Why Bother! Discover the Desire for What’s Next

Jennifer and I discuss her book, Why Bother! Discover the Desire for What’s Next.  Since it’s the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to stop, notice and celebrate the arising of the desire within yourself!  This desire is what gives us the juice, courage, and inspiration to get over the fears that we often feel when we come to this place in our lives.  Let’s take the time today to flip that question, Why bother into something positive!  In my interview, we discuss the six steps of why bother!  

JENNIFER LOUDEN is a personal growth pioneer who helped launch the concept of self-care with her first bestseller, The Woman’s Comfort Book.

What  You’ll Learn

How to go from Despair to the Desire for wanting more!

Steps to Why Bother

• Leave Behind- Examine the excuses we make!
• Ease In-  Get the fire going. You matter and what you want matters! Take the time to turn towards yourself
• Settle In and Find the Stillness.  At our core is peace and well-being. Unless we sit in the stillness we don’t know or hear what we want.  
• Desire- Life is speaking to you. Allow yourself to feel that desire
• Become by Doing-  You begin to experiment
• Be Seen- Be seen as your whole self
