How to Become a RELAXED Woman — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Growing up, I never knew a relaxed
- 0:01woman. Successful women, yes. Productive
- 0:04women, plenty. But, relaxed women, I'm
- 0:06not sure I've ever met a woman like
- 0:07that. This quote went viral on Pinterest
- 0:10and Instagram many years ago. And when
- 0:11something goes insanely viral like that,
- 0:14it's because it's something that so many
- 0:16of us resonate with. So, in this video,
- 0:18I'm going to tell you how to actually
- 0:19start becoming a relaxed woman.
- 0:22>> [music]
- 0:22>> Because a relaxed woman is not just a
- 0:24woman who takes a nice hot bath every
- 0:26now and then. It is a state of being.
- 0:28And so, I'm going to break everything
- 0:30down why so many of us are struggling
- 0:32with this, what's holding us back, and
- 0:34how to become her. And I hope that you
- 0:36do stick with me and watch this whole
- 0:38video, because learning how to operate
- 0:40from a relaxed state [music] is the
- 0:42foundation for actually enjoying your
- 0:45life. Hey friend, welcome back. If
- 0:46you're new here, my name's Jill, and I
- 0:47help women step into their power, tap
- 0:49into their divine feminine, and become
- 0:51their best self, live their best life.
- 0:53So, if that's something you want to do,
- 0:54you should subscribe and stick around.
- 0:56And if you want more from me, if you
- 0:57want to dive deeper into being a relaxed
- 0:59woman, I have my deep dive feminine
- 1:01energy or any of my other digital
- 1:03products or courses, they're all linked
- 1:04down below. So, what do I mean when I
- 1:06say being relaxed is a state of being?
- 1:09Most of us think of it like getting to
- 1:11relax, taking [music] a break, you know,
- 1:12something we earn after a hard day or a
- 1:15long week. Or we operate from stress and
- 1:17anxiety all year, and then we book a
- 1:19five-day vacation in the Bahamas so that
- 1:21we can relax and recover. That is the
- 1:24wrong approach. That's not being a
- 1:25relaxed woman. That's being a stressed
- 1:27woman who occasionally takes breaks. And
- 1:29let's be real, even when you give those
- 1:31breaks, you're probably still stressing
- 1:33about something or feeling anxious for
- 1:35some reason. But, a truly relaxed woman,
- 1:37on the other hand, is where relaxed is
- 1:39her baseline. It's the state that she
- 1:42operates from the majority of the time.
- 1:44She's relaxed while she works. She's
- 1:46relaxed while she's tidying up her
- 1:48bedroom. She's relaxed while she's
- 1:50driving to her appointment. She's
- 1:51relaxed while she watches a movie. She's
- 1:53relaxed while she's going about life.
- 1:55And that relaxed state lives inside her
- 1:56nervous system. That's what we want to
- 1:58cultivate, a relaxed way of being, not
- 2:01just a state that we try to escape to
- 2:03every now and then. Okay, so in this
- 2:05video, we're going to go over why you're
- 2:07not able to live in this relaxed state,
- 2:09like the most common reasons, because
- 2:11there's not just one thing and it can be
- 2:13different for different people. And what
- 2:14needs to shift and what we need to do to
- 2:16start becoming that relaxed woman. And
- 2:18before I get into it, something that
- 2:20I've always loved is making affirmation
- 2:22tracks and subliminals. I absolutely
- 2:24feel different when I listen to them and
- 2:25I actually made one specifically for
- 2:27this concept of being a relaxed woman
- 2:29and being in your relaxed feminine
- 2:31energy. And so I thought I'd share the
- 2:32one that I made with you just in case
- 2:34you want it. It's linked in the
- 2:35description. It's free. You can grab it
- 2:36if you want and listen to it as many
- 2:38times as you want and I hope it helps
- 2:39you. So, let's get into the why. You
- 2:41have to understand why this is happening
- 2:43and what's holding you back or else
- 2:45you're never going to get anywhere. So,
- 2:46here's the thing and it's actually
- 2:47really simple. When you can't relax,
- 2:50that means that your body and your
- 2:52subconscious mind are prioritizing
- 2:55something else over relaxation. Let me
- 2:58say that again because that is a very
- 2:59important part of the video, okay? No
- 3:01matter how much you want to relax, your
- 3:03body has decided that something else
- 3:06matters more right now. So, no matter
- 3:08how much time you give yourself, no
- 3:09matter how much free time you have, no
- 3:11matter how much you tell yourself to
- 3:13chill out and no matter how many candles
- 3:15you light and how many baths you take,
- 3:16your body is prioritizing for something
- 3:18else. So, the question is is what is it
- 3:21prioritizing? Because relaxation should
- 3:23be our baseline state as human beings.
