
125
00:19:10.320 –> 00:19:18.930
Angela Noelle: Over committing people pleasing doing all the things of being in a very busy culture, then we’re going to start to notice our feminine.
126
00:19:19.410 –> 00:19:27.600
Angela Noelle: become more and more wounded right our intuition gets cut off for women who are cycling, maybe your period starts to.
127
00:19:28.200 –> 00:19:36.270
Angela Noelle: You start noticing imbalances, or you develop endometriosis or infertility I dealt with that so much in my acupuncture practice so.
128
00:19:37.050 –> 00:19:47.940
Angela Noelle: it’s a very holistic approach to working with clients where it’s not just about the physical body, because that’s why I left clinical work.
129
00:19:48.450 –> 00:20:03.090
Angela Noelle: Was I just felt like it was only working with people’s physical health and it’s not just about physical health, because if we don’t have the other pieces of the fire, then we don’t really have physical health or.
130
00:20:04.140 –> 00:20:09.150
Angela Noelle: Those physical conditions are going to keep coming back, which is what I saw all the time in the practice.
131
00:20:09.450 –> 00:20:15.870
Jason Mefford: yeah cuz you’re just you’re just ban dating the symptom instead of actually getting rid of the root cause right.
132
00:20:16.950 –> 00:20:26.430
Jason Mefford: yeah well and what I want to kind of do than to is is just because again for some people listening, some of these concepts might be like holy crap i’ve never heard of that before well let’s just.
133
00:20:27.210 –> 00:20:36.120
Jason Mefford: Bear with this right let’s let’s talk a little bit about this, because I think sometimes there’s some some misconceptions as well right and so.
134
00:20:36.660 –> 00:20:55.320
Jason Mefford: You know the yin and Yang masculine feminine that is not male female right okay it’s it’s like you kind of talked about the masculine energy is more the doing the overthinking the you know that kind of stuff where the the feminine How would you describe that I guess different.
135
00:20:55.740 –> 00:21:08.640
Angela Noelle: yeah so um so for the masculine I like to think of the sun, you know when i’m describing the sun and daylight and strong energy, you know people during the day are often like bustling around right.
136
00:21:09.030 –> 00:21:23.520
Angela Noelle: Whereas the feminine is more the moon it’s more inward it’s more nighttime it’s more quiet it’s the feminine energy is about getting in touch with your inner wisdom so going within.
137
00:21:24.060 –> 00:21:39.450
Angela Noelle: And tapping into your intuition and what most people don’t realize, is that you know because we’ve been living in this culture where like we were talking in a previous conversation Jason of what was the control and.
138
00:21:39.810 –> 00:21:40.620
Jason Mefford: command and control.
139
00:21:40.770 –> 00:21:43.740
Angela Noelle: command and control right we’re used to being.
140
00:21:43.860 –> 00:21:53.640
Angela Noelle: told what to do and how to think and how to live our lives we’re used to being taking in information from the external.
141
00:21:54.990 –> 00:22:05.340
Angela Noelle: to inform how we make decisions and what school we go to and and what book we’re going to read and who we marry, etc, etc, etc.
142
00:22:06.510 –> 00:22:16.320
Angela Noelle: But what most people don’t know is that all of that knowledge that aligns with who we truly are when we were born, we incarnated on this planet.
143
00:22:16.890 –> 00:22:30.480
Angela Noelle: that’s our truest nature, and I might be going a little out there, but what i’m saying is that we all have that knowledge to make the decisions that are going to make us happy.
144
00:22:31.590 –> 00:22:35.520
Angela Noelle: So that we’re not in constant burnout and fatigue because we’re always.
145
00:22:37.620 –> 00:22:41.850
Angela Noelle: doing what we feel other people or other organizations want from us.
146
00:22:42.960 –> 00:22:51.990
Jason Mefford: Once I really kind of from the energy alignment because I wanted to try to maybe give a couple of examples for people to maybe where this is kind of like new to them right and again it’s it’s.
147
00:22:52.440 –> 00:23:05.100
Jason Mefford: it’s about balance okay and anytime that we get out of balance things start not going our way right so again it has nothing to do with whether you’re male or female.
