“Hey, good for you. That’s awesome.” It’s a phrase we often both say and hear, but do we really always mean it? And if you don’t feel like something is truly awesome, are you being disingenuous by saying it is? This week, Hallie and I break down why saying “that’s awesome” can be an incredible tool, and how we can use it to observe what comes up in our emotions, mind, and outer reality. We talk about how to reframe your inner dialogue to enjoy life’s experience even for the seemingly less awesome things in life, and how that subtle shift will help you play checkmate with life.
