Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

Have you given up on making new year's resolutions or setting new goals because they haven't stuck in the past?

Or have you decided to give one another a shot for 2023 but you really don't know how you're going to succeed at it?'

In this episode, I'll give you three questions to consider that will help you see why your goals have fallen off the radar in the past and how to manifest what you want for yourself this year.

Contrary to popular belief, discipline, and willpower aren't the keys to successful behavior change.

When you support yourself with self-compassion, patience, space, and the right mindset, you'll get a lot farther with your goals and you'll have a lot less frustration.

Check out this week's episode and get the right start at succeeding in whatever you want in 2023.

There are some things I see women do a lot of:

-Criticize themselves

-Judge themselves

-Belittle themselves

-Minimize their accomplishments

There are some things I want to see women do more of:

-Praise themselves

-Embrace their self-worth

-Set healthy boundaries

-Acknowledge their value

We start a new year in two days, and I'd love to see you take the habit of celebrating yourself into that new year.

Wouldn't it be great to make a habit of giving yourself credit, accepting compliments, and knowing you deserve all the best?

Check out this week's episode and see if it inspires you to celebrate yourself and the gifts you bring to this world.

Getting through a hard time and processing a hard time are two very different things.

When we just get through things, that often includes stuffing our emotions, denying ourselves the right to feel, and ultimately creating even deeper trauma.

Processing a difficult is exactly the opposite.

It's giving yourself space and grace and time and compassion.

It's allowing yourself to get the support you need and releasing pain by putting it into words in a form that works for you.

In this episode, I'll share some common thoughts I hear from survivors that tell me they haven't given themselves the space they need and deserve to process what life throws their way.

I'll give you three questions you can ask yourself and consider the next time you feel like life just doesn't fit anymore so you can process what you're experiencing without judging yourself and denying your right to feel.

This is the time of year when we experience so many emotions:

• Gratitude
• Joy
• Stress
• Loneliness
• Sadness
• Love
• Generosity
• Scarcity

Holidays, family, and social engagements can trigger all of these emotions at different times, especially when those we've lost come to mind.

A powerful lesson I've learned as I have processed losing loved ones over the years is that we can give ourselves the grace to choose thoughts that bring us peace rather than thoughts that leave us feeling empty.

Perhaps even better, we can continue to improve our relationship with loved ones who are no longer physically with us.

Check out this week's episode of The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach Podcast, and I'll give you all the details on how this has worked in my life and how it can work for you too.

What if you had the time to do everything you wanted to do?

Wouldn't it be nice to feel relaxed and accomplished rather than rushed and overwhelmed?

Imagine taking time for yourself to relax without telling yourself you "should" be doing something else.

Maybe it's not so much that you can't get everything in and more that there are other ways you'd rather be spending your time?

In this episode, I'll give you a new perspective on thinking about your time that will support you in understanding how to invest your time in ways that are the most valuable to you.

Think about how wonderful it would be to plan your time in a way that intentionally left you with more white space to enjoy your life rather than planning it to figure out how much more you can get done.

Listen now and consider how the way you think about time is impacting your life and your wellness.

I remember when I was a kid, I couldn't hang out with my friends until I cleaned my room. I hated cleaning my room, so I'd fight with my mom, I'd get grounded, and I always thought it was her fault because she was so mean.

Then I became a parent, and I had a mind-blowing moment when I realized the facts were if my kids stopped crying and fighting, the room would be clean in 25 minutes, and they could have what they wanted.

But, because they thought the fact was I was being mean, they made life so much harder on themselves.

Another mind-blowing moment…we still do that as adults!

We get caught up in our own emotions, stories, and interpretations of life and other people, creating stress for ourselves.

In today's show, I'll help you change that.

I'll offer you a simple way to see the difference between the facts you're dealing with and the story about them that's making your life so much harder.

Listen in now and start making life easier on yourself today.

In this season of abundance and gratitude, it's the perfect time to notice how your own words can create or keep you from seeing the abundance in your life.

Gratitude is the key to creating more abundance in your life. When you have a practice of directing your energy into the things you're grateful for, it's easier to see the abundance that already surrounds you.

In this episode, I'll give you a simple practice that you can easily incorporate into your life to skyrocket your gratitude and your ability to think more abundantly.

A gratitude practice doesn't require journals and hours of reflection.

A simple shift in the language you use can shift your perspective and the energy in your life.

As the holidays get closer, we often start to dread holiday gatherings. We think about the people who annoy us and tell ourselves stories of how awful the gatherings will be.

We also follow this same line of thought for many special occasions or even our day-to-day lives.

We think other people are the problem, but our thoughts about other people create our suffering.

In this episode, I'll share a story of how this happened in my life, how I realized what I was putting myself through and how you and I can become more aware of our thoughts and judgments of other people, so we can reign ourselves in and create a more peaceful life.

Is there a difference between being a nice person and being a people pleaser?

That is a resounding YES!

What is the difference?

When you do something nice for someone else out of love, compassion, or the desire to serve, it fills you up.

When you do something from a place of people pleasing, it drains you. You do things for others at a cost to yourself.

Typical costs include:

• Stress
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Fear
• Feelings of inadequacy

Those are high prices to pay, which take a toll on your mental and physical wellness.

In this episode, you'll learn more about what people pleasing is, why you do it, and how to start stopping.

It's a process that's worth the energy.

"Look at the brightside."

"Think positive."

"It's not all bad."

How many times have you thought or been told to think like this when the words just fell flat in front of you?

There are a lot of great things about having a positive attitude and a positive mindset. But, if the positive thought is something that isn't true for you, it's not going to be very useful in helping you move forward in your life, experience the change you need or process the emotions you're going through.

Worse yet, just thinking positive when you don't feel it can throw you into a shame spiral of judging yourself for not thinking the way you think you should be thinking!

Ugh! So meta! ; )

In this episode, I'll help you understand the difference between positive thinking and useful thinking.

I'll offer you two questions that you can apply to the way you're thinking that will move you closer to thinking in a useful way.

Meaning a way of thinking that will move you forward while allowing you to feel everything you need to feel without guilt or shame.
