How to Start Creating Your Life on Purpose (Without Starting Over)

If you’ve realized you’ve been living on autopilot, your first instinct might be to start over.

But real change does not come from starting over. It comes from showing up differently.

You Don’t Need a Reset

Most people think they need:

  • a new plan

  • more motivation

  • a fresh start

But that kind of thinking keeps you stuck in cycles.

What you actually need is a different way of showing up today.

Start With Identity

Creating on purpose begins with deciding who you want to be.

Instead of asking:
What do I feel like doing?

Ask:
Who do I want to be?

Your identity drives your actions.

Choose Your Thinking

Most of your thinking is automatic.

But you can begin choosing it.

When you notice thoughts like:
“This is too hard”
“I’ll start tomorrow”

You can redirect them to:
“I can do hard things”
“I follow through today”

Take One Aligned Action

You don’t need to do everything.

You need one step.

Small, consistent actions create real change over time.

Repeat the Process

Transformation is built through repetition.

You are not trying to be perfect.

You are training yourself to live differently.

You don’t need to start over.

You need to start showing up as the woman you want to become.

One step at a time.

    00:00:03.562 --> 00:00:10.562

    You don't need a new plan, you do not need to fix everything all at once, you just need your next

    00:00:10.568 --> 00:00:12.568

    decision.

    00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:19.200

    Hello, and welcome to the Christian Life Coach Podcast. I'm Shanna, your Christian life coach.

    00:00:19.910 --> 00:00:23.910

    On the podcast, we have been talking about creation.

    00:00:24.763 --> 00:00:26.763

    You are creating your life

    00:00:26.763 --> 00:00:28.768

    Right now.

    00:00:28.769 --> 00:00:34.908

    And you may have realized, if you've been listening to the last couple of episodes,

    00:00:36.402 --> 00:00:38.402

    And if you haven't, definitely go back and listen.

    00:00:39.847 --> 00:00:41.847

    You may have realized…

    00:00:42.504 --> 00:00:46.504

    that you've been creating your life on default.

    00:00:49.058 --> 00:00:52.058

    And you're becoming aware of that.

    00:00:54.004 --> 00:00:56.004

    And… you…

    00:00:56.406 --> 00:00:58.406

    You want to do more than that. So…

    00:00:59.235 --> 00:01:02.235

    Today, I'm talking about the next step.

    00:01:02.887 --> 00:01:04.887

    And how…

    00:01:05.382 --> 00:01:08.382

    to begin creating on purpose.

    00:01:08.888 --> 00:01:10.888

    in a way that is simple,

    00:01:11.189 --> 00:01:13.189

    that is practical?

    00:01:13.828 --> 00:01:15.828

    And doable in your real life.

    00:01:15.846 --> 00:01:17.846

    Not just someday.

    00:01:17.991 --> 00:01:19.991

    But today.

    00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:25.310

    So, in the last two episodes,

    00:01:26.162 --> 00:01:28.162

    like I said, I've been talking about

    00:01:28.225 --> 00:01:31.225

    creation. You are creating your life.

    00:01:32.206 --> 00:01:36.206

    Whether you're doing that by default on autopilot,

    00:01:36.845 --> 00:01:39.845

    Or, on purpose with intention.

    00:01:42.909 --> 00:01:48.909

    And… when we are creating on default, we just keep doing what we've been doing.

    00:01:51.423 --> 00:01:54.423

    And it's not because you're broken, it's not because you don't care,

    00:01:54.827 --> 00:02:00.827

    It's because you've been following the path that your default thoughts have led you on.

    00:02:02.021 --> 00:02:04.021

    You are reacting to your feelings.

    00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:06.240

    Repeating what you've practiced.

    00:02:08.209 --> 00:02:13.209

    And I want to say, before I move on from that, I just want to say that that is okay.

    00:02:13.801 --> 00:02:15.801

    I don't talk about this.

    00:02:16.605 --> 00:02:19.605

    And I don't want you to…

    00:02:20.412 --> 00:02:27.412

    go to a place of shame and regret, and I should have known better, I should have done better.

    00:02:27.423 --> 00:02:29.423

    None of that.

