My name is Smiley Filomeno Rodriguez and I am a Latina life empowerment coach and a social worker.

Speaker 1: 0:53

Let's begin this journey together and empower each other to become the best versions of our lives. Let's get started. You got this. Hello, I am so excited that you're here.

Speaker 1: 2:19

It is at the time of this recording it is Friday, june 21st, and I hope that you're doing amazing this year 2024. I wanted to talk to you because I know that you may be going through difficult times. I understand that it can be difficult. You may be feeling fatigued, you may be feeling overworked, you may be feeling burnt out. I know that that's a common feeling for many of us these days and I want to share with you three steps, actually my triple L method, which I designed for myself and then for my clients. So it's so good to be able to share something that helped me overcome a lot of the seasons in my life where they were winter seasons, like Jim Rohn talks about, the lessons in the season and all the seasons come and go right. We have no control over the seasons. However, we do have control over ourselves and in my time of a lot of pain due to losses, multiple losses in recent time, and also changes in my life that I, quite frankly, welcomed but, at the same time, change can bring a sense of uncomfortability, because when you get out of the norm, you seem to want the change, but at the same time it's a little scary because we want to stay in what's familiar, in what we know, and when we are traveling a road that it's less traveled, it could be pretty scary. So if you're feeling any of this, if any of this is resonating with you, please continue to listen. It's absolutely a pleasure for me to share some tools that you can use. Okay, so my triple L method is a method that, like I said, I applied to myself and I know that it can be very useful for you. So continue listening so you can get the triple L All right.

Speaker 1: 4:24

So here we go L. The first L is to let it be right, let it be. Now, you may say that's easier said than done. I understand that. However, when we accept what has happened right, that it happens for us, there's a lesson right. Nothing is against us. It's actually going to teach us something. Sometimes chapters close so another new beginning can emerge. So in the first L, I want you to start practicing to letting things be right, let it be, and, as difficult as that may seem, I promise you that once you get accustomed to practicing this, regardless of the circumstance, especially when it's circumstances that are out of your control you will feel less stress. You will sleep better at night, trust me you will, and you will start noticing that you're more at peace.

Speaker 1: 5:25

Okay, so that first L is very important. Now the second L is let go. And again you may be saying, wow, you want me to accept something? Let it be something that I really don't reconcile with it. I don't like it, but it's out of your control. So the first let be, and now let go. Let go of those feelings that you may have about the circumstance that happened, because you can't go back and change it. Let go, maybe some of the expectations that you have, that you have for other people, right. Maybe you also have high expectations for yourself. So let go of some of this weight that keeps you confined and that keeps you in this state of anxiety, lack of sleep. It keeps you this that is bothering you so much and that you have not made peace with it, or possibly not only just making peace. You maybe are still believing and fantasizing that it could be different. The wish, right. You wish this person was kinder to you. You wish that this door opened up for you. You wish that maybe you, um, was able to conceive. You wish, right? You wish for more things, that and places to go, maybe, or it all depends where you're at, but you may be having a wishlist and as much as wish lists are so good to have and when we were little we always wrote a wish list to Santa and things like that but in reality, we need to understand that some things will never be and it's okay for us to let it go, okay. So that second L is very important. It's very important because it will help you to find your peace. It will help you to regain clarity and have this ability to make best with what you have right, with what life has dealt for you right, they say the card that you've been dealt. And that's important because we all in this lifetime will experience pain as much as also we experience pleasure. Actually, we experience sometimes more pain than pleasure, but it's all these emotions that we, as humans, we're here to experience. So I hope that you can take this opportunity to really examine and reflect. Where are you right now? What are you feeling and, more importantly, what are you going to do next? Right, what is going to be your next move? You're it. What is your next move going to be?

Speaker 1: 8:20

And the last L of my triple L method is love. You heard me. You heard me correctly it's love. And the reason for that is because love conquers all. Love is at the center of everything. Some may even say at the beginning of everything, but I want to say that love is at the core right Of your family life, of your own, love for yourself. And why love? Another reason is because love is such a powerful emotion. When you tap into love love for yourself, love for someone else, love for nature, love for someone else, love for nature, love for your work, love for your mission in life, love for the things that make you happy and that, then you also are able to be of service to someone else. And it's all done with kindness. That's all part of love. So when you're letting things be and accepting it in the first L and then you're working on letting go in the second L, the third is so important because it really sustains you. It really gives you that reason to believe in good people again, to believe that you can succeed. Love is at the core of everything. We need love. The world needs more love. You need love, I need love right.

