See how truly the podcast has made a positive impact in your life. And when you leave a review, it helps other goddesses discover the podcast too. So lately I have been feeling like everything I'm doing is kind of like the same routine. Like going through the same motions. I'm not sad, I'm not overly excited. It's just like blah. Waking up in the morning, getting ready for the day, working out, making my breakfast, getting ready, creating content, checking emails, doing whatever I need to do throughout the day, and just kind of like letting the day unfold on its own. And sometimes that can feel very blah. It could feel like you're not really doing anything extra or extraordinary. It feels like you just received only a cake with candles on. But you didn't get confetti. You didn't get the balloons, you didn't get the glitter, you didn't get the extra bells and whistles. You just kind of got the cake with the candles on top. And there's no get nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with that. But sometimes it feels bloss. Sometimes it feels like you're not doing anything at all extra exciting. And it can feel confusing because sometimes you're trying to figure out what that emotion is. Is this a sign? Is this a signal? Am I'm doing life right? Like if you're wondering that, at least I have felt that way before. And sometimes in between seasons I get that Feeling like, okay, I'm on the right path, am I'm doing life correct? You know, like am I'm showing up as my highest self or am I behind? Am I'm not doing enough? Should I be going this route instead? Should I take this opportunity instead? Or should I create this for myself instead? Like am I'm on this path that is driving me towards my desires closer? Or am I just spinning the wheel and I'm not going anywhere? If you have been feeling like this or been wondering, am I doing life right? This episode is for you. So what is like the blah phase? The blah face can feel no feel like low energy. It could feel like lack of ambition to do something. It could feel like no clear goals in sight. Like you have goals but you don't really have like a very clear vision of your goals. Like you may have a goal to travel more, but you don't really have like a breakdown, clear vision of the places you want to travel to. You just have like this, oh, I want to travel, but you don't really know like the places you want to travel, the hotel you want to stay at, the itinerary. You. Like you don't have a breakdown of that particular goal, right? Or it could just be like you're content but there's nothing exciting really going on. It's just meh. Like when someone checks up on you and say, hey, how have life been? Like, what's going on with you? Anything new and you're just like the same old, same old. I've definitely had that conversation with people and sometimes it could feel like you need to have like this over elaborate, exciting life to report back and share with people. But in all honesty, it's okay to not have anything extra exciting in the moment going on in your life. Like it's okay to normalize it. It's okay to say, you know what, I just been really taking time getting to know myself. I've been just really poured into me. I've been resting, I haven't really been going outside much. I just been really relaxing in my own space. Space and my quiet energy and my goddess energy. I've been organizing my home, I've been organizing my goals for myself and just kind of like writing down the vision that I want to create, but nothing too overly exciting. I just been really enjoying the pace that I'm at in life. That's okay. That's okay to normalize that part of your life and it's okay to own up and be like, you know what, there's Nothing exciting really going on right now in my life. I know with social media it's so easy to get online and look like everyone has exciting lives. And I know I probably portray that too, because I do have an exciting life. But I also do have those blah moments too. And life is about embracing every season in your life. It's not depression, it's not a burnout, it's just a blah.
Jasmine Rasko
It's just a plateau.
Co-host
It's just a rest. It's just a quiet moment, a quiet season. It doesn't mean that there's something negative going on in your life or it doesn't mean that you're not growing or you're not getting closer to your desires in life. It doesn't mean that you're not manifesting because you can manifest in the midst of a quiet season. You can manifest and attract everything in your life in a blah season, in a blob phase of your life, you can still manifest good things to happen to you. It's part of rest. Nature has many cycles in life. And in the midst of everything that's happening in your life, rest is the most important, important part of the process. Rest is so important because when you're resting, it's almost like, like working out, right? You can work out seven days a week, but if you don't have a rest day, you don't give your body time to recover, you don't give your muscles time to repair itself. So think about your personal life. If you're always on the go, if you're always going to this event, that event, if you're always traveling, if you're always spending, spending shopping, if you're always doing these fun, elaborate, over the top things, right? When are you going to take the time to rest and just sit with yourself and sit in stillness? If you're always chasing a goal, if you're always chasing a picture image of how you see yourself, when are you going to give yourself time to just sit in the midst of nothing? Because in those quiet moments of your life, you're giving yourself time to sit with your emotions. It's okay to be bored. Like sometimes I think people really do confuse peace, boredom with that. I think sometimes people feel like if there's no chaos, no excitement going on, then there's nothing to offer. But that's completely untrue. What have you outgrown that you haven't replaced yet? Let that question just kind of sit with you for a moment. What have you outgrown that you haven't replaced yet? Sometimes we want to be constantly busy and just like on lightning speed and getting closer to the extra bells and whistles that we want in life. But have you taken the time to rest and be in a ball off phase in your life to just sit and assess? Have you outgrown anything in this season? Yes, you may feel bored. Yes, you may not have this elaborate vacation plan for the summer, but maybe this is a season for you to analyze your life and see what have you outgrown that you haven't replaced yet. This is your season Goddess.

