Jeff & Cathy dive deep into the first two letters in their "F-SEEBO Model" (listen to episodes 11, 102, and 103 to learn more). This episode supports listeners in knowing how to tell the difference between FACTS and the STORIES we tell about those facts with the purpose of gaining the power to CHOOSE more supportive and empowering stories. Much of what we think and feel is true in our minds is optional. We have more power to CREATE our stories than we are usually aware of. #facts #stories #thoughtwork #lifecoach loveinlateryears.com

Jeff & Cathy talk about the victim vs. superhero mindset. When we focus on things within our control and take action, we expand our personal power and joy. Shifting from "should" to sincere desire, from feeling acted upon to acting with a cheerful heart, and from self neglect to purposeful self-care, we master the superhero mindset. This episode pairs with Are You a Victim or Superhero? (video on LILY Tube) and LILY Letter 86: Choosing Power and Joy. #superhero #selfcare #desire #motivation #mindset loveinlateryears.com
