[00:01:06] Good morning, Nyomi Banks.

[00:01:21] And I am so thrilled to have you to join us as we embark on this journey

[00:01:25] of personal growth and transformation through the words, the power of words.

[00:01:30] With this month we are diving deep into the art of using our words impeccably.

[00:01:35] And today we're focusing on the word that can truly transform the way that we think,

[00:01:41] communicate and act.

[00:01:43] And that word is clarity.

[00:01:46] Alright so let's take a quick break and when we come back

[00:01:48] we're going to go in deeper into this conversation about the word clarity.

[00:01:54] Alright, it's your girl Nyomi Banks here on the Season of Self Love podcast

[00:01:57] and we'll be right back.

[00:02:27] Take your calendars for May 23 as we welcome fitness instructor, nutritionist

[00:02:32] and owner of Phoenix Tribe Fitness, Marcy Scott, who has transformed her life

[00:02:36] and is here to guide you towards healthier living and healing.

[00:02:39] And wrapping up the month on May 30, don't miss our special guest,

[00:02:44] a neuroscientist turned adult content creator and fishing influencer, Isla Moon,

[00:02:48] bringing a unique perspective to the conversation.

[00:02:51] Tune in all months long for these incredible guests and more,

[00:02:55] only on Ask Nyomi bridging the gap.

[00:02:58] Let's bridge the gap together.

[00:03:01] Washington Wells Institute focuses on healing always.

[00:03:04] For me, if I look good then I feel good.

[00:03:08] If I feel good then I share the good.

[00:03:10] If I share the good then I celebrate the good.

[00:03:13] If I celebrate the good then I live the good.

[00:03:17] So I can be paid to be my greatest.

[00:03:19] But I have to learn the good to be the good.

[00:03:21] So what does it take to be the greatest?

[00:03:24] It's as simple as a free 15 minute consultation.

[00:03:27] Be kind to yourself and heal always.

[00:03:55] And cool to think what clarity is in our minds, all right?

[00:04:00] All right.

[00:04:00] So I want you to close your eyes and I want you to find a comfortable position.

[00:04:09] I want you to take a deep breath in.

[00:04:13] Feeling the air filling your lungs.

[00:04:17] Now I want you to exhale slowly, releasing any tension or distraction.

[00:04:22] And I want you to feel yourself grounded in this present moment.

[00:04:27] Now visualize a bright light at the center of your mind.

[00:04:31] Illuminating your thoughts with clarity and focus.

[00:04:35] I want you to imagine this light expanding, clearing away any mental clutter or uncertainty.

[00:04:43] Now with each breath I want you to feel a sense of calm washing away

[00:04:48] and bringing your clarity to your thoughts and your intentions.

[00:04:52] I want you to allow this clarity to guide you towards making decisions with confidence and purpose.

[00:05:00] Now I want you to take another deep breath in.

[00:05:06] Exhale out slowly.

[00:05:08] Yes.

[00:05:10] Now I want you to picture a tranquil lake reflecting the clear blue sky above.

[00:05:16] Now as you gaze upon that still water, I want you to see your mind

[00:05:21] memory the calmness in the serenity that free you from doubt and confusion.

[00:05:32] I want you to embrace this moment of clarity as a gift to yourself

[00:05:36] and feel empowered by the knowledge that you have,

[00:05:40] the ability to see things with a fresh perspective

[00:05:43] and make choices that align with your true purpose.

[00:05:50] So now when you are ready, gently bring your awareness back to the present moment

[00:05:57] and open your eyes and carry this sense of clarity with you as you continue today.

[00:06:05] Take one more final deep breath as you have now returned to your surroundings

[00:06:11] carrying a new final clarity within you.

[00:06:14] And I hope that this guided meditation brings you a sense of peace, focus and renewed clarity.

[00:06:22] Now if you are new here to the Season of Self Love podcast,

[00:06:24] this is something that we do every day Monday through Friday

[00:06:27] to where we ground ourselves, we center ourselves before we get into the topic of hand.