    00:02:29.957 --> 00:02:32.957

    I have an episode, I don't remember the number,

    00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:35.160

    I have an episode about…

    00:02:35.544 --> 00:02:38.544

    going back into the past without…

    00:02:39.185 --> 00:02:44.185

    getting lost in it, and I will link that video at the end of this video.

    00:02:44.268 --> 00:02:46.268

    So you can go back and watch.

    00:02:46.667 --> 00:02:50.667

    about looking at your past, reframing your past,

    00:02:50.667 --> 00:02:53.390

    And that is such helpful work.

    00:02:54.250 --> 00:03:00.250

    Because when you realize that you've been living on autopilot or in default mode,

    00:03:01.727 --> 00:03:07.727

    It can… it can stir some things up, and you could look back and think,

    00:03:07.844 --> 00:03:09.844

    I wish I had done things differently.

    00:03:10.401 --> 00:03:13.401

    And… and you… there is a potential…

    00:03:13.681 --> 00:03:20.681

    to spiral, and regret, and shame, and all of that, and I am… I am not inviting you to do any of that.

    00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:23.600

    I am inviting you to…

    00:03:24.967 --> 00:03:26.967

    use the past as data?

    00:03:26.985 --> 00:03:28.985

    And as information?

    00:03:30.108 --> 00:03:33.108

    to decide how you want to move on into your future.

    00:03:34.223 --> 00:03:38.223

    The only thing that you can change about your past…

    00:03:38.419 --> 00:03:40.419

    is the story that you tell about it.

    00:03:41.409 --> 00:03:44.409

    the way that you think about it. You cannot go back and change

    00:03:44.446 --> 00:03:46.446

    anything.

    00:03:46.587 --> 00:03:49.587

    As much as you would like to, you cannot do that.

    00:03:49.588 --> 00:03:53.037

    And what really helps me

    00:03:53.129 --> 00:03:55.129

    When I…

    00:03:56.354 --> 00:04:01.354

    Um, start going down that path, which happens. I remind myself of

    00:04:02.785 --> 00:04:04.785

    the scripture in Romans 8.28,

    00:04:04.785 --> 00:04:08.048

    God is working all things together for the glory.

    00:04:08.227 --> 00:04:10.227

    for the good.

    00:04:10.810 --> 00:04:18.810

    Of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

    00:04:19.576 --> 00:04:21.576

    all things. He's working it all out for your good.

    00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:25.180

    No matter what it is, all things.

    00:04:25.275 --> 00:04:27.275

    There are no exceptions. So,

    00:04:27.824 --> 00:04:29.824

    If we can just believe God,

    00:04:29.986 --> 00:04:32.986

    at his word, and trust that.

    00:04:33.786 --> 00:04:36.786

    There's no room for shame, blame, regret for the past.

    00:04:38.572 --> 00:04:42.572

    So, looking back, with so much compassion,

    00:04:43.026 --> 00:04:45.026

    And not judging our past self,

    00:04:45.902 --> 00:04:47.902

    With the information that we have now.

    00:04:47.905 --> 00:04:49.905

    that we did not have then.

    00:04:51.045 --> 00:04:53.045

    We can… we can…

    00:04:53.065 --> 00:04:55.065

    release that.

    00:04:55.222 --> 00:04:57.222

    And we…

    00:04:58.109 --> 00:05:01.109

    Have so much compassion for ourselves. We were doing the best we could.

    00:05:01.367 --> 00:05:03.367

    we were doing the best we could.

    00:05:04.363 --> 00:05:06.363

    So, now…

    00:05:07.884 --> 00:05:09.884

    How do…

    00:05:10.588 --> 00:05:12.588

    we move on. How do we…

    00:05:13.310 --> 00:05:15.310

    transition? How do we make the shift?

    00:05:16.238 --> 00:05:18.238

    from living on autopilot,

    00:05:18.706 --> 00:05:20.706

    2. Living on purpose.

    00:05:24.098 --> 00:05:27.098

    And… we don't need to overcomplicate it.

    00:05:28.005 --> 00:05:30.005

    It's really… it's really not that complicated.

    00:05:30.145 --> 00:05:38.145

    It takes practice, and I just want to reiterate, we have been practicing living the way that we've been living

    00:05:38.268 --> 00:05:41.268

    for a long time. We have gotten really good at it.

    00:05:41.863 --> 00:05:43.863

    You get good at what you practice.

