info_outlineLiz was recently interviewed on a talk show, and a phrase that kept coming up was “finding joy.” When we’re in a difficult situation and making hard decisions, we can get so caught up in the stress and anxiety of it all that we forget to find joy in our lives.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
-
You can’t love the people around you to the fullest extent if you’re walking around as a dulled-down version of yourself. Going through divorce or other major life change is always challenging. We’ve learned to aim for freedom, not from others, but within ourselves to be the best version we give to the world.
-
Before you immediately judge someone, take a beat and consider where they might be coming from, and where your feelings are coming from. What is triggering your fear? Is the other group actually hurting anyone?
-
Be brave (but polite and respectful, of course!) and if you see a celebrity who you really admire, let them know how they impacted you. It’s easy to get intimidated and starstruck in those moments, but remember they’re a human just like anybody else.
Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.
