    Listen if you don't have time to meditate but want to live 9 years longer:

    Meditation. That same resistance you just felt when you heard that word? Yep I felt (and often still feel) it too. But the evidence for meditation is so astounding it cannot be ignored. The book I reference is: How to change your mind by producitivery reseracher Chris Bailey if you’d like an even more detailed break down of how the time negative of meditaion works - he shows us how we get back 9 minutes for every 1 minute we meditate when we consider our ability to avoid distractions, stay present, observe our thoughts, include our mental capacity and remain the observer of our thoughts.  The best part? There’s really very little room for error. The whole game is noticing what your mind if full of. Not controling it or trying not to think - just noticing and trying to remain detached from your thoughts either focusing on your breath or a guided meditation.  The app I referred to in the podcast is Insight Timer: It’s got guided medititations, music and tons of stunning guided meditations.  The benefits of gaining back time, reducing your distractions, improving your mental capacity have a direct influence on your thoughts, feelings and perceptions. The number one takeaway from this podcast is to focus on consistency over quantity. Rather do 2 minutes every day than an hour on Saturdays.  It continues to be one of the habits that I’ve been practising the longest that I attritute much of my ability to stay present and squeeze the juice out of life to.  Share this with someone who could stand to benefit from gaining more conscious time back in their life and get to choose the state like to exist in 53% of their lives.  I hope you found that helpful and I look forward to sharing the details of a dopamine detox on the next episode.  Now go out there and do something AUDACIOUS (like sit and focus on nothing but your breath for 2 minutes in order to gain actual years back in your life).  ⁠If you'd like to find me on other platforms find me on: ⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠ ⁠Medium ⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Substack ⁠

    What to do if you don't like yourself:

    Holding onto the parts of ourselves that no longer serve us feels like our protective ego may just want to hold onto an old belief that once kept us safe. If our silly human brain can’t tell the difference between reality and our thoughts (like how we can have a full blown panic attack over something imaginary) then it’s possible that we could embody - with our brains - other personas as our own.  Jackets - The different personas you can try on. You can step into the mindset and behaviour patterns of someone who has made what you’re trying to get right (going to gym, eating well, financial literacy) part of their identity.  Once it becomes who you are instead of something you do - you lose the fear of falling off the wagon. It becomes you when you have insight into the selfish reason(s) that drive you. The cognitive dissonance of NOT doing even something hard (like going to gym) becomes easier than having to sit with the discomfort of behaving in a way incongruent with who you are.  Conviction affirmations were gold to me when I first started my self-growth and I wanted to embody a lot of the personas I wasn’t yet. These are super simple it’s a series of completing the sentence: I’m the person who:  Wakes up and goes to gymNever pushes snoozePrioritises sleep as if she’s getting paid for itAlways shows up when it matters most Get creative and be specific - remember how powerful language is.  If you think someone was born liking exercise, meal prep, meditation or even being in front of the camera than you are sorely mistaken. The thing about audacious people is that they don’t have the same fear of being bad at stuff because they’re practised at being bad before being good. It’s an expected part of the journey.  They don’t fear “falling off the wagon” because they’re not on one. They understand that they’re both the dancer and the choreographer and that life is just a dance.  So as we go into this next week of jumping in before we’re ready lets practise embodying someone we admire for whatever we’re currently working on and reinforce with your conviction affirmation. Expect the challenge, expect the hard, expect the discomfort - those are the directions.  If you're already enjoying what you're hearing I'd love to know about it and how to make it more impactful and useful for you. If there's someone that might stand to benefit from hearing this then do us both a solid by sharing it. ⁠If you'd like to find me on other platforms find me on: ⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠ ⁠Medium ⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Substack ⁠ Now go out there, find your selfish why, embody someone you admire, use your conviction affitmations - be bold, be brave and of course be AUDACIOUS Namaste until next week x