[00:06:33] And today's topic, we're talking about clarity.

[00:06:37] The month of May is all about using our words impeccably,

[00:06:41] being positive when using the words not only with ourselves but for others.

[00:06:45] And in this segment is about the power of clarity.

[00:06:50] Now that we are centered and focused, let's talk about clarity.

[00:06:54] And clarity in our thoughts, our words and our actions can lead to profound changes in our lives.

[00:07:02] And it helps us understand our path to make decisions that align with our true selves

[00:07:07] and communicate more effectively with others.

[00:07:11] So today I'll share some personal stories about how seeking clarity has helped me

[00:07:15] and I'd love to hear your experiences too.

[00:07:20] Now, I've shared this story several different times, right?

[00:07:25] But with this story, I'm going to show in the sense of where clarity comes to mind for me.

[00:07:33] Now, this story goes back of January of 2020.

[00:07:38] And this is what literally when I saw my life story,

[00:07:42] I saw my life story in this one day, in this one night, early morning.

[00:07:48] I saw my past, my present and my future.

[00:07:53] And the thing was is I saw the signs that were shown to me then in my past

[00:07:59] and I saw how they were related to my different stages in my life.

[00:08:07] Even what was happening in 2020 to even what's happening now in 2024.

[00:08:16] And when I say at that moment back there in 2020, it was amazing.

[00:08:21] I mean, there were moments that there were tears, there were moments where they were laughter.

[00:08:25] There was moments that there were anger.

[00:08:28] As I sat there, stood there, I was cleaning.

[00:08:31] I sat at times, I stood at times, I was putting things in different order.

[00:08:35] But I saw flashes of my life happening again from my past to my present

[00:08:41] and my future was happening in real time.

[00:08:46] There were moments when I said, oh my God, I remember that.

[00:08:52] I remember that.

[00:08:54] Oh my God, that's why that happened.

[00:08:59] And that moment that was happening for me,

[00:09:02] it was things that would come so much clearer to me now.

[00:09:07] Then as I sit here speaking with you all now on this platform,

[00:09:15] that was a moment of clarity for me.

[00:09:18] That was a moment of clarity for me.

[00:09:21] That is where I start to understand what everything that was happening in my life in the past,

[00:09:28] both good and bad, that those were tools,

[00:09:32] those were experiences for me to use today in my life today.

[00:09:43] The crazy thing is me knowing that today was supposed to be, well it is, about clarity.

[00:09:51] And when I say, what story can I share with them?

[00:09:54] I say I have to go back to 1920, I mean to 2020.

[00:09:57] I have to go back to that moment because that is where I truly saw my life in front of my eyes.

[00:10:06] Now I was able to witness things happening for me, to me,

[00:10:13] that brought me to right here at the Season of Self-Love.

[00:10:18] By me having that clarity at that moment, it allowed me to open up and to see things differently.

[00:10:24] To see a different perspective of my life or what it should be.

[00:10:28] That it wasn't just about, okay you were a 19 year old mother.

[00:10:35] That you are now a teenage, you are teen pregnancy.

[00:10:37] It was more than just that.

[00:10:45] It was more than me flying to California and standing in front of record executives

[00:10:51] and singing our hearths out and dancing our hearths out to our producer at that time telling us that they did not want us.

[00:11:02] My clarity is in that moment, in that time right now looking back,

[00:11:06] is that you can't believe everything that you hear.

[00:11:10] That you have to do more research, that you have to go and ask the questions, those hard questions.

[00:11:17] And that sometimes that loyalty that you have for others is not the right loyalty for those.

[00:11:27] It started to make me look at things a different perspective.

[00:11:31] Yeah.

[00:11:33] Clarity.

[00:11:35] It was so much clearer to me then.

[00:11:40] Walking down an aisle saying I do.

[00:11:45] I had to go through those stages in life to put me hearth in this moment now.

[00:11:54] So then when I am talking to someone that have been married before, that have been a teen mother,

[00:12:01] that have had recordiers and lost them,

[00:12:04] that have been rich, that have been poor,

[00:12:10] that grew up in church, that is now spiritual.