- 3:26So, what is it prioritizing? This is
- 3:28different for different people, but let
- 3:29me walk you through the most common
- 3:31roots of this problem and you're
- 3:32probably going to recognize yourself in
- 3:34one or two of them. One, your body is
- 3:36prioritizing safety over relaxation.
- 3:39Your nervous system isn't here to keep
- 3:41you happy and relaxed. That's not its
- 3:43job. Its job is to keep you alive. And
- 3:46to do that job, your nervous system is
- 3:48constantly scanning for threats. And
- 3:50when it anticipates any sort of danger,
- 3:52it turns on the stress response in your
- 3:54body. That is what it is supposed to do.
- 3:57But as you probably know, sometimes our
- 4:00nervous systems can get a little finicky
- 4:02and a little extra sensitive and
- 4:03reactive, especially if we experienced a
- 4:06lot of stress or instability earlier in
- 4:08our life. And because our nervous system
- 4:10learns to be more reactive, it can start
- 4:12turning on that threat response when
- 4:14it's not even needed. It'll start
- 4:16anticipating danger even when there's
- 4:19none there. And when your nervous system
- 4:21senses the threat of danger,
- 4:24that will always
- 4:25>> [music]
- 4:26>> always take priority over relaxation.
- 4:30Always. You get an email from your boss
- 4:31and the tone is a little weird. Uh-oh, I
- 4:33might be in trouble. Danger. You get a
- 4:35bill in the mail and it's a little
- 4:37higher than you thought it would be.
- 4:38Uh-oh, I'm not safe. My finances keep
- 4:40falling apart. What if this keeps
- 4:42happening? Danger. Even if you're
- 4:43sitting on a beach in the Bahamas and
- 4:45you know that you should feel totally
- 4:47relaxed right now and you paid a lot of
- 4:49money to feel relaxed right now. But
- 4:51instead, your mind starts spinning about
- 4:53what's waiting for you when you get home
- 4:55or if you remember to pay that bill or
- 4:57whether something bad is happening while
- 4:59you're away. Danger. None of these are
- 5:01actual dangerous situations, but to a
- 5:04reactive nervous system, they feel like
- 5:06it or they feel like they could be. So,
- 5:09it stays on alert. And when you try to
- 5:11relax, your nervous system literally
- 5:13won't let you because to your body,
- 5:15staying alert is more important than
- 5:17being relaxed. What's the point of being
- 5:20relaxed if you're about to get hurt?
- 5:21Your body would rather have you anxious
- 5:23and safe than relaxed and caught off
- 5:25guard. Number two, your body is
- 5:26prioritizing feeling worthy over feeling
- 5:29relaxed. Almost all of us learn growing
- 5:31up to some extent that our worthiness as
- 5:34a person is tied to what we do and what
- 5:37we produce. That we have to be doing
- 5:38something, achieving something,
- 5:40contributing something to be a worthy
- 5:42individual. And if we're not worthy,
- 5:44then who are we? Am I still going to be
- 5:45loved? Am I still going to be safe? Am I
- 5:47still going to be important? You know,
- 5:49when you were a kid, if you felt like
- 5:50when you got straight A's, your parents
- 5:52loved you more, then you probably
- 5:54started to embody more of this belief.
