Episode 50: Another Word for Trigger

Episode 49: Loneliness

Do you think anger is a negative feeling? Chico and Shannon discuss how we all

FEEL anger as some point and time in life because it is just a feeling. Shannon used

to have such a negative view on anger not wanting her boys to be angry or herself to

be quick to anger. They discuss how to recognize anger for what it is, feel it and then

know how to diffuse it so it doesn’t turn to rage. They also discuss how to determine

what your triggers are for anger and how to recognize those and then work through

them. A lot of unhealthy behaviors, including substance abuse, can stem from

suppressing anger. Check out the blog referenced in this episode at

Join Chico and Shannon as they discuss how to go about marketing a company and

getting direction from the outside and be open to a plan. We all can have blinders on

in certain areas of running a business and just need some encouragement to look

outside the box and take some direction from someone outside of the business.

Jamie has been doing this for years concentrating on the treatment industry but the

tips are good for any industry. Find more about Jamie in this YouTube video

interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMvuoxo4c68

Do you know the definition of restlessness? It is the inability to rest or relax as a

result of anxiety or boredom. Chico and Shannon discuss how we all get restless at

some point and time in life but we have no idea how to identify that is what we are

feeling; therefore don’t think we suffer from it. Shannon and Chico both realized

they struggled with restlessness. They also realized that both of their boys struggled

with it too. They discuss how to recognize restlessness for what it is, feel it and then

know how to diffuse it so it doesn’t turn to depression or substance abuse. Do you

need to get to the root of restlessness? Do you need to at least admit that you might

struggle with it? Take the challenge by listening to this episode and then letting us

know if you are one that says you do not struggle with restlessness. We haven’t

found anyone yet.
