Waking up to your wonderful life | Michelle Courtney Berry | TEDxIthacaCollege

Описание: This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Each day, we rise from sleep, but many of us aren't truly AWAKE. We drag ourselves through meetings and classes, burning the candle at both ends and feeling like we're just not (enough). We're hard on ourselves and aren't mindful (enough). We worry we won't ever have/or be (enough). We ask for permission (too much). We make excuses (too much). We ignore our heart's yearnings A LOT (in life and love). But you CAN learn how to quickly interrupt patterns that don't serve you, eliminate your "limiting beliefs," and TRANSFORM your life, right now, today by committing to these 7 Agreements: 1. purposeful and intentional heart-based listening and healing, 2. unapologetic self-love, 3. targeted stress management, 4. heart-centered self-awareness, 5. focused self-care for mind, body and spirit, 6. financial sanity, 7. unbridled creativity.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
