You might have heard the phrase "intentional living" being thrown around quite a bit lately. Living with intention is a beautiful thing and its so amazing when you can consciously start to make choices for yourself that are in alignment with your deepest values.

I have always been a perfectionist and I thought I couldn't be happy until everything was perfect. But I realized that perfection is the killer of joy and that we have to CHOOSE joy over perfection every time if we want to live whole and full lives.

Have you ever heard the old cliche "without your health you have nothing." ?

This statement has been a driving force in my life for many years. I strongly believed that because I was sick all the time that meant I didn't have anything and essentially I was nothing.

In today's episode I discuss the one super simple thing we all do that lowers our self-esteem and ruins our self-confidence.

Ever notice how we seem to attract the same situations over and over? The same people, the same problems, etc. and then we start to feel stuck, we start to contract, and we isolate ourselves and want to escape our lives!

Do you ever look around at your life and on some level notice that you are KILLING IT but for some reason you STILL feel worthless?

Does your pantry drive you crazy! Would you rather go out to eat than try to dig for something to cook in your pantry?

Do you ever catch yourself judging your neighbor? I do (all the time) and to be honest I really don't like when I judge people but I've learned that I'm human and I will do it. So instead of beating myself up about it I use it to my advantage...

Are you trying to fix yourself?

Do you believe that if you could just change a few key things about yourself you would feel happier, more alive?

Do you get overwhelmed by life? All the things we have to do, places we have to go, school supplies we have to buy, groceries, car registrations, filling up the gas tank - you name it! These might all seem like trivial things (and obviously not life's biggest problems) but these things can really add up.
