coming home (to yourself)

Does that sound weird? Does that sound mean? Guess what? Everyone else being the same? That's an illusion. We are all different. And that's a good thing. https://www.amybriggscoach.com email me! amy@amybriggscoach.com

Living your life knowing that it is wild and precious…I think it’s an exercise that we become better at, not something that we necessarily ever have nailed. Knowing the preciousness of your life, what will you do differently? Mary Oliver, The Summer Day amy@amybriggscoach.com

Making a change in your life, especially one that feels big or significant, is like embarking on an ultramarathon of sorts. Your goal is before you, constantly in your mind, and you are somewhere along the path, moving towards this goal. What will you do when something happens, or doesn’t happen as you’d like, and it starts to shake your belief in yourself and the whole endeavor? email me! amy@amy...

Isn't it funny that we’re so scared of the unknown? When everything we love in our lives, in the world around us, in our daily routines…was, at some point, not here yet? Before it was here, it was unknown. It was nothing. email me! amy@amybriggscoach.com

Does fear keep you from going after your dream? If you could let fear be there and go for what you want anyway, what else would be possible for you? Where would your limits be? Susan Donnelly: https://www.susanidonnelly.com email me! amy@amybriggscoach.com

The current neuroscientific research backs it up: when you reinforce neural pathways by imagining, thinking about, and being an example of what you want, your brain recognizes and pulls in examples from your world that match that. Questions or feedback? Email me at amy@amybriggscoach.com

Do you have days where all you want to do is lay around and take a nap or watch a movie or read a good book? And do you actually do that? Or do you override it by working and producing more? Do you feel guilty if you take some time and rest? I would love to hear from you! Drop me a note at amy@amybriggscoach.com

In a way this is a bonus episode, because this wasn’t next on my list of things to talk about. But it’s up for me right now, and it’s vulnerable and I want to share it. The exchange I had with a listener was powerful and it got me thinking a lot about my words and how I use them. Send me a comment or questions at amy@amybriggscoach.com!

I feel like this belief is the evil twin of the thought I talked about in episode 3: ‘isn’t it selfish?’. And this one can be really sneaky and insidious and maybe it can even be there when you don’t think it is. Got a comment? Drop me an email! amy@amybriggscoach.com

This one touches close to home, because it’s been one of my biggest stumbling blocks. And it still gets me sometimes! You know when you make a choice just for yourself, and this internal nagging voice asks, ‘but isn’t it selfish, choosing what I want?’

If you could change anything in your life, what would you change? If you could create anything, what would it be? Do you believe you can have it? Can you see yourself doing that thing? If not, what thoughts creep in? Do you feel doubt, fear, insecurity? Is your mind telling you you don't deserve it? Our unconscious thoughts are often the biggest limiters to creating what we want. When you can...

Episode 1! In which I explain what I mean when I talk about coming home to yourself. How a lot of us live our lives, or some aspect thereof, trying to please others, not make too many waves, not be too visible...and it leads to resentment, frustration, and burnout. How we can learn to be in touch with and express our true selves, and making the choice to live this way is WAY easier and frees up a...
