Do you feel like you should or could be doing something? 

This can be from what you told yourself or someone else. It might be that you wanted to do something for yourself, but something comes up that cannot just wait. It can also be that you just ran out of time in the day or you didn’t place it in your schedule well. Let’s chat about some ways you can take some power over your mind to help limit feeling pulled in so many directions. 

You are awake! How many directions have you already been pulled in today? As I was writing this episode I was feeling pulled to finish the laundry, exercise, complete my journaling for the day, put away the bottles, scroll on my phone, sit in silence and trying to keep my mind focused right here on this episode to give you the best pieces of advice. We all have different parts of life that pull us in a lot of directions, however it is important to notice who you are and why you matter in those moments of being pulled in some many ways. 

Let’s dive into today’s episode and talk briefly about the being pulled into countless directions and how you can find your center. 

This pulled direction can be because of how we are feeling about our brain because our brain is a complex part of our body with intelligences. Our brains are divided into three basic units. We need our brain to work together, and each part has specific responsibilities. This a basic overview of your brain and know it is a powerful tool in understanding why you might feel pulled in countless directions if one piece is interrupted. Being pulled in multiple directions might come from the fact that you have conflicting experiences happening in your mind. 

• Topic 1: The Brain as Our Most Powerful Tool 
  • Techniques for Mental Clarity 
    • Mindfulness Meditation: Engage in regular practices that center your attention on the present moment, allowing you to acknowledge and release distractions. It is being in that state of being mindful on giving yourself clarity. 
    • Journaling: Write down your thoughts to gain insight and identify patterns, transforming abstract worries into tangible reflections that can be addressed.

Why does practicing mindfulness in your eating habits help you connect with yourself? Anytime we practice mindfulness we are becoming or being aware of what our bodies are telling us. This is looking for the deeper awareness in the body’s hunger or fullness cues and means you are eating with intention, not just on emotions.

As we talk in this episode, we are focusing on how you can stay in the moment instead of being in past or in the future. This is because when you dwell in the past, it isn’t going to change what has happened.  This one can be a hard one, but it is important for our eating habits to be established. 

• In this podcast episode, we aim for you to gain insight into what mindfulness truly means, explore self-connections, and understand how these elements influence your nutritional well-being.

Call to action: I encourage you to focus on eating without distractions this week! Additionally, consider joining the Rediscover Your Intentional Self Retreat in March to gain valuable tools that will help you connect with your habits.

• Where to start? 
  • Start by looking at your expenses from what you have on a credit card statement to what you have on a bank statement to get a perspective on how you are spending money. 
  • Look at the income you have that is coming in! Have you ever looked at your paycheck stub?

Financial freedom means different things to different people, such as not worrying about bills, traveling, or supporting family. For me, it’s about a balanced budget where all funds are assigned essential categories. Achieving financial freedom involves defining what it means to you and understanding your spending habits.

Key points include:

• Financial well-being is about control and confidence, not just money.
• It involves keeping up with daily life, reaching personal lifestyle goals, and having financial freedom.
• Knowing your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities is crucial.
• Start by tracking spending to create a budget and identify where to save.
• Financial freedom shifts with age, focusing on independence for young adults and lifestyle maintenance for older generations.
• Ultimately, it’s about having choices and control over your life, not just surviving.
• Steps to achieve financial freedom include having an emergency fund, paying off debts, saving living expenses, investing for retirement, and potentially paying off your home early.

True financial freedom reflects your values, allowing you to live authentically.
