Why learning is LIFE CHANGING

I believe that if you aren’t learning, you are dying.

I know it sounds dramatic but I truly feel that we are here to learn, grow and share what we’ve learned. That is the overall purpose of life.

I know that learning has helped me through so many tough times in my life and having a desire to expand my knowledge has led me down unexpected paths and allowed me to create even more of what I want in my life.

It is the reason why my website exists and why I not only use Feng Shui in my life but also teach others to do the same. A desire to learn and a commitment to learn has given me so many gifts.

It is how I found freedom with Ho’oponopono and now get to share my experience with all of you in an experiential online training.

It is how I not only healed myself but my daughter as well when she became unexpectedly ill (with no medical reason that they could find) at 11 years old. Had I not deep dove into learning when I was unwell, I couldn’t have helped in such a significant way.

Learning has expanded my life in so many ways. In Episode 235: When learning is LIFE CHANGING, I share more about each of these stories and how it all has served me in so many big ways and why I feel that you should commit to being or continue to be a life long learner as well. Be sure to listen in!

So…what are you learning right now?

And…what will you be learning next?

Live the life you want

Are you LIVING based on the CALL OF YOUR SOUL?

Today…was it filled with busywork or meaningful, significant things that moved you towards your reason why?

Today…did you learn, grow and expand in anyway to strengthen your mindset and skillset?

Today…did you feel energized or exhausted most of the day?

Today…did you fill most of the hours doing the things that you love and move you towards the life, the relationships, the body and the business and career that you truly want or did you just do things?

LIVE the LIFE you want on a DAILY BASIS.

Make every action, every word spoken and every interaction one that provides you with the experience that you want to have and is focused on your reason why.

Enjoy EACH day in a big way.

The victory may come at the end but it’s the days in between that feed your soul.

Create the life that you desire most,

Jill

What’s happening around you?

This week so far has had a weird vibe to it.

There’s lots to do which is normal but things seem to be falling apart around me or becoming more challenging with each passing day.

Today, I took stock of what was happening energetically not only around me but more importantly with me.

This week…

The vacuum has decided to only work for 60 seconds at a time.

The dandelions I’ve been working so hard at getting rid of have reared an attack of greater proportion.

The tree that I planted last week is trying to die.

And this morning on my way into the city, one of my tires was pretty much flat.

None of these things are huge but on top of an already full week, it can create more stress and intensity and some feelings of frenzy and not being able to get it all done.

I was beginning to feel the pressure today, so I stopped for a moment and I asked myself this:

What does it all mean energetically when I look at how I am feeling…

No matter how much I am trying to keep up, it’s not working (like the vacuum).

The busywork and the menial tasks have overtaken my personal work time on my purpose and passions (like the dandelions are taking at the acreage).

I am starting to feel weaker, get tired and my energy is leaking faster than I can fill it up (like the tree and the tire).

So, late this morning, I stopped and I took a few deep breaths. I performed a fire and earth space clearing in my home and I committed to slowing down the energy.

Just like the external events have been spiraling this week, so has my personal energy.

But, I’m in charge of the energy and how it appears and how I’m impacted by it. So, I consciously chose to slow it all down.

By doing this, the pressure released, my energy felt lighter and I created space for the things that I feel called to do to fulfill my purpose. The rest of it will still get done but it doesn’t hold as much energetic pull as it did.

So, take a look at your life. How is your external environment mirroring your internal energy experience right now?

What needs to shift and change?

Remember, you create each day and your experience of it. You are in charge of the energy.

You just have to choose to be.

You are ENOUGH

You have everything you need inside of you already to go after what you want. You are capable and always have been.

What you don’t know, you can figure out along the way and learn as you go.

All you need to do is start. And that’s one of the hardest parts.

Know that if you don’t believe in you, I believe in you.

I want everyone to win. And that includes you, whether I know you really well or not.

In my work, I get the opportunity to help people remember who they are, decide what they want and then go after it strategically.

Because life, like business, prospers more when there is a plan.

So, start.

Your time is NOW.

Because you actually do have everything you need inside of you already and that is…a desire of something more.

Let that desire propel you forward.

Live your life with Purpose, be YOU.

Do you have a song?

This song carried me through the hardest days after my baby died…

When I look at the lyrics, I’m not certain it was all of them or more just the “its’a great day to be alive” part and the music that spoke to my heart. The song is by Travis Tritt (yep, I’m a country girl) and it would magically appear on the radio just when I needed some hope and trust that I could walk through the loss of my baby.

It made me focus on what was GREAT about the day, APPRECIATE what I did have, and be GRATEFUL for what lay before me as possibility.

We all need this kind of faith and trust when we are going through those tougher days or those big life crises.

I recorded a podcast about the song and it’s impact on my life that I would love for you to listen to. It’s actually the first time that I have shared how this song carried me through some of my darkest hours.

Episode 141: It’s a Great Day to BE Alive

I am excited to announce to you that my book When the Meaning is Lost is available now. Click here to buy the book.

The book is about my journey through the void, grief and living fully once again after the loss of my baby, a divorce, my health and walking my daughter through the loss of her best friend. I share what I have learned from my experiences about living and recreating meaning again when something significant happens in your life that changes everything.

The reviews of the book have been all that I could have hoped for thus far and I am so grateful for them and the impact the book is already making. I wanted to share a few of them with you here:

“Jill’s book is heartfelt, powerful, & shared from the soul. She details some of her most personal life experiences & incredible losses in such a way that you cannot help being profoundly moved. Her life’s painful losses and incredible challenges are detailed along with her overwhelming will and determination to always find a way to RISE again by seeking out and creating meaning in them all. This book will have you in awe of her abilities as an incredible woman, mother, wife, businesswoman, and beautiful friend to find the strength & look for the meaningful reasons to continue to lift ourselves out of the voids we experience. This is a must read. You will feel her pain and revel in her triumphant outlooks. Moving. Inspiring. Meaningful. She teaches us that our souls can be crushed in life and it will change us but we will be recreated and walk through the fires, emerging a stronger and more refined version of ourselves.”

“Everyone at some moment in their life will experience a loss, a job, a relationship, or the death of a loved one. Half memoir, half self-help, “When the Meaning is Lost” by Jill Ethier is a must read for anyone who has experienced grief in any form. Jill shows true and triumphant courage as she explores and dissects the tragic losses she has experienced. She shares her raw truth with a genuine passion to help others move through their grief to a place that blooms with growth, grace, and freedom.”

“What a Journey for Jill! I was worried I didn’t have time to read it….and I sat down to start and never put it down. You will cry, you will feel acknowledged, you will heal. I felt so encouraged after reading Herstory to keep moving forward in my life no matter what. I felt heard, seen & acknowledged through Her journey for mine….I hope she will have a book club group so we can all hang out and discuss! Thank you Jill for baring your soul and helping us collectively as women acknowledge and move through life’s hardships and pain. I SEE YOU and through that reflection I SEE ME clearer”
