About Shine First Today

Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm are incredibly time-consuming. As we agonize over the whys and hows of the things happening in our lives, it simply takes a tremendous amount of time. I like to say, "It takes more time to be stressed out than blessed out." I suffered from debilitating panic attacks and anxiety, and the "medication" did nothing to prevent the panic attacks from happening. After years of anxiety, I began to think about not being alive anymore – I just couldn't take it. It was time for a change. I discovered meditation and began consuming all the information I could about self-guidance and tapping into the higher self. Now, I know it's my soul's purpose to teach people how to follow their own internal guidance system. I refer to this as Inspired Thinking. It's like critical thinking, except you use your heart and your internal guidance system to help you determine the next optimal step for you in any given situation you can find yourself in. There are 3 main benefits to following your own internal guidance system: 1. Your panic attacks, stress, anxiety or overwhelm – become virtually non-existent, they fade, and eventually disappear. 2. You enjoy feeling in balance as you move through your work and through your life 3. You begin to Have, Be or Do anything and everything that you've ever wanted. We all know what a "Red Flag Warning" is, right? It's the absolute knowing that you should stop and run, not walk, to the nearest exit, right? My question became, why wait? Why wait until the universe is screaming at us to help us? Would it be possible to tune into the part of you that is there already, waiting and eager to guide you, loving you and caring for you, delighted by you? You don't have to earn it or be worthy, it's there, right now, at this moment, and it's available to everyone. Can you imagine a life with little to no anxiety, stress, no overwhelm, and the peace and calm of feeling work-life balance for the first time, and then an explosion of excitement as one thing after another line up in your life and carries you towards your soul's purpose? Please join me as we journey together and explore the benefits of Inspired Thinking and following your own internal guidance system. Each episode is designed to give you a "Quick Win."

   Elevate Your Relationships with Kind Words | Speak Positive Series - Part 2

   In this episode of the Shine First Today podcast, we're diving into Part 2 of our "Speak Positive" series: Elevate Your Relationships with Kind Words. This time, we focus on how we can use kind words and positive thoughts to improve our relationships, even with those who might frustrate or trigger us. By shifting our mindset and choosing to focus on positive attributes of others, we can create more harmonious interactions and elevate those relationships. Key Highlights: The power of thinking positively about others, especially those with whom we may have conflicts or tension. Danette shares a personal story of how a friend refused to speak negatively about her daughter-in-law, which served as an inspiration to always take the high road and speak kindly, even in tough situations. The science behind how negative thoughts can harm us internally, and how shifting to positive thinking can foster better emotional health. A discussion on the six aspects of life, with a focus on how positive speech influences our relationships, one of the three external aspects. Tools for managing triggering moments: becoming neutral, not rushing to judgment, and practicing self-reflection before reacting. The importance of recognizing that conflicts often arise from differences in perspective, and that understanding those differences can help improve communication. A reflective exercise from Danette's workshop with Elias Patras that highlights how differing viewpoints can shape how we perceive the same situation. How avoiding negative talk not only protects relationships but also keeps you in a better flow of productivity and emotional balance. Tips for cultivating positive thinking and speaking about others, even during conflicts, for the sake of your own well-being and growth. Takeaways: Speaking kindly about others, even those who frustrate us, helps protect our emotional well-being and enhances relationships. Managing conflict involves understanding different perspectives and working on finding a neutral space before reacting. Positive thinking about others isn't just about them—it’s also about reducing our own stress and anxiety.
