In this episode Learn how shoving down parts of myself to please others became a story I chose to believe which lead to the thought that it must be true. We also learn how being the observer of our thoughts can help empower us to separate our thoughts from what is really truth so we don’t create a story and belief that keep us from being our true authentic self.

When we really want to start changing things for ourselves we get to first remember that it all starts within our own brains. Remembering there’s always a solution allows us to be the ones to rewire our brains. If we want to change the results in our life or the direction that we get to go then we need to start from inside our own brains.

This episode “The challenge to become” was inspired by a talk from apostle Dallin H. Oaks from the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints in October 2000 general conference. Sometimes we attach our worth to the things that we do as we dive in to this episode we gain more clarity on our value of who we are not just the things that we do to earn that value.

Questioning everything and answering our mind and these questions can really help us decide how we want to show up and who we want to be. Is that true is a book by Byron Katie that I share some ideas from and ways to confidently be yourself and feel more empowered in the choices you make.

When we have a compelling enough reason why we do what we do it makes it easier to stay committed and we become more confident and empowered as we follow through on anything. Our WHY is something only we can feel for ourselves and we do things because we feel strongly enough to do them. Aligning our intention and our why will always allow us to access our inner guidance and become who we want to become.

If you don’t like anything about your life right now then I have great news, you can change how you think about it. Maybe we’re not in control of our situation or other people but what about our thoughts about all of it that can cause us to feel unhappy about it? Let’s get out of our heads and j to our hearts and experience life in a way that is more fulfilling.

Our feelings come because of thoughts (that sometimes look like stories and drama we create) and they can change. If we’re not happy or satisfied with our life or feel like we’re not reaching our goals then we just need to know how to look at the data and the facts and coarse correct as necessary.

Being human means we’re going to fall short, we’re going to give in to the flesh and our physical appetites. Everything is 50/50, half the time life will be good and Easy and half the time life will be hard and uncomfortable. The more conscious we become of our thoughts and emotions the more we choose on purpose how we want to show up. Sometimes we need to show more grace for ourselves and others and giving in less to our physical appetites and the drama we create in our minds.

Learn why change is so hard as we dive deeper into the brain and how it works with the body. In order to experience a more conscious life it’s proven that meditation is an essential key component. For your free meditation click the link below https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6124256b0a1a4561b73b905c

To just do the thing may look like doing something we need to do but keep avoiding doing it because of an emotion we’re actually trying to avoid. Leaning in and doing something that’s going to help us become the version of ourselves that we want to be may not always be comfortable but doing it anyway will help us in the long run. What are you avoiding doing becasue of a potential emotion you may feel that you don’t want to feel? How can you take one small step in the direction you want to go and feel better emotionally while doing it?
