embracing of your unique you I love a
4:09
nugget and a nudge I'm going to go for
4:12
the nugget okay I'm going to go for the
4:14
nugget but today you are all going to
4:17
learn three important aspects of imbuing
4:20
the beautiful you number one embracing
4:23
your own uniqueness number two
4:26
going beyond your fears and finally
4:29
number three self-love so let's talk
4:34
about embracing your own uniqueness is
4:39
it fair to say that most of us have
4:42
something about ourselves that we just
4:46
don't like about ourselves all that much
4:50
here and I think so and with things that
4:54
we think that is very normal and we find
4:57
that there isn't any person in the world
5:01
man or woman who doesn't have something
5:03
about themselves as they just don't like
5:05
that much I can't embrace ask absolutely
5:08
absolutely but you know before we go on
5:11
I want to put a comment up here so April
5:13
roga just said Oh Andrew where'd this
5:16
subject and nuns I love that N squared
5:19
Thank You April the loveless love and
5:22
love it yes so so we invite you right
5:26
now in the comments section to proclaim
5:29
it here what is that one thing that you
5:32
just don't love about yourself so much
5:35
and hey save loud his proud yes put it
5:39
in the comments down there so for me
5:41
i'll start my mind was the little white
5:44
lie it was my gray hair saying i'm going
5:47
to reveal it again i love revealing it
5:49
and I'm really embracing it but when I
5:50
first decided to do this I had just
5:53
turned 60 back in November and I've been
5:56
coloring my hair for 30 years I mean 30
5:58
years every three weeks i went into the
6:00
hairdresser sat down colored my hair
6:02
because i knew that i was already going
6:04
white my mother is a hundred percent
6:06
white and I just wasn't ready at 30
6:09
years old to have white hair and I
6:11
thought okay how am I going to do this
6:13
and I got kind of nervous and I went out
6:14
and I bought like past all sorts of hats
6:16
i wore them for a little while and it
6:19
was itch my forehead and I was like I I
6:21
don't like this I thought okay I'm just
6:24
I'm just going to step out and I'm going
6:25
to do this and then I went to Las Vegas
6:27
and I know that we told the story
6:30
several weeks ago I did a blog post
6:32
about this about going out while going
6:34
gray in Las Vegas and I went out there
6:36
and I normally would wear my sexy little
6:38
dresses by 5 inch
6:39
don't ask and this time I like to Vegas
6:43
and I brought jeans and like t-shirts
6:45
and I didn't feel sexy I didn't feel
6:48
like I fit into the whole Las Vegas
6:51
saying I didn't feel like I fit in
6:52
period and I came back and I thought you
6:55
know my mindset needs a shift my mindset
6:59
need to shift Thank You Darryl I realize
7:01
you can't see me ok I'm back on down
7:03
there you go so my mindset really needed
7:06
a shift and I decided that you know what
7:09
I am not my hair I am NOT my gray I am
7:13
me I am Who I am on the inside and once
7:16
I made that shift I went out loud and
7:19
proud just like you said Alexandra I
7:21
went out loud and proud and I am
7:23
embracing it 100% I absolutely love it
7:27
and that's what we're talking about
7:29
embracing Who real you and that is
7:33
really great care and one particular
7:35
thing you said it just strikes is I am
7:38
NOT my gray hair how often do we all of
7:41
us look at something one of our teachers
7:45
our hair our wrinkles our business or
7:48
anything and things that we are that and
7:52
we're really not and that's part of in
7:55
viewing ourselves is in our uniqueness
7:58
is knowing that who we are is not tied
8:01
to anything external and I will share my
8:05
story so my that one piece that I was
8:10
looking at embracing we're not embracing
8:12
is my wrinkled and mostly a lot of it
8:16
came from my friends and my mom and
8:20
everybody around me continuously telling
8:22
me that I should do something about it
8:25
and that everybody doesn't how come my
8:27
dope and for some reason I don't even
8:31
know why for some reason I was not
8:33
wanting to do anything about it I would
8:35
didn't want to fix it I didn't want to
8:36
hide him and I got one day that every
8:40
single one of my wrinkles is a
8:42
representation of Who I have become the
8:47
learnings of my life the challenges of
