As the 3rd season of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life winds down, it was time to revisit the initial question of, "what is beautiful work?" Beginning with why do the work and the wonderful opportunities that can come both to your life and the world at large, the hosts speak into the big impact of inner work. Although there is great potential of change from facing inner life and making change from the inside out, many are fearful of finding truth and answers from within.

Past conditioning can control your life. Without concentrated effort, life often feels out of control until you consciously "recondition" your mind to question every choice you make and investigate the intent behind it. In this podcast, you will hear from the hosts how they discern for themselves when they are reactive versus consciously choosing behavior carefully and then redirect choices in alignment with how they want to create their lives today. Strategies and ideas for how to break down old conditioning and create a more conscious and fulfilling lifestyle are offered.

Inspired by the work of Caroline Myss, this meditation focuses on your first three energy centers or chakras to support your shift from a past-focused mind to a present-focused mind, drawing you into the life you want to be living. When we get quiet, and begin to observe the mind, it’s easy to see that habitual thoughts often occupy our thinking. These habitual thoughts generally stem from past experiences, causing us to limit our potential of moving into a more creative life experience. This meditation is meant to introduce you to your three lower energy centers (chakras) and use visualization and affirmations to focus your mind on what you more deeply desire for your life.

Many of us suffer in relationships because we find ourselves in conversations and situations where we don’t know how to proactively respond or act well. The hosts explore aspects of dealing with uncomfortable or painful situations of life so that one can minimize patterns of suffering. Beginning with patterns of criticism in relationships that feel harsh, to being told what to do by others when you aren't looking for that kind of advice, we lessen suffering when we able to respond in an empowered, direct and kind way. All of this means growing your comfort zone, pushing beyond what has been comfortable in your habits and relationships and into a new norm with less emotional pain.

Repeating patterns in our lives, especially if they are self-defeating or limiting, can be a signal that points in the direction of significant change. When we stay in the pattern and feel stuck, this can be truly debilitating. Self-observation can get the process of change started but must be followed up with action that is different. In this podcast the hosts guide you through the deconstruction process of a repeating pattern and work with the change process in a step-by-step kind of way.

Most of us have relationships or people that really rub us the wrong way. We can spend endless hours thinking about how terrible they are and what we want to say to them to make them see the light. Rarely do we use these people to better ourselves, and to reconcile both our shadow side and face our own critical judge. In this podcast, the discussion reorients these difficult relationships to a place where they can be valuable for personal growth and self-empowerment. The hosts offer specific methods to work with these challenging relationships and use them for self-understanding. Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration.
