Carry On with Criselda

With the new year upon us, what would you like your 2023 to look like in terms of your emotional well-being?  Looking back on 2022, did you focus too much time on negative emotions, lending to unsavory outcomes that you did not intend?  Now’s the time to change your mind set by being attentive to any negative emotions you are engaged in and get yourself back to a balanced emotional state.  When searched online, most emotional scales show the neutral, stable, balanced state, as a state of contentment.  That’s the sweet spot to be in.  Like a pendulum, we swing back and forth from positive to negative emotions and back again.  However, in those times we are stuck in a negative emotion, recognizing it, we should aim to get back to that neutral state of contentment every single time.  Experiencing negative emotions is an unfortunate part of life, however, we must and should develop an unwavering tenacity to refuse staying there long and getting ourselves back to a balanced state of mind.

Holidays, gatherings, and depression, oh my!  For some, it is only a reminder of the loneliness and sadness they endure while coping with what they are missing or can’t have.  Feeling down during the holidays can be due to loss of a loved one, a divorce or separation, or the mere fact that someone is unable to travel to their family, forcing them to spend it alone.  Today’s episode will visit these different causes and offer suggestions on how to get through it, but not in a way that just counts the days until it’s over.  Rather, it’s about changing your mindset to redirect the focus of loneliness or depression onto actually celebrating and thus, thriving.

Have you ever hit a wall or been let down by the unexpected?  Of course.  Most of us have.  What keeps us going?  Perseverance.  In today’s episode, I will offer nine points of motivation to keep on keeping on.  Plus, I mention three examples of well-known people who went through rough patches of their own, which did not stop them in the least to keep going.  Sometimes we all need to hear a word of encouragement to spur us on so that we don’t quit either.  Perseverance is what winners do to reap the rewards they seek.  So, tune in to get your fill of encouraging words for persevering.  Hey – I dare you to persevere through this episode!

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?  What’s the difference?  Why is there a difference?  I, myself, relate more as an introvert which is why this will be more geared toward introversion as I can speak more to that.  However, extroverts are most welcome to listen as you may find you relate to some of the same things or you’ll gain a better understanding of what makes an introvert, an introvert.  Listen in today as I go over some typical traits, nine to be exact, of the introvert.  We’ll also learn why, introvert or extrovert – one is not better than the other.  They are simply different and the reason for that is in the brain.

In an effort to reach a higher level of ourselves, we must sometimes go through processes that are not so easy:  forgiveness of those who have wronged us.  How do we do that when someone really offends us or hurts us?  I will share quotes of prominent people in what they have to say about forgiveness.  I will also explain how forgiveness is for you and not the person who made the offense.  Sometimes it helps to understand that the other person who hurt you, may themselves be hurt.  It is also important to get to the real reason for forgiveness, which is to find freedom and peace within yourself.

Do you have a goal?  A big goal that you’re actively pursuing?  Or has the monotony of life gotten in the way, causing your goal to fizzle out?  Time to get re-motivated with ‘Your Big Why’.  In order to stay focused on your goals and not lose sight of them, we must declare to ourselves the reason why we want this goal in the first place.  It must be bigger than us and bigger than the goal.  It doesn’t just stop with the goal.  What or who will benefit from the outcome?  Knowing these things will help us when we run into obstacles or setbacks.  Instead of getting discouraged or doubting ourselves, remembering ‘Your Big Why’ will nudge us back on course.  Even better, writing the reason down as descriptively as we can, will give us something we can reflect on to keep our mindset right.

Are you the kind of person, when handling anything in life, whether it’s a small task or a big project, you hesitate or take way too long to complete if it isn’t just right?  Yup, you’re probably dealing with perfectionism. 

In today’s episode, I talk about the mental rollercoaster of thoughts that I knew I had to deal with in order to start this very podcast.  From trying to over prepare which could’ve caused me to hesitate to take the leap, to being fearful of what people might think.  Understanding that you just have to take that initial step and keep moving is the key to overcoming perfectionism.  It may be messy at first, but at least you’re making progress which is what counts.

In this episode of Carry On with Criselda, I share my personal journey from being unsatisfied and ungrateful with my situation as it pertained to my possessions to a better understanding of gratitude through letting go of said possessions.  It was in this challenging process of giving away my stuff and donating it that made me realize just how blessed I am in the things I have.

It must be mentioned that the actions shared in this episode are in no way meant to imply that this is what you must do in order to experience or achieve gratitude.  We each have our own journey that we must follow.  It will look different for everyone.

Be encouraged and inspired, that the difference of being unsatisfied to having a heart of gratitude is a more fulfilling and enriching life.

Overwhelm!  Ugh!  How do you deal with it?  Do you have a plan of action when it hits?  Do you even recognize when you are feeling overwhelmed?  Sometimes we are so overwhelmed we don’t even realize we are because we are so focused on our tasks that we kind of tune out how it’s affecting us.

Today, I will give four signs of overwhelm along with five actionable steps you can take today to alleviate it.  I’ll even throw in a bonus because you are awesome for being here!

What kinds of thoughts about yourself run through your mind on a given day?  Are they positive, empowering thoughts that give you the confidence and self-esteem you need to be you?  Or are they negative, cutting thoughts that disempower you and lead you to believe the worst in yourself?  Did you know you don’t have to indulge in a negative thought just because it entered your mind?

In this episode, I discuss how disempowering thoughts about yourself are lies and how you can make a decision to change that, even though you may not believe it.  I will share how you can make an affirmations list and use it to your benefit through a recalibration technique that will help you pivot your thinking from disempowering to empowering.