    00:05:45.107 --> 00:05:48.107

    And when we start practicing something new,

    00:05:48.165 --> 00:05:50.165

    It feels uncomfortable.

    00:05:51.221 --> 00:05:53.221

    And it might not work as quickly as we want it to.

    00:05:54.211 --> 00:05:57.211

    So we have to commit to it, and we have to keep going.

    00:05:59.047 --> 00:06:01.047

    Until we start to see the results.

    00:06:03.924 --> 00:06:05.924

    And a lot of times when we…

    00:06:06.426 --> 00:06:13.426

    you know, are starting a new practice, or starting something new, we think we have to start all over again, we need a whole new plan, we need to fix everything.

    00:06:13.344 --> 00:06:15.344

    And that is not this.

    00:06:16.718 --> 00:06:18.718

    That's default thinking. All or nothing.

    00:06:19.088 --> 00:06:21.088

    black and white.

    00:06:22.104 --> 00:06:24.104

    Overwhelm.

    00:06:24.268 --> 00:06:30.268

    Which is a sign that your brain is doing its job. When your brain can keep you in overwhelm,

    00:06:31.110 --> 00:06:35.110

    You seek pleasure, you avoid pain, and you exert as little energy as possible.

    00:06:35.296 --> 00:06:39.296

    So, you don't need a reset.

    00:06:39.622 --> 00:06:41.622

    You don't need…

    00:06:41.922 --> 00:06:43.922

    an overhaul.

    00:06:44.446 --> 00:06:46.446

    You just need a shift.

    00:06:46.929 --> 00:06:48.929

    Shift the way.

    00:06:49.366 --> 00:06:52.366

    that you're showing up. One step at a time.

    00:06:54.845 --> 00:06:57.845

    So, step one to living on purpose.

    00:07:00.553 --> 00:07:03.553

    is not making a whole new plan.

    00:07:05.685 --> 00:07:07.685

    It's an identity shift.

    00:07:08.127 --> 00:07:10.127

    Who am I?

    00:07:10.156 --> 00:07:12.156

    Who do I want to be?

    00:07:12.568 --> 00:07:14.568

    Who am I becoming?

    00:07:16.164 --> 00:07:18.164

    And it might be…

    00:07:18.378 --> 00:07:20.378

    I'm a woman who follows through.

    00:07:22.178 --> 00:07:24.178

    I'm a woman who takes care of herself.

    00:07:25.072 --> 00:07:28.072

    I'm a woman who stewards her resources well.

    00:07:29.021 --> 00:07:31.021

    I'm a woman who keeps her word to others,

    00:07:31.031 --> 00:07:33.031

    And to myself.

    00:07:35.288 --> 00:07:43.288

    Whatever that looks like for you. And like I said in the last episode, I sometimes like to put on the top of a piece of paper

    00:07:43.621 --> 00:07:45.621

    I am a woman who…

    00:07:45.621 --> 00:07:51.027

    And then list out all of those… all of those characteristics that I want

    00:07:51.207 --> 00:07:54.207

    to embody. That I want to be

    00:07:54.235 --> 00:07:56.235

    part of my identity.

    00:07:58.024 --> 00:08:00.024

    And your actions…

    00:08:00.638 --> 00:08:06.638

    will always follow your identity. Who you believe yourself to be is going to determine

    00:08:06.884 --> 00:08:08.884

    what you do.

    00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:15.860

    And if you don't decide who you're becoming, then you're gonna default to who you've always been.

    00:08:19.747 --> 00:08:23.747

    And on the identity piece, I just want to, um…

    00:08:25.821 --> 00:08:27.821

    to reinforce…

    00:08:28.299 --> 00:08:31.299

    to remind, our identity is in Christ.

    00:08:31.473 --> 00:08:33.473

    We are made in God's image.

    00:08:35.151 --> 00:08:42.151

    Where God's masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works that He prepared in advance for us to do.

    00:08:42.621 --> 00:08:45.621

    We are his beloved. You are His chosen.

    00:08:49.605 --> 00:08:52.605

    You are loved with an everlasting love.

    00:08:52.605 --> 00:08:55.310

    That is your identity. You are loved.

    00:08:58.805 --> 00:09:00.805

    how you walk that out?

