Juxtaposition: Balancing Your Inner and Outer World

In this episode of Breen Time, Sabrina explores the relationship between our inner world — our thoughts, self-talk, and personal experience of life — and our outer world — the cars we drive, the money we earn, the things we present to others.

Too often, the outer world can overshadow or even replace our inner experience, leaving us unbalanced and disconnected. This episode reflects on how to notice when that’s happening, and how to realign so that who you are inside matches what you show to the world.

This week’s exercise: How to align your inner and outer worlds

1. Check in with yourself. Pause and honestly reflect on how you’re feeling.
2. Notice the undercurrents. What’s really going on beneath the surface? What are the main issues you need to unpack?
3. Identify your beliefs. What stories or beliefs do you hold about yourself that shape your inner world?
4. Acknowledge the challenge. This isn’t always easy, and you may need the support of friends, family, or a professional.
5. Define healthy habits. What does balance and wellbeing look like for you?
6. Plan for action. Decide how you will establish those habits and begin moving toward alignment.

If any of these steps feel unclear, you can always revisit the episode for context — or reach out to Sabrina on social media to continue the conversation.
