Journey Forward with Joree Rose

It used to be believed that our brains couldn’t change, and our wiring was fixed. Good news is that’s not true and we are able to rewire our brains to be happier, healthier people. It starts with awareness and takes practice, but it is possible!

Had I not had a mindfulness practice during the week of Halloween, 2011, I guarantee I would have had a nervous breakdown. But the one thing that saved me - I mean truly got me through it - was my breath. It sounds overly simplified, but it's true. All I could do was breathe...

Increasing awareness of what's not working for you - whether it's thoughts, fears, anxieties or old stories that no longer define you - is the first step to getting unstuck. But now what? Well, then, it's all about slowing down, observing what's arising, and breathing. It is, and is not, that simple!

Getting over fears and anxieties is much easier said than done, and it can take years to undo patterns and habits that perpetuate old stories. But, the good news is that it's possible! And it all starts with awareness!

The story in which we define ourselves can often be limiting in who we allow ourselves to become. I used to operate out of an old story that no longer served me, and it kept me stuck, but I didn't know who I was without my story. I feared the unknown and thought if stayed in the "known", then I'd be happy - until one day I shifted my mindset and was able to trust that unknown held the possibility of happiness, peace, fulfillment and personal freedom.

What defines you? Are you staying stuck in your story out of habit, or fear of change?

Is there something in your life that just isn't working? Are you wanting to make change, but just aren't sure where to start? Well, there are no accidents and I believe that you've tuned in to today's podcast because you are ready to get unstuck and live your best life.

At the root of creating lasting change you'll be able to bring more mindfulness into your life, which I define as living with greater awareness, attention and intention. It's time to get off autopilot and get into the driver seat of your own life. It's time to allow and accept your thoughts and emotions as they arise, without letting them take over. It's time to stop looking backward and ruminating, and now is the time to Journey Forward with an open mindset, living within your values, to living fully, freely and authentically.
