A lot of time, effort, emotion, feeling, logistics, and details go into making a decision, and then you finally land on it. You've chosen, you've decided, you're owning it. But everything around you is still reflecting the way that it has been, instead of the way that you envision it is going to be.

This, my friend, is what I like to call the Messy Middle. This is the space in between time where we're not where we want to be yet, but we've left the space that we once were in. And this often requires a whole new level of diligence, patience, and action.

So, in today’s Powerback® episode, I’m going to talk about the messy middle and give you some recommendations to help you navigate this in-between space while staying in your aligned self and vision.

We’ll go through:

• Making aligned decisions and how that changes things
• Notice how your emotions and your actions will try to show up
• The power of the being still process
• Connect with yourself and the bigger picture on a daily basis
• Take one small intentional action that helps you move forward
• Aligned action is also caring for yourself

Most people are living on autopilot, following what they should do, instead of tapping into honoring and acting on what they actually want and need instead.

Past circumstances, situations, people, and conversations have led you to believe what you should do. Those thoughts, feelings, and actions become beliefs, which become actions, which become subconscious standards. So, it’s really easy to forget or to stop and ask yourself, “What do I actually want or need in this situation?”

That's why today's Powerback® episode is about recognizing how many times we actually say and do what we “should” do, and learning how to recognize and lean into what we actually want instead.

We’ll walk through:

• Notice the “should”s that pop up in your day with this challenge
• The consequences of living through the “should”s
• Start by honoring your wants in your micro-decisions
• Harness the power of the pause
• The incredible ripple effect of micro decisions where you choose you
• Use the Powerback® Process to break the habit of using the word “should”

Overwhelm is inevitable and is a feeling that I know that all of us are far too familiar with.

You know, when your brain gets ahead of your body, you have a million things to do, you're anxious, you have no idea where to begin or what to focus on... and what do you end up doing? You shut the fuck down.

The good news is: it doesn't have to rule your life, it doesn't have to control you. While there may be more intense moments, more dense moments of your life, we CAN shift that feeling in the moment from overwhelmed to focused, and that’s what this Powerback® episode is about.

The Powerback® Process is simple but not always easy and is a tool that can help you get back into your body and get back control over what the hell's going on. So, you can get back into yourself. So, you know where to focus, what to put your time and energy into, and to start to feel like yourself again.

We’ll go through:

• Start regaining control by pausing and noticing
• Get really curious
• It’s not about perfection or mastery
• What is really true?
• Move your body + Brain Dump + Focus time
• Take aligned (messy) action
