Ep. 19: Creating Powerful Mornings with The Sacred 6

The sacred 6 are the 6 things that you do every single day that you know make you feel good. Welcome to the Prosperous Woman Podcast. I'm Claire Sellers, a business mentor and coach who is absolutely obsessed with helping you create the business of your dreams and your most prosperous life. Tune in for inspiring conversations with extraordinary women that will propel you toward towards becoming the prosperous woman. Hello, hello. Coming to you live from Charleston, South Carolina. I hope everyone is having an amazing day wherever you are, whenever you happen to be listening to this solo episode. This is gonna be a quick one. I'm experimenting with kind of these bite-size, more tangible episodes that will really leave you with not only something to think about, hopefully make you feel something, but also an action step that you can take that will move you forward in your life and business. So after— it's been almost 10 years at this point building my business. I know firsthand that you will experience the inevitable highs and lows that come with entrepreneurship. You are going to have the days where you simply just don't want to show up. You don't wanna post on Instagram, you don't wanna show up on the client call, you don't wanna record the podcast episode, you don't want to write the email. So first of all, I just wanna normalize that this happens. This is part of the process. This is part of life. And you know what? I would rather feel that way about my own creation than have to dread going to work for someone else and building someone else's dream. So no matter where you are in your business journey, whether you're wanting to just start your business, you have an idea, you have a glimmer, you have a dream, or you're already at multi-six figures, really in the scaling phase of your business. I just wanna celebrate you for even taking the time to listen to this podcast because it tells me that you are here for growth. You are here for greatness. You are building an extraordinary life no matter where you are in that process. So first of all, well done. Thank you. I've had so many different habits, patterns, routines, rituals, you name it, over the years that have helped me stay on track and have really helped me stay anchored in who I am and where I'm going. And I talk about this in all of my programs. And so I thought that it would be good to share with you all, which is, all my clients know about this, it's called the Sacred Seven. 6. So what I like my clients to do, and this is like foundational, you guys, I don't care where you are in your business, like everyone needs to be clear on your Sacred 6. So the Sacred 6 are the 6 things that you do every single day that you know make you feel good. It's that simple. And it sounds really simple and sticking to these and doing these every day is harder than you think. And it's not actually hard. I don't even like to use that word. It just takes devotion. And one of my favorite people, Melissa Wood Tepperberg, Melissa Wood Health, maybe you guys know her. She always says, I wish I could coin this phrase, how bad do you wanna feel good? And this is really like the core of the concept of the Sacred Six. You know, it's, it's like, Mm-hmm. Do I wanna get up and meditate? Absolutely not. But how bad do I wanna feel good? Really bad. And I'm gonna share with you what my sacred 6 are and how I kind of scale these based on how I'm flowing and how I'm feeling. I do not believe in like strict, you know, militant routines. I don't think women are meant to flow like that. I, I think sometimes, you know, we, we want to go a little bit harder, um, or deeper, whatever it might be. And then sometimes we just need to truly go super slow. And your sacred six get to bend and move and groove with you no matter what season of life you're in. And they get to be really simple. So I'm just gonna share mine and then I would love for you to create yours. Hey sister, I'm interrupting this episode with a message that I think you might need to hear today. Listen, we get one precious life, and I believe in my heart of hearts that inside of every single woman, yes, even you, is a business waiting to be born. This is what I want for you. I want you to wake up energized, feeling alive, free, and inspired every day, where you're the woman who leaps out of bed in the morning so excited to start the day. You thought that that was just in the movies, but no, this is actually your real life. You're no longer sitting behind the scenes or a screen thinking, who am I to have a successful business? You are now the woman that everyone wonders, how is she doing that? You feel electrified by your purpose and vision, which looks like you being a founder and CEO, knowing exactly what your business does, how it helps people and sales roll in with ease daily. You know that your business has the structure to support you and your bank account because you have built a purpose-led movement with a loyal following, steady sales, and consistent revenue. Listen, this is all possible for you, and the Dream Accelerator, my signature 4-month business birthing program, will absolutely help you make your dream a reality. Over 100 businesses. Yes, 100 businesses across 20 industries have been born through the Dream Accelerator process. And I would love you to become my next dream business success story.

