Be a Better Goal Getter

If you are a mom, you've likely used the phrase, "You get what you get, so don't throw a fit!"

Well, as teachers Mel & Kel used that handy saying anytime they wanted their students to graciously take the color or flavor they were given and stop whining!

Does that same phrase apply to us as adults?

Should we accept life as it is and settle in even if it isn't what we really want?

Listen in this week to hear what these girlfriends have to say on the subject.

There are still a couple of days left in the GRATITUDE CHALLENGE!

Grab your copy of the Gratitude Journal Challenge and be sure to join them.

They love hearing from you, so be sure to find them on the socials.

We can agree life is 50/50. Half the time we're up; half the time we're down.

For Mel, this past weekend was a BIG mix of both.

One of Mel's most anticipated life events - the marriage of their oldest son - took place over the weekend - without any family being present. Thanks a lot, COVID!

As thankful as she was that the bride and groom made it to Big Sur safely and exchanged wedding vows, there were also the melancholy feelings, letdown, and disappointment that went hand-in-hand with what should have been a joyous occasion for the whole family.

As great girlfriends do, Kel listened, empathized, and found the silver lining. It's always good to share with friends.

Now it's time to do some intentional, hard-core gratitude, and they are inviting you to join them.

Grab your copy of the Gratitude Journal Challenge and be sure to join them.

They love hearing from you, so be sure to find them on the socials.

No one is looking to be perfect on this podcast. The goal is to keep it real which is exactly what they do.

Positive thinking is great practice. Mel & Kel talk about it every week! But, sometimes a good thought isn't enough.

Have you ever repeated a positive thought over and over and over again?

“I’ve got this!”
“With God all things are possible.”
“This too shall pass.”
“It could be worse.”

Yet, at the end of the day, you still feel overwhelmed?

We can think those good thoughts all day long, but when the circumstance continues to create overwhelm, we find ourselves discouraged. No amount of positive thinking seems to change the circumstance.
My child is STILL struggling with night terrors.
My child is STILL failing with distance learning.
My son is BACK in rehab...again.

Sure, breathing techniques are great. Meditation and prayer are awesome. Even tapping sounds pretty promising.

ACTION matters! There is no result without an action plan.

Listen in as Mel & Kel go over a simple and effective 3-step ACTION PLAN to help you when positive thoughts just aren't cutting it.

It can be tempting to blame others when we feel overwhelmed.

"If she would just stop calling and texting. I'm already so busy! Can't she see how much I have on my plate?"

But here's the thing. People are not the cause of our overwhelm. Our thoughts create that emotion. 

This week, Mel & Kel talk about the many ways we let overwhelm get the best of us. These girls serve up a big slice of ownership and challenge the community of listeners to separate circumstances from thoughts.

Are you up for a challenge? Grab your pen and journal. Let's do some thought work!

Overwhelm is an emotion most adults know well.

Whether it's a demanding job, money problems, relational issues, emotional overload, a long to-do list, or *now* DISTANCE LEARNING - we all experience overwhelm.

Join your girlfriends this week as they discuss what it is and how it feeeeels in our bodies. It can be different for everyone.

Is it bad? Or, can good be found in feeling overwhelmed?!

What's overwhelming you these days?

How can anyone be “confident” about an unknown future?

Anything can go wrong!

Mel & Kel know - first hand - things don't go as planned.

Days, weeks, months, and years are filled with good days AND bad days.

That could leave a person feeling doubtful and discouraged, but it doesn't have to feel that way.
This week the girlfriends discuss how they remain confident when something potentially negative might be lurking around the next corner.

Life is about rolling with the unforeseen circumstances.

There are things we CAN control (positive thoughts, prayer, meditation, fresh air and a long walk) and things we CANNOT control (what-ifs, past decisions, others thoughts).

“We can’t control the wind, but we can adjust our sails.”

This week you're invited to join these girlfriends as they talk about confidence. 

Don't we all want a big dose of that!?

But is there a difference between confidence and SELF-confidence? And can we create our own self-confidence? Can we help our children gain self-confidence?

Maybe we are keeping our children from becoming more self-confident. We may be doing them a disservice IF we are protecting them from the feeling of discomfort. 

Building our self-confidence means experiencing some discomfort. That's okay! It's just a feeling. 

Why not find out what these girls have to say? Tune in.

Don't forget, Mel & Kel love hearing from you. Here's where you can find them.
