This episode hit home! I cried when listening to this. I have been so stuck and miserable in my life for such a long time. Always focusing on the negative and what is going wrong, not realizing that I am the one that needs to change it. Thank you so much! I am literally at my breaking point from constant misery and atleast now I know what to focus on to make change occur. Your show is amazing ❤❤

You're allowed to be happy. You deserve to be happy. You are worthy of joy. You are pure light. Therefore your natural state is a happy one. Being open to recieve more joy starts in the micro moments. Celebrating the little wins. Smiling just because. Focusing on the good that already exists. There is always a reason to feel grateful and feel happy. Sometimes you just have to look a little harder.❤

Omg thank you, Mel. ❤ I love the swinging doors metaphor. I will be transparent and admit I have had a 3ft steel door closed and have had the sword in my hand for a very long time. I am committed to dropping the sword and allowing happiness in. I deserve it! ❤

One of the amazing things that are said behind your back Mel is —- “Mel Robins said something to me that saved my life not just saved my life - but I was on my would be death bed and she said something that opened my mind and saved my life!!” I say this to everyone and for the rest of my life this will be something said about you Mel ..

Mel! I wanted to tell you that this episode hit the "homerun" on my billboard of me! I've been avoiding your podcast since not completing my workbook and feeling bad about it. I'm so grateful I listened to this one because I truly believe you've given me the tools to figure out how to find that happy me again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you, too!
