Why can’t we make the very things that we want habitual right away? I mean we want to change for good, right? So why don't we just do whatever it is that we want to do?? Scientist have been looking into this and some of the findings are astounding. You'd be surprised that an intrinsic reward for doing the behavior that you want to make habitual is actually better than picking an external reward. Today we're gonna look at this and a couple of other ways to make whatever you want habitual easier and more enjoyable by asking yourself one pivotal question. In this episode we will learn: ~ What can I ask myself to redirect my motivation toward my desired goal? ~ What is an intrinsic reward and how does it make me stick to my plan in reaching my goals? ~ A meditation experience using the mantra so hum with the musical stylings courtesy of The Sonic YogiMeditation Music by Sonic Yogi Deep Sleep With Singing Bowls Pythagorean Dream Listen to Sonic Yogi on: Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music Watch Sonic Yogi’s Ted Talk Interesting Mentions: Heartwood Retreat Center : location for Cheri’s Georgia Mountain Retreats The Host for this podcast: Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW The Stress Therapist and Author Join Cheri Flake on her Next Meditation And Yoga Retreat!

Everybody seems to be over New Year's Resolutions and I understand why! The way that we have typically gone about them sets us up for failure. The kicker is, one of the very best ways to relieve stress is to finally get something into your life that you really want. Think about it: What would your life look like, how would you feel if you were actually doing the things and becoming the things that you wanted to be, do, have and experience? But it's so hard! And it feels so bad when we fail time and time again! Remember, when we feel bad about anything that we want to change in our lives our brain goes out of his way to avoid that thing for us and the next thing you know it's January 25 and that thing that you wanted to do or change has come and gone. Today, I am going to give you a couple of tips on a different look at New Year's resolutions and how you can get them into your life and feel great about them and actually achieve them it's actually kind of fun! In this episode we will learn: ~ What The New Year's Resolutionist’s Mistake is and how to avoid it ~ A different way to look at New Year's resolutions and how to make them fun while actually achieving them ~ A meditation experience about how to manifest your New Year desires with the musical stylings courtesy of The Sonic Yogi Meditation Music by Sonic Yogi Deep Sleep With Singing Bowls Pythagorean Dream Listen to Sonic Yogi on: Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music Watch Sonic Yogi’s Ted Talk The Host for this podcast: Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW The Stress Therapist and Author Join Cheri Flake on her Next Meditation And Yoga Retreat!

Thanksgiving is coming up and strangely, on this beautiful day of gratitude and peace sometimes that’s the LAST thing we’re feeling! Often stuck with difficult people or long histories of discord and often, grief and loss, it’s tough to stay in a “place of gratitude.” Eye roll here…right? Today, we are going to learn a few ways to stay in a thankful place and talk about what helps. Also, we will learn the “three gates” and how they can work over the Thanksgiving holiday. Then, we will do a gratitude meditation together. In this episode we will learn: ~What the three gates are and how they can help us stay in a thankful place~Easy ways to keep gratitude on the heart and mind.~Thank you!
