As adults, we tend to do things that have past familiarity.

We date people with the same interests and quirks, sign up for co-ed sports we played in high school, or stay in the same job because it feels safe.

Nothing wrong with that.

However, if you have tried something new and, upon the first sign of resistance, tapped out and never looked back, I invite you to take a moment and question why.

The Ziva Technique -- a powerful trifecta of mindfulness, meditation, and manifesting tools.

Have you ever not acted on something because you weren't sure you were ready? Or good enough? Or just terrified of taking the leap?

(Yeah, me too.)

Life is too short not to live the life you want.

Have you ever got a new gadget that was so complicated that you definitely needed the instructions and/or owner's manual?

That's sometimes how I feel about my body. One minute it's unstoppable, pain-free, and resilient. The next minute, I'm learning about a new allergy or discovering that the older I get, the less I can tolerate one cocktail.

❤️The only opinion of your body that matters is your own.

❤️Your body is your life vessel that you can either fill with love or hate.

❤️Love will lead to acceptance.

❤️Love will lead to change if that is what you want.

❤️Love will open the doors to new possibilities for you.

"Shoulding yourself" comes from psychologist Clayton Barbeau. It means putting pressure on yourself to do or be something based on what you think you're supposed to do or be. Whatever comes after the should is an obligation, not necessarily a genuine desire. When you over-should, it's often coming from a place of lack, shame and inadequacy. Insecurities and anxiety can go up, and your sense of self-worth can go down.

The brain doesn't like to be wrong.

Every time your brain decides on something (negative or positive), your brain will spend time looking for reasons to back that thought up & seeking opportunities to get it. It's called Psychological Consistency.

So naturally, your words matter.

Achievers and those who give up too soon have the same goals. The difference is that the goal crushers practice three things:

Setting up a system they love

Connecting to their "why" daily

Ditching "I'll be happy when" syndrome

Is there a difference between Grateful & Thankful? Yep, there sure is!

When you start to hear yourself saying things with a "but," it's most likely because you are ambivalent and have two parts of yourself butting heads. (See what I did there?).

What if you didn't let your "but" win?

What if, instead, you competed with this 'but," this excuse that keeps you from taking action?

A word that can profoundly shift your mindset and see the world in a new, healthier light.
