Examining truth Above Feelings!!

Examining truth Above Feelings!!

In this captivating episode #2, we delve into the profound insights shared by the author of "Voices of My Soul." He unveils a poignant topic coined in one of the chapters titled "Spending My Life Negotiating with Life and Death as if It was a Business." Through this deeply introspective journey, he takes us on an exploration of life's enigmatic twists and turns, grappling with the profound mysteries of existence.

He also carefully commands our attention by showcasing the danger on the need for validation by social media. PSA...Remember, social media can be a powerful tool for connection and self-expression, but it should not define one's self-worth or emotional well-being. Developing a healthy balance between online and offline life is crucial for maintaining a positive and fulfilling outlook.

It's not you-It's Your system!!!!

It's not you-It's Your system!!!!

What's up everyone, welcome back to the 2nd episode series on Atomic Habits book review. In this episode we discuss after achieving the goal we set, now what??.

We are definitely speaking our truth on our flaws while being transformed by this best seller book.

According to James 'If you are having trouble changing your habits ,the problem is your system'.

Sometimes we return to our emotional eating ,we still binge and get off -track, it's  frustrating to say the least.

James Clear identified that doing the right thing must be easiest as possible, the greatest returns are usually delayed.

How  self aware are you ? 

You do not rise to the level of your goals .You fall to the level of your systems.!!

I hope this episode shows you ,you are not alone and you can change, looking forward to hearing your feedback!!!

Your Habits Compound!!

Your Habits Compound!!

What's up Everyone ,Welcome to the this episode series on Atomic Habits  book review by  author @jamesclear.

Have you ever tried  to build a new habit and before you know it you fall back in your old routine?

Is motivation overrated?

Have  you tried to break that negative habit , did not see any results, felt guilty and discouraged after little or no results?

If this is you, I see you!!

This interview is a book review and Collab conversation with friends from Speak Your Truth Podcast .We decided to review  Atomic habits while tracking our daily routines  to  even include  a fitness journey. The results were eye opening ,with the ability to now see the gaps lacking to build higher performing habits. I hope you are patient with yourself and from this become a higher version of yourself by becoming  self aware. As James Clear  coins it, True behavior change is Identity change .You might start a habit because of motivation but the only reason you will stick with one is that it becomes apart of your identity. Improvements are temporary until they become part of who you are.

Send me your comments I would love to hear from you at  finerthoughtscreator@gmail.com

"In life we all experience loss ,whether a loved one dies or when anyone/anything that we loved is no longer in our lives.

We joyfully anticipate the birth of a baby ,spending time reading books and taking classes ,attending baby showers .However when loss occurs ,we are generally unprepared .Many of us ignore it ,or we just assume it won't happen to us. Most of us  live in some state of denial until loss occurs and then we are lost". This is the fascinating Introduction to the book Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief by author Emily Thiroux Threatt.

Emily is a lecturer, author and speaker. She holds a master's degree in English with a concentration in Writing .She has been teaching writing and composition  on the college and university level for over 30 years. During that time she wrote three writing text books .

What do you do when you get a dreaded diagnosis like this?

How can you resurrect your faith when it has been buried with your loved one in the grave?

Why God?....

This can be a dreaded topic for some and rightly so because we have seen the debilitating effects of this disease. We all know at least one person  who is battling or has transitioned because of this disease.

For years I use to struggle with liking my own voice and as Motivational Speaker Lisa Nichols coins it ,anything after ' I AM' is true to your subconscious mind.

You are whatever you think you are,how about getting your mind to believe that !!

Do you even know how your own voice sounds?

We choose our background and its experiences!

Hey Guys, I'm back with another episode  sharing bits and pieces of my life's ups and downs. In this particular episode I reflect on some past events of my childhood and how the experience has shaped me .It also shows how my parents navigated life experiences at that time. I am forever grateful because they gave me the best they could.

I also show how our start is not our finish and that simply means we have to  keep going, I chose the topic because at times we can feel victimized from circumstance when it fact it serves as fuel for purpose.

You get to decide how you interpret each situation.
