The 7 Shifts Every Mom Must Make - Outside to Inside
26 Aug 2019 · 17 min
Hannah Keeley outlines the first of seven shifts every mother must make: moving from seeking external solutions to doing internal work on thoughts and beliefs. Victoria Monk left her 40-hour job after completing Keeley's Mom Mastery program to pursue her passions. Keeley uses the analogy of instant-gratification seedlings versus real seeds to show why outside fixes are temporary and internal transformation yields lasting results.

Hey, Mama. Hannah here. And I believe there are seven critical shifts every mom needs to make if she's going to live the life that God wants her to live. That life of success, of joy, of abundance. If you're going to live that life, you've got to make these seven shifts. I'm going to share that first shift in today's episode of that mom show. Here's the big question. How are these average everyday moms getting radical results in their lives? How are they able to transform their health, money, families, homes and have fun doing it? The trick? We're not average. I'm Hannah Keeley and I'm going to spill our secrets and answer your questions right now in that mom show. Ok? Seven critical shifts, y'. All. I spent so much time and energy thinking if I could just get one thing, one thing I could give you to totally radically transform your life. What would it be like not not saving time, not saving money, not organizing your home. I'm trying to think if, if you could just grab hold of this one thing, what would it be? And I came up with seven critical shifts. These seven shifts that every mom needs to make if she's going to truly live the life she wants to live. The life that God designed her to live. Now the first one is moving from the outside to the inside. But before we get into that critical shift, I want to share with you one of the testimonies from our master mom, Victoria Monk. This is awesome. We have an online university called Mom Mastery University, the only online university for moms. You can get inside. We choose your major, get your certification. It's incredible. You need to go to mommastery.com and check it out. But before you do that, listen to this testimony that came in from our master mom, Victoria Monk. She said, before Mom Mastery, I worked a 40 hour job. That has not been my passion. I felt stuck there as the pay is good and the benefits as well. After Mom Mastery, I resigned from my job on Friday, August 16th to focus on my yoga career, writing and mentoring within Mom Mastery University. I thank God for affording me the opportunity. I call that a win. Oh yeah, Victoria, we are all calling that a win. Way to go. That is amazing. We're so excited for her and I'm excited for you. I want you to get inside Mom Mastery and you get the transformation so I can read your testimony on our show. Now let's talk about this first critical shift that you need to make. Every mom needs to make. This first shift is moving from the outside to the inside. Now, what do I mean by that? This, I believe, is that first step. It's the first step I had to take. It's the first step every single mom has to take before she's going to truly get the results she wants to get in life. No matter what that is. If she wants to change her health, if she wants to change her home, her money. Inside Mom Mastery University, we have six pillars, okay? Six pillars that kind of encompass our entire life. Faith, our walk with God, family, which is parenting, in our marriage fortress, which is how we manage our home, finances, how we manage our money, fitness, our body, our energy level, and of course, freedom, which is emotional control, emotional power. Now think about those areas of your life right now, all of those areas. Think about it for a moment. Think about your home, okay? Think about your family. Think about your fitness, your health. Now, in all of these areas, there's something you love and something you don't love, right? Think about your family. There's something you love, right? And there's something that. Well, it's kind of a little bit challenging, maybe. Think about your finances. What do you love about that? And what do you feel is a current challenge or maybe your fitness? What is a current challenge? What is something you don't love right now? Because this is what I want you to entertain. Everything in your life right now, everything that you love about your life and everything that you don't really love about your life. That's kind of a challenge. I want you to understand that all of that was first created inside you. Proverbs 4. 23 tells us, above all else, guard your heart, for out of it flow all the issues of life. Now, what the Bible is telling us there is above all that you do. The first thing you need to do is make that shift of guarding the inside, of guarding what's in your heart. And what that means is guarding, Guarding your thoughts, guarding your belief system, guarding how you're thinking. Because out of that flow everything else. So the outside that you're looking at, all of the outside things, what you love, you don't love. For example, I, you know. No, I don't love not being able to run up a flight of stairs without breathing heavy. Or maybe you don't love that you have a stack of bills you can't pay. Or maybe you don't love that you and your teenager are at each other's throats all the time. So maybe there's something in your life that's like, you know what? Ugh. This is a challenge for me. Like, this is really a challenge. Like, I've tried to lose weight and I can't. Or I just feel so tired all the time. Or I just. I just want to run away. I just want to get out of here. Or maybe it's just, like, I'm not where I know I should be. Like, I know it's time for me to level up. I know there's something better, something bold or something greater that God designed me for, and I can't get there. What I want you to think about for a moment, to entertain this thought that maybe it's not something outside of you that needs to change. Maybe the change needs to happen on the inside of you because that is what created it in the first place. I remember my own moment where I had to switch from the outside to the inside. I don't know if you've heard my story, but I was laying in a pile of laundry crying my eyes out. Like, ugly cry, ugly cry. Waiting for someone to change my life or something to change my life. Like someone to come in and organize my home, which was packed with clutter and messy and. Or someone to come in and say, you know what? Hey, you just won the lottery. Like, you could pay off your debts. Or someone to come in and say, here's your personal trainer. Like, they have this awesome secret way of helping you lose all that fat around your middle. Like, I just wanted help. I wanted a rescuer, right? Either a person or a thing to come in and say, hey, I got the solution. Here it is. I didn't understand at that time that it wasn't outside of me, it was inside of me. And when God said, hey, get up and fold up your laundry. Literally, what