148
00:23:05.520 –> 00:23:17.910
Jason Mefford: Right, think about the balance in your life let’s say right, and so I love the example of art and science Okay, so if we if we take art and science, we could say.
149
00:23:18.450 –> 00:23:30.720
Jason Mefford: Well, science is kind of like the masculine energy right the numbers, the logic, the things like that right art is the beauty of the flowing the whatever right.
150
00:23:31.020 –> 00:23:31.950
Jason Mefford: Okay, so.
151
00:23:32.340 –> 00:23:44.910
Jason Mefford: So if we if we take this as an example, if i’m a if i’m a scientist, but all I do is science science science science science science science science science science right.
152
00:23:45.600 –> 00:24:00.660
Jason Mefford: i’m probably not going to be a very good scientists you got to have some art with the science Okay, in fact, I was just you know hearing today, and this is true, you you look at some of the greatest scientists of all time they were also great artists.
153
00:24:01.590 –> 00:24:05.790
Jason Mefford: Leonardo da Vinci, is one of those people even Albert Einstein.
154
00:24:06.300 –> 00:24:17.280
Jason Mefford: fabulous scientists, but the man played violin like nobody’s business right he he had that balance in his life that’s what we all need that’s some of the energy alignment right.
155
00:24:17.730 –> 00:24:21.750
Jason Mefford: Another one another simple one, even can be is like you said, where it’s.
156
00:24:22.290 –> 00:24:31.110
Jason Mefford: it’s what works for you right so some people, one of the people on my team he didn’t like to get up until 11 or 12 each day great.
157
00:24:31.770 –> 00:24:38.670
Jason Mefford: Right, so he works from like 12 until I don’t know whenever he kind of works throughout the day and goes to bed at like midnight or two in the morning.
158
00:24:39.570 –> 00:24:53.550
Jason Mefford: that’s what works for him right that balances his energy or his circadian rhythm right doesn’t work for me right at 10 1030 i’m a i’m a pumpkin i’m in bed.
159
00:24:54.390 –> 00:24:55.860
Jason Mefford: Even sometimes a 30.
160
00:24:57.810 –> 00:25:02.370
Jason Mefford: So that’s kind of what we’re talking about to from an energy perspective as well right to try to help.
161
00:25:03.270 –> 00:25:17.490
Jason Mefford: make some analogies for people that are like Well, this is the first time i’ve heard about it so it’s think about in your life, do you feel unbalanced in certain ways, maybe here’s an opportunity for you to rebalance some of that aren’t you.
162
00:25:18.240 –> 00:25:36.510
Angela Noelle: yeah yeah and I like how you explained it really simply it’s you know how are you this is an opportunity to really look at yourself and look at your life and and discover, you know how are you are, you really feeling like Jason how are you really feeling, how do you feel in your body.
163
00:25:38.070 –> 00:26:00.660
Angela Noelle: And, most people don’t really even know how to answer that question, most people don’t even know who they are, and it really just comes down, I think, like you said just keeping it super super stupid simple like not like you’re stupid, but like ridiculously simple, so that people can really.
164
00:26:02.400 –> 00:26:12.660
Angela Noelle: start to tune into this way of being because when you start to really connect with yourself and connect with how you’re feeling and know.
165
00:26:13.110 –> 00:26:24.240
Angela Noelle: me most people know wouldn’t you agree, like something doesn’t feel right right they go to the wall, they go to their job and it’s like oh like this doesn’t feel good you know, most people know.
166
00:26:25.680 –> 00:26:32.220
Angela Noelle: At least know when they feel good when they feel bad and then you just kind of build on that over time and.
167
00:26:33.000 –> 00:26:48.360
Angela Noelle: I think what I would like to impart is that it just you know, to give yourself grace and space to discover this about yourself it’s not something that’s going to happen, and you know, a two hour class like it’s a lifetime of exploration yeah.
168
00:26:49.740 –> 00:26:56.640
Jason Mefford: Well, I wanted to go back and talk a little bit about some of these other ones, because the financial the F is here’s one two right where.
