Day 4 – Understanding

July 28, 2020 by Romack Leave a Comment

Welcome to Day 4 – Understanding Yourself Better

So why on earth would we want to understand ourselves better?

When we seek to better understand out thoughts, emotions and actions, we realize how much is conditioned by our surroundings. It’s not actually who we are.  It’s conditioning.

Once we understand that we have to opportunity to let them go.  And that’s liberating!  That’s change!

Self mastery is what we seek so we can continually evolve to be the best we can be for ourselves and others.

I’ve found a unique way to understand ourselves better is to take a RISK!  Taking a risk means that the outcome is unknown. For many of us, that fear of the ‘what can happen’ stops us from moving forward.

In order to better understand ourselves and self reflect, let’s take some risk and see what happens.

It can be a big or small risk.  It’s what you are comfortably uncomfortable with.  If a risk doesn’t present to you today, at least you are thinking about it.  You are still aware of it.  That is understanding yourself better in order to create more focus!

The Simplicity Project – Step 3

September 9, 2019 by yinster Leave a Comment

Step 3 

Consumption Kills Simplicity and Clarity


Consumption Kills Simplicity And creates attachments that hold us down and keep us from leaping forward!  Attachments are something we discuss more in my coaching program Clarity Above Chaos. For this project, please note that we have attachments to things, but most times those things are simply the mask fronting for the true attachment.  Is it a person, place, thought or emotion? 

This particular step is something you may not be ready for at this time.  If not, ask yourself why and then move on to step 4. Come back to this again when it has more value or relevance in your life! 

**** Pick a period of time. A day, a week, a month or a year. During this predetermined time, do not purchase anything you don’t NEED.  The simple awareness of not purchasing anything brings more simplicity into your life. You start to become hyper aware of other consumption patterns that can trigger stress, stagnation and complexity.****

Remember,  attachment is the result of consuming things. Let’s call this an exercise in awareness of what you actually need. I promise, we don’t need anymore attachments.  They create that reminder of what we don’t have or didn’t have before we bought it.  

I decided to go bold and do this for one year.  I’m 2 months into it and I have gotten so much out of this already.  I fell into the habit of shopping and consuming in excess.  If I were bored, I’d go buy a dress.  If I was so busy I couldn’t breathe, I buy a piece of jewelry. If I had a successful moment in my business, I’d get a manicure.  If I had a failure in my business, I’d go out to eat.  This was an ongoing pattern for years and I didn’t realize how attached to reward I was.  I was attached to distraction by shopping and my success with Modern Yinster showed this. 

Now, shopping or frivolous lunches are not an option.  I’ve gotten rid of my need for more stuff and opened a door to determination and discipline.  Now, instead of spending money, I make a lot more!

When I told my kids this they exclaimed, “yea!! because you shop a lot and we had to go with you.”  Ouch, but a good ouch.  They were noticing my unhealthy behaviors and this change benefited them because they no longer have to shop with me, but also, now they will learn that reward comes from within.  They will continue to see me flourish in my business and frankly, my new found drive and discipline is setting a passionate tone for when I am coaching my children through life.  

 If more comes along with this particular exercise, let’s chat.  This step affects everyone differently and most of my clients are surprised at the results.  

Is this something you are up to right now? Perhaps it is a step that you need to put on the back burner?  Timing is important but don’t wait for the perfect time to do this because there will never be a ‘perfect time.’  

A QUICK NOTE:

I’d love to continue to work with you on a deeper level.  If you like the idea of creating more simplicity in your life or digging deeper within your true self, let’s set up a call.  I’d love to hear more and introduce you to a program that shows you how to really study yourself to find truth beyond what you think you are capable of knowing.

The Simplicity Project – Step 1

September 9, 2019 by yinster Leave a Comment

MINIMAL and SIMPLICITY are all buzz words right now and why is that? Because it’s what our life is craving. In a state of constant noise, clutter, opinions and devices, our minds need something beautiful… PEACE.

We can’t run like a hamster on the wheel cause our life will go absolutely nowhere. Creating simplicity in our life helps us find clarity.

What’s so great about clarity? Because you get what you need and want out of life and with little effort, you begin to create the life you dream of without having to give any of the good stuff up. The good stuff being family, fun, promotions, money, vacation etc. In fact… you will get more of the good stuff not less. Win, Win right? Yes!!

This Simplicity Project is a 5 step process.  Within these 5 steps you will be evaluating your external and internal space.  Prepare to release the clutter which doesn’t serve you so you can receive and radiate on your journey ahead as your best self. 

Each step is it’s own blog post.

STEP 1 – EVALUATION


This entire program is about creating a more simple lifestyle and that begins with the space around you.   Let’s dive in…. 

This step requires you to spend 5 minutes walking through your home, being still in each space and evaluating the area.  This can be a room in your home or office. A space you enjoy outside or even within a room. 

Here is your evaluation criteria… (I’ve created an example evaluation within the story I tell in Step 2)

Room I’m Evaluating _________________________________________

  1.  How do you feel in that space?  _____________________________________
  2. On a scale of 1-10, how important is this space to you? (10 being most) ___________
  3. On a scale of 1-10, how often are you in this space? (10 being often) ______________
  4. What priority in life do you give the actions that take place in this space?  __________
  5. How do you want to feel in this space?_________________________