[00:12:15] I live those lives.

[00:12:17] I am living part of those lives now.

[00:12:20] But I look at them now differently than I did before.

[00:12:29] What clarity does for me, it helps me to make that next step.

[00:12:34] What my next move is going to look like.

[00:12:38] How to make the decision to start another podcast or

[00:12:44] to go on this vacation or to allow this person into my circle

[00:12:53] or to sign up for that course.

[00:13:03] So me seeing my life back in 2020,

[00:13:06] in my bedroom, in my bedroom.

[00:13:17] I was no longer renting.

[00:13:19] I was now owning a home.

[00:13:27] My perspective have changed and it's funny even just this morning,

[00:13:33] just this morning I had a sense of clarity that went on.

[00:13:40] Wow.

[00:13:42] And right now I'm debating should I share this story now or should I wait?

[00:13:47] So let me do this.

[00:13:48] I'm going to take a quick break and during my break,

[00:13:50] I'm going to go back and forth and see if I'm going to share this story with you

[00:16:28] I'll come back and tell you that story some other time.

[00:16:31] Some other time I want to kind of, some other time let's just say that.

[00:16:35] Alright so we know the month of May is all about using our words impeccably right?

[00:16:41] And today word is clarity.

[00:16:44] Clarity is the word of the day.

[00:16:47] So let's dive deeper into our word of the day.

[00:16:50] Clarity is not just about seeing things clear but it's about understanding and being understood.

[00:16:58] So in the relationships it helps us to express our needs and our desires without being ambiguity.

[00:17:05] So in the decision making it guides us to choices that truly reflect our values.

[00:17:10] And when setting goals, clarity allows us to define our ambitions precisely.

[00:17:16] Make it then much more easier to achieve.

[00:17:19] You see many times in our life we go through stages to get to clarity.

[00:17:24] Have you ever asked how can I get to the clarity?

[00:17:28] How this is happening, how do I get there?

[00:17:30] How do I get there?

[00:17:32] Okay I'm in a mass confusion.

[00:17:34] Where do I get there?

[00:17:36] What are the stages?

[00:17:37] Do I understand it?

[00:17:39] How can I get there?

[00:17:40] How can I go?

[00:17:41] Guess what?

[00:17:42] I'm going to share with you some of the stages.

[00:17:46] And also I want you to let me know if any of these are familiar to you of these stages of clarity.

[00:17:51] All right?

[00:17:52] So they can vary from depending on the context but generally they may include one.

[00:17:57] First is confusion.

[00:18:00] The initial stage and characterized by a lack of understanding or knowledge about a particular topic or situation.

[00:18:07] It is a starting point where one realizes the need of clarity.

[00:18:12] The next one is awareness.

[00:18:14] In this stage individual becomes conscious of the need for clarity and starts seeking information and insights to gain a better understanding of the issue in hand.

[00:18:27] Exploration.

[00:18:29] See during this stage this is where people actively explore different perspectives and gather relevant information and engage in discussions to dive deep into the subject matter and uncover the insights.

[00:18:43] Then analysts.

[00:18:44] In this stage individuals critically examine the information gathered, identify the key factors and evaluate different viewpoints to make sense of the complexities that are involved in necks of reflections.

[00:19:01] At this point people pause to reflect on the information, the insight, and they analyze conducted so far.

[00:19:10] They contemplate the implications, the implications and potential outcomes to gain a clearer perspective and resolution.

[00:19:19] This is the final stage that involves reaching a point of clarity where individuals may that have synthesized the information resolved any doubts or uncertainties and gain a clear understanding or decision regarding the issues at hand.

[00:19:34] So see these stages are not always linear and they may overlap or occur in a different order based on the nature of the problem or topic being addressed.

[00:19:45] So effective communication, critical thinking and reflection play crucial roles in navigating through these stages in achieving clarity.