169
00:26:57.090 –> 00:27:06.870
Jason Mefford: You know, and again it’s it’s it’s one of those where I can’t remember the numbers but it’s it’s too too big, of a number 70 or 80% of people in the US are living paycheck to paycheck.
170
00:27:07.170 –> 00:27:17.220
Jason Mefford: yeah and and we also know that you know, one of the biggest stressors in marriages, one of the biggest reasons for divorce is finance.
171
00:27:17.640 –> 00:27:27.090
Jason Mefford: Finances money, money, money, money right, and so you know I remember being taught very early by my by my parents and by other.
172
00:27:28.050 –> 00:27:40.440
Jason Mefford: kind of family mentors that I knew who were successful right and he is they, one of the guys I used to work for he said it doesn’t matter how much you make it matters, how much you spend.
173
00:27:41.940 –> 00:27:54.150
Jason Mefford: And so, his point always being right he was a very good person who saved some of his money to be able to be you know financially free in in.
174
00:27:56.100 –> 00:27:58.560
Jason Mefford: yeah because, because what i’ve what i’ve seen and what I tell a lot of.
175
00:27:58.560 –> 00:28:13.710
Jason Mefford: People sometimes is people think well I can’t save any money or I can’t do anything, or I can’t you know BA BA BA BA BA right, so they feel all that pressure, financially and something as simple as having one month or three months worth of savings.
176
00:28:14.940 –> 00:28:27.960
Jason Mefford: Has like this calming effect on people who have been used to their whole life just never having money in the Bank, I was just talking to somebody actually a while ago.
177
00:28:28.620 –> 00:28:38.820
Jason Mefford: And I think they’ve got three or $4,000 in their savings account now it’s the most this person has ever had in their savings account in their life.
178
00:28:40.080 –> 00:28:42.480
Jason Mefford: How do you think that makes them feel right.
179
00:28:42.870 –> 00:28:43.410
Angela Noelle: mm hmm.
180
00:28:43.710 –> 00:28:53.520
Jason Mefford: Much different much different right because all that anxiety and the stress and the everything else and yeah it’s not a great amount of money, but for this person.
181
00:28:54.390 –> 00:29:02.610
Jason Mefford: it’s huge right, and so I know the financial abundance goes much further than that, but was trying to think of.
182
00:29:03.090 –> 00:29:18.810
Jason Mefford: You know kind of a simple thing I don’t know if you if you share other things, with people about how does that pillar kind of work to help us southern we we can be on fire, we can feel like we’re powerful instead of feeling like we’re burned out or her small.
183
00:29:19.260 –> 00:29:29.190
Angela Noelle: yeah i’m so glad that we’re picking this apart jason’s and first of all I just disclaimer I don’t consider i’m i’m not a money.
184
00:29:30.630 –> 00:29:43.140
Angela Noelle: Expert as far as like financial planning my angle with financial abundance is the idea that when you can get your you know your ducks in a row right So those are the components of the fire.
185
00:29:43.950 –> 00:29:53.070
Angela Noelle: And you can get your health and check when you align with who you are when you’re creating and doing the things that you love when you truly learn how to.
186
00:29:55.260 –> 00:30:10.620
Angela Noelle: Practice self care that is more than just going to the nail salon and going to the massage but it’s really a matter of really getting in tune with what you’re saying yes to and what you’re saying no to and you lead from your heart and not your head.
187
00:30:12.360 –> 00:30:13.830
Angela Noelle: The money is going to just come.
188
00:30:15.270 –> 00:30:25.860
Angela Noelle: So that is, that is how I work with people I have single handedly i’ve seen it happen with my my clients with myself with people, my friends.
189
00:30:26.400 –> 00:30:35.040
Angela Noelle: And I know it sounds it might sound like magic or kind of whoo whoo there are some really good books out there that talk about this subject, just.
190
00:30:35.880 –> 00:30:50.820
Angela Noelle: Money is just a tool it’s just energy and it’s a reflection of who we are, internally and if we’re always hating on ourselves, or even you know you were talking about the people that.
