40. You Don't Need to Be Fixed


Listen Later

Perhaps you're tuning in as we move into this new near. Have you set any resolutions yet? Whether or not you have, we'd like to suggest you put one resolution on the top of your list. Here it is for you (you can copy and paste as the background on your device):

Resolution 1: I don't need to be fixed.

Yup. That's the resolution that will actually fuel more inspiration and positive changes than any other one we can think of. Aren't convinced? Tune into this episode to learn why this kind of strength-based foundation brews up inspiration and sustains positive changes that you want to create in your life. And be sure to head over to our free Resilience Quiz to identify your Resilience Type. It's a powerful tool to help you with this resolution and to move forward from a place of strength.

Key Takeaways:

  • Starting from a place of strength (that we don't need to be fixed) creates a broadening effect in our minds. We're able to see more opportunities, problem-solve obstacles more efficiently, be gentler with ourselves, and stay more motivated to stick with our inspired goals.
  • Negative emotions are not bad, but when we hang on to them too long, they create constriction in our mind and body. We're not as able to tap into our creativity, inspiration, motivation, and more when negative emotions close us up.
  • We are more than our pathology and/or labels.
  • Discover your Resilience Type with our free Resilience Quiz to help streamline your activities and come back to balance. This is a powerful tool that helps you create positive changes from a place of strength.
