That's why I wanted to make today's video to share with you three tips of what you can do when you're feeling this way. So before I get started I just want to share a really short story with you guys. When I say feeling like a fish out of water out of place I don't necessarily mean that you feel like this all the time it can be just in a particular area of your life. So when I was younger I always had great friends around me but i always loved talking about spirituality and universe philosophy for as long as I can remember and it was an area that i really had a hard time connecting with people on so I remember this one time when I must have been 12 years old or something like that I was at the park and I started asking my friend if she thinks that when we're born on this earth if we have all this predisposed knowledge or if were born like a blank slate and we learned everything as we go along from our parents and our influences also now known as the nature versus nurture debate which back then I didn't even know what that was but I remember she looked at me like i was a weirdo and the conversation kind of ended there and to be honest I don't blame her because we were 12 so that being said I know that there is a lot of times when I wanted to talk about these things or initiated conversation and people were just not really responsive and it made me feel like a little bit of a weirdo back then so i wanted to share with you guys my three things that I know now that I definitely didn't know back then and what i do now when I feel like a fish out of water i feel out of place! Alright so the first thing i want to say about this is that it's actually a blessing so what I mean by that is if you read the biographies of some of the most amazing entrepreneurs and philosophers around the world you'll see that a lot of the times they felt misunderstood out of place, didn't get the school system questioned everything were always told that they were weird or strange or silly and they should just stick to the norm so if you do have something that you love talking about or you love and researching about or whatever it is i would say hold on to that and pursue it because these people have gone on to create amazing organizations to change the way the world works and to change the way we think about a lot of things in this world so it's super important and I promise you it is a blessing so For me if you take a look at what i do i basically combine spirituality and science in my practice as a mindset coach and kinesiologist so ALL I do these days is talk about the universe and spirituality and philosophy and how the mind works and psychology and all these things so it's absolutely served me and I could definitely see where that interest sparked as a little girl how it helped me get to where I am today so if i had just shut myself down and not let myself explore it on my own further and thought i was a weirdo I definitely wouldn't even be where I am today. The second thing I want to say is if you have something that you love to talk about or you love to do make sure you seek other like-minded people around you so if you guys don't know I actually grew up in Canada and I moved over 12 Australia three years ago. And when I moved to Australia i took a whole bunch of seminars and I studied and I met most of my friends here now in the natural health industry so we have very similar interests and we could talk about things like spirituality in the universe and all these things for days and days and days but that's because I consciously sought out to make connections and make friends with people that had similar interests to me alright so the final thing that you can do when you feel like a fish out of water and you don't have any like-minded people around you is to actively seek a connection point so for example say you go into a workplace and there's no like-minded people around you - you know that what I would encourage you to do is find a common point so for me yes i love spirituality and all that kind of stuff but i also love yoga and i also love traveling and I also love marketing and i also love you know interior design or whatever it may be so if I'm speaking to somebody that I know has zero interest in what I do for a living or spirituality or any stuff like that then actively try to find something that we do have in common. Is it a place that they've traveled to around the world that i can ask them questions about etc sometimes it's really a simple it's just finding a book or series or a TV show or movie maybe both enjoyed and you can talk about that because if you're talking about something that you love and they're talking about something that they love you're automatically going to feel connected alright so those are my three tips of what you can do when you feel disconnected and like a fish out of water so just to recap some really really quickly number one is that you're just a genius so remember that there's actually nothing that's wrong with you number two is to seek out like-minded people and connect with them and number three is if you know somebody has dissimilar interests, find something on common ground like a TV show or series or a place that you both traveled to so you can connect over that alright guys if you liked this video be sure to hit the like button below share with your friends and subscribe for weekly videos every single tuesday on how to master your mindset!
