Dominiece Clifton Season 3 Episode 35

“Life is not a sprint; it is a marathon. If we give everything we've got in these first few miles, we won't have anything left for the rest of our lives. We must control and refuel it through mindfulness.” 

Women, moms, entrepreneurs, and working professionals often neglect their happiness and well-being in pursuit of their dreams. We leave ourselves out of the picture.

Taking care of yourself isn't selfish; it's essential for your happiness and those around you. We must prioritize ourselves and learn how to recharge our souls. From self-compassion, re-establishing a relationship with our body, and finding joy in the present moment. All the ways to own your happiness and make yourself a priority. The key is to allow yourself to focus on your happiness.

Exceptional Highlights

  • Being compassionate toward yourself and letting go of shame and guilt can help you shift your perspective.
  • Awareness is the muscle we build through yoga, breathwork, and meditation. Our joy lies in the present, our suffering in our heads, in the past, or in the future. 
  • You are the source of your own happiness or unhappiness. No one else can do it for you. You are the only person that can prioritize YOU. Stop carrying guilt, especially when it's not benefitting you.