Speaker 1: 9:48

And it's important to love because some of us, we go through periods in life, seasons at a time where, when we are upset with someone or ourselves or something, we sometimes become bitter, we sometimes become a little hard, our heart hardens and I know that a prayer for me. I always do the serenity prayer at the beginning of the morning and you don't have to practice a certain faith to even examine that prayer, the serenity prayer, because those words that are collectively together it's such a powerful statement to what I'm talking about that are collectively together. It's such a powerful statement to what I'm talking about. There's times that you have to surrender. You have to be serene and you have to have discernment to know when it's time to let go of something right or someone or a thing right that no longer serves you in a healthy way. And sometimes, when you let go, I'm not saying that you have to cut everybody you love out or anybody who's hurt you out, but it's to set those boundaries and to let go of the expectation that other people will change at your beat right, when in reality everybody is responsible for their own happiness Everyone is responsible for. When you're an adult, everybody's responsible for their actions. There's right, there's accountability there and you have to be very accountable. But if you find yourself that when you go through the first two letters, let be and let go, but you find yourself that you are not feeling that love, that maybe you've hardened yourself a little bit. That's where you got to do more work in the third step, in the third L right, because I want you to not lose the sense of what is love. What does love mean to you, right? What does love mean to you? How much do you love other people and are you allowing other people to love you back?

Speaker 1: 11:47

I've known so many clients that when I've met with them especially when I was doing marriage counseling with my clients or couples counseling, and I noticed that as they were talking about all the things that one another were doing that was not right and what they didn't like, they seem to have forgotten the love that brought them together. Right, and that doesn't mean for every couple or every person that are together. That doesn't mean you don't have to separate. I've actually known individuals that love themselves but they just can't live with each other. They just can't be a couple because they're so different or things changed over the course of years and they still have love for one another, but they understand that they are healthier apart than together and that's tough. That's a tough thing, but what's beautiful is when you can still conserve that love.

Speaker 1: 12:43

So to my point when I've done the counseling with couple couples, counseling with my clients, I've sometimes at some point in some of the sessions, the therapy sessions that I used to do before I'm not doing therapy now, but I would say to them okay, what did you love about so-and-so when you first met, or in the first year of your relationship, or the first few months, and then vice versa, for the other partner to say and something magical would always happen when they would focus on what they loved of what they love of one another, and that they still do. And then it became a for many couples. It became a little better for sessions to come forward, sessions to come that they were able to say you know what? Let me focus a little bit on the things that we have that are good and, and, in the name of this love that we've had, let's try to do our best to reconcile, to improve ourselves as individuals with this therapist to really give our best and continue the sessions openly to see where it gets us Right. And sometimes in therapy, couples have come to a point where they amicably have decided that they're going to separate or divorce. Not all therapies end in the couple right, reconciling or like what we talk about the living happily ever after in in all the movies. At the end they really sometimes with the help of the therapist and right they they discovered that this is no longer going to work because we're so different or whatever the reasons.

Speaker 1: 14:27

So I implore you to really look within to what do you love about yourself and what do you love about the people that are in your immediate circle, and also what do you love about your job, what do you love about the people that are in your immediate circle and also what do you love about your job, what do you love about the career you've chosen? What do you love about if you are a stay home mom or dad and you've chosen to stay home, and that's a job in itself, the most important job of the world and, and actually the most challenging, is when you're raising right your own kid. So it's important for you to practice these three L's in a way that is helpful for you and it's healthy for you. If you want to share it with someone else and do the work together with the triple L method, I think that's great. But always understand that you are in control of your own self-improvement right. You are in control of your happiness. No one can make you happy. People can add right and and treat you in a way that it that makes you feel right, happy. However, they're not responsible for that, because each individual is responsible for their own happiness.

Speaker 1: 15:37

And I remember when, many years ago, earlier on in my career, when I was studying psychology in undergrad and then when I did my master's in social work, I think that's when I really realized that I couldn't fix people. When I came out of high school and then I went to college, I had this innocence about myself. I can say I just thought I could save the world. I can anyone that come before me. I can help them to realize whatever they need to work on and I can help them with that, not to make them be like what I wanted, but to help them to improve. But I understood through the years being a social worker and working with so many families and individuals and clients, and as a coach, as well as a life empowerment coach, I realized that I can't fix anyone. People have to be willing to do the work and I can guide right. So a coach offers guidance, accountability, right, and a therapist offers right, a framework that you can also use and they help you process right your emotions and put a mirror up for you and help you in a healthy way to look at some right, some emotional wounds, some past trauma, and then to the present what's the present presenting problem that you're experiencing.

