Hello! I am Dr. Lori Runge and I am curious… Can you remember the last time you felt at peace with yourself and the world around you!? What would it be like to stop answering to the inner critic that plays in your head 24/7?

Once you have the awareness of your thoughts you have the FREEDOM to choose, to acknowledge, accept or disregard those thoughts. Our thoughts can be pleasant, unpleasant or neutral, once you no longer label thoughts as good or bad, the mind no longer has control YOU do!
