How to get motivated, and why conscious people often lose motivation.
Переглядів 761Місяць тому
Losing motivation is real, and for many spiritually awake and conscious folks, it can be very disorientating to suddenly have low or no motivation. What if chasing the rewards of tomorrow, the typical "carrot," or running from pain and discomfort (the stick) just doesn't motivate anymore? How will we move and create when the usual motivations fall flat? If you feel a bit lost in a no-man's land...

Your Wisdom Matters! But What if You aren't tuning in to Real Inner Wisdom?

Colleen-Joy, MCC Master Coach, shares an inspiring, challenging message to motivate us to find our inner wisdom because it matters. But what if we are tuning into the mind instead of real inner wisdom? She argues that wisdom (at least how she teaches) is not knowledge or thoughts but something deeper and closer to true seeing and being. colleen-joy.com

....trying to...as a clue for polarity...., just realizing that your enneagrams start with that! beautiful, dear Colleen -
Ah yes what a great insight, "trying" is for sure the driver of the personality polarity. Big love 💜
Coll your story, your experience and then all the beautiful teachings and tools that came out of all of it to empower people (like me), has been so transformative and powerful. Doing the Master Coach program with ILS is changing my life on all levels. You are such a light and inspiration and I am so very grateful that I discovered your teachings that have been transforming my life. What a beautiful light you are! Thank you for the powerful teaching on Being vs Doing. It's been an amazing lightbulb moment for me as an Enneagram 3 to realize I'm here to BE and that beautiful apples and apple blossoms will come from my being 🥰💜
Gosh Natalie, your kind words move me greatly. May your Apple Tree Being continue to shine with your beautiful soul light. 💜
Thank you Colleen, very inspiring! Indeed, first of all you need to understand who you are and to get ride of your "masks"; i.e, to "be your true self". Not an easy task, but certainly worth the efforts! On may journey the Enneagramm was of great help to do so.
It's my pleasure Patrik. I agree, it starts with who you are then the masks can fall. The Enneagram also because a valuable tool for me in later years. Realizing the personality is in me, I am not in it was freeing. Then I could care for it with love, but not take it as the self.
Beautiful❤
Thanks AnaMaria = glad it was helpful
This is so touching, dear Colleen. Your words go straight to my heart.❤
From heart to heart Caroline ❤❤.
You have always been my inspiration and one of my favorite teachers since your Academy times. Loads of love.
I remember the Academy days with gratitude, thanks Anka, lovely to connect here. Appreciate you.
@@ColleenJoy 💕
Being vs. Doing. So simple, yet so profound and true. Beautiful Col, as always, thank you for sharing your journey and wisdom. ❤
Isn't it just. Being vs Doing, such an honest mistake, and yet when we switch these around and place being first, in its true place, everything changes. So much love.
Thank you 🩷
It's my heart's pleasure Rachel
Ah this is so inspiring! Thank you!
Rachel you are so welcome. Appreciate the comment. Wasn't sure about showing the getting choked up parts, but its the truth. So grateful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
@@annmarinestarkes8451 it's my real pleasure 🙏🏻 may your Apple Tree 🌳 grow and flourish
Beautiful! Thank you ❤❤❤
A such a real pleasure, thanks for the kind comment. Much appreciated.
Much needed message. I lost my motivation many years ago although from outside nobody would guess, I am a very active person. Things got unbearable when my husband passed this January. My only option is living in the moment and try to be present. Now I will try to remember your message and infuse with love my everyday actions.
That's incredibly difficult, my heart goes to you. So appreciate your sharing, respect and love to you as you heal.
What a wonderful and timely message. Thank you Colleen. So much wisdom here!
I'm so very pleased the message landed for you, thanks for the kind words. @liveyourdashcoach - such an interesting brand. Let me know what other content you'd like for you or those you serve.
A beautiful message. Thank you Colleen.
You are so welcome Annette, makes it worthwhile to hear how it lands. In appreciation.
Thank you Colleen, your message has come with perfect timing, of course! I'm exhausted from taking the 'stick' and 'carrot' approach, and just as I sit here thinking "What now?" your message appears and has motivated me to take a different approach. I am truly grateful that you popped into my inbox today. Thank you.
I just love the synchronicity of wisdom, am so grateful Evelyn. I recall when I published my first book way back in 1998, folks would tell me how the book fell off the shop shelf, or they felt moved to search for names with "joy" etc. Glad this was in your inbox for you.
I love this message, Colleen. I finally feel I am moving into this place. The carrot hasn’t worked for a very long time, and I have stopped using a stick to try and motivate myself…. Now it’s time for LoVe to move me ❤️
A Susan, YES! Now it's time for Love to move - that feels solid and true. All love, see you in class.
Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome 😊 Such a pleasure
‘How does love want to move today?’ ❤ Ive been asking myself this question for a few years now. And everything can be reclaimed by wisdom, that’s so true. It’s not what we do, but how we do it. Chopping wood and carrying water can and should be done with love. Then it doesn’t feel as strenuous. I’m forever questioning my motives though (this artistic thing I want to do, is it truly me who wants to do it? Is the resistance Im feeling my limiting beliefs or my higher self telling me I don’t actually want this as much as I think I do?), which has led me to quit most things I start. The inner work is endless to get to the bottom of this it feels sometimes. Thanks for the video it’s a good way to mindfully start the day ❤
