In this solo episode of The Conscious Consultant Hour: Awakening Humanity, Sam Liebowitz explores what it really means to go beyond positive thinking. He begins by reading his blog post, “Gratitude Is a Choice We Can Make Anytime,” reminding us that while life can feel chaotic, painful, or uncertain, there is almost always something in the present moment we can be genuinely grateful for—our breath, a bed to sleep in, food in the kitchen, or simply a safe place to rest. Sam explains how shifting our focus from what’s missing (“negative space”) to what’s already here (“positive space”) can gently open the door to gratitude, even in difficult times.
From there, Sam dives deeper into why “just thinking positive” often doesn’t work. He talks about the unconscious patterns of unworthiness, self-protection, and old stories from childhood that quietly sabotage our intentions, and how real transformation requires deep inner work—whether through therapy, coaching, spiritual practice, or other forms of healing. Gratitude becomes a powerful tool in metabolizing these old energies, especially when we can be grateful even for the parts of us that once kept us safe but no longer serve us.
Sam then invites listeners to take the next steps: recognizing that we are the creators of our lives, and taking responsibility for our choices, attitudes, and energy—without blaming ourselves or denying how hard life can be. He illustrates this with personal stories of pivotal decisions, challenging relationships, and unexpected blessings, including a recent “gift from the universe” that arrived through a simple act of saying yes. Ultimately, Sam encourages us to claim our power to choose, get clear on what truly brings us peace and joy (beyond society’s definitions of success), leave room for life’s magic, and practice gratitude as a daily, embodied choice that can quietly but profoundly change our lives.
Sam opens the episode by inviting listeners into a reflection on the power of presence, reminding us that gratitude isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we consciously choose. Through stories and gentle guidance, he highlights how shifting our attention from fear and lack to the simple blessings of the moment can awaken a deeper sense of peace and embodied appreciation. He encourages spiritually conscious listeners to explore what gratitude feels like in their bodies right now, reclaiming it as a transformative practice available in every moment.
In this segment, Sam explores what it really means to go beyond positive thinking, explaining that while optimism and tools like vision boards can be helpful, they often can’t override the unconscious patterns of unworthiness wired into us from childhood. He invites spiritually conscious listeners into deep inner work—through therapy, coaching, plant medicine, or genuine spiritual practice—to gently unwind old survival programs in the nervous system, beginning with shining awareness on them and even feeling gratitude for how they once protected us. By seeing these patterns clearly, appreciating their past purpose, and then consciously choosing new responses one small step at a time, we reclaim our power to create a life aligned with our true worth rather than our old conditioning.
In this segment, Sam deepens the theme of going beyond positive thinking by reminding us that true transformation starts with lifelong inner work—meeting our feelings of unworthiness, shining light on them, and honoring them as old protection mechanisms we can now gently release with gratitude. As that process unfolds, he invites us into a radical spiritual realization: we are the creators of our lives, shaping our path through our choices, attitudes, and the energy we bring—even in difficult or painful situations, where our response becomes the doorway to a different future. While this level of ownership can sting, Sam frames it as a profound empowerment and soul-training ground, where every challenge can help us build emotional and spiritual “muscles” and step more consciously into the life our deeper self is calling us to live.
In this closing segment, Sam weaves everything together, inviting spiritually conscious listeners to move beyond surface-level positivity by embracing themselves as creators of their lives—owning their choices, their energy, and their attitudes, and using that awareness to consciously shift what no longer serves. He emphasizes that real change is neither instant nor easy, but grows from deep inner work, heartfelt gratitude for every experience (even the painful ones), and clarity about what our soul truly desires rather than what society tells us to want, all while leaving space for the universe’s unexpected magic to surprise us. Sharing a story of an unforeseen blessing that appeared as he did his own inner work, Sam encourages listeners to try this “prescription” in their own lives, notice how life responds, and consciously co-create a more abundant, peaceful, and aligned reality.
00:00:40.790 --> 00:00:53.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Good afternoon, my conscious co-creators! Good morning, good evening, wherever you're tuning in from. Welcome to the Conscious Consultant Hour, Awakening Humanity.
00:00:53.340 --> 00:01:03.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I am very, very pleased that you are all here with me today. We've got a wonderful show in store for you with an amazing guest.
00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:14.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hopefully he gets on the show… gets on the stream soon. But first, of course, as always, we have our, blog post from a couple of years ago.
00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:21.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And this one, I think, is, pretty apropos for today's topic.
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:25.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And today's blog post is entitled…
00:01:26.110 --> 00:01:30.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gratitude is a choice we can make anytime.
00:01:32.290 --> 00:01:35.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes, it is hard to feel grateful.
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There is so much in our lives and the world that causes us pain.
00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:46.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We fear for what will happen tomorrow or the next day.
00:01:47.170 --> 00:01:51.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All of our concerns take us out of gratitude and peace.
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:57.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because, ultimately, they take us out of presence.
00:01:58.340 --> 00:02:03.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: For in the present moment, Everything is usually okay.
00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:10.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The fears and concerns we have are all about the past, or the future.
00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:17.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Rarely are they about what is happening right here, right now.
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:23.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we can just stop for a moment, and be here in the now.
00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:27.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We might find something that surprises us.
00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:35.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: In the present moment, There is actually a lot to be grateful for.
00:02:35.910 --> 00:02:37.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We are a lie.
00:02:37.630 --> 00:02:39.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We have our breath.
00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:41.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We have shelter and food.
00:02:42.490 --> 00:02:46.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes, it can feel like we do not have much.
00:02:46.970 --> 00:02:49.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Until we step out of our own life.
00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:54.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And see that there are others who have so much less.
00:02:56.370 --> 00:03:03.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we are called to have gratitude from an external source, We might resist it.
