This Quote Changed My Life

Tracey @makesunshineco 

We’re talking about fear and the way it stops us from doing the things we want to do. Fear is at the base of any time we show hesitation or doubt. I’ve spent alot of time, and wasted alot of time, making decisions based on what scares me, and I think it’s something we need to face.

Here are 3 quotes to help us look at fear and how it stops us.

This week we’re talking about intentional choices that we make (or don’t make). What do you choose? Who do you want to become?

I’m a bit late but back for another quote to share with you :)

This week is a quote that helps us stay on track towards our goals!
What we focus on is what we get - whether its our work, our relationships, our health - where our energy goes Is important

new week, new episode, new quote to share with you!

I really wanted to talk about how we try to remember to do the things we like, even if they seem weird to others, or not what is expected of you. Staying true to what you like is keeping aligned to who you truly are - I love the weird ones, because I know they have the confidence to be themselves :)

Are you putting off something until ‘the time is right?’ Or you ‘felt better’? Or ‘knew more’?

Sometimes we just need to jump in - today I’m taking about changing the way we look at ‘ready’ and perfection so we can start living again!

Trying a new thing with some nice relaxing videos for the video version of the podcast this week. What do you think?

Thank you so much for your patience - I was supposed to be back last week, but I underestimated how much time I would have to myself and then it was Friday and still no podcast - which is completely okay for course isn’t it?

This week’s episode is about building better habits so we can stay on track with our goals :) I have 3 quotes that I’d love to share with you!

I didn’t come into camera today to record the podcast so only check out the video version if you want to see the artwork I made for each quote ;) 

Let me know which quote is your favourite, come and find me on instagram @makesunshineco

Hooray it’s episode 80! I’m so glad you made it :) 

This week I wanted to talk about a set of words that have kept me going while I start to understand and work through my OCD and anxiety - a lot of the healing is through action and being and doing, so working with our brains (thoughts) and teaching our bodies (action and stored trauma) new safety signals is how we start to live with challenges like this.

i’m taking a 2 week break while my kids are on school holidays, so I hope you can check back on a past episode or two while I‘m away. Let know if there are any quotes you love - come and find me on instagram @makesunshineco or thisquotepodcast.com

see you soon!

Hey guys, I’m back with a new episode - maybe one of the most important ones I’ve made. 

If you can watch this video on Spotify or YouTube, i’m sharing with you (visually) 2 things - my eczema rash and a mini vlog from my trip into the city over the weekend. It’s the first time I’ve shared a photo of my eczema online - I’m about 3 months into this flare up and it’s sucks BUT I know someone will relate. I really like making videos - so if you like seeing more about my life, let me know on instagram @makesunshineco so I can create more for you :) 

Remember this quote - we cannot change everything, but we can choose alot of things instead and despite it. What do you choose?

I hope this episode makes sense to 1 person LOL

let me know it it resonated with you on Instagram where I’m also behind on posting ;) 

@makesunshineco 

Dare yourself to do the scary things! I wanted to talk about following your fear, not letting fear hood you back anymore.
If something scares you, maybe that’s a sign for you to try it out?

I’m back! 

this week I’m taking a bit about learning experiences - whether it’s in hindsight, or using mindfulness when we’re in the middle of it. 

I do believe we can learn something from all experiences  in life, and while it never feels easy or good, it’s worth knowing you will be okay and something will come from it.

come find me on instagram @makesunshineco 

im also uploading the video version of my podcast here on Spotify too! 

This week I’m talking about why just dreaming and manifesting won’t decide your future…. Your habits will!
Back with video together with this podcast, not my usual set up BUT I’ve turned up LOL

What do you think? Do you agree? 

What good habits have you set up, in order to reach your goal?

Hello! I am back for another episode of the podcast - no YouTube video of me recording this for you again this week, but I wanted to share this new quote with you this week :)

Nothing triggering in this episode (I hope), but this quote is helping me stay present and not try and worry too much about what may or may not happen in the future. I hope it gives you a little courage and inspiration to keep going, to stay mindful and embrace the current moment you're experiencing a bit more.

