Energetic Affirmations for Joyful Movement and Action

We are having our first live event tonight, Thursday, July 20th, at 6pm at the Central Library in Downtown Los Angeles. It's first come first serve with limited seating so try to be there by 5:30pm! This episode marks our one-year anniversary for the podcast! We created this podcast to honor and celebrate Bruce Lee's philosophy and share it with the world. Thank your for listening and going on this journey with us. We wanted to celebrate the one-year anniversary and recognize the 44th anniversary of Bruce Lee's passing by completing the Bruce Lee Podcast Challenge for two weeks. When we shared the challenge, we worried that people might not participate, but so many of you completed it. We got such an overwhelming response to the challenge that it's taking us much longer to go through all the entries, and we won't be able to pick just one winner. Your accomplishments, roadblocks, and leveling up have truly astounded and moved us; you blew us out of the water. We applaud you Bruce Lee Podcast Community! Since we can't pick just one winner, over the coming weeks we will pick several winners. Each winner will receive the prize, a conversation with us, and a chance to be on the podcast. Even if you don't win the prize, we read so many wonderful Bruce Lee moments you should stay tuned into future episodes because you might hear your name on the podcast as our Bruce Lee moment. Shannon and Sharon both did the Bruce Lee Podcast Challenge, and shared their experiences on this episode. Shannon's Affirmations: 1."Be": Rather than striving for some perfect expression, or impression, in each moment I will simply be. I can fill the space with my energy by radiating my being-ness because I am enough as I am. 2."Natural Action": Knowing that I am easily tired by forceful actions, when I do act I will take the most organic and natural route for my soul, so that I may flow with rather than against my own stream. 3."Intention": Knowing that my soul is fed when I am purposeful, I will imbue my actions and plans with meaningful intentions, so that no matter what I am doing, whether resting or working etc., I am doing so with deliberate awareness. These three affirmations work together. Shannon used all of the action items together, the "I'd feel better in my body if…" and "Letting others be," and they became affirmations as well. Shannon's second action item was "I'll feel better in my body if I meditate everyday." She also had a second one: "I'll feel better in my body if I were to slow down and eat more thoughtfully, and chew my food more thoroughly." Sharon's Affirmations: 1."I love my body! It's the source of creativity, connection and outrageous pleasure!" 2."I am so blessed. I am so loved by the love of my life. My children are healthy, happy and flourishing. I am free to create anything I want. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" 3."Today will be a day of abundance, magic and joy. All green lights and delights!" Sharon's second action item of "I would feel better in my body if…" was based off a quote by Michael Pollan: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." Sharon adjusted the quote to be personal to her: "Eat delicious food, mostly plants. Taste each bite and enjoy!" Her other action item was "Move my body once a day in a joyous way!" Harmony action item: "Letting others be." The last action item of "Letting others be," was challenging and illuminating. You expend energy when you judge, rant and rave, so when you minimize those thoughts, you actually conserve energy. When you get anxious and stressed about other people's choices you amp yourself up into a frenzy of negative energy. If you just turn the volume down and let them be, you can save energy and feel better. Just meditating on the simple idea of letting others be provides you with great relief and freedom. We're honored that you are listening, participating and growing with Bruce Lee's wisdom. Thank you for co-creating this show with us. Much love, Shannon & Sharon
