Summary
Since we are in Freedom Week, and our country is ready to celebrate our Independence Day, I've decided to take a step back from our regular content and make a pause to think about our personal freedom and the thoughts that keep us stuck and prevent us from becoming the best version of ourselves.
In this episode, I go through why it is so hard for us to appreciate and recognize our awesomeness, give value to our actions, and motivate ourselves to keep going. I discuss the importance of standing up for ourselves, avoiding putting ourselves down, and standing up for others. Also, I reflect on how vital it is to take more risks, trust ourselves, and free our minds from negative and diminishing thoughts.
Tune in to Episode 93 of Rejuvenaging, and join me on this quest of freedom and positive affirmation of ourselves and others.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- People put us down when we fall short of their expectations (2:43)
- The importance of reinforcing that all of us are special (3:41)
- Freedom to speak up when someone wants to put us or others down (4:47)
- Freeing ourselves, telling people we like them, applying for the job we want, and taking more risks (7:29)
