Let's Talk About It with Lori Streator

When we're so busy, when we're constantly go-go-go... we leave zero room for neither the good nor the bad. We don't leave room for the miracles to happen and we're also leaving no room for error.

Today we're talking all about leaving that space and why it's important!

Today is a continuation from last week's episode about Avoidance. Because this part - the Self Awareness part of the journey - is often the other piece that causes issues when we're trying to grow. (If you haven't listened to that one yet, I strongly encourage you to go back and listen to that first.) Avoidance and Awareness go hand in hand. We tend to avoid becoming aware, because it puts pressure on us to have to choose to either continue avoiding OR to do something about the issue. Both come with their challenges, but only one is going to create long term benefits in your life.  Text 'DAILY' to (630) 228-1002 for daily, helpful healing texts straight from my phone to yours!

It's time to address avoidance, how it affects your life and it's definitely time to kick it to the curb!
