I love a heist movie! And today's quote is from Sandra Bullock's character in Ocean's 8. When we make a choice to step outside our comfort zone into the growth zone, that's where the magic happens.  We are choosing to step into bigger possibilities and we are also choosing to be an example that could inspire someone else to do the same. Be the example.  Do this for her. Find all the podcast info, special offers, music lists and episodes at www.omgteachme.com and find @omgteachme on Instagram as well.

It would be wonderful if there were a super healthy way to make a substitution for foods we want to avoid, wouldn't it?

Visualizing may sound like a challenge, so I have a practice exercise for you. Did you know that creating a mental picture of something happening (that you want to happen) and adding positive emotion to it and repeating this mental picture over and over makes it vastly more likely to actually happen?

OMG friends, we are continuing with the complaining theme this week because I missed an important piece in episode 66 (listen here)!  Another reason we sometimes complain is to put ourselves down and make others feel better. No. Stop doing that. Please do try to make others feel better, but do not do it by putting yourself down or speaking unkindly to yourself. Do it by listening, helping, or helping them move to another subject, but not by lowering yourself in the hopes that they will feel better vs you. Just no. Tell me what you think!  Let's connect on social media (www.instagram.com/omgteachme).

When you are upset - or happy - are you truly feeling that emotion because of your desires and your personal like and dislikes? Or are you upset because you are worried about what you think other people will think?  Are you happy because of what you think other people will think? Truly feeling your feelings that come from your desires and beliefs and your thoughts about your life is powerful.  But allowing in feelings that you've created because of what you think others say or think about you is allowing them to be in charge of you.  And we never really know what others think anyway, do we? Let's talk about it. Find all the podcast info, special offers, music lists and episodes at www.omgteachme.com and find @omgteachme on Instagram as well. I'll see you here every Tuesday and Friday!

We talk about relationships, conflicts at work, and dating... but when do we talk about friendship?  When do we learn how to make friends, how to handle conflict with friends, or how to make friendships stronger?