[00:19:54] So also now I want to share with you on how to effectively transition from the confusion stage to the awareness stage in the process of gaining clarity for individuals.

[00:20:06] And so I have 10 steps.

[00:20:08] All right, one is to acknowledge the confusion, recognize and accept that you are in a state of confusion.

[00:20:14] Acknowledging confusion is the first step towards seeking clarity.

[00:20:19] Define the problem.

[00:20:22] Clearly define the issue or topic causing confusion.

[00:20:25] Break it down into smaller components to identify Pacific areas that need clarification.

[00:20:34] The next one is ask questions.

[00:20:37] Engage in self reflection and ask yourself questions about the problem.

[00:20:42] What do you know?

[00:20:43] What do you know?

[00:20:46] What information do you need to gain clarity?

[00:20:51] Seek information.

[00:20:53] Take a proactive step to gather information from reliable sources.

[00:20:57] Research, read, listen to experts and seek feedback to expand your knowledge base.

[00:21:05] Engage in dialogue.

[00:21:07] Discuss the issue with others who may have insight on different perspectives.

[00:21:12] Cities engaging in dialogue can help broaden your understanding and challenge your assumptions.

[00:21:18] Number six is about practice active listening.

[00:21:22] Pay attention to what others are saying and be open to different viewpoints.

[00:21:28] You see, active listening can help you to gain new insights and perspectives.

[00:21:33] Seven, reflect on your thoughts.

[00:21:37] This is important.

[00:21:38] Take time to reflect on your own thoughts and feelings about the issue at hand

[00:21:42] and consider how your beliefs in your biases may be influencing your perception.

[00:21:49] Eight, experiment with solutions.

[00:21:52] Explore different approaches or solutions to the problem.

[00:21:56] So by experimenting with various options you can gain practical insights and learn what works best for you.

[00:22:03] Nine, set goals.

[00:22:05] Establish clear goals for gaining clarity.

[00:22:08] Define what success looks like for you in terms of understanding the issue and outline actionable steps to achieve your objectives.

[00:22:17] And ten, the last one.

[00:22:19] Stay curious.

[00:22:21] Maintain a curious and open mind set throughout the process and embrace uncertainty as an opportunity for growth and learning.

[00:22:29] So by following these steps and actively engaging in the process of seeking clarity,

[00:22:34] individuals can effectively transition from the confusion stage of the awareness stage to the awareness stage

[00:22:40] and progress towards a clear understanding of the issues that they face.

[00:22:48] So I think this is a time that I could kind of share the story that I was going to share before.

[00:22:53] Alright, so actually what it did, it actually kicked off yesterday.

[00:22:57] They actually kicked off yesterday.

[00:22:58] I started off my day beautiful day.

[00:23:00] Great day. After the show that we had yesterday morning it was phenomenal. It was great.

[00:23:06] You know, it was all about empowerment. Yes, let's get it. Let's go. Affirmation. Yes, let's go.

[00:23:12] Those past two shows were like great, let's go, right?

[00:23:16] Now we come to Wednesday. This is hump day.

[00:23:19] Alright, so yesterday I got a phone call from a loved one and they were having a very difficult time in understanding the situation they were going through

[00:23:28] but also understanding is their growth on why they see things differently.

[00:23:33] So in the process of me listening to this loved one, you know, come, you know, speaking to me, there's something that they said that triggered me.

[00:23:41] Nothing bad on their end, but it was something that reminded me of something of me.

[00:23:49] So after I got off the phone call talking with this loved one and I was, you know, doing things around the house and, you know, preparing for a Thursday show for Axe Naomi

[00:24:00] and reading up on the book that I was reading from, that guest, those guests that would be on.

[00:24:08] I just get like an eerie feeling just came over me.

[00:24:13] And then I started to question myself.

[00:24:19] When I say I started to question myself, I'm like, I know this is what I'm supposed to do.

[00:24:23] Like I know, tentacles down in the sand while the water is swinging me.

[00:24:30] I know this is where I'm supposed to be.

[00:24:33] So I'm so confused on why this feeling came over me.

