Today we're talking about the fear of making a mistake. The thing is, if you're alive and you're a human you're making mistakes.

We can't go through this life and learn anything new without making some mistakes. These are our opportunities to learn what we do want, how to navigate, how to adapt.

If we don't let ourselves make mistakes we can't learn, we don't have the experience to learn from and your brain needs that reference point to know something is safe, that you won't die. 

Being afraid of making mistakes is what holds most of us back from doing the things we want, or even enjoying the things we are doing.

Give it and give it a listen for more.

Today we're talking about resistance to what is again, but this time we're looking at some examples of "new normal", the moments that change us forever, and the things we just don't want to accept.

So much of our stress comes from resisting what has already happened. Sometimes these things are just annoying and not life altering.

Let's look at where we are holding on to what used to be and not allowing ourselves to live here in what actually exists, in the present moment where we have the ability to make choices and navigate the world as it is now.

Get in there and give it a listen!

Today's episode was inspired by an experience I had last week at my job where I found myself spending my energy and attention on someone else's worry.

We've all done this and know what it's like to revisit our conversations and think "I should have said..." or "next time I'm going to say..."

The thing with this is that we're not allowing the past, this thing that's already happened, to just be in the past. So, then we can't move on with our lives either!

We're carrying around this thing and spending today's energy on yesterday's nonsense, then we wonder why we're short today, why we don't have energy, can't focus, and feel like we're overwhelmed and upset.

I needed this reminder and I'm hoping it's a good one for you too so get in there and give it a listen!

Today's episode we're talking about wellness as an action rather than a state of being. It's easy to look at someone else and think, they're just fit or they're naturally calm, or whatever it is that we see that looks easy to them.... but that thing most likely took a lot of time and intentional effort. 

When we use self-care or pay attention to our body and mind only when there is a problem, like  most of us do, we are showing up a little too late and trying to use self-care as a crisis intervention when it needs to be our consistent practice so we don't reach the injury or crisis mode to begin with! 

Today I share a few things in my life that have helped me to understand this and practice my nervous system hygiene. 

Get in there and give it a listen!

Today's episode is the first one of the new year and I wanted to talk about creating space. There are so many messages around this time of year about new starts, new you, new diet, new workout, new habits etc...

If we don't know where we're at and how we got here we don't have a starting point to work from, so I offer the idea of creating space, giving yourself that pause to assess, reflect, and set intention for the coming day, week, month, and year.

Our power lies in the pause, the space between a stimulus and reaction is that pause where we get to choose to respond, choose our thoughts, choose our behaviours and these things are what create your life.

Get in there and give it a listen for more!

This is the last episode of this year and we're looking at time and how we set our goals.

As we approach the end of this year I am reminded of Einstein's view on time... that it's relative and depends totally on your perception. 

This means that what we can accomplish and how we react to the time we have is totally up to us! This is fantastic news because it means we get to choose to take action, how we take that action and when! 

So, do you need a new you for this new year? Nope, not one bit. 

Is the new year going to magically give you the change you're hoping for?  Nope, not one bit. 

If you're not doing the thing now, waiting to January 1 isn't going to do anything for you, the thing is, you get to choose a pot twist at any moment you like. This is also fantastic news! 

So, all of this and then I leave you ending this year with a few of my most important reminders to keep close as we navigate this life.

Today's episode is inspired by some current events in my life. So many times we create stress by resisting what is, what has already happened that we don't like.

We create ideas about the way something should be and have expectations based in this idea, then when we don’t experience the outcome that we had planned we resist and spend our energy fighting against this thing that already happened…. So we’re fighting the past.

Whether we are feeling a way that we don’t want to feel, or had an experience that didn’t sit right with us one thing is true… what we resist persists…

When a person is dealing with their own anxieties, fears and desires… how much energy is left to deal with what is actually happening?

Today we're talking about the ability to change your mind and be flexible in this life that is full of constant change.

The ability to change your mind and integrate new information to form different perspectives and opinions allows us to release the rigid standards and expectations that keep us overwhelmed and stressed out.

Since our stress response is a biologically adaptive tool to help us learn and grow and change our mind with new experience and information, you'd think it might be easier... but we're humans and we like to make things hard.

This my friends is part 11 of this 10 part mini series because 10 just wasn’t enough to cover everything we needed to just to touch on the fundamentals of the work I do with BBR.

If you’ve missed any of those they’re full of fun science about how you work and how to navigate using the tools you have in you… we’re moving on today to look a the habits we create, how that affects everything from our daily patterns to our brain and stress response. 

Our habits create us, it’s not the things that we do once in a while that shape our lives, but the things we do most often that create us, our perceptions, our health, and how we respond to stress. 

You may not even be aware of what your habits are, this is because about 95% of what we do by the time we reach our mid thirties is done by habit, just running around on autopilot and subconscious programming from previous habits that we’ve created.

Today's Episode is part 10 in this mini series that was supposed to be 10 parts... but we're not done yet... so here we go.

Today we're talking about mindset, I've touched a bit on this in earlier parts of this mini series but it is important enough to give a full episode to so here we go.

I used to think the people who talked about mindset just didn't understand that some of us have real problems. Now I know that our mindset is the foundation for everything we experience in life.

We can't control the world around us but we can choose what we give our attention and focus to and this creates the mental space that leads to the feelings we have and the way we navigate the world around us.

Get in there and give it a listen!
