Life Coaching Tip:\u00a0 You have the power to intentionally anchor in thoughts that generate feelings of inspiration, gratitude, belief, and love. Try adding \u201cNow, let that sink in!\u201d when you have a thought you’d like to hold on to. <\/span><\/em>It\u2019s like giving instructions to your subconscious brain, who listens to you without question.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
