Why Breathe Y’all is a Soulie Mantra

September 15, 2019

 
In this episode, I am sharing why “Breathe Y’all” is a Soulie Mantra and why you might want to take it on yourself. 
 
Hey, hey. This is episode number 63. Hey there, soulful people. Good to be with you again today. So today, we are going to talk about what are the touchpoints behind the scenes for my Soulies. Soulies are the members of my Soulful Success coaching membership. Today, I decided that it’s really like a gym membership where you can strengthen your mind, your heart, your spirit, your brain, and a splash of your business skills at a reasonable price so that you can create better life and better work.
 
Over the last couple of years, we’ve kind of come up with some anchors. I’ll give you some examples of the anchor. Some of the anchors are that … This is in no particular order. Soulies follow the path with heart. Soulies are deciders. Soulies create their own custom recipe for success with a combination of tried and true standards and individual magic. Soulies remember who they be. Soulies get an alignment and then go create. Soulies know their three, and that’s a reference to their three things in their business that work. Soulies identify their soul symptoms and their soul medicine for when things get off. We have a new one today, is that Soulies recognize, honor, and create from desire. That one came up in the coaching call today. We had a live call.
 
And one of them is “breathe, y’all.”
 
So breathe, y’all came…I didn’t realize I was saying it, but I start out every coaching session just taking a breath with my clients. I do this when I’m speaking. I like to take a breath and breathe in the oneness of the audience and the oneness of my clients. So we begin each coaching session, business, or life, or class, by just taking a few breaths together. And at some point in my little Texas voice, I was saying, “Breathe, y’all. Y’all, breathe.” My client Jody Garcia here in Georgetown, Texas, she’s a realtor, Jodie was like, “You should make a t-shirt.” And so sure enough, we made a t-shirt that says, super cute, “Breathe, y’all.” Everybody wants the t-shirt, but the only people that can get the t-shirt is not for sale. The only people that can get the t-shirt are a Soulful Success members who have been members for a year or more. They get a little baseball tee that says, “Breathe, y’all.” It’s the one that’s in the pictures of my headshot pictures.
I wanted to dive deeper today into why breathe y’all. Why breathe y’all?
I also asked my clients what did breathe y’all mean to them and posted this in our group. I said, “What does breathe y’all mean to you?”

* Tiffany says, “For me, it’s a reminder to come back to center, to the place where inner wisdom resides and be fully in this present moment.”
* Peter says, “Slow down and breathe. Love yourself first.”
* MA says, “Stop giving so much attention and energy to stuff outside of me. Breathe, go inward, and remember how strong I am.”
* For Joelle, breathe y’all means stop, check-in, and listen.
* For Sarah, breathe y’all means take a moment to notice who I am being and relax into it.
* And for Katerina, be here now present and let go of the rest.

So that phrase, breathe, y’all, has become an anchor, has become a reminder for myself in my private practice, in my personal practice, in spiritual practice, and in everyday life of the reset button. This morning in my sacred spiritual time, I started writing about breathing. Actually, even before writing about breathing,
