Episode Summary

Today, the Be A Smart Woman podcast welcomes back Belinda Jane Robinson for the second part of a two-part interview. Today, Belinda talks more in more depth about each jewel featured in her book The Seven Jewels of Life: what they represent in our life, from the color, country, food, emotions, and how practically these jewels will take you on a journey of self-discovery towards inner confidence and empowerment, in order to reach your unique destiny.

Episode Notes

Belinda discusses the seven steps of understanding behind the Seven Jewels of Life. She walks you through each jewel and shows how they work and how they can be used in your life.

Step one is determining what the seven jewels represent for you. Each of the seven jewels represents seven primary areas of our life. The idea behind the Seven Jewels of Life is that we should polish each of these seven jewels in order to light up our diamond within. Additionally, for every jewel, there's a day of the week, a color, and a continent celebrated (2:38).
Step two is all about letting the jewels help you get clarity and direction in your life (4:33). To help bring clarity and direction, Belinda talks how making dream sheets for each jewel helped her get visual clarity for each jewel.
Step three is to become aware of your thinking and recognizing your thoughts are like magnets. What you're thinking and fearing, you'll tend to bring in more in of that they of stuff. To overcome this, one must understand that you not what is in your thoughts, and start to generate thoughts about what you do want to think about (14:15).
Step four is about understanding the gap between what you want and your lived experience. Here is where you examine what is happing when your thoughts don't match your dream (21:23).
Step five is what to do when negative thoughts stop your thoughts from matching your dream. The answer is to write. Belinda created a formula for this step called SBS, which stands for stop the thoughts, breathe to claim yourself and step into your own diamond field. (23:48)
Step six is all about choice. This step is where everyone can decide for themselves whether to stay out in the storm a bit longer or go inside to your diamond field. Step six is knowing we all have the ability to change perspective. (31:50)
Step seven is where Belinda created Diamond Day. (37:26) The Diamond Day puts all aspects of the Seven Jewels of Life together is a time table that makes it all accessible at a glance.

**Quotes: **

Belinda on how our repeated thoughts become beliefs and can block us from achieving our dreams:

"So we all come into this world with a beautiful little diamond shining, and innocent and full of joy, but along the way life happens, we have good and bad experiences, and they become beliefs. We collect beliefs that get stored in our subconscious mind, and these beliefs can get stuck… and they become the lenses through which we see out in our world.” (12:70)

Belinda on how making dream sheets for each jewel made the ideas more visual and spurred inspired action:

“What you're doing every day by thinking of the jewels, you're thinking of, how they make me feel, you're continually thinking, you want to feel good, because you know it's the feeling good that will fuel your inspired actions. (38:36)
