In his From the Heart segment, Dr. Paul talks about what to do when our fears bring us down and cause us to feel stuck. He explains how we can speak to our inner child, the insecure person within us causing fear, and speak empowering words of truth to ourselves. When you’re going through times of struggle, you can reach down within yourself and become your own strength. You’ve got this!
If it's really meant to be so safe and effective? Then why? Why do you have to have these really strange incentives? This was the first time I kind of scratched my head to think, well, I don't know about this one.
— April West
