In this episode, Chris shows us the power of forgiveness, and that forgiveness is not letting someone “off the hook”, but that it is actually self-care. Carrying grievances, even if they are justified, does not make the baggage you carry less heavy. Grievances weigh us down, and holding onto them only creates darkness in your heart & soul. Releasing the chains of grievances is the way to inner peace.

In today’s episode, Chris teaches us that the creative power of our mind and soul is never more evident than when you flex the mental muscles of your imagination.

Happy New Year! This can be a time where we take stock of our lives, and sometimes judge ourselves harshly when we haven’t met our goals or intentions (our scripts) for the year. Chris shows us how dangerous “script-writing” can be and how important it is to understand that life is never going to follow the rigid scripts we write. The happiest people are the ones who ditch the scripts and “go with the flow” of life. May you greet t...
