Are you waiting for permission to do something?    

If so, I give you permission.  That's what a coach said to me a few years ago.  

Why do we wait to pursue  our interests, our dreams, something we want to do? 

It has a lot with our nervous system.  If it's an experience that we've never had before,  the nervous system sends out messages of danger, danger, danger. Don't do it. And so then we pull back and we think, Oh,  tomorrow will be better.  But tomorrow never comes.

In this episode, I share how to go for it anyway. I also give you a healing tip to help get unstuck.

What if resentment is a good thing?  

Kate Donovan, expert on burnout, believes it's our superpower as it lets us know when a boundary is missing.  So often when we talk about boundaries, we talk about others crossing our boundaries, but a lot of times we cross our own boundaries. 

In this episode I share two examples of how cross our inner boundaries; how to recognize when we do it and how to shift. 

I also include a light touch (Jin Shin Jyutsu) healing tip.

What if you can't feel grateful?  

If you've been listening to my podcast for a while now, you know I'm a huge proponent of gratitude journals.  And while they can be life changing and super helpful, there are times in our lives that we just can't feel grateful ,  especially when we're burnt out.

Kate Donovan, an expert on burnout and the author of the Bounce Back Ability Factor explains that when we're experiencing   extreme sadness, anger, or burnout, we can't experience the physiological benefits of a gratitude journal. 

Instead, she suggests we do a resentment journal.  Yes.  resentment journal. She calls resentment our superpower because it gives us information as to what boundary might be missing.  She defines resentment as a feeling of unfairness, either because you are over giving or under recognized.

Do you know what you give up when you people please? 

You give up yourself. You put everyone's needs and interests ahead of your own—even strangers.

Does dreary weather bring you down?

Sometimes it really affects my mood. One day while driving to school where I teach Yoga for Stress Management, I considered this:

When you go up in a plane,  it's always sunny.  Above the clouds  and the dreariness is the sun. And if we can think like that and we can focus on just above  what we see is light and so much light.  Allow it to fill you up and see how you feel. It can shift our perspective. I shared this with my college students and it shifted how they felt. 

In this episode, I offer a healing tip for itchy eyes.

Do you ask for the brownie?

In other words, do you ask for what you want despite the obstacles?

In this episode, I share a story from my Belief coach. She shares how she and her daughter were at a cafe on vacation where there was a plate of cookies for free. Beside the cookies was a plate of brownies. Yet the brownies weren't free. The mom asked if she wanted a cookie. The daughter said, "I want a brownie." The mom reiterated that they weren't free. The daughter asked anyway. After going back and forth with the waitress, the daughter got the brownie and an offer of ice cream from the manager.

Do we give up too easily assuming we won't get what we want so why bother? 

The healing tip is to hold your ring finger to boost confidence and let go of old beliefs.

Do you ever get sweaty palms, a racing heart, feel like you're about to have a panic attack, or at least you're about to slip into a bout of nervousness?  You can change the narrative by saying these three words.  I AM EXCITED.  Research shows that when people reappraise anxiety as excitement, they move out of a threat mindset of what can go wrong into an opportunity mindset of what can go right. 

Harvard Business School did a study where they studied this phenomenon of saying, I am excited in 3 situations:  public speaking,  test taking, and  karaoke. 

Participants who said I AM EXCITED beforehand  sang 17 percent better, were 17 percent better at public speaking,  and 22  percent better at taking a math test.

My healing tip for you today is to hold your ring and little finger to help build your confidence and let go of trying to do something vs simply doing it. The practice is called Jin Shin Jyutsu, a 3000 year old healing practice that balances mind, body and spirit, ease physical discomfort and pain, supports you emotionally and so much more.