191
00:30:51.870 –> 00:31:03.600
Angela Noelle: Just knew now have three or $4,000 in their bank account, where the biz before they did not they never had that kind of savings, what was the conversation that they were having every single day.
192
00:31:05.280 –> 00:31:19.800
Angela Noelle: In themselves within themselves or with their spouse or whoever they’re sharing their life with about money was it, you know, is it was it coming from a place of possibility or was it coming from a place of fear and.
193
00:31:22.380 –> 00:31:36.390
Angela Noelle: And you know, this translates into all aspects of our life what we think about expands right so some people who, you may have listened to, or watch the secret right like the law of attraction what we.
194
00:31:37.650 –> 00:31:44.940
Angela Noelle: how we go about our day every single thought every single thought that we think on a daily basis.
195
00:31:46.110 –> 00:32:02.100
Angela Noelle: is going out there and it’s being either felt by somebody so how many times have you been out, and you know you you thought of a person, and then you run into them or they text or they call you or how many times have you worried about something happening and it actually happened.
196
00:32:03.150 –> 00:32:13.080
Angela Noelle: Because you’re ruminating and you’re thinking about it well, you can actually use that brain of yours, you know that big brain in our heads and choose.
197
00:32:14.130 –> 00:32:28.080
Angela Noelle: your thoughts or at least become awake starts with awareness and then with awareness becomes choice right i’m choosing a new thought and over time it’s really astounding at what happens with people’s finances.
198
00:32:29.340 –> 00:32:44.340
Jason Mefford: Well it’s it’s interesting because again kind of these four areas right financial kind of the inner inner peace, the the health aspect and then just kind of the alignment energy and the alignment of what you’re doing right is that.
199
00:32:45.600 –> 00:32:55.890
Jason Mefford: When any one of these is off kilter we’re out of balance right so here, instead of just talking about yin and Yang as to right we’re talking kind of about four.
200
00:32:56.580 –> 00:33:09.000
Jason Mefford: Things you know and so again, you know, think about this, how hard, is it to have inner peace if you’re fearful and worried all the time about money that’s going to be where you’re focusing your attention.
201
00:33:09.240 –> 00:33:14.760
Jason Mefford: yeah and it’s going to be hard for you to have that inner peace right if there’s something wrong with your health.
202
00:33:15.630 –> 00:33:25.440
Jason Mefford: How hard, is it going to be for you to maybe you can’t go to work or you’re have to put your business on hold, so your health affects your finances.
203
00:33:25.890 –> 00:33:37.740
Jason Mefford: And is that going to affect your inner peace probably know as well right it’s like we have all these different little moving pieces, but as as as we’re we’re kind of balancing.
204
00:33:38.940 –> 00:33:46.230
Jason Mefford: and setting into it that way that’s how we’re kind of creating this I don’t know life lifeboat if you will.
205
00:33:47.700 –> 00:33:58.080
Jason Mefford: You know, to where we were protected we’re protected if something happens because, if I feel that inner peace doesn’t matter what’s going on around me.
206
00:33:59.190 –> 00:34:03.900
Jason Mefford: I can go inside and I can feel the peace, even if it’s chaotic around me right.
207
00:34:04.260 –> 00:34:12.810
Jason Mefford: yeah even if all hell goes loose financially right if if if things are okay in that area there’s nothing to be afraid of.
208
00:34:13.260 –> 00:34:21.030
Jason Mefford: And like you said really from a financial abundance perspective there’s never ever anything to be afraid of because money always comes.
209
00:34:21.750 –> 00:34:32.610
Jason Mefford: No matter how much money or how little money i’ve ever had in my life there’s always been more and there’s always been enough and more than I need at any given time.
210
00:34:33.960 –> 00:34:43.350
Angela Noelle: You know, and when I just wanted to your point Jason about you know there’s always money, no matter how much or how little one activity one tip that I heard from.
211
00:34:44.490 –> 00:34:50.490
Angela Noelle: A coach that I was at a talk once and she talked about this, she said, if you find a penny.
212
00:34:51.810 –> 00:34:57.180
Angela Noelle: On the sidewalk you pick that penny up and you celebrate that penny like you just picked up.
