We are made of energy! Maintaining and protecting our energy is vital. Its okay to set boundaries regarding our energy, who we engage with and how much energy we invest. The energy of those around us can have a positive or negative impact. We can experience energy in many ways, from attending a concert, or festival, to feeling the effects of a negative person, or even the heightened stress of taking a test. Its important to be aware of our energy, not only by what we project but also by what accept.

At some point in our past we may experienced a financial trauma maybe even as far back as childhood. Understanding sometimes these experiences around money can set into motion a whole plethora of limited beliefs and can initiate a negative relationship to money, making it hard to envision what a positive attitude regarding money might feel like. Putting these things in a different perspective can help us develop a more positive outlook and see more possibility.

Much of the time our brain stays in a beta brain wave state, which can feel very chaotic and scattered. We often stay in this mode of worry and stress without realizing the impact it has our bodies. Understanding how our brain works and realizing that staying in constant fight or flight mode can lead to exhaustion. In this episode we talk about the relationship between our mind and body and how to get out of survival mode..

Adaptability is a valuable skill. We sometimes face unexpected challenges and it is important to understand our power through our ability to adapt and accept the things that we can not change. Moving beyond our attachment to how we think things should be and strengthening our ability to become more resilient.

Our brain believes what we tell it! In this episode we talk about how the brain does not have a true concept of time because in truth we can revisit a memory or even visit a planned future event in our mind and bring ourselves into feelings and emotions that are created at the time of the event as though we are experiencing it in the now.

When we immerse ourselves in gratitude we are creating the reality of how we perceive the external events that happen in our lives. Coming from this elevated emotion helps us to make better decisions and bring positive change to our lives. By doing this we are setting our own frequency and in doing so we are projecting our energy instead of absorbing the energy of others. We set the precedents for what we experience no matter what kinds of challenges arise.

When we are setting goals we are sometimes oblivious to the changes that we have to make within ourselves in order to get us to a place of being able to go for our dreams and goals. We have to determine what is keeping us from getting into the action phase of our plan. Observing our own behaviors and discovering what it is in within ourselves that prevent us, the habits that we create and maintain that do not serve our higher purpose. This is the precursor to any plan we make. It is through gradual changes we are able to view ourselves as capable of making the necessary changes and our ability to sustain them.

In this episode we talk about rediscovering your inner child and celebrating that free spirit within. We see the light in the eyes of a child and hear the joy that emanates through their laughter and it becomes contagious. Celebrating our inner child is a way of bringing back the wonder and lightheartedness that is sometimes missing in our adult lives. We often stay in serious mode so much of the time wrapped up in our thoughts of responsibilities and daily routines. It is an essential part of our mental health to laugh and embrace those joyful moments.

When we are faced with moments of uncertainty or situations arise that cause us to react with a highly emotional response our body gives us clues as a kind of prelude to what is coming. Learning to pay attention and bring that physiological response into our awareness can be helpful. By identify those clues we are better able to understand our emotional response and become better prepared to handle those moments and help us to be more healthy.