This episode is sort of a 'part 2' from last week's quote - I think once you know who you AREN'T, then asking yourself these 3 questions becomes easier. 

Who are you? What do you want? How are you going to get there? 

This doesn't just apply to your career choices - think about it as a guide & compass for anything in your life that you really want to work on right now. Relationships, your physical health, your mental health, how you speak to yourself, how you parent...

Ever hit a point in your life where you don't know how you are anymore? 

I  wanted to share this quote that helps me figure out who I am at this  point in my life (and would of been so helpful at past turning points in  my life!).  

I hope this quote helps you figure out some things x   

Come find me on Instagram @makesunshineco and thisquotepodcast.com Tracey x

Today I talk about how being intentional with finding the good in a bad situation helps me. How can we learn from crap situations and make the  best of what we've been given.   

(Yes, this is a Coldplay song from their album Parachutes - have you  heard it before?)  

Come find me on Instagram @makesunshineco or thisquotepodcast.com

This week I'm talking about being stuck in a comfort zone, whether it's lack of motivation or your own anxiety - when you always say no (when you could say yes) can create a lifetime of regrets. 

How are you holding yourself back? 

How will you push past your obstacles and start moving forward? 

Come and find me on Instagram @makesunshineco or https://thisquotepodcast.com

I think the whole world is feeling all kinds of stuff right now - I've been keeping it low this past week and wanted to share some words of hope, instead of my usual motivational story telling. There's never enough words I can share that will ever be enough, but I hope this small offering helps someone today.

I hope wherever you are in the world, you are safe.

This week's quote is a long one (LOL) so it's not in the full title of this episode, but there it is: 

"how cool is it, that the same god that created oceans and mountains and galaxies, looked at you and thought the world needed one of you too"

I thought this quote was so special - it really encapsulates how I feel about celebrating who we are and embracing our uniqueness, instead of trying to fit in with others.

I'm Still Standing -  How To Find The Light In The Shade 

Hey guys I am back after a short break (#life) and talking about how I am getting through some uncomfortable and trying times lately. Gratitude and mindfulness can exist even when we're not feeling the best, and I dare to say that that's when we nee it the most. 

So if you find yourself dealing with a chronic illness, or you're going through a rough time in your life, I encourage you to have a listen to this episode and see if you can find some inspiration to upgrade your mindset. 

I'm Still Standing is a song by Elton John. 

Find me @thisquotechangedmylife on Instagram and Facebook 

No, we are not talking about learning how to take on Ariana Grande - we are talking about your authentic message and whether you are communicating who you really are. To sing YOUR song, is to be brave and create a life based on what YOU want, spreading YOUR message and also respecting others for doing the same. 

Find me on Facebook or Instagram @thisquotechangedmylife and let me know if you are singing YOUR song. 

Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy

Have you ever thought to yourself - I could never be like her? Or she has such a perfect life, I wish I had that? Well, today's episode is all about comparisons and what we are telling ourselves when we start to compare ourselves to others. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, you can find me on Facebook or Instagram as @thisquotechangedmylife 

Old Ways Won't Open New Doors! 

It's hard to admit when you need to change, that what you learnt and what you just 'do' is just not working out for you anymore. Letting go of bad habits can be the hardest thing you'll attempt in life, but when you start to get honest with yourself - you start to open up those new doors and get to experience more wins, more losses - more life. 

Let me know what you think of this episode by leaving me a message on my Facebook or Instagram @thisquotechangedmylife

In this episode, I'm talking about the quote You Get What You Work For.

Yes I know, but we just talked about Progress Over Perfection?! But hey, here me out. Sometimes you need to hear it again, but in a different way. Take responsibility and ownership of your actions and your results.  

Let me know what you thought of today's episode, you can find me on Facebook and Instagram @thisquotechangedmylife - I'd love to know the quote that's changed your life! If you have the Anchor app, find my podcast and leave me a voice message! 

 In this episode, I talk about a quote that is actually a book title!
 

The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday
The Ancient Art of Turning Adversity to Advantage
 

I love this quote and book title because it challenges you to see obstacles differently.  Change your mindset to see the things that ONCE limited you, into a to-do list of things you should try.
