In this episode, Corissa dives a little deeper into the mind and reminds us that “the voice in your head is not you”. We have approximately 60,000 thoughts a day on average & ~95% of those thoughts are subconscious thoughts that are not “our own”. Our personal perspectives, beliefs, values, and opinions are programmed from ages 0-7 years, and they only strengthen as we get older with each “story” we tell ourselves to confirm our own beliefs & opinions.This voice in our head is often unkind & negative. This voice mostly brings us thoughts created from fear, overwhelm, insecurity, self-doubt, and more. But why? Why can’t our brain reflect our deepest desires and project thoughts of confidence when we’re out in the world “doing life”...?Tune in to the episode to find out WHY you should separate yourself from your thoughts & HOW to move forward and live the life you truly desire to live. Leave this episode inspired to WALK WITH FEAR rather than continue letting the FEAR WALK YOU.________________SHOW NOTES:2:00 - References to episodes 2 & 3 - We think an average of 60,000 thoughts in a day2:40 - Why don’t our education systems teach us how to master our minds from pre-K to college and beyond?3:00 - Our thoughts create our feelings.

In this episode, Corissa shares her experiences with overeating, binge-eating, and weight gain during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Listen to this episode to hear how she found freedom from food and stopped binging & overeating during the holidays. You'll leave with this episode no longer feeling alone with some tips to help you get through your Thanksgiving feeling more in control and mentally FREE.Website: www.corissalulu.comEmail: [email protected]: @corissaluluApply for 1:1 Coachinghttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSIK6LnFNP0mLcSDTZxtu_oS2QsGFiL_Qb6akrwMER_zaJWw/viewform?usp=sf_link

In this episode, Corissa discusses how it is totally normal to experience both positive AND negative circumstances in life. The idea of finding 100% happiness and avoiding all negative emotions is not reality... even though we are conditioned to believe it is possible through the endless fairytales & happy endings we've grown up seeing in movies & on television.We are meant to experience *both* “good” AND “bad” feelings & emotions in life. With practice & awareness, we can learn how to be at peace with our negative emotions and learn how to manage uncomfortable feelings rather than ignore them. When we ignore negative emotion, it only bites us in the ass in the end.To accept and allow yourself to FEEL negative emotion is to find true freedom, as long as we don’t sit in the negative emotion too long.Listen to this episode if you want to lessen your anxieties and find more peace in your daily life.  INTERESTED IN 1:1 COACHING WITH CORISSA?
