"Thoughts are optional.” 

Ever feel like life is happening TO you? Or maybe you struggle with remaining productive while the rollercoaster of life gets a bit too wild? In this episode, Lena Elkins teaches us the process of how we naturally respond to our circumstances...Then, she digs into how we can break the cycle and change the results to suit our goals.

As a speaker, teacher and coach, Lena helps passionate people work through the mindset blocks so they can find solutions and achieve success. "Thought Work," in this case, looks like a five-step process that helps us uncover the why behind our emotional responses. Lena explains how adjusting our thoughts will allow us to alter how we experience any given situation.

Taking charge of our thought patterns is an empowering practice that saves us from remaining in a state of buffering. Lena reminds us not to let go of thoughts from a place of judgement, but rather to learn the skills required to "accept each thought for what it is, judgment-free." This way, we can more swiftly let it go and move forward.
