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, everyone. Welcome to the show today. So I’m sitting here having my coffee. It has been cool in Atlanta, like the last couple of days in the morning when I’ve gotten up. And I’ve sat on the porch, and it’s been actually cool. Today, I sat out there and I was like, Oh, my God, it feels cold, which I have to tell you, I am so excited for fall, like I’m so excited to not be melting, I just feel like the summer has been so bad. So I’m sitting here. And if you’ve been here for a little while, you know that a couple months ago, I moved into a house that’s like 100 years old, in Atlanta, in Atlanta. So I’m in my office, and I’m like, it’s cooler outside than it is inside, I’m gonna open the window. And some of the windows open, and some of them don’t, because the windows are original. And I don’t know if you guys have ever lived in, in an old house. But when I was growing up, the house that I lived in, was built around the same time as this house. And when I was growing up that house, the windows were very hard to get up and down. And they were on a pulley system. So I went to open the window this morning and one of them wouldn’t open and the other one opened right up. But I could hear it was a pulley system. And I could hear the weights inside the wall clinging together. I don’t know, it was actually kind of wonderful. And I knew that the windows were old before when I bought the house, but some of them are new, and some of them are old. But I was like this, it feels so magical. The little clanging I don’t know, it just brought me joy, as I was getting ready to record. Alright, so I want to share with you a little something that has been a shift for me. And I’m hoping that maybe it could be a shift for you too. Now, if you have been here for a little while, you’ve heard me mention it. Years ago, I used to own a CrossFit gym, right, and I was really in shape. And that was a big part of my life. And then as things changed in my life, and I could tell you a lot of reasons. I gained weight, and I’m in my 50s. And I lost some weight last year and have kept it off. But there’s more to go. And more importantly, I don’t want to suffer to lose it. So I keep like asking myself like Are you ready? Are you ready to lose it but I don’t want to I don’t want to do what I think I’m using air quotes I would need to do in order to get rid of it. I’m just like focused on other things, and I want to be happy. And we just moved to this area and we’re going to new restaurants and trying new things. And I don’t want to be worried. I don’t want to be thinking about it. I don’t want to have that be like the biggest thing in my life. Like I I just want to live my life and be joyful. And if that means that I’m a size eight instead of a size four, then I don’t know. I just feel like that’s fine. And there is still that part of me that’s like what I feel better. Sometimes I see pictures,
