If you want to hit any goal in your life, you have to know how to recover faster from setbacks & frustrations.
The other day, I had a big setback and I was emotional about it. I cried. I got mad. I spent hours focused on how I didn’t understand another person’s behavior or thought process.
Then, I had a bit of an “aha” moment. I came to the realization of a powerful perspective shift that I now think of as my “drama shut off” valve and I’m sharing it with you on today’s episode!

In October 2019, our relationship with Thrive Market changed. They decided to put their marketing dollars in avenues outside of podcasting but we still think they’re a good choice if you’re looking to save money on health & personal care products.

My friend! It’s our final day of this week of mental & emotional spring cleaning!
Think more simply.
Much of the noise and distraction in our minds and nearly all of our overwhelm stems from the fact that we’re just overcomplicating it.
We’re pulling in the irrelevant past and mulling over the uncertain future.
Be here now.
One of the quotes I’ve been using incessantly of late is:
“Birds don’t need an ornithologist in order to fly.”
~ Mark Nepo
Said more simply: birds can take flight without an expert explaining the mechanics of flying.
You can create create change without understanding your thoughts or patterns.
You can make a great choice when you’re emotional.
You can make a great choice without knowing what you’ll do tomorrow or trusting that you’ll keep your word.
Stay in the moment. Be where your feet are. Win the moment you’re in.
Nothing more, nothing less.
The rest is a distraction.
This is a tool you can use again and again, moment after moment, struggle after struggle.
It’s always available to you, and always a powerful redirect. However, it’s power comes from USING it, not from knowing it, so you have to put it into practice in your life.
The more you put into it, the more you’ll get out of it.

Are you doing the work? Putting in the effort? Just like your closet won’t clean itself, you can’t read about refreshing your mind and expect it to take hold. You have to do the work and it is SO worth it.
Today’s tip comes to you from my dear friend Brooke Thomas – you met her on episode 589 of the Primal Potential podcast.
Take it away, Brooke!
When it comes to cleaning out the clutter of our minds, I’ve noticed there is always ONE thing above anything else that keeps us from living the life we truly desire.
I’ve talked to thousands of women who are looking for something more out of their life and it’s the same thing for all of them regardless of age, income or background.
I’m talking about FEAR. It’s not serving you and it’s time to let it go! Fear of criticism, fear of failure, and maybe, fear of success! You’re probably thinking ‘whoa! I can’t just throw out the fears that have been holding me back for all these years! ‘ You’re right. It’s not that easy. But you know what you CAN do today?
You CAN JUST DO IT AFRAID!
Truly overcoming our fears takes intention and purposeful work. BUT ANYONE CAN CHOOSE to do something even though they are afraid. It is the first step in getting you to the other side.
TIP: CHOOSE to take the FEELING of FEAR and turn it into EXCITEMENT towards walking into your destiny! 5-4-3-2-1-GO!
CHALLENGE: Today I want you to do something that scares you.
It could be something like:
Make that phone call you’ve been putting off
Start a new hobby because YOU want to
Try something you’ve always wanted to try but were too worried what other people would think.
Tell someone what you’ve been too afraid to say
Say YES to that big project.
Decide to go for that big dream that’s been whispering to you.
JUST DO IT AFRAID.
Trust in the life that was MEANT FOR YOU!
I promise you will feel so FREE once you take that step. You’ll feel your confidence rise every time you do it.
You can watch a video I’ve done on acting through fear here.
