Hello Reader, Most of us run from pain. It's hardwired into us. Everything we do is solely to avoid pain and danger, increase satisfaction and ease, and stay alive. This is how we've survived as a species. There's an inbuilt bias in us to look out for danger and anything negative that could harm us. It worked well in ancient times. Not so much now when we're no longer living in the wilderness. But our hardwire still hasn't been upgraded. We're still running on version 1.0. So whenever we encounter any pain, where:
We run away, fight, and resist or freeze, confused and lost about what to do next. As long as we're stuck in this fight, flight, or freeze mode, we're not growing because we're not learning from our pain. So life keeps throwing us the lessons we're still not learning until we learn it. Ever notice how patterns keep repeating? You keep working hard towards that promotion and recognition you want at work and not getting it. Journaling helped me reflect, gain insight, and take action to change my actions so I could learn from painful life experiences. It's how I transitioned my career to do work I love, make more money, create more time, and experience more happiness and peace. I'll be sharing my daily journaling practice next week in a free workshop. Learn how to use journaling to grow from your pain and use those lessons to get what you want in your career and life instead of keeping you stuck. Sign up for the workshop HERE. See you then.

Reader, Nobody ever has spare cash or time lying around. But when it matters, somehow you find it. Like signing your kids up for activities they want, buying your loved ones a fancy birthday dinner, or in my case, investing in myself and my dream business. Last night, I finally dropped $3k on a program I've been thinking about doing for the past 2 years. Each time I had wanted to do it, it felt like too much money - money I didn't have. This time, it isn't that I have the money - of course...
