Melissa Deally:

Imagine getting up every day full of energy is

Melissa Deally:

if you were in your 20s. Again, what would that be? Like?

Melissa Deally:

What would that be worth to

Melissa Deally:

you? What is your health worth to you? Think about it. Your

Melissa Deally:

health isn't everything. But without it, everything else is

Melissa Deally:

nothing. And yet too many of us are taking it for granted until

Melissa Deally:

something goes wrong. No one wakes up hoping to be diagnosed

Melissa Deally:

with a disease or chronic illness. And yet, we've never

Melissa Deally:

been taught how to be proactive in our health through our school

Melissa Deally:

system, or public health. As a registered health coach and

Melissa Deally:

integrative health practitioner, I believe it is time this

Melissa Deally:

information is made available to everyone. Combining new

Melissa Deally:

knowledge around your health and the ability to do my functional

Melissa Deally:

medicine lab tests in the comfort of your own home will

Melissa Deally:

allow you to optimize your health for today and all your

Melissa Deally:

tomorrow's don't wait for your wakeup call.

Melissa Deally:

Welcome back to the don't wait for your wake up call. I am your

Melissa Deally:

host, Melissa de Li and super excited to be launching a

Melissa Deally:

another theme this month. February is the month of love.

Melissa Deally:

And some say money makes the world go around. But I would

Melissa Deally:

love to see us get to a place where love makes the world go

Melissa Deally:

around. Because as humans, our deepest emotional need is the

Melissa Deally:

need to feel love. So I want to ask you to just stop and close

Melissa Deally:

your eyes. Unless of course you're driving. And think for a

Melissa Deally:

moment. What does the word love mean to you. And then think

Melissa Deally:

about how does love feel to you think back to that first kiss

Melissa Deally:

that feeling of floating the pitter patter of your heart, the

Melissa Deally:

melting of your insides, the bursting heart, the smile on

Melissa Deally:

your face, the warmth that spreads throughout your body. Or

Melissa Deally:

maybe it's not even a romantic kiss. Maybe it's that first kiss

Melissa Deally:

of your newborn. For the first time your newborn baby looks

Melissa Deally:

into your aisle eyes and smiles at you with love in their eyes.

Melissa Deally:

We feel all those same chemical responses in the body. Right

Melissa Deally:

regardless of what type of love it is. It's it's just maybe

Melissa Deally:

stronger in some forms than others. But the body is

Melissa Deally:

responding chemically. And love is one of the highest levels of

Melissa Deally:

emotions. And it comes with a lightness in our being right we

Melissa Deally:

feel light, airy, like almost like we're walking on air. And

Melissa Deally:

above love are in fact joy and then peace. Below love are many

Melissa Deally:

other emotions, which you will notice get heavier as we move

Melissa Deally:

down the list. And if we go right towards the bottom of the

Melissa Deally:

list, we're going to find emotions like anger, fear,

Melissa Deally:

grief, guilt, and shame is at the very bottom of that list.

Melissa Deally:

There are other emotions in between. But I really wanted to

Melissa Deally:

highlight these heavy, heavier emotions for you at the bottom

Melissa Deally:

of the list knowing that you would understand that heaviness

Melissa Deally:

that comes with them that feeling in your body of being

Melissa Deally:

weighed down, bogged down, we are all energy and these

Melissa Deally:

emotions are energies too. And when we carry around heavy

Melissa Deally:

energies, it truly does weigh us down, we can feel like we have

Melissa Deally:

the weight of the world on our shoulders. But when we instead

Melissa Deally:

enjoy and live in a place of the lighter emotions of love and joy

Melissa Deally:

and peace, we feel lighter as if we are walking on air. So how do

Melissa Deally:

we move from one end of that spectrum to the other? Well,

Melissa Deally:

that's life's journey, right? And all along the way we get to

Melissa Deally:

make choices. And when we understand this, we can be

Melissa Deally:

making better choices as we can put our decisions through the

Melissa Deally:

filter of these lighter emotions and ask ourselves questions such

Melissa Deally:

as, how would I respond if I were responding from a place of

Melissa Deally:

love rather than judgment, dislike or disapproval? How can

Melissa Deally:

