I put out episodes four times a week every single week to help you learn and grow and

improve yourself. So if that's something that you want to do so you can improve your life,

subscribe and I'll see you on every episode. Today, I'm going to be talking about something extremely

powerful, the power of choosing yourself in your life. Because let me ask you something.

How many times have you known exactly what you want to say and then you said something else? How many times have you felt a clear no in your body,

but you still said yes for some reason? And then you walk away and there's this quiet feeling deep down inside of you. It's not

like a loud screaming feeling. It's not dramatic, but it's this subtle thought, this subtle

feeling inside of you that's like, why do I keep doing that to myself? Like, why do I keep abandoning

in myself for other people? And we're going to dive into it and talk about why and then how to

actually fix it. Because here's the truth. You abandon yourself because somewhere along the way

in your childhood, it worked. Think about that for a second. You learned to abandon yourself

somewhere along the way because it worked for you.

Now, what do I mean by that?

Well, when you were younger, choosing yourself wasn't always safe.

For most people that I've met and coached along the way, choosing yourself is not safe.

It's not what your parents want you to do and they want you to do something else.

A lot of people,

you know, love comes with conditions in their childhood when they were younger. Maybe approval only came when you performed and when you got good grades or when you won a baseball game. Maybe

peace came in the house when you stayed quiet and tried to be unseen.