Speaker 1: 17:02

However, you still have to do the work. So I'm glad that you're listening to this podcast episode because I always have this intention when I record to really get topics that, one, I know they're relevant to you right. Two, that also I have an understanding of. And three, I always select topics that I know that they are going to resonate with this community at the Smiley Empowerment Community. Because I've gotten to know you so well and I'm still getting to know you and I, because I've gotten to know you so well and I'm still getting to know you and I hope you're getting to know me as well. And it's important to practice this method Now when you practice the triple L method, my triple L method, coach Smiley, when you practice this method, don't think it's going to happen overnight, because it's not something that's going to happen overnight.

Speaker 1: 17:58

However, I want you to understand that, little by little, you can go through the three L's, the three triple L method, and you can, little by little, build the muscle right. So we got to build muscle right. We have to build muscle one step at a time. So give yourself the grace, give yourself the opportunity to mess up a little bit and then get right back on it. Okay, it's important for you to know that you have done difficult things before, right? If you look at your life record up to now your track right, your life track, your life journey, as I like to say, you can see in the past that there were moments that you went through difficult moments and you didn't think that you can overcome them and you did so. It's so important for you to realize that you got the power within you, and I'm a person of faith, so I also believe in God, I pray and I'm spiritual and you don't have to have per se faith. I'm not going to impose that on anyone, but I can say that if you do practice faith or you believe in a higher power, right, it's important to meditate, to pray, right. And prayer are words, right, that are very positive, that they're statements right, of faith. And whether you practice a faith or not, it's important to examine how are you doing with your self-talk?

Speaker 1: 19:37

Many of us have negative self-talk on the go, and the most powerful thing that has control over us, that appears to have control over us, is our mind, right? Our thoughts, our thoughts lead to our feelings, which then again influence our behavior. Right. So, be mindful of your thoughts, and oftentimes you don't really pay attention to your thoughts. So I want you to notice what you are thinking. I want you to notice what are you noticing each day, right? Are you putting more focus on what's not working? Are you putting more focus on what you're not doing right, what someone else is not doing? Right? Are you putting more focus on what you're not doing right, what someone else is not doing right? Are you overworked? That's another thing. How are you pacing yourself with the triple L method Let be, let go and love.

Speaker 1: 20:29

That can apply to all areas of your life, all areas of your life. You can apply this because you may have to let be a certain relationship. You may have to then let it go once you process those feelings. It's not about not processing feelings. It's about not dwelling in those feelings, right, and then not becoming hard, right, not to harden your heart and have so much mistrust that you never love again or you never welcome love in your life. And I've known many people based on past traumas, whether it's in childhood, whether it was in their later adult years. In dating, they've become cold and bitter and I can understand that. I've had seasons where that happened in my life and I had to really work on myself and actually also be very connected to the higher source, to my God, and ask for strength to soften my heart. Right.

Speaker 1: 21:31

Some of us are saying, well, we got to get tougher skins. I understand that concept, but you have to be careful not to toughen your heart. And your heart communicates with your brain and the. But you have to be careful not to toughen your heart. And your heart communicates with your brain and the. Whatever you have here, harvard, in your heart, it communicates to the brain and that then makes you believe what you believe and act as you're going to act out and actually attract right, Because your energy level, your frequency level, if it's constantly in a low level frequency and energy wise then what you're really attracting to yourself is more of what you have challenges with and more things that are at that level right.

Speaker 1: 22:13

So if you're constantly criticizing yourself, hating yourself or hating others, jealousy, envy, all of that is low vibrational energy, right. And what happens is when you're submitting that energy because we do transmit the energy, just like the radio, when you're trying to get that freak, the right station right when you do that, what happens is you put out this energy right, even if you're not speaking out loud about it, but it attracts similar energies to you. So then you attract more people that also are feeling bitter with you, you know, and then you may do a whole pity party. I know I've done that years past, but I love the fact that I've been able to heal myself of so many, so many afflictions from before and been able to do the work and I've done work with you know, with therapy, with therapists. But I also have been able to apply to myself this triple L method, because I've done it and it's worked. I've shown it and taught it to my clients and now I'm sharing it with you guys. The secret is out, but if you allow yourself to practice the triple L method, you will see the changes, and I want you to journal it. You can start it today.

