Get Your Shift Together

Some honest story telling about what's been happening in this season of life. Single mom life while daddy's away for work, the house going to shit, the kids running a muck. Also, the book recommendation I have for this episode is How to Keep House while Drowning by K C Davis. She also has a Ted Talk on how to do your laundry while depressed which was really awesome. 

While, I'm at it I'm thinking of j. Cole's record Love Yourz which makes me cry so much ;*( 

Distractions are not a bad thing, and you're not a horrible human being when you distract yourself. What are you distracted from?! To lose traction means you have to have gained traction -- so what are you losing traction on, and maybe that's not such a bad thing. Losing traction on your commitment to fighting? NOT A BAD THING. Losing traction on violent communication. NOT A BAD THING! 

So when might it be a good idea to distract yourself?

We all want to be in Flow, but the thing a lot of people won't tell you is you don't just GET to flow. Flow requires practice. It requires discipline, and it takes the most subtle shifts to get into all that. If you wanna make a big impact in the world, focus on the shifts you can make in your every day life. 

In this episode, I'll talk about what a shift is, and how you can begin to make small shifts that make a huge impact in the way you show up in your relationships! As always, if there's something you want to hear about, make sure you email me at [email protected]

Jimmy came home for Christmas, and I had him as a special guest on my podcast. We introduce him as a human being, and we talk shit. Enjoy. 

The path of least resistance might sought like a great path to take most likely because we don't have to feel the awkward feelings and deal with them, but what does that do to you over time? How does that affect your self esteem? There's a huge cost to taking the path of least resistance, and I'll go over that in today's episode. 

Announcements: I am committed to creating Breathing Room. 

Breathing Room is a virtual experience that you can attend in the comfort of your own home. It's a brave space for folx looking to deepen their practice of courage and thus cultivating more confidence in their lives. Breathing room will combine breathwork practices -- new and old, with movement and sound. Tapping into the resource of your breath, we'll shift the thoughts, emotions, and feelings in an environment of loving kindness and care for one another. 

Breathing room is something we could all use in relationships to respond rather than react. It's something that we can all benefit from to expand together -- to love to and from the CORE.

Stories can be healing in community 

Stories help us relate with one another creating deeper connections

Stories can also be detrimental when we are healing

Stories told over and over reinforce and program/condition us to believe

Beliefs can be a set of stories that are true or untrue

You can believe in a story that is not true and act in accordance with it

Questioning and noticing create an atmosphere that allows us to be open and caring and kind

Ask yourself what kind of story you've been telling about your life?

What is the deepest, darkest, story that you have about yourself?

What story would you like to be remembered by? 

An exercise you can do is write your obituary (if that doesn't trigger you too much).
