Growing Paynes

When we are anxious or stressed our breaths become very shallow and we don't fully draw air into our lungs. Intentionally focusing on our breath help us lower our heart rate, blood pressure, increase energy levels, decrease anxiety and stress, improve sleep, and allow for a more focused mine. Basically, allowing us to be in the driver seat and in control of our lives! We all have a few minutes in the morning, while we're driving, at lunch, in between meetings, during naps....to look inward and focus on our breathing. It is free. Easy. And will change your life if you keep working at it.

We are talking about Imposter Syndrome in today's episode. 

You know, that little voice in our head that is constantly casting doubts on our talents and capabilities. 

We all go through it, but with the right tools and shift in mindset, we can tackle this "syndrome" and take our power back! 

In this episode: This is a little nugget that I actually recorded over a year ago! I found it and thought it was such a powerful message. It might feel embarrassing to ask for help, but if it necessary to your survival (literally), then you must do it! For me, help came in the form of medication and a professional to talk to on a weekly basis. Years later, I am so dang proud of the girl I was back then and the balls she had to reach out for help.
