Summary
Gentle Persistence: A Journey of Sauntering Towards Success
Sauntering beyond your limits is a powerful approach that involves combining ambition with ease, playfulness with purpose, and approaching obstacles with curiosity rather than frustration. In the podcast episode, Tonya Leigh discusses how sauntering involves walking with purpose yet unhurried, being playful yet focused, and curious yet determined. This approach allows individuals to maintain a sense of calm and gratitude while pursuing their goals, even in the face of challenges.
By sauntering beyond your limits, you are encouraged to adopt a mindset that values the journey as much as the destination. Instead of constantly pushing yourself to go faster and do more, sauntering allows you to explore your limits with a sense of curiosity and openness. When faced with obstacles, the sauntering approach encourages individuals to stop, assess the situation, and consider alternative paths or solutions. This contrasts with the typical hustle culture that promotes pushing through obstacles without taking the time to reflect or adjust course.
Join Tonya as she discusses the power of taking a more relaxed and enjoyable approach to personal development and life.

| 0:47.0 | Hello friends, welcome to another week of the podcast. How have you been? |
| 0:52.0 | I have had a very full week. It seems like we've had a revolving door of company coming to stay with us. My dad is sick and so I've been going back and forth to spend time |
| 1:05.8 | with him and my mom and we have a lot of exciting things going on within the |
| 1:11.9 | school of self-image that will be revealed very soon. |
| 1:16.4 | But I was thinking the other day of how I feel overall and quite honestly I feel very grateful for so many things and even though a |
| 1:27.5 | lot's going on I'm relatively calm right now and I think it has to do with what today's episode is all about |
| 1:37.0 | sauntering beyond your limits because you know we live in a world that's always telling us to push harder, go faster, do more. |

| 2:10.0 | And that's when it hit me, the image of sauntering towards my goals and sauntering beyond my limits. |
| 2:18.5 | Now what I want you to close your eyes for a second, if you can, if you're driving or out for a walk don't but if you're in a place where you can close your eyes I want you to imagine yourself just walking with purpose but unhurried. You're playful yet focused, you're curious yet determined. |
| 2:40.1 | And I want you to really see yourself in that energy, because that is the energy of sauntering, my friends. |
| 2:47.0 | If you look up the word saunter, it means to walk leisurely. |
