    Silence Your Thinking and Be Truly Present with Your Life

    Today on the show, we talk about the soul truth that ‘all is well’ and how to live from that truth even when all isn’t so well. We talk about what it means to live like a child—excited, alive, and trusting that she is part of something bigger. And we discuss the greatest obstacle to living with this sense of trust—our thinking that’s usually driven by an overactive safety instinct on the lookout for danger in a relatively safe world. Tune into the episode and walk away with simple ways you can be truly present during the holiday season so it’s a time of joy, connection, and happy memories. And if it’s a not so happy time for you, you may find just what you need to move forward with grace.

    Approaching the End of Year with a Sense of Abundance

    Today on the show, we talk about autonomy and what it really means to be free in a world where our locus of control is actually quite limited.  We talk about emotional freedom, about shoulds and have-tos, and how our minds can keep us trapped in feelings and behaviors that shrink our experience of life and don’t bring out the best in us. As always, Homaira will guide you through a reflective process to approach life from a sense of abundance, joy and creativity, rather than lack or inadequacy.  Tune into the episode and find guidance in your own knowing so you experience this season—and life—for what they are: opportunities to love, laugh, enjoy, and grow. And join us on our  free calls  on Zoom where we work through the challenges that get in the way of us doing so.  Free gatherings on Zoom: https://homairakabir.com/monthly-gathering Individual Coaching: https://homairakabir.com/individual-coaching/ The Book, 'Goodbye Perfect: How To Stop Pleasing, Proving and Pushing For Others… and Live For Yourself’: https://a.co/d/hcypvpZ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homaira.kabir Facebook: https://facebook.com/TheGoodbyePerfectProject
