Evolve & Elevate

In our hurried world, many of us are thinking only of the short-term rather than long-term gains and losses in life. We think linearly rather that cyclically and it’s had big consequences on our sense of well-being. A linear worldview is that overemphasizes order, and predictable life pattern where the world can be understood by a cause- and-effect relationship between separate events. Life is a cycle, and it tends to unfold differently at different phases for everyone.

In this podcast I want to talk about what linear thinking is really all about in context to this podcast, and what I mean that life is an unpredictable pattern. I wrap up this podcast on how has thinking linearly not served us.

Most of us are can be first responders to the need for emotional support of others . Almost everyone needs connection to others and the opportunity to give and get support right now. Sometimes we find ourselves misbalanced So, how can you shore up your mental health and deepen your own emotional reservoir? In this podcast we tackle three things we need to focus on to deepen our emotional reservoir

 1) Start with self-care. We can’t share with others a resource that we lack ourselves. 

2) Ask for help when you need it. If you don’t ask for that support, the need for it will be revealed in ways that don’t serve you. 

3) set boundaries

Strength is the ability to endure, to push through and stand firm when faced with adversity. It does not mean that you don’t struggle, get tired, feel mentally and emotionally drained or cry while doing it. Strength is making the decision that needs to be made, not because it’s easy, but because it needs to be made.

In this episode we discuss why strong people need support too...for strength does not mean being supreme and not touched by reality of life.

Setting boundaries is an important part of establishing one’s identity and is a crucial aspect of mental health and well-being.

Boundaries can be physical or emotional, and they can range from being loose to rigid, with healthy boundaries often falling somewhere in between. Learning to show compassion and kindness to yourself is crucial in setting healthy boundaries

This podcast will discuss what healthy boundaries are and how to set them, why healthy boundaries are important for self-care, and how to explain boundaries.