I approach this from a place of love? Even difficult situations

Melissa Deally:

can be approached With love. What does it mean to me right

Melissa Deally:

now to approach this from love, not fear, or anger. And all of

Melissa Deally:

this takes practice, right. And it just starts with awareness

Melissa Deally:

that you can do this, that before you respond to a

Melissa Deally:

situation, you can stop and just do a little check in and ask

Melissa Deally:

these questions of yourself. And sometimes it can feel really

Melissa Deally:

hard to approach situations from a place of love. Because those

Melissa Deally:

heavier emotions are getting in the way, the anger, the feelings

Melissa Deally:

of being unfairly treated, judged or hurt, or because of

Melissa Deally:

past history of feeling, unjustly treated by others in

Melissa Deally:

general. This happens in family relationships a lot. And perhaps

Melissa Deally:

you've experienced this when it comes to family holiday

Melissa Deally:

gatherings, you maybe you're wary of attending because you

Melissa Deally:

don't want to see that someone who triggers you.

Melissa Deally:

And you know, they will, because they always say something that

Melissa Deally:

gets under your skin. And so that makes avoidance one easy

Melissa Deally:

option, right. And many people want to avoid those scenarios,

Melissa Deally:

or you go but you go with your backup or you go and you don't

Melissa Deally:

really want to be there. And so we can start to turn that

Melissa Deally:

around. If you're enjoying my content, and someone that wants

Melissa Deally:

to step into being proactive in your health and learning more,

Unknown:

I would love to invite you to join my membership

Unknown:

community.

Melissa Deally:

There's a link in the show notes for only 1999

Melissa Deally:

a month, you get access to all of my content. And there's a lot

Melissa Deally:

as well as weekly calls that you can come and get your health

Melissa Deally:

questions answered.

Unknown:

It's truly priceless. I'd love to see you join the

Unknown:

community,

Melissa Deally:

check out the link in the show notes. So there

Melissa Deally:

are a few steps that you can take here to help you stay in

Melissa Deally:

alignment with choosing love first. And that first one is

Melissa Deally:

forgiveness. Now before you react and think why should I

Melissa Deally:

forgive them, they hurt me, I didn't do anything, this is all

Melissa Deally:

their fault. I want you to be open to the fact that

Melissa Deally:

forgiveness is the key to liberation from being a victim.

Melissa Deally:

Let's say that again. Forgiveness is the key to

Melissa Deally:

liberation from being a victim. It doesn't make the other person

Melissa Deally:

right. It doesn't condone their behavior. What it does is it

Melissa Deally:

puts you back in control of your thoughts and feelings and it

Melissa Deally:

frees you from the imprisonment of the pain. This is a choice

Melissa Deally:

that allows you to move forward. Very often we carry these

Melissa Deally:

painful experiences with us. And the only person that impacts is

Melissa Deally:

ourselves. The other person doesn't even realize that

Melissa Deally:

they've heard us or that we are still harboring the pain.

Melissa Deally:

They've moved on with their lives. But we are stuck in this

Melissa Deally:

place carrying the pain, resentment avoiding the person

Melissa Deally:

and more. But when we forgive, we free ourselves from all of

Melissa Deally:

that, to live our life from a place of love. The second idea

Melissa Deally:

is to dawn your love bra or love cape for attending events where

Melissa Deally:

you know, there'll be somebody who triggers you, I love this

Melissa Deally:

one. The idea is that prior to going to a family event of some

Melissa Deally:

sort where you know, you will see someone who triggers you,

Melissa Deally:

you put on your imaginary bright red love bra, or your bright red

Melissa Deally:

love cape. And this is super powerful as this bra or Cape

Melissa Deally:

will protect you. You see, only love can enter your body through

Melissa Deally:

this protective layer. It repels all other emotions back out away

Melissa Deally:

