    Making a Change: How Interrupting a Thought, Emotion, or Habit Leads to Lasting Change

    On today’s episode, we discuss the necessity of interrupting a thought, emotion, or habit in order to break the pattern of living as a past version of ourselves to achieve the change we are after. Tune in to hear: Julie reviews the teachings of Joe Dispenza indicating that who we are is largely the result of what we repeatedly think, feel, and do. Julie goes on to describe that therefore we need to interrupt this loop in order to change that identity and create a new future. Angela shares her personal experience of interrupting one of her habits and the change that has come from it.  Without interruption, you are biologically living in your past. It just takes one small interruption to become a new version of you. We hope you enjoy this conversation and share it with a friend. Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review the show on ITunes/Spotify.
