Just caught up on this after a week of work travel and being sick. Glad it was recorded it was a great discussion.
Are you addicted to The Matrix?
The temptation is real. It can come from that processed food that tastes so good, that cocktail that allows you to "loosen up," That slip? of the tongue that gets your ego the last word, the list goes on and on, and we all take a bite from time to time. I know I do, but I also know that all of those "Matrix Things" are designed to do one thing: enslave us! No, not put you in lockdown immediately, but do it in more of a seductive way. Man, that first bite was good; let's do one more... etc., etc. If you fast-forward it out, you can see that, ultimately, it does make us a slave. Have you ever experienced this? Sometimes, you just have to choose the uphill in the moment because the moment is all we have. If you, like me, slip up from time to time, just remember that every moment provides a new opportunity. Every decision makes a difference, and even if you don't do them all right, win the majority, and you are well on your way! Be Blessed!

I think for me it's more stress than temptation. But I do appreciate the encouragement to win the majority if there are times there will be that slip. Give yourself grace so you don't get discouraged and give up.

@Brad Pickett "Can you avoid the temptation to be stressed?" That's part of why I'm here. One of my "stucks" is my job which is the stress, but I know that the issues I'm dealing with in figuring out my next chapter is the fear.
Fear and ego
I watched all of fear and ego and man I see part of why I'm stuck. Going into this, I knew fear was the main culprit, but I did not factor ego. I didn't think ego was a factor until the layers were peeled a bit more in the videos. I was looking at ego in a different way and in reality it is 100% playing into the fear on the issues I'm stuck. I think I'm stuck because these require me to make decisions for love in myself. I'm so used to making decisions because of other people and how it affects them and how much I care about them so it makes it a no brainer to make those decisions and with love. But I'm struggling doing it for myself. I need to sit on this a bit more today since it's eye opening looking at it this way.
Intro
Hi Everyone. I'm from NH and currently wishing I was somewhere warmer. I work in the nonprofit sector and have for over 20 years. I did the 21 day Shift and really appreciated a lot of what I learned and able to accomplish. I signed up for this continuation of the Shift because I feel stuck in a couple of areas in my life right now and I know it's me/my mindset.

@Cori Ross I really am trying to tell myself 25 degrees isn't that bad and spring is coming. I have to travel for work and I'm thinking I need to hit Florida for a few days :)

@Deb Dietz 61 sounds so warm....I was talking to one of my employees who lives in south FL on Friday and she was saying it was so cold and she was wearing a sweater with a thermal underneath. It was 72....I burst out laughing.
