HTL 009: The Benefits of Procrastination

Podcast

The Benefits of Procrastination You have probably procrastinated once or twice - or a lot - in your life. Everyone has procrastinated on something and probably often. Procrastination is often associated with irresponsibility, laziness, worthlessness, or even defiance. Those are all sorts of negative attributes and no one likes to think of themselves in that light. But what does procrastination mean? Why does it happen to us? This is what I have come to know: Procrastination is the opposite of momentum. Positive momentum is when you are in the flow. You are feeling good, your energy is good, you are moving easily and happily, and things are getting done without effort. There is no resistance in your stream. But if there is some resistance in a task that you…

HTL 008 Balancing Emotions: Tips to Soothe and Comfort Yourself with Tayla Hadley, M.Ed CPC LCADC

Podcast

Balancing Emotions is not always easy to do. It is tempting to ignore them, but emotions are extremely important to us. They are a compass, an indicator, of how close we are to being aligned with our true selves. Emotions are often thought to work against us, but the opposite is actually true. Our true self, the best version of ourselves, is a happy, light-hearted, optimistic lover of life and lover of self. That is how we were born and it is who we truly are at our core. But there are events, experiences, and conditioning in our lives that cause us to notice and feel the unwanted, pain, or distress. There are many justifications as to why we ignore the emotions that are signaling us or why we act…

HTL 005: How to Find Your Calling and Follow It, With Yoni Myllari

Podcast

Knowing how to find your calling in life, and then follow it, is something that many people struggle with. Children naturally tune into that intuition and are open to exploring it because they have no fear of consequences. But we often are turned away from that natural inclination usually because of well-meaning elders who think it is frivolous or wrong in some way. Many of us lose this natural knowing early in life. Often, we don't find our calling it again until many years later. And sometimes not at all. But then there are those people who seem to know what their passion is early on. They gravitate toward it, immerse themselves in it, and are undeterred in their pursuit of it. I am fascinated when someone recognizes this…

You can make a great decision if you practice getting yourself into "decision-making mode".This talk will give you…
