Confessing about wellness ruts, progressing goals, and emotional pain

On this week's confession episode, I tell you about my years long evolution into a mental rut, how that came to be, what made me realize it, and what I'm doing to start working towards getting out of it. Then I touch on habits I have been implementing to create upward spirals and dial in my internal locus of control in an effort to close my knowledge to skill gap and start taking action on all of the thoughts I have developed and grown over time, After that I tell you about a concept I learned in Daniel Chidiac's Stop Letting Everything Affect You about why our minds cling to emotional pain and how it subconsciously causes you to continue patterns without realizing it. I tell you how this impacts my romantic relationship and my relationship with my wellness. Lastly, I end on a listener question about gratitude journaling and walk you through my morning and night 5-minute gratitude journal.
