Help? with Ashley Jaggi

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe that God is our loving Father in Heaven- the literal Father of our Spirit and that we are truly precious to Him–each of us is a beloved Spirit Son or Daughter of God. He is an all powerful and all knowing God who loves us beyond comprehension. We are precious to Him. His love is extended to us all the day long and through the night. It is constant! We can come to see and feel of that love by looking at the dealings of the Savior, through ancient and modern scripture, through our personal dealings with Him and watching for His loving hand in our lives and through looking at the world around us.

Listen in as Ashley shares top tips for interacting with youth from Barbara Barrington Jones and Brad Wilcox in the book, Straight Talk for Parents: What Teenagers Wish They Could Tell You. They use the acronym PARENTS: Praise, Accept, Respect, Encourage, Notice, Time and Say. The book includes tips straight from teens in a survey they conducted of over 1000 youth.

Listen in as I talk about creating a family culture with intention!

We are all developing a family culture, and with intention, we can make it something rich and long-lasting, passing on traditions that strengthen and bless each member of the family as they are involved and proud to be a part of something special. We can include elements of symbols, doctrine, and traditions.

Each member of the family needs to feel meaningful connection, like they count and like they contribute and as those things are present, they can then have courage to be imperfect and go out in the world, trying new things and expanding their lives.

A strong marriage built on the foundation of the gospel is a sure foundation for a family to build on. A marriage relationship comes before our relationships with kids or with outside pursuits. We can strengthen a marriage by utilizing the 3 things that can build a strong culture- We have symbols of our union, we have doctrine which can be any history, stories, rules, commitments, etc. And we have our rituals- the things that renew our relationship on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. We take time to connect in meaningful ways. The way we part and reunite can be significant moments that stick with us, so we want to make those moments count.

Listen