[00:24:40] Then I thought, is this a temporary thing?

[00:24:42] Is this just a moment?

[00:24:44] But no, I was feeling this way the remainder of the day and even this morning when I woke up this morning, I did my prayer.

[00:24:52] I said for a quick little meditation, I said, okay, let me get in here.

[00:24:55] Let me do this and let me go work out.

[00:24:59] But I was still feeling this way.

[00:25:02] And so I said, okay, hold on, I need to figure out what is going on here.

[00:25:07] Why am I feeling this way?

[00:25:10] Why am I feeling this way?

[00:25:12] And this is me wanting and needing clarity on what my thoughts were happening or why I was feeling this way.

[00:25:21] And so you know those 10 things that I just told you, I literally went through that this morning.

[00:25:28] I had a conversation with my baby early this morning on the phone and I was talking to him going back and forth.

[00:25:33] And I felt like the things that he was saying to me were irritating me.

[00:25:37] Not that he was saying anything bad at all.

[00:25:41] It was just, this was my shit.

[00:25:43] And so I knew before I was getting ready to throw my shit on this man, I needed to hang up from this phone and I need to go in search and figure out what the hell is going on with me.

[00:25:53] I need to understand what's the clarity of this.

[00:25:55] Why do I feel this way?

[00:25:58] Because I know this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

[00:26:00] I know this is where I'm supposed to be at.

[00:26:03] So what's my thing?

[00:26:05] What's my issue, right?

[00:26:08] So as I'm sitting there, after I hang up the phone, as I'm sitting there and I'm sitting at the boards.

[00:26:17] I'm sitting at the boards and I'm starting out my show, right?

[00:26:22] And as I start out my show, I'm like, hold up.

[00:26:27] A sense of easiness came over my mind when I said clarity.

[00:26:31] I kid you not.

[00:26:31] I kid you not.

[00:26:33] When I started to say the words of clarity, a sense of ease came through my mind, came through my whole spirit, through my body.

[00:26:44] And I sat there and I pushed the stop button as I was talking.

[00:26:50] As I was saying the beginning of it, I stopped it and I started cracking up loud.

[00:26:57] And at that moment I said, you know what?

[00:27:00] You need to move from behind this desk and you need to go sit over there light an instant.

[00:27:06] And you need to figure out what's going on with you.

[00:27:10] And I sat there.

[00:27:13] And I said, what was the issue?

[00:27:17] And I went back and I found out what triggered it.

[00:27:21] And so I fast forwarded my little mind and I said, okay, so why do you feel that way?

[00:27:27] And then it set my ego and my pride.

[00:27:31] I said, whoo, your ego and your pride.

[00:27:37] All right.

[00:27:38] So you feel in this way because you feel like you should be at a certain point now rather than where you are supposed to be.

[00:27:46] Because remember these are things that we talk about.

[00:27:48] We talk about being in the moment.

[00:27:52] And then I struggled with that being in the moment.

[00:27:57] Because even though I speak a lot about being in the moment,

[00:28:01] sometimes being in the moment as not always,

[00:28:08] are not always a happy moment.

[00:28:13] In this moment this morning I had to understand that.

[00:28:17] Just because I am living in the moment now doesn't mean that it always have to be a happy moment.

[00:28:26] This is where I felt that I need to be perfect came into mind.

[00:28:33] Like no, tell her go sit down somewhere.

[00:28:38] Be in this moment at this time.

[00:28:41] Because why are you in that moment and you're not happy in that moment?

[00:28:44] There is something that's happening with you that you need to learn from it.

[00:28:49] There's a lesson in there.

[00:28:52] There's a lesson in that moment.

[00:28:55] So don't cheat that experience.

[00:28:59] A lot of times we cheat an experience because we don't want to feel that in that moment.

[00:29:05] And sometimes it's a need for us to feel in that moment.

[00:29:10] Because it's going to help us in that next moment, if that makes sense.

[00:29:17] So as I'm sitting there going through the stages and doing all I was like wow this is what this is.

