✨Mini-Series: 12 Universal Laws - Ep 2 ✨ · ✨️Aligned and Thriving: For Teachers🌿

• 0:05
  Hey guys, I'm back again. Welcome to another episode of
• 0:08
  Aligned and Thriving for teachers, educators, all of the
• 0:12
  human beings out there. Really.
• 0:14
  Last week we kicked off the miniseries with the BIG4 laws,
• 0:18
  and I'm going to continue to add on to this.
• 0:21
  So in case you forgot what last week was about because it's been
• 0:24
  a week, last week I talked about the Law of Oneness, the Law of
• 0:29
  vibration, the law of correspondence, and the Law of
• 0:33
  attraction and how they all shape the energy in your
• 0:39
  classroom space. So today we're going to dive
• 0:43
  into the next set, which I want to call the action and growth
• 0:47
  laws. These are the ones that remind
• 0:50
  us that it's not enough to just think or dream.
• 0:54
  We also got to do OK, the universe meets us in that side
• 1:00
  of the effort. So this is the action and the
• 1:03
  time when you will do the action and then grow.
• 1:06
  So today we're going to look at the law of inspired action, the
• 1:10
  law of perpetual transmutation of energy.
• 1:13
  I like the name of that one, the law of cause and effect and the
• 1:17
  law of compensation. And as always, I'm going to give
• 1:20
  you some practical ways that you can start applying all of these
• 1:24
  in your daily teaching practise. And Nyla just continues to star
• 1:29
  in this podcast. It's fantastic.
• 1:32
  I'm just going to have to sort that wonderful little fluffy
• 1:36
  human out before I continue. But that's what we're going to
• 1:39
  talk about today. We're going to talk about the
• 1:41
  next 4 laws, Law of Inspired Action, perpetual transmutation
• 1:46
  of energy, the law of cause and effect, and the law of
• 1:49
  compensation. So those.
• 1:50
  OK, OK. So we're going to start with #1
• 1:53
  the Law of Inspired Action. Manifestation is not just about
• 1:58
  visualising. OK, amazing if it was, though.
• 2:02
  Imagine if you could like, just picture something in your head
• 2:04
  and then you just have it. I mean, we'd all be driving
• 2:08
  these fancy cars, living in amazing houses.
• 2:11
  Like all of the things. That's not how it works.
• 2:14
  It's all about taking steps that align with your intuition and
• 2:19
  your goals. This is called inspired action.
• 2:23
  It feels different from forced action because it's that little
• 2:27
  nudge you get to try a new strategy to check in with that
• 2:31
  quiet student or to start that project that you've been putting
• 2:34
  off. It's like the little poke from
• 2:36
  the universe saying let's go do that.
• 2:39
  As teachers, we often get really caught up in the grind of our To
• 2:43
  Do List. I'm very guilty of that
• 2:45
  sometimes. But the magic really happens
• 2:48
  when we act on those intuitive nudges that just feel exciting,
• 2:52
  light or purposeful really. So some Acton, Acton active.
• 2:58
  I was trying to say active steps for you.
• 3:00
  Actions, actions. That's what I'm trying to say.
• 3:03
  Some actions that you can do. So notice the little ideas that
• 3:09
  just pop into your head and write them down and maybe try
• 3:12
  one of those this week. It's those little things that
• 3:15
  just go, oh, maybe if I did it this way it would work better.
• 3:18
  Try it and see what happens. If a lesson idea excites you,
• 3:22
  then just run with that. Even if it's not to your plan,
• 3:27
  you can always make it work. There's ways to make those
• 3:29
  things work, make space for your creativity.
• 3:33
  Give yourself permission to follow what lights you up.
• 3:38
  I mean, hello, this is pretty much me doing this podcast.
• 3:42
  I'm following what is lighting me up?
• 3:44
  I had a little nudge from the universe to go.
• 3:46
  Maybe I should do that. The little nudge being my
• 3:48
  husband pretty much. But following that and look
• 3:52
  where we are. Amazing.
• 3:54
  It was those inspired actions that sort of got me to the stage
• 3:57
  that I'm at now. So think about those and follow
• 4:02
  the excitement. If something makes you feel
• 4:05
  energised, try it. Just go, give it a go.
• 4:09
  It's those creative little windows, 10 to 15 minutes a day,
• 4:12
  that you explore some new teaching approaches or ways that
• 4:15
  you could connect with your students.
• 4:17
  Just check in with your own intuition.