Thanks for sharing Marie, really appreciate your words. I think so many will relate to your question about whether resistance is a limiting belief or your higher self telling you something. A mistake I made for years what interpreting a "closed" intuitive feeling as a "No" - like resistance for example. Wisdom taught me that an "open" feeling means I am seeing and being clear/true. "Closed" means a lack of clear seeing and being. So my job is to get clear, find the belief or perception that triggers the closed feeling until I'm open again. From that open place, then we can check if love wants to move, and only then. Like a closed pipe can't flow, a closed state blocks our ability to sense into our true path for that moment. Hope that makes sense? I may add this topic to my list for next videos. Thanks. All love.
@@ColleenJoy I really like this perspective, closed means a lack of clear seeing not necessarily a No. I’ve made so many rushed decisions from interpreting it as a no. Get clear and from that space see where love wants to move. Thank you that really helps. Love from France! And yes to a video on that topic :) ❤️
What a Stunning message!... ❤
Thanks Jo, glad you find it helpful. The fable helped me so much, and continues to. Appreciate the kind comment.
Beautiful😍
Thanks so much lovely lady. Big gratitude.
Thank you for this. I have given up a project I was working on for 3 years because of that tightness in the chest that showed up. I finally stopped bcs I felt like it would give me a heart attack.
Glad to help Ursula. It's incredible how physically felt our perceptions and thoughts can be. What amazes me is how wisdom seeing clearly can totally transform this closed response, making it open. What topics would you like me to cover?
@ColleenJoy I would love to watch content about how to overcome self-imposed limitations and how to know if something is right for me. Because sometimes the tightness could also mean that goal is not aligned with who we really are (or can become), right?
Brilliant question, @marie-gabriellemarty2689 asked a similar thing. I think I need to do a deep dive video on this, its so important, and helpful to understand. Here is the answer I posted for Marie " A mistake I made for years what interpreting a "closed" intuitive feeling as a "No" - like resistance for example. Wisdom taught me that an "open" feeling means I am seeing and being clear/true. "Closed" means a lack of clear seeing and being. So my job is to get clear, find the belief or perception that triggers the closed feeling until I'm open again. From that open place, then we can check if love wants to move, and only then. Like a closed pipe can't flow, a closed state blocks our ability to sense into our true path for that moment. Hope that makes sense? I may add this topic to my list for next videos. " So the tightness is actually interfering with your intuitive compass so to speak. It doesn't mean "not aligned." Only an open but "flat" no flow, no life feeling is a "not your truth right now" intuitive clue. Does that make sense? Hope so. All love.
Thank you so much for your words, Colleen. They Inspire me to keep going on the creation of a YT channel to share my message. ❤
Wonderful good luck with your Channel 👏❤️
@@ColleenJoy Thanks so much! 💙
A moving and beautiful expression of vulnerability and personal truth.
Thank you Laura, appreciate the kind comment. I see you liked my Enneagram videos also, appreciate that! Let me know what content you would love me to create.
I feel what you are sharing here is not just applicable to coaching, it can be applied to many other facets of life as we put ourselves "out there". As you mentioned, "Life is in service of life." The plus and minus fall away when we focus on serving. Thank you for sharing Colleen and letting your apple tree flow. ☺
So true Linde I agree, this self doubt and resistance can literally block the flow of our life force. It's wonderful connecting here thanks. ❤
This is beautiful. Thanks Col😍
It's my real pleasure, thanks for the kind words. Glad to see you out there with your Self Discovery brand.
Thanks Col… I needed this reminder today 🙏
You are so welcome Susan. It's important to remind ourselves often of our deeper wisdom, like drinking water often, ongoing nourishment. Big hugs to you.
Simply beautiful 💜🙏💜🙏💜
Thank you
What a lovely video from a beautiful and spiritual lady. Thank you so much. 🙂
I so appreciate the kind words Julia, thank you. I'm so grateful to have healed this fear enough to do the work I love. Sometimes it seems like older souls are the ones holding themselves back, afraid to speak and show up, when they have the most valuable contributions to make. So I do hope this message helps a few people.
Bless you, I cannot see any scarrs , not even after you mentioned them and picked them out. Beautiful lady, beautiful person, that you are. Xx
That's very kind of you Yvonne, luckily I have lost the scar self consciousness, but it was a deep fear for much of the first part of my life. I think many people hold themselves back because of "invisible" scars. I wish everyone could find their inner wisdom, it changes everything.
Omg ! 100 %
Thanks for the comment! Appreciated
That was beautifully said (and experienced deeply I can tell) - Thanks for sharing your truth, subbed :) ❤
Thanks for the sub! So appreciate the kind words
Incredible how I was thinking of such situations and this kind of fear the past few days as I have to be visible now and share my message and today magically your video appeared. It really comforted me. Thank you ❤❤

Hey Colleen, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
Thanks but we are good
I do find it frustrating that people who don't understand your brilliance think your the stupid one...
Yeah, ignorance is so damaging, and ignorance doesn't know that it's ignorant. Sanity and wisdom sound insane to the ignorant for sure.
negative thoughts or negative entities???
