DESCRIPTION:

What’s your life “story”? Are your fears dictating your decisions? Are you engaged in relationships or situations that don’t serve you? Are life’s stressors robbing you of your peace of mind or health? Or, do you live in the moment- a state of flow that allows you to remain balanced regardless of life’s twists and turns? Join us as we serve up the tea on the dangers of living from a place of fear and how, through self-mastery, we can find ourselves living abundant and joyous lives.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Our third episode in the Self-Mastery series puts Creative Media & Story Coach Deb in the hot seat. The Tea?  We chat about what it means to live in either a fear, force, or flow state.

Many of us make fear-based decisions that could hinder us from living our best lives and experiencing all that life has to offer. Or, perhaps we try to force situations or relationships that don’t work for us and create unnecessary, extra stress in our lives.

As we learned with Dr. Ferrari in our episode on Procrastination, stress leads to a plethora of health issues, including: headaches, heartburn, higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, migraines, stress on your nervous system, and more.

If we want to live a  balanced, joyful, free, healthy, and abundant life, we need to start addressing our fears, assuming responsibility for our actions, and opening ourselves up to the endless possibilities life has to offer. We need to live in a state of flow.

What is flow, you ask? Well, join us on our next stop on this self-mastery journey to find out.