• 4:21
  Pause for 30 seconds before you respond to that challenging
• 4:25
  situation because what feels like the right action might come
• 4:29
  to you in time instead of the reactive one, if that makes
• 4:32
  sense. You have permission to just
• 4:35
  pause and and wait before you respond.
• 4:37
  We tell kids that all the time. Think before you speak.
• 4:40
  Think before you act. You need to do the same before
• 4:42
  you're going to go and take action on something.
• 4:45
  Maybe stop and just reflect and give everyone a chance to slow
• 4:48
  down. Take a deep breath before you
• 4:51
  keep moving forward. At the end of your day, when
• 4:54
  you're doing your lovely journal time and having a bit of a
• 4:56
  reflect, jot down some inspired action that you might have taken
• 5:01
  and what difference it might have made.
• 5:03
  And if you honestly have no idea of what inspired actions might
• 5:07
  be for you or what they might look like, again, AI can be
• 5:11
  super helpful. I've used it before with this
• 5:14
  exact situation. So say there was a goal that
• 5:16
  you're working towards and you really wanted something to
• 5:19
  occur, you can ask AI, what are some aligned actions that I
• 5:23
  could possibly take to help guide me onto that path?
• 5:27
  I want to be that. So how do I get to that?
• 5:30
  What are some steps that I could take to get to that?
• 5:32
  Because that's it's going to help you.
• 5:34
  It's going to help guide you in the right direction.
• 5:36
  And then those inspired little actionable steps will help you
• 5:40
  manifest and get to what you want.
• 5:42
  OK, so that is all about that law.
• 5:44
  The second one I want to talk about today, the big one, big
• 5:48
  words I should say, the law of perpetual transmutation of
• 5:53
  energy. Now this law is saying that
• 5:56
  energy is always moving and changing.
• 6:00
  That's what the perpetual transmutation.
• 6:02
  So it's always moving, it's always changing.
• 6:05
  The powerful part is that you can shift your low energy into
• 6:10
  high energy. So the stress, frustration or
• 6:13
  the negativity, it doesn't just have to stay stuck, it can be
• 6:17
  transmuted. Like in teaching, this might
• 6:20
  look like taking a chaotic class and using some humour, some
• 6:23
  movement, some calm presence, some rain breaks to shift that
• 6:26
  energy. It's about remembering that you
• 6:30
  don't have to stay in that vibe that you walked into.
• 6:34
  So big one for relief teachers. If you walk into that classroom
• 6:38
  and that vibe is off, you're going to have to do something
• 6:40
  about that. So you're going to have to start
• 6:41
  a meeting, a really high vibe or a really low vibe to try and get
• 6:45
  them to match your vibe, if that makes sense.
• 6:47
  So it's that whole part of passing the energy round.
• 6:50
  So some actions that you could do in this space is when energy
• 6:55
  starts to dip in, you change it. You stand up, you move, you
• 6:57
  clap, you switch activities, you do something different.
• 7:00
  I've done that a million times before.
• 7:02
  When you're going, Oh my gosh, this isn't working, they're
• 7:03
  crashing, they're burning, I need to change it.
• 7:05
  Get up, move around, make a change, make a switch.
• 7:08
  Use humour or music to reset the room's vibe.
• 7:12
  I know when I've got lots and lots of high vibe kids, I might
• 7:15
  search a a particular like beat of music and I can't for the
• 7:19
  life of me remember stuff often on my head.
• 7:20
  But you can search the different levels that you need to start
• 7:24
  bringing the vibe down. You can actually look up
• 7:26
  playlists on YouTube for classrooms that are like a low
• 7:28
  vibe playlist to start bringing the vibes down because those
• 7:32
  rhythmic beats will bring their heart rates down and then
• 7:35
  everyone will start being In Sync of that vibe.
• 7:38
  OK, so that might help and the same with building it up
• 7:42
  personally. You've got to shift your own
• 7:44
  energy first though. You need to do your breathing
• 7:46
  before you react, especially to those tough situations.
• 7:49
  You can say I just need a moment or I'm sorry you or you don't
• 7:53
  even have to say I'm sorry. That's people pleasing there.
• 7:55
  Don't do that. Just name up, pause, hold that
• 8:01
  thought. I just need to go do and have
• 8:04
  your exit strategy or interesting.
• 8:06
  Can we just park that and we'll come back to that tomorrow at
• 8:09
  this time? I've seen a lot of principals do
• 8:11
  that in that space. OK, yeah, we've talked about
• 8:13
  this. Let's park that for today and
• 8:15
  we'll come back to that and I'll touch base with you tomorrow
• 8:17
  around that. It gives you a break.