To really hone in your own energy. Sit still with your energy and rest and appreciate every aspect of your life. Appreciate the busy season and appreciate the slow season. A lot of times in business, summer is associated with the slow season and then like the holidays pick up. It's the busy season of the year. And a lot of times, like in Florida, the snowbirds, they leave and like the summertime, it's slow and everyone's like, oh, there's no traffic. That's because the snowbirds are gone, right? But it gets busy and it picks up into the fall and winter season. So like right now, this is kind of like considered the slow season in Florida. If you're from Florida, if you live in Florida, you know what I'm talking about. But if you're not, I'm just using this as an analogy. But sometimes in life we need those quiet stillness moments to sit and reflect back in our life. This is not a season of depression. This is not a season of burnout. This is just a normal season, okay? It's part of life, it's part of nature. It's part of sitting with yourself and assessing what areas of your life that you feel like you outgrown. Maybe it's an environment A person, clothes that's in your closet that you need to switch out and like change up. Maybe give away, donate. Right. Or list and sell whatever it is. Right. What areas of your life that you're realizing, okay, you know what? It's time to sit and reflect and see how I outgrown something and have I replaced it yet? Like, that's so important. If you're looking for ways to navigate the blah, the flat season, the season where it's not chaos, the season where it's not as busy, take this moment, take this time to stop looking for constant progress. Okay? Stop looking for constant updates and start tracking peace. Start tracking the peace you have in your life. That peace is so priceless. That peace is so valuable. It means everything. You're not bored. You're in your peaceful bliss state. You're in your peaceful goddess energy. You're in your pe Peaceful sitting with yourself, getting to know you, and you're at ease. You don't need drama in your life. That's why you feel like, wait, you feel left behind. You feel like you're not doing enough? No, you know what it is? You let go of people, places or things, whatever. You let go of things that don't serve you. You're at your most peaceful state right now. If your phone seems dry, that's probably because you're not getting the juicy gossip. You've probably let go of some people that they only call you when there's drama going on in their lives. They only pick up and call you when they want to share their traumas and they want to dump onto you. Yeah, this season, right now, it seems boring is seeing blah, blah. But guess what? You're at your most peaceful state of being because you have unsubscribed to the bs. You have unsubscribed to drama. You have unsubscribed to poverty. You have unsubscribed to people pleasing. You have unsubscribed to anyone who has ever doubted you. You have unsubscribed to gossip. You've unsubscribed to limit to beliefs. You have unsubscribed to negativity. All of that is not helping you evolve as a divine goddess. So in this season, you have cleared the board, you have cleared the path, and you're getting ready. You are getting ready. You are getting ready to go into your most divine state of being. You're preparing yourself and that requires rest. This is your blah phase. Yeah, but you're resting. You're resting in your own energy. And that is peace. That is ease. That is self trust. That looks like journaling. That looks like a full day at the spa. That looks like walking in nature. That looks like reading. More and less TV screen. That looks like meditation. That looks like eating. Healthier. You are in a season of peace. You're in a season of rest. You're in a season of self trust. And you are adapted and changing. And you're starting new habits without the pressure. You're starting new habits that serve you best. You have been prioritizing yourself all along. And I know it feels lonely because you have unsolicited, you have unsubscribed to anyone that has made you feel like you had to cater to them, cater to their needs. You're no longer doing that. You are only catering to your needs. And this is where people backtrack and sometimes slip up because it feels lonely. Your phone doesn't ring as much. Your notifications isn't going off as much because you haven't. You've been living your best life. Whether you realize it or not, you have been living your best life because you have peace. A lot of people don't have that. A lot of people thrive off of drama. A lot of people thrive off of negativity and you don't. You thrive off of peace. You thrive off of self assurance, self love, self motivating. And a lot of people aren't ready for that chapter in their life. So you left them behind. I have left those people behind. And let me tell you, that journey, in the beginning, it feels lonely. But you will meet people along the way on your path. When you are in alignment with the same energy, you will meet people along on your path that will mirror you back to where you're at in your journey. So in this blah season, stay true to your desires. Check in with your own body. Check in with your emotional state of being. Okay? Just because it doesn't look like growth, it doesn't mean it isn't growth. You are growing in this season. You are radiating. You are making the best decision you can ever make. And you are where you're meant to be at in life. Okay? And these are the signs that you're actually okay. You're on the right path. You stop tolerating things that you used to. You feel more self aware. Even if you're confused, you still feel self aware where you're at in life. Okay? You crave more, which means that your soul is waking it up. You crave more and the Universe yields to those cravings. Okay, so you are craving more this season. Maybe you're craving true friendship. You could