- 5:56And if we don't unlearn that belief,
- 5:58that your worthiness and your value as a
- 6:00person is directly tied to your output
- 6:03and your productivity, it'll keep
- 6:04pushing you to always be on, always be
- 6:07doing something, perfectionism
- 6:08tendencies, never resting, never
- 6:10relaxing. Because feeling unworthy is an
- 6:13awful feeling. And we often can
- 6:15correlate it with feeling unloved,
- 6:17unwanted, and replaceable. So, your body
- 6:19decides proving our worth is the
- 6:21priority. Producing is the priority.
- 6:23Doing is the priority. Relaxation? That
- 6:26can happen another time. I don't want to
- 6:28be unloved. I don't want to be unwanted.
- 6:30I don't want to not be valuable. And so,
- 6:32you stay on all day, even when you're
- 6:34cooking dinner, you're thinking about
- 6:35tomorrow's to-do list. Or even when
- 6:37you're with your husband, you're
- 6:38calculating what needs to get done. Even
- 6:40when you're driving somewhere, you're
- 6:41mentally drafting emails. You can't be
- 6:44relaxed because your body is always
- 6:45pushing you towards that next thing to
- 6:47do to stay worthy and stay valuable. So,
- 6:50that state of relaxation, it never comes
- 6:53because there is always more that you
- 6:54can be doing. And so, this belief keeps
- 6:56you in a trap, and you will never be
- 6:58able to be a relaxed woman because your
- 7:01body is prioritizing feeling worthy,
- 7:03feeling loved, feeling important,
- 7:04feeling valuable
- 7:06over feeling relaxed. It doesn't think
- 7:08that the two
- 7:09can go together. Three, your body is
- 7:11prioritizing control over relaxation. If
- 7:14your body thinks that if you don't stay
- 7:16in control mode, aka managing every
- 7:19detail and staying one step ahead of
- 7:21everything, that life might spiral out
- 7:23of control and that everything's going
- 7:24to fall apart, well, then why would your
- 7:26body relax? Your body is prioritizing
- 7:29being in control and being on top of
- 7:31everything instead of relaxation. But
- 7:33when you look at a relaxed woman, I want
- 7:35you to think about it. What's [music]
- 7:36actually different about her? It's not
- 7:39just that she She up a little early
- 7:41every day to take it slow in the
- 7:42morning. What's really different about a
- 7:44relaxed woman, the core of it, is that
- 7:47she trusts life. She trusts that things
- 7:50are going to work out. She trusts
- 7:51herself to handle whatever comes. She
- 7:53trusts that even if something
- 7:54inconvenient happens, or the plans
- 7:56change, or if life throws a curveball,
- 7:58she will be okay. You can only drop your
- 8:00grip on control if you have trust. Think
- 8:02about it. It's like when you're in a
- 8:03relationship with a man who you do not
- 8:05trust. You don't trust that they're
- 8:07going to do what they say. You don't
- 8:09trust that they're going to be able to
- 8:11what comes. What happens? You start to
- 8:13become controlling. Same with life. If
- 8:15you don't trust life, you'll step into
- 8:18control mode. And when control becomes
- 8:20the priority, relaxation never happens.
- 8:23So, these are the three big deeper
- 8:25reasons that I found that will block you
- 8:27from ever being a relaxed woman. Either
- 8:30when she doesn't trust that she's safe,
- 8:31so she stays on alert. She doesn't trust
- 8:33that she's worthy without producing, so
- 8:35she's constantly in doing mode, even if
- 8:37not physically, it's happening mentally.
- 8:39Or she doesn't trust life and the flow
- 8:41of life, so she controls everything. And
- 8:43it doesn't matter how much free time you
- 8:45have. If you struggle with one of these
- 8:47or all of these, your baseline state
- 8:50won't be relaxed. You know, about two or
- 8:51three years ago, I started outsourcing a
- 8:53bit more, and I started buying back my
- 8:55time. And when I did, when I got more of
- 8:58my time back, and I had so much more
- 9:00time to chill, it didn't automatically
- 9:03make me more chill and relaxed. Because
- 9:06no matter how much time you have, until
- 9:07that underlying thing gets addressed,
- 9:09your body will put relaxation on the
- 9:11back burner. It is simply prioritizing
- 9:14for something else. Which none of these
- 9:16things are overnight quick fixes. You
- 9:18know, healing your nervous system,
- 9:19untangling your worth from your
- 9:21productivity, learning to trust life and
- 9:24not control everything. I realize it's
- 9:25not going to be an overnight fix for
- 9:27you. But once you get honest with
- 9:28yourself and figure out and identify
- 9:30what your body is prioritizing for
- 9:32instead, you can start actively working
- 9:33on that, rather than just trying to like
- 9:36book yourself a massage here and then
- 9:38and hope that makes you feel better. I
- 9:39just want you to think about that.
