Episode Highlights

[05:19] Accepting Praise

• It’s normal to have discomfort after receiving praise because we’re put in the spotlight.
• However, you have to learn how to hold praise and criticism equally.

[08:20] How to Attract Love and Find Confidence

• The pandemic has caused us to feel disconnected from ourselves and other people.
• Many of us have tied our identities to the way we connect to the outside world, and we are left feeling lost when that is taken away.
• To attract people of a certain type, you need to be that certain type.
• That’s one of the reasons why self-care is important.
• Think about how the world would be if everyone else was just like you. Let this guide the type of person that you should be.

[13:45] Reconcile Relationships

• We all have complex relationships with ourselves.
• At the same time, we have loaded relationships with things like food and money.
• All these relationships affect who you attract.
• For Dawn, the first step to getting out of that hamster wheel of self-doubt is to get clear about these relationships.

[20:03] Start Practicing Radical Forgiveness

• Radical forgiveness involves taking yourself out of the equation whenever someone hurts your feelings or does something terrible.
• Sometimes, we’re not meant to learn from these situations. Instead, we may be the lesson for other people.
• The things that you want in your life may be different from what the universe has planned for you.
• Don’t hesitate to put out there what you’re seeking, but be open to however the universe answers.

[22:53] Harness Energy from Food

• Dawn shares how certain foods have energies. For example, when she feels afraid, she tends to use a lot of garlic, which has protective energy.
• She also shares how masculine and confident energies can be found in foods like zucchini and bananas.
• Meanwhile, nurturing and feminine energies can be harnessed from eggplants and watermelons.
• Dawn also eats with intention. She visualizes what she wants to attract as she draws energy from her food.

[27:46] Go Back to the Basics

• Be in the space of love and acceptance so you can attract the same.
• Anytime you’re feeling stressed or out of balance, go back to the basics.
• Assess what you’re eating and check if you’ve been moving your body.
• Don’t become complacent and put it off for tomorrow. Fix it now.
• Do not reaffirm the same mentality that got you in this state.

[31:55] Don’t Beat Yourself Up

• It’s okay not to be perfect. You can give yourself the grace to seek comfort.
• However, once you promise yourself something, do not go back on your word.
• Breaking your promises reaffirms the negative thought patterns in your head.
• Be honest with what you want and where you want to go.
• Become responsible for these wants and take action.

[35:18] Why Self Care Is Important

• If you keep attracting the same type of person, it’s a clue that maybe you need to look inward at yourself.
• We tend to attract things that make us comfortable, even if that is bad for us.
• Remember that your grass will only be green when you water it. Pay attention to yourself and you will attract the life you want!
• Create a self-care routine to help you calm down. Take breaks and find what helps you become relaxed.
• Self-care sometimes hurts and is uncomfortable, but that is part of the healing process.

[43:24] Take Control of Your Life

• To attract what you want in life, you have to be a person deserving of those things.
• Things don’t happen to you, but for you.
• We can take control of our lives by taking control of our thoughts.
• Nurture yourself with food, water, air, and movement.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

[12:23] “We are what we attract, or we attract what we are. If our thoughts become our reality, then our outer world is a direct reflection of our inner world.”

[26:25] “Attraction isn't just about new relationships, it can be about deepening relationships.”