00:03:04.110 --> 00:03:08.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: For it is not something that is coming up for us naturally.
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This is understandable.
00:03:11.330 --> 00:03:19.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Still We have cultivated… if we… still, if we can cultivate gratitude, if we want
00:03:20.170 --> 00:03:23.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Still, we can cultivate gratitude if we want to.
00:03:23.740 --> 00:03:27.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can change how we feel if we are willing to.
00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:35.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when we make the decision to find things to be grateful for, We can find them.
00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:40.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then, gratitude becomes a choice.
00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:49.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Choosing to find things that we can feel gratitude for is a power within all of us.
00:03:50.450 --> 00:03:54.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is our choice to exercise this power or not.
00:03:55.640 --> 00:04:02.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So if you're not feeling gratitude this moment, Perhaps there is a reason.
00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:05.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What are you focusing on?
00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:07.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where is your attention?
00:04:09.570 --> 00:04:15.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If you want to stay where you are, you can just keep focusing on those things.
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Should you want to change that feeling, you can.
00:04:21.269 --> 00:04:23.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Change your focus.
00:04:23.380 --> 00:04:26.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Change what you're giving your attention to.
00:04:26.900 --> 00:04:29.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And you will change your feelings.
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:32.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the choice.
00:04:32.260 --> 00:04:33.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is yours.
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What are you choosing to feel now?
00:04:38.200 --> 00:04:41.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Would it be better to find something else?
00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:44.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To be grateful for, instead.
00:04:46.330 --> 00:04:53.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I wrote this blog post Couple of years ago.
00:04:54.280 --> 00:04:59.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I believe I was working with a client
00:05:01.170 --> 00:05:04.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Who was having difficulty feeling grateful
00:05:05.260 --> 00:05:08.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: For what was going on in their lives at the time.
00:05:08.730 --> 00:05:16.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because there was so much chaos and disruption and problems and relationships and career and things like that.
00:05:19.050 --> 00:05:34.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And, and so, it just… Kind of triggered in me an exploration of… You know, Feeling grateful.
00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:42.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is something that… We often associate with some kind of external event.
00:05:43.330 --> 00:05:46.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When X happens, I feel grateful.
00:05:47.900 --> 00:05:57.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we forget… But… Gratefulness is something we can cultivate At any point in time.
00:06:01.570 --> 00:06:12.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because… The mind cannot tell the difference between a vividly imagined experience And a real experience.
00:06:14.990 --> 00:06:20.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, if we can recall something, Or make something up.
00:06:21.470 --> 00:06:23.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To be grateful for.
00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:28.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's something in the past, maybe it's something in the future.
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:40.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or maybe it's just about Looking… At what we have, Right here, right now, To be grateful for.
00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:50.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And… When we just take some inventory.
00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:58.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And in the blog, I mention it, but I find a really useful tool…
00:07:01.650 --> 00:07:06.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we're having a hard time finding something to be grateful for.
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is to look at someone less fortunate.
00:07:11.260 --> 00:07:13.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Compare what you have
00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:24.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to some poor, starving child in Africa, or India, or China, or, you know, someplace in the world where there's not enough food.
00:07:25.260 --> 00:07:32.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If you have a roof over your head and four walls around you to protect you from the elements.
00:07:33.950 --> 00:07:42.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That is something to be grateful for, because there are a lot of people who don't don't have… as…
00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:45.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Stable structure to live in.
00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:49.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: May not even have a house at all.
00:07:51.410 --> 00:08:04.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even in the United States, you can see people living on the street. I mean, here in New York City, you see people living on the street all the time. Just the other day, my wife and I were walking past some
00:08:05.090 --> 00:08:08.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: A storefront that was closed for the day.
00:08:08.440 --> 00:08:15.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And there was a man with a bunch of cardboard boxes, kind of setting up his little bed.
00:08:15.550 --> 00:08:17.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To crash for the night.
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:29.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, I paused a moment ago because it had just started kind of raining and snowing here out my window, and it just caught me by surprise.
00:08:31.880 --> 00:08:35.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And talking about that guy we saw the other night.
00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:37.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I just thought, can you imagine?
00:08:38.590 --> 00:08:39.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You're homeless.
00:08:40.169 --> 00:08:43.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You're trying to find a place to sleep somewhere.
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The shelters are full.
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All you have is a cardboard box.
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it starts raining and sleeting and snowing.
00:08:55.950 --> 00:08:57.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's not a life for anyone.
00:09:01.110 --> 00:09:03.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, if you have a bed to sleep in.
00:09:05.950 --> 00:09:17.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If you have enough food in your kitchen cabinet, If you have… any of… the…
00:09:19.010 --> 00:09:28.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: accoutrements of a Western life. You have a computer, a phone, a Books, a chair, a desk.
00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:30.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You are.
00:09:30.450 --> 00:09:37.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Far more fortunate than a good, good, good portion of the world.
00:09:41.330 --> 00:09:43.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that's something to be grateful for.
00:09:46.770 --> 00:09:49.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, it's so interesting. We…
00:09:49.490 --> 00:09:55.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We often lose that sense of gratitude when we focus on what we do… don't have.
00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:04.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet when we focus on what we do have, Hmm.
00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:09.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then we have something to be grateful for.
00:10:12.400 --> 00:10:15.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: In the world of art and painting and drawing.
00:10:15.970 --> 00:10:25.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They sometimes called it looking at the negative space compared to the positive space. The positive space is the actual image, the negative space is what surrounds it.
00:10:27.540 --> 00:10:30.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I thought it's such a great analogy.
00:10:31.050 --> 00:10:37.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Do we look at the positive space in our life, what we have, or do we look at the negative space, what we don't have?