8:49
my life the growth and the life well
8:52
lived
8:53
and one great example of how I got one
8:56
of my wrinkles is when my there 19 year
9:00
old daughter decided to go to Israel few
9:04
years ago right in the middle of the war
9:06
she was going with a trip of other
9:09
teenagers and more than half of her
9:11
group cancelled and my entire family
9:16
every single person in my family every
9:18
single person I know we're not only
9:20
trying to convince her not to go there
9:23
were telling me that I should interfere
9:25
stop her from going for bid and that I'm
9:28
a bad mother and if anything happens to
9:30
her I will be responsible and there was
9:34
something that that was the process of
9:36
getting several wrinkles because I was
9:38
dealing with do i how do I handle if
9:42
anything happens with being responsible
9:44
for something like that and what am I
9:46
stand for a myosin for my daughter
9:49
living a life of fear and being told
9:51
what to do or am I stand for hating her
9:55
know that she can make her own choices
9:58
and be empowered and I chose that and I
10:01
told her that she gets to chew and then
10:04
I will stand behind whatever choice she
10:05
makes she ended up going she ended up
10:09
falling in love with travel she is now
10:12
after two summer backpacking trips who's
10:15
getting ready for 16 months traveling
10:18
after she graduates and it has them has
10:22
made the biggest biggest impact in her
10:23
life and that's worth getting wrinkles
10:25
for and keeping those wrinkles I love
10:28
that story I totally love the story and
10:30
i think i told you earlier today when we
10:32
were talking about this webinar I woke
10:34
up this morning and I noticed there was
10:36
a wrinkle in my face it was like this
10:38
little indentation I realized it's part
10:40
of my smile I need to smile and I
10:42
literally said to myself what would
10:44
Alexandra do because you know i I've
10:47
been very blessed I don't have a whole
10:49
lot of wrinkles but there it was this
10:51
morning and I think it was a message
10:52
comic amazing you know what we're all
10:55
going to get wrinkles we're all going to
10:56
embrace this one way or another so we
10:59
have a call to action for all of you
11:01
that are on now and even later what is
11:04
one step that you can do right now
11:06
to further embrace your uniqueness we
11:09
want you to put it in the comment what
11:11
is that one step you can do right now
11:13
everyone has their own unique beauty
11:16
that is just waiting to be expressed and
11:18
we invite you to find yours so the next
11:23
thing would like to talk about is what
11:26
happens when your courageously
11:29
courageously stepping into embracing
11:31
your own uniqueness because it does take
11:33
courage because it does take doing
11:35
something that you haven't possibly done
11:38
before and as you courageous we do that
11:42
you might hear voice and you have the
11:44
sense I can't do that I can't let my
11:49
gray hair know I can let my wrinkles
11:52
show I can't do this exercise routine
11:56
and so on the boys is very creative and
12:01
very convincing and it goes on
12:06
loudspeaker every time we get out of our
12:09
comfort zone so I'm going to put myself
12:13
back here on on the on the camera here
12:16
I'm multitasking so I've got to click
12:20
the button over here so um I've
12:24
completely lost my place here you are
12:28
going to talk about what do you like to
12:30
tell people when they come for guidance
12:32
okay so here is what Thank You Alexandra
12:35
thank God so here is what we propose
12:37
that will maybe support you here one of
12:39
my favorite questions that I ask when
12:42
people ask me for guidance they come to
12:44
me and they say so what do you think I
12:45
always say to them what's the worst-case
12:48
scenario and can you live with it what's
12:50
the worst-case scenario and can you live
12:52
with it so what do I mean by that well
12:55
if you have a tough decision to make you
12:57
want to go in your head maybe write it
12:58
down on a piece of paper what is the
13:00
worst thing that could happen if I
13:02
decide to say yes to this scenario when
13:05
you get to all those things on the list
13:07
and you say can I live with it or can I
13:09
not if you can't live with it then that
13:11
is probably you know your inner mind
