water like nobody really gets you and

you feel out of place?

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
