Can't Be Contained

On today's solo jam, we're talking about the importance of focusing on our internal standards rather than our external standards, attracting abundance, and spending our time intentionally on the outcome that we want. I share some tangible ways to flip the script to allow for higher internal standards so that we can embody the energy that we desire.

Inside this episode, I share:

• Our tendency to set high standards for our external appearance while neglecting the internal
• Spending our time intentionally on the outcome we want
• Raising our standards internally to attract abundance
• Showing up externally how we feel internally
• Focusing on the outcome we desire

We've talked about it on the show before but I wanted to do a brand new episode on this as the concept is growing and there are so many new people in our community.

• That the body positivity movement needs to embrace individual truths and desires
• Why we need to start from a place of acceptance, not denial
• The importance of identifying the outcome you want
• Why you need to be honest with yourself moving into transformation

In this solo jam we are going to be talking about the addiction to personal development. Some of you out there want to consume all the things: the podcasts, the books, the mentors and coaching. This was me! I was so addicted to the pursuit of personal development that I was actually missing the point. In this episode I'm going to go into how we identify that and how we start to untangle it so that we can do the work that matters.

Inside this episode, I share:

• The power of intention and being committed to it
• How constant consumption leads to scattered focus
• That consumption without integration creates frustration
• Getting to know yourself is a more productive path than consumption
• Important work can be accomplished by being, not doing
• The role of breathwork in embracing the concept of presence
• We can improve our lives by making every decision from our most authentic selves
• How to set yourself up for daily "wins", which will increase happiness
• The benefits of recognizing progress in your journey
