The Change Militia

11/23/2021

Here is a link to my latest creative endeavor. Adding a story to a lesson/message is something I plan on doing much more often. This one is semi-autobiographical. If you don't resonate with shame, every time I say "shame," plug in the word for whatever you struggle with.

For those that have like this page but aren't members, take another look at thechangemilitia.com or send me a message and we can arrange a time to chat.

Still offering personal sessions too, if that feels like a better fit.
Okay, that about covers my semi-annual Facebook posting. 😉

This is "Shame and Sourdough" by TCM - Kelly Sheets, Jeff Sanders on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Hey!

We don't send post here very often, but I thought this was something that would be worth a quick read.

We created a FREE program to help you or someone you know deal with the stress, overwhelm, fear, or frustration that might be present around the virus and its consequences.

If you would like to share it, here is a link:

https://www.thechangemilitia.com/staying-upbeat-in-a-lockdown/

The program is two-part. The first part gives five breathing and movement exercises that target specific fear patterns. The second part is a more robust version that uses full-body movement targeted to specific fears.

Check it out, please share it, and let me know if you have any questions.

Curiosity, kindness, playfulness and love are like “gateway drugs” to a deeply satiating sense of fulfillment. They are also the tenets for The Change Militia. Every concept, experiment or practice is done with these in mind.
👍
What increases fulfillment is HOW we do what we do, not necessarily what we do. It is who we are being when we do it.
You can have the very same transaction from a state of frustration or urgency or curiosity or playfulness and get completely different results.
🌺
And you don´t have to wait for a future time to change things. You can change what you are creating RIGHT NOW.
You can go into your very next interaction with yourself or others and CHOOSE one of these gateway states of being and experiment with your results. Experiment with valuing your state of being more than what you think and see what else is possible.
🌟
You are not your mind. Your mind is simply a function of you – one part of the whole you. Your mind will rebel against these light ways of being, devaluing them as things that can happen AFTER you figure it all out …THEN you can be playful, curious and happy!
🌺
Don´t be a victim to your mind and life!
I could FILL a book with all the crazy s**t my mind spews. And if I listened to it, I would miss the greatest gems of all – THE WAY TO FULFILLMENT is to BE these gateway states now. Not to wait. To create from these states of lightness.
💥
Your states of being are simply habits.
To create the life you want you need to create habits of your being and mind that cultivate who you want to be and what you want to experience.

It’s all about love in action. What a great day yesterday! Took Jeff to the water temple and he wanted to pray with the priest so we did! I usually go through the temple being present but I don’t really know why all the ritual happens except that it feels amazing and lights me up. We hired Putu and he was super helpful explaining the Hindu practices. And basically he distilled it down to Love and Action. Be love. Take action that is love. And he said many times - it all comes from inside. You can do the rituals and follow the symbolism but it means little unless it’s followed by action. Movement = change. This was pretty amazing to hear because everything we share in The Change Militia, he was expressing to us!!! I told Jeff we could be Hindu! We kept looking at each other smiling and saying “yes we get it” ❤️Putu also kept saying I am only a guide, YOU must do the work inside. Exactly what we know and share. We can have a path in front of us but we must take the steps forward, take the daily actions to change and grow.

Wrapping up our Bali Creatives Retreat here that is filled with the practices from The Change Militia and it’s stunning to see the transformation in one week for this group of an amazing ladies! We had fun and used the practices daily to unleash more creativity in work and personal lives. It all connects ❤️ Can’t wait to do it again in April!

Be the change. Start from the inside and be the person you wish to see in the world.

Everyday while in Bali this trip I have had insights and awarenesses that will improve my life and that are directly related to the practices of feeling more and understanding my energy from the program. As I move through my days here I am constantly aware of places where I can feel more and experience more fulfillment. I am present. I connect more easily and feel more joy! In serious appreciation of and for the practices that teach me about myself and I turn allow me to feel more alive ❤️

It’s been incredibly rewarding to recognize that 100% of the people in this program have significantly reduces or totally eliminated anxiety from their lives - so far! .birks is a beautiful example of someone who is an incredible person and yet still was challenged by a constant low grade anxiety. As that diminishes she is even more radiant!! Super fun to watch and be part of it.

What does it mean to be a kindness warrior? … especially in the seemingly current daily chaos.
😍
Being a kindness warrior is really all about changing the world from the inside out. I honestly had no idea what kindness really was or how powerful it was until I met Jeff 9 years ago. His example and practices he shares showed me another way.
:
My previous life involved a daily barrage of meanness to myself which led to me saying and doing things I used to fuel more self-judgment and hatred. Ouch.
😖
I was so demanding because I wanted the world to be a better place! I demanded that people wake up and be loving, tolerant, generous to the poor, caring to the animals, and engaged and aware of our environment. I saw the media was lying, I saw the destruction of cultures and I wanted to save the forests in these remote places. So much fear and suffering in my body. So much judgment.
🙏
Kind and demand do not go together. Ranting to and about other people and how bad things were, was not kind and it did not change much for the better, it simply perpetuated division and judgment.
🤯
My emotional, physical, energetic, mental – are all engaged when I am BEING kind and empathetic. I got there by doing specific simple practices that allowed me to experience this new way of being.
💥💥
THOSE PRACTICES HAVE BEEN A LIFE CHANGER. So now, the world continues on, the same as it was 20 years ago, perhaps worse. Chaos and destruction exist but I see it and respond to it in a whole new way. I am changing myself first. I am BEING kind to others and me. As a result, my fear level is incredibly low compared to when I was unkind to myself, which allows me to take clear, results oriented action. And I like myself, and others a lot more … even when we disagree.
😃
Kindness is not weak it is powerful. It has the power to change the world. Being a kindness warrior is not demanding that anyone be anything else, it is me being more aware of what kindness looks like in every moment of my life inside and out.
