Ep.161 – Unlocking Your Personal Power: Embrace Your Control

You have more power and control than you realize, has become a powerful theme emerging from my recent planning sessions with families.   

In this episode, we'll explore how taking control of your emotional and financial well-being can profoundly impact your life.  Drawing insights from my own experiences and the wisdom of expert guests like neurologist Dr. Taryn Clark and psychologist Dr. Jennifer Dragonette, we'll discuss practical ways to focus on the positive aspects of life and harness your inner strength.  

Why is this conversation so important?  Because your emotional decisions impact your financial decisions, and your financial decisions impact your emotions! 

Whether you're navigating career challenges, relationship hurdles, or financial uncertainties, this episode is a reminder that you have more power than you think to shape your future.

1 Big Idea to Think About

  • People often underestimate the control they have over their careers, relationships, and finances. By shifting focus to what can be controlled and understanding the emotional and psychological factors behind decision-making, individuals can make more empowered choices and improve their overall life satisfaction.

1 Way You Can Apply This

  • Adopt a daily gratitude practice to shift focus from what's going wrong to what's going right.

    To start:

    - Set a Routine: Spend a few quiet minutes each morning.

    - Write it Down: List three things you're grateful for, big or small.

    - Reflect: Consider why each item brings you gratitude.

    Over time, this practice can boost your emotional well-being and sense of control, positively impacting personal and financial decisions.
