A talk on Enoughness that defines the practice of recognizing one is already enough, explains its four tenets, and leads a workshop exercise asking participants to create personal quotes to capture their present truth.
A song called Perfect Day by a band named New Year Coast. They were some of my students back in the day. Now they're all grown up people. But we'll talk about why I played that song in just a moment.
Kristen: Enoughness is the practice of affirming that you are already indeed enough, in this moment, capable of doing something really miraculous. One of the exercises that we do in Enoughness calibration workshops is to practice of quoting yourself. Do you have any quotes of you? Type them into chat.
Good Saturday, everybody. A fun little bop this morning by a band you never heard of. Drink your water. Morning, Jules. Hey, Colleen. Ah, Luke. How are you, my friend? Oh, clean and jewels drop in the sunshine this morning. All right, let's pause there. That's a song called Perfect Day by a band named New Year Coast. They had a very short career. Well, actually they're still friends, so maybe their career goes on. But they were some of my students back in the day and I asked them to write a song and play a band in a.
In a one act play we were doing. And being the musicians and the yes people that they were, they're like, okay. They came back the next day and this was the song. Now they're all grown up people doing the things that they do. But we'll talk about why I played that song in just a moment. First I want to say good morning, Cadre sphere. How are you doing? I hope you are great, but even if you're not, that is okay too. You're still in the right place if you're on top of the mountain, if you're down in the valley, if you're ready to kick, or if you're like, you know what?
No, I don't got anything that's going to get me out of bed today. Guess what? What if that was enough? Oh my gosh. Kristen. I didn't even think about this. Kristen, did you hear the song I was playing? Turn of events? The song I was playing features Kristen's partner. Kristen's husband didn't even think about that. I should have maybe gathered that since Kristen comes up with her intuitive eating livestream in just about an hour. Kristen, I'll play more of it in a moment. If Mac's around, tell him to gather around.
So on Saturdays, we talk about personal development stuff right in the livestream world. We talk about things that can help you think about who you are versus on Mondays when we talk a lot of professional development and we talk about what you do. So if you look at the title of this live stream, you see it says Enoughness 101. Enoughness is the practice of affirming that you are already indeed enough, in this moment, capable of doing something really miraculous. There's four tenets to this concept, but one of them is simply, you are enough.
And it deals with your ability to be present, your ability to go, hey, right now here's where I am and here's what's going on. And one of the little exercises that we do in Enoughness calibration workshops Is the practice of quoting yourself. You may be like, well, what does that mean? Well, it means this. There's so many times that I see people go, gosh, I was feeling a certain way today. And this quote encapsulates it. And they quote some, you know, famous person or some dead person or some movie or some popular person or some rich person, and they go, ah, here is the quote that explains how I'm feeling.
It points to a little bit of enoughness deficiency. The fact that sometimes we think in order to describe our truth or our reality or our placement or our presence, that we have to find and borrow someone else's words. Now, again, I'm all about quoting other people. I love picking up trinkets and moments and artifacts of other people's lives and weaving them into mine. Great, great tactic. But if you feel that you could never quote yourself, it's a sign potentially that you don't think that you are enough, that your truth is not enough.
So I'd love to know right now. Do you have any quotes of you? Type them into chat. How do you quote yourself? If you're sitting at the barbershop or at the beauty salon and someone's sitting next to you and they're talking about something and have you ever heard yourself go, you know what? I've always had this little saying. And they go, oh, where'd it come from? And you go, I don't know. It's just something I made up. It's a really good sign that you are seeing within yourself, that you are already indeed enough.
I got two that come to mind. Number one, I like to say that you can't cook a turkey faster than you can cook a turkey. I always try to think, I'm like, that come from something, like something else maybe sparked it. But I'm like, no. I think it's just one of those things that I've always said. What does it mean? That things take time. And just because you want something enough, just because you work hard and you commit and you do the thing. Yeah, no, maybe you need to wait 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, 100 years, a thousand years before that thing will be actuality.
I have another one that goes right along with it. Right. Flooding the field doesn't make the corn grow any faster. Things more of the good thing maybe isn't better. Maybe where you are is Kristen, It's.
