July 23, 2019Don't take things personally; It's them, not you, Ep26
Whatever happens around you, don’t take it personally. Nothing other people do is because of you, it's because of them. When we take something personally, we make the assumption they know what's in our world, and we try to impose our world on theirs.
Why is not taking anything personally important?
Because you are in control of your world, not theirs, so you have no idea why they just behaved that way toward you.
Reacting emotionally is your old way of thinking and this new, better you, is more grounded and centered in your life and sobriety joureny.
What is not taking things personally look like.
You shrug off insults
You understand that people can still CHOOSE to believe in the old you, to see the old you, to think that nobody ever changes and you will always be who you were.
That is their limiting mindset about themselves and not for you to take on as fact. Their poison is for them to take alone.
How to not take things personally
Remember what someone say to you, about you, or around you is their own opinion of the world as they see it - it is their projection of their belief system upon you and not yours, so don't pay it any mind.
Breathe deep and think about what it would do to you to take on their insult as fact and why you know that's not helpful to your sobriety.
Laugh it off, walk away, continue doing what ever it is you were doing are acceptable responses to thier indignity toward you.
Remember - reacting is with emotion, responding is with thought.
What if you find yourself taking things personally.
Breathe into the moment and ask yourself if it is worth your energy to take their poison as your own.
Look at their actions as their own pain and suffering that they have to look forward to evolving from and then see if you can be of service to them.
Be introspective of your actions and see where you can be a better role model for how to act in stressful situations.

July 16, 2019Honor your commitments to yourself and others, Ep25
Do you honor your commitments to yourself and others every time you make them? Have you stopped the blaming, complaining, criticizing, and gossiping? Being impeccable with your words means you live a life of integrity & your words/actions are honorable.
The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word. It sounds simple enough, but it is definitely not.
You can’t control every circumstance. But you can control how you react to it.
A sin (or error) is anything and everything you believe, say, or feel which goes against yourself.
You go against yourself when you criticize, complain, blame, or judge yourself, others, or anything in the world.
Being without sin is exactly the opposite.
When you are impeccable, you take responsibility for your actions, and you do not criticize, complain, blame, or judge yourself, nor do we indulge in guilt or shame.
We do not use our words against others in blaming, criticizing, or gossiping.
We honor our commitments and only make those we intend to follow through on. Most importantly the commitments we make to ourselves.
Do you honor your commitments?
When you say you’re going to do something, do you really intend to follow through and then actually do it?
Do you say YES to every request, invitation, or ask because you think you need to, you're a people pleaser and you figure you can flake, make an excuse, or not show up when the time to follow through arrives?
When you tell yourself you are going to do something: workout, lose weight, go to a meeting, do you do it or do you rationalize an excuse to yourself so you can release the commitment without feeling guilty?
How to be imbeccable with your words by activvely listening to yourself and others.
Actively listen. (Try the eye, eye, nose, mouth loop if you get distracted.)
Take at least 5-10 seconds to truly pause and think about what the person has said before responding.
Choose your words slowly and carefully.
Practise using phrases to show people you are actively listening
that's interesting, I'm curious about that tell me more, what did you do then, that's awesome, that's cool, fantastic, tell me more.
Use words that are familiar and comfortable to you, not words to impress people.
Think of your words as a commitment, a contract - and honor them. Every time.
Thank you so much for listening and being a part of this wonderfully supportive community. No longer are we living in the shadows!

July 10, 2019 Harness the Integrity of the Four Agreements, Ep24
The four agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz provides a roadmap toward the highest version of yourself. Integrity is crucial in your recovery journey and by harnessing it's virtues you will be freed of the negative weight and repercussions of actions that go against these agreements.
1. Be Impeccable with Your Word
No complaining. No criticising. No blaming. No gossiping.

  2. Don’t Take Anything Personally  
How someone responds to you often says more about THEM than it says about you.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions  
By asking questions you side step assuming you already know the answer. This creates clear communication between the parties involved. Be courageous and ask questions until you fully understand the actions, words, or behaviors.
4. Always Do Your Best
Understand that your best will be fluid, it will change day by day. Being comfortable with this fluctuation in yourself and others is paramount to an understanding, vulnerable, and loving relationship with yourself, your activites, and your realtionships.

June 25, 2019 Growth mindset v Fixed mindset & how they effect your journey, Ep23
A growth mindset is the ability to see everything as an opportunity to learn, grow, and experience from. That any ability and skill can be developed no matter your background or current abilities.
A fixed mindset is believing that skills, talents, knowledge, etc. are relatively fixed and can not be grown nor cultivated.
A growth mindset realizes every single opportunity in life is a chance for growth - and then, if your mind is open to it, you will learn something, you will experience something you had not previously even considered.
Realize your intelligence, abilities, skills, talents - everything about you can grow and develop in whatever way you decide.
If you have a fixed mindset around your ability to do this, that, or the other - you will probably not even try to learn, grow, and experience new things.
As you begin to complete things, learn things - grow into this new you - you will grow your discipline and your abilities.
It is a positive feedback loop. As you do things, you learn new things, and you realize you can learn and do new things all the time.
Creating that loop will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You will know you can grow BECAUSE you are growing which will fuel further growth.