be craving more income. You could be creating a beautiful trip, vacation, all of those things you could be craving. Okay, that means you're ready for those things you could be craving A relationship, a new job, new business. Okay, that's a good sign. You're still here. You're still searching. That matters. You're doing some soul searching. So I want you to reassure yourself today. This is your sign. This is your sign. If you're still listening to this episode, this was meant for you. I want you to reassure yourself that right now, this isn't your forever. It's a hallway. It's not a dead end. Okay? You're not at the end of your luck. You're not at the end of your manifestations. Okay? There's more to where that came from. There's more abundance. You are not behind. You're in a season of rest. You're in between. You're in between. And that's part of your story, Goddess. So what's one quiet truth you're realizing in this season? I'll repeat that. What's one quiet truth you're realizing in this season? And I'll give you guys a moment to think about this. And I want to share with you what's a quiet truth that I'm realizing in my season of rest, in my season of just sitting with my own energy, I am realizing the inner work does not stop. Even though you may not have the people who you think in your life clapping for you, even though you may not see a dramatic result, I'm still evolving. I'm still growing. I'm still reaching those goals and desires. Even when I decide to rest and reflect, I'm not behind. I'm not behind. And you're never behind in life. That's what I've realized in this season. I know I share my stories with you guys. I share my traveling, the luxury, all of that. That's beautiful. But at the end of the day, that doesn't make me. That doesn't define me. That is defined, Jaz. I, at the end of the day, I sit with my own self and I reflect. And I look at the life that I am creating and I say to myself, do I love this life? Do I still have that desire, that thirst for this life that I have been creating on this platform? If I still do, then I'm on the right track. But if I don't have that desire and thirst or craving for it, what I'm doing right now. Then it's time to get back to the drawing board. It's time to like reevaluate things. So take a moment, sit with yourself, enjoy the journey, okay? And just ask like, what are you realizing for yourself in this season that you desire? Do you still desire those same things? Do you still crave the people in your life? If it doesn't serve you, let it go. If the relationship doesn't serve you, let it go. If the friendship doesn't serve you, let it go. If the career doesn't serve you, change, change it up. You can change. You, you are able and capable of changing. Just take a moment and reflect in this season, okay? Remember to be kind and gentle with yourself. I want to leave you with an affirmation that you can repeat throughout the day. Place your hand over your heart and just take a deep breath and breathe. And repeat this affirmation after me. I am not behind. I am right on time. I am not behind. I am right on time. I am not behind. I am right on time. Goddess, you are never behind, okay? The blah phase. When life feels flat, you're not failing in life. You're actually resting. You're actually in your goddess energy. You're actually securing your self awareness within yourself. You're actually recovering, you're actually healing, you're actually adapting. You're actually becoming more sure of yourself. You're actually preparing for the future, for your, for the next stop, the next step phase, the next season. So don't feel like you're behind, okay? Just because you don't have a ton of people reaching out to you and want to meet up and want to do this, or you're not going on these elaborate trips and vacations or you don't have your emails are not blowing up or you don't have like this promotion coming in yet. That doesn't mean that you're not on the right path.

Okay, that doesn't mean that you're behind. It just means that you are right on time. And use this season. Use this opportunity to reflect. Use this time to just sit with your thoughts and re assess where you're at in your life. Okay? And see. Have you outgrown anything that you haven't replaced yet? Sometimes when things are just blah and it's not an overly exciting current season, it might be time for you to replace some things. Replace the ways that you approach your perspective in life. Okay? So take this time to honor your true divine self. Take this time to pour beautiful, beautiful thoughts into yourself. Plant those seeds. Plant those seeds, Goddess. And don't fall into other people's narratives, okay? Don't become a character in someone's drama. I don't know who this is meant for, but if you feel like your life is just so blah and it's like there's nothing overly exciting going on and then all of a sudden you. You start submerging yourself into other people's drama because you need some excitement. You need. You feel so bored. Like, don't fall into that because that actually stunts your own growth. It actually stunts where you actually starts to change the thoughts, the patterns that you have for yourself. You start to look at other people's life and become a character in their life when you are the main character. So don't subscribe to people's drama. Don't become a people pleaser. Don't start overextending and becoming extra nice to have a friend. Don't let people use you. You want to feel value. Pour into yourself. You want to feel love? Pour love into yourself. Okay? You want some excitement? Take a look in the mirror. Make yourself up and find something exciting to do. An activity that supports your desires, okay? Become the best version of yourself by pouring into yourself. Don't pour into others first. Pour into yourself first. Don't save other people first out of their misery. No. A lot of times when you are at this state of just you're at ease.

