ACTUALLY, YES!

Today I talk about a few challenges that occurred with me the last couple weeks. Sometimes we need to take a step back and see with fresh eyes or ears on situations. Challenges are good although most of us may dislike them, especially me lol. Oddly enough we can actuay learn a lot from them. Challenges help you grow.

Have you ever thought well I'm not perfect at this topic or situation so I give up. Or I'll never be able to do this? 

Well friend, I too am guilty. 

I get in these mind states that IT HAS TO BE PERFECT before I share my idea or share what I have been working on. Or that hey, I was doing good for a couple days, but Wednesday came around and I ate that cupcake or I skipped a gym day so I guess I should just stop trying. Or that since I do not have all the high tech equipment I will never succeed at being a podcaster. Fill in the blank for you.

We and I forget sometimes that the ACT of doing is STILL beneficial. That you can mess up and that makes you human. That bouncing back and JUST STARTING is MORE advantageous then waiting til everything is perfect.

To say the least this year has had some unexpected turns to say the LEAST. However, we can look at these situations from a growth perspective or we can be held prisoner in our thoughts and everyday lives. Trust me I am not all sunshine and rainbows. I actually have a lot of stormy days, but I try to learn from them and let them happen.  Life is too short and hearing the words "I never expected this!" from my patients has been changing my perspective lately.

In society we are given this road map of how life is SUPPOSED to be. That if you follow the directions you will end up at your destination and you will be happy and achieve everything your supposed to. That is....... IF you stay on the path. What if someone had told you that it is ok to venture off? That instead refer to the map as a guidance rather than a MUST follow.  That using your compass (even if you have no idea how to use one *cough cough* me lol) COULD lead you toward your purpose? Today I compare both and how it has played a role in my life.   References: Cathy Heller Author/Podcaster for Don't Keep Your Day Job: Chase Jarvis on His 4 Step IDEA System & Finding the Path to Your Creative Calling  Chase Jarvis Photographer/Entrepreneur

Does anyone else feel "dirty" when it comes to talking about money? I know I do at times. Do you every catch yourself saying things like I was not born into a rich family so I can't afford certain trips, cars or even think about becoming a millionaire? Same here friend! The truth is, actually we can! Will it take some time YES, but again it is all about the mind state!

Yes, a legit tiger! Not a kitty cat. Unless you are terrified of those lol then that works too.

Do you get highly stressed out with bills, providing for your family or yourself, wearing too many hats constantly? Then you may be stuck in the (I'm getting eaten by a tiger stage).

I try to break down the Sympathetic Nervous System (fight or flight) and Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest/digest) to help you understand what could be happening in your body and how it has related to my own. 

I break down and talk about how chronic (long term) stress can hinder your health.  On the other spectrum I give some tips on how to get back to or swing toward the rest and digest phase, because in the end we should be fluctuating between the two. 

Again, rate, share, review and add me on IG @jalapenofilipino I would love to hear from you :)

**Disclaimer seek medical help when necessary. I am not diagnosing. This is just to help you understand the SNS and the PNS. 

Having a baby can be scary, exciting and challenging. On top of that can you imagine trying to navigate that through a pandemic? I know I can't. With that being said today I have my dear friend Jillian talk about her personal experience. 

1. She talks about what she envisioned her pregnancy would have looked like if Covid did not happen/before baby was born vs how it actually was

2. What her support system was like

3. One thing he wished she would have known then that she knows now

Don't forget to leave a comment, like this podcast and share it :) Also, find me on IG @jalapenofilipino 

Why is it so easy to down play our victories?

This week I talk about how I down played my own victory of reaching 500 LISTENS on this podcast! That who am I to get all excited about that many listeners? That there are people out there who have reached 500 in like a couple weeks or days compared to me who took a couple months. 

I talk about how we NEED to stop down bursting our own bubbles and how we should be celebrating more of our accomplishments. That we should be proud of yourselves and that we ARE a working progress.

That having healthy relationships around who help see our victories too instead of putting us down. 

That instead of being jealous of people who reached their goals. That we instead become genuinely happy for them cause they too had to start somewhere.

And to just LIVE IN THE MOMENT. If you reached your goal THROW CONFETTI in the air, eat that ice cream bar, post about it whatever  makes your heart happy! 

Please leave a review and tap those stars :)

I would love to connect with you!

Today's episode is me guiding you through my first podcast meditation. Focusing on your breathing is so much more. Not only does it help you relax, but it also helps you to apply this tool in stressful, nonplanned or planned situations to help gain control and a neutral perspective. 

Have you ever just got into a fight or you just thought of something that just ruffled your feathers like ahhhhh. Well sometimes just taking 2-3 mins to just be in the now and just focus on NOTHING but your breathing can help you neutralize and reassess any situation with a clear head.

Please feel free to like, share, write an awesome review and if your feeling spunky DOWNLOAD if for later too :) 

Thank you for listening and I hope this helps you in all aspects of your life <3
