EP. 63 The Scary Reality Of Not Getting Help
10/31/19 • 30 min
The entire Halloween season is about pretend stuff that’s meant to make our imaginations run wild and scare us. However, I think that reality is much scarier than any commercialized holiday could ever be. Think about those pumpkins with “student loans” or a “check engine” light on them...things like that prove that everyday stuff is scarier than any spider or haunted house could ever be. When it’s a scary movie you can just turn it off and walk away, when it’s your mental health or piles of debt, you can’t.
In this episode, I’m sharing how to defeat the darkness that is consuming your life and what the scary reality of not getting help could look like.
IN THIS EPISODE, SAMI SHARES ABOUT:- When reality becomes scarier than fantasy
- Motivation to keep going when your life is overwhelming
- How to go from surviving to thriving in every aspect of your life
- Where to start with Positive Thinking, Goal Setting, Minimalism, Budgeting, and Time Management
- Enroll in the new course, Control Your Crazy
