The Joy Within

We have a tendency to believe that the thoughts we think are valid. We believe they are relevant and important. But, do we actually know if that's true? In today's episode, we unpack some of our unconscious assumptions about the way we think, and how these assumptions are causing us unnecessary pain, stress, and struggle.

A can-do attitude is possibly the most cliché personal development idea ever, but - when you look closely - there's a hidden magic within it most of us never allow ourselves to realize.

It's the time of year when we all take time to pause and reflect on our goals for the year ahead. In today's episode I share a simple concept I use to set spiritual and personal development goals, and, specifically, I want to focus on goals that are non-physical: goals that are hard to define and track... and it all comes down to just 1 question you can ask yourself.

If you've been following The Joy Within for a while, you've probably heard me talk about resonance - your natural, inner energy. But, you might not be clear on what, exactly, this resonance is - or, frankly - why you should care about it.
 
So, today I want to talk about why resonance matters. I'll give a brief introduction to it, and then we'll go deep into why it is so fundamentally important, because I think being able to tune-in to this feeling is the single, most important skill you can develop.

In today's episode, we're asking a simple, but important question: What impact do you really want to have? If you didn't talk yourself out of it, what goal would you really set? And, we'll talk about how - if you're not careful - the little voice in your head will keep you from ever reaching that goal.

Every thought we think impacts our relationships with others, from our closest partners to passing strangers. In today's episode, we talk about the invisible force that is attracting or repelling everyone around you...all based on the quality of your thoughts and your mood.

We don't usually place a value on negativity, but what if I told you your thoughts were actually costing you millions of dollars?
In today's episode, I dive into 3 ways you can think about the financial cost of unconscious thought habits, and why you should shift from scarcity to abundance, ASAP.

On one level, the emotional cost of negativity is obvious. Our thoughts drive our emotions, so when we think negative thoughts, we feel bad.
But, there's actually a much stronger emotional cost than we realize, because whenever we have negative thoughts, we end up pitting one half of ourselves against the other.

Except in extreme cases, we don't blame our health on our thoughts. We look to the world around us. We might blame our diet, our environment, our job, or even our genetics - but rarely do we blame our consistent thoughts.
 
In today's episode, I'll show you how to clarify that connection and identify the toll on your health.

The cost of negative thinking is higher than you think. Over the next five episodes, we'll explore the 5 main costs of negativity that most people never consider, including physical, emotional, financial, relationship, and impact costs.
By looking through this lens, we can become crystal clear about the role our thoughts play, and build the motivation to step back and do something about it.
