Ever feel like your brain is being bombarded with messages specifically targeted to you? Facebook ads, webinars, podcasts, YouTube videos, Instagram posts...it's a lot. Albert Einstein was on to something when he continually pointed out the importance of finding your own voice instead of losing it to someone else's. As much as I love the fresh energy that comes with the beginning of a new year, I also have to remember to stay in touch with my own by being watchful of how much I consume of other's. I'm a self-help junkie, I really am. But when does it become too much? When do you stop forming your own opinions and just fall into the habit of adopting another's? When do you lose your own creativity and instead, observe everyone else's? When is self-help helpful versus harmful? In this podcast episode, I'm going to go over 3 important reasons to tune out the crap and instead, focus on your own voice. Show notes: How to be more intuitive, flow-like, and open to receiving "Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking." - Albert Einstein Learn the difference between gaining knowledge and feeding the need for speed // busyness Why chasing fills the ego and creating comes from a vulnerable place The art of temporarily not listening to other's voices and focusing more on yourself How to uplevel yourself by slowing things down Becoming aware of your own beliefs again Reasons for slowing down: You have everything you need Multitasking doesn't encourage present moment awareness You will find your own voice again Re-listen to my conversation with Tero Isokauppila "In order to rediscover what it is that you believe, you may need to stop asking." Why you should stop doing and start feeling It's okay not to complete everything you started Why you should never forget your own voice How to move on and use the sacred no Connect with Maddy: Facebook Twitter Instagram Mind Body Musings Podcast Coaching [Tweet "Today's MBM minisode: how tuning out the crap can help you find your own voice again"] {COACHING} Ready to break limiting beliefs + Take your self-worth to the next level? Apply for my 1:1 coaching HERE. {RETREAT} Do you want to look at your past with absolute LOVE and gratitude instead of guilt and shame?
