Are you truly valuing yourself and setting boundaries in your life? We've got a heartfelt conversation waiting for you on Free Concepts, where we'll be navigating these waters of self-worth and self-love. Join us as we discuss the importance of living in the here and now, of taking time for self-care, and most importantly, not settling for less. It's time for some self-discovery, a journey to uncover the best version of yourself. A prayer starts us off, followed by a call to action to make those changes we need to truly shine. 

Now, ever heard about shadow work? It's a fascinating concept and we're diving right into it in the next part of our conversation. Embrace your shadow self, merge your light and darkness to become whole, and learn to rise above emotions like fear and anger. We're also introducing the "Shadow Work Journal", by Keila Shaheen, a guide to help you clear out your darkness and let your light shine through. Plus, we've got an exciting TikTok giveaway of the journal running until New Year's 2024! Gratitude, motivation, and elevation are all part of our journey here, so tune in and let's rise together.
Key phrase should be in by next episode Dec. 3rd midnight.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Free Concepts.
Everyone we remotivate, educateand elevate.
I am your host, shaniqua.
I want to first start off bysaying thank you, guys.
Thank you so much for listening.
I'm so truly grateful for yoursupport and your love.
Thank you.
Today's topic is Know your Worth.

(00:23):
Do you know your worth?
I hope you know your worth.
I hope you say, yes, I do Knowyour worth.
I'm going to start off before Icontinue, start off with prayer
.
Father God, in the name of Jesus, god, I come to you, lord, and
I say thank you, god.
Thank you, god, for all thethings that you've done and all
that you're about to do.
Thank you for this platform,god.

(00:43):
I ask that the listeners beable to receive whatever message
you have that you wantdelivered.
God, I thank you for your grace, your mercy, your forgiveness.
I ask that my listeners have anopen heart, open mind and be
willing to make whatever changethey need to make within
themselves to be the bestversion of them that they can be

(01:04):
.
Decrease in me, increase moreof you.
In Jesus name, we pray Amen.
Amen.
Know your worth.
So important, so important.
I know many times you've heardthis phrase Know your worth,
self love, self care.
But it's true, guys, you needto value yourself more than that

(01:25):
woman or man you're sleepingwith.
More than likely, you know thatperson will probably either
mistreat you, abuse you,disrespect you and so on, and
the only reason I'm saying thatis because we often find
ourselves in toxic relationships, because we do not know our own
value, in which we don't thentruly love ourselves.

(01:47):
So you know that you arebeautiful and wonderfully made
by our Creator, and I believethat we are crafted uniquely.
We aren't meant to be the same.
I think we'd be really boringif everybody was the same.
I love our uniqueness.
I love our differences.
You're an individual withpurpose.

(02:09):
We don't realize that we detourthe plan by changing the core,
the very core of who we are,just to please Other people.
Change can be great if it'spositive and it's what you want,
or you know this what God wantsfor your life, but never change
for who you are with or anyonethat you just want to satisfy

(02:36):
with their own selfishness.
Some people just want to changeyou to please their ego or
whatever it is they feel thatthey need in that time and in
that moment, and so you startchanging yourself and you don't
even know who you are anymore.
They have made you know thisversion, with this vision of

(02:57):
whatever they expect themarriage to be or relationship
to be, and they don't even knowwho they are as well.
Love and being kind also is anever weakness but a strength,
especially when you are strongenough to move on past hurts and
put yourself out there to allowyourself to love again.

(03:17):
And allow is the key word toallow yourself to love again,
because we often allow people totreat us any kind of way,
basically, and that then becomesa pattern, and a pattern that
really needs to stop, becauseyou are worthy.
Nobody should treat you lessthan so.