13:14
saying to you don't do it but if in fact
13:17
you say the worst case scenario is this
13:19
and I can live with it then go ahead and
13:23
do it jump into it embrace it that's
13:26
great so I have my own little trick I
13:29
adapted a phrase if you can't you must
13:33
and anytime I hear myself say oh I can't
13:39
do it and I hear it often because i been
13:42
sipping into all kind of uncharted
13:44
territories without of the box kind of
13:46
thing and if i hear myself if i hear
13:50
myself say that to myself I know that
13:53
what there is to do is to do exactly the
13:57
thing that I think I can't do and
14:00
sometimes I hear it and I know anytime I
14:04
hear myself say that I know that i am
14:06
going to do it it may not be immediate
14:09
it may take a moment it may take a year
14:12
it may take me getting to the point
14:16
where I can go and do it like one time I
14:19
did one time I heard a like would never
14:21
go jump out of the plane and there it
14:26
was I gotta do it so I did it took a
14:28
year and anything like that we just want
14:32
to make sure that we allow ourselves the
14:33
space to consider that if you think we
14:35
can do it we must doing what we think we
14:39
can't do propels us out of our comfort
14:43
zone and straight into the areas of
14:46
self-expression and growth and that is
14:51
exactly where miracles happen miracles
14:53
of beauty and so flaws we're getting
14:57
some great comments over here I just
14:59
want to put some on the screen right now
15:01
with Valerie you said I'm totally
15:04
comfortable dying my hair and I'm not at
15:08
all ready to embrace my grave that feels
15:10
very congruent with who and what I am
15:12
and i love that this is available to me
15:14
conversely i love that authenticity for
15:17
you is gray and I embrace that as well
15:18
that is so great that way thank you so
15:21
much for sharing your comment I really
15:22
really appreciate it so that's a great
15:27
cup oh that's a great comment valley and
15:32
that's exactly our point
15:33
we're not saying one thing is right or
15:36
one thing is wrong all we're saying
15:38
whatever it is that is uniquely for you
15:43
embraces run with it love it up
15:47
absolutely this morning I put a post up
15:50
on Facebook that said here I was talking
15:52
about authenticity and I realized that
15:54
what I look like was not who I was on
15:56
the inside and somebody responded to
15:58
that and said well what happens though
16:01
if the way you look on the outside is
16:04
not how you feel on the inside it was so
16:07
interesting it totally turned it upside
16:09
down and I know she would tell it she
16:11
basically said she's embracing the Botox
16:13
right now and so my response to her was
16:15
then go for it do whatever it is that
16:18
you need to do exactly what we're
16:20
talking about here do whatever you want
16:22
to do need to do to make you feel great
16:25
about who you are so who of you have
16:28
found yourself in a situation where you
16:30
said to yourself this is too scary I
16:33
can't do it so here's the next call to
16:36
action what is one thing that you are
16:38
afraid to do what one step are you going
16:42
to take today today to start overcoming
16:45
that fear go ahead and put your comments
16:48
right below and then come back tomorrow
16:51
and let us know how you're doing so what
16:54
is it that you're going to do today to
16:55
start overcoming that fear and the last
17:00
nugget or nudge would like to share with
17:02
you is self-love this right you've got
17:07
to love yourself first and then once you
17:11
love yourself once you embrace yourself
17:13
however you are then you can even more
17:17
inspect a limb easily impact whatever it
17:20
is that you want to impact and make
17:22
changes in and so we really invite you
17:27
to do every day do at least one thing to
17:32
love yourself up bonus points for more
17:35
change it out try different things see
17:39
would work for you best for somebody it
17:40
may be long bad somebody else may not
17:43
have a time of space to take a long bath
17:45
but maybe cup o
17:47
t with quiet time for five minutes in
17:48
the morning does the trick whatever it
17:51
is for you uniquely you love yourself up
17:54
and another thing with love for you to
17:57
do is write it right out 10 things you
18:01