• 8:19
  It gives you some space to stop and think about what your next
• 8:22
  action or your steps going to be.
• 8:23
  OK, So you can think about all that in that relation of the
• 8:27
  whole perpetual transmutation of the energy again.
• 8:30
  See, are you noticing that all of these laws are like
• 8:32
  connected? They all talk to each other and
• 8:33
  they all work with each other. The So yeah, it's always moving.
• 8:38
  It's always changing. Taking a deep breath myself.
• 8:41
  So you can shift the whole energy of your room immediately
• 8:45
  by doing some of those actions with the sound, with the music,
• 8:48
  with moving. You need to model the calm
• 8:50
  first. So if you're calm, you're gonna
• 8:53
  emit that and their energy's gonna start mirroring that.
• 8:57
  Humour as a tool, as I've talked about, have some light jokes or
• 9:01
  playful interactions that can break tension instantly to help
• 9:04
  lift the collective mood. Have them as a tool and reflect
• 9:08
  and reinforce at the end of your lessons, notice what worked,
• 9:11
  what didn't work, what's best way to shift that energy and
• 9:14
  keep the mental toolkit in there for next time.
• 9:17
  Ready to go #3 for today, The law of cause and effect.
• 9:22
  Again, this probably relates a little bit to karma. 2 is it's
• 9:27
  the whole, is it Isaac Newton, Newton's law of physics?
• 9:31
  Oh gosh, I'm thinking back to high school now.
• 9:33
  Like every action creates a reaction.
• 9:36
  Whatever you put out comes back. OK, So in your classroom or in
• 9:42
  your workspace, your consistency, your kindness, your
• 9:45
  follow through, it all matters because that's creating trust
• 9:49
  and predictability within your classroom environment.
• 9:51
  And that's what's going to come back to you throughout the year.
• 9:53
  We know this as teachers and educators that when you let
• 9:57
  expectations slide, the behaviour slides completely.
• 10:01
  When you hold the line with fairness, students will rise to
• 10:05
  meet it. That cause and effect law.
• 10:09
  It's like nature's way of reminding us that our actions
• 10:12
  always like echo, like Nyla's college just echoed when she was
• 10:16
  shaking her little body next to me.
• 10:18
  Anyway, sorry, distracted. So that's that's how that works.
• 10:24
  So for us as teachers in practise, we need to remember
• 10:28
  that consistency is key. Pick one classroom rule or
• 10:32
  expectation and stick to that one for every day for like a
• 10:35
  week so that your kids are learning that your boundaries
• 10:39
  are reliable and consistent. Work on that.
• 10:42
  Just focus on one and get that right.
• 10:45
  Then go on to your next one. Take some small daily actions.
• 10:49
  Maybe there's one kid that you need to really check in with
• 10:52
  every day. Check in with that student,
• 10:53
  Provide some positive feedback. Acknowledge their effort.
• 10:57
  Those tiny little things, they compound into big effects over
• 11:01
  time. Think about these kids that are
• 11:03
  really hard to love. You know the ones, you know who
• 11:06
  they are. You know that they never have a
• 11:08
  sick day. They are always there, always
• 11:11
  there, and they are looking for attention, sometimes in the
• 11:14
  wrong way. So reward them with attention
• 11:16
  when they've done it in the right way.
• 11:18
  You can find something to love in every single student.
• 11:23
  It may be hard and it may be small, but you can find
• 11:27
  something. So you might need to work really
• 11:29
  hard on yourself to change that in your head.
• 11:32
  But those small daily actions will count.
• 11:35
  Reflect on the results. So at the end of every week,
• 11:38
  again, look at your outcomes, reflect on it, journal on it.
• 11:42
  What reactions did my actions create and what are the changes
• 11:45
  I want to make? You need to model cause and
• 11:48
  effect. Show students how your actions
• 11:51
  have and create consequences, both positive and negative, so
• 11:55
  that they can see the law in action OK.
• 11:59
  And celebrate those positive outcomes when students respond
• 12:03
  well to consistent actions. Acknowledge it and reinforce the
• 12:07
  pattern, because then they're going to do it again.
• 12:08
  Cause and effect. That's just how it works #4 for
• 12:12
  today. The law of compensation.
• 12:15
  Now, obviously, this is the law about receiving in proportion to
• 12:19
  what you give. So compensate.