- 9:40Relaxation is actually your natural
- 9:43state. It just gets blocked when your
- 9:46body decides that something else needs
- 9:47your attention more. Now, those are the
- 9:49deeper blocks, but beyond those there's
- 9:50a lot more that goes into being a
- 9:52relaxed woman and things that you can
- 9:54kind of start doing today. So, let's get
- 9:56into those. The first thing is to slow
- 9:58down and stop the rush. To be a relaxed
- 10:00woman, it comes from the right mindset.
- 10:02Yes, that's very important, but what I
- 10:04think a lot of people underestimate and
- 10:06don't realize is that the mind is
- 10:09constantly taking cues from the body.
- 10:11Like you have to understand here, your
- 10:13nervous system is constantly scanning
- 10:16two things at all times. What's
- 10:17happening outside in your environment,
- 10:20right? And also what's happening inside
- 10:23your body. And it uses your body as one
- 10:25of the most reliable signals as what's
- 10:27actually going on. If your body is
- 10:29moving calmly, your muscles are relaxed,
- 10:32your nervous system assumes that
- 10:34everything is probably fine. If your
- 10:35body is rushing and tense, you know,
- 10:38quick stressful movements, breathing
- 10:39really shallow breaths, even if it
- 10:41doesn't see that there's anything in
- 10:43your environment that's dangerous, the
- 10:44nervous system figures, "Ah, something
- 10:46must be wrong." Even if nothing actually
- 10:48is. Even if your nervous system is
- 10:50scanning the environment around you and
- 10:52doesn't notice anything wrong, it
- 10:53doesn't pick up on any threats. If your
- 10:55body is tense like that, it'll assume
- 10:58that I must be missing something in the
- 10:59environment because why else is the body
- 11:01reacting like this? Your body is the
- 11:03most valuable data your nervous system
- 11:05uses to determine its state. So, my
- 11:08point is that that physical body
- 11:09tension, that frantic energy, the
- 11:12clenched muscles, the hurrying, that
- 11:14will keep your nervous system on alert
- 11:16mode, on stress mode. So, if you want to
- 11:18feel like a more relaxed woman, like at
- 11:20the nervous system level, at the soul
- 11:22level, start with the body. This is the
- 11:25easiest thing to do because it is purely
- 11:27physical. And once you start really
- 11:28paying attention, you'll notice that
- 11:30most of us are tense and rushing around
- 11:33for no reason. We're running up and down
- 11:34the stairs. We're washing the dishes as
- 11:36fast as we can. We're eating standing
- 11:38up. We're replying to work emails with
- 11:40our jaws completely clenched. We're
- 11:42driving with our shoulders all tight.
- 11:44None of that is required. And our
- 11:46nervous system is picking that up. It's
- 11:48reading it and going, "Oh my gosh, I
- 11:50need to prioritize for safety because
- 11:52something must be happening. Relaxation?
- 11:55No, I'm not going to let that happen
- 11:56right now." If you ever look at a
- 11:58relaxed woman, you'll see this in how
- 12:00she moves. Her muscles are just a little
- 12:02bit more relaxed. She's looser. You'll
- 12:04see her hips flow a little bit more when
- 12:06she walks. She's not rushing from one
- 12:08thing to the next. Her body is relaxed,
- 12:11and you can feel this in her aura, too.
- 12:13So, start with the body first. Relax
- 12:16your muscles. Unclench your jaw. Relax
- 12:18your shoulders. Let your hips move when
- 12:20you walk. Stop rushing to and from
- 12:23everything. [clears throat] Stop rushing
- 12:24through every single task that you have
- 12:26to do today. You are not running out of
- 12:28time. You can relax. Next is that a
- 12:30relaxed woman actually builds rest and
- 12:33spaciousness and breaks into her life.
