Learning to forgive is how we let go of resentment. When we get hurt and decide not to forgive we are choosing resentment. We pay a high price when we can’t forgive, because it keeps us from moving on and moving forward. Holding on to resentment doesn’t mean they aren’t going to hurt us again. It is our responsibility to learn our boundaries with that person or situation. 

If you can put yourself in a position, as an adult, to look back on some of the things that occurred in your childhood and ask yourself, is that something that affects me? Is it something that I had any control over and was it really about me? 

Everything other people do is not about us, it’s about them. What you say and what you do may be influenced by other people, but you still have choices.

There’s a lot that goes into working up to forgiveness and a lot of it is self-reflection. 

Going back to a section of the serenity prayer: grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (which is everything other people have experienced, are thinking, are doing); the courage to change the things I can (which is everything I can change within myself. My ideas, my beliefs, the way I was raised, the vows that I told myself, the path that I’m on, forgiveness of self and others, my internal perspective); and the wisdom to know the difference. And yet, we want to change other people so we don’t have to look inside and deal with our own stuff.

Holding on to resentment is like drinking poison hoping the other person will die.

So, you just went Vegan, now what?  What to learn how to prep and cook Vegan dishes without being overwhelmed. Erica Stephens makes cooking easy, with tutorials, classes and a cookbook to help you better understand what foods to eat and how to eat them for a healthy Vegan lifestyle.

Erica's story, I hate to admit, is fairly typical in the US, with the Standard American Diet. She was suffering from diabetes, migraines, high blood pressure and a multitude of other illnesses causing her to take 14 different doctor prescribed medications. She was depressed, facing memory loss and was told she would be living the rest of her life on at least 14 different medications. 

I am happy to say that Erica Stephens has been medication free for over 2 years simply by changing to a plant based lifestyle.  Luckily, her daughter was Vegan and helped her regain her memory and her health by eating a plant based diet. She is still on the path to recovering her health and is dedicated to helping others do the same.  She has created a Facebook group, Website and Cookbook to help new Vegans learn to cook and eat healthy. 

Erica Stephens and her daughter have their first cookbook out now and they are working to release a second cookbook by the end of the year (2020). They are planning to open a catering business / Food Truck soon. Erica offers online classes for those who are becoming Vegan or those who are simply interested in learning more about eating and living a healthier lifestyle.

Todays episode is part 2 of Love, Acceptance and Belonging with Nancy Haboush. Join us as we discuss journaling, Meditation, running, loving yourself, forgiveness and unbecoming everything that you are to become what you want to be.

Journaling - is about writing down all the stuff that is heavy on your heart, that doesn't usually come up and out in everyday conversations. Work to create a ritual, whatever that looks like for you. Find your happy peaceful place... meditation, walk in nature, listening to music, whatever ignites your creative side.

Running - We are all running from something and eventually we find that we can't run forever. Whatever you are running from will eventually catch you and take you down. It's so easy to want to help others, but if we work on and help others, we can not be working on ourselves. We can not find ourselves in others work. We have to do our own work to find ourselves.

When you learn to stop fighting the flow of energy that is positive, loving and affirming. In stead of listening to the I'm not good enough, the must keep running, keep helping others, and looking for the answer in everything else. When you stop and listen you can begin to forgive and unbecome all you are, so you can then create the you, you want to become.

We all want to belong to something bigger than ourselves. And yet we find it difficult to show up and be our authentic selves and instead show up being what others want us to be.

Nancy Haboush shares her journey to discovering her authentic self while unbecoming all she was taught she should be to fit in and be like everybody else. She shares this quote with us, "Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that really isn't you so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place."

The definition of belonging from Brene' Brown: "True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply, that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being apart of something and standing alone in the wilderness."

Join us as Nancy Haboush shares her journey of growing up in a conservative small town in Iowa, to living a spiritually open, diverse and culturally abundant life in Colorado.

Essential oils, most of us can reach into a cabinet and pull out at least one essential oil. But do you really know what to do with them, other than make a room smell amazing? I didn't until I spoke to Yvette Rae with Young Living Essential Oils.

Acceptance can be connected to feelings of loneliness, because let's face it we all have to be alone at some point in our lives. Acceptance defined (short version) is receiving what is given. So why is that so hard to do?

Because it's about how we perceive that and what we tell ourselves about that acceptance. And this can cause one to feel as if they have no hope. Acceptance doesn't mean we have to like it. Our brains and our egos are always trying to get us to a place where we can be happy.

When we help someone else or contribute to something, just a small act can empower us and touch that place in us that knows that we are not just our job. That knows that we have value beyond what we have attached ourselves to, and that can be enough spark to get you to want to do more.

Join Tracy Brady and myself for a deeper look at Acceptance and Loneliness.

Imagine your first ever speaking engagement is a Tedx Talk in front of 5000 people. That's exactly how it all went down for Ed Goyette. 

Ed's talk, Connecting with your kids through the power of asking, is a reminder to kids, and the kid within us all, to stay curious. He and his daughter went on quite a few adventures by asking others how they do what they do.

Since his Tedx Talk, Ed has been writing and working on several new projects as well as speaking engagements. Join Ed and myself as we discuss The Action Mindset and Experiential Learning.
