Speaker 1:
Oh, yeah, woo, I love this song. Yes, hey, everyone, okay, I am not the best singer, that is for sure. It is Tuesday, tuesday, tuesday. And your fly girl is in Atlanta traffic. Yep, and your fly girl is in Atlanta traffic. Yep, nothing new here.
Speaker 1:
I was thinking, oh, it's a good time, there's going to be no traffic, but guess what? I'm in construction traffic. Oh, wow, you know what it reminds me of? Attitude is everything. Attitude is everything, you, everything, you guys. Because guess what I could be frustrated right now. I could yell and scream. It's not gonna do any any bit of good at all. Period.
Speaker 1:
And after the week and a half that I have had in the aviation industry, with all of the computer outages and delays and reroutes and 12 to 15 hour days, wow, it really was a test of my ability to stay in the zone. And I have to admit that I did not stay in the zone. I did not stay in the happy zone. I let it get to me, I let the tiredness take over, I let my emotions get away. I'm going to admit it. You guys, have you had that happen to you? And I got to tell you that my saving grace is my coach. My coach CJ is. I swear it's like this man can get in my head and know when I'm off and I just go into a cave and want to hide, hide away from the world. Um, not work on my. Do my affirmations? Not eat right? Do you guys ever fall into that where you know something happens and it just it sets you the wrong way and then it ruins your whole day. You let it ruin your whole entire day. You do you ever have that happen, I tell you?
Speaker 1:
I think that really the battle here is not getting to a happy place, it's staying in a happy place. I think of it as like the bumpers you know, like with little kids or anyone is, for that matter, is learning to bowl, and you have those little side bumpers and you're just trying to keep the ball in the middle. Well, that's that's what it's like, about keeping your mindset in a positive direction. And it's a challenge, because sometimes it feels good to like wallow in the misery, it feels good to complain, it feels good sometimes just to. You know, on my one day off, I didn't get dressed, I was in a funk. I didn't even take a shower that day. I didn't even nothing. I didn't get dressed, I was just frumpy, dumpy and that is not a healthy way to live a healthy mindset.
Speaker 1:
And one of the things that coach pointed out to me is that I will give 110, 150% to my career as a flight attendant, but I don't value myself to give the same level of professionalism, the same level of dedication, the same level of perseverance, joy, happiness. So last night's session started at like 1015 at night, eastern time. It went until almost 1230 AM. And this man does not let me fail. He I've been working with him for three years and I'm telling you I think I'm a difficult client for him because I retreat, I go like in a cave and I just like want to hide away from the world and not let my brilliance shine.
Speaker 1:
And I know that I am meant to help people. I know that I am meant to be that mentor and that coach and help others. And you know the saying about putting your own oxygen mask on first is so true. You've got to get your mindset right. You know, have those, as he calls it, where's Monica's millionaire mantra, millionaire mindset. You know, what do you do for yourself to make you happy? What do you do? You do it for other people. You do it for your company that you work for, but you don't do it for other people. You do it for your company that you work for but you don't do it for yourself.
Speaker 1:
So, really, some great, great advice and information and insight on what's stopping me from my greatness, my greatness of really helping myself and helping others to rise to our higher selves and not sink into depression and loneliness and being lost. And it was just a really, really great session and I encourage you, if you are feeling lost, I would love to connect you with my coach, because he does not give up on me. He is there and I feel like, if you are struggling and you just want a free consultation to find out like, who is this coach, coach CJ, what is he all about and how can he help me, I will hook you up. You guys can reach me at takeflightwithmonicacom jennalonicacom. Uh, you can give me your information and I will reach out to you and connect you with my coach. Um, yeah, I tell you, it's just, it's a journey. Right, it's a journey.
Speaker 1:
I think of it as like if I did a plane analogy and let's say I was going on vacation and, for example, today I'm going to Jacksonville Florida. So like, let's say, we're in Atlanta and we're going to Jacksonville Florida and somewhere along the way, you know, there's a storm, I don't know we get off track, like we need some someone to have us get back on track. Right, it doesn't mean we're a failure if we get off track, it just means we need that guidance so that we can land successfully in the city and enjoy the journey on the way. So that's my insight for you today. It's short and sweet. That's my insight for you today. It's short and sweet.
Speaker 1:
These are life lessons that I'm learning. I know that I am meant for greatness and much of my life I've been in leadership roles and I'm in a predominant leadership role amongst in aviation, and I take great pride in that and I need to bring that into my leadership for myself, right? I know that God has given me an amazing gift of connection, connecting people to their greatness, to turning the light on when they're in the dark and feeling lost and feeling lonely and feeling scared. I know I'm meant to be that beacon of light and if I can support you and be that beacon of light, I am here for you, whether that's you working with me privately as we go on a journey together or connecting you to my amazing coach CJ and taking you to a higher level. He can help you write books. He can help you write courses. He can help your stinking thinking. He's helped me with all of that. He's helped me with all of that and I'm so truly grateful for him and his beautiful wife, honey Badger.
Speaker 1:
So with that, I'm going to leave on the note of gratitude for you listening to my show. I'm going to leave on the note of gratitude for Coach CJ's session for supporting me on my journey and my growth. And cheers to you for listening to me today. Make it a beautiful day. I'll be speaking to you soon from somewhere in the world, and next time let's hope it's not in Atlanta traffic. Let's manifest it's going to be from a beautiful hotel or beach. Let's put that manifestation out there. Make it a great day. Make it a great week. I will talk to you all very soon. Much love.
