In this second installment of the Five Year You coaching series, Andrew and Catherine focus on rediscovering the "Self." Diving into the four dimensions of self—emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical—they guide listeners to reflect on how they show up in the world and how to align their daily habits and beliefs with their five-year vision. This episode offers insights, strategies, and practical exercises to help you cultivate authenticity, resilience, and self-awareness.

Key Topics Covered:

• Emotional Awareness: Understanding and mastering your emotions to live a more balanced and joyful life.
• Spiritual Beliefs: Exploring your spirituality and its role in your sense of self.
• Mental Health and Mindset: Identifying and reframing limiting beliefs that hold you back.
• Physical Health: Setting realistic goals and building habits for a healthier, more energetic you.

Actionable Steps for Listeners:

1. Reflect on Emotions: Journal about the emotions you feel most often and identify which ones you’d like to experience more or less frequently.
2. Define Your Spiritual Beliefs: Take time to explore what resonates with you, whether it’s traditional religion, mindfulness, or connecting with nature.
3. Reframe Limiting Beliefs: Write down one belief holding you back and challenge its validity. Replace it with a positive, empowering thought.
4. Set Physical Goals: Decide how you want to feel and look in five years. Start with small steps, like drinking more water or adding movement to your day.
5. Honor Your Future Self: Make daily decisions based on what your five-year self would want, from how you eat to how you spend your time.
