Simply put; what’s the point of having self awareness if you can’t use it to your advantage. Knowing yourself, truly knowing yourself, provides the groundwork to make short term and long term goals that makes sense for you. You can’t deny who you are and think you can build trust and habits. So now that we have a better understanding of ourselves we should integrate that into our mindset and expectations of ourselves and the world around us. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heidi-vega/support

This episode hits home for several reasons. Getting to know myself is one of the biggest reasons I was able to lose 30lbs last year and leave a toxic relationship. It is a never ending journey that I have stopped fighting. I am always amazed at how something so simple has had such a big effect and I want to share some of that enthusiasm with you guys today. I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, just another human being who believes she is a work in progress and who has started loving and trusting herself, and it’s rooted in getting to know myself, the good, the bad and the ugly. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heidi-vega/support

This is the start to a series I am doing this month, the focus being on creating a more resilient mindset and learning to trust yourself. Validation seeking is much more prevalent, most likely due to social media but caring how others feel about you is natural. Yet, when what others think about you is ALL you focus on and care about, it can lead you to live an empty life that seems never enough. We have to find a balance and understand three key realities in order to strike that balance and that is what I will be outlining in this episode. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heidi-vega/support
