On this episode we look at how designing a valued-direction and using it as a compass can guide you through any of these situations. Together, we don't just explore it, I walk you through an exercise and help you literally design a unique compass for yourself. A value-directed compass that insures a peaceful and productive life.

Am I at peace about my life direction? Will my choices leave me with questions and regrets? On this episode we discuss a value-directed life. What it is and is not. What stops us from choosing it, and how to make sure you don't keep yourself stuck on a road that's not fulfilling. www.ashleywaknine.com/episode206/

We define ourselves and act from our labels. But what happens when that label is self-limiting? How do we change the story we are writing and live as who we really are?

We swim in our thoughts and experience riptides of emotion that can make us feel like we're drowning. On this episode we explore the current of thoughts and emotions. We talk about what we can do in these situations and practice a mindfulness exercise to learn how.

We basically have a GPS system between our ears that we call a mind. It can be amazing and it can send us in circles or down a dead end road. The question of whether to be guided by it is: how is that working for me? On this episode, we explore how the mind uses language to breath meaning into thoughts. We talk about how to take thoughts with a grain of salt and take action from that compass inside our heart.

What happens when we are unwilling to experience pain? How do we keep ourselves from peace and productivity by resisting it? On this episode we talk about clean vs dirty pain and what the words "willingness" and "acceptance" actually mean. https://www.ashleywaknine.com/

What do people do about difficult thoughts and feelings? How do we respond to our inner turbulence and where does it take us? This week we explore this fundamental question and it's impact on peace and productivity in our lives. https://www.ashleywaknine.com/
