In this episode I share a message that came through very strongly from spirit for you as the ultimate mind-being wellness goal for 2021 — to get back to self and focus on building mental strength/discipline by cultivating healthier habits, making necessary shifts and eliminating what no longer serves us. You always know what you need to do to be your best self and show up authentically in the world, now's the time to execute that... ### Let's connect online, my e-mail address is tamitsansai@gmail.com.