    00:09:01.103 --> 00:09:03.103

    you get determined. Get to determine.

    00:09:07.706 --> 00:09:09.706

    So, your…

    00:09:09.643 --> 00:09:11.643

    thinking…

    00:09:12.728 --> 00:09:15.728

    has been, and will…

    00:09:16.206 --> 00:09:19.206

    create your experience.

    00:09:19.591 --> 00:09:21.591

    of your life.

    00:09:22.225 --> 00:09:24.225

    Your experience of your relationships,

    00:09:24.646 --> 00:09:26.646

    of the work that you do,

    00:09:28.849 --> 00:09:33.849

    And most of the time, our thinking is left unexamined. We don't question it.

    00:09:35.666 --> 00:09:38.666

    We don't notice, we don't pay attention to what we're thinking.

    00:09:42.001 --> 00:09:44.001

    And now, we're going to make the shift…

    00:09:45.809 --> 00:09:47.809

    to pay attention to what we're thinking.

    00:09:48.383 --> 00:09:50.383

    We're going to think about…

    00:09:50.384 --> 00:09:52.384

    what we're thinking about.

    00:09:54.803 --> 00:09:56.803

    we get to choose

    00:09:56.831 --> 00:09:58.831

    how we think.

    00:10:00.824 --> 00:10:02.824

    So, you might…

    00:10:02.824 --> 00:10:06.302

    Even in this work, okay, even in this work, if you're deciding

    00:10:07.262 --> 00:10:09.262

    Okay, I'm… I'm gonna go all in on this, Shanna.

    00:10:09.394 --> 00:10:11.394

    I am going to…

    00:10:13.185 --> 00:10:17.185

    live on purpose, and I'm gonna follow your steps.

    00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:22.759

    And you might start taking the steps, and then your brain says, this is too hard.

    00:10:23.660 --> 00:10:29.660

    It's too hard. And if you're living on default, you're gonna… you're gonna go like, yeah, it's too hard.

    00:10:29.661 --> 00:10:31.581

    never mind.

    00:10:31.811 --> 00:10:33.811

    What's next?

    00:10:34.424 --> 00:10:36.424

    And you're gonna default back to…

    00:10:37.843 --> 00:10:39.843

    the way that you have been practicing doing things.

    00:10:41.479 --> 00:10:43.479

    But, when we are working,

    00:10:44.496 --> 00:10:47.496

    on intentional creation,

    00:10:48.005 --> 00:10:52.005

    Then we remind ourselves, when this is too hard pops up,

    00:10:52.005 --> 00:10:54.005

    You go, oh…

    00:10:54.122 --> 00:10:56.122

    I do hard things.

    00:10:56.145 --> 00:10:58.145

    I can do hard things.

    00:11:00.483 --> 00:11:02.483

    Turns out I do hard things all the time.

    00:11:05.439 --> 00:11:07.439

    So the default thought is, this is too hard.

    00:11:08.397 --> 00:11:10.397

    The intentional thought is, I do hard things.

    00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:12.560

    I was made to do hard things.

    00:11:15.237 --> 00:11:17.237

    The default thought might be, I'll start tomorrow.

    00:11:18.963 --> 00:11:20.963

    And the intentional thought is…

    00:11:22.819 --> 00:11:24.819

    I'm gonna do what I said I was gonna do today.

    00:11:25.780 --> 00:11:27.780

    I'm a woman who keeps her word to herself.

    00:11:29.563 --> 00:11:31.563

    And this isn't pretending.

    00:11:32.146 --> 00:11:36.146

    This is directing your mind. This is instructing your mind

    00:11:36.652 --> 00:11:38.652

    of the person that you want to be,

    00:11:38.653 --> 00:11:43.087

    And the actions that you want to take from being that kind of a person.

    00:11:48.388 --> 00:11:50.388

    And start small.

    00:11:52.526 --> 00:11:57.526

    not everything at once you overhaul your whole life. You don't need to make a lot of changes, change everything.

    00:11:57.889 --> 00:12:00.889

    You don't have to, like, don't expect perfection.

    00:12:01.366 --> 00:12:04.366

    Because perfection is unattainable.

    00:12:06.058 --> 00:12:13.058

    And when you expect perfection, perfection, and you think you need to change everything all at once, you get overwhelmed, and then you don't do anything.

