Episode show notes
In episode 56 of the Soulfully Confident Podcast, we are talking all about how you never get there and you never get it done. I really want to explain this concept and why it brings me so much comfort. Think about the one thing that you really want in your life and ask yourself why. The truth is you want that thing because you think having it will make you feel a certain way and this is a big misconception, which we'll be covering today so stay tuned!
But before we dive right in, let me introduce myself in case this is your first visit. Welcome to the Soulfully Confident Podcast! I’m your host, Emily Elizabeth, creator of the Soulfully Abundant Group Coaching program and certified Life Coach. This podcast is for the person who feels insecure, lost, and wants more from life but feels stuck. It is for the person who is ready to claim their confidence, self-worth, and take back control of their life. In this podcast, we will cover topics including self-love, managing your emotions, reconnecting in your relationships, and even manifestation. Remember, you are loved, you are worthy, and you are so capable of anything you want to achieve. Let’s jump in!
Check out the points below to learn more about why we are always evolving as individuals. For even more details on each point, listen to ALL of episode 56 of the Soulfully Confident Podcast on your preferred streaming platform!
Why humans are designed to want and desire.
Here’s the thing…
If we are automatically designed to seek pleasure and avoid pain, then we’re also designed to see the negative.
A lot of people forget this!
Our brain is literally programmed to seek out problems and find the negative in order to protect us.
Guess what? We don’t have to be seeking out danger anymore and worrying about the little things because society has completely changed. We will always have more and more desires as our life evolves. We’ll experience different emotions as we achieve that one goal.
And then once you get through that one goal, you’ll want to set another and so on and so on.
Which is why you’ll NEVER get it done. We keep on drawing and wanting more for ourselves. This doesn't mean that you'll never be satisfied with your life, it just means you want to keep on achieving more.
This whole concept got me thinking. Why do we have to be unhappy in order to want more? Why can't we just want more with our lives?
What if we could feel good and confident and still desire certain changes?
This is so much more powerful than making decisions from a place of insecurity, scarcity, fear, and judgment. This is a really important concept to think about because when you do, you’ll become 10x more satisfied with your life and what you've achieved.
Change the way that you speak to yourself around any negative areas in your life. Develop more of a positive thinking and positive affirmations so that it feels believable.
I know I'm not at my future self yet but that's okay because I'm living in the moment.
When you become self-aware of each moment, reaching your goals becomes easier.
In this FREE 3 day training, I will share with you exactly how I went FROM: insecure, 'fake it until I make it' mentality, and very lost in my relationship TO: crushing my goals, feeling in control of my emotions, totally empowered to go after what I want, and to being in a truly secure and satisfying relationship.
Getting to the place you want to be.
I have some news for you: You’re already getting there.
Of course, you want more, we’re humans and that’s what we desire.
You’re going to want an even better connection with your significant other, you're going to want a better relationship with your diet, and you're going to want more success no matter where you are in your business.
That’s just how it is and it’s actually a really comforting thought to think about.
If you enjoy the process of improving these areas rather than focusing on how you're not there yet, you're going to get there so much faster.
When you step into self-awareness, it helps you take a step back and appreciate the things you DO have rather than the things you DON’T
If you find yourself wanting more, ask yourself why can't you just be satisfied right now?
Catch yourself and say this:
I am satisfied. Stop punishing yourself for wanting and desiring more and rather appreciate, give thanks, and focus upon everything you love about your body, relationship, clients, and business. I’m going to watch myself evolve and grow and get one step closer to that next level of where I want to be.
Why we are always evolving and getting to that next level.
When you step into that mindset and realization that you are satisfied with your life, more desires are going to be planted and they're going to start growing.
You’re going to go through a little roller coaster of emotions because you’ll never get it done.
You will always desire and want more no matter how good things are, as long as you feel full of love and appreciation from everything you’re experiencing right now.
FACT: All we ever have is this present moment.
Give thanks and appreciation for everything you have right now, even if negative emotions are surrounding it.
We would never create more beautiful and amazing things in this world if we weren't constantly feeling a multitude of emotions throughout our days. You have to be willing to feel all the emotions because that's what makes us always evolve.
It Is Never Done, We Are ALWAYS Evolving: The Bottomline
I hope this episode helps you realize that you already are the person you’ve dreamt of. There’s always going to be more that we want out of our lives and that's okay. It gives us something to push for and work on. With anything we try and accomplish, there's going to be a mix of emotions but that's what is going to get you results. We’re meant to evolve and chase our desires like there’s no tomorrow and the key is to be self-aware and full of gratitude for every emotion along the way.

About your host
My name is Emily Elizabeth, I am a life and confidence coach, and I am ready to help you take back your confidence and feel in control of your life.
I love helping women get out of the victim mentality, find their self-worth, and reconnect with themselves so they can not only improve themselves but all their relationships. When I am not creating content for my clients and programs, you can find me on a spontaneous trip with my husband, working out, curled up with my journal, or spending time enjoying the outdoors.
What I want to do for you all today is a little guided meditation, visualizations, and affirmations that I say a lot to myself and guide my clients through as well.
