Value Quotes
“Change puts you in a new position to rethink things you’ve always thought even though they weren’t working, you’ve always thought them and there is some comfort in that”
“Looking at the story and recognising and accepting that it got you where you are but it might not or won’t likely get you to where you need to be” [sic]
“Resistance comes from not feeling mastery over where you’re headed”
“Going to sleep may not meet the need for validation or connection so they’re going to go find it before they go to bed which is going to have them lingering on social media for a long time”
“You can change how you feel if you change how you think”
“Shifting the narrative on how we are coming to the conclusions that bring us to be really berating ourselves”
“What we focus our attention on we get more of”
“Receive things in a way that makes us grateful… and those things then help us to focus in those positive, grateful, abundant kind of mindset vs getting stuck in that old tape of ‘I’m not good enough’, ‘I’m not smart enough’, ‘I’m not hard working enough’”
