        8. 007 - Comparison Creates Complacency
          I talk about how…
          Highlight reels are misleading
          Celebrating others is way more fulfilling than focusing on your lack
          Comparison can keep you complacent/stagnant
          You can rationalize your actions by comparing yourself to people you're "more holy" than

            5. 003 - Perspective is Key
              In this episode of Awake Active Aligned, I talk about how important it is to be mindful of your perspective & thoughts and how to flip your perspective when you catch yourself being negative. 
              Main topics:
              How you can't change your circumstances, but you can change how you view them
              How you can see life as happening FOR you, not just TO you
              How to shift your perspective (notice your thoughts, figure out the thoughts that aren't serving you & why those thoughts exist, dig deep to change those limiting beliefs)
