‘Keep working on yourself’ is a phrase I hear often. What does that even mean? Lisa Najjar and I talk about what ‘doing the work’ on ourselves is all about in today’s, Life In Times Of COVID-19, Part III episode. We explore some bigger questions to ask yourself.

Lisa Najjar, an Intuitive Consultant, and author of Dying to Tell You (see her bio below), feels this is a time of restriction of what is normal and an expansion of possibility. Questions that include our environment and how you can do your part in stopping the pillaging of all of our resources. This global pandemic means something. It is a global wake up call. Don’t waste this pandemic by not asking yourself important questions. DOWNLOAD

To move into the heart of our conversation, we discuss what consciousness means and we learn how Lisa describes consciousness. As usual, I am known for throwing a curveball into the conversation to bring out a meaningful experience for your listening pleasure. It happens in this conversation quite naturally after I discuss how our universal human needs are all interconnected in ‘doing the work’ to raise your consciousness levels to truth, beauty, love, and joy.

To get started on ‘doing the work,’ we discuss this first big question to ask yourself. What is your ‘go to’ method that distracts you from your inner knowing? When discomfort and pain settles into your heart space and mind, and you do not want to deal with it, how do you numb that inner voice? For how long?

As humans we need wake up calls to jolt our minds into other ways of thinking, being, doing, and living. Are you playing some nonsense games with yourself like not standing in your power? Are you investing in an addiction like being addicted to distractions, sex, work, approval, love, self-medicating with food, drugs, and alcohol? Are you filling your mind with preoccupations and obsessions about money, death, and scarcity? Are you asserting other types of self-harming, co-dependency with those you live with and work with, or are you invested in relationships that aren’t working?  Us humans are creative in how we choose to devolve ourselves.

When you choose to evolve and ‘do the work’ to evolve, you use every opportunity or wake up call to summon your higher wisdom or engage a deeper level of questioning that leads you out of nonsense games, major distractions like our addictions and hanging on to misguided conspiracy theories, and participating in stupid misunderstandings that suck the life out of you. You learn to disentangle discord and stand in your power, forgive to create more space in your heart, follow your passion, show compassion, engage courage in boundary setting, and choose loving acts by doing random acts of kindness. These actions of intention bring your energy vibration levels higher.

Far too often we do what Sigmund Freud once said, “All family life is organized around the most damaged person in it.” I am invested in collaborating with business owners and their teams to commit to operate at a higher energy-level frequency, especially family-owned businesses, where many times work life and home life are organized around the most damaged person. The business owner who operates at the bottom rung of consciousness and energy vibrations by having scape goats.

A simple way to break the dynamic is by ‘doing the work’ to bring the highest level of energy and consciousness to every environment you are in. It just takes a choice to evolve, the hiring of a mentor with  a high vibration, and stopping what doesn’t work. Those three decisions are an organized way to begin moving out of chaos and rigidity and into self-leadership and integration of self.

Enjoy this uplifting and motivating conversation! A salute to those who have passed before us giving their lives for a democracy, now under siege. Let’s end the plundering of our country. In honor of our deceased veterans on this Memorial Day, make a commitment to vote in November and ‘do the work’ to evolve. Honor their lives by evolving yours.