Speaker 1: 23:37

At the moment you're listening to this not if you're driving, be careful, but download this episode and go and binge on on on Smiley Empowerment on the podcast. Download a few episodes that interest you, go through the, the, the list of topics and binge, because this type of information, motivation, inspiration and guidance that I offer you can really play a big part in you making that mental shift right In you regaining yourself. What I mean by regaining yourself is because oftentimes we may feel disconnected from ourselves, and that is important. It's important to reconnect with our authentic self and be able to do the work and really work on our peace of mind and also work on what we're harboring in our heart as well. As. What are the things that you want right? What do you truly desire? What are the things that you're longing for? For how long you've been longing? Some of us have been years.

Speaker 1: 24:43

I remember when I had the dream, many, many decades ago, of doing my coaching business, of really working on being my own boss, and all of that. I remember that 10 plus years, my own boss and all of that. I remember that 10 plus years. I put that dream to rest. I put that dream not really even to rest. I gave up due to many different circumstances, and I don't want that to happen to you. I don't want you to lose that spark that you have within you. I want to ignite it and I hope that through this video that you're watching if you're watching the video, because I am recording on video, so if you're watching on video, it's great.

Speaker 1: 25:25

If you're listening on the podcast and you don't have the video but you're listening to the audio, I'm glad that you're listening as well, because it's important to open your ears, your heart, to information that is going to elevate you. So there's many folks out there, so that's why I am so grateful that you do spend time downloading my episodes and sharing my episodes. I'm so amazed that it's gone international. There's people in India and Africa, in Europe, right In Canada, in Puerto Rico, in Europe, right In Canada, in Puerto Rico. It's just amazing how I'm seeing so many people around the world that are listening to me and downloading. Please download the episodes. It just makes me feel so good to know that I am possibly making a difference in one person's life, in two people's lives. So it's important. It's so important. So please learn and process the triple L method.

Speaker 1: 26:25

I know that it's a method that seems simple, but it is work and it's trial and error and it's repetition to create mastery. Okay, so some people don't like to repeat Um, they don't like to repeat episodes, they don't like to have somebody repeat anything to them. But I have to say that in the repetition is the mastery. And if you notice many of the things that you, every year, you're putting on that list, right To say, okay, I want to change this this year. Notice how often that comes up. So, when you're saying I don't want to repeat this, I don't want to practice this again, notice how many things you still need work on. So repeating right Reading a book again for the second time, or a chapter again, or a few sentences that resonated, or rewinding a podcast episode to a particular segment and doing it over and over as you need it, there's nothing wrong with that right Because, like I said, repetition, right Creates mastery.

Speaker 1: 27:30

You can then master your emotions and talking about emotions with the triple L method, let be, let go and love. You're able to regulate a lot of your feelings and emotions, because it will allow you to accept and be able to surrender and let go through your own process and be able to love yourself again, give yourself grace and then give it to others. And when you live like that, with making peace with a lot of things that are happening in your life, then that regulates your sleep, and we do need sleep. Notice that when your sleeping patterns become regulated, you do better during the next day. You perform better, your mind is more clear, so you have mental clarity. You've your mood is way better, right.

Speaker 1: 28:21

But when you are sleep deprived because you're anxious, because sometimes you don't even know that you're thinking these things, but your, your, your mind is going um, um, it's just going so fast, right, saying different things, and most times it's negative thoughts. So you want to be intentional about the thoughts that you pay attention to and the ones you negative thoughts. So you want to be intentional about the thoughts that you pay attention to and the ones you don't. So the negative thoughts that are telling you that you're not smart enough, that this is never going to happen, who do you think you are. That's not going to happen. You're too much, you're too sensitive, you're too cold, whatever the thoughts are telling you, as well as people that are overly critical of you. I want you to not pay attention to that and replace it with positive language, right, supportive language to yourself and others.

Speaker 1: 29:09

Okay, so maybe you'll start saying I know, I know I can do difficult things because I've done it before. I know that I am stronger than I often think. I am strong, right? These are just statements that help you to keep you aligned with being optimistic and putting your best foot forward. They're really not statements that you are going to just say, oh, they're going to magically happen once I say it, it's just so magical one or twice. No, it's really you affirming that, because you're affirming something on a daily basis. So you may be affirming a lot of the negative thoughts that then give you these feelings that you don't like. And then you act out in those behaviors and those choices.

