Just how much do we control? Society really hasn't done a good job of counteracting what Wayne Dyer calls “The Big Lie”.   In his book “Real Magic” he lists 5 aspects of the big lie that most just assume are true.  Things like:I can't help the way I am. I've always been this way. . It's my nature I inherited who I am and it can't be changed. My personality is controlled and predetermined.  And if you look around society you see that to be seemingly true.  But is it? Really?  Or is it that no one has told us “hey if you don't like your life you can change it.”  It is possible. Most definitely. But it does matter a lot who you are around.  It takes a lot more mental discipline to be healthy and fit when no one in your family is healthy and fit.  If everyone in your peer group is obese, you probably are too. If everyone in your peer group drinks, you probably do too.  If everyone in your peer group exercises you probably do to.  If they eat healthy, odds are so do you. Check out Episode 525 to see how much you can actually change!

Sometimes we think we need to ADD to make things better, when ultimately removing is what we actually need. Check out Episode 518! I love you guys! Quick takeaways: Things may happen around you, but what matters is within you. Everything is going to be okay; keep that truth in mind. Sometimes, we need to remove rather than add to feel lighter. Dead plants block positive energy and should be removed. Books can overwhelm and close off our space if not managed. We often hold onto grudges and negative thoughts without realizing it. Letting go can be more beneficial than adding new things. Emotional clutter can manifest in unhealthy habits. It's okay to feel stressed; it's part of being human. Reflect on what you need to let go of to feel lighter. self-improvement, personal growth, decluttering, emotional health, mindfulness
