EP53: How Meditation, Mindfulness and Nature Manifest Positivity with Michelle J. Lamont
When someone enters your life and creates conflict or awkwardness, do you ever wonder if they were placed in your path so you could learn a valuable lesson and expand? We all cross paths with negativity, but it\u2019s how we respond to it that matters. How can we take responsibility for our own energetic maintenance? Now is a good moment for a Wise Walk.
On the True Stride podcast, we take a Wise Walk to slow down and check our reality. True Stride is that feeling you get when you\u2019re aligned in your heart with all that you do, and you feel energized and happy with each and every step that you take. I\u2019m your host, Mary Tess Rooney, and I connect with Michelle J. Lamont on our Wise Walk for this guest episode.
Michelle J. Lamont contributes to the world as a motivational speaker, life coach, mindfulness expert, Manifestation guru, PR professional, author, and podcast host of Manifesting Miracles. She is a life-long entrepreneur who started her first business at 8 years old, wasn\u2019t afraid to keep her dreams alive while working at Domino\u2019s pizza, and continued to strive even after she built a million-dollar company. Michelle can say she interviewed Oprah Winfrey, was named DFW Women's "Influence" award winner, and appeared on numerous TV networks. On our Wise Walk, Michelle and I share our thoughts on these questions and more:
- If you\u2019re energetically off track, how can you regroup and get back on track?
- What\u2019s one practice you can incorporate into your life to get you grounded in nature and meditation?
- Where can you slow down and take time to interpret your actions as an energy or frequency that can teach a lesson?
- What can you do to nurture and recharge your energy?
Michelle helps people break mental barriers they didn\u2019t even know they had. Building a new mindset allows people to not react to life, but to create life. In this episode, I want to explore how our mindset really comes into play, how people\u2019s energy affects everything we do, and how to prevent unwanted energy from affecting us.
Take a Wise Walk with us to uncover a new sense of freedom and explore what it looks like to move forward within an inspiring community.
