WOMEN SIPPING ON LIFE (with doctor shannon‪)‬ Dr. Shannon Gulbranson

Have you been swallowing cement lately?
This is a question I’ve asked countless numbers of patients over the years.
Yes, I’ve palpated backs that felt as though they had been replaced with a chunk of cement.
“Issues in your tissues” is what I like to call it.
We’ve all experienced the discomfort of tight muscles.
BUT…
There’s another form of issues in our tissues, and it’s like cement in the heart.
You may be suffering from it.
It's caused by the cement of JUDGMENT.
Are you judgmental?
You may not think so.
I didn't think I was either until I was asked this question...
Do you think you know why others do what they do, and judge what you THINK their intentions are?
If so, it's judgment. And if it's in your heart long enough it can lead to a hardened heart.
Today's the day to STOP DRINKING CEMENT, AND SET YOURSELF (AND OTHERS) FREE.
Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)
TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP
Where have you been judging yourself...what area of your life?
Who else have you been judging?
Ask yourself this: Is there another way for me to see this?
Set yourself free today, my dear.

Perhaps you're sipping on WHINE...whining on your "poor me" story or you're sipping on wine, trying to numb your pain. Today I show you what to do about it...
I know you're hurting at some level. Where Are You Hurting? In this episode, you're going to learn 4 steps to begin the process of caring for your hurt.
We're all heard that hurt people hurt people. And there are a lot of people hurting.
Are you one of them?
No matter where you're hurting, you must discover the CAUSE of your hurt.
1. Cause.
Get to the root cause of your hurt. 
Pain is not your problem, but the cause of it is.
Then you must...
2. Acknowledge the truth.
And remember, if it can't be interpreted at least 2 different ways, it's probably not true.
Are you willing to see TRUTH from more than one perspective?
If so, then it's time to...
3. Relearn some things.
Perhaps UNLEARNING some old things.
Relearning new patterns. Beliefs. Behaviors.
Then...
4.Engage in being the solution.
Stop looking for the solution, and BE the solution.
This, my dear, is what you do to C.A.R.E. for yourself...and your HURTS.
It's start here.
Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)
TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP
Write down where you’re hurting right now. Is it physically? Mentally? Spiritually? Emotionally? Financially?
Tell me where you hurt.
Then write a bold statement of declaration that you’re absolutely committed to getting to the bottom of it — to get to the cause of your hurt. To uncover and discover the cause, so you can seek out and become the solution.
You can do it, my dear. And remember, you're NOT alone.
Thank you for being here, and allowing me to SIP ON LIFE with you.

Fierce and Fear may start off sounding the same…until you feel her roar. The question is, have you lost your roar?
Do you feel as though you’ve lost your fierce? Your strength? Your force? Your power? Do you feel like you’ve lost your way?
No worries…because today I share 4 discoveries that can change everything.
Here’s how to locate it.
Think about this, Lady Lion, perhaps it's because of one of these...
1. Lost - You’ve lost your way.
How do you gain back your ground? How do you identify your “found?”
Start with the truth that you FEEL lost.
Then locate yourself.
Remember what you believe, desire, and trust.
2. Lack - You feel as though you don’t have, or you’re missing, something.
Perhaps it’s information, or a relationship?
OR…TRUST?
You haven’t trusted yourself, the process, others…or maybe you haven’t even trusted God.
There is a trust issue that’s led to lack in your life.
What it takes to move from lack to abundance is focus and intense faith…in the process…what you believe, desire, and in whom you trust.
Do you trust YOURSELF?
Hope is belief, desire, and trust.
And guess what? Faith is the substance of what you hope for.
This will lead you to focus, and have the faith necessary to actually get your FIERCE back.
3. Love. Maybe you haven’t yet discovered what you really LOVE.
Excuses are oftentimes a symptom of not really being as “into it” as you say you are.
You’re doing it because you think you “should” be doing it. OR…
It’s a good idea, a maybe…"woulda, coulda, shoulda."
It may sound like a good idea, but it’s not YOUR call.
It’s not YOUR true love.
It’s not your INSPIRED place — YOUR life’s work.
If this is true...
Then it’s NOT for you. Even if it’s a great thing.
If you’re not in love with it…set yourself free!
It’s time for you to get HONEST with yourself.
It’s okay for you to NOT be ALL iNTO it.
ADMIT IT.
QUIT PRETENDING.
Allow yourself to see the truth.
To know the truth, walk in it, and live out the truth.
Because knowledge of the truth sets you free.
Why?
When you live in truth, you stop carrying around the heaviness of all the “woulda, coulda, shoulda,” and actually get down to business.
You step into the freedom that’s available — the fierce nature of who you are.
4. Lazy. Yes, you simply may be lazy.
You may want it ALL without doing any work.
Is this true? 
Are you feeling lazy?
You must take action.
Stop saying you want, you want, you want. Because it will keep you in want.
You must tap into your desire.
When you do — along with your INSPIRE, and inspired inspiration — you’ll tap into a power, and energy to actually get the work done.
The do. That is who. Which is YOU, my dear.
It’s time to reclaim your FIERCE.
Look at each of these areas and identify which one (or ones) requires your attention.
What’s asking for your attention?
What are you committed to giving your focus and attention to, and where are you ALL IN to sharing your heart and soul…your undivided attention and care?

TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP
What do you desire to DO right now, but for some reason you’ve felt weak and uncommitted in following through and getting the results you desire?
Write it down.
Circle it.
Take a look.
Which one of these L-Words is YOU?
Make a commitment today with laser sharp focus.
That Lady Lion isn’t missing.
That FIERCE is in there.
You must be willing to express the creative nature and power that is uniquely you, my dear!

Please don't die, or wait for someone else to die, before you make this ONE VITAL DECISION...
Don't wait until you have an annoying alarm — or worse yet, a devastating wake up call — to begin pouring out what's inside you.
Don't take your gift(s) to the grave with you!
What’s it going to take for you to absolutely wake up, and start living your life fully engaged, fully present, fully committed, and fully focused while here on planet earth?
What’s in you? What gift, message, uniqueness is in you — that full expression of who you are?
What’s in you that you’ve been holding back, shutting down, and NOT letting out?
IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP.
CONSIDER THIS YOUR WAKE UP CALL TODAY. WAKE UP, WOMAN...
If you desire to live your dreams, you must wake up and stop sleeping through your life.
Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)
TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP
If you were to be lying in your grave right now, what's the ONE thing that you'd WISH you had shared — poured out of you — while you were ALIVE on planet earth?
Begin to fully express it today.
Care enough to share what's on your heart.
