The Ultimate Journey of Self-Care

People are motivated differently. Some by achieving success and others by praise and accomplishment.Our culture leads us to believe that being busy is a good thing and will lead to a life of success and contentment. That same lifestyle fosters a belief system that once we achieve something we will find what that success is.But what if we were just defining success through the wrong lens?Lynita Mitchell Blackwell is an accomplished attorney and CPA and published author and reached a point in her career and life where she realized she needed to make some different decisions. She is an intuitive business coach who works with her clients to help them find their inner happiness and build a disciplined practice around making the shift.In this episode, we talk about her process of making a shift through investments in yourself, investments in involving silence, mediation, flow and joy.Lynitas Links:Lynita's WebsiteFacebookInstagramALISON'S LINKS:Check out the ULTIMATE PODCASTSGet your copy of Alison's Retreat ChecklistEMAIL MEVISIT MY WebsiteFIND ME on FacebookFOLLOW ME on TwitterFOLLOW ME on InstagramEXPLORE OUR RETREATS HERE!JOIN OUR GROUP HERE If you are a health/fitness/wellness entrepreneur, or a coachINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness & Self-Care Revolution on FacebookANDROID USERS leave a REVIEW on PODCHASERAPPLE USERS leave a REVIEW on APPLE PODCASTS

Behavior Change starts with changing habits.Many struggle with adopting new habits or even the simple daily behaviors that lead to a new habit often struggling with the ‘should haves’, which eventually robs us of our confidence.When we find some consistency with simple habits, or even making different decisions, much like a workout program, we get ‘reps’ in, and that helps us form the belief we are not only capable, but successful.Behavior change stems from 3 key pieces: Motivation, ability to do something that leads to the desired change, and prompts which allow us to follow through.Julie DeLucca-Collins is a Business and Life Strategy coach and after a 20 year corporate career, became a Certified Tiny Habits Coach, and a podcast and radio show host.In this episode, we discuss the nuts and bolts of changing habits, and how we can not just  make changes, but the best ways to stay consistent.Julie’s LInks:www.goconfidentlycoaching.comHer Podcast:  Casa De Confidence FB: https://www.facebook.com/jdeluccaLinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/goconfidentlyjulie/ALISON'S LINKS:Check out the ULTIMATE PODCASTSGet your copy of Alison's Retreat ChecklistEMAIL MEVISIT MY WebsiteFIND ME on FacebookFOLLOW ME on TwitterFOLLOW ME on InstagramEXPLORE OUR RETREATS HERE!JOIN OUR GROUP HERE If you are a health/fitness/wellness entrepreneur, or a coachINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness & Self-Care Revolution on FacebookANDROID USERS leave a REVIEW on PODCHASERAPPLE USERS leave a REVIEW on APPLE PODCASTS