00:10:39.770 --> 00:10:40.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And look…
00:10:41.170 --> 00:10:51.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes we're going through hard times. Sometimes in the moment we're in pain, we're in a situation that feels unbearable.
00:10:51.340 --> 00:11:01.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're struggling in many different ways, so it can be hard to feel gratitude in the moment, because things aren't okay in the moment.
00:11:02.330 --> 00:11:15.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I'm not trying to minimize that, and I'm not trying to say, you know, we have this Pollyanna attitude, and just, oh, everything's fine and happy and good, and ignore the reality of the situation. No, that's not what I'm saying.
00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:26.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But you see, those moments are small moments compared to our overall life.
00:11:29.850 --> 00:11:32.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, just look back over the past month.
00:11:34.890 --> 00:11:37.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How many moments in the past month
00:11:39.350 --> 00:11:42.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Have been truly torturous for you.
00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:47.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Versus moments where you could just sit
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And be present to all the things you have in your life, and find a moment to be grateful.
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:09.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I guess, ultimately… oops… ultimately… Post is trying to say… is… Gratitude is a choice.
00:12:12.300 --> 00:12:18.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe not 100% of the time, okay? I'm… look, let's get real.
00:12:18.380 --> 00:12:24.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're not always going to be happy 100% of the time, and I don't believe we're here to be happy 100% of the time.
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But we can have gratitude even when we're not happy.
00:12:29.970 --> 00:12:32.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can have gratitude.
00:12:32.390 --> 00:12:34.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Aren't going our way.
00:12:35.330 --> 00:12:38.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oops, sorry, my microphone keeps cutting in and out.
00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:42.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can have gratitude.
00:12:42.520 --> 00:12:46.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Even when we're going through a difficult situation.
00:12:52.630 --> 00:12:54.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gratitude is a choice.
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it's a choice we can make.
00:12:58.300 --> 00:13:00.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Almost anytime.
00:13:03.270 --> 00:13:08.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because gratitude is determined by what we choose to focus on.
00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:18.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now, the key is… You really have to feel it in your body.
00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:21.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If you really want to feel grateful in the moment.
00:13:22.390 --> 00:13:27.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You've got to take that thing that you can cultivate gratitude around.
00:13:29.390 --> 00:13:34.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And really feel it drop into your heart, drop into your body.
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How does it feel in the moment?
00:13:38.470 --> 00:13:41.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To have whatever it is that you're grateful for.
00:13:42.230 --> 00:13:45.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whether it's… Wonderful friends.
00:13:46.070 --> 00:13:48.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Whether it's a job you love.
00:13:48.690 --> 00:13:53.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or maybe it's a child in your life.
00:13:53.170 --> 00:13:56.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or maybe it's a relationship, or maybe it's…
00:13:56.770 --> 00:14:02.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where you live, or maybe it's an opportunity coming your way, even if it's not right here, right now.
00:14:05.450 --> 00:14:09.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And just feel, what does gratitude feel like in your body?
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What does it mean to you?
00:14:19.800 --> 00:14:23.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because… Our feelings are in our body.
00:14:23.660 --> 00:14:29.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To truly feel something, it's not all up in the mind, it's not in the head, it's in the body.
00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:33.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So how does your body feel?
00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:34.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When it's grateful.

00:18:38.230 --> 00:18:51.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And welcome back to the Conscious Consultant Hour, Awakening Humanity. My guest today apparently is MIA. We'll see what we can do to get in touch with him, to get him on the show.
00:18:52.250 --> 00:18:59.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The title of the show is going to be with him, Beyond Positive Thinking, and I think I'm going to… to stick with that.
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:15.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because… you know… So many people talk about positive thinking. Because of the movie The Secret,
00:19:15.690 --> 00:19:27.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This idea that all we have to do is think positive, and, you know, we'll get whatever we're trying to get.
00:19:29.060 --> 00:19:29.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And…
00:19:30.550 --> 00:19:38.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And if anybody's really tried to use positive thinking in that way, they find that it really doesn't work that well. Now…
00:19:39.340 --> 00:19:47.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is there a benefit to positive thinking? Absolutely. I read Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Positive Thinking, years and years ago.
00:19:49.080 --> 00:19:52.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And yes, it is much better to think positively than not.
00:19:53.030 --> 00:19:56.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I do believe in being an optimist, not a pessimist.
00:19:57.810 --> 00:20:05.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: However… Using positive thinking, To create something in your life.
00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:13.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's kind of like we're trying to manipulate the universe into giving us what we want.
00:20:14.350 --> 00:20:20.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we think that, oh, if I just think positive, I'll get this, that, or the other thing.
00:20:22.730 --> 00:20:25.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Doesn't really work that way.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:38.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And of course, there are tons of practices around positive thinking, your vision boards, your intentions, all kind of stuff like that.
00:20:42.270 --> 00:20:46.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: In my experience, those things can work to a point.
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: However… Oftentimes, it doesn't.
00:20:56.550 --> 00:20:59.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And the reason why it doesn't…
00:21:00.450 --> 00:21:04.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is because as much as we try to convince ourselves
00:21:05.450 --> 00:21:12.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That we deserve to have this thing that we're trying to be so positive about.
00:21:14.110 --> 00:21:17.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There are almost always unconscious factors.
00:21:18.930 --> 00:21:26.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: From our parents, from our childhood, from our experiences growing up, that start from a very, very young age.
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:40.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That train our subconscious into believing that we're not worth it, that we're not worthy, that we don't deserve to be happy, that we don't deserve to have joy in our lives.
00:21:42.810 --> 00:21:46.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And no amount of positive thinking.
00:21:46.330 --> 00:21:50.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is going to overcome those internal feelings.
00:21:51.630 --> 00:21:55.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Those internal feelings will consistently sabotage.
00:21:55.730 --> 00:21:57.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The positive thinking.
