We don't like when people tell us lies, but really, the biggest lies we are told come directly from ourselves. It's always "you vs. you". In this episode we explore some ways we lie to ourselves, how it affects us, and why we should stop.

Life is good, but sometimes it's not... and when it's not, we like to cry "woe is me". Instead of that, I'd like to challenge you to look a little deeper because there might be a lesson there for you to learn.

If you've taken a flight before, you've definitely heard the in-flight instructions that say "In the event of an emergency, put your oxygen mask on first before helping someone else". I like to think of oxygen masks as a symbol of taking care of ourselves.

We are taught a lot of things in life, but rarely are we taught how to take care of ourselves. If we do, we're sometimes called selfish and then a flood of guilt ensues.

In this episode, we discuss why you should put your oxygen mask on first, and why taking care of yourself isn't a bad thing.

I'm sure most of you started listening to my podcast last year when it was "In Full Bloom". Flourish with Bijul is the new and improved version of that show. In this short introductory episode, I explain where I've been over the last several months, why the show had to change names, and what's to come.

I'm so glad to be back! Follow Flourish with Bijul on Instagram to stay connected.