from you. And only love can come out of your body via this love

Melissa Deally:

bra and cape. It definitely takes some practice it is a bit

Melissa Deally:

of a mindset shift. But when you go to the event wearing your

Melissa Deally:

love bra or your cape with that conscious thought that I will

Melissa Deally:

only allow love in and I will only allow love out. It makes a

Melissa Deally:

huge difference in how you can show up at the event. So, as I

Melissa Deally:

said it takes some practice, but it really does allow you to

Melissa Deally:

focus on what is important in the moment, which is love and to

Melissa Deally:

shine that out to me those around you to not only accept

Melissa Deally:

love in, but allow the love out to all of those around you. I've

Melissa Deally:

had many clients Dawn their love bras and capes before family

Melissa Deally:

weddings and head their bravely and report back that the event

Melissa Deally:

went so much more smoothly than expected. And they enjoyed it

Melissa Deally:

more than they thought they would. As a result. I even had a

Melissa Deally:

client one time who told me that she used this over zoom, talking

Melissa Deally:

to her in laws with her partner. And she had always found that

Melissa Deally:

her in laws were so critical of her partner. And she was just

Melissa Deally:

kind of tired of it. And she thought you know what I'm going

Melissa Deally:

to wear my love brought the Zoom meeting. And I'm only going to

Melissa Deally:

get let love in and only let love go out towards them. And

Melissa Deally:

when they started being critical, she just focused on,

Melissa Deally:

I'm sending them love, I'm sending them love, I'm sending

Melissa Deally:

them love. And she said it was fascinating because his mum just

Melissa Deally:

kind of suddenly stopped mid sentence in the middle of being

Melissa Deally:

critical. And kind of shook her head a little bit and change the

Melissa Deally:

subject to something a whole lot more positive. And she was just

Melissa Deally:

blown away. That even over zoom with her focusing on I'm sending

Melissa Deally:

them love and sending them love that somehow the mum picked up

Melissa Deally:

on that enough to stop the criticism, change the subject

Melissa Deally:

into something much more positive. So this is powerful.

Melissa Deally:

When we send love out into the world, the world can receive it.

Melissa Deally:

And it can shift how people respond to you. Because you are

Melissa Deally:

sending them love.

Melissa Deally:

Avoidance of issues, and avoiding people that trigger us

Melissa Deally:

just has us carrying around heavier emotions for longer

Melissa Deally:

bogging down our physical being draining our energy levels, and

Melissa Deally:

weakening our immune system to almost squash down emotions

Melissa Deally:

really do weaken our immune system. And so we have to

Melissa Deally:

instead allow our body to process them and release them.

Melissa Deally:

And that forgiveness piece is so important for anything that's

Melissa Deally:

been harbored before. And then for anything new, when we choose

Melissa Deally:

that place of love. We can in mentally also allow for the

Melissa Deally:

emotions to be processed, and released. Emotions moving

Melissa Deally:

through our body move through as a chemical reaction in less than

Melissa Deally:

90 seconds is what we choose to do with those emotions that can

Melissa Deally:

get them stuck. So we can be focusing on it so much that the

Melissa Deally:

chemical reaction has long since ended. But we hold on to the

Melissa Deally:

memory and squash it down. Or we can release it and say I'm going

Melissa Deally:

to choose to still show them love even though this is how

Melissa Deally:

they made me feel. I'm going to forgive them for that. Maybe

Melissa Deally:

it's having a conversation with them around. This is how it made

Melissa Deally:

me feel I'm sure you didn't mean it that way. So I must have

Melissa Deally:

misunderstood you. Maybe that's also a conversation that can be

Melissa Deally:

had, right? When we can address this from a place of love, or

Melissa Deally:

release people through forgiveness, or both, we can

Melissa Deally:

elevate ourselves to a higher energy level. And in doing so we

Melissa Deally:

feel lighter, calmer, and happier in the process. And the

Melissa Deally:

more we practice this, the more people we draw into our circle,

Melissa Deally:

that are functioning at that same high energy level, focusing

Melissa Deally:

on love, which expands our love circle. And it expands it

Melissa Deally:

exponentially and results in us living a happier, more joyful

Melissa Deally:

life. Love truly can make the world go around. As we continue

Melissa Deally:

to expand our circle and the natural ripple effect that

Melissa Deally:

happens as a result. As Tony Robbins says, energy flows where

Melissa Deally:

attention goes. So when we focus on love, the energy of love

Melissa Deally:

expands and flows in our life. And then you get to feel those

Melissa Deally:

light happy, warm, joyful feelings all the time.

