Claudias Movement - EXPRESS YOURSELF

In this episode of the Express Yourself podcast, we delve into the complexities of dealing with dark thoughts and personal challenges. Through personal sharings, I emphasize on the importance of embracing one's shadow side, learning from difficult experiences, and the necessity of accountability in personal growth. The conversation also highlights grounding practices, the significance of daily routines, and the journey of self-discovery.

In this episode of the Express Yourself Podcast, we discuss the importance of recognizing self-sabotage and distractions that hinder personal growth. The conversation emphasizes the need for creating space in our lives to prioritize our goals and the interconnectedness of personal and professional aspirations. I encourage you the listener to take actionable steps towards their goals, reflecting on their potential and the importance of accountability in the journey of self-improvement.00:00Welcome to the Express Yourself Podcast05:21Creating Space for Yourself11:04Fear of Potential and Taking Action17:17Self-Reflection and AccountabilityConnect with me on: https://www.instagram.com/claudiasmovement/https://www.claudiasmovement.com/

In this episode, we dive into negative thoughts and how to deal with them in the best way. We dive into how you can navigate yourself out of the black hole that negative thoughts can push us into and what we can learn from them. In the end of this episode, I'll leave you with a little homework that I wanted to repeat here once again. Pen & a paper exercise: What do you normally do when a negative thought comes? When and where do negative thoughts show up in your life?

I had the pleasure of interviewing my client MJ after her life-changing experience at our Thailand retreat. Her story of personal growth and transformation is nothing short of inspirational. At first, MJ's goal was simply to gain weight and build muscle. However, as with many journeys of self-discovery, her path took unexpected turns. She reveals the many ways in which she has grown, including setting boundaries within herself, learning to comfortably say "no," and even changing the course of her career based on her newfound perspective. MJ's journey is a powerful reminder that personal growth is never linear and that the greatest transformations often come from stepping outside of our comfort zones. We hope that her story will inspire you to embrace the unknown and embark on your own journey of self-discovery. We invite you to join us for this episode and to share any questions or comments you may have for MJ or myself. Thank you for tuning in, and may MJ's story serve as a source of inspiration and empowerment for all those who seek to transform their lives.

What exactly is a conscious mushroom ceremony and how does it work? Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to take magic mushrooms in a safe, guided environment, free from external pressures and partying? Meet T-ZER, a fellow wanderlust sister and dancer, who had never experienced a positive mushroom experience until she met me last year. Together, surrounded by the sounds and whispers of Mother Nature, T-ZER and her partner gave the medicine another try and came out of it with many insights that have shaped the way they approach life. I had the pleasure of facilitating and holding space for them and today we discussed their experience with magic mushrooms and conscious plant medicine. We invite you to join us and share your own experiences or opinions about these transformative experiences. Connect with dancer T-ZER on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tzerfuse/"

Walls are a visual representation of the guards that we're putting up. You can look at it like a layer of protection that we built around an excuse, a reason why we're not where we want to be or why something is unattainable for us. What are your walls representing, why did you build them and what are they really protecting? In order for us to change a habit or learn a new behavior, we need to gain a deeper understanding of what the layers around the goal are and why we haven't been able to break through the walls of our old conditioning and beliefs. 

Your inner king stands for truth and boundaries and materializes your inner world to the outer world. If done correctly.  But many of us aren't even aware that we have both masculine and feminine energies within us. This is a gift that many of us have forgotten to use.  In today's episode, I talk about the wounded and healthy masculine within us also referred to in this example as "distorted masculine" & inner king. Your inner king is waiting to follow up with your signals. To trust your words and promises and hold up your boundaries. Are you giving him the chance to show up and do so, OR is this where you go into people-pleasing / victimhood mode?

How can we live with an open heart without fearing rejection, hurt, or disappointment?? We simply can't. We can only control our own vibration (why we attracted this type of pain or this lesson) & our response to it. Whether others decide to hurt us or show up with a closed heart, isn't in our power. Establishing & respecting your boundaries to cultivate self-love & not let others fuck you over, on the other hand, IS IN YOUR CONTROL. This is one example of how you can practice showing up with love and an open heart.  Listen to the entire episode to learn more about what it means to live with an open heart & how you can recognize that you're closing up.  Intro to Q&A: Self-protection does not make one powerful; it only keeps us from developing intimate connections with safe people and facing our fear of relationship"

Whenever you don't feel like 100% yourself, it's time to take a good look at yourself and your energy. Are you operating from a place of love? Do you understand your energy and how high your energy's vibration is right now?  I sure lost my way a little, so I decided to stop my podcast and come back when I'm thriving in a high-energy state and found my purpose for doing podcasts again.  In this episode, we discuss my personal energetical "setback" from a year ago to now, how you recognize your own energy and operate again from the heart. 

Your living is being determined so much by the attitude you bring to life. The attitude of life determines how you choose to respond to events & creates your reality. Let's avoid worry & negative thinking by working on having a better attitude towards life! Figure out what type of attitude you have right now & how you can improve yours in daily situations!
