It's Not About the Alcohol

EP204 Minisode: How can I make this easy and fun?


Listen Later

In this episode, Colleen invites you to take your emotional temperature and ask a powerful question that could change everything: How can I make this fun and easy?

Whether you’re racing through your day with a nervous system stuck in overdrive or stuck in bed with your to-do list haunting you, the solution isn’t more hustle—it’s ease. But ease isn’t a circumstance. It’s an emotional state. And you can learn to choose it on purpose.

Key Takeaways: • You can’t fix overwhelm with more action—emotional ease has to become the goal, not the reward. • Busyness, burnout, and rushing are often signs that your nervous system is dysregulated, not that you’re falling behind. • The faster your brain is moving, the more likely you are to be living in your stress response instead of your power. • Your emotions are your early warning system—when you feel tight, rushed, or tense, that’s your body telling you to reset. • Ease is an emotional state you can access by managing your thoughts, regulating your body, and doing one thing at a time. Action Steps: Notice when you're rushing, pushing, or spiraling. Instead of trying to do more or fix the problem faster- Pause and ask yourself: How can I make this moment feel fun and easy? Even just asking the question will start to slow the engine of your brain and bring your body back into the present moment.

Ease isn’t just a luxury—it’s your superpower. And the more you practice it, the more you reclaim your energy, your focus, and your joy.
