The more we understand our minds, the more we understand the importance of intentionally choosing what goes inside of them. The same is true for our bodies.

\\n

If we aren\'t intentional, then our brains do the best they can, living on default mode. Default mode is fine and can serve us, but most of the time our defaults prevent us from living into our best lives. Default mode generally prevents us from doing things that require stretch and growth, because they cause us to hide or find ways to numb-out from anything uncomfortable, and we end up living defensively and believing stories that our brain tells.

\\n

When things happen that we don\'t expect,  our mind reveals what\'s going on inside of it through our feelings and actions. If we feel stuck or like a victim, that\'s okay, AND there is always another option (if you want another option).