213
00:34:58.620 –> 00:34:59.880
Angela Noelle: $10,000.
214
00:35:01.290 –> 00:35:09.870
Angela Noelle: Because it’s still money it’s the energetic and how many people out there i’m guilty of this have thrown pennies away like oh it’s just a penny.
215
00:35:11.400 –> 00:35:20.640
Angela Noelle: What you’re saying is that you don’t appreciate money and money needs to be respected, just like anything that you want more of.
216
00:35:21.420 –> 00:35:26.580
Angela Noelle: You know, like if you, if you like, plants right if you if you take care of plants in your garden.
217
00:35:27.000 –> 00:35:39.540
Angela Noelle: Are you going to allow your garden to just so you’re not going to water it and read it, or if you have house plants so you’re just going to you know, put it in a corner and the dark and just leave it, I mean I know some people do that.
218
00:35:41.550 –> 00:35:47.610
Angela Noelle: But for people that truly identify as being like plant lovers or or gardeners you know.
219
00:35:48.090 –> 00:36:05.850
Angela Noelle: know you want to you want to tend to your garden and take care of your plants and and and nurture your plants and that you could talk about your children or you know anything that’s important to you so it’s the same thing goes for money is treating it with respect.
220
00:36:07.170 –> 00:36:13.110
Jason Mefford: And it’s kind of you know as again as we’re as we’re talking about it, these these four areas that you talk about because.
221
00:36:14.160 –> 00:36:19.050
Jason Mefford: How much of the time, do we not really respect, for example, or health.
222
00:36:19.470 –> 00:36:24.360
Jason Mefford: yeah or something else right is is that that’s where the the gratitude.
223
00:36:25.530 –> 00:36:42.840
Jason Mefford: And the respect for that stuff really comes in right, I mean if if you’re feeling out of balance it’s probably because there’s some part of your life that you’re not as grateful for or focusing attention on right so again, we can look we’ll just use extremes right.
224
00:36:43.440 –> 00:36:51.570
Jason Mefford: We can do that on a podcast but you know if you’re just if you just love on your plants, and you have a house, full of plants that are.
225
00:36:51.930 –> 00:36:58.590
Jason Mefford: You know, wonderful, but you totally neglect and forget, you have kids and you forget to feed them okay.
226
00:36:59.430 –> 00:37:04.830
Jason Mefford: Or you know, whatever right, I mean if you’re neglecting one part of your life.
227
00:37:05.310 –> 00:37:19.980
Jason Mefford: Then you’re not really going to be in that balance as well right and and really to have that power to to get up to be excited to be alive every day all of those things have to kind of be playing.
228
00:37:22.440 –> 00:37:22.920
Angela Noelle: yeah.
229
00:37:23.580 –> 00:37:39.210
Angela Noelle: Absolutely and and also let’s face it we’re human beings right and, and this is not an invitation to go into perfectionism right because sometimes we forget I forget to water my water Wednesday is my day to water my plants.
230
00:37:39.210 –> 00:37:41.520
Angela Noelle: Sometimes it doesn’t happen until the weekend.
231
00:37:42.060 –> 00:37:44.100
Angela Noelle: You know and it’s it’s about.
232
00:37:45.390 –> 00:37:49.260
Angela Noelle: You know it’s a fine line between setting goals right.
233
00:37:49.260 –> 00:37:50.610
Angela Noelle: Setting your intention.
234
00:37:51.120 –> 00:37:52.440
Angela Noelle: And also.
235
00:37:55.350 –> 00:38:07.110
Angela Noelle: You know forgiving yourself if you don’t get it right, the first time, and also, knowing that tomorrow, or even the next minute of your life is a new beginning.
236
00:38:08.190 –> 00:38:16.380
Angela Noelle: So it’s a matter really of like you said, the gratitude because fearing gratitude can exist in the same space and.
237
00:38:17.490 –> 00:38:27.570
Angela Noelle: And being gentle learning baby steps to be gentle with yourself if you make a mistake and forget to water your plants or feed your children.
