#14: Self Integrity

In this episode, we introduce the idea of self-integrity. Which is identifying the values that we have and keeping the internal and external self in alignment with those values.  The most important relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves.  The way we honor and build this relationship is by showing up for ourselves consistently.  This can be in the goals we set, the plans we make or in the way we talk to ourselves.  This concept of integrity is essential to creating a steady foundation for which we build the best version of ourselves and that "self" can show up everywhere we are and in everything we do.

Take home points:

• You have all the components on the inside you need to run efficiently and effectively and they match everything the way you perform on the outside.
• When we're not living in alignment and not doing what we say, then we lose credibility. Most importantly, with ourselves. We stop believing anything that we say that we're going to do.
• The first thing you need to do is to define your values.
• The second thing we need to do is be mindful of our thoughts, and we know that our thoughts really are the source of everything that happens in our lives.
• The goals that you set for yourself, do it out of love for yourself. Not as a comparison to somebody else or somebody else's expectations for you.
• It's important to set yourself up for small wins. Set realistic and obtainable goals.
• Use your prefrontal cortex, the planning part of your brain!
