The Joy Within

If you got thrown off last month or it feels like this year is flying by, this is for you.
 
In today's epsiode, I talk about how we can pay attention to our response when we get thrown off track, reset our expectations for where we should be, and move forward from where we are (without feeling stressed or "behind").

Hesitation is the 4th of the 7 Hidden Faces of Fear. It comes in the form of the many, momentary gaps between inspiration and action, little hiccups that cause us to question ourselves and keep us from taking action on our goals.

Doubt is one of the most sinister masks that fear can wear. It slips into us from so many places we often don't even realize when it's present. It stops us from going after the things we really want, and keeps us stuck, exactly where we are.

Today, we continue our deep dive into The 7 Hidden Faces of Fear, and look at how uncertainty can be a manifestation of the fears we hold.

Today we dive into indecision - the first of the 7 Hidden Faces of Fear.

Do you ever feel like something is eating away at you, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is?
If so, there’s a good chance it might be fear. Fear likes to hide from us in all sorts of ways, and today, we’re going to uncover the 7 most common, hidden faces of fear. T

It's mid-December, which means if you haven't started to think about your goals for next year, it's time to get on it.
 
But, in order to be successful with our goals, we have to clarify and trust in the goals that are right for us - NOT the goals we "think" we "should" have. In today's episode, I share how we often fail in our goals because we don't clarify the right aims, we don't trust in them, and we don't account for the inner blocks that will arise along the way.
 
If you've ever felt like you've struggled to reach your goals, or if you've felt there's something missing in your standard goal-setting process, this episode is for you.

On today's episode, I fess up to a recent challenge I've been having and how, by allowing my point of focus to slip, I've created a more negative experience for myself. Then, I outline the framework and strategies I use to make a shift, so we can apply our focus to feel happier and more peaceful, even when faced with a negative situation.

Today I want to share a frame - a way of thinking - believe is absolutely crucial right now. We have never been more divided, and as the holidays approach I know being with family can bring up a lot of opposing beliefs.
 
This episode will help you to increase your compassion and understanding for those who might be on the other side of the table this year...especially when you disagree with everything they might believe.

No one deserves to suffer from stress. Last time I shared the belief that helps me to stay centered and calm no matter what life throws at me, but developing a new belief can take time.
If we want to beat stress, we also need real-world strategies that work immediately.
So, today I want to give you a more practical plan - a 30 day roadmap - you can start using immediately to step back from stress and begin to feel like yourself again.
