In this episode, I talk about what I learned from attending a lecture with a sports psychology professor from Adams State University, Dr. Brian Zuleger. While the topic was Mental Performance Training for Student Athletes, what he said is relevant for anyone on a transformational journey and when working with a growth edge.  

I discuss some the concepts that resonated with me and overlapped with previous trainings I have done on the powers of the Mind.  Some of the concepts include a build it (conscious creator) vs. fix it approach; maintaining joy in your pursuits; finding harmonious passions; and bolstering confidence and motivation from the inside out rather than the other way around where performance doesn't dominant self-worth. Enjoy!

EFT Tapping is a powerful tool that activates calm and clears anxiety, overwhelm and can even be used to clear limiting beliefs and internal blocks.  It is both energy medicine and applied kinesiology.  What I love about it (besides the fact the it targets both the physical and subtle aspects of the body) is it's applicability as an on - the - go remedy for stress.
