Today I had Amber (one of my very close friends) on the podcast. I hope today's episode makes you feel a little less trapped in your head and more open to trusting that everything is happening when and how it's supposed to.

Key concepts in this episode:

• Control-- What is it? When do we truly need it?
• Being present--How does presence apply to peace?
• Mindfulness-- Assessing what choices you are deliberately making and figuring out what is in your highest self’s best interest.
• Peace-- What is peace? How do we get to a place of peacefulness? Is it fleeting?

Journal prompts for today's episode:

1. How would you define peace? What does a "peaceful life" look like for you?
2. Assess your current habits. What habits are leading you towards a higher version of yourself and which are holing you back?
3. What does your highest self look like to you? What does he/she eat, how do they exercise....how social are they?
4. What's the biggest peace interrupter to you?
5. When in your life do you feel the most at peace? Why do you think that is?
6. How do you recharge your battery? What do you do to regulate yourself and self-soothe?

You are not your thoughts BUT.... your thoughts DO create your reality.

We all abide by a set of beliefs that we cumulate through things like experience, culture, upbringing, etc... When these beliefs have gotten us through life, we often don't think to question their validity. Then we're faced with the challenges associated with not truly knowing who we are and what we're capable of. My hopes are that you'll leave today's episode feeling much more aware of your own thoughts, especially in what is actually true and what you've just chosen to believe all this time.

Journal prompts for limiting beliefs:

1. What have you always wanted to do but haven't yet? What belief have you attached to this that is stopping you from doing this thing?
2. What are your strengths? What about your weaknesses? Who told you these were true/what solid evidence do you have to back this up?
3. If you were the same person you are now, but had all the confidence in the world, what would you accomplish?
4. What are some of your biggest limiting beliefs? How have these beliefs affected your personal life?
5. How can you prove these beliefs wrong?
6. Going back to the tool belt analogy... what tools on your tool belt are rusty? What might you be able to swap out the rusty ones for?

The way you view yourself determines your capability to accomplish the goals you set out to achieve. The problem often lies in the fact that we aren't always aware of what our beliefs look like.

I had the honor of sitting down for the second time with fitness coach, Wanda Andrejecsk, to talk about a few things associated with building a better self image.
