"It takes so much more energy to live in lower thoughts and avoid the unknown than it does to just go after what you truly want."
In this week’s episode, we are diving deep into a transformative daily practice, a standard, and a discipline that holds the power to create incredible shifts in your life: Creating Your Highest Self Day.
Every single day, our routine thoughts and actions shape our energy, our feelings, and ultimately, our self-concept. Through the lens of positive psychology, we are often generating either an upward spiral of resilience, well-being, and progress, or a downward spiral of unintentional habits, stress, and disempowered states. The beauty of this practice is that one thought or one small action can change everything.
Today, I’m sharing how you can disrupt the default routines of your past self, break free from comfort-zone thinking, and intentionally design a day that mirrors the exact life you want to live. I share how this exact framework has helped me navigate my own major reinventions, pull myself out of tough days, and build a beautiful, guiding relationship with my Future Self.
Inside this episode, we explore:
- Breaking Up the Default Day: How to interrupt the habitual patterns and low-energy thinking your brain defaults to when it wants to avoid the new or the challenging.
- Highest Self Thinking: Training your mind with deliberate, future-focused thoughts. I share five of my personal favorite daily thoughts—including "Food is Medicine" and "This isn’t a problem"—and how they actively redirect your brain toward solutions, health, and momentum.
- Highest Self Action: Designing the routines, rituals, and flows that reinforce who you are becoming. I discuss how small, high-vibrational wins create an upward ripple effect that impacts your path to becoming your Future Self.
Stepping into your potential and embracing the discomfort of growth takes far less toll on your well-being than staying stuck in low-energy thinking and avoidance. Choosing to live your highest self day, every single day, is the ultimate pathway to creating a high-energy, deeply inspired life.
