64. Discovering Yourself & What You Truly Want Out of Life

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week we’re back with a brand new, laid back episode piggybacking off last week’s replay of “Living Out Loud.” This week we’re talking about</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">loving</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">out loud. Loving yourself, loving the people you surround yourself with, and how you can discover who you are and who you want to be. Plus, what we’re currently reading and watching!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some key takeaways from this week’s episode:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Try this journaling exercise: write down the three words that you want to describe you and how you show up for yourself and others every day. Then ask yourself, on a scale of 1-10, how are you measuring up to those words currently?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">We are often our own worst critic and get in our own way. Next time you find yourself hearing some negative self-talk, think about what someone who really loves you would say to you. They would be kind and encouraging to you, so try to speak that way to yourself as well. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Love out loud! Call the friend you’ve been meaning to reach out to, be open and proud with your romantic relationships, do the things you’ve been holding back on doing. Just be authentic and love yourself and others authentically.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be Powerful with Liz & Lee, formerly Hilliard Studio Podcast, is focused on helping you find your inner power and for us to share our thoughts on society, culture, and current events.
