We all have two sides to us that we can feed- the inner villain or the inner hero.  Which one you choose to feed will significantly influence your life. Feeding the inner villain will lower your confidence and have you doubting yourself.  The inner villain feeds off of what can bring you down. There are many ways you can protect yourself from feeding the villain and what will attack your confidence.   It’s important to be aware of what outside influences you allow into your life.  Focus on your strengths!!!  Take advice from those who preach what they practice and remember history leaves clues. ;) Make sure the story you tell yourself is supporting you!   Important links: Follow me on the 'Gram: @marrjennings Learn more about me: marlenerjennings.com Energy Guru the book: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=energy+guru+marlene+jennings&crid=2ZQEWGD1VZVAM&sprefix=energy+guru% 2Caps%2C124&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_11

This week I’ve been focusing a lot on the importance of unleashing your gift. I am such a strong supporter of aligning with your gifts and being able to make a living doing what you love!!! Many of us go to work chasing a check but not meaning. We set out to do things in the world based off of how society, our family, and the people around us have shaped us to view work life and success. However, you are set out to do so much more than chase a check!!! You have a purpose and wonderful gifts that have been given to you for a purpose. Once I realized this for myself the way I lived my life completely shifted. I want to share 5 benefits of aligning with and unleashing your gift!    People need your gift. It may be a creative talent, outstanding baking or cooking skills, a passion for working with children, or an entrepreneurial drive that allows you to take great risk. Whatever your gift may be, you can find a way to serve and contribute through it.   Your gift is the sauce of your value. Your value contributes to how much you make, and you get paid through the value you bring. When you are passionate about what you do, you can excel in much further ways than when passion is absent.   Connecting your passion with your purpose leads to more fulfilling relationships. When your work isn’t stressing you out or bringing negative energy your way, you are able to be present. When you get home you won’t be bringing your negative energy from work to your significant other, children, parents, siblings, or friends. Instead you will be excited to discuss and enjoy life without being so attached to what’s going on with work. You will be focused on nurturing your relationships and appreciating the company of your loved ones.   Loving the work you do will lead to better health. When you are out of alignment with your gift, the workplace can bring about high levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and unhappiness. However, when you enjoy the work you do you become filled with creativity, positivity, and an excitement to contribute to the best of your abilities while still being able to provide for yourself and your loved ones.   When you live your life with passion, drive, and a love for the work you do trust that success will follow. People can sense when you have a passion for what you do, and because of this you will most likely be extremely great at whatever it is you are doing! Why wouldn’t anyone want to support that? You are destined for greatness and to wake up each and every day feeling excited for what the day will bring. You owe it to yourself to live a life you love. I’ll end this with one of my favorite quotes by Nelson Mandela, “There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”    Important links: Follow me on the 'Gram: @marrjennings Learn more about me: marlenerjennings.com Get the Free Goal Getter Blueprint here --->Goal Getter Blueprint

Have you ever thought about if you are actually being present or just existing in the Now?  This episode will explain the difference between clock and psychological time and the importance of giving your energy and attention to what is happening in the present moment. Being present allows you to strengthen relationships, gain new opportunities, and continuously learn from the experiences life presents to you. A lack of presence tends to lead to worry, stress, and fear over things outside of your control. Being conscious enough to focus on the Now will allow you to live a more peaceful and balanced life.    Important links: Follow me on the 'Gram: @marrjennings Learn more about me: marlenerjennings.com Energy Guru the book: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=energy+guru+marlene+jennings&crid=2ZQEWGD1VZVAM&sprefix=energy+guru% 2Caps%2C124&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_11

This episode explains the differences between the ego and the soul. The ego displays a false reality that may influence one to think too highly or too low of themselves. The ego is associated with the mind and can leave you fooled into seeing yourself in a light that is far from the truth, which is why it's super important to keep the ego in check! The soul on the other hand is the you without all of the labels, titles, and masks. It is your purest self that allows you to lead with wisdom and an open heart. Unlike the ego, the soul doesn't need to be stroked. Understanding the differences between the two can greatly influence how you react to certain situations, how you view yourself, and how you perceive the world.  Less Ego, More Soul.      Important links: Follow me on the 'Gram: @marrjennings Learn more about me: marlenerjennings.com Energy Guru the book: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=energy+guru+marlene+jennings&crid=2ZQEWGD1VZVAM&sprefix=energy+guru%2Caps%2C124&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_11

On today's episode we will be focusing on forgiveness and the weight it will lift off of your soul. Forgiving our friends and family, forgiving those who we never receive and apology from, and forgiving ourselves is going to open up any blockages. Forgiving is ultimately done for you, it's an act of self-love.  Sometimes forgiveness is exactly what you need to do in order to close one chapter in your journey and peacefully move onto the next. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting. It means peacefully letting go and not allowing whatever it is you have forgiven to hold you back anymore.     Important links: Follow me on the 'Gram: @marrjennings Blog: marlenerjennings.wordpress.com Energy Guru the book: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=energy+guru+marlene+jennings&crid=2ZQEWGD1VZVAM&sprefix=energy+guru%2Caps%2C124&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_11    

This episode introduces the numerous ways that pain comes into our lives: pain from the past, pain from out thoughts, pain from a loss, and pain from things we have done. There is strength in acknowledging the need for healing and taking the necessary steps to heal. You need to be present with your pain and determine the source of it in order to overcome it. Be consciously aware of your desire to heal and work on reacting to your pain in a way that demonstrates growth. React out of love not out of fear and allow yourself to be positively changed through what your pain can teach you.      Important links: Follow me on the 'Gram: @marrjennings Learn more about me: marlenerjennings.com Energy Guru the book: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=energy+guru+marlene+jennings&crid=2ZQEWGD1VZVAM&sprefix=energy+guru%2Caps%2C124&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_11
