{w/ Laureen Nowlan-Card} Do you ever do this?  You meditate, get really clear about where you want to go and who you want to be and you make a plan.  A realistic plan, for crying out loud!  Not one of those pie-in-the-sky plans you used to make, no a plan you can actually achieve by putting one foot in front of the other.  And you feel so good, patting yourself on the back, ready to usher in change, and then…15 minutes after you decide to not go out to eat this week because you’re budgeting your money in a different, life-affirming, good-for-future-you kind of way, your best friend texts with a “wanna meet for dinner tomorrow night?”.  And your inner rebellion rears her head and says YES!!!…and let's go to the GOOD restaurant, and get drinks.  Blowing your newfound budget out of the water, moments after you set it.  Yeah, me too. My guest Laureen Nowlan-Card has some beautiful, grace-filled insight into why we do that and how to work with it. In this episode, we take a closer look at how our subconscious mind is wired to protect us and avoid change, even if that change is something we know is good for us. We examine the six dimensions of self – body, emotion, spirit, thoughts, energy, and belief – and how to address self-sabotage through practical steps that can help both sides of ourselves come to an agreement. Laureen also shares several different exercises she uses in her work and offers listeners her six-senses guide to support their personal growth. Give it a listen.
