In other words, how can someone wake up and feel good? How can we wake up in the aftermath of grief and feel better?With utter transparency, Chelsea walks her listeners through her day. Showing them that life is a series of choices, and the bolder we can be, the better we will feel for the very reason that we are living life on our unique terms. In this episode, she talks about:+ The importance of saying yes in the places where you've withdrawn and are saying no+ Loving the questions and living for the opportunities+ Using crossroads as invitations+ The benefits of opting for the more uncomfortable choice and doing what you would do if you weren't intimidated by the potential for emotional consequences+ Celebrating small wins, judging less, hugging longer, and telling people you love them all along+ How not controlling others with your own expectations frees you to not be controlled either+ Not taking lives for granted, rooting for people even if they can't see or hear you, why it's not useless to love people from afar, and plenty more.PS: If you're not into storytime with Chelsea, totally understandable.
