98. Are You Holding Yourself Back with ‘When’? Affirmation for Taking Action Today (replay Episode 50)

woman feeling empowered embracing the present moment.

Are you caught in a cycle of "When I... then I'll..." thinking? In today's episode of the Mindful Life Changes Podcast, we confront the "when" statements that are stealthily sabotaging your life's potential. Host Valerie Mekki empowers midlifers, especially women, to shed the procrastination and perfectionism often cloaked in these statements. From "When the kids are older, then I’ll..." to "When I have more money, then I’ll...", Valerie unpacks how these thoughts diminish our sense of self-worth and delay our dreams.

Replacing "when" with "what" can revolutionize your approach to daily living. This episode is not just about challenging your long-held beliefs but about transforming them. Valerie guides you through turning passive waiting into active engagement with life's possibilities. She provides practical steps to shift from dreaming to doing by asking empowering questions like "What do I want for myself right now?" and "What small step can I take today towards my dream?"

Join us as we flip the script from waiting for the perfect time to seizing the present moment with powerful affirmations and actionable advice. Don't miss this transformative journey towards living a life filled with purpose and passion, starting today.
