We are very aware that with a certain amount of calories we start to gain weight, we can see it, we can get on a scale, we can decide what we want to do with that information.

We also are very aware of the foods we eat and the impact on our body, but when it comes to our thoughts,

what about those things?

How does that impact your life?

And so the question I started asking myself was, you know, are the thoughts in my head, the way that I'm viewing the world, the perspective I have, is that weighing me down?

And we speak that way, right? We feel lighter, we feel freer, we feel heavy, we feel weighted down.

That's what people want. They want that lightness.

If you have fear, but you know you're where you need to be, that's the workout, right?

That's the process of surrendering, go creating space to allow your truth to

unfold to the world and step through it on a day-to-day basis. That's Laura Co