I'm so excited to connect with you and see how I can support you in making your dream business a reality. The first thing, the first one, and I do this literally no matter where I am, is I have lemon water in the morning. On all of my retreats, we have lemon water when we first wake up. It's like a cute little ritual. When I was living in India, they would buy me, they were actually limes 'cause they didn't have lemons, and they would make me lime water in India. I mean, I do this no matter what. It just like signals to my body like, "Hey, we're here, we're waking up." So I have my lemon water and then I make my way over to, I have a little like, no matter where I am, and you guys know I've lived all over the world, moved to so many different houses. I'm the most stationary now living in Charleston than I've been, you know, probably in almost 10 years. But I always have usually a yoga mat and I always have my journal with me. So I move over to kind of like my little area where my yoga mat is, I get on my mat, and that honestly is my second sacred 6. Because sometimes I just make it there and that's good enough. But I at least talk myself into, just get on the mat, right? I can usually make it there. So lemon water, get on my mat, and then I always get out my journal. And some seasons, like, I, you know, am journaling a lot. If I've got a lot moving through me, you know, I'm writing letters that I never will send, you know, just things I need to share. Sometimes I'm writing poems, sometimes, you know, I'm writing— Oh, that's so beautiful. Visions, dreams, feelings, you name it. And sometimes without a fail, I always do this on Mondays is I write what are my intentions for the week? What are my internal and external intentions for the week? And all my clients do this as well. So like my internal intentions are my ways of being. So I wanna show up, you know, full-hearted. I wanna show up— Yeah. You know, in my most ooey feminine energy. Like, I wanna show up playfully, like whatever that energetic intention might be. And then I have my external intentions, which are actionable items. So, you know, maybe it's bring in 20 women into the Build Your Dream Biz Challenge, for example, or, you know, bring in one new one-on-one client or whatever it might be. Mm-hmm. Um, you know, or maybe it's complete my taxes. These are like tangible things. Right? So I do this every Monday and throughout the week, even if I have nothing to write in my journal, I will open my journal and I will look at those intentions and I will check in. How are we doing? Okay. So lemon water, get on the mat, journal. Sometimes I journal, sometimes I just look at my intentions. I always do the intention setting on Mondays. Like that is non-negotiable. My clients do that too, internal and external. And then I move into my Kundalini practice. Some of you might know I'm a Kundalini teacher. I don't really teach outside of my retreats, but it is my primary practice and has been for well over 5 years. So I have a Kundalini practice. It's a practice rooted in prosperity that I've been doing for probably over 2 years now. And then I also do kind of a global healing practice. Kriya where I envision anyone in my life, maybe it's myself, someone in my family, a friend who just needs love and healing, my clients. And I do that Kriya. And then that's my meditation practice. And there's usually movement involved in the warmup. So basic stuff, you know, like Cat-Cow and stuff like that just to kind of get myself moving. And so I can feel my body, right? Mm-hmm. So I do my Kundalini practice and then I always, I have, and these change, but I always have a list of affirmations tucked under my little jewelry box on my, an armoire, I guess I'd call it. And I say these affirmations in my mirror and right now they are related surrounding love and calling in my husband and family and things like that. But you know, prior to this season that I'm in, they were more focused on my business and finding a home that I loved. Okay? So they kind of change based on where I'm at. But I really believe in the power of affirmations and mirror work, and they have to be together because affirmations are a little vapid if you don't like really believe it. But I really do believe in the power of saying something every single day, looking yourself in the mirror and feeling it. Okay? You have to feel it. And then the last thing I do is I do 10 before 10. So I get out and walk for 10 minutes before 10:00 AM. Them. Even if it's freezing cold, even if it's raining, like, I just make myself get out and get the sun in my eyes. Like, I try to wear as little clothing as possible just so I can, like, feel the air and the earth and all the things. So that's my sacred 6, and I kind of showed you how I scale those. Like, if I don't feel like journaling, at least I'm looking at my intentions, right? Like, my Kundalini practice is scalable. It can be 30 minutes or it can be 10. The walk, sometimes I walk for like an hour if I have the time and space and the, the desire. Doing these practices and this Sacred Six method has been so transformative for me because it's really enabled me to show up for myself. And live by one of my principles, which is how we do one thing is how we do everything. How we do one thing is how we do everything. So I am the woman who shows up for herself and does what she says she's going to do, whether it's in my Sacred Six, whether it's in my business, whether it's at the gym, whether it's with my family. Like I do what I say I'm going to do. And the easiest place to practice this is with yourself through the Sacred Six. And so this not only is an incredible, you know, personal development practice, but it's also an incredible business practice, because what you'll start noticing is when you start having the devotion and discipline to get on your mat, you know, journal, walk, whatever your unique combination might be, you'll notice that you do start showing up and posting on Instagram. You do write the email, you do have the conversation that you're nervous to have. You do hold the boundary, right? Because you're doing it with yourself. So it's so much easier to do it in your business and with other people. So I want you to come up with your own unique sacred 6. Like, for some of my clients, this includes things like, you know, taking a cold shower, doing yoga, jumping up and down, dancing. Like, it could literally be any 6 things that you know you can do every day that make you feel good. And that's it. That's the practice. It's so simple. And it's so transformative. And I feel bold saying this, but I am pretty sure I'll do it for the rest of my life. Not that it'll— won't change. I'm sure it will change and shift and ebb and flow, but the basis of it is with me for life. So I would love to know what are your Sacred Six. Feel free to DM me. This is such a powerful practice, and you'll already be ahead of the game when you join one of my programs because all my clients do this. We check in on these because it will have such a massive impact, not only in your life but in your business. Thank you so much for joining me today. Sending you guys all the love in the world.
