Taking time to self reflect and make deliberate choices in your life is one of the most precious gifts you can give yourself.
I was honored to join Nina Lockwood this week to chat about falling in love with this life.
Nina's podcast, Get Your Happy Back will inspire you to reclaim your life and what makes you truly come alive, regardless of your age, your circumstances or your current state of mind.
Here a a few key takeaways from our chat:
~ Why we flourish when we're seen, heard and understood.
~ We spend so much time trying to be right A better question is, how can I be wrong?
~ The "inside job" is to recognize what's already been given to us.
~ Can we be self aware enough to know we have choice in what we do?

I shared two yung pueblo's poems on the podcast and mentioned I find his writing a great place begin a self reflection and journal our thoughts. If you want to try this reflection strategy, you can start here with one or all of these poems:
"how many times
has you mind
taken a small piece
of uncertain information
and spun a story around it that
ends up consuming your thoughts?"
~yung pueblo, Clarity & Connection book page 36
"calmness helps the mind see clearly
comparison reinforces your anxiety
patience creates space for growth
anger ignites fear-based reactions
joy appears in the present moment"
~yung pueblo, Clarity & Connection book page 211
One more:
"all human beings
are united by
birth,
life,
death, and
every emotion
in between"
Namaste,
Bonny
PS: As always I would love to chat with you to hear your insights and explore ways to stay committed to our inner journey of personal transformation.
