When I work with my Spiritual Mentoring clients, there’s an exercise that I have them do that’s based off of one of the Online Training modules that I created for them called: Balcony People. Balcony people are the reliable,​ enthusiastic cheerleaders in your life that love you, get you, see you and celebrate you! They’re the ones that show up to cheer you on at your events, in your successes or bring encouragement when you’ve forgotten your brilliance. They’re a wicked important part of your journey and it’s good to recognize, acknowledge and express gratitude for them. So take a moment to ask yourself, “Who are the Balcony People in my life that consistently show up for me?” Just as it's important to know who the Balcony People are, you should also have a pretty good grip on who the “Basement People” in your life are too. Basement People are the ones that keep trying to hold you back, discourage you, or pull you back down into the “dirty water” - because they don't want you to actually shine too bright in your success. They tend to suffer from a lack of Balcony People in their own life. So rather than learning how to celebrate a friend or a loved one, they get jealous and want to drag them down into the dark cellar of misery with them. Today on The Karen Kenney Show we’re diving into how it’s not only important to have Balcony People in your life but to also BE a Balcony Person for others. The love, the light, the goodness, the holiness, and the creativity that we see in each other, is a super powerful and beautiful thing to have reflected back to us. It’s good to first take an honest look at our own thoughts, words and actions and then at the people, we surround ourselves with and ask, “Are you a balcony or basement person?”   What You Will Learn On This Episode: Who Are Your Balcony People?
