In this episode, I share a few lessons from traveling in Costa Rica for 3 weeks with my partner Kate. https://www.instagram.com/katewhite0404

Remember, you can get quite profound insights when you visit other countries.

So, keep working on yourself in these turbulent times and elevating others. You are a linchpin; others and society deserve to hear your cheerful voice.

So, what does Costa Rica offer?


Natural Beauty: Costa Rica is famous for its natural beauty, lush rainforests, and pristine beaches. It is home to various flora and fauna, including sloths, monkeys, and toucans. You can explore the country’s national parks, go on a wildlife tour, or simply relax on one of its many beaches.
Family-friendly Fun: Costa Rica is one of the safest countries for family travel, and kids of all ages adore the myriad activities and outdoor adventures. Many hotels and resorts cater to family travelers with kid menus, onsite play areas, and special activities designed for children .
Surfing: Costa Rica is a surfer’s paradise, with some of the best waves in the world. The country’s Pacific coast is home to some of the most famous surf spots, including Tamarindo, Jaco, and Santa Teresa. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, there’s a wave for everyone.
Freediving - freediving is a great way to push performance, but also explore the depths of your mind.

- you can visit Rica Freedivers in Quepos.

- If you prefer quiet water and get as seasick as me, visit the quiet golf, sign up for the freediving course with my friend Chris Hanhimaki, and follow him for his tranquil and loving posts on Instagram. :-)

4 Key Pauses to Grow / Be Bold

— Let today remind you to be brave in the next season of life! It would help if you sometimes paused to realize what is essential for you and where you stand. I need it; you need it; we all need it.



Every day is a good day to grow and be bold in big things, but especially in things that are true to ourselves.

Today is a great day to be fearless despite obstacles and cloudy economic horizons.

Pause and breathe, look boldly ahead, and make those projects you love happen! GO AT IT one step at a time.



1. PAUSE TO REFLECT…

👉 It is true, yet, many times, you do not embrace those moments and try to push those difficult emotions away.

😅 Dr. Joe Dispenza says that we learn more about ourselves when uncomfortable.


Embrace mental toughness and resilience as the need to adjust to heavier loads and neglect the inner uprising and unrest.
Do not let only your analytical mind guide us too often and brush out the fear, anxiety, and anger emotions away. Understand them, learn from them.
Doing what is necessary and constantly being switched on might take you far…but is it always the best approach?

Sometimes pushing yourself to go further is necessary, but sometimes, breaking your routine and going with the flow is what you need right now, different from what you WANT.

Give yourself some more grace this year, laugh more, and get pushing HARD when you feel like it. When you do not, it is OK to rest… You are playing the long game.



2. PAUSE AND REST!

👉If you need to rest, it is OK. TAKE YOUR TIME, even for your mental health!

You are not a failure, even if you are not going fast as you would expect. Do not compare yourself to others, colleagues, crowds, or celebrities. You are unique; you are YOU.

Your self-worth and identity are not tied to completing a project, being on time, or always overdelivering. It is a never-ending hubris. How much money we earn feeds our ego with external validation and neglects the primary purpose of serving others and being a role model — lighting up the people around us.

REAL self-worth is about the courage to dig deeper into the inner world and grow our wisdom, become a kinder human, and make this world better.

You might lose the nerve, commitment, or trust when a deal does not go through, but that is not the end… Something even BETTER will come your way! Admitting how you feel is the highest act of heroism.

You should call it a day and start again tomorrow when you feel disappointed. Or take five, as professional teams do. You should talk to a friend or listen to something motivational. But do not brush over your emotions…The only way is to face them head-on with kindness.



3. PAUSE AND APPRECIATE

👉 Beating yourself down slows your progress even more. You can get even more frustrated, which becomes a bottleneck for seeing clearly.

Being bold means going for the pain, staying with it, AND holding space, not just brushing it off.
