Brooke Snow Podcast

Self-Care is a hot topic and I've found that many people interpret it differently depending on their experience. To some it's a girls night out, it's a bubble bath, it's mani's and pedi's or a mini vacation. To others it includes time to workout, be in nature, read a good book or just have some general time to yourself. All of these things are good. And as you have probably come to expect from me, I'm going to take you deeper. Today's podcast topic is a bit of a play on words. What is true-self care? I'm talking specifically about your true-self. How to you care for your true-self. What the difference is between your true self and false self, and what caring for your true-self may look like for you.

In today's episode we're talking about finishing the year strong. We have just entered the last quarter of the year, and it's notorious for being one of the busiest and most overwhelming seasons of the year. It's exciting to start out in January with a fresh perspective and renewed motivation to pick up the slack in all the areas we let go. However, I have learned for myself, that the way you finish is just as important if not more important than the way you start. I'm going to give you a few tips on how to renew the fire for the home stretch.

Do you ever get to the end of the day and wonder if you did anything worthwhile? What makes a day successful to you? Do you have a measurement or standard that helps you gauge how things went? If you're living in survival mode, it can sometimes be as simple as making it to the end of the day in one piece. If you are aiming to live more in thriving mode, there are two requirements that I have found that create a successful day in the most exceptional way. I'm going to share with you what those two requirements are, and bonus, they're actually quite simple and easy enough to make happen every single day. Because let's be honest... life is a whole lot better when you get to the end of each day feeling like a success. Let's talk about how to make that happen.

Today's episode gives a sneak peek into my new Christian Meditation course that opens this week for registration. If you've listened to my podcast very long, you know that I am devoted to the practice of meditation and constantly talk about it's benefits. What you may not know, is that meditation has saved my life. Not once, but twice. The first time I was literally in mortal danger, seconds away from death.

In this episode I'm going to share with you the introduction recording from week 1 of this course when I share my own story. I have now practiced meditation for nearly 3 years, and if there was ever a powerful testimonial of the transformational power it holds, my story has it all.

Today's podcast is all about the eternal law of progression I call, Line Upon Line. It's the principle that we each progress incrementally one step at a time. We aren't designed to skip ahead, instead we are governed in our growth one step after another. You likely already know this, yet, if you're like me, sometimes this principle can be frustrating and discouraging, especially when you're own progress feels feels slower than you'd like. Today, we're going to talk about how this principle shows up even in how God creates and why it's so important that our growth happen this way instead of jumping ahead. I'm going to teach you the 4 layers of growth, how you can use this law to greater benefit to speed up your progress instead of feeling like it's slowing you down.
