"The secret to success is not to become perfect. It’s to become more aware of, “Who am I?”; “What am I thinking?”; “What am I feeling?”; “What am I doing?”

EFR 464: Shut Up and Sit: Finding Silence and All the Life-Changing Magic that Comes with It with Yedda Stancil
The secret to mindfulness, according to Yedda Stancil, is understanding that “beliefs are not who we are.” She stresses the importance of self-awareness to be able to catch the thoughts that feed into our belief system, because our truths define neither us nor the people around us.
Chase and Yedda look back on the evolution of their respective careers. They reflect on the various opportunities they’ve faced and the many challenges to their beliefs over time, and how these experiences gradually shaped their purpose and their truth—what Yedda calls “the awakening of my narrative.”
Yedda goes on to share how she works with clients looking to experience change by helping them bring to the surface those things that are already inside them—to help them realize that they are enough.
Yedda is a consciousness coach and highly sought-after consultant for both individuals and organizations. She is the founder of Fantastically Fit! Inc. as well as Mindfulness Bar in Richmond, Virginia.
She is the author of Shut Up and Sit: Finding Silence and All the Life-Changing Magic that Comes with It and the host of the Shut Up & Sit Podcast.

Powerful Quotes by Yedda Stancil
Mindfulness allows you to stop long enough to ask, “What am I thinking?”
It’s okay for us to believe in different things. Our beliefs are not who we are.
The whole secret around mindfulness is: I’m not on one spectrum or the other. I’m able to be in the middle and hold two truths at one time.
Everything I’m attacking other people for is how I’m working out my own stuff.
Once I possess the belief system, I don’t have to talk about it anymore because I already am it.
Your external world is a complete and total manifestation of your internal world.