[00:29:28] So even though I know I'm supposed to be sitting right here in this seat talking to you all right now with this microphone in my face.

[00:29:37] Speaking on this thing I had to go through it again.

[00:29:43] Because when I sit on this platform speaking with you all it's nothing but authentic.

[00:29:50] It's nothing but authenticity.

[00:29:54] So even though I share with you what I went through in 2020, there's like no you need to share something that you're doing right now in 2024.

[00:30:01] So these people that's listening to you can be able to relate to what you're talking about.

[00:30:06] So they can understand how you started off with confusion.

[00:30:13] Yes, I started off this morning with confusion.

[00:30:19] Because I truly did not understand why I was feeling that way.

[00:30:24] I felt that I wasn't supposed to feel that way.

[00:30:27] Because I thought you get it all together. You know what it is. You have all the signs.

[00:30:32] When you're doing these podcasts, when you're doing this platform, when you're doing what you're doing to help people, you feel good right?

[00:30:41] Right? But then I have to remember that.

[00:30:49] Even though this is what I want to do, this is my desire, this is where everything is aligning right?

[00:30:59] The thing is life is still happening.

[00:31:02] And there are things and situations around me that would change my thought pattern on my perspective, even if it's at a moment.

[00:31:14] So sometimes I will say, ooh, I wish I had that.

[00:31:19] But I can't allow that to just take over me.

[00:31:27] So what I came clear on this morning is that it's okay for me being in the moment.

[00:31:33] It's okay for it to not be a happy moment always.

[00:31:38] No, I need to acknowledge what that moment is and why I feel that way.

[00:31:45] Because trust and believe it's going to come back up again.

[00:31:49] Remember I am 51 years old.

[00:31:52] I just started my healing process about 10 years ago.

[00:31:58] So I got what? 41 more years to catch up to.

[00:32:03] 41 years of unlearning shit.

[00:32:09] Understanding that the Season of Self-Love podcast, Axe Naomi podcast, Elevate Me Self-Discovery.

[00:32:15] All of these are meant to be for me.

[00:32:18] So if we go back in 2020, all of those things were aligned inside for me for right now.

[00:32:27] Got to go back to 1990.

[00:32:28] All of those things that happened from 1990 to 2020 helped to bring the Season of Self-Love to light,

[00:32:38] helped to bring Axe Naomi Bridgid and Gap to life.

[00:32:41] Even what happened from the year 1972 to 1990.

[00:32:48] All of those things that happened through those years brought me here to 2024.

[00:32:57] Brought me to this moment.

[00:33:00] Let's go back to yesterday when I was triggered by a simple conversation,

[00:33:09] but also what it allowed me to do is to look at it from a different perspective.

[00:33:14] But also this morning to let me know, okay, you have to be in that moment and feel that moment

[00:33:19] and what did that moment mean to you today?

[00:33:24] And then I had to go through the stages of clarity to understand what that was.

[00:33:33] And what it did is said, boom, you're sitting right here speaking on this of clarity.

[00:33:39] You're going to share this story today.

[00:33:43] And that's exactly what happened.

[00:33:45] So I hope I didn't lose y'all on that loop-to-loop with it.

[00:33:50] But that is what that is.

[00:33:52] This is what this is and this is what about the word clarity

[00:33:56] and how I've used it today as a word for me impeccably.

[00:34:02] All right?

[00:34:03] I'm going to take a quick break and when we come back, we're going to finish off this show.

[00:34:07] It's your Gertie Goddess.

[00:34:12] Washington Wellness Institute focuses on healing always.

[00:34:15] For me, if I look good, then I feel good.

[00:34:18] If I feel good, then I share the good.

[00:34:21] If I share the good, then I celebrate the good.

[00:34:24] If I celebrate the good, then I live the good so I can be paid to be my greatest.

[00:34:29] But I have to learn the good to be the good.

[00:34:32] So, what does it take to be the greatest?

[00:34:35] It's as simple as a free 15-minute consultation.
