Charis Your Life with Charis Santillie

Instead of making decisions based on what “makes sense,” I invite you to tap into your other senses to help you live the life you secretly crave. Often, we rely solely on our analytical minds to make choices, but doing so usually limits our understanding of the opportunities that truly align with our desires. In this episode, we consider a hallway of doors, as I encourage you to embrace your senses, trust your gut feelings, and acknowledge your intuition in decision-making. There is so much power available to us when we listen to our other senses and not just our minds.What You’ll Learn:- Understand the concept of using multiple senses, intuition, and gut feelings to make choices.- Discover the value of embracing decisions that don't always make sense on paper.- Explore the idea of a "choose your own adventure" life where various doorways are available for exploration.- How science has recently proven that we have a sixth senseUncover the secrets to more mindful and intuitive decision-making. Join me as we navigate a hallway of doors, embracing choices that resonate with our senses and open up new, exciting pathways. 🚪✨Resources: - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

In this episode, I take you on a journey through the nostalgic experience of attending my 30-year high school reunion in Richland, Washington. I also share poignant details of my senior year back in 1993 and how my community’s connection to the Hanford site, a significant piece of history tied to the ending of World War II, influenced our senior class gift back to the school...As President of my senior class, I led a project to raise $21,000 for a massive 3,200 sq. ft. mural to be painted and affixed to the exterior wall of our gymnasium to commemorate the “Day's Pay” B-17 airplane. Listen in to hear a touching story of unity by 51,000 Hanford site workers during World War II as they gave up a day’s pay in order to donate a B-17 to the war effort. The mural, painted by artist Pablo Soto, unveiled the legacy of the “Day's Pay” and served as a symbol of both our community’s and school's history.Transitioning to the reunion, I recount the emotional rollercoaster of reconnecting with classmates after three decades.

In this episode, I talk about the immense pressure we put on ourselves based on our age, plus the expectations society imposes on us. Many of us have regrets, guilt, and self-criticism connected with our age. However, there's a fresh perspective that can liberate us. I was recently introduced to the concept of considering age as levels rather than ‘years old.’ Drawing inspiration from video games, I cover how we can choose our experiences and progress to higher levels in life. This reframe can help shed the heavy weight associated with age and allow us to embrace a more empowering and enjoyable journey.What You’ll Learn:- The impact of societal expectations and personal judgments tied to age- Embracing the idea of age as levels for a more empowering mindset around aging- The analogy of life as a video game- Overcoming patterned, negative thoughts about aging through a playful and lighthearted approachWe’ve heard the phrase “age is just a number;” what if you now view it as an opportunity to level up and embrace new experiences, like we would in a game? Resources: - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

In this episode, we delve into the concept of how to "shake it off,” both literally and metaphorically. Shaking is a natural way for animals to process adrenaline and cortisol during fight or flight states, and it can be applied to help us move emotions through our bodies. We discuss how fear can get trapped within us, leading to long-term tension and anxiety. By incorporating intentional shaking and movement, we can give our nervous system a cue to shift our internal energy. This practice can support your overall well-being and help you transition from stressful moments to a calmer state.What You’ll Learn:- The importance of acknowledging and processing emotions in our bodies- How shaking and intentional movement can help release emotions and tension- The benefits of incorporating regular physical movement into our sedentary lifestyles- Practical tips for shaking it offResources: - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (And Stop Sacrificing Your Sanity, Personal Space, or Social Life) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/
