This episode is my an insight into my personal life, my personal challenges & my viewpoint into situaitons. The views of others are not upheld nor dispurted, I allow all the right to be wrong.
Coming up in today's episode, we talk about the daily reading, and how our knowledge can inhibit us from picking new things up. The less we know, the more teachable we are. This does not mean that our intelligence is limited, it means that we are allowing ourselves a better chance of learning new and exciting things every single day of our lives.

The acronym of FEAR can have 2 meanings. When we look at recovery and facing these fears, we ultimately put ourselves out of our comfort zone and recover.

We all hit low spots, and today I hit one in a big way. I talk about what happened and how I got through it.
Coming up in this episode, We look at the daily reading, discussing how believing in yourself can be difficult, especially if your values of self are low. By recognising the signs, being able to identify the positive or negatives and by simply being aware, we can start to make changes to our thought process, and ultimately move to be the best version of ourselves.

Making this episode, I learned so much about my philosophies that drove me for years in the way of expectaitons.
Drawing from the daily reading, we introduce you to one set of the character strengths that we are going to be looking into going forwards.
This episode compliments the daily reading and talks about the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

In this episode, Mikki talks about closing out the year that was 2021. In order to start a new book in 2022, we need to put closure on certain elements that we have control over, We need to see what we have control over, what we haven't and what we want to change. Mikki talks about this in more detail and talks about personal experiences in this. Moving forwards, we are looking forwards to a bright 2022 and want you to come along on that journey with us.

As we go into the festivities, we need to be cautious around saying things that we might later on regret. Adding alcohol to an otherwise toxic fire can flare up emotions, leaving us using words that could fragment relationships. As Mikki Discusses, peace of mind is more important than being right. Be cautious with your words, and allow people the right to be wrong.

In this episode, Mikki talks about doing an inventory of the year that has been. We can all get caught up in the negative aspects of life, especially with the whole COVID situation. Yet, reading between the lines and changing our mindsets can often make a massive difference. By raising awareness over the situations we face, we can often redirect our actions to be more positive.

In this episode, Mikki talks about feelings and emotions. Virtually all of us do not know how to process feelings and emotions. We have grown up knowing that feelings are wrong, and passing off how we feel. Dealing with how we feel is key to being the best version of ourselves.

In this episode, Mikki discusses the word "powerless". We can often associate being powerless as a negative trait, with the idea that being powerless is being weak. However, Powerless is a tool that can be used to strip back and to evaluate the limitations we have as individuals, and our influence on the actions of others.

Sometimes we never know what we have until it is gone. Mikki talks about the realisations on how we can get caught up in life and how it can take someone's passing to stop and take stock.

In this episode, we discuss the topic of closure. Having unanswered questions can drive us down a pathway that can be destructive to our well-being. The closure is the acceptance of those questions that we need to seek for our own peace of mind.

In this episode, Mikki talks about trauma. Childhood experiences, leading to the lack of love and bonding with our parents, can leave a person feeling alone.

Resilience is the ability to pick yourself up after falling down. How we do it is all dependant on the tools that we use in our wellness. Resilience can only be improved through practice and is not something that can be learned beforehand. Each situation presents challenges that require different attention

We deny ourselves the right to feel because that is the way it is. By identifying, owning and relating the feelings to the situation of life can allow us to process them and to learn from them.
Stress is also another overlooked factor that we relate to external sources.

We all possess character strengths; some are stronger than others. How we can evaluate our own character strengths can be done by taking the VIA strengths test, which is free. Knowing what our strengths are can allow us to use these strengths, while working on other areas of our lives and ultimately being the best versions of ourselves.
