Fall is the season of harvest; a moment of appreciation and gratitude. Winter is a hibernation period of inner work, reflecting, and preparing for what's next. Spring is a time of creation, going through the process, and planting the seeds. Summer happens when all of the work from Spring is now flourishing, blossoming, and coming to life. However, each season requires different energies and you cannot force yourself into a season; you have to be honest and honor each season." - Tommy Baker Which season will help you take the next big leap in your life: Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter? --- Join the Wellness Warrior VIP Club: get exclusive discounts on new wellness tools, be first in line for new podcasts, get access to invite-only events, and so much more.** --- Get The Morning 21: A powerful (and free) system designed to give you more energy, let go of old weight, and live life well.

Why honoring your seasons will help you pause and tune into your body. Our inability to force the different seasons in our lives to happen when we don't have the energy or mindset for them.

Why it's healthy to pause and question your path when you're at a plateau and reach a break down before a breakthrough.

Power Quotes From The Show "If we're pushing ourselves and we're thinking bigger and bolder, I sure hope we're also questioning that path. If it's the right path then we'll double down and be more committed. If it's the wrong path, then that will manifest itself." - Tommy Baker The Four Seasons of Life "If you're going to experience a winter season, you have to be prepared for some of the inner work and emotional challenges that are going to come with that. Just like Winter, the seasons of Spring, Summer, and Fall will have their own unique challenges as well. Why do people spend a lot of time in Winter and don't step into their true power in Spring? It's because the idea of creation and birthing something that didn't exist prior to your notion of bringing it to life requires a lot of courage because it's no longer yours and it's out in the world. Once it's out in the world, people can throw stones at it. You can impact people but people can look at what you've done and make assumptions about you. When you're in Spring and Summer, go all in on those seasons; that is your time to literally light it on fire and speak your truth." - Tommy Baker Questioning Your Path "While on your journey of growth and discovering who you are, you will of multiple moments of questioning your path and I never see that as a bad thing. Whether you're on track or off track, questioning your path is very healthy. If you're off track, it's very obvious and hopefully questioning your path will lead to some new insights and breakthroughs that will put you back on track. However, even if you're on track and you're committed to your mission, when you question it, you will have the opportunity to gain new insights and perspectives but also reaffirm your commitment." - Tommy Baker Leaving Space For The Magic "If you don't leave space for the magic, that's a big loss. So, delete some things from your life like social media or binge-watching Netflix. The average American watches 35 hours and 25 minutes of TV a week; that's a lot of magic that's being given away." - Tommy Baker Links From Today's Show Anahata Ananda Resist Average Academy Ep. 92 | 7 Steps For Success in 2018 with Anahata Ananda Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind The Leap of Your Life WFR 063 Karan Bajaj WFR 254 Tommy Baker: The Art of Surrender Larry King Jason Silva WFR 272 Udo Erasmus Resist Average Academy Podcast UnResolution The 1% Rule Tommy Baker – Influencive Blogs Tommy Baker Facebook Twitter Instagram Resist Average Academy Facebook Instagram YouTube About Tommy Baker Ever get excited and inspired by a bold vision — then completely get lost on what to do next?