    00:12:13.086 --> 00:12:15.086

    So pick one thing.

    00:12:16.561 --> 00:12:18.561

    You can ask yourself, what?

    00:12:18.841 --> 00:12:20.841

    Would the woman that I am becoming…

    00:12:20.964 --> 00:12:23.964

    do today? What would she do today?

    00:12:24.684 --> 00:12:26.684

    That woman that keeps her word to herself.

    00:12:27.689 --> 00:12:33.689

    that woman that is taking care of herself and stewarding her resources well. What one thing would she do today?

    00:12:35.463 --> 00:12:37.463

    And then do that.

    00:12:38.184 --> 00:12:43.184

    Small steps done consistently over time create amazing results.

    00:12:47.325 --> 00:12:49.325

    And then…

    00:12:49.968 --> 00:12:51.968

    practice. Repetition.

    00:12:52.565 --> 00:12:55.565

    over and over and over and over.

    00:12:55.888 --> 00:12:57.888

    And…

    00:12:59.409 --> 00:13:07.409

    You might not see results for a while. You might not see a change for a while, but give it time, practice, determine that you're going to practice becoming the woman who…

    00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:12.740

    takes care of herself, keeps her word to herself, whatever it is.

    00:13:12.864 --> 00:13:14.864

    You don't just try it once.

    00:13:16.186 --> 00:13:19.186

    This is default. Going back to the default practicing.

    00:13:19.262 --> 00:13:23.262

    You try it once, you don't feel like it, you give up, you stop.

    00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:27.899

    We're not doing default anymore, we're doing intentional. We're living on purpose.

    00:13:28.243 --> 00:13:30.243

    So, what is that one thing that you're going to do?

    00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:36.279

    And then remind yourself, I'm doing this because I'm becoming a woman who

    00:13:37.829 --> 00:13:40.829

    Keeps her word, who takes care of herself, whatever it is.

    00:13:40.967 --> 00:13:42.967

    keep going.

    00:13:43.841 --> 00:13:47.841

    creation on purpose is not a one and done.

    00:13:49.841 --> 00:13:51.841

    It's not a magic wand, it's not a snap of a finger.

    00:13:52.546 --> 00:13:57.546

    It's a repeated practice, over and over and over until it becomes

    00:13:57.567 --> 00:13:59.567

    a natural rhythm in your life.

    00:14:01.478 --> 00:14:06.478

    You're not just trying to get it right, you're retraining yourself, you're retraining your brain.

    00:14:08.193 --> 00:14:12.193

    You are… you're basically during… doing…

    00:14:12.866 --> 00:14:14.866

    Brain surgery. You are…

    00:14:15.643 --> 00:14:17.643

    changing your neural pathways.

    00:14:17.842 --> 00:14:19.842

    You are redirecting

    00:14:21.145 --> 00:14:25.145

    the… whatever goes on in your brain.

    00:14:25.645 --> 00:14:27.645

    Neuroplasticity. You are…

    00:14:27.645 --> 00:14:29.745

    you're digging new trenches.

    00:14:30.768 --> 00:14:35.768

    to create new ways of thinking, and it takes time and repetition, and repetition,

    00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:37.783

    And repetition.

    00:14:41.028 --> 00:14:46.028

    And when you decide to do this, and you start taking action, and you start this practice,

    00:14:47.906 --> 00:14:49.906

    Here's a pro tip.

    00:14:50.287 --> 00:14:52.287

    Expect discomfort.

    00:14:53.843 --> 00:14:56.843

    Don't be surprised, don't be shocked. What?

    00:14:57.122 --> 00:14:59.122

    I thought this was going to be easy!

    00:14:59.890 --> 00:15:01.890

    It's not.

    00:15:02.330 --> 00:15:05.330

    Might be simple, but not necessarily easy.

    00:15:05.622 --> 00:15:07.622

    Discomfort is going to come.

    00:15:07.623 --> 00:15:11.803

    Your brain wants comfort. Your brain wants easy.

    00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:14.820

    So when you start creating on purpose,

    00:15:15.327 --> 00:15:21.327

    And breaking the default patterns, your brain's like, no! Danger! Danger, Will Robbins!

    00:15:21.345 --> 00:15:23.345

    Danger!

