Summary

In college, a therapist recommended I read "The Secret" to help with visualizing and understanding the influence of thoughts. Have you read it? Heard of it?? It's a little woo-woo for some, but the concepts have stuck with me over the years. So, instead of using manifestation to focus on the materialistic things, in this interview we discuss how to use it to get the life you want. Shirin Eskandani, of wholehearted coaching, believes in and teaches manifestation...but almost without calling it that (she explains that!). In this interview she shares how several years ago she was in a really rough patch and took a giant leap of faith on self development for herself. Since then her ideas of manifestation are more focused on dreaming, self work, and overcoming obstacles. We break down the beliefs women often have about themselves, as well as manifesting in non-materialistic ways, and how you can get started with this. I also share how manifestation has worked in reverse - meaning how the negative beliefs I had about myself were in fact coming true. Tune in for a lesson on how to get the life you want, while living the life you're in.

0:00.0	You are listening to about progress. This is episode 239, how to get the life you want with
0:08.2	Sharon Eskandani. I was 20 years old and I was seeking a therapist at my college when I first heard about the secret.
0:17.0	It was from my therapist actually because he was trying to help me connect how my thoughts create my feelings which create my actions.
0:24.7	It's a cognitive therapy gold standard model.
0:27.6	But he gave me this video to help me make that connection a little bit more.
0:31.6	So I sat down in my dorm room, I put in the
0:33.6	DVD I borrowed from him, and I watch what I would describe as a woo-woo infomercial
0:38.6	for the law of attraction. People shared stories of visualizing them getting rich and poof they're rich.
0:45.0	They talked about imagining the car space they wanted before going to the parking lot and what do you know?
0:50.0	That exact space was ready for them when they pulled into the parking lot.
0:54.0	I found myself in trance by a lot of what they were teaching, the power of
0:58.1	visualizing, putting out the energy you want to attract and how influential your
1:02.2	thoughts are and what you see as reality.
1:05.0	But I also found myself annoyed with how it was more materialistic in nature and that it ignored the need to actually act and work towards what you want.
1:16.8	Is this your view of manifesting that it's too woo-booo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-touch?
1:21.6	Well today's episode is for you. The facts are certain the way
1:25.5	you think influences what you see as reality. The way you believe in yourself and
1:31.0	your dreams affects how you actually show up to the work
1:34.7	it entails to get there. You do have an inner compass that can guide the actions you are
1:39.3	taking so that you can feel what you want to feel later in the here and now.
1:45.0	This, my friends, is what real manifesting is,
1:48.5	and it's taken me a lot of years to learn that
