OFF STAGE with Lisa O'Neill

Ikigai is a Japanese philosophy of living where your life's aligned to your passion and your values. I'm into people living their lives well, not into people existing. Think about your passion, your mission, your profession. How do you have a life well-lived?

The two hours that I spend having fun will multiply, and I'll get six hours back. I'll get so much energy back. I'll get inspired, I'll get excited, I'll feel lighter and it will liberate my energy. What would give you more energy than it would take?

There's so much that we do out of love, out of service, and out of enjoyment. And it's all good, except when you just wake up and realise that everything you've done has been for someone else. You've got to have some time on your own. What can you do to fill your own tank? What's something that your future you really wants from you?

There's nothing worse than gaslighting yourself. Open up your bag of excuses. Have a good look at them. Are they real? Are they stories you've made up? Is it just a load of shit you're carrying around with you?

A mentor asked me this once. What's the race you want to win? I think it's a great question. What is the legacy you want to leave or what is the thing you want to leave on the planet?

I really like the idea of knowing your season. You might be in a divorce season or separation season, or you might be in a building a house season, or you might be in a just got a first grandchild season, or you might be in a living overseas season. I don't know what season you're in, but just know the season. I think that's really important.

I think we don't spend enough time understanding ourselves. Getting to know and like ourselves is our job. If you're under the pump right now or feeling a bit stressed, I see you. Be gentle and say nice things to yourself.

I'm just feeling very grateful at the moment because I've come out of a bit of a shitty time. When you're in a shitty time, you can feel really sorry for yourself. That helps for a minute but you can go, oh my God, my life is so much better now. We're in August and I just couldn't be happier about that.

Lost women are those who put themselves down to give their energy to someone else and forgot to pick themselves back up. If you're one of them, it's time to reclaim your life. You're not here to exist. You're here to live energetically, gorgeously.

I'm going to have extra things pop up this week. Appointments, support, phone calls, forms, just fuckery. And it's going to have to happen. So I might as well have in my planner this week that I have at least four hours this week for fucking around.

I read the book called The Greatest Miracle In The World all the time. The first time I read one chapter in this book, I cried and cried because it felt so profound. It helps reset my head.

We have to stay light, not in a delusional way, but in a realistic way, because if you sink all the way to the bottom, it's a long way to come back up.

Go get full of yourself. Not full of yourself in an egotistical way but in a soul-led self-love kind of way. Because when you're full of yourself, your cup is full and you can give more of yourself. What do you need to do to be more full of you?

If you are in a caregiver space, look after yourself. I'm a good caregiver because I'm good at looking after myself.

When you follow the moon, you get to have like a New Year's Eve every month. They're really good opportunities for us to pause and release and step into new things, to release stuff and let go of patterns.

"No one's you and that's your power." - Dave Grohl. Your job is to be the you-est version of you. Become so you that you couldn't be mistaken for anyone else.

I'm human and have ebbs and flows, highs and lows, bad times and good times. Sometimes, I have no energy but I have a lot of strategies.

If you're feeling shit, don't look like shit because then you've got double shit. Get dressed up, get micro doses of gorgeousness into your life. It doesn't have to be big or expensive. It's those teeny weeny things that make all the difference.
