Reset with Liz Tran

How often have you chased down a relationship, a job, or a goal, only to feel exhausted and no closer to getting what you want? The problem with our culture is that it doesn't value RECEIVING. We are taught to use only determination and hard work to get what we want. In this episode, Liz shares how to let your goals find their way to you by learning to receive.

The theme of 2020 is CHANGE. This year opens a window where we can reinvent ourselves to fit our highest good. So, why are we so afraid of change even when we know that we need it? Why does it feel so unsettling and so hard? Here's how to use the remaining 4 months of 2020 to invite in all the changes you have been putting off.

The greatest cause of unhappiness is wishing that life was different than it is. Think about how many times a day you want someone else to behave differently, for the weather to brighten, or for an event to change so it fits what you want. We all have this tendency. We want to shape and control the world around us so we never have to feel discomfort or disappointment. The problem is, we are living in a time when it's impossible to do that.

In this episode, we discuss how to identify what is in your control, and what is absolutely not within your control. And most importantly, how to let go of that which you cannot change. Letting go of the need to control is the foundation for a happy, grateful, peaceful life. Let's do it!

In 1845, Henry David Thoreau moved to remote Walden pond to live isolated in nature, free from the distraction of social responsibilities. The result, was his book, Walden, a treatise on living according to your own compass.

In this week's episode, we talk about how to create your own Walden situation, even if you can't leave your apartment, and why it is important to get away from the crowd to hear your own voice, especially if you are doing deep thinking, creating, and planning.