he tells me to do, when I was like, at the deepest pain pit, he was telling me, your life change. That success you want so badly, that freedom that you desire and crave, it's already inside of you. So it's not a secret strategy from the outside. It's something from the inside that you need to do your belief work, you need to do your thought work in order to create that in your life. I didn't understand it until that moment. And that's when I made the shift from the outside to the inside. Now, the Bible tells us in Romans, it's like, don't be conformed to the pattern of this world. Like, the world is always looking for the quick and easy thing. Like, oh, maybe if I had gotten in bitcoin, I'd be a millionaire by now. Or maybe if I, you know, I need to do keto, then I'm going to lose all my weight. Or it's always looking for the outside solution. That's why Google is so popular. That's why people are like, that's why Google is actually a verb now, right? You Google it. Like, you look outside of you for a solution. What God is telling us is that don't be conformed to that. Like, that's the way the world operates. And that's why they always go back to what they started with in the first place. Hey, mama. We'll get right back to the podcast, but did you know there is an entire online university just for moms? If you're ready to get radical results in your life, you can just go to mommastery.com that's M O M M A S T E R Y dot com. Make sure you check it out and take your free quiz. Again, that's mommastery.com M O M M A S T E R Y.com now back to the podcast. Instead, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. So we're supposed to do the inside work, renewing our mind so that we can test and prove what. What God wants for our lives. That good life, that pleasing life, that life of freedom, of joy. Imagine waking up every day with excitement. Like, you're. You feel free. You're at that next level. You've got the money that, the money you desire. You've got the family life that you crave. You've got that relationship power. You, you're just on top of your game now. This is the life. This is the. The blessing that God has for us. He doesn't intend for us to live a life of lack or stress or depression or anxiety. He's like, get out of that. I've got a way for you to do it. It's not outside. It's inside. Because we carry the spirit of God within us. It says that we have the mind of Christ, but we have to be transformed by his word. We have to really understand how to do this inside work so that we can start getting the outside change. I remember so many times being offered by networks to be on their makeover shows. They wanted me to come and help a mom, like, you know, declutter her entire home. And then she comes back from her vacation, she's like, yay, my home's decluttered. Yay. And I'm like, no. Like, because I know enough about human behavior to know that until you change the behavior, you're not going to get any lasting results. Right. It's going to go right back to how it was in the first place. So you can declutter a house when they come back. Nothing has changed inside. Nothing has changed with what created the problem in the first place, right? So if you don't deal with what created which is inside your mind, you're not going to have any lasting results in your life. So I wouldn't do that because I knew, like, in two months it was just going to be cluttered again because nothing changed about the person who created the clutter in the first place. This is why we'll get on these outside solutions. We'll do the next diet, right? We'll join a gym, we'll get the a new budget in place. We'll download a money app, we'll do the envelope system. We'll do some decluttering program or some decluttering challenge or organizational thing. And then, like, we get results. But it goes right back to it. Have you ever experienced that? Have you ever experienced, like, oh, I lost five pounds on that diet, but then like two months later, I'm eating the same way, I'm living the same life, I'm doing the same kind of lifestyle. Nothing changed about that. Now it's because nothing changed inside of you. And that's where the critical shift has to take place, from the inside to the outside. Now, let me tell you why most moms don't do this. It's important that you hear this because it's not instant results. It's kind of like the difference between when you go to the nursery and you find like an eight pack of seedlings, okay? Like, let's say you get like an eight pack of pansies to plant, right? And you go to your home and you put them around your mailbox and there it is. Like, you can see it. There's the flowers right there around your mailbox. Yay. Instant gratification. But let's say you go and you get a pack of seeds, okay? You plant them in the ground, and you don't see anything the next day, you don't see anything the next day, you don't see anything a week later, and you probably still don't see anything. Maybe a few little green shoots, and you're like, whatever. You know enough about gardening that it's eventually going to come up. However, you may not know enough about doing the internal self coaching to understand that you are going to get results. They're going to last, they're going to be more abundant, they're going to be prolific. It's not going to be effort when you do the inside work. See, when you do the inside work, it's like planting the seeds. We all want to open up the closet door. See it decluttered, right? We want to open up our fridge and it smells like the fresh lemon cleaner. And everything's organized in cute little glass containers, right? Like, beautiful. We could, you know, take a picture and post it on Pinterest or something. That's the instant results. And we can do that in an hour, two hours, one day. But when you do the inside work, when you make that shift, you're saying that you understand your current life was created out of the internal mechanisms, out of your thought processes, out of your belief system. And you may not see results immediately, but you will see results. You will. When you transform the way you think you will transform the way you live, guaranteed. You may not see results immediately, but as you start seeing results, they last. And it's not like effort. It's not like, oh, I gotta stick to my budget. I can't eat that, I can't eat that, I can't eat that. And then you eat it, you know, like, it's not effort. It's not like resisting cravings and struggling. Because that's not the life that God designed you to live. When you do the internal work, it's just a flow of what's going on in your belief system anyway. So this is the critical shift that you need to make from looking for the outside solution. Someone's got to come in and save me. I need the next program to the inside work. How do I change the way I think? How do I work with my belief system? How do I do the thought work? Now, all throughout September, inside Mom Mastery University, we're going to do an entire series on self coaching for, for the mom brain.
