In this episode, Yessica talks about the importance of recognizing our patterns to transform them into empowered behaviors. Based on the Pöma Chodron’s teachings “Live your life as an experiment” this episode encourages us to experience life with openness. Cultivating the ability to do things differently to explore different ways of responding to things that we feel we are trapped in. Patterns that are always the same. Find a way to do things in a way you’ve never allowed yourself to try. What we have been doing until now is not the only way of doing things.  Discover yourself in different versions until you find your best version.

This episode offers a meditation to ground ourselves and reconnect with our strength and stillness. In this episode Yessica shares wisdom from the book “The extraordinary gift of being ordinary”. Lessons from Harvard about the power of connection versus self-evaluation. When we are able to communicate to connect we become more giving, loving and at ease with the people in our lives. From a self-evaluation perspective we alienate and distance ourselves. Without realizing it we are hurting ourselves and our relationships. This episode teaches us how to shift and come back moment by moment to create that connecting energy every day.

We live with an automatic pilot pleasing and responding to obligations, needs, and fears and by the time we realize this it’s too late. Sometimes all we need to do is stop and realize that half of the things that we are doing are actually not what really matters to us. In this episode, Yessica proposes a series of questions that will help us become aware of what we are doing and why we are doing it. With this awareness, we then become ready to ask the real questions: What is important in my life? What needs to change?

The way we tell our stories, the language we use and how we build a believe system is going to take us in two possible directions. On the one hand our story might open us to "I am enough" or "I am not enough". 

In this episode Yessica talks about how to realize when we are falling into a scarcity mindset, how to notice when our inner narrative is taking us down the path of "I am not enough". Also, in this episode we learn how to shift and put our focus on abundance and generosity from an "I am enough" mindset.

When we are seeking inner peace we think that we need to do something else, be someone else or create something new. There’s a way towards inner peace that has more to do with “doing less” and “being more”. In this episode Yessica will challenge you to learn to simply be even when thoughts come and go. To be what we are in this moment without resisting our reality. What is taking away your peace? If you could be present in this moment without that thought what would be possible?

What do we do when stress overwhelms us? Take a moment to think, what area in your life is where you feel most stressed? Have you noticed when you are with certain people that there's no space to breathe? Can you notice when you judge what this does to you?

Our brain is wired to judge what's good or bad as a survival mechanism. The problem today is that we judge and compare ourselves and create a continuous narrative that is harmful for us. 

In this episode we talk about judging and transforming our perspective and inner narrative into a healthy one where we can open up to love. 

The book tha is mentioned in this episode is "The extraordinary gift of being ordinary" by Dr. Ronald Seagel Amazon link
