S2E7: Check your Circle (People, Places, and Projections)

Join our founder of modelme Natasha for one of her favourite principles to discuss and dive deep on: check your circle. Natasha has (tried to) live her life based off this principle for the last few years - since she heard it in 2019 it has massively influenced her decisions. When you consider the vision for your life and where you want to go, the decisions you make today impact that vision. Checking your circle is something you can do daily, to help you stay on the path you are called to. Check your circle is broken into 3 elements today in this episode: people, places, and projections. We would love to hear your thoughts and how it impacted you! modelme: events | mentoring [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSels267k_rtNSkn9PS_vzc9YwfMGu0cADqSMfhgsFT0ApfwqA/viewform] | on demand [https://modelmeondemand.vhx.tv/products] Join us at our next event [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1047860497957/?aff=oddtdtcreator] Watch a workshop online [https://modelmeondemand.vhx.tv/products] Check out our website [modelmemission.com] 00:00 our new series 2:11 intro to checking your circle 4:39 the importance of rest 6:55 pursuing your friendships 8:27 check your circle: people 9:31 how you're influenced 11:31 what do people around you think about 12:28 value-based decisions decide your behaviour 13:35 stop doing life alone 14:57 my body image story 18:00 vital friends in your life 18:35 check your circle: places 19:50 working in high pressure environments 21:10 how do you prepare 22:15 boundaries at work 22:57 serve your season well 25:05 check your circle: projections 25:53 rings of power 26:48 your eye gates 28:50 lyrics and music
