This episode dives into the concept of emotionalizing. I started practicing this daily for the past 3 months and have seen some dramatic changes in my mindset and wellbeing.  Listen to the episode to learn the benefits of emotionalizing and how to get started with this amazing technique today!

In this episode I share my personal story of how I got into exercising on a consistent basis. After trying and failing several times, I finally found a way to make this habit stick. I also share about the different benefits of working out and how having this habit is important to a creative career.

This episode's topic is all about the transformative power of meditation & stillness as a way to address a ruminating mind. Meditation has a healing power to soothe us and bring peace into our busy lives because it helps us build a habit of paying attention to our thoughts or our breath. In this episode I also share my personal story of beginning my meditation journey a few years ago and the moment when I realized that it actually worked. I also share a few general benefits of meditation (especially for creatives) as well as a few suggestions and options on how you can get started with your meditation practice today.  References: https://medium.com/@michael.burkhardt/meditation-for-entrepreneurs-a-blueprint-525ba1e38e20 calm.com https://www.yogabasics.com/connect/yoga-blog/best-meditation-for-creativity/ https://insighttimer.com/
