001 Hey Bruh, Do You Even Theme_.mp3
Kayla Rain [00:00:35] Hi there, I'm your host, Kayla Rain, and welcome to Attract It With EASE. This podcast is all about the Law of Attraction, but it's not like most other podcasts out there. This is a conversation between me and my sister, Adria Sha. We talk about what's working and what's not working in life. I have studied the Law of Attraction for over 15 years and Adria, she is kind of a newbie on the topic. So we break it down in simple terms. How does it work? What are the tricks? Are there any secrets? What lessons have we learned? And we have some pretty funny stories to share. We laugh, we have fun, and at the end of every episode, we share an action item that you can implement today - so that you can start living your happily ever after and you can make the Law of Attraction work for you. So if you want to feel good, if you want a better vision for tomorrow, join us. Let's get started.
Kayla Rain [00:01:57] Hey, guys, I'm your host, Kayla Rain.
Adria Sha [00:01:59] I'm Adria Sha.
Kayla Rain [00:02:01] She's my sister and Adria, this is our first episode!
Adria Sha [00:02:06] I'm so excited!
Kayla Rain [00:02:08] So we've gone from talking about doing a podcast to actually doing a podcast, and this is super exciting. So our podcast obviously is Attract It With Ease. And the topic of every episode is going to be the Law of Attraction. And we're so anxious to get going on that. But as we've talked in the past, a big piece of the Law of Attraction is focusing on gratitude, being grateful for what we have right now. So I think a great place to get started today is let's talk about our gratitude. Adria, what are you thankful for today?
Adria Sha [00:02:43] I am so grateful to be here with you in snowy Reno, Nevada. I'm grateful the recording equipment works. We figured out how to, how to do it!
Kayla Rain [00:02:53] I know, just figuring out how to plug and play a microphone, you guys, if you've never done it, we stumbled through it, but yes, we figured it out. Anything else you're grateful for today?
Adria Sha [00:03:05] My gosh, I'm just grateful for family. I'm grateful for the opportunity to do this with you and spend more time with my sister.
Kayla Rain [00:03:11] Oh, my goodness, I'm grateful for all of those same things, too. I just think that being able to share a topic that we're passionate about, learn from each other and meet other people. I'm just grateful for the opportunity to be in front of whoever's listening to this right now. So...
Adria Sha [00:03:32] So I'm grateful for our listeners.
Kayla Rain [00:03:34] There you go! We're all ready, well hopefully somebody is listening. Hopefully you're out there and you're listening.
Adria Sha [00:03:39] We are grateful for you.
Kayla Rain [00:03:41] So we intentionally planned our release of the podcast to come out in January of 2021 And our thoughts on that were that. Let's be honest, 2020 was not our best year. It wasn't a good year really for anyone. And we think you would agree, meaning the listeners, we think you'd agree that nobody really wants to repeat 2020. And although some of the things in 2021 are going to be exactly the same, we really feel like this is a year that you can take control of your life, you can make things happen for you. And we're excited to launch in January so that we can get started off on the right foot, give you some quick action items, easy, fun things that you can do to implement and make the Law of Attraction really work to your benefit in 2021. So I think that takes us into our topic for today's episode. And Adria what I want to talk about today is coming up with a personal theme for the year.
Adria Sha [00:04:43] Kayla, tell me why. What is the the reasoning behind having a theme for the year?
Kayla Rain [00:04:50] Oh my gosh, why wouldn't you want a theme? If you don't have a direction, how do you know if you're going to end up where you want to end up? If you don't pull out a map and map things out, come up with a plan, figure out where you're headed. If you just get in the car and start driving, who knows where you're going to go? Right?
Adria Sha [00:05:10] To Starbucks.
Kayla Rain [00:05:14] Everybody catch that? Adria is going to Starbucks. So we can put that in our plan. But I don't know that the theme of your year should be Starbucks unless you own Starbucks. So let's talk about what a theme for the year looks like. So coming up with a personal theme is literally coming up with one single word, that represents what you would like your year to look like. And Adria, you know what's interesting? I don't know if you remember, but this whole concept I was introduced to from you. Do you remember telling me about that?
Adria Sha [00:05:46] I don't remember telling you about it. I, I do remember hearing about the concept a few years ago and it really resonated with me. To the idea of choosing one word that represents what you want to accomplish during a year.
Kayla Rain [00:05:58] So I think it was probably about three, maybe even four years ago that Adria introduced me to the idea of coming up with a theme for yourself for the whole year. And she had talked about it a few months prior to the New Year. And and we talked about, you know, whether or not each of us I say each of us, we have several sisters. As sisters we discussed whether or not we wanted to do personal New Year's resolutions, kind of how we were approaching the coming year. And Adria talked about, "You know, I heard this idea of just coming up with one word, just keeping it simple, just finding one word that represents what you want your year to look like." And so Adria, I don't know if you remember, and I don't mean to put you on the spot, but do you remember any of the themes that you've had in prior years?
Adria Sha [00:06:47] I can remember a couple. A few years ago, my word was TRUTH, because I was at a point in my life where I found it really hard to say no to people when they made requests of me. And I wanted to stay true to myself and only agree to things which aligned with my values and my goals for myself. There was another year that my word was YOLO because I was feeling I was feeling...