(03:38):
It's time to set thoseboundaries.
Stop being bothered.
Stop being bothered.
I'm gonna say it again Stopbeing bothered with people that
get on your nerves and stopbeing around people that seem
like they bothered by you.
You need to reinvent the newyou and reintroduce yourself and

(04:00):
teach people how to treat you.
Take back control over yourlife.
Stop settling for less.
You are worthy and it's hottime that you start showing up
in the world is just that worthy.
You must look at yourself in themirror and ask yourself just a

(04:21):
few questions.
Just imagine yourself.
Well, if you have a mirror thatyou're that's nearby.
Ask yourself a few questions.
What are you doing?
Look at yourself.
Say what are you doing?
What are you doing with yourlife?
What are you doing?
You know this isn't you?
Stand up straight and tall andtell yourself to get your ish

(04:43):
together.
Says get your ish together,bruh.
You don't deserve the negativitythat's given the things that
you encounter, just because youdon't want to be alone.
We have to be careful with thenegativity that we speak, even
to our own selves.
We talk down to ourselves andwe start believing it.

(05:03):
You have to end up sayingenough is enough.
But the thing is you have to besick and tired of being sick
and tired of being sick andtired To say enough is enough.
You have to start with self,because you can't change anyone
else but you.
You have to make up your ownmind and your own head to

(05:27):
elevate and grow.
You can't be upset and ain't noneed to be upset with other
people, because it's justdraining your energy.
You have to do what's best foryou, work on you by finding out
who you are and stop avoidingbeing alone with yourself.
You dodging yourself like aworsen relative or a coworker,

(05:49):
and many times we will be aroundpeople that we don't even feel
like being around, just so wedon't be alone.
But you really are never alone,because sometimes you gotta
take that quality time with justyou and God, no distractions.
Now I know that people don'talways like the truth, but I'm

(06:10):
here to go ahead and speak sometruth, not just to myself, but
to you too.
So here goes Slow down, slowdown.
Stop moving so fast becauselife is passing you by.
Stay in the moment.
You so worried about gettingthat bag or your retirement.

(06:36):
I'm gonna travel one day andwhen I'm 50 or 60, when you
retire, you keep looking to 20,30 years later.
Sometimes you have to just.
I'm not saying it's not okay toplay, but sometimes you have to
just live in the moment.
Live in the moment, be quiet.

(06:57):
Sometimes you talk too much.
I'm talking to myself on thatone too.
Basically, you can't think whyyou talking.
Find a quiet place, get it allout, any frustrations, and then
sit quiet and just listen.
Listen to the voice of God,listen to whatever it is that

(07:18):
you feel that you need to hearin that moment.
Trust me, you'll hear it.
But you have to sit in a quietplace and take some time for you
, clear out the noise, findcompany and relationship with
God and yourself.
Date you.
Take time to lotion your legs Idon't know Soak in the hot tub

(07:39):
and read a book, dance aroundthe house, sing, even if you
can't sing, you know.
Just have enjoyment with justbeing with you.
You cannot love someone if youdo not love you.
I'm gonna say that for thepeople in the back you cannot
love someone if you do not loveyou.

(08:00):
This was a lesson I learned thehard way.
Come to think of it, I kind oflearned all my lessons the hard
way.
But anyway, be comfortable, beconfident in your own skin.
You will find what you thinkare imperfections.
Someone else will think isbeautiful your nose, for example

(08:21):
.
You might think, oh, I have along.
Well for me, I felt like I'vehad a long nose.
Someone will love that nose,the whole package of you.
If you don't love you, then youcannot expect for someone else
to like you or even love you.
If you don't accept who you areyou have to accept you Then how

(08:43):
do you expect anybody else?
You know what I mean.
You gotta come to grips withjust who you are and love you
and embrace you, cause you withyou and you gonna be with you
until you're not here.
You know so you might as wellget comfortable with just you.

(09:03):
Don't feel ashamed.
Instead, feel proud of who youare Now.
Man, I'm talking to y'all too.
Don't settle for less.
You need to take time to healand love you as well.
Allow your best qualities toshine.
There's more good in you thanbad guys.

(09:25):
I'm speaking from a place offreedom.
Free yourself from the shacklesthat have you bound.
God will show you how to loveand even receive love.
You don't know how to receivelove because you are wondering
how can they love me, flaws andall, and that it's too good to
be true.
And then you end upself-sabotaging with your

(09:49):
insecurities and low self-esteem, always thinking that they
cheat in because you don't havefaith in what the great man or
woman that you are.
And even to say, if they docheat, that's not your issue,
that's their issue.
And be glad the God revealspeople for who they are.
You deserve better.

