Mastering Intentional Focus: Transform Your Daily Routines

What happens when the words you've been longing to hear your entire life lose their power? Join us as we embark on a deeply personal exploration of seeking validation, only to find true strength within ourselves. I share the profound moment at my father's deathbed when his long-awaited words of pride surprisingly felt hollow. It was my mother, battling amyloidosis with grace and determination, who truly shaped my journey with her lessons on living passionately and with purpose. Her influence led me to the realization that true resilience stems not from the approval of others but from embracing our authentic passions.In this episode, we take you through a journey of transformation, drawing inspiration from an encounter with Dr. Silva. Through the metaphor of opening and locking gates, we uncover how visualization and self-discipline can break personal barriers and lead to mental freedom. We discuss the importance of surrounding ourselves with positive influences and tapping into the inner strength that our loved ones instilled in us. This conversation is an invitation to reassess your disciplines and approach life with a new mindset, leaving a lasting impact through a legacy driven by your true source of strength.https://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
