Are Your Excuses Reasons or Reasons Excuses? (Solo)

Often, we confuse our excuses to be reasons and our reasons to be excuses. We are often certain that the excuse is really a defining reason for us, but we fear it because it might force us to work on something we really don't want to, or face an issue we'd rather not deal with. if we really, truly want to change our lifestyle to move out of a rut, whether mental health, relationships, trying to attract more positivity in our lives, we need to ask the basic question, how much do we really want that change?The amount that we want it is going to be the determining factor of how we will succeed. we will then be on a path moving forward, which can change and change again to something else and then does something else, but change is good. Staying stagnant isn't.Similar to like an onion that we have to peel and peel them with different channels, we keep getting deeper and deeper. Naomi Hope, friend who was interviewed previously, went through a crazy transformation in her life. Many crazy transformations. So many. She taught the idea a few years ago of "living alive". We are entitled to down time, sad moments, anxiety, frustration, resentment and many other things, because we're a work in progress until 120. Its critical to change a little bit of our habits, which turns into a lot of bit of our habits, our routines, our boundaries, and we are working now towards living more alive.We certainly don't enjoy the negativity, so why stay in it? Why not make that change? It all boils down to how much we really, truly want to change, and when we really are ready to change, we take that next step forward towards healing.Are you ready to start moving forward?Join us on the Ignite Your Life Retreat by clicking here, https://hopetorecharge.com/retreat, and see how much forward you can go.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!
