    Quotes From Paula:

    “Change is the only constant. When we say things never change, that's an excuse to stay stuck in our patterns.”

    “Sometimes we think we’ve let things go and we send theoretical love and light to that experience - but forgiveness doesn’t work like that. It actually takes work to move through it.”

    “This mindfulness stuff is only going to change the world if we can integrate it into the tangible mainstream world. We have to be willing to marry spiritual health and physical health.”

    “There’s an inextricable link between the mind and body, so as you practice mental health you are actually cleaning up your body.”

  • In this episode of the Mind Games Podcast, Hailey goes solo to share how she was able to improve her emotional state in the face of uncertainty. It's not about spiritual bypassing or "faking it til we make it". Hailey shares a few powerful tips to help you go from low emotional states to better ones in just a few short steps. Show Quotes: The fear of the unknown doesn’t have to be fear. If your thoughts aren’t serving you, try and find one thought that feels a little bit better. When we can up-level our thoughts just one level at a time, we learn to slowly climb up our emotional scale into eventually feeing better. We have the power to choose how we want to feel, and knowing that truth gives us our power back because we can finally understand that our human experience is up to us. Each time you have a thought, that thought is creating a groove in your mind. Are you embedding positive thoughts into those grooves? I’m doing this work. I’m in control. I get to choose the thoughts - and to me, that is the best part of this life. It’s everything. If you like what you heard, follow Hailey on Instagram @haileylott_.

And then you get to choose.” - Hailey “Often times we run away from what we think is the shadow, but that’s a problem because we are actually resisting it and making it wrong when it’s not wrong.” - Hailey If you like what you heard, follow Hailey on Instagram @haileylott_.
