The Conscious PIVOT Podcast

At times, we find ourselves in a state of fear which blocks us from all the opportunities that will show up for us to succeed. This leads TED speaker, award winning social entrepreneur, and somatic intelligence life coach Chen Lizra to believe how people are actually more afraid to succeed than not. This is the reason why so many end up self-sabotaging because pain and struggle seems more familiar. Yet many people don’t realize this which causes them to continue with their old ways and crumble into fear. Chen takes us into a path of learning how to live and think in greatness through bodywork and experiencing somatic intelligence. She also talks about the importance of feeling and learning through the body. Enjoy more episodes of The Conscious PIVOT Podcast at AdamMarkel.com or download them on your favorite podcast player.

A lot of people get sucked into the, into the swirling waters of daily life and responsibility and just everything that's on everybody's plate. There's a lot going on that it’s so easy to be frazzled, frenzied, and pressured. Everything piles up and we live in a state of overwhelm. How do you create happiness intentionally?

Sam believes that the happiness we seek is available anytime we want for a moment's notice, and that we see something deeply when we are 100% present. If we stop for a moment even in the midst of that and look around us, we’re reminded of what really matters and gives us more grace about handling the responsibilities in our life. As Henry Miller quote says, when we give close attention to anything, even a blade of grass becomes an indescribably beautiful work.
