Hi friends! In today's episode I'm chatting about how to switch your mindset from "why is this happening to me?" to "how is this happening FOR me?". It's something you've heard time and time again but I was reminded recently of how important it is to go back to basics sometimes. Back to basics meaning reflecting on your core values, re-listening to your favourite podcasts, staying on top of your routines and doing things that make you feel good, etc. For awhile, I felt like I really had my ish together and then life got busy, as it does, and a lot of my self care, routines, and just things I normally do to take care of myself flew out the window. I know you've been there too - so this episode is for you!

Hi friends! In today's episode I talk about something that's been SO crucial for me when it comes to manifesting the life of my dreams - visualization and "acting as if". Our bodies literally do not know the difference between the real and the imagined. Think about it this way: when us as humans are in danger, we have a stress response (fight or flight). Chemicals like adrenalin and cortisol get our blood pumping and give us temporary strength. Even when you are just imagining danger, or even watching it on TV or in movies, your body produces the same stress response. You might feel a head rush, tingling, your heart might pound faster, etc. The same chemistry is produced in our bodies whether the danger is real or imagined. When it comes to our positive experiences, it's the same! When you visualize exactly how you want to feel and who you want to be, you can literally bring yourself into a higher vibration by feeling all those amazing feelings now. You are what you attract - so BE that person now.
