Welcome to the Making of you. I'm Alexandria, the founder of Your Transformation Hub and the Mastery Project. And this podcast is dedicated to the whys and ways to transform doable into enjoyable, successful, and purposeful, while becoming the architect of your own life.
Okay, so today we've got an episode dedicated to five ways to Shine.
Now, you could say shining is all about getting ahead in your career.
Feeling prosperous, feeling valued, feeling worthy. But my first number one, my first point today is how can you shine? How can you build the architecture that's going to create that radiance, that confidence, that je ne sais quoi that everyone wants?
Alrighty, so number one, please. Simple, simple. Choose love over fear. Now, what do I mean by that? Well, loving consciousness, to me, is the fuel of everything. It connects us all together.
It is the energy that creates everything in our life, and it starts in the heart.
Now, I know people think of love as romantic love or family love, relationships, but loving consciousness simply is energy, it's the fuel for everything.
And so, of course, if we want to shine, we're going to need that fuel and get a strong and aligned connection with it.
So choosing is a very underrated superpower.
Just because a lot of things in our life could happen miraculously or fall into place, it doesn't mean that we haven't chosen.
So in simple terms, if you choose to fuel your life, you're choosing to align with that loving consciousness, your choosing to say, hey, I'm going to respond. And that starts with being in my heart and really aligning with what I truly want, then that is a great way to start your shining progress.
So what happens with Loving Consciousness is also we are honoring the unlimited true nature of ourselves, that we can do anything. We can become so transformed and evolved that we are at peace. Peace. We're enjoying our lives.
We're feeling a sense of progress and a sense of purpose. But to get there, we do need to choose consciously and regularly. So we're honing out that path through our life, that journey. And it doesn't have to be a struggle, but the more we fight with a limited point of view, more we fight with a limited perspective, the more we fight with our ego and the limited self that tells us we're unworthy, we're not good enough.
Our life is what it is, and it's never going to get any different. Then, of course, we're going to be wasting our energy.
So if you want to shine, start inside. All right. Choose love. Choose to unlimit your life.
Choose to be courageous enough to expand or to look at your options and to keep your heart and mind open.
Okay, so number two. Well, if anyone has listened to any of my episodes, they're going to know that I'm a super, super big fan of the heart. Mind alignment. If you're a newbie, thanks for joining us. What do I mean by heart and mind alignment? Well, basically, as I've said in number one, your heart is your infinite connection. It's what's fueling everything in your immaterial, immaterial experience.
And it's been designed especially to help you transform and to help you make purposeful and prosperous steps forward, whatever you're choosing in your life.
But a lot of the time we find our mind is much more seductive or actually we don't even know that we're hanging out in our mind rather than having an overlap between what we dream, what we believe, what we are truly open to and how we're going to administrate it. So the mind for me is that place where we start contemplating how we're going to draw that beautiful immaterial fuel into the form that we want. So it's the sketch, it's the place we start making lists, we start planning and also the place where we are prepared of course, to bring our dream into a practical and physical experience and reality.
So when we are shining, of course we need a bit of both. We need a balance between the immaterial endless fuel that's available to us and also of course, being able to birth that dream, that belief that progress into our everyday life.
Now the more we shine, it's going to be an indication of the more open hearted, open minded we are, the greater being, balance in our heart, mind alignment and also how often and how continuously we're using conscious choice.
So shining is as much about accepting what we're naturally growing into, what we're actually naturally capable of. So not going, oh, take the limited, I'll take the. The lesser, I'll take the compromise of I'm not really happy with it, don't align with it, but I'll just do it because I'm too frightened to be something else. No, we're not going to do that. That's not going to raise our consciousness, that's not going to raise the frequency of the energy in our lives and we're not going to shine because that is dimming ourselves down.
So I'm the first to say, yes, if you want to shine, it takes courage, but you can be shining in whatever you choose without conflict. And that's something that I'm going to move to in number three now. So, number two, use 100% of your resources, use your heart, mind, alignment, be in balance, and recognize that you're going to consistently and consciously choose to unlimit your life, to be open to greater and greater opportunities, and to adapt, of course, in how you express your reality, your practical experience of what you truly want.
Okay, so number three. Well, the shine of everything is entirely up to our choice, as I've said, but it's also understanding what that alignment and what that means to us. So it could be that we're shining because we want to be successful. It could be that we want to get noticed and get promoted. It could be that we have some really fabulous ideas that we would like investment into. We have a person that we adore or who we want to know loves, could love us or we love them or that we would like to get close to.
