Welcome to our community, Evelyn! If you haven't checked out our (currently) FREE course, we hope you'll take the time to read through it and watch the videos we created as a guide. About me: I'm passionate about finding and fulfilling my own potential as well as helping others do the same. I have a lot of goals for myself and enjoy making each day full and meaningful. 😊 How can we help you start this journey, @Evelyn Ayelabowo ?

@Matt Wong @La Risa Cooper

Yeah when I tried the mushrooms from rize, I had to add it to my coffee to make it digestable lol. I didn't know that about mct oil, though. I used to have that in my protein shakes, but maybe I'll try it again in the morning for brain fog. How do you take yours, @Allen Aronica ?

Thanks for the book rec, @Scott Waters . Sounds like a good read. Yeah, I agree, moving too quickly is not good for our nervous systems or relationships. The older I get, the more I experience and believe in this. And the more important peace and quality relationships matter.

Hey Allen, welcome to W&W! Thanks for sharing, too! Honestly, and I really hate to say this because it’s not that encouraging, you nailed it. One foot in front of the other, one step at a time, doing what you have to regardless of how you feel, just trying to keep that momentum. That’s what progress and strength looks like, my friend. @Scott Waters reminds me often that my messy weakness looks like strength to the outside world. So does yours. The only other thing I can add is a mental reminder that this life IS hard so trials and challenges are to be expected, but they are all temporary. When hard comes, good is right around the corner. And when good is here, tough will always follow it up. We have to embrace both and do the best we can with what’s in front of us. Sometimes it’s hard and there’s no relief. That’s my day today, too. Really effing challenging, and I’ve had to lean on so many people for strength. Then I come here and read your post, @Allen Aronica, and see that I’m not alone. See, maybe your battles are meant to encourage people like me on a day when I feel like I’m getting beat down and losing mine. Anyway, I’m glad you’re here. Keep fighting. If you will, so will I. One day at a time.

Welcome, Donny! Thanks for joining and posting here. :) First of all, thanks for your honesty. We are pleased with you and your vulnerability. 😆 In all seriousness, I could see how this issue may be holding you back from achieving your full potential. We're glad to support you on your journey! For people-pleasing, I would suggest turning your focus inward (instead of outward, toward other people) and learning what YOU think, what YOU value, and what YOU need. You could ask yourself those questions throughout the day, and practice listening to the quiet voice inside that holds that information which you may not always listen to. Practice "radical honesty" with yourself by answering those questions as directly as possible, regardless of what it is or how it sounds. That will tell you more about yourself, which you will need in order to learn to "please" yourself instead of others. It takes a lot of focus and intentionality!
