From Alcoholism to Bodybuilding Champion Part 2 with Erika Rose

Update: 2022-10-14

Description

The image of the angel and devil whispering in our ears is more than just an anecdote used in religious folklore. It actually speaks to human consciousness and the voices that dictate the way we view the world and the choices we make. When Erika Rose began the step by step journey from her personal rock bottom to the strong, confident woman she is today, she started with awareness. She began listening to her inner dialogue and analyzing whether or not those voices actually belonged to her. With the help of therapy and a regular meditation practice, this young woman wise beyond her years was able to start building a relationship with her future self, the picture of who she wants to be in this world.

Creating a conscious life requires curiosity in the midst of adversity. Asking questions such as “What is this situation trying to teach me?” shifts perspective from victimhood into a growth mindset. Erika encourages listeners to hold the best version of ourselves in mind when making life choices. Then evaluate whether or not those choices align with the big picture vision of who we want to become. When we finally peel back the layers to uncover our authentic selves, we build the confidence needed to achieve our highest goals.
