“Answers emerge in the pause, taking that breath, putting your hand on your heart. And breathe.” – (Lauren) 5:24.
In this episode, you’ll learn the importance of pausing, listening to your inner self, and ignoring the outside voices. Lauren offers simple tools helping you make the best decisions for you and, more importantly, how to act on them once they’ve been made. The answers lie within, and fear often keeps you from finding them. You have to name them to claim them; when you do, they’ll magically disappear!
“I also never discuss a situation or make a decision without sleeping on it.” (Lauren), 6:38.
Overcoming Fear: "Is fear stopping you from making a decision? Is there some kind of fear? [...] Because if fear keeps you from taking action, Then name it because you name it to claim it. And naming and claiming the fear takes the power away." – (Lauren), 10:27.
Listen and learn why you should never make an important decision without first sleeping on it, why hand journaling works best, and why staying aligned with what you feel is right for you is a must! Don’t skip this chance to gain practical tools to help you become a strong decision-maker and begin living a richer, more fulfilled life! It’ll only take a few minutes, but those few minutes will be some of the most powerful you’ve ever experienced, and you’re sure to revisit these tools again and again!