00:22:04.970 --> 00:22:08.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, does this mean we can't have what we want?
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Not at all. Not at all.
00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:18.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But from my perspective, There's a couple of steps in the process.
00:22:20.670 --> 00:22:22.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And this work is not easy work.
00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:29.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because we really have to unwind.
00:22:29.430 --> 00:22:37.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and metabolize these… Ancient beliefs. Habits.
00:22:37.550 --> 00:22:40.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Feelings in our nervous system.
00:22:41.210 --> 00:22:44.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To truly be able to bring to us
00:22:44.940 --> 00:22:48.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The things we want to bring to ourselves.
00:22:49.270 --> 00:22:53.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So… What does that mean?
00:22:55.050 --> 00:22:58.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That means having to do some deep, personal, inner work.
00:23:00.090 --> 00:23:02.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that can look like a lot of different things.
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: For some people, that means working with a professional therapist or an analyst of some kind.
00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:16.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: For others, it might mean working with a life guide, a coach.
00:23:16.690 --> 00:23:27.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: For others, it could be working with a facilitator, you know? I'm very big on the idea of using plant medicine and psychedelics to help rewire the brain.
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:32.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And to help unwind these past traumas.
00:23:34.390 --> 00:23:37.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can be following a spiritual practice.
00:23:38.110 --> 00:23:39.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Like, my…
00:23:40.140 --> 00:23:49.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: becoming a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Christian, a Jew, but, like, really following the spiritual practices, learning to meditate.
00:23:49.930 --> 00:23:55.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And just giving yourself the gift of sitting still for 20 minutes a day.
00:24:00.070 --> 00:24:03.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can look like so many different things.
00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:08.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But it…
00:24:08.310 --> 00:24:14.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: has to be one of the things. And I'm sure there's a myriad more ton of other things
00:24:16.230 --> 00:24:22.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it could look like than what I have mentioned. I've just touched upon a few of them.
00:24:27.470 --> 00:24:32.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a first… We have to… Shine a light.
00:24:33.810 --> 00:24:36.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: On why we feel.
00:24:37.090 --> 00:24:40.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we're not deserving. I mean, first we have to recognize
00:24:40.530 --> 00:24:43.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Like, are there these feelings inside of us?
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:49.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where we feel we don't deserve, that we don't feel good enough, that we don't feel…
00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:51.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That we're capable.
00:24:52.130 --> 00:24:53.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or worthy.
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:02.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it could be from… An offhand comment from a parent when we were a little child.
00:25:03.050 --> 00:25:07.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It could be from something a sibling did or said to us, or a friend.
00:25:08.170 --> 00:25:09.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That just stuck with us.
00:25:12.210 --> 00:25:14.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: From many, many different places.
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:22.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And if we took on that energy, if we took on that feeling, and it's a part of us.
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're not going to excise it, we're not going to cut it out of ourselves, we're not going to release it.
00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:34.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What we can do is shine a light on it.
00:25:36.620 --> 00:25:41.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What we can do is recognize it for what it is.
00:25:43.100 --> 00:25:51.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because all these feelings of not being good enough, and oh, I can't try anything new because I'm gonna fail and get hurt and all this stuff, it's all…
00:25:52.320 --> 00:25:55.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's all meant to protect us, to help us to survive.
00:25:59.650 --> 00:26:09.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So… One of the first ways to start to metabolize these feelings of unworthiness.
00:26:10.130 --> 00:26:11.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is with gratitude.
00:26:12.990 --> 00:26:14.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be grateful.
00:26:14.980 --> 00:26:23.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That these mechanisms, these patterns, these programs, these behaviors But they did their job.
00:26:23.870 --> 00:26:27.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They kept us alive, they kept us from being hurt.
00:26:29.630 --> 00:26:34.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So the first thing is to look at In what ways?
00:26:34.450 --> 00:26:42.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Did these feelings… That perhaps today are not working for our best interests.
00:26:42.810 --> 00:26:44.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How in the past they did.
00:26:46.860 --> 00:26:50.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And having some gratitude for them.
00:26:51.370 --> 00:26:53.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Even if they're not serving us now.
00:26:54.150 --> 00:26:56.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But that they did serve us in the past.
00:27:00.030 --> 00:27:04.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so, when we can find… any reason.
00:27:05.760 --> 00:27:10.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Why these things that today might be keeping us from the things we want.
00:27:13.280 --> 00:27:18.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we can find any reason at all of why and how they served us in the past.
00:27:19.230 --> 00:27:24.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Having some gratitude releases the tightness of that grip.
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:31.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Might not completely metabolize it, but at least it… it lightens it.
00:27:32.690 --> 00:27:40.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And by shining the light of consciousness, shining the light of awareness on those sides of ourselves.
00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:45.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That we can be aware.
00:27:46.970 --> 00:27:56.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then when we notice ourselves saying something, doing something, making certain choices or decisions that maybe aren't in our best interest.
00:27:57.510 --> 00:28:01.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can stop ourselves for a moment and look at it.
00:28:01.690 --> 00:28:08.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Let's say, hmm… I wonder if this is coming from that old pattern of unworthiness.
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And taking a moment.
00:28:17.050 --> 00:28:18.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To appreciate it.
00:28:18.820 --> 00:28:22.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But letting it know that you want to make a different choice now.
00:28:23.250 --> 00:28:26.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And being aware of it, but putting it to the side.
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:31.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I appreciate you trying to protect me, but I don't need that kind of protection now.
00:28:33.330 --> 00:28:38.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I understand this is the way I've been, but I choose to make a different decision now.
00:28:40.100 --> 00:28:44.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see these choices that we make, and these patterns that we live into.
00:28:45.430 --> 00:28:48.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can't change them if we're not aware of them.
