Get To the Root with Rachel Logan

Good morning, Cadre. Hello. I am Rachel Logan. I am your empowerment coach and counselor, and I am here in Dallas, Texas today. I am welcoming you from Dallas, Texas. Welcome. This is the get to the root station, and I'm so excited because I want to share with you something amazing that I'm doing this week in hopes that it will empower you. Okay? So come on in. It is a great opportunity to connect, to get to the roots, and I want you to chime on in. So grab you some water like this. Let me know where you're from, how you're feeling today using an emoji.

Let me know how you are feeling today. I am feeling super excited that I get to talk to you here in Dallas, Texas. So let me tell you why I'm here and what I'm charging you to do for yourself. Okay? So every year at around this time, there is a summit. And as you know, I am a christian counselor, and I empower people to heal using evidence based practices mixed with faith. Okay? So I get to charge myself. I get to be around like minded individuals to take it back to my counseling practice and to myself.

Okay? So welcome, Robert, I'm so happy you are here. Today we're talking about something so significant to our mental health, because a lot of times people come to counseling because they're feeling stuck, right? And a person who feels stuck means that they were once in motion, but then something stopped their progression. I'm gonna say that again. A person who feels stuck was once in progression, but then something stopped their progression. And I want to encourage you today. I want to encourage you to get unstuck by doing something, something so small.

Okay? So just stay tuned. So every year around this time, I get to travel to a summit. And it's the summit of all nations. Yeah. I'm talking about from Korea, BVI, Netherlands, all across the world, we are gathering here to worship. And it is something so significant because we are dropping our responsibilities at home, we are pausing our responsibilities at work. We are saying, hey, I am important. My faith is important. So I need to pause so I can connect with like minded people, so I can soar.

So when a person who's feeling stuck is because one or two things, they're not around people, that's going to push them further. Hello. Hello. Hello. People who are stuck, it's because they're around. They're not around significant people, that will push them to go further. So here I am. I'm in Dallas. I'm talking. I am meeting some people all around the world who we all serve the same God, but we all have different callings and different positions and different assignments. So you may be once in a progression and you find yourself not moving as fast or as quickly as you like.

I'm going to give you one tip. Are you ready for it? Are you ready? Change your zip code. Go somewhere else. Travel. Go find. Go seek out people who are like you, who may be above you, may be more strategic. Maybe it's more on an elevated level than you. Go be in their presence. Okay? Yes, Luke. Be ready. Go be in their presence. Why? Because something in them will sharpen you to go up higher. Getting stuck. It happens to all of us at one point in our lives, but I want to encourage you. Change your zip code.

So every year, I make a vow to myself to change my zip code, even if it's for a day. But for me, I stay here for over four or five days. Why? Because this supercharges me. This lets me know that I can go higher, I can go further, and I can learn something new. When you're stuck, it's because you've been doing the same thing over and over and you're not seeing any results. Right? Another name for that is insanity. So I want to encourage you to get around other people, right? So, yes, this might mean that you might have to plan, you might have to budget your money, you might have to notify your family, your boss, whomever, but it's necessary for your growth.

Stuck. Being stuck is not an option. Let me say that again. Being stuck is not an option. It should not be something that you settle for. No, it is not. So change your area code, get around like minded people, and you're like, man, how do I get around like minded people? Maybe you may feel a little nervous. Maybe you may be hesitant to do that. Let me say this really quick. Bring someone that you love with you. Bring someone along with you, and do it together and do it afraid. Okay? So you go online.

You have an interest in mind. Go research it. Find a conference. Find someone who is doing a teaching, a workshop, a seminar, and you go forth. You might not know a soul there, but it's worth it because you will find yourself there. You will find your interest, you will find your hunger, you will find that thirst. You will find that fire to catapult you out of that suck place to a place of soaring. So, Cadre, those who are listening today, be encouraged. Change your zip code. Go get what you need.

Do not remain stuck. This is a season of propelling you to the next. Okay, I understand. In some states, October, it gets rainy and cold. But listen, I am in Texas, and it is warm and hot. So change your zip code. Get in some sunlight. Go find a teacher. Go find a mentor. Go find a group of people that are like you, that have the same interests that where you can go. Because iron sharpens iron. I'm gonna say that they say that again. Iron sharpens iron. And sometimes when you suck, you need to be sharpened.

And you can get sharpened by being around like minded people, by changing your area code and challenging yourself to do something new. All right, Cadre, I hope you are blessed today. Take this nugget with you. Change your zip code to improve your life, to get unstuck, and to feel great again. Take care, and I'll see you guys next week.