- 12:35If you're running at 120% capacity every
- 12:39single day, then how do you think your
- 12:41nervous system's going to feel? Women
- 12:42who are naturally relaxed do not
- 12:44overload their plate. They don't
- 12:46overcommit to way too much. They're not
- 12:48afraid to delegate when they could use
- 12:49the help. And basically, they've built
- 12:51room into their life for decompression
- 12:54and not just constant productivity. Now,
- 12:56I'm not a religious person, but
- 12:57something that I do really love is that
- 12:59a lot of religions actually have a
- 13:02built-in day of rest. Christians have
- 13:04Sundays as their day of rest, and I
- 13:06believe the Jewish religion has Sabbath,
- 13:08which is like Friday night to Saturday
- 13:10night as their day of rest. Different
- 13:12forms of this exist in different
- 13:14religions and different traditions all
- 13:16over the world. I think there's
- 13:17something really wise about that that
- 13:19we've lost. You know, it's not, "Oh, you
- 13:22can rest once you've done this, once
- 13:24you're feeling burnt out. You can rest
- 13:26only once you've done enough. They built
- 13:28rest into the week, into their life.
- 13:30It's part of the rhythm of their life.
- 13:33It's just how they operate. And I think
- 13:35that that difference is key. A relaxed
- 13:37woman doesn't just rest to recover. She
- 13:40rests because
- 13:41it's part of who she is.
- 13:43>> [music]
- 13:43>> It's part of her natural state. Here's
- 13:45the thing, taking breaks does not just
- 13:47all of a sudden create a relaxed life.
- 13:49But they do support it. You have to be
- 13:51intentional about building a life that
- 13:53has space and rest woven into it. Not
- 13:57just something that you escape to. And
- 13:59listen, you can have everything you want
- 14:01in this life. The career, the family,
- 14:02whatever. But you can't have all of it
- 14:05operating at 100%
- 14:07all the time. Life doesn't work like
- 14:09that. There are seasons. And you will
- 14:11never be a relaxed woman if you're
- 14:12trying to do all things at max capacity
- 14:16all at once. Are you in a career busy
- 14:18season? It's okay if your social life is
- 14:21a little bit quieter right now. Do you
- 14:22have a young baby? Let your fitness be
- 14:24lighter and
- 14:26right now. Building a business? It's
- 14:28okay if some of the home stuff slides
- 14:30sometimes. Another thing relaxed women
- 14:32do differently is that they don't
- 14:33catastrophize little things and they let
- 14:36small things stay small. Life is going
- 14:38to be annoying sometimes. You know, the
- 14:39traffic gets bad. The flight gets
- 14:41delayed. Your kids spill something. Your
- 14:43husband forgot something. Let small
- 14:45things stay small. You will notice this
- 14:47pattern in chronically anxious and
- 14:50stressed women over and over again. When
- 14:53something happens, an inconvenience,
- 14:55yeah, something annoying happens, they
- 14:57spiral and they flip out and it becomes
- 14:59this huge deal. So, the traffic isn't
- 15:01just a little bit of traffic. It's uh,
- 15:03this always happens to me. This is going
- 15:05to ruin my entire day. Of course, today
- 15:07of all days I'm going to be late. Yes,
- 15:09it's an inconvenience, but it's not a
- 15:11crisis. And when you treat these little
- 15:12things as a crisis and you react as if
- 15:15it is kind of like a crisis, then again,
- 15:18your nervous system picks up on that,
- 15:20picks up on your body cues because
- 15:21that's what it's designed to do, and
- 15:23it's going to turn on fight or flight
- 15:25mode and keep you in stress mode. My
- 15:27mother, may she rest in peace, she was
- 15:28the most amazing mother and had many
- 15:30amazing qualities, but she did this. She
- 15:33would kind of flip out a little over the
- 15:35slightest inconveniences and the
- 15:36slightest
- 15:37>> [music]
- 15:38>> stressors. You know, everything was a
- 15:39big deal. And watching her live her life
- 15:42like that kind of taught me to do the
- 15:44exact opposite, because she was the most
- 15:47stressed woman I knew. To be a relaxed
- 15:49woman, you must trust the flow of life.