Kayla Rain [00:07:17] Wait! Is YOLO a word?
Adria Sha [00:07:18] It is. It is the word.
Kayla Rain [00:07:20] Is it in the dictionary?
Adria Sha [00:07:21] It's in my.. I'm sure it's an urban dictionary dot com. So it's definitely a word. And it helped me to say yes to things that I was a little bit afraid to do. So it was perfect for the year.
Kayla Rain [00:07:33] So Adria, I think the year that I first chose a word, the word that I picked was fulfilled. And that may seem like a strange word, but I really had a hard time identifying what I wanted. I just wanted to feel good. I knew that really what I wanted my year to look like was I just wanted more of all the good things, all the good stuff. And I thought, I don't want to pinpoint it on one single thing. If I just get more of all the good stuff, then I'll feel fulfilled. And that was my word for that year. I know that some people like Tara, our sister Tara, she's going to die. We're calling her out: tara, we're calling you out!
Adria Sha [00:08:16] You're famous now!
Kayla Rain [00:08:16] Tara's word a few years ago was BLOOM, and I loved that word. She just wanted to blossom and grow and bloom and just become more of who she felt she was. And so when choosing a theme or a word for your theme for the year, it really can be anything. Adria do you? Oh, I guess I do know... I was going to say, do you have a theme for this year? I won't make Adria tell us what her theme is for this year. But Adria, can you guess what my theme was this year?
Adria Sha [00:08:50] No. I can't, I'm racking my brain! Was it ABUNDANCE?
Kayla Rain [00:08:55] No, it was not, but that's a great one. Abundance would be a good a good theme. My theme this year was EASE. And the reason that it was EASE is because I really believe that one of the keys to making things happen for you and one of the keys to implementing all the pieces of the Law of Attraction is to just be easy about it. But truthfully, not even knowing what the year 2020 would look like, not knowing that it was going to be so crazy and so different and so uncertain. It was just something that I wanted this year. I wanted peace. I wanted less stress. I wanted to be calm. I wanted to just kind of go throughout the year being easy about whatever happened. And it's so funny that that was my word this year, because I will tell you that I, like everybody else I've gone through a lot! I lost a job early in the year. I went through some time unemployed. And I don't know that if I hadn't gone into the year with the concept of "I'm going to just be OK with whatever happens", I don't know if I really would have been prepared to handle all of the things that 2020 has brought me. What has this year look like for you Adria?
Adria Sha [00:10:07] I saw this meme which made me laugh.
Kayla Rain [00:10:10] OK, let's hear it.
Adria Sha [00:10:11] It said 2020 was bad, but it was still better than my first marriage. I don't know if that's true. I don't know if that's true for everybody or anybody else, but it kind of sums up the way 2020...
Kayla Rain [00:10:27] I love it! I love it! So as we're talking about choosing a theme for 2021, our thoughts are take some time to sit down and really identify, number one: What? What was missing in 2020? Obviously, we had businesses that were closed, we missed our families and our friends, we had to social distance. There were a lot of those pieces. But if you took all of that away, what are the other things that were missing in 21? In 2020 excuse me, not 2021 that you would like to see come about. Is it that you feel like you didn't have enough fun activities? Did you feel like you weren't financially stable? Did you feel like you were unhappy with your job or you weren't at ease? Maybe you were stressed, maybe you've been feeling nervous and uncertain about the future. What are the things that you would like to see change, that you actually can control in the year 2021? You might not be able to change whether or not we have to go outside with masks on. You might not be able to change who the president of the United States is, but you can change some of the aspects about your quality of life. And so Adria, let's just kind of throw out some words. What are, what are some words that people could choose from when picking a theme for the year? Give us some ideas.
Adria Sha [00:11:54] JOY.
Kayla Rain [00:11:54] OK, anything else?
Adria Sha [00:12:04] WEALTH.
Kayla Rain [00:12:04] Speaking of wealth, I will tell you, my fiance, Dan and Dan's going to die that first episode, I'm putting him on the spot. But when I first started to choose a word for the year, his word was MONEY.
Adria Sha [00:12:14] I love it!
Kayla Rain [00:12:16] I said, no... that's not..
Adria Sha [00:12:17] There's no shame in that! He's only getting a dollar!
Kayla Rain [00:12:21] I said that money is not, money is not a theme! It's what... What the what does the money mean to you? What, what if you had money, what would you do with it? What does money mean? Does it mean that you would be able to have a nicer car or a new house or have more expendable income, be able to enjoy more time with friends, be able to travel? Money isn't a theme. It shouldn't be a theme. It's what the money means. And I think it's important when you choose your theme for the year that you actually focus on really getting down to what does that do for me? Why is that word important to me? So let's talk about a theme for next year. Adria, have you given any thought to your theme for 2021?
Adria Sha [00:13:08] I have. I've actually picked one since the last time we talked.
Kayla Rain [00:13:12] Oh, my goodness! Share! Do share! Tell us!
