Rough Starts can still make for a great conversation.  I don’t feel good. Stomach trouble.  Tara hurt her back when she tried a new workout routine called HIIT. I forget to ask her to explain what this is and means.  My best understanding is that it is High-Intensity Interval Training. My stomach, her back, means we are off to a rough start. But, we both know the remedy.  Rest enough and we will regain our health. The body heals itself.  Oh, and I still have a lingering cough, so you hear me opening a cough drop and crinkling a wrapper.  Today we are focusing on change.  Tara came up with this topic and I thought it was important that we did it right, which is why I asked her to take the lead.  If I was going to contribute to this idea, I needed to get out of the way enough to see what we were talking about.  When I did, Tara's purpose and direction led to an amazing discussion. As we get older our life experience compounds and beliefs will be challenged.  It takes courage to change your beliefs We all have permission to change our minds anytime we want. We are often afraid to admit our mind has changed.  Let's start with an example like nutrition.  White Hot Truth - Danielle LaPorte http://www.daniellelaporte.com/whitehottruth/  "Many people including ourselves are afraid to change their minds and behaviors because we identify with them. This is when an inner conflict will arise."  There are other examples: Career change, quitting a habit, finding a new significant other, and something as simple as trying something new or giving up something harmful like drinking diet soda, alcohol.  One thing that can help is something Tara created called Permission Slips.  We are allowed to be a walking contradiction: What does that mean? It means to challenge your beliefs and ask questions all the time.  Where do we start?  Ask the question, Does this Serve Me?  We can also remember that it is okay to disagree.  We don't have to surrender to our beliefs.  About Tara Massan:  Tara Massan is a Yoga Teacher, Personal Trainer, and Lifestyle Coach.  She helps chronically stressed out adults create healthier lifestyles by addressing their obstacles through her 4 Pillars of Health: Mindset-Movement-Nutrition-Rest.  She is also the creator of Be Moved and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, US Weekly and the Huffington Post.  She has also contributed to over 20 publications with one purpose: To help others live a healthier life.  You can connect with Tara by visiting her website www.taramassan.com or emailing her at [email protected]  About the voice behind Storytelling with Seth Seth Singleton is a storyteller.  He is the writing team editor at Blue Alchemy Studios and its upcoming release, Planet Rise and a free-agent writer who works by project and contract.  Seth believes that stories are a common thread that connects us all and that everyone has a story to tell.  You can visit his website at sethsingletonstoryteller.com.  To contact him about a writing or podcast project email him at [email protected]  #SelfAcceptance #Courage #Change #PermissionSlips #HowDoesThisServeMe #Challenge #StorytellingwithSeth
