One of the things that makes life harder work than it needs to be is not being able to forgive.  Holding on to all the anger, hurt, resentment, the bruising of the ego, and, in general, just not being able to move on.

So in this episode of the podcast, we'll be taking a look at the art of forgiveness. I'll be going through a 2-step process you can use to get some resolution and finally move on.

We are all creatures of habit, right? First we form our habits and then they tend to form us. And, while many habits are healthy and work well for us, some are not.

And which ones should we be looking to eliminate? Well, in this episode, we'll be looking at 5 BIG Common Behaviours that will hold you back in life. These are behaviours that you could be doing right now and are worth eliminating immediately or, at the very least, reducing to a minimum.   SHOW NOTES: Want to learn meditation in depth?
