	 Both are difficult.
	 
	 Both involve discomfort.
	 
	 Both require time, persistence, and patience.
	 
	 And both are easiest when we have a motivation that propels us through the discomfort.


	 


Fear, self-hatred, and compliance with external expectations are poor motivators. Living according to our higher selves and striving to embody what we value are much stronger motivators! 


	 Our ability to grow, develop, and live in line with our higher selves hinges upon our willingness to look truthfully at ourselves and our circumstances, and make choices from a deeper internal authority.


	 


In this NEW episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins <a href="https://www.bicepsafterbabies.com/">Amber Brueseke of Biceps After Babies Radio</a> to discuss the important role that self-honesty and self-definition play in our relationship to our bodies as well as in our emotional, spiritual, and relational development.