    00:15:23.942 --> 00:15:25.942

    You'll come against resistance.

    00:15:26.223 --> 00:15:28.223

    You'll come against doubt.

    00:15:29.247 --> 00:15:31.247

    discomfort in many forms.

    00:15:33.645 --> 00:15:35.645

    And that does not mean…

    00:15:35.645 --> 00:15:38.459

    that it's not working. It means you're doing something new.

    00:15:39.004 --> 00:15:41.004

    Means you're on the right track.

    00:15:42.947 --> 00:15:44.947

    I love… I heard…

    00:15:45.422 --> 00:15:47.422

    a quote recently.

    00:15:47.524 --> 00:15:49.524

    from the book, um…

    00:15:50.562 --> 00:15:53.562

    Anne of the Island, part of the Anne of Green Gables series.

    00:15:54.087 --> 00:15:58.087

    And Anne was asked what she was learning in college.

    00:15:58.754 --> 00:16:00.754

    And she said, ugh.

    00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:03.379

    She said, I have learned

    00:16:03.647 --> 00:16:07.647

    to view every small hindrance as a jest.

    00:16:09.421 --> 00:16:11.421

    And every large hindrance

    00:16:12.484 --> 00:16:14.484

    as…

    00:16:14.662 --> 00:16:16.662

    Oh my goodness, what was it?

    00:16:17.238 --> 00:16:21.238

    The small… small hindrances were adjust, just a joke.

    00:16:22.264 --> 00:16:27.264

    And the larger hindrances were evidence that victory was on its way, something like that.

    00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:33.560

    So, we are going to experience discomfort. We are going to experience resistance.

    00:16:33.583 --> 00:16:35.583

    And it will come in many forms.

    00:16:36.266 --> 00:16:41.266

    So be prepared for it. And then when you notice it, like, oh, there it is, I was waiting for you.

    00:16:41.280 --> 00:16:43.280

    I was expecting you.

    00:16:44.184 --> 00:16:46.184

    And then you just remind myself… yourself.

    00:16:47.288 --> 00:16:49.288

    This isn't hard, it's just new.

    00:16:49.903 --> 00:16:51.903

    Doesn't mean it's not working.

    00:16:54.760 --> 00:16:56.760

    I'm… I am becoming a woman who follows through.

    00:16:56.841 --> 00:16:58.841

    And you keep going.

    00:17:02.164 --> 00:17:07.164

    And again, I just… I want to reiterate, I know I've been saying this a lot, and

    00:17:07.427 --> 00:17:10.427

    these episodes, but Romans 12.22.

    00:17:10.570 --> 00:17:12.570

    Or, sorry, Romans 12, 2.

    00:17:12.761 --> 00:17:18.761

    Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. This is active, intentional, intentional participation.

    00:17:18.762 --> 00:17:21.059

    in the process of transformation.

    00:17:24.773 --> 00:17:27.773

    God does the transformation… does the transforming.

    00:17:28.044 --> 00:17:31.044

    And we participate by the way that we're thinking.

    00:17:31.266 --> 00:17:34.266

    what we're focusing on, our decision-making.

    00:17:34.943 --> 00:17:37.943

    the actions that we're taking. That is our participation.

    00:17:38.883 --> 00:17:40.883

    And we do.

    00:17:40.947 --> 00:17:43.947

    what is in our control? What is our responsibility?

    00:17:44.447 --> 00:17:46.447

    And then we release…

    00:17:46.469 --> 00:17:48.469

    the rest to God.

    00:17:48.472 --> 00:17:50.472

    The rest is up to God.

    00:17:54.326 --> 00:17:56.326

    So,

    00:17:57.341 --> 00:17:59.341

    I'm going to give you some practical application.

    00:18:04.708 --> 00:18:06.708

    Today…

    00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:10.819

    Write down, I am a woman who?

    00:18:13.465 --> 00:18:17.465

    Whatever that is, I'm a woman who follows through, I woman who takes care of herself.

    00:18:18.005 --> 00:18:23.005

    Um, I am a woman who shows up fully to live her best life,

    00:18:23.647 --> 00:18:25.647

    Um…

    00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.319

    I am a woman who takes impeccable care of herself.