• 12:21
  It's not going to be always immediate or obvious, but the
• 12:27
  universe will always balance out the energy, the effort, the
• 12:31
  integrity that you put in. It's all going to come back to
• 12:34
  you. Sometimes it might come back to
• 12:36
  you through a student breakthrough, some positive
• 12:38
  relationships building, or even those opportunities you didn't
• 12:41
  even see coming. But as teachers, sometimes we
• 12:45
  feel like the effort is just endless and the reward is
• 12:48
  invisible. But trust that what you saw,
• 12:53
  what you saw, what you saw and what you see in your classroom.
• 12:56
  I should say what you see in your classroom and what you sow,
• 13:00
  the seeds that you're you're sowing, you will eventually reap
• 13:03
  like you'll reap the reward. If you keep being consistent and
• 13:06
  turning up and having those boundaries and that whole idea
• 13:09
  of cause and effect, it's all going to come back to you.
• 13:12
  All of these laws are saying the same thing.
• 13:14
  They all flow together. They all start with you.
• 13:17
  OK, Acknowledge your efforts. Write down three wins you've had
• 13:21
  each week, no matter how small. Again, gratitude, highest
• 13:25
  vibration. Practise some generosity.
• 13:28
  Share your resources, Mentor a colleague, and just watch what
• 13:32
  happens when you actually choose positivity.
• 13:35
  Really choose to share sharing, scaring people and trust the
• 13:39
  long game. I know that's hard, but remember
• 13:43
  that today's little bit of extra effort may bloom in a student
• 13:47
  years later. It's going to be those kids that
• 13:51
  you've worked so hard and then they see you in the street when
• 13:54
  they're an adult and they're like, you're the teacher.
• 13:57
  I remember because you cared about me, You loved me.
• 14:02
  Like I actually was aware that I married in your classroom.
• 14:06
  It's those moments. OK, The last one, that's what I
• 14:10
  was talking about, the law of compensation.
• 14:11
  So I am up to #4 I had to remind myself I got, I got lost in my
• 14:14
  thoughts. So you're going to acknowledge
• 14:15
  your efforts, You're going to practise generosity.
• 14:17
  You invest in your students, You have that long term perspective
• 14:22
  and just celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate.
• 14:25
  Whenever students achieve something, reflect on your
• 14:27
  contribution because it's proof. It's it's just proof of that
• 14:31
  compensation law in action and showing you what actually
• 14:33
  happens. So those are all of the action
• 14:38
  and growth sort of laws, the inspired action, the
• 14:41
  transmutation of energy, the cause and effect and the
• 14:43
  compensation. So when you get back, they
• 14:45
  remind us that teaching it's it's not just about intention,
• 14:48
  it's about action. We all have great intentions,
• 14:52
  but we need to make sure that we're following that up with
• 14:54
  action and that the energy and the choices that we're making
• 14:57
  every single day, they really do create those ripple effects.
• 15:01
  So this week my challenge to you is, excuse me, I was going to
• 15:05
  have a go. I challenge you to choose one
• 15:08
  one of these things. So maybe it's noticing an
• 15:11
  intuitive nudge and just following it, or maybe it's
• 15:14
  shifting the whole vibe of your classroom with humour instead of
• 15:17
  that frustration. Whatever it is, just start
• 15:20
  experimenting, OK? Give something a try.
• 15:25
  In the next episode, I'm going to close out the miniseries.
• 15:28
  Thanks, Nyla, of how to navigate challenges to find balance and
• 15:33
  flow with the rhythm of teaching.
• 15:35
  It's the final set of laws, so you don't want to miss this one.
• 15:38
  It's the last four. So until then, I want you to
• 15:40
  keep showing up, keep taking action, trusting the ripple
• 15:44
  effect. This is aligned and thriving for
• 15:46
  teachers. But again, it's more than that.
• 15:48
  It's for anyone who has anything to do with humans, no matter
• 15:50
  what size I feel. But in case you haven't been
• 15:53
  told, today you are doing an amazing, amazing job.
• 15:56
  You are so loved and so cared for.
• 15:59
  And if you need someone to check in with or talk to, my inbox is
• 16:02
  always open. So feel free to send me Adm,
• 16:04
  Send me your memes. Feel me with humour.
• 16:06
  I'm happy as to get your memes and your quotes.
• 16:08
  I love it right? Don't if you see my Instagram,
• 16:10
  that's pretty much pretty much what it is like memes and and
• 16:13
  quotes love it, love it want to share it with the world.
• 16:16
  So until then, I will see you next time stay aligned and
• 16:20
  subscribing and I'll talk to you again soon.
• 16:22
  Bye bye.