(10:10):
Be happy when God remove people.
Don't be so quick to try to getthem back, especially when you
know that they've wronged you insuch a way or disrespected you.
Work on you while you arewaiting on better.
So I want you to do me a favorwrite a list of qualities, of

(10:31):
qualities that you acquire, andthen a list of qualities that
you want in your mate.
I said qualities, not money ormaterial.
Now, and then you got to seetoo are you adding up on your
own list to what you'reexpecting?
And then are there dealbreakers, things that you just

(10:53):
can't deal with.
Now, be honest, don't be.
You ain't fooling nobody butyourself.
So be honest.
Are you willing to evencompromise on some things,
things like that?
Just know that God will giveyou the desires of your heart,
but be willing to wait.
Be willing to wait on it, guys.
A lot of times we are microwavetime.

(11:14):
We don't want to wait on whoGod has for us, because while
you are getting you together,healing and such, god is
preparing that person that willbe just for you.
Everything starts with you,though.
You hold the key to your veryown heart, to your own freedom.

(11:36):
You've had it all alongsearching for love like a noun
child, searching for lovethrough people, places and
things.
Love is deep down on the insideof you, just waiting to come up
and blossom.
It really is, and you can keepsearching for someone to love

(11:58):
you.
You can go ahead and keepsearching and think that they'll
fill up their emptiness, thatvoid that you have on the inside
, or you can love yourself andlet God fill you up instead.
Now, I'm not trying to offendany non-believers out there,
because I'm always talking aboutGod, but that's what's got me

(12:22):
through.
I was lost and I'm found.
Basically, it took me over 30years to finally find what I had
been looking for in friendshipsand personal relationships and
everywhere else I was looking.
Finally, I found real,authentic, genuine love within
me, accepting myself andacknowledging what I've done or

(12:45):
been through whatever.
Basically, it didn't define meand the things that I did didn't
define who I am and who Godcalled me to be.
You know what I'm saying.
I was in the making and I wasbeing crafted and I was learning
lessons and my faith was beingtested as well.

(13:06):
Will I give up or will I rise tothe occasion?
You got that power up in youtoo to keep going.
But the journey is not as hardwhen you have faith and believe
in God.
I have less stress when Ibelieve in God because I just
give it to him.

(13:26):
Now, it ain't always easy allthe time, y'all, it's harder
than what it sounds, but Irather do that than not
believing.
And then, if I'm not believing,I'm more, I'm worrying more,
and then that's going to causedisease in my body.
This ease will cause disease inthe body when you harbor all of

(13:48):
that and you're worrying andall of the stuff.
The weight is on your shoulders.
So I'm learning to let go andlet God do what you can and
leave the rest of him.
Know your words, by the way, isthe key phrase, just in case
y'all didn't catch that.
So last week episode Idiscussed that we would have a

(14:10):
keyword for a giveaway.
So the keyword know your worthis the key phrase, just in case
you didn't catch that.
But know that you're enough,you are worthy, you are of
greatness and you are still inthe potter's hands.
The best is yet to come.
I want you to say this againWith me know that you are enough

(14:33):
, say I am enough, I am worthy,I am of greatness and I am still
in the potter's hands.
The best is yet to come.
Email the key phrase to freeconcepts podcast at gmailcom,
along with your shipping address, so that I can mail you.

(14:55):
Your book is called the shadowwork journal.
It's a guide to integrate andtrust, transcend your shadow.
So basically, combining yourlight with the darkness and
becoming the whole light.
And rise above the darkness,such as fear, wounds, anger, etc
.
Anything basically that'skeeping you bound and that's

(15:15):
keeping your light dim.
There's no darkness whenthere's light, guys.
So clear out the darkness.
The light resides in you, soshine your light.
Okay, again, the shadow workjournal will be given out.
