Hey, everyone! It's me again, and today I'm recording a solo episode to explain why you should listen to my podcast, what topics I'll cover in the coming weeks, and to share my personal story. So, let's get started with a short intro. My name is Crina, and I've always been interested in pursuing my dreams and learning about how others have made their dreams a reality.In today's discussion, we touch on the following topics:My raw and vulnerable story Why I Gave Up on My Multimillion-Dollar BusinessWhy Dream Again My biggest learnings so farMy biggest learnings so far are:1 Cut out distractions, especially when you want to listen to yourself. Even if you're listening to a podcast, sometimes you still hide from yourself. Take a break from social media and phone calls, and be alone with your thoughts. You can start with just 10 minutes a day.2 Be mindful of who you are and who you surround yourself with. As the saying goes, "You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." Don't expect a miracle if you want to be happy and cheerful, but sad and negative people surround you.3 Self-love and being connected with yourself are crucial. Before you love anyone else in your life, focus on yourself first. You can't love others if you don't know how to love yourself.4 Praying and meditation are essential; I'm still working on this. What has helped me is a WhatsApp group with some of my good friends where we meditate daily and share our progress. Praying is something that depends on your discipline and priority.5 Gratitude is associated with a host of mental and physical benefits. Studies have shown that feeling thankful can improve sleep, mood, and immunity and decrease depression, anxiety, chronic pain difficulties, and disease risk. If a pill could do all this, everyone would take it.6 Physical health can support your mental health. You can improve your mental health by eating healthy, including plenty of raw and fresh veggies and fruits, exercising or sports, sweating once daily, and sleeping 8 hours daily.7 Send out good vibes around you. If you're constantly jealous and comparing yourself to others, your dream will run away, and you will attract negativity.8 Organize a visual dream map, but be honest with yourself and write everything in detail. I promise you; this can be magical.9 Do it! Don't question whether it worked or not. You know how to do it differently next time if it doesn't.10 Enjoy the journey because you never know what tomorrow will bring.Thank you for listening to my first solo episode. I felt like I put my soul into this episode, and I want to promise you that this platform is sincere, and we can discover together how to dream again and become healthier, happier, and more beautiful.I'm looking forward to hearing your story and your dreams. Please don't be afraid; we are here together. If you know somebody who needs to hear this, please share it with your friends, family, and community. And don't forget; it's time to dream again!

Are you a curious person? Well, I think that this new Podcast episode will bring you even more curiosity in your life. The mind lives in the past and the future. But the body is always in the present; the body is always there. So, the first technic to release stress and heal anxiety is to be curious. You ask yourself with curiosity, what exactly am I feeling? Why am I feeling this way? What is happening? For example, when you sleep and think there is a monster under your bed, turn on the light and get curious. Check to see if there is a monster under the bed. Then, if there is no monster under your bed, why am I feeling like this? This is just one example I learned after my conversation with the fantastic Anil. Anil Chandwani is the founder of the reset code, a process focused on individual wellness, health, success, and fulfillment.For almost 20 years, Anil has helped men, women, leaders, and celebrities worldwide grow in mental clarity and decision-making, relational communication, emotional and creative expressions, and life purpose.Are you still curious about more? Then see below more important topics that I touched on during my conversation with Anil. - What is anxiety?- What is the difference between panic attacks and anxiety attacks? - How can I treat anxiety? - Do I need a doctor, or can I do it alone? (Pills topic). Three ways to reduce anxiety practical exercise takeaways.I am opening a conversation with you, and it will mean the world to me if you share with friends and family that you think this topic can help. Only together as a county can we make a change around us.If you want to reach AnilWebsite https://theresetcode.com/anil-chandwani/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theresetcode/?hl=en

But, for those who are new here, Omnes is a nonprofit platform created together with a beautiful group of people that brings people together every day to experience connectedness through daily meditations guided by impressive teachers from around the world.

That's how we all get back in touch with the source of what we are. Do you want to live the life of your dreams?