Speaker 1: 29:58

So many of us say, oh, I don't believe in affirmations, I don't believe in repeating the same statements over and over. But if you think about it, you're repeating the same negative thoughts over and over. And if you don't believe me, take an inventory for the next few days, without cheating and saying, oh no, I didn't think that. Just notice what you're noticing, notice what you're paying attention to, notice what are the thoughts that are coming in for you, and you will see that what I'm saying because it's not just me there's so many people, especially in neuroscientists, that have done so many studies on this, and neuro coaches that work on our brain and how the brain and the heart work together, and all of that which I love and I'm fascinated by.

Speaker 1: 30:41

But do the work, and that's another thing. Get curious about your life. Get curious, right, if I mentioned something here and you're like, oh, let me learn more about that, please reach out to me, let me know how you like this episode, let me know your thoughts on it. Download a few episodes so you can catch them later. You can binge later at a time. If you're traveling, you can listen to these episodes in your travel and your commute to work, and I hope that this triple L method helps you as much as it has helped me and as much as it has helped um many of my coaching clients.

Speaker 1: 31:21

Okay, so remember, let be, let go and love and give yourself the opportunity to heal. Give yourself time, give yourself the opportunity to regulate your emotions, because sometimes we're all over the place and when our and when we don't regulate our emotions, that gets the best of us and we make poor choices. Sometimes we are impulsive, sometimes we just don't do anything and we're paralyzed and we are struggling with procrastination, right. So the triple L method will help you to make better choices and to not procrastinate as much, because it will allow you, when you let be and you accept things as is. That doesn't mean you don't do something about it if you can, but if you cannot, just surrendering that right and then watch how things start changing. If you don't believe me, just practice. Practice it for a while and notice. Write things down, right. You could do voice notes to yourself or write down in the journal, right. Write down what are you feeling, what are you experiencing as you're practicing the triple L method, and you will see the difference. I know I've seen the difference tremendously. I know the clients that I've shared this with and they've applied and practice have given me great feedback as to that it was very helpful.

Speaker 1: 32:41

So this is something that I came upon through a lot of pain and suffering. I can say I laugh a little bit because not laugh, but just chuckle a little because it's a lot right. Sometimes you don't know what people go through, even those that look successful, or or it could be your teacher, your therapist right, your coach, but we're humans too, right? So the triple L method came from a lot of my moments that I fell and that I had to get right back up, and I often got support through therapy and friends. And then sometimes I didn't get support right, because you have to be ready for that and take that leap of like saying I'm going to reach out for help and there were times I didn't, when I should have. And I think that in those times I did do a lot of prayer and I understand that I know God covered me and helped me and so many other people that did offer support. But through that journey of healing for myself and making difficult choices, I discovered the triple L method, which is let be, let go, love. So I hope that you can practice and use this method and completely work on you making a difference for yourself first and then for others.

Speaker 1: 34:01

Okay, so I hope this episode helped you. I hope that you found it helpful. Thank you for tuning in, whether you were watching the video or listening on the podcast. Download the podcast.

Speaker 1: 34:20

Also, I'm going to be sharing a supportive link soon. I'm going to put a supportive link because I found that, as you know, if you've been following me, I quit my nine to five job to dedicate myself to really helping people all over the world and help people in coaching, virtually and in person. And when you're doing your entrepreneurship. I shout out to all the beginners entrepreneurship, you're not alone. You may know your craft for years, because I've known my craft for more than two decades. However, when you step into doing it for your own business, and you right and you incorporate, and all of that, as I did, and you're working in your own business, and you right and you incorporate, and all of that, as I did, and you're working in your own business, you you have to shift your mindset from career to entrepreneurship and that's not easy. So I will be putting a supportive link soon, once you see it.

Speaker 1: 35:09

Support me right, support the cause. And the cause is that I want to really continue to provide the services that I do.

What I mean is the podcast, there's expenses, there's expenses in so many other things and also my time, because this is all I do. So I implore you and thank you humbly that, if you have it in your heart that whenever you see the supportive link that you be a supporter of the Smiley Empowerment Podcast and the Smiley Empowerment Movement, and if you found value and I've been doing this now for a few years and I never asked for a supportive link, but I've been doing this now for a few years and I never asked for a supportive link but I think it's time for me to do that because I don't want to not continue to do the podcasting or showing up for for for you, and the supportive link is so helpful, so I will be putting that out.