Melissa Deally:

So now that you understand the energies of love, let's talk

Melissa Deally:

about the love languages. As these matter in how you relate

Melissa Deally:

Build relationships, relationships with those you

Melissa Deally:

love the most. So this is the work of Gary Chapman. For those

Melissa Deally:

of you watching on YouTube, I'm holding up his book here. It's

Melissa Deally:

called The Five Love Languages. And the five love languages are

Melissa Deally:

words of affirmation, or quality time, or receiving gifts, or

Melissa Deally:

acts of service, or physical touch. So, we all have some of

Melissa Deally:

these within us, you might be thinking, My like words of

Melissa Deally:

affirmation, but I also like receiving gifts. Or maybe you're

Melissa Deally:

the person that says I love physical touch. And I like

Melissa Deally:

quality time, right? So you can definitely be more than one you

Melissa Deally:

can have several of these types of love languages within you.

Melissa Deally:

But you generally have one primary language and

Melissa Deally:

understanding your own primary language. And that of your

Melissa Deally:

partner is very helpful, because your partner's love language

Melissa Deally:

might be completely different to yours. And if you're showing

Melissa Deally:

your love for them, based on your own love language, it may

Melissa Deally:

not be as meaningful to them. For instance, if you love

Melissa Deally:

receiving gifts, but they want words of affirmation, and you're

Melissa Deally:

buying them gifts, that's not speaking to them in their love

Melissa Deally:

language, right. And so understanding this is really,

Melissa Deally:

really important. Someone else might be have acts of service as

Melissa Deally:

number one on their list. And yours is receiving gifts, and

Melissa Deally:

you're giving them gifts, really, they would just much

Melissa Deally:

rather help with laundry and the dishes, right the acts of

Melissa Deally:

service. So this is really powerful information to have and

Melissa Deally:

to understand because of course, we all come from different

Melissa Deally:

backgrounds and our love languages are impacted by how we

Melissa Deally:

were raised as children. And it doesn't just relate to romantic

Melissa Deally:

partners either, but it does relate to your relationships

Melissa Deally:

with your kids, even friends, colleagues, etc. And so I'll put

Melissa Deally:

a link in the show notes so that you can go online and do the

Melissa Deally:

quiz from the book in order to determine the love languages of

Melissa Deally:

your whole family. So have fun discovering your love languages,

Melissa Deally:

donning your love bra or your love cape, and finding every

Melissa Deally:

opportunity to lead with your heart and come from a place of

Melissa Deally:

love, lightness, happiness and joy. On my next show, I'm

Melissa Deally:

interviewing a relationship expert as we dive into romantic

Melissa Deally:

love. So until next time, I'm sending you love. And thank you

Melissa Deally:

very much for listening.

About the Podcast

Don't Wait For Your Wake Up Call!
with Melissa Deally, Integrative Health Practitioner
As an Integrative Health Practitioner I have come to realize that we simply haven't been taught how to optimize our health, and that the average person has habits that are negatively impacting their health, due to this lack of knowledge, through no fault of their own. Public health and our school system simply don't teach us enough about nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health or how interconnected our bodies are! Modern life has us more sleep deprived, stressed out and the sickest ever, and I believe it is time to bring this education to you, so that you CAN be empowered in your health and you can then make the right choices for you and your family. The choices you make today impact your future 1 year, 5 years, 10 years + from now. It is never too early to start looking after your health, as Health is your TRUE wealth....without it what do you have?
