In this episode, I will discuss what it means to have unconscious motivations. This is where so many of us begin in life and we simply don't know how to get out of it. This oftentimes leads us to decisions that we later regret. Our life experiences influence our decisions. This is our paradigm - how we see and understand the world. Instead of beating ourselves up for making poor decisions, we need to learn how to understand who we are, what experiences have influenced our decisions, and what actions need to be taken for changing the way we see ourselves and the world. When we become conscious that we are making unconscious decisions, we will begin to take a positive step forward to rediscovering our authentic self. 

Action Steps: 

1. For each day this week, take 20 minutes to just sit still. Find a comfortable place without any distractions. Close your eyes and just focus on your breathing. As thoughts enter, allow them to pass through you and do not engage in a mental conversation. 
2. Create an intention for everything you do. Before you go somewhere, before you respond to someone, or before you write a social media post, first think about what your intention is for doing that. If the intention comes from a place of love then continue with your action. If the intention is to simply ‘get back’ at someone or it comes from anger, jealousy, or hate then refrain from taking that action. Remember, protecting your peace is more important than giving your power away to someone else. 
3. If you notice that someone in your life is acting unconsciously, accept that situation for what it is and, release it, and move on. Do not engage in a back and forth conversation because that will only make it worse.
