Ever catch yourself feeling a little off your game? š¤ In this episode of Be the Sun, Not the Salt, Dr. Harry Cohen and Connie Fontaine explore Chapter 24: āRemember Who You Areā - your gentle nudge to reconnect with your best self, live authentically, and shine a little brighter every day.
Why does remembering who you are matter?
- š Identity shapes action: As James Clear puts it inĀ Atomic Habits, every action you take is a vote for the person you want to become. When you act in line with your core values, everything else flows.
- š§āāļø Be heliotropic: Showing up as your true, positive self not only uplifts you but everyone around you-a triple win for personal growth, mindfulness, and positive relationships.
- š” Small moments, big impact: From picking up litter to pausing before a snarky comment, the little choices you make each day reinforce who you are and who you want to be.
Harry and Connie get real about the challenge of consistency-why itās easy to know what your best self would do, but not always easy to do it. They break down the āfive-to-one ruleā (how negative moments sting way more than positive ones), and share practical stories about patience, mindfulness, and the magic of even the smallest acts of kindness.
Your gentle nudge: Next time youāre in a tough spot, ask yourself: āWhat would my best, most heliotropic self do right now?ā Then do that. Itās simple, powerful, and the secret to living a sunnier, more fulfilling life.
Perfect for anyone searching for inspiration on personal growth, living authentically, mindfulness, and how to be your best self-even on the tough days. Tune in for heartfelt stories, actionable wisdom, and your weekly reminder to remember who you are and shine bright! š
