What can we do when life doesn’t go as planned and shit goes down? Why saying no to judgment in those moments will help you feel better, happier and more confident? 

In this episode, I share three ways how to stay calm, more positive and confident even if life is like a rollercoaster. We’ll talk about empathy, feeling curious and thinking out of the box. 

Feeling empathy can sound like a cliché, but I share how this can shift your feelings in a powerful way. A simple “mind trick” of imagining a child instead of an adult can entirely shift your perspective and you’ll find yourself in a more loving space instead of the mess of your negative emotions created by judgment. 

I explore what being curious can do for you when shitty things happen. I use the specific and real example of a break-in into our car a couple of weeks ago. When things go wrong for you, this is an amazing way how to change from sucky to compassionate. 

Thinking out of the box is the third way how to react to uncomfortable and uninvited situations in a loving way, instead of in fear or anger. I’ll talk through how we often have many more options than we actually see and how realizing this can be liberating. 

I’ll help you to put all this into practice and test it out on the real challenging situation you’re experiencing right now in a live workshop I’ll hold on Thursday 23rd March. Grab your free seat now so you can get unstuck and realize what your best next steps are. If you want this for yourself, pop in those headphones, let’s dive into these three strategies on how to react in a better way and let’s decide to Screw Being Unhappy! 

===This episode’s coaching and action === 

Hard on yourself or others? • Yourself: look up a photo of you as a baby or a toddler and carefully see how amazing is this being. This is your real essence which is still inside of you, try to access it. • Others: how would you react if the adult in front of you was a child? No idea what’s going on? • Instead of judging instantly what is going on, put on your traveller hat and try to understand more about what is behind the situation. Just like a visitor to a distant country seeing a strange ritual for the first time ever. Out of options? • Brainstorm all the options you might be having. Be outrageous, brave and crazy. After having a long list of options, see if some of them are realistic and doable – here goes your earlier unseen option c), e) or f)!
