30 Days with God - Day 25

I was listening to a podcast earlier today as I often do. I've grown to love them and make them a part of my daily routine while getting ready. I tend to feel less prepared for the day without some sort of motivation or lesson to learn. Many of these have a faith-based element but all of them are incredibly inspirational and challenging. This one today is one I'll remember for awhile. It was Ed Mylett talking about fulfilling our potential. The entire episode was great, but the part that made the biggest impact was when he talked about our thoughts and how we listen to the wrong thoughts about ourselves so often. He then asked if we were listening as a wise person or as a wounded person.

WOW!

Let's just think about that for a minute because I think that can be applied to practically any situation in life. I think back to times when I didn't handle my pain well, when I stayed stuck and when I let it affect my relationships. I was very much listening to the thoughts in my head as a wounded person, not a wise person.

How often do we do that ... default to the wounded person mentality? Maybe we arrive at the wise person eventually, but what if we could start making the decision to stop for a minute with every situation and shift to the wise person?

It takes awhile to create a habit. Statistics show anywhere from 17 to 90 days, so this might be a process, but how much better would our lives be if we could finally get to the place of looking at every aspect from the wise person standpoint? and not just our lives, how much better could we make this world if we committed to living this out and helping others learn it as well?

Something to think about for sure. I'm definitely going to be working on it myself.

"But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all."

- James 1:5

Meet Amy Gregory (Coach Amy G)

Hi! I'm Coach Amy G ... a 49 year old empty-nester and proud mama of my one and only son, Jamison, who is now on his own married journey in life with his wife, Montana, who feels like she’s always belonged in our family + the 2 sweet grandpups (Luna & Ember) that we absolutely adore.

I've been married to my incredibly talented and artistic husband, Jason, for 25 years. When he finally gets his website, you’ll be the first to know it here, but you can check out his Instagram for now if you’d like. We love spending time together just hanging out or enjoying some of our favorite things, as well as, trying as much new stuff as we can. We also love exploring our independent sides with our own personal adventures.

The name of my website has truly become my life's mantra. I am a survivor of church and narcissistic abuse and emotional trauma, who almost decided to leave this world in my late-30's. Instead, by some miracle, I found healing and turned cheerleader and mentor for others who have also experienced emotional trauma. I became so passionate about it, that I got certified as an Emotional Intelligence coach to help others on their path to healing and to living a “More Powerful YOU!” life.

I am equal parts terrified and energized by what life holds, but I’m becoming more and more willing to walk through the terrified to find the best there is for me and those in my circle.

So, that’s the quick summary, but if you’re here for the fun facts and some of the nitty gritty ...

I am an extroverted stand-up-and-shout kind of person … probably too much for some people but just right for others.

I am a color-your-world (and mine) type who also loves grays and black.

I am as goofy as I am filled with serious depth and intention. Not everyone gets to see the goofy side to the degree of annoyance like those closest to me do. That's probably a blessing. LOL!

I am a champagne-any-day person because … why not? Isn't every day worth celebrating?

I am a person who loves deeply and openly, who lives life fully and wants to help others do the same.

I am also someone who loves all things essential oils. Those little bottles of plant extracts literally helped save my life. You should see the stashes of oils I have all over + the dozens of unopened bottles I keep on hand because you better believe I just HAD to get them and I’m definitely not going to run out of something important. Seriously, if you don't know much about them, you should do some research.

I am constantly widening my community to encourage more trauma survivors in finding the powerful person who may be locked away but still remains inside them. If that describes you, we should have a little chat.

I also happen to be an entrepreneur who believes the network marketing business model is genius, even with it's flaws, and I'm learning to navigate through those weeds of inauthenticity and unprofessionalism to work toward finding a better way. After trying my hand at multiple different companies in my young adult years, I am now almost 6 years into my current journey, and loving every minute of it.

I’m a tad bit of a coffee (and tea) snob. Yes, I love both!

I am an Enneagram 7, wing 8, and that wing comes out STRONG sometimes, but in the end, you’ll find me often choosing fun over anything else.

I prefer audio books to reading, and I am a personal development podcast junky, but I do sit down with the occasional book from time-to-time.

I love Hallmark and Hallmark-esque movies, especially the Christmas ones - all year round. In fact, I would celebrate Christmas the entire year if I could.

Snow is my favorite. Also, all things fall. Don’t ask. I know it sounds complicated. Haha!

I love most food (not a picky eater . at. all) but seafood, tacos, and roasted vegetables ... feed me any of those and we’re probably going to be on really good terms.

There are lots more fun facts I could share about here like my epic dream trip to Iceland in 2018, my mid-life move from KY to AR in 2020, or just more of my favorites, but if you made it this far, *high five* because we should probably be friends.