So shining is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For me, to shine is literally to harness your higher consciousness. And to do that, yes, you have to rumble your limited self, your ego, and choose to step outside the cube and choose to innovate, choose to be flexible in the way that you are responding to how your life path is unfolding.
One of the biggest problems for people when they are looking to expand and want to shine and want to get noticed in the positive way is that actually they're not really that open. So they're hanging out in their heads hoping that they can shine but still remain inside the cube and not innovate and not transform anything. Well, shining is from the inside out, but it's also not about being in your head. It's not about logic. It's about combining the fuel for your change with the practical application.
So of course, back with action. All right, back yourself and support yourself with action. But equally, remember that it is also a balance of your masculine and feminine sides. So what you do, what you be, and it is getting a balance of these. It's not all doing and rushing around because that has the danger of spending most of your time in your head and forgetting your heart or forgetting your inspiration source or getting cut off progressively from the fuel that's meant to be helping you create what you want.
So it's to stay in the middle and realize that you can focus your efforts all right, with the doing, but you can also be flexible and open to the being. So be in the unfoldment of what's happening, not force it or push it and then end up just looking like you're trying to do something rather than you're radiating what you're capable of.
So focus plus flexibility, that's a great combination.
Vision plus application.
All right. Service and self love. Okay? A lot of people see that their shining can be becoming a bit dim or becoming hard work simply because they aren't being self loving in the application of what they want to experience.
So self love means balance the service of self and others equally. It doesn't mean you have to give relentlessly, continuously or all of your effort to something outside of yourself or to someone.
But it also doesn't mean that you don't give and that you're not open to being generous or to be supportive. And to be aware of course, that everything in our lives is a co creation.
So for me, in number three, when you're shining, it's not all about you, anyone, that's all about outside. It is a balance of that self dedication and also the co creation of what you want to achieve.
So shining is also, as I've said, a path. It's a journey. All right? The more consistently you consciously choose, the more you take command. It's not about sort of controlling everything to the nth detail, it's simply about saying, hey, it's my choice. And if it doesn't turn out the way I thought, I can modify, I can be flexible. But also I know what my core value is, I know what my worthiness is.
And so I'm going to serve what I believe is the best balance point, my highest good, the highest good of all. And I can do both. And there is a wonderful way to shine when you do that.
So service, not servitude. Seeing how and being aware of, of the environment around you and seeing how you can co create.
Alrighty, number four, Shining for some people is confidence. And for me, confidence is all about developing trust.
Now first and foremost, trust starts in the heart because we are trusting in the immaterial, beautiful fuel of that loving consciousness that creates our world in the physical.
So that combination, that confidence is trusting that we are connected and choosing to be connected. So if you want to shine in the sense you walk in a room and light it up, then you do need to be connected to your heart and to know in that sense of self inside your heart that you are fueled, that you are worthy and that you're not going to be running out of energy because you're always connected.
And also you're not going to be kind of gullible. Or you're not going to be attempting to control your environment.
You're going to be saying, hey, I have the fuel to make a difference. I have the fuel to light up this room and explain what I've got on offer.
And to do that, I have the balance of my heart and my mind.
So your individuality is going to shine through because you are creating that worthiness. You're acknowledging that your individual and unique connection is just as valuable as anyone else's. But also you are acknowledging the personal responsibility, your capacity to respond and to bring that sense of worthiness into a form that resonates with you.
So all of the creative journey starts inside and capacity to trust, to have confidence in that infinite immaterial flow.
Okay, my last point today, number five, shine is definitely the radiance of yourself. So think of it as your heart energy, as this beacon that's just gently pulsing and continually pulsing. Now, when I say continually, that means that you are going to be both creating and also adapting. So when things don't go the way you thought, don't bounce off your life, all right? Don't go, oh, I made a terrible mistake. Beat yourself up, go into your head and basically stop shining.
One of the ways, unfortunately, we can drain ourselves and not build our capacity to radiate. Whatever we have on offer is that we meet an obstacle and then we judge ourselves, that we were terrible, bad, useless, unworthy. And then we run into our heads and we have a problem then actually getting back out and going back into the heart. Mind alignment.
So don't go. All or nothing. Don't go, oh, I made one mistake and I'm useless. All right? Creativity is a journey. And to be able to shine and to grow your radiant capacity, all right? Your heart beacon. You're going to need to adapt and face some fears, go through some initiations.
[00:14:56] So look at everything as learning. Look at everything as contributing to that shining example, all right? And give yourself a break. But learn, all right? And choose differently the next time, okay? It's been my great pleasure to talk about how to shine and your inner and outer alignment.
