Thank you for joining me on the very first episode of how to walk on sunshine, a podcast where I can teach you how to reconnect with your inner joy and creative power. I'm your host, Alexia Raucci and today's episode is called the main quest, embracing the sun self. And I want to start off by saying that it is my primary intent for you to find peace and joy in your life, to bring in abundance and connect with yourself so deeply that you truly enjoy living. And I'm sure you want that too, which is why you're probably listening and which is why I made this podcast. So you can take away the tips and the metaphors and the stories I share and integrate them in your life. And it is my hope that my words will expand beyond the timeframe of each episode and truly help you in some way. (00:56): And I want to remind you that you already have everything you need within yourself to access your true, joyful nature. I'm simply here just to help you along the way and I like to think about it like this. You're the main character in a video game. And I'm the guide. I just show up whenever you need a hint or you're stuck and you just need to get through to the next level. You have all the tools. I'm just reminding you how to use them effectively. And I kinda like to think of life as if it's a huge video game except there is no winning or big boss defeat. And all we have to do is just have fun. Go on a quest to enjoy ourselves, grow, discover the things that excite us and enrich our experience. You know, there are so many treasures that are hidden within the depths of the game in our life and we've already discovered a bunch of them. (01:46): But now this is our opportunity to further explore ourselves and the world so we can find even more treasures to enjoy. And we play video games to relax, right? To play in a world that is full of infinite possibilities. And what if I told you that life can be exactly like that if you let it be. And that is a key to all of this. If you let it be, you see there's no pressure to live. Think about how funny it is to say that we feel pressure to live and if we do feel pressure, it's pressure that we have made up and unfairly placed on ourselves and in order to live with freedom and joy it is best to release that pressure and replace it with lightness. So to do so I invite you to ask yourself the following question every day. Wouldn't it be nice if I had fun today and found moments of lightness in everything I do. (02:40): And I love this phrase because it's open, it has room for opportunity and it allows you to step into joy, to choose joy if you want. And that leads me into today's quest which is embracing the sun self and I needed the main quest because it truly summarizes the essential takeaway of this podcast, which is about discovering ways of connecting to the sun self. And I will be discussing with the sun self actually is how to embrace it and how doing so will allow more abundance into your life. So the sun self is a term I made up to essentially describe your true self, your higher self, your inner child, all these terms, I mean the same thing. Someone who is operating at the frequency of joy and you may be wondering why I say frequency while make sure you're listening intently to this next part because it is the foundation of everything I will be talking about in this podcast. (03:37): I say frequency because everything in this life is energy and I'll say it again. Everything in this life is energy and the energy of each and everything is vibrating at different...
