and learn to really appreciate your

textures, and sounds.

Write your affirmations down, say them out loud,
record them, and listen to them when you are
working out or driving. Make them personal and
specific. When you practice them
(writing or speaking), notice the
feelings that come up for you.

stumbling block for a lot of folks. But without this
step, your passion will remain an unrealized
dream.

stop now. An intelligent risk when the timing is
right, can take your life from dull to awesome.
