In this episode, I talk to Michael whose desire to help people leave a comfortable life in the real world set him to an evolutionally journey. Through his mentors, Michael discovered that how physical therapy was being taught was not yielding the desired results for the clients. We discuss how Michael learned how to use the “Inside Out Approach” or the “Mind First Approach” and how effective it has been. Whenever we do things that we want to do, the foundation of that endeavor is Joy because if we don't start with joy, we're not going to get there. ~  Michael Rizk Michael realization that most of his clients had a low physical capacity, restricting the physical exercise and directly limiting their goal achievement set him into a discovery journey. It’s during his early days of venturing into entrepreneurship that he learned two things that completely changed his life; How to think for himself rather than follow protocol. That the human body is driven by the mind and led by the spirit. We talk about the interconnectedness of Mind, Body, and Spirit, managing expectations, how peace, love, joy, self-compassion is related to healing, success and much more.  Get the Show Notes Highlights & Links at http://Thriverz.com/15