You do attract people who don't feel that within themselves. You attract people who have chaos and misery going on in their lives. It's not your job to serve them. It's not your job to get them out of their misery or chaos. Your job is to focus on your own inner being. Your job is to become the best version for yourself. Lead by example, but don't hold someone's hand and help them out of their misery, because they will pull you in.

Misery and you will find yourself in the middle, in the center of, of their chaos. And that's not a state that you want to be in. Goddess. Okay, so I know a lot of times when we feel like it's blah, nothing exciting is going on, I feel like I should be doing more. I feel like I'm not getting everything that I desire. No, you are getting everything that you desire. And you're on the right path. You're right on time. This is just your season to rest. This is your season to just honor yourself at look at everything that you have been doing leading up to this very moment. You prayed. You've prayed yourself out of some dark times in life. Okay.

Habits of A Goddess: Episode Summary - "The Blaaah Phase: When Life Feels Flat but You're Not Failing"
Podcast Information
Introduction to the Blah Phase In this empowering episode, host Jasmine Rasco and her co-host delve into the often-overlooked "blah" phase—a period in life where everything feels flat and monotonous, yet it's not a sign of failure. The discussion aims to normalize these quiet moments, emphasizing their role in personal growth and self-discovery.
Defining the Blah Phase The co-host begins by describing the "blah" phase as a time when daily routines become repetitive and lack excitement. "I've definitely had that conversation with people and sometimes it could feel like you need to have like this over elaborate, exciting life to report back and share with people," she shares ([07:00]). This sentiment captures the essence of feeling stuck in a routine without meaningful progress, leading to questions about one's path and purpose.
Embracing the Blah Phase Jasmine reinforces that experiencing a "blah" phase is entirely normal. She states, "It's okay to normalize that part of your life and it's okay to own up and be like, you know what, there's Nothing exciting really going on right now in my life" ([08:30]). The discussion highlights that this phase isn't indicative of failure but rather a necessary period of rest and recalibration. Drawing an analogy to muscle recovery, Jasmine explains, "When you're always on the go... when are you going to give yourself time to just sit in the midst of nothing?" ([10:15]).
Self-Reflection and Personal Growth A significant portion of the episode focuses on using the "blah" phase for self-reflection and personal growth. The co-host poses a crucial question: "What have you outgrown that you haven't replaced yet?" ([11:00]). This introspection encourages listeners to evaluate areas of their lives that may no longer serve them, whether it's toxic relationships, stagnant careers, or unfulfilling routines. By identifying and letting go of these elements, women can create space for new opportunities and align their lives with their true desires.
Reassurance and Affirmations Throughout the episode, Jasmine and her co-host provide reassurance to listeners, affirming that feeling flat doesn't mean they're behind or failing. Jasmine offers a powerful affirmation: "I am not behind. I am right on time. I am not behind. I am right on time" ([27:30]). This affirmation serves as a comforting reminder that everyone's journey is unique and progresses at its own pace.
Practical Steps for Navigating the Blah Phase The hosts provide actionable advice for embracing and navigating the "blah" phase:
Jasmine emphasizes, "Even when I decide to rest and reflect, I'm not behind. I'm still evolving. I'm still growing" ([33:00]). This perspective shifts the narrative from viewing the blah phase as a setback to seeing it as an integral part of growth.
Staying True to Your Path The episode underscores the importance of staying true to one's path during quiet times. The co-host advises against succumbing to others' expectations or societal pressures for constant progress. Instead, listeners are encouraged to honor their own journeys and cultivate self-trust. "You're at your most peaceful state right now because you have unsubscribed to the bs," she notes ([34:00]).
Conclusion and Final Thoughts In wrapping up, Jasmine and her co-host reaffirm that the blah phase is a natural and beneficial part of life's cycles. They encourage listeners to embrace this period as a time of rest, reflection, and preparation for future growth. The episode concludes with an invitation to leave a five-star review and connect with the community on Instagram, fostering a supportive environment for ongoing personal development.
