What percentage of your life do you think is conscious? If you are waiting for me to give you a percentage, I can't. I just wanted to bring up that question to have you think about the things you do that are unserving, the things you do automatically.

You are powerful.  You are confident, positive and motivated to live a full life. And you will do just that if you stay away from places that drain your energy.  Or I should say, when you make a decision not to willingly give away your energy to these three sources.  Come listen.

There are many people who look to make sure that their lives are without struggle, without pain.  However, as I talk about today, life is empty when we try and shield ourselves from adversity.  You are strong and capable, and that understanding comes from weathering the storms of life.

Social media has been proven to increase levels of depression and anxiety, but it doesn't need to be that way.  You can use it to inspire you.  Let's talk about one way to start doing that.

Today I give you the opportunity to hear from another source that chooses calm.  Joanna Ciolek is a writer for Tiny Buddha, and today she shares her secrets for dealing with anxiety.