00:28:51.850 --> 00:29:00.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And one of the reasons why it is so helpful to work with a professional, or to work with someone outside of ourselves.
00:29:01.060 --> 00:29:06.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is because they can see the patterns in us much better than we can see them ourselves.
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:12.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because we're in the middle of it. We're living our life. It's hard to get a perspective on it.
00:29:14.330 --> 00:29:19.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But when you work with a therapist, a coach, a guide, a facilitator.
00:29:20.350 --> 00:29:28.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They can see things much more clearly, because they're not so emotionally tied to your particular situation.
00:29:29.610 --> 00:29:39.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so they can have… The outside, unattached perspective that we need to help us to recognize
00:29:39.580 --> 00:29:40.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what we're doing.
00:29:45.310 --> 00:29:49.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so when we can see it, then we can change it.
00:29:51.470 --> 00:29:56.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And now changing these old patterns, these old habits are not so easy.
00:29:58.630 --> 00:30:00.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But we do it a step at a time.
00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:06.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We don't need to overwhelm ourselves. We don't need to go from 0 to 100 overnight.
00:30:06.550 --> 00:30:09.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, if you do, great, wonderful, keep it up.
00:30:10.140 --> 00:30:14.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I feel like most people, Not usually what happens.
00:30:19.150 --> 00:30:26.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so… Doing this deep inner work goes way beyond just positive thinking.
00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:36.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Alright, so, I'm going to take a quick break. When we come back.
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:40.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We'll talk about, sort of, the next step.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:46.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Like I said, there are a couple of steps with this, but this is sort of a foundational piece.
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That we need to work on first.
00:30:50.750 --> 00:30:54.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then as we work on this, then we move to the next step.
00:30:54.250 --> 00:31:06.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Which I'll talk about in just a moment. So everyone, please stay tuned. You're listening to The Conscious Consultant Hour, Awakening Humanity, and we'll be right back after this.
00:32:50.150 --> 00:33:03.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And welcome back to the Conscious Consultant Hour, Awakening Humanity. Unfortunately, my guests did not make it today, so… But we're continuing on that theme of beyond positive thinking.
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:17.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And… don't get me wrong, I think positive thinking is a wonderful tool, but it has its limitations. And we've been talking about, well, how do we go beyond it? And so the first thing is doing that interpersonal, deep work.
00:33:18.650 --> 00:33:32.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And finding the root causes, going into those deep places where we feel unworthy, not valuable, not good enough, all those uncomfortable, challenging feelings.
00:33:33.030 --> 00:33:37.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And shining a light on them, starting to metabolize that energy.
00:33:37.870 --> 00:33:43.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: First, by having gratitude for it, and then recognizing it for what it is, a protection mechanism.
00:33:45.100 --> 00:33:49.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So let's say we've started to do that work, and that work is lifelong work.
00:33:50.120 --> 00:34:04.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, you may be good in the moment, but there's always different angles and different aspects. That's okay. You don't have to get it all done. It's not a 100% thing in order to start doing stuff. The more we unwind it, the more we touch upon it, the better and better things get.
00:34:05.940 --> 00:34:07.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So what's the next step?
00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:14.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Well, as we're doing that deep inner exploration.
00:34:15.830 --> 00:34:19.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oftentimes, there's a realization that comes with it.
00:34:19.940 --> 00:34:26.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oftentimes, the next step is… recognizing
00:34:27.010 --> 00:34:31.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That we actually are the creators of our life.
00:34:34.790 --> 00:34:44.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And you're like, wait a minute, Sam, what do you mean I'm creating a life? No, my parents created me, I was born into this situation, you know, all these things around me. What do you mean I created my life?
00:34:45.250 --> 00:34:49.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sorry to tell you, but yeah, you actually do create your life.
00:34:52.870 --> 00:35:01.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We create our life Every single moment, day to day, Through many different facets.
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:06.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: First, with our choices and our decisions, we create our life.
00:35:08.350 --> 00:35:15.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But oftentimes, we're not even aware of why we're making the choices we're making and doing the things that we do.
00:35:17.600 --> 00:35:22.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, the second thing is… We create our life.
00:35:22.470 --> 00:35:24.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Through our attitudes.
00:35:24.940 --> 00:35:31.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Whether we have a more positive, uplifting attitude, okay, here's where a little positive thinking comes in.
00:35:31.930 --> 00:35:40.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or are we more pessimistic, negative? Are we more skeptical, or are we more a believer? There's nothing wrong with being skeptical.
00:35:41.700 --> 00:35:48.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's just knowing that that's… when we're skeptical, that's going to create certain outcomes.
00:35:49.160 --> 00:35:55.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when we're a believer, that creates certain outcomes, and also if we're gullible, that creates certain outcomes.
00:35:56.990 --> 00:36:10.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So what are our attitudes towards life? Do we believe that life is here to serve us, support us, that life is abundant? Or do we believe that in scarcity and fear and limitation
00:36:13.630 --> 00:36:15.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We create our life.
00:36:15.740 --> 00:36:19.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: With the energy we bring to our life.
00:36:20.050 --> 00:36:23.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that energy dictates so much.
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:34.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when… and the awareness… The awareness of how we enter into things.
00:36:38.490 --> 00:36:42.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So we create our life in a million different ways.
00:36:44.950 --> 00:36:47.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When I think back over my own life.
00:36:49.250 --> 00:36:55.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, so many decisions, which at the time seemed not that big a deal.
00:36:56.380 --> 00:37:00.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Completely changed my life and led me in a totally different direction.
00:37:01.730 --> 00:37:06.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Like, just thinking about… Like, which college did I go to?
00:37:06.260 --> 00:37:17.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because of the decision I made, where I went, I met certain people that took my life in a certain direction, that had I made a different choice, would have taken my life in a completely different direction.
