58. How to actually "rewrite your life story" for the better

Writing your LIFE STORY has been a common inspirational catchphrase in the personal development world for a long time. Though it is positive and inspiring, you get stuck on the term "life story" and the mental block gets in the way of knowing really how to rewrite your story to be happy, healthy, and fulfilled. This leads to confusion, stagnation, and frustration because you feel inspired and have goals but don't know what to do to start toward them. This episode teaches you the simple psychology behind this mental roadblock and how to think totally differently about your life and the story of your life that you have the power to mold, design, and write that is most fulfilling and successful.  Remember: your life story is play-doh, not cement...
