Ever feel like there’s a daily battle between your best self and… well, the other one? What if winning was as simple as choosing which one to feed? 🤔 

In this powerful episode of Be the Sun, Not the Salt, Dr. Harry Cohen and Connie Fontaine unpack Chapter 28: “Practice, Practice, Practice”—a transformative look at the one habit that changes everything.

Why should you tune in?

  • Discover the ancient parable of the two wolves and what it reveals about mastering your inner world.
  • Learn the crucial difference between honoring your negative feelings and accidentally pouring lighter fluid on them (a game-changer for emotional regulation!).
  • Unpack the science of practice—how you can literally rewire your brain to make positivity your automatic reflex.
  • Get inspired to build your “heliotropic muscle” and understand why a tiny mental shift from “I got to” to “I get to” can change your entire day.

Being heliotropic isn’t about perfection; it’s about practice. Whether you’re trying to build better habits, manage stress, or simply live a more positive life, this conversation offers the “how” behind the “what.”

Ready to start feeding the right wolf? Hit play for a powerful dose of inspiration.
