I am thrilled to discuss a result of my joy practice: Freedom, or as I prefer to call it, "freeing myself." We often become our worst critics, creating unnecessary hurdles that block our joy. Today, I will share my journey and the unexpected reward of freeing myself from self-imposed expectations.  When our conversations and thoughts revolve around unmet expectations in our business or personal lives, defeat becomes inevitable. Instead, let's focus on joy and freedom from self-inflicted burdens. Life's inevitable drama will persist, but the key lies in our response. What story will you choose to tell yourself? Together, let's embark on a path of joy and freedom. Joy and freedom are within reach for all of us.     

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • [0:42]I introduce and describe "freeing myself," which is directly related to her joy practice

  • [3:16] The changes I have made this year to experience freeing myself

  • [8:29] Seeing the change in my marriage 

  • [11:52] I explore the changes in her faith

  • [14:27] Freedom regarding food and the way I live in my home

  • [16:52] I share why freedom and joy are not related to money

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Many of the reasons that we don't or won't ask for help is because we feel obligated to the person who gives us the support we need.

  • Making changes in our lives is difficult. When it involves a person who may work in our home or someone at work, we often don't confront problems or make a change in personnel because it is much easier to live with the situation.

  • Many people feel if they aren't a morning person, they must act like a morning person to be validated by themselves and others. The idea of not having a leisurely morning because that's what you want and desire is ridiculous.
