For so much of my life I’ve focused on controlling and managing outcomes. I’ve hustled and strategized in order to get from point A to point B as efficiently as I could, and I always thought that this approach would eventually bring ease into my life. So, it was a big surprise when I found that this wasn’t the case at all.  I’ve come to realize that the opposite is true - it’s actually when I loosen my grip and lean on trust and faith that I experience the most beautiful opportunities and ease.  If you’re ready to invite more ease into your life, this episode is for you. Today I will be sharing the 7 mindset shifts that I use to live a more ease-filled life. Then, we’ll end the episode with a journaling prompt that will help you integrate these lessons into your own life so that you can begin to transition out of a gripping, controlling mindset and into a mindset that is filled with more ease, more grace, more trust, more surrender and more alignment.  Are you loving the show?
