In today’s IQ episode, Brandy takes a look at two different topics that she has been asked about a lot over the past few weeks, that can be very profound and helpful for your life as well. After the last episode, when Brandy worked with the volunteer Brian, several people emailed in about the topic of hidden hardship patterns, asking questions like, “are there any ways to tell if I have this link?”  This pattern is so common in our culture and yet in many cases, it’s also buried deep in the subconscious mind. For that reason, Brandy wanted to speak directly to this question and answer in a simple, easy way that can help you see more clearly if you have this link - along with a simple shift that you can make to start changing this pattern in your life. Then, in the second part of the episode, Brandy shares with you what she does with her own diet that helps keep her energized. One of the first ways Brandy used energy after she became aware of it was by asking her body and energy what foods it wanted to stay happy and healthy, and it was phenomenal. She could feel when her body wanted certain foods. Every one of us has this connection… we just need to learn how to connect with it. Brandy is a strong believer that every single person should understand their own energy, connect with their own energy and know how to use their own energy.  That is why she created this incredible energy/body video set that can help everyone connect with their own energy and their own body.  In this episode, you will learn: * How to make sure you are not giving positive energy to a hardship situation * Why giving positive energy to a hardship mentality creates more hardship * How to shift the hardship value mentality  * How much the mind can change the energy of the body * Why you are craving unhealthy foods and how it connects with your energy * Understanding your diet and what your body wants * Simple steps you can take to improve your diet * How important protein is for your body * What kind of diet Brandy chooses to keep her body and mind healthy   This episode is for you if you have experienced any of the following: * Chronic cycles of hardship * Feelings of needing to “one up” anyone in a conversation about their pain * Issues with knowing what foods your body needs * Struggles to connect, understand and get information from your body’s energy   Where to Get More Information: * The Mind/Body & Energy Pendulum Course Additional links and resources:  * Website: https://brandygillmore.com * Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/brandy.gillmore/ * IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandygillmore/ * Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrandyGillmore * Training: https://brandygillmore.com/healing * TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dEbqRYqY_0 Please remember that genuine change and follow through are key for self-healing results.
