PR156: Remember What Sets Your Soul on Fire

Everybody wants to play the middle. In one breath we say we want a life that reflects exceptional health and well being, then in another we remain committed to the mindset and behaviors that produce the opposite of that.  It's time to choose: be well or be right.

Reasons feed you. They move you. They pull you forward.  If you feel like you're stuck and uninspired to take action on what it is you say you want in life, this is your reminder that yo reasons ain't good enough.

What you prove when you lack patience is that you're moving in fear and doubt but more importantly, you confirm that you have more faith in failing than you do in experiencing life as you envision it.  . . . (Music @freebeats.io)

It is always you. It is always your thoughts, your feelings and your mindset that determines what you experience in life. If illness becomes a repeating theme in your reality, it's time to check the philosophies you believe in and are currently living by.

You can cry, bitch, moan, and complain but at the end of the day what you get out of life is all on you. Your dreams, health goals and the life you envision for yourself must be fueled by your own support, beliefs and encouragement. Otherwise, prepare for them to die and you along with it.

This week we're talking pee ya'll! I know we all do it several times a day but it is an integral part of keeping us well. Interestingly enough I've been monitoring mines for the past few months and I am finally seeing some filtration happening!! I will share what that means and where I'll go from here. But more importantly I want you to know that when our glands and organs are functioning properly we have no reason to worry about our overall wellbeing. The body can heal itself!
