Embracing Abundance and Choices

Jana Shelfer 0:00

Are you ready to create a life you crave ? Let's spin that doom loop of negativity into an upward success cycle and start Living Lucky® . Good morning , I'm Jana ,

Jason Shelfer 0:16

I'm Jason

Jana Shelfer 0:17

and we are Living Lucky® .

Jason Shelfer 0:19

You are , too .

Jana Shelfer 0:20

Abundance is everywhere .

Jason Shelfer 0:23

Right , and a lot of times we're looking for abundance but we already have it and we don't recognize every single person has it . It's just choosing and recognizing , becoming aware of where the universe is providing abundance for you right and there's someone out there right now because I was this person years ago that was like I'm getting so much of what I don't want and I didn't recognize that as abundance . You know it's like why am I not finding what I want ? Wrong question , and I realize I'm finding a lot of what I don't want .

Jana Shelfer 1:00

You know , it really was an aha moment for me when Jason said yesterday . It really was an aha moment for me when Jason said yesterday even if you are obese or overweight , that's the universe providing you abundance . You are abundant in food time . Do you know what I'm ?

Jason Shelfer 1:17

saying and you're not using what you're given . So you're given the time , but you're using it to just lay around , to be sedentary , to not move , to not exercise , and I think in our souls , like we're given these things , the opportunities , and our souls oftentimes will say I want to go do something .

Jason Shelfer 1:43

And then there's something else saying but I just want to stay comfortable , I want to stay in my comfort zone . So we can say that we want abundance , we want wealth and health and relationships and we don't take the action with what we're given .

Jana Shelfer 1:59

That is so spot on . That is so spot on .

Jason Shelfer 2:04

It's . I see it myself also , Like , like . I want to write a book and I have . We put so much like in our learning and the things that we've done , experienced , so what's stopping ?

Jana Shelfer 2:18

you .

Jason Shelfer 2:20

What we've done is that if I write the book , I'm going to be uncomfortable and I'm going to have to , and it's permanent . But it's really not right . So I can change my view anytime , because a belief is literally just your current level of understanding .

Jana Shelfer 2:35

Write it in pencil and then you can always erase , See and that's a great idea .

Jason Shelfer 2:40

Seriously , you said it like it's a simple fix , but oftentimes it is a simple fix . It's just saying I , I'm going to do this because it's something that's in me and I want to do and I'm willing to put the work in . It's like it's a different topic , but the guitar , like that's something I thought like I've romanticized about and fantasized about for your whole life . I had a guitar for 25 years and I haven't . It's been a case for 25 years , except for like three times when I pulled it out to take lessons .

Jana Shelfer 3:12

I was going through my piano music and I found these books that we bought . Learn the ukulele , yeah .

Jason Shelfer 3:20

I was . Jason went through a very , very brief brief ukulele stint Because I was looking for an easier way . To learn the guitar , to learn the guitar Because being around a campfire , being in a crowd , it feels good to just sing those kumbaya type songs . Easy for me to say .

Jason Shelfer 3:40

So would you say , then you're abundant in , I'm abundant in capability and ideas and capability , but I'm not like there's a capacity thing , so it's like picking those things that I really I'm really inspired to do and inspire myself to do and feel it's . It's a stretch for my comfort zone , but it's not too big of a stretch . So I see the areas where I'm holding myself back , but also I'm seeing the areas where I'm growing and I and I really like to move into the areas that are are more , I guess , of a priority for me .

Jana Shelfer 4:17

I guess , when I analyze my life , I feel like I am very abundant in time and freedom . I'm very abundant in time and freedom and yet I often say , oh , I don't think I have the time , yeah , I don't think I have the time , or I start on a project and then I feel like my freedom is .

Jason Shelfer 4:41

The projects take away your freedom because it compartmentalizes your time .

Jana Shelfer 4:47

Yes , and then , at the same time , sometimes , when I feel overwhelmed , I feel like there's so many things that I could be doing , and then I end up not doing anything because I don't know how to . I don't know how to which one to pick .

Jason Shelfer 5:06

It's like a Cheesecake Factory menu .

Jana Shelfer 5:08

Yeah , but Cheesecake Factories are way too big . Can we just all agree on this , Like why do they ? Serve everything , although today is actually National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day and I was thinking this morning , maybe we should go to the Cheesecake Factory and get some pumpkin cheesecake .

Jason Shelfer 5:26

It's probably on sale today .

Jana Shelfer 5:29

But , yes , it's like sitting down at a Cheesecake Factory and you go there for the cheesecake , right ? You're like , oh , you know what , we're going to have some nice cheesecake afterwards , but then they give you this book of a menu and that you're so abundant in choices . Yes , that's our problem , jason , is we are abundant in choices , and I think that's where it falls out , or lines up .

Jason Shelfer 5:55

To know , like you talk about it all the time , like go inside and figure out exactly what you want , look for that and then you can pick where you're going . So you can still go to the cheesecake factory but know what you want , like know exactly , and the cheesecake factory is one of those places where you could go , you could know what you want and it's probably on that dang menu , like I .

