Every year, the United States celebrates the Fourth of July, a holiday centered around freedom. This occasion prompts reflection on personal experiences of freedom. "How do I personally experience the feeling of freedom? What about you?" asks Marilou Butcher Roth, Master Coach.

Roth suggests that many people take their freedoms for granted, often forgetting that countless individuals worldwide do not share these luxuries. She encourages readers to consider what freedom looks like in various aspects of their lives, such as finances and physical well-being. "Do you experience financial freedom? Or how about your physical body, do you feel free in your body, or are you restricted in some way?" she questions.

Roth advises taking a moment to identify areas where one does experience freedom and to express gratitude for them. For areas lacking freedom, she recommends contemplating whether a different experience is desired and what steps are necessary to achieve it.