- 15:53Hiccups that happen in your life can
- 15:55just be hiccups and nothing more. Next
- 15:57time an annoying inconvenience happens,
- 15:59like bad traffic or whatever, something
- 16:01that stresses you out a little bit, but
- 16:03it's not a crisis. As much as you want
- 16:04to react and spiral, accept the
- 16:06annoyance for what it is and stop
- 16:08fighting it. The traffic is bad. Okay.
- 16:12The flight is delayed.
- 16:13Okay. I forgot to pack my favorite dress
- 16:16that I bought just for this vacation.
- 16:18Okay. If you can't change anything, then
- 16:20what is that stress actually doing for
- 16:21your life? And it's the fight that
- 16:24creates that spiral, the fight against
- 16:26the stress, the resistance to it. You
- 16:29don't have to like it, you don't have to
- 16:30be happy about it. But once you drop the
- 16:32fight, so does the stress. And sometimes
- 16:34you can just let small things be small.
- 16:36And lastly, there's another aspect of
- 16:38this that hardly ever gets talked about.
- 16:40So many women are blocked from living a
- 16:41relaxed life [music] and they get to the
- 16:43point where relaxation isn't even
- 16:46enjoyable anymore, because they've
- 16:48become so detached from play and
- 16:52pleasure and their feminine energy.
- 16:53Relaxation is a feel-good state.
- 16:56>> [music]
- 16:56>> It's a pleasure state. And when you
- 16:58become so disconnected from fun and
- 17:00pleasure and romanticizing your life,
- 17:02when you struggle to access pleasure and
- 17:04feel pleasure, then there will be no
- 17:07relaxation state. And if you've been
- 17:09stuck in your masculine energy for so
- 17:10long and really stuck in doing mode and
- 17:13output mode, achieving, producing,
- 17:15optimizing for so long, the part of you
- 17:18that actually feels pleasure can start
- 17:20to go dormant. And it's almost like a
- 17:22muscle. It's like you can't even really
- 17:24feel it anymore. You sit down to relax
- 17:26and you don't even know what to do with
- 17:27yourself. Your hobbies feel like work.
- 17:30Your meals are just purely functional.
- 17:33There's no joy in getting dressed
- 17:35anymore. Where did the pleasure go?
- 17:37>> [music]
- 17:37>> Where did the pleasure go in your life?
- 17:39This isn't a relaxation problem. It's a
- 17:41pleasure problem. It's a feminine energy
- 17:43disconnect. This is one of the biggest
- 17:45signs a woman has lost her connection to
- 17:47her feminine energy.
- 17:49Pleasure isn't a part of her life
- 17:51anymore and it isn't easily accessed.
- 17:53And therefore, being a relaxed woman
- 17:55becomes impossible. Learning how to turn
- 17:58on and access your feminine energy is
- 18:00learning how to let things feel good
- 18:02[music] again. And I teach all of this
- 18:03in my deep dive feminine energy course.
- 18:05It'll transform the way that you live
- 18:06your life and the way that you feel and
- 18:08it'll teach you how to be a magnetic
- 18:10woman again. Reconnecting to my feminine
- 18:11energy quite literally changed my life,
- 18:13my health, my relationships, my nervous
- 18:15system, and helped me become that
- 18:17relaxed woman connected to play and
- 18:19pleasure again. And if that's something
- 18:21you feel called to explore, the link for
- 18:22that is down below. Now, like I said,
- 18:24being a relaxed woman is heavily tied to
- 18:27the nervous system, which is not
- 18:28surprising. But in this video here, I
- 18:30break down exactly how to heal your
- 18:32nervous system and I promise you this
- 18:34video will make it make sense. It's such
- 18:36a big confusing topic, but this video
- 18:38breaks it down in a way that you've
- 18:39probably never heard before. So, I'll
- 18:41see you over there.
- 18:42Bye.