00:37:21.030 --> 00:37:27.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When I chose to start looking for work, what kind of a job did I look for?
00:37:27.530 --> 00:37:35.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, how did I want to use my energy, my tools, my, my, my talents?
00:37:36.390 --> 00:37:41.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the decision to leave the corporate world after 9 years, like, I've had enough of this.
00:37:42.470 --> 00:37:44.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I need an out.
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And becoming a consultant and starting to work for myself.
00:37:48.730 --> 00:37:51.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That was a huge decision in my life.
00:37:54.020 --> 00:38:12.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then starting to work with one person, and working with him on two or three different companies, and then leaving that, and starting another company, and then that working, and then going into choosing to go into real estate right at the wrong time, and then losing my shirt in real estate. Like, that made a huge impact on my life.
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:27.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that choice to go to that party where I met Giorgio, who sold me the wellness center and the radio station 15… over 15 years ago. Had I not made the choice to go to that party.
00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:30.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I would not be doing what I'm doing today.
00:38:34.530 --> 00:38:35.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes.
00:38:35.720 --> 00:38:41.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There is serendipity. Yes, there are coincidences, though. I don't believe anything's really a coincidence.
00:38:41.970 --> 00:38:44.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yes, there are things that happen that
00:38:44.770 --> 00:38:51.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Can nudge us one way or another, but it's always up to us to decide to follow that or not.
00:38:56.530 --> 00:39:01.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So when I look back over my life, I've created my life.
00:39:01.600 --> 00:39:04.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Through all these different choices.
00:39:11.140 --> 00:39:13.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And there were times in my life
00:39:14.110 --> 00:39:20.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when I look back on it, that it's really hard to admit, oh my god, I created that, and I absolutely did.
00:39:24.150 --> 00:39:27.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can be really challenging, because…
00:39:27.620 --> 00:39:31.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To admit to ourselves that we create our life.
00:39:31.900 --> 00:39:35.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We don't create our situations. Sometimes we do.
00:39:37.630 --> 00:39:41.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But oftentimes, we end up in situations that are not of our making.
00:39:42.570 --> 00:39:44.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But how we respond.
00:39:46.100 --> 00:39:47.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How we show up.
00:39:48.860 --> 00:39:52.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The choices we make within those situations.
00:39:53.410 --> 00:39:56.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Create our life from that situation.
00:40:00.750 --> 00:40:06.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so sometimes we end up in really challenging situations that are hard.
00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:12.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I ended up, when I was still in college, living with someone who was schizophrenic.
00:40:14.460 --> 00:40:19.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And for 6 years, On almost a daily basis.
00:40:22.010 --> 00:40:25.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I was having to deal with his craziness.
00:40:26.870 --> 00:40:29.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That was my choice. I didn't have to do that.
00:40:33.670 --> 00:40:35.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And making that choice.
00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:43.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Cause me to feel certain ways that then caused me to make a lot of decisions after that.
00:40:49.330 --> 00:40:50.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And owning that.
00:40:53.990 --> 00:40:56.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That can sometimes sting a bit.
00:40:58.540 --> 00:41:04.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The biggest challenge with accepting that we create our life
00:41:05.790 --> 00:41:09.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is then, we have to accept we create all of our life.
00:41:11.680 --> 00:41:15.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Of course, as I mentioned, there are certain things we have no control over.
00:41:15.830 --> 00:41:18.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I had no control over my friend being schizophrenic.
00:41:20.810 --> 00:41:29.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But did you notice I chose to put myself in that situation, just as I chose my… to extricate myself from that situation.
00:41:29.750 --> 00:41:32.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Even though it was very difficult and very challenging.
00:41:34.810 --> 00:41:37.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You see, we always have choice.
00:41:39.600 --> 00:41:42.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We always have choices.
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:49.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We may not like the consequences of those choices, but we always have choice.
00:41:54.120 --> 00:41:58.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: many people… End up in an abusive relationship.
00:42:02.200 --> 00:42:12.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And they choose to stay, for whatever reason. Maybe it's a married couple, and the woman is being abused by the man, and they choose to stay because of the children.
00:42:13.780 --> 00:42:22.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because they don't feel they'll be able to survive without the man, or because of, who knows, so many different reasons.
00:42:23.230 --> 00:42:25.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Until it gets to be too much.
00:42:25.680 --> 00:42:28.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then they finally make the choice to leave.
00:42:30.570 --> 00:42:38.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But you see… They may not have known the person was abusive before they married him, but the moment…
00:42:38.250 --> 00:42:44.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That first abuse happened, they know from that point forward, that person made a choice to stay.
00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:54.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now, look, sometimes the abuser can threaten all kinds of things and convince the person to stay.
00:42:59.080 --> 00:43:05.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And look, if you're in that situation, my heart goes out to you, and I'm not saying it's easy.
00:43:06.200 --> 00:43:08.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I'm not saying…
00:43:08.350 --> 00:43:14.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, that you've done something wrong. If someone else is abusing you, they're doing something wrong.
00:43:17.060 --> 00:43:23.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The thing to recognize, and even the worst situation is we always have choice.
00:43:28.830 --> 00:43:32.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that's something that goes way beyond positive thinking.
00:43:36.060 --> 00:43:42.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because if things are bad, positive thinking is not going to get you out of that situation.
00:43:43.940 --> 00:43:48.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Only our choices are gonna get us out of that situation.
00:43:51.350 --> 00:43:55.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that can be a really hard thing to accept.
00:43:58.050 --> 00:43:59.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I get it.
00:44:01.370 --> 00:44:02.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I totally get it.
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:05.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It ain't easy.
00:44:06.650 --> 00:44:09.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But no one ever said life was easy.
