I didn't forget about last week's podcast 😬.. 

 

I was on a week break, and I'm back! It was a very productive [and honestly, extremely busy] week. It may be bad to skip a week in business with the podcast, but I had to have that week to focus on events and put all of my time into my clients and their businesses. I love what I do, so I wasn't stressed with my back-to-backs.

 

2021 is the year of lessons and has been a shocking year in my life – both positively and negatively. Lessons are where we grow – the harder the lessons, the more we learn and apply them in our lives. 

 

And I want to talk to you about exactly that in this episode. 

 

1. How do we learn these lessons? Bring awareness to your state, the way you deal with it, your energy, the lessons, and how you will move forward. [5:10]

 

1. Practice The Pause: counting to 5 before you react. It's similar to the five-second rule. It doesn't necessarily mean the literal 1 to 5 count. The essence is to stop and be silent before you react to anything to avoid screwing things up or burning bridges with people. [8:00]  

 

1. Live awake because we have to grow with, understand, and learn what's going on. Reacting immediately or immaturely is from our ego. It is built from something that has happened from our childhood as a coping mechanism to our environment. [10:57]

 

Pause, breathe, keep still, and be present. 'What can I learn from this?' 'How can I grow from this?'

 

I'm here to help, support, and pause with you! 

 

If you have any questions or want me to elaborate about this podcast or anything at all, please reach out and let's connect (if we haven't already)!
