Are You Underestimating The Power of Your Purpose?

<p>I'll admit it. The day we recorded this episode of The Influencer Podcast, I was in a funky place.</p> <p>Here's the deal: At the time of this recording, I had just made a mistake and missed something important to me for the second time! I was incredibly embarrassed.</p> <p>I started going down the storyline of how I could have handled things differently. I was blaming myself. I was seeing everything through the lens of fear. I was being very hard on myself and creating a lot of unnecessary pain. I kept saying, "What's wrong with you? How could you let this happen? You should be ashamed of yourself!"<br /> ^^ This, my friend, is what I call the misery cycle.</p> <p>It ain't fun. But you can escape this vicious cycle and feel freer than you ever have before. In this live talk, I'll tell you exactly how.</p> <p>But that's not all...</p> <p>I paused and reached for one of my favorite writing practices to use whenever I am hard on myself … and I chose again!</p> <p>I chose to recognize that although this outcome wasn't what I'd hoped for, it was exactly what I needed. It was an opportunity for me to create awareness around my self-criticism and pity, surrender, and be grateful for the new actions and choices I can take.</p> <p>If you tend to be self-critical, intolerant, or hard on yourself, you'll connect to this episode!</p> <p><br /> <strong>You'll Hear:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Why we are so hard ourselves and how to release the negative self-talk</li> <li>How to stop the "misery spin" and learn what you need to</li> <li>The writing practice called the 3 A's that I use to release guilt and shame</li> <li>How to see every experience as a learning opportunity to get closer to love</li> <li>How to give yourself permission to be imperfect and messy</li> </ul> <p><strong>The Questions I leave you with are:</strong><br /> What story are you living by?<br /> What story do you want to live by this year?<br /> Are you underestimating the power of your purpose?</p>