    00:18:29.383 --> 00:18:31.383

    Whatever it is…

    00:18:32.365 --> 00:18:35.365

    write down your IM statement.

    00:18:35.481 --> 00:18:38.481

    And then choose one area of your life.

    00:18:39.527 --> 00:18:42.527

    health, home, relationships,

    00:18:42.523 --> 00:18:44.523

    mindset…

    00:18:45.223 --> 00:18:50.223

    And then decide one action that you're going to take in that area,

    00:18:50.603 --> 00:18:53.603

    To reinforce your IM statement.

    00:18:57.143 --> 00:18:59.143

    Decide how much water you're gonna drink every day.

    00:18:59.379 --> 00:19:01.379

    go for a walk. Clean one space.

    00:19:01.803 --> 00:19:03.803

    follow through on one thing, whatever it is.

    00:19:03.923 --> 00:19:05.923

    And then do it again tomorrow.

    00:19:06.477 --> 00:19:09.477

    And then do it again the next day, and then do it again the next day.

    00:19:09.746 --> 00:19:14.746

    And on the day that you forget to do it, or you're not being intentional, and you default back,

    00:19:14.747 --> 00:19:18.116

    Don't beat yourself up. Just do it… do it when you remember.

    00:19:18.295 --> 00:19:20.295

    Do it the next day.

    00:19:21.393 --> 00:19:24.393

    Remember that small steps taken over time

    00:19:26.442 --> 00:19:28.442

    create amazing results.

    00:19:28.903 --> 00:19:33.903

    Consistently. Small steps taken consistently over time create amazing results.

    00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:43.210

    You do not need to become a completely different person. You are not going to be a different person. You're going to be the same person. You are you.

    00:19:44.282 --> 00:19:46.282

    You're going to be an upgraded version.

    00:19:46.391 --> 00:19:48.391

    of you.

    00:19:49.366 --> 00:19:52.366

    And that takes practice.

    00:19:53.063 --> 00:19:55.063

    Becoming the woman that you want to become.

    00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.000

    One thought at a time, one decision at a time, one action at a time,

    00:20:01.588 --> 00:20:06.588

    And remember, whether you're doing it on default or intentionally,

    00:20:07.856 --> 00:20:09.856

    you're not just living your life, you are creating it.

    00:20:10.129 --> 00:20:12.129

    So,

    00:20:12.895 --> 00:20:14.895

    Let's start doing it on purpose. Live on purpose.

    00:20:16.507 --> 00:20:19.507

    And don't forget, I have a planner called Live On Purpose.

    00:20:20.621 --> 00:20:23.621

    For life… it's life on purpose, a 90-day planner,

    00:20:23.622 --> 00:20:27.795

    It's linked in the show notes. I have an amazing book called

    00:20:27.795 --> 00:20:34.867

    self-care is stewardship. It's a 31-day devotional. This will help you to start living your life on purpose.

    00:20:38.300 --> 00:20:40.300

    Thank you so much for being here.

    00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:43.859

    I am so honored to have you listening,

    00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:50.000

    I would greatly appreciate if you would be willing to give me a 5-star review.

    00:20:50.886 --> 00:20:54.886

    Write a review, like, share, subscribe.

    00:20:55.262 --> 00:20:58.262

    all the things, it helps to get

    00:20:58.373 --> 00:21:00.373

    the podcast pushed out.

    00:21:00.854 --> 00:21:02.854

    And I would love to hear from you.

    00:21:04.630 --> 00:21:09.630

    Send me a message on Instagram, or Facebook, or Substack. I love Substack.

    00:21:09.630 --> 00:21:16.029

    Um, send me an email, hello at shannopiser.com. The link is in the show notes for that, too. I would love to hear from you.

    00:21:16.043 --> 00:21:18.043

    What are you thinking of this?

    00:21:18.557 --> 00:21:20.557

    And, um, or…

    00:21:21.418 --> 00:21:23.418

    What… what would you like to hear about?

    00:21:23.736 --> 00:21:27.736

    What is something that you would like me to tackle on the podcast? I would love to hear from you.

    00:21:30.597 --> 00:21:34.597

    Thank you so much for being here, and remember that life coaching

    00:21:34.598 --> 00:21:36.662

    is life-changing.

    00:21:37.061 --> 00:21:39.061

    One renewed thought at a time.