238
00:38:29.520 –> 00:38:39.030
Jason Mefford: yeah well in this as always we ended up talking about a lot of different things and there’s layers in this episode so.
239
00:38:39.570 –> 00:38:47.400
Jason Mefford: This is one of those episodes you might want to listen to more than one time because you’re probably going to get something out of it different the next time right.
240
00:38:48.000 –> 00:38:57.030
Jason Mefford: But you know Angela thanks thanks for coming on I mean maybe just to kind of you know, because we started off kind of talking a little bit about burnout, you know as well, and the fact that a lot of people.
241
00:38:57.810 –> 00:39:07.410
Jason Mefford: are more tired than they need to be you know, and this ends up sometimes affecting all these other aspects of our life that we’ve been talking about so.
242
00:39:08.130 –> 00:39:17.370
Jason Mefford: So I know we’ve talked about a lot of things that people can do, but again, maybe just kind of one or two kind of quick takeaways for people here at the end it’s like.
243
00:39:18.090 –> 00:39:37.020
Jason Mefford: You know, so that you don’t end up going down that route, what are one or two simple things you can do today, or this week to at least start moving yourself in the right direction right because that’s that’s that’s the whole idea is we’re as long as you’re moving in the right way.
244
00:39:38.190 –> 00:39:38.700
Angela Noelle: yeah.
245
00:39:38.790 –> 00:39:45.090
Jason Mefford: that’s all we gotta do right just every day, keep moving a little bit the right way, that we want to go.
246
00:39:45.990 –> 00:39:50.730
Angela Noelle: And you know you’ll be surprised that even just taking little steps in that direction.
247
00:39:51.780 –> 00:40:01.110
Angela Noelle: Will can make a big impact, over time, so you know, the first thing we talked about gratitude, I think about with it man’s search for meaning by Viktor frankl that.
248
00:40:01.110 –> 00:40:07.140
Angela Noelle: boom, where he talks about you know me his he was in hell, you know, or what most people would interpret as hell and.
249
00:40:07.650 –> 00:40:19.470
Angela Noelle: He expressed gratitude for what he had so expressing gratitude, even if it’s you know you don’t have what you want, right now, for what you have.
250
00:40:20.070 –> 00:40:30.870
Angela Noelle: is already enough and I think starting there because, in the presence of gratitude there’s no fear, so that and I think also just the second one would be.
251
00:40:32.520 –> 00:40:43.170
Angela Noelle: To practice grace with yourself is just to give yourself plenty of space and grace to be a human being, because.
252
00:40:44.370 –> 00:41:04.860
Angela Noelle: Not nobody’s perfect, but at the same time we’re perfectly imperfect and we’re all here to I believe show up and be who we truly are and when we’re who we truly are then we can actually start to make an impact in this world yeah.
253
00:41:05.970 –> 00:41:08.490
Jason Mefford: Well, said, and you know I know a lot of people that are.
254
00:41:09.750 –> 00:41:14.100
Jason Mefford: That are listening or some of those overthinking is over Doers pox checkers.
255
00:41:15.990 –> 00:41:26.940
Jason Mefford: And I love that last point that have some grace with yourself right is that there’s there’s no reason to beat ourselves up or to say things to ourself.
256
00:41:27.570 –> 00:41:39.060
Jason Mefford: that we would never say to another person it’s something i’m still working on every single day right because, again, the way you know really hit me when I.
257
00:41:40.260 –> 00:41:47.130
Jason Mefford: heard from several different places, but you know, would you talk to someone that you love the way you talk to yourself.
258
00:41:48.690 –> 00:41:51.030
Jason Mefford: And if the answer is no, then you better stop it.
259
00:41:51.450 –> 00:42:00.720
Jason Mefford: Right it’s time to stop it it’s time to start having some grace with yourself and realize that you know, like I said I mean the journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step.
260
00:42:01.620 –> 00:42:14.400
Jason Mefford: And as long as we’re making you know we’re we’re we’re moving that way to just have grace with yourself and that’s going to bring more of that inner peace that we’re all really wanting anyway.
261
00:42:14.820 –> 00:42:18.090
