This episode is about how deep self-listening helps us construct better personal growth goals and the power of connecting that listening to essential self-truths that form the basis for our choices and actions.

In this episode:

• I talk about how a recent Being Well podcast episode on manifesting sparked new thoughts on intention setting and dedicated action to achieve personal growth goals.
• I summarize the three elements the Hansons discussed – believing in yourself, clear goal setting, and taking consistent action.
• I discuss tools to help facilitate deep self-listening including mindful activities, meditation, restorative sleep and journaling.

It’s a heady episode, but that’s why we have poetry!!

Welcome to my reflections from the bright side of the beat.
