Ep. 17 Taking One Step with Dr. Nicole Bradford

This episode is about Dr. Nicole Bradford sharing her wisdom of taking one step or one day at a time to achieve what you really want in life. Dr. Bradford discusses how what you say to yourself can either lead you closer to your goals or push you further away. You have the power to change the situation you are in. By taking one step or one day at a time, what you want in life is available to you.Dr. Bradford tells you how to set 3 goals for yourself as well as 8 strategies for life. Additionally, she discusses topics such as how you have to learn to confront yourself. Stop accepting what you say to yourself as an automatic truth. Ask yourself, is it true? Is it advice you would give to your best friend? If not, then change what you are saying to yourself right away. Additionally, advocate for yourself. Stand up for yourself. You are worth the effort.She also gives an analogy of walking through target and picking up things we don’t need or even want really. It is so similar to what we do in life, isn’t it? People say something mean or hurtful, and we put it in our basket. It is amazing to me how very little of the good things seem to go in the basket. We need to watch what we allow to go in our baskets for sure. I love how she also says that if someone says something that can be hurtful or limiting to you, just say you know what? I disagree and I am giving that back to you. I absolutely love that…even if you only say it in your mind, it is a powerful tool.Dr. Nicole D.
