Elevate Life with Angie

Hey guys! Welcome back to the Boundaries series. Here in episode 11 we're going get specific on how to execute relational boundaries. Often times we don't use our voice because we don't know how. This is not a common life skill that a majority of folks have learned. So it's understandable when there is hesitation. In this episode I give you some pointers, and share a story of a time when I set a boundaries in a calm peaceful way. Stories go past our brain and to our heart. Setting boundaries is making a choice to do what's best and right for you. Its not only important to set boundaries, but its necessary. And you are worth it.

As we wrap up 2020 that New Years Eve song comes to mind. You know the one all the drunk folks sing all slurred while toasting as the Ball drops in Times Square? The line "should old acquaintance be forgot" always sounded a little funny to me. But upon a little research I found out the meaning of this line. 2020 has greatly effect all of us. Everyone keeps saying they can't wait for this year to be over. Its understandable, however let's choose to let go of the things that hold us back. When the date on the calendar changes, will we change as well? Let's not start our new year with the same old baggage. Come out of the old and in with the new. New what, you ask? Well, that's up to you. You get to choose.  As you listen to episode 9 keep an open mind and heart. I share a message about coming OUT of the old, and coming INTO the new.  I know,  a little corny for New Years right? haha. True true, but it was on my heart. I think you'll be able to take some good nuggets of truth from this episode.

I Recorded this episode 3 days away from Thanksgiving. Felt led to just go off the cuff.  Just being real and transparent, while ended with compassion. I know it's been beyond hard this last year, maybe you feel like it's impossible to be thankful right now, I get it I really do.  The truth is you are not alone or stuck. Even if you think you are. Nope, its NOT true. You can choose thankfulness at any time.  Thankfulness and gratitude is a choice. It can even come in the form of something very simple and mundane. Todays episode/song title is "Thank U" by the amazing Alanis Morissette! I had always loved this track from the 90's, and when reviewing the lyrics recently I KNEW I wanted to connect it with a episode. These lyrics describe Ms. Alanis being at at place of clarity and truth. She recalls the things she had experienced along the way. My interpretation is that she is actually  saying thank you because she didn't overcome DISPITE of the hardship, rather BECAUSE of it.  There is a lot of power in this type of mindset and understanding. Check out the song, and this episode containing silliness, thankfulness, no room for shame, with a compassionate ending.

Friends did you know that It's ok to Let it Go? Its true. What comes to mind when you read these words "Let it Go?" We all have something. We are messy imperfect humans, and that's ok. Its just human nature to be messy relationally at times. But the goal is to NOT STAY that way. So here in Episode 7 we cover letting go. As you listen today, allow yourself to open your heart and mind to some genuine soul searching. I'm a list person, so here is a list of possible things you might struggle with. What stands out? Bitterness, grudges, self judgement, striving for perfection, accusations towards another person. Some of us struggle with wanting to be in control, or people pleasing. Maybe we feel trapped in a relationship. It can be anything. Everything we experience matters and does effect us greatly. The purpose of Elevate Life with Angie is to draw truth up to the surface and face hard things bravely. Then we won't have to live our lives being stuck. You are here for a purpose, and being stuck is NOT part of it.  If you are interested in receiving one on one personal coaching please reach out to me through my social media platforms for a free consultation.