00:44:09.200 --> 00:44:13.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: As the old expression goes, nobody promised me a rose garden.
00:44:15.180 --> 00:44:17.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Life is what life is.
00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:20.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And sometimes…
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:31.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from a spiritual perspective, we put ourselves into those challenging situations to help us to grow, to help… to have some resistance so we can build up
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:35.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The emotional, spiritual, psychic muscles.
00:44:37.540 --> 00:44:39.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To be able to grow.
00:44:40.390 --> 00:44:42.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And do better, and be better.
00:44:44.890 --> 00:44:50.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can all serve us, even if it doesn't feel like it serves us. It can.
00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:01.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So… What goes beyond positive thinking?
00:45:01.580 --> 00:45:04.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The deep inner work of looking at
00:45:04.730 --> 00:45:11.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our inner feelings, and how long we've held on to them, and what they're all about, and shining a light on them.
00:45:12.070 --> 00:45:13.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And next.
00:45:14.080 --> 00:45:18.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Coming to the acceptance that we create our life.
00:45:22.990 --> 00:45:25.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then there's a little third piece to it.
00:45:27.330 --> 00:45:29.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That makes all the difference in the world.
00:45:30.640 --> 00:45:32.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we'll get to that third piece.
00:45:33.510 --> 00:45:35.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: In just a moment.
00:45:35.590 --> 00:45:38.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We need to take a little break, and then we'll come back.
00:45:39.020 --> 00:45:44.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So you are listening to The Conscious Consultant, Awakening Humanity.
00:45:46.260 --> 00:45:49.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we'll be right back after this.
00:47:23.270 --> 00:47:33.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And welcome back to the Conscious Consultant Hour Awakening Humanity. We're talking, this hour all about beyond positive thinking.
00:47:34.470 --> 00:47:37.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And what does it really take to create the life we want?
00:47:38.890 --> 00:47:49.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So let's review what we've gone over so far. You know, the importance of gratitude, doing the deep inner work, realizing that we create our life.
00:47:50.460 --> 00:47:55.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Through our energy, our attitudes, our choices, our decisions.
00:47:57.180 --> 00:47:59.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then the last piece is…
00:48:00.700 --> 00:48:08.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we recognize that we're a creator, Taking the responsibility.
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:10.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To change our life.
00:48:13.450 --> 00:48:20.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That once we accept that we have created our life up until this point in time, That means…
00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:23.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can change it anytime we want.
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:30.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Every day is a new day. Every morning is a new morning. When we wake up, we can decide
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:33.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can make different choices.
00:48:35.310 --> 00:48:42.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Again, not from a superficial, oh, let me just think positive thoughts point of view.
00:48:44.140 --> 00:48:46.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: From a deeper place.
00:48:50.100 --> 00:48:55.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: deep inside our heart, deciding, is this what I want, or do I want something different?
00:48:57.720 --> 00:49:01.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And taking ownership of everything in our life.
00:49:04.250 --> 00:49:11.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If our relationships aren't great, Who's the one common person in all those relationships? It's you. It's us.
00:49:13.770 --> 00:49:20.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If there's something we don't like about our career, about our health, about any aspect of our life.
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:24.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We have the choice.
00:49:29.890 --> 00:49:32.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we can choose to change it.
00:49:33.930 --> 00:49:52.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it's making the choice to do the things we need to do to change. Now look, is change easy? Absolutely not. There's always inertia, there's always things that make it easier for us to stay where we are, as opposed to make a different choice.
00:49:53.640 --> 00:50:01.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So does it take effort? Absolutely. Does it take repetition? Absolutely. Does it take more awareness? Absolutely.
00:50:04.640 --> 00:50:05.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But you know what?
00:50:06.780 --> 00:50:10.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we recognize that, that we have that power.
00:50:12.260 --> 00:50:28.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If instead of beating ourselves up over all the quote-unquote bad decisions we make, which weren't really bad decisions, they were the only decisions we were able to make at the time, because we were all doing the best we can with what we have in the moment.
00:50:32.670 --> 00:50:35.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We… Always have a choice.
00:50:36.120 --> 00:50:38.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we can have gratitude for that.
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:49.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we can have gratitude, Everything in our life, and how it serves us in some different way.
00:50:51.220 --> 00:50:53.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Like, then we can be free of it.
00:50:54.090 --> 00:51:01.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: then we don't have to hold on to it. Then we can metabolize all these energies, and we can move in a new direction.
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:15.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then the more clarity we have, the more clear we are on what we want and what we don't want, we really want to focus on what we do want, not what we don't want. Because when you… whatever you focus on, you're giving your energy to.
00:51:16.130 --> 00:51:30.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So by being super clear what we want, focusing on that, writing it down, see, that's when the vision boards can be really helpful, because they help to clarify what it is we truly want in our life.
00:51:30.770 --> 00:51:39.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The tricky thing is, you know, oftentimes we think we want things because of societal programming, and they're not the things we really want.
00:51:42.050 --> 00:51:51.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Like, maybe we think we want a big business with millions of dollars, and jet-setting from here to there, and this glamorous life, and it sounds so wonderful.
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:55.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But what we really want in our heart of hearts
00:51:56.420 --> 00:52:00.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's just more peace, more time with friends and family.
00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:02.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's a simpler life.
00:52:03.380 --> 00:52:07.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or maybe we just want more freedom, and we want to be a digital nomad.
00:52:07.770 --> 00:52:12.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or maybe we just want… To spend more time with…
00:52:12.680 --> 00:52:19.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the person we love the most in the world. Or maybe we want to be by ourselves, or maybe we just want to connect with nature more.
00:52:22.120 --> 00:52:31.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Just because society says that if we don't have millions of dollars, we're… we're not to be taken seriously.
00:52:32.240 --> 00:52:33.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's society's.
