In this episode, I give you 50 different affirmations for abundance, money, finances, and wealth. You can listen to them any time, any place, as many times as you want. Feel free to listen, repeat them, or write them down.  

**Affirmations Begin @ 9 minutes into the Podcast** 

Everyone grew up around different money mindsets. You likely even absorbed aspects of financial mindsets you heard in your childhood, and might still have that perception today. If you're anything like me, you might feel guilty, overwhelmed, or stressed out just thinking about money, especially spending it.

Until a few years ago, I was under the impression there was never enough money for everyone in the world and that I would never and could never have my share of it. I felt unworthy and unprepared for wealth or abundance in any way. I did not think I would ever be a wealthy or abundant person and this mindset held me back in ways I didn't realize at the time.

With the help of an amazing support system and some helpful tools, I was able to transform my money and abundance mindset and perception over the last few years. I have to make an effort every day to focus on what I know to be true, but the reward is well worth the work I have put in.

I now have a positive relationship with my finances, and I hope to be able to help others change their preconceived perceptions about money too.

In this episode, I share how recent health concerns have given me a new perspective on impermanence. Suffering and change are inevitable truths of existence. Nothing lasts forever, no matter how much we wish it did. Our bodies, other people, relationships, and our environment are constantly changing and reshaping around us.  The more we resist change, the more it pushes back against us. The more we embrace change, the more at peace we feel. 

It can feel so overwhelming, and even scary, when everything seems to be changing or ending. In these times of change, sometimes the only thing we are in control of is our reaction to what is happening. We can choose to embrace the change and find perspective and strength from it, or react in a way that does not serve our journey and only hinders our growth. Self awareness and emotional regulation are extremely powerful tools that can help your communication, relationship building, career, and more. 

Please remember we are all human and nothing is one size fits all. There is no secret sauce that will change your life overnight, but hopefully listening to this podcast will help in any way.

Are you feeling anxious or stressed? The 5-4-3-2-1 method is a grounding exercise that can be done anywhere and any time. It can help to manage stress, anxiety, and emotions. This exercise is also a great way to break the cycle of the scroll and bring yourself back into the real world. 

It requires no supplies or pre-planning, just your mind! Grounding exercises are mindfulness or self awareness tools that can help to calm anxious thoughts and bring you back to the present moment.

The walk-through of the exercise begins around 15 minutes in. Everything before that is great too but I know everyone's time is important  😄

DISCLAIMER: I am not a mental health professional. The tool mentioned in this video is something that has worked well for me but may not work well for everyone. If you are having severe anxiety or suicidal thoughts, please reach out to a mental health professional or call or text 988.

In this episode I talk about choosing forgiveness for the good of yourself, not for the person that hurt you. I also talk about my new flip phone, Flippy. 

Finding forgiveness and empathy for someone does not excuse or justify their behavior. It also doesn't take away the pain they've caused you or make it any less valid. Forgiveness will help you keep a light heart/soul and lead a happy life. It's not about winning. Forgiveness is about growing, learning, and healing. Come with me on my journey to find the power in forgiveness, and maybe you'll find some power and perspective for yourself too.

In this episode, I talk about the Ice Cube Method. This method is simple, quick, free, and effective. It can be done almost anywhere and any time and requires virtually no supplies. All you need is an ice cube, cold water, a cold shower, a cold wash cloth, fresh air, or fan. This technique can help your body and mind go from overloaded and overwhelmed to back in the present moment and ready to evaluate your emotions. This technique can help people who suffer from panic attacks, PTSD flashbacks, stress, anxiety, and more. 

I have personally used this technique for almost a decade and it is something I will always carry with me. While I can't say it will work for everyone, I can say it's always worth a shot to try. What do you have to lose?

This Mini Series is based on my article, "10 Ways to Instantly Reduce Stress and Anxiety" https://empathyisbadass.com/10waystoinstantlyreducestressandanxiety 

*trigger warning* there is mention of self harm in the video, but it does not go into great detail. There is an in-episode warning before the topic is discussed.

In this episode, I talk about the benefits animals can have for someone suffering from stress or anxiety, and anyone on their healing journey. Animals, and more specifically dogs, have been a huge part of my healing journey. Over the last 6 years, my dogs have shown me what it means to give unconditional love and acceptance. They have been my friends, my motivators, my caretakers, and have given me so much perspective. 

I wanted to share my story to show how impactful and meaningful an animal's' presence can be in your life. Science itself says that animals are beneficial to not only your mental health but your physical health as well. Being around animals can decrease your blood pressure and stress levels almost instantly.
