Episode 127: Focus On Things ABOVE, Not Below

What IS the secret sauce to attaining true peace and happiness? 

Today's conversation is designed to SHIFT your PERSPECTIVE and mental/emotional state any time you need to ‘snap out of it!”

At the time of recording, it's the holiday season. 

With that comes a time of connection, celebration and much needed rest for many…. for others, extreme loneliness, pain and added stress. 

Perhaps you are finding yourself on an emotional roller coaster this season. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s happening externally - family matters, logistical planning: who’s going where, financial pressures, who is no longer with us, stuff that needs to be bought. Memories that creep up. 

I was feeling it this morning! There were some heavy things on my heart I needed to work through. 

The recurring message?

Focus on things above, not earthly matters. 

But WHAT exactly does this mean and how do we shift out of the physical when it’s ALL around us?

It's easy to get caught up in the things beyond our control, but this robs us of joy and peace. Colossians 3:2  advise setting our hearts and minds on heavenly things. 

It's not about some distant future or place way out there; it's about embracing higher consciousness right here - right now, and choosing the operating system of heaven. 

As we head into the holidays, let's choose love, joy, peace, patience, and faithfulness—being conduits of the currency of heaven here on earth!

In todays episode we are unpacking:

• Celebrating Small Beginnings: The significance of celebrating micro victories every day to build confidence + momentum + perseverance. I’m back on my feet and running again and it feels amazing! (Do not despise small beginnings! Momentum comes faster than you think)
• Heavenly Currency vs Earthly Currency: The intangible and eternal things that truly bring us life and happiness.
• Words of Wisdom: What it means to set our hearts and minds on heavenly things, adopting a higher level of consciousness and shifting out of lower level concerns.
• The psychology of money meets biblical perspectives on true wealth + joy.
• Actionable Steps to take THIS week! How to apply heavenly currency in daily life, right here - right now IN this holiday season!