00:52:34.140 --> 00:52:35.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Issue, not ours.
00:52:36.340 --> 00:52:38.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can make a different choice.
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:46.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So when we know, truly, what brings us peace, what brings us joy in our hearts, and we get clear on that.
00:52:47.670 --> 00:52:51.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then we know where we want to go. Then we have a direction.
00:52:53.390 --> 00:52:57.999 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: My one caveat to that is… Being clear is wonderful.
00:52:58.260 --> 00:53:04.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But always leave room for the magic of life. Always leave room for…
00:53:05.090 --> 00:53:09.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Life to bring us something that's even beyond our imagination.
00:53:10.990 --> 00:53:16.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I often say that the universe has a much better imagination for my life than I ever did.
00:53:17.550 --> 00:53:23.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And one of my superpowers was just being able to say yes to what life put in front of me.
00:53:24.250 --> 00:53:28.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes that got me in trouble, sometimes it worked out amazingly.
00:53:29.200 --> 00:53:34.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But the one thing I can tell you for sure, that I never imagined the life I would have today
00:53:35.060 --> 00:53:37.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: 15, 20, 30 years ago.
00:53:38.750 --> 00:53:48.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I would have no idea that I'd end up doing what I'm doing today, that I'd have the kind of life that I have today, the kinds of experiences that I have.
00:53:49.210 --> 00:53:51.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm so appreciative.
00:53:52.260 --> 00:53:53.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of where I am today.
00:53:54.830 --> 00:53:58.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: May have taken me a bit of time to get there.
00:54:00.180 --> 00:54:06.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So… The sooner you can get there. Maybe you get there much faster than I did.
00:54:07.720 --> 00:54:17.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The sooner you can become grateful for your life and where you are in life, The better everything gets.
00:54:20.230 --> 00:54:35.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The more we do the deep inner work, and we unwind those feelings of unworthiness and self-sabotage and not feeling good about ourselves, the more we metabolize those energies and get them to not control us.
00:54:38.230 --> 00:54:41.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our abundance naturally increases.
00:54:42.710 --> 00:54:51.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because we feel it in our bodies, we start making different choices, we start creating different situations in our life.
00:54:51.690 --> 00:54:55.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we start… Living a much better life.
00:54:58.810 --> 00:55:02.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it's sometimes a very subtle thing.
00:55:02.570 --> 00:55:06.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it sometimes shows up in ways we never expected.
00:55:07.370 --> 00:55:12.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And just one example that… I have so much gratitude.
00:55:13.790 --> 00:55:19.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for this person, and for this falling in my lap, I cannot tell you, but just a little thing.
00:55:20.600 --> 00:55:22.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I believe, because
00:55:23.570 --> 00:55:28.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I do feel better about myself than I did in the past. Something happened just this week.
00:55:29.250 --> 00:55:31.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That I never expected.
00:55:32.020 --> 00:55:37.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: somebody who I met at a networking event, and then we had a virtual one-on-one, and then
00:55:37.940 --> 00:55:52.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They live, you know, close to New York. We got together, had a conversation, and she asked me, well, what are you and your wife doing for Thanksgiving? And I said, oh, we rented a little Airbnb up in the Catskills, and we're gonna go up and just spend a few days out of the city.
00:55:52.960 --> 00:56:13.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And she's like, well, can you change your reservation? I go, yeah, I'm still in the grace period, I can cancel it without losing money. Why? She goes, well, I have this beautiful house up on a lake in Connecticut, and it's empty, and I believe it should be used, so if you want, you can, you know, stay at my house and just pay me for the cleaning fee.
00:56:13.640 --> 00:56:19.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I go, really? Oh my god, thank you so much. I couldn't believe she offered this to me.
00:56:19.420 --> 00:56:22.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, went over it, showed it to my wife, saw the pictures, it's…
00:56:23.970 --> 00:56:27.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So much bigger than the house we're gonna rent.
00:56:27.330 --> 00:56:31.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And all we have to do is play for the… cleaning fee?
00:56:31.250 --> 00:56:36.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oh my god, did the universe just trap a huge gift in my lap?
00:56:37.430 --> 00:56:39.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That I never expected?
00:56:41.110 --> 00:56:43.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To me, that's the magic of life.
00:56:45.930 --> 00:56:55.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's those little pieces that… If we're open and flexible, Angus said yes.
00:56:57.040 --> 00:57:00.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Like, the things that can show up are amazing.
00:57:02.270 --> 00:57:06.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Something like this never happened to me before, but why did it happen now?
00:57:06.790 --> 00:57:21.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because I continue to do my own work, because I continue to dive into those sometimes not-so-good-feeling places so I can metabolize those energies and be more conscious of them, and the more I metabolize them.
00:57:21.900 --> 00:57:25.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The more amazing things show up, because now…
00:57:25.340 --> 00:57:28.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I can feel a little bit more deserving.
00:57:30.160 --> 00:57:34.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So… How to go beyond just positive thinking.
00:57:34.980 --> 00:57:39.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Doing the deep inner work, recognizing that we create our life.
00:57:39.970 --> 00:57:48.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Taking responsibility, and knowing that we can change our life at any point in time by shifting our energy, our attitudes.
00:57:49.370 --> 00:57:51.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And our choices.
00:57:51.500 --> 00:57:54.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is this easy? Absolutely not.
00:57:55.050 --> 00:58:02.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Of course, it depends. For every individual, it's different. For every situation, it's different. For where you are, it can be different.
00:58:06.080 --> 00:58:11.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I… can almost… I can't guarantee, but I can almost guarantee
00:58:12.030 --> 00:58:20.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That if you follow this simple prescription, life will get better. How much better? I don't know. Better in what ways? I don't know.
00:58:21.060 --> 00:58:22.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You tell me.
