I’m an author, a speaker, and a trainer of NLP and hypnotherapy. And I’m focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of the subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hello fellow adventurers. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. Today. I really okay, what I really want to talk about is not sexy at all. So I’m going to tell it to you in a different way. I’m going to tell it to you in a way that sounds sexier. All right. First of all, before we get started, I’m curious of how your year is going. Like how things are moving along for you. Because I know even if you don’t set resolutions, like there might be some thing that you’re doing, or that you want to create or bring into your life. Right? You know, one of the things I’ve been doing this year in the Facebook group, if you’re not in there, join us in there, it’s, it’s the art of living big.com will push you into the Facebook group. Okay, so what I have been doing is these little challenges I wanted to be inspired this year. And I had some ideas of things that I wanted, right, but I wasn’t like, oh my god, this is the year. Do you know what I mean? Like, I wasn’t like, this is the year that I do this thing. In fact, I had written down some things that I wanted to do this year. And then as I went to do them, they felt really heavy. And I was like, I don’t think I really want to do this. I think I just think that is what I should do. Which made me completely throw everything into a waste bin and just say, forget it. I’m not going to do that if I think I have to because like everything is optional. Everything is optional. And I know that sometimes we think well, it’s not I have to go to work, I have to go. I mean, you do and you don’t like and follow my train of thought and then we’re gonna circle back, okay, but like, I work, the work I do I love. And there was a time where I worked because I had to work because I had a daughter and I had to support her. But it was still that was still a choice. You know what I mean? Like I could have not supported her. That was a choice. It wasn’t a choice I wanted to make. And so I worked. But the reason I say that is because when we know it’s a choice, it brings us back some power. Right. And so as I was looking at things, I was like, I’m not really inspired for any like big thing. And the things I thought I should do, were a choice. And so I decided I wasn’t going to do them. And so I decided that every month, I was going to have a little challenge for myself, not really a challenge, like an immersion or an experience. I talked about it inside the Facebook group. So you should go in there. Because I’m talking about it,
