The world is loud.  But what if your mind didn’t have to be? I know it sounds like a stretch – especially given the state of things lately! – but what if you could enjoy a sense of peace even if no one around you was?  A-ha moment: most of our mind spin isn’t ours!  It’s simply our awareness of the world around us.    We all have a spidey-sense (that 6th sense of what’s going on below the surface of life).  And it runs amuck sometimes. As a result, we get too tuned into what’s around us and develop un-healthy patterns like: Fulfilling other’s needs above your own Overwhelmed to the point of inaction Living up to what's expected of you (since that's all you can see) Maintaining the status-quo In my view, the mis-use and lack of education on this spidey sense is the main culprit of a busy, distracted mind. The collective static of the world seeps inside us. It crosses the threshold of being someone else's and becomes your own. This is so lightning fast that it's hard to catch before it occurs!   I’ve spent YEARS tuning my own inner navigation system away from these un-healthy patterns. And educating myself on what I was aware of beyond their surface appearance. Not letting things cross that threshold to become something that I had to carry for others.  And not having to protect myself from it either. I’d love to help you do the same! Tune in to discover: #1 way we let the outside world dictate our choices – and how to stop it Ways to handle your awareness and sensitivity in intense moments Mindset shift that will immediately let you decompress and re-connect to yourself How to come out of reaction into action (this one may surprise you!) Surprising a-ha on how to reclaim your creative power in life (it starts with a quiet mind!)
