Think of every circumstance that you thought was the most challenging. Those moments that seemed to drag on forever. When you look back on them now, you realized that they were just moments in time…not permanent. That moment in childhood when you were caught lying or cheating…how did that change you? That moment when you were betrayed by a friend or lover…how did that change you? The moment when you injured yourself doing something foolish…how did that change you? There are challenging moments, but the point is that when you look back, it is not the challenge that defines the moment, but the lesson you took away from the challenge that defines that moment. Time is the greatest teacher.

What is your stress response? What is your stress response? What is your “go to” response? What is your “go to” response? Do you respond differently in externally stressful circumstances?

In this podcast episode, we focus on all of the things we have already done, so there is not room for regret about the things that we did not complete...

Think of the most compelling feelings you have had in your life. The moments of certainty that drove you toward a decision or action. The moment you fell in love—the initial attraction was a feeling that drove you towards action.

The moment your instinct told you to stop and turn around or to keep pressing forward. Everything starts with a feeling. We feel more than we see.

And where there is presence, there is never an absence...

In a world where everyone wants their opinion heard, listening often feels like a lost art. Take a moment to consider how much CIVIL DISCOURSE we have with the people around us? With our Selves? We know that the conversation that we hear in our mind impacts our emotional state, but how can we train that voice to be more helpful than hurtful?
