21. The Power of Intention with Andrew Wallas

On today’s episode, I had the honor of speaking with businessman and psychotherapist, Andrew Wallas, about the power of intentions. We dive into how our intentions fit hand in hand with our happiness, our business, and most importantly, our relationship with ourselves. Join us for an incredible episode of giving up control, shutting down the mind, and letting life happen for us. How Do You Define Life? [1:30] “We can see life as something that happens to us, or we can see life as something that happens for us.” “Life is something that I’m aligned with that’s helping my growth.” It’s Time to Evolve [7:54] “You can sit around and feel sorry for yourself, but staying in a place where you don’t let go of victimhood doesn’t give you the opportunity to grow and use the experience for you.” “How do we reinvent ourselves?” “Life is asking us to be flexible, to evolve, and those who are more willing to change will experience less friction and will be able to more easily adapt.” Taking Responsibility [12:45] “What is the biggest lie of the human species? The thought or the idea that something outside of yourself can make me happy.” “We need to take responsibility for our own life.” “Unconsciously, we are always looking for someone to blame. Taking responsibility for ourselves can be a hard pill to swallow.” Give Up Control [15:40] “True happiness is the absence of the search for happiness.” “We have to give up wanting to control everything around us.” “Inquire within. Figure out what’s going on within us.” It Starts With Intention [19:58] “Nothing exists in the universe without intention.” “Intention starts with listening to myself, my body, my gut.” “You figure out what you want from the inside out.” Shut Down The Mind [28:00] “95% of fear comes from the mind. When we’re looking at alignment and we take time to pause, it’s the body that will help us feel peaceful and aligned.” “Our minds are our biggest block in transformation. We don’t have to listen to every thought we have.” “Allowing my body and nervous system to calm, I could finally sense alignment, not just hear my fear-based mind.” Intention In Business [36:10] “Leadership starts with someone being willing to be authentic. They are human, they don’t know all the answers and want to explore everything.” “Listening to our own inner wisdom will change the world.” “To teach our audience, customers,or staff anything we need to demonstrate it fir Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecoachablepodcast/ Connect with Tori on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachtorigordon/ Guess what?!