Adria Sha [00:13:15] My word for 2021 I think, is going to be SHINE because I'm kind of I'm at a turning point in my life and 2020 was a time when I went through a lot of personal changes and did some trying to figure out who I was and where, what direction I wanted my life to take. And in 2021 I just want to shine and magnify.
Kayla Rain [00:13:38] I love it! Oh I love it! I'm actually kind of jealous. But guys, let me share my word for 2021 with you and understand that as we're recording this we're still in 2020. So I realize this is being released in 2021, so take that into consideration of the context of some of our terminology. Right now we're still in 2020 currently as we're doing this recording. But my theme for 2021 is FEARLESS. And for me that's important because just releasing this podcast is pretty nerve wracking. It's, it's really putting ourselves out there.
Adria Sha [00:14:16] But YOLO!
Kayla Rain [00:14:16] YOLO. You only live once. I have so many big exciting plans with the podcast, with my life, things that I'd like to come about. And I'll tell you what, we'll get into a lot of things over the next few episodes. The you know, hopefully the next several years, we'll share a lot of our personal experiences with you. But I have to say that just focusing on getting this podcast out and trying to reach people that believe the same things we do, that are looking for a little inspiration and some help, I know that I have to attack this project just being fearless. And so that's my my word for 2021. So Adria, do you have any more thoughts on a theme for the year before we wrap things up?
Adria Sha [00:15:07] I'm just curious, once you've decided on a theme, how do you apply that? How do you maintain your focus on that theme throughout the year?
Kayla Rain [00:15:15] Oh, my gosh, I'm so glad you asked, because that's a great question, because, yeah, you can totally pick a word. You can say this is my theme. And then if you just set that aside and forget about it, nothing's going to change. In fact, you'll hear me say this over and over again, but nothing changes, until something changes. Thank you, Mr. Obvious. Right? But no, if you just come up with a word that doesn't really mean anything if you forget that word. So there's a number of different ways that you can apply the theme to your life, focus on it, remember it. Some quick, easy things that come to mind that are completely free. Adria you could come up with a wallpaper for your phone that has your word on it. So if you could make a custom wallpaper that says SHINE and every time you open your phone, every time you unlock it, you could be reminded: Adria, SHINE. Right? You could get it tattooed on yourself.
Adria Sha [00:16:09] That works! In a place you can see though.
Kayla Rain [00:16:12] Oh yeah. Don't put it on your behind because... Maybe put your significant other's word on your behind. That might work. But, totally joking guys! We don't encourage that. But you could write it on a Post-it note, stick it on your mirror. Every day as you're brushing your teeth, that word is just reminding you. This is my theme. This is my theme. This is what I want my year to look like. Those are some some free way to free ways to do it. But also, I think it's important to tell someone else, tell others. It's kind of like when you make a goal and you tell someone else, you're a lot more likely to stay committed to it because you've got someone that will remind you and help hold you accountable. Well, if you tell your significant others, your family members, your friends, hey, guys, this is my theme for the year. Make it a fun conversation! And I promise you, when they notice you off track or where you're struggling, someone's going to remind you and say, hey, wait a minute. "Wasn't your theme to be true to yourself? Wasn't your theme that you're going to shine? Wasn't your theme that you're going to be fearless?" And they'll help remind you and hold you accountable and keep you on track? But Adria, we talked about the other day, another really great way that you can be reminded about your theme. Do you remember what that was?
Adria Sha [00:17:31] You said to put your theme... the word that you've chosen, you could put it on a piece of jewelry that you wear, and that way it's right in your line of sight every day, a constant reminder.
Kayla Rain [00:17:44] Exactly. And now, guys, there are a ton of companies out there doing this. You can find all kinds of different bracelets, necklaces, even key chains on Etsy that you can have engraved with your word. And we have some exciting news to share with you, because Adria and I are doing a giveaway! We really want you guys to download and subscribe to our podcast. We want you to leave us reviews. That's how we grow. So as part of our theme this year and helping you have your theme for the year, we want to do a giveaway that every week this year from the people that leave us reviews, we will draw one name each week. So a winner every week. And that person will receive a custom bracelet from us with their word on it. We'll pick one listener each week. And we will let you tell us what your word is. And we will send you a bracelet that you can wear. Male or female, they'll be unisex, that you can wear that will remind you of what your word and your theme is this year.
Adria Sha [00:18:51] Yeah, I love that. And I really do. Leave us your honest reviews, positive or negative. We're looking forward to your feedback in ways that we can improve.
Kayla Rain [00:18:58] So one of the things that Adria and I want to be known for is we plan to, at the end of every single one of our episodes, leave you with a quick, simple, easy, fun action item that you can use to start implementing all of these tips and tricks from the Law of Attraction into your life to get the Law of Attraction to start working for you. We want you to have the same results and experiences that we do. And in fact, we want to hear from you. We want to know how things are working. We want to know when you're excited. We want to hear your questions. We want you to challenge us, too, and tell us, "Hey, I tried this and it didn't work." Or "What do you think about this?" Or "I tried that and I had a bad experience." Give it all to us. And so that being said, what we have done is we have put together a jumpstart module and this is Episode one. Our Jumpstart Start module includes 10 episodes.
