Have you ever dreamed of achieving something, something huge, and then when you start to see your dream becoming a reality you freak out? In this episode we're talking about this very thing. The sort of frazzled, frantic, freak out feelings we get when we see what we desire within arms reach. We talk about how these feelings are totally common as well as ways that we can work with these feelings to keep us propelling forward, rather than sabotaging ourselves. -------------------------------------- Website: www.cherisewilliams.com Instagram: @CheriseWilliams.xo YouTube: www.youtube.com/cherise1218   Facebook: www.facebook.com/cherisewilliams.xo   Make an Appreciation Donation: www.paypal.me/cherisehealingmoon   Purchase The Goddess Life book: http://amzn.to/2GRncKL   Intro & outro music: "Birch Run" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   Podcast Photo: Photographer, Michelle Black www.MichelleBlackVision.c

Releasing ain't always pretty. In fact, it usually isn't. But it's worth it. Oh, is it worth it! Sometimes when releasing things that no longer serve us, we don't really know what we're releasing. At least we aren't consciously aware of it. But that doesn't mean our subconscious and body aren't working behind the scenes. In this episode we discuss what it looks like when we're releasing the unknown. Plus we learn some tools that can help us in the process. Website:

Comparison and keeping score are an awful pattern to get into. The more we compare or keep score, the less we grow. When we compare ourselves and focus on another persons journey, that is energy we are wasting that we could be using on our own growth. In this episode we discuss the Comparison Game and some ways to get ourselves out of it so we can get back to making sure we are living our own best lives. __________________ Website: www.HealingMoonLumina.com Instagram: @CheriseHealingMoon YouTube: www.youtube.com/cherise1218 Facebook: www.facebook.com/cherisehealingmoon Intro & outro music: "Birch Run" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Podcast Photo: Photographer, Michelle Black www.MichelleBlackVision.com Edited by Cherise Williams Wolf from www.ironwoodwolves.com

When we hold onto resentment, it eats away at us. The best bet is to acknowledge and release the resentment by doing something about it. The source of your resentment may surprise you as well!
