SUMMARY:Releasing the Inner Critic - Moving from Shame and Judgment Towards Inner Freedom
DESCRIPTION:There is an inner voice that can criticize\, shame\, or judge your thoughts and actions. This critical voice is sometimes referred to as the inner critic. It has the capacity to imprison your mind in a never-ending loop of “not good enough.” \nTake time to explore where this voice comes from and become aware of how you experience it in your daily life. \nShift out of the narrow space of judgment and into compassion\, kindness\, and a greater sense of freedom. \nDiscuss the concept and origins of the comparative mind. Identify and understand your own critical voices. Develop strategies\, such as daily mindfulness practices to minimize your negative self-talk. \nRelease your inner critic\, expand your heart and mind\, and reclaim your inherent freedom. \nThis course is available on Zoom and live in-person. You will be emailed a Zoom link closer to the time of the class. The course will be recorded and you will receive a link to watch it.  The course will be hosted through the Infinity Foundation.  The link below will take you to the Infinity Course Page to register. \n| Live | Zoom | Hybrid\nDate Saturday\, January 13\nTime 1:00 – 3:00 PM CST\nCost $35/30 payment 10 days in advance \n Purchase your tickets today!

SUMMARY:Embracing Your Life In The New Year
DESCRIPTION:Embracing Your Life In The New Year  \n\n\nWhat changes do you want to bring into your life in 2023?  Do you want to change your job or career?  Maybe get back into dating or working on your relationship you are already in?  Or simply embracing your life as it is.  \n\n\nAs we move into this new year\, who do we want to be is often a question we ask ourselves.  We look out into our world\, compare ourselves\, and think we have fallen short in some way and we need to change.   \n\n\nThe bigger question we can ask is what is in the way of us realizing that we already are enough and have the capacity within to meet life’s challenges and opportunities.  Often what is holding us back is the thoughts\, emotions\, and beliefs that tell us we are not smart enough\, skilled enough\, or that things are never going to change.  It’s these thoughts and beliefs that prevent us from embracing change and accessing more joy\, wisdom\, love\, and connection in our lives.   \n\n\nFortunately\, the practice of mindfulness can help us learn over time to unwind and unhinge from these patterns of negative thoughts and beliefs that prevent us from being present to all life has to offer us! \nI hope you will join me for my six-week online course where I’ll provide you with the basic foundations of mindfulness and compassion practices that will help guide you towards living your life with greater clarity\, ease\, freedom\, and resilience. Purchase your tickets today! \n\n\n
