September 12, 20259 Life Lessons You Need to Learn
This week: 9 Life Lessons You Need to Learn
On this episode, Tom and Brett discuss the top 9 life lessons you need to learn and how therapy can help facilitate this learning.
What you should learn in life or through therapy-
· You are what you think
· Emotions are not problems they are signals
· Anger means your boundaries were crossed
· Anxiety means you are living in the future and you need to come back to the present moment
· Habits shape your life not motivation, change your habits, change your life
· Your past is a book, read it but don’t live in it
· If you are triggered by others that is a reflection it is something you haven’t healed inside or something you haven’t full accepted yet
· Control is a myth, the only power you have are the decisions that you make
· You are the architect of your life, it is your design, so make it beautiful
Actionable steps: Be Kind and Be Respectful to one another.