Jason Shelfer 6:16

I wouldn't be shocked if they serve sushi there I think they might , I think that I think they have sushi cheesecake but the thing is is oftentimes we don't know what we want , which , so we just whoa , whoa I I have to think about this .

Jana Shelfer 6:30

I think they do serve some sort of like sushi cheesecake , so it they serve every flavor of cheesecake you could possibly imagine they just so you're eating the consistency of cheesecake , oh God .

Jason Shelfer 6:42

I just vomited in my mouth .

Jana Shelfer 6:47

This is not an advertisement for Cheesecake Factory .

Jason Shelfer 6:50

How do you like your tuna cheesecake , sir , or your salmon cheesecake ?

Jana Shelfer 6:55

Tastes like cheesecake , smells like Tuna Smells like salmon . Oh , that's terrible . It's like the riverfront of an alaskan bear trap I think the whole idea of being abundant in choices is an aha moment for me we're all and I love where you started out , because to me I consider that freedom . When I have an abundant in choices , that means I have freedom and yet at the same time , that feels overwhelming to me sometimes that , oh my gosh , I have so many things to choose from , I don't know what to choose .

Jason Shelfer 7:31

Well , there is a study in marketing about giving someone three choices versus giving someone like seven or nine choices or more , Like when you give someone three choices oftentimes they're going to pick the middle .

Jason Shelfer 7:46

And if you give someone more , they're like I don't know , I can't make a choice . So it's like let's just decide what is it that I do want to do , like what's the roadmap or the route that I want to take , and let's start taking that route . Yes , and that makes things a lot easier . It creates less confusion and more clarity , because we start knowing this is where I'm going .

Jana Shelfer 8:11

You know what that is so big ? Because I feel like when people do give me choices , even when I go for services , then I'm like I don't know , because we don't know what we don't know . We don't know what we don't want or want .

Jason Shelfer 8:41

And so to me , like when you said that , I thought she's going to go to like the car dealership . Yeah , when it's like I went in for an oil change and a tire rotation and they're like okay , these are some other things that we could work on , because your car needs this and we're very much like vehicles that are moving through life and a lot of times we don't know what we need to work on , what we need to tune up , what we need to repair .

Jana Shelfer 9:08

Tune up , tune up , tune up .

Jason Shelfer 9:10

I see what you did . And then they say , well , if you want to get everything fixed , it's going to be $6,000 or $2,000 . If you want to just stick with what the oil change , the entire rotation that you came in , it's $150 , $200 . Or these are some other recommendations that we have in the middle that it's going to be about $2,500 . And I'm like , well , let's just do the middle , because some of these things , I don't know what you're talking about . How important are they ?

Jana Shelfer 9:40

Okay , so I'm going to get us back on track here . So where are you abundant in your life ? Where is it that you are abundant and really think about this ?

Jason Shelfer 9:49

because Think about the negative abundance and the positive abundance .

Jana Shelfer 9:53

Yes , and nobody has ever put it in words like that to me that I have negative abundance and the positive abundance , yes , and nobody has ever put it in words like that to me that I have negative abundance . And sometimes if I say , well , you know what , I really want to make more money Well , that cuts into my time and freedom . And all of a sudden then I feel hampered .

Jason Shelfer 10:13

Yes , yeah , and we can . Oh , and it's literally just saying if you look at abundance as piles like , I've got a pile of like . Let's go back to the obesity issue . If I've got a pile of time and food , do I need all that ? Or can I take the food that's fuel and use that and take some of the time that is sedentary and sitting around and put some movement in there ? So it's just moving the pile from the negative abundant pile and flipping the coin over and getting the good parts of that abundance that's already there and already available .

Jason Shelfer 10:55

Turning the coin over to the other side of well , I can do this with my time , instead of rest , instead of just emotional eating .

Jana Shelfer 11:05

Yeah , or binge watching .

Navigating Decision Fatigue and Abundance

Jana Shelfer 11:07

I mean I find myself sometimes because I don't know , I mean I get fatigue , work , fatigue .

Jason Shelfer 11:16

And also decision fatigue , decision fatigue , work fatigue , because there's so many choices . Like we are , everyone is abundant in choices .

Jana Shelfer 11:23

But when I flip it and reframe it and say it's because I'm so abundant in choices , oh , I just had an aha moment and in fact I'm going to go make a list right now of where I have negative abundance or where the abundance is actually working against me , which we all know . Everything is working in our favor , but we just need to recognize where I can move that pile of abundance , like you said , into something , channel it into something a little more productive , efficient and beneficial for my soul .

Jason Shelfer 11:58

I love that you use the word channel , because that is a channel , is something that is directional and it's also something that I think has flow in it .

Jana Shelfer 12:09

Wow , this is a good one . This is a podcast worth listening to a few times , I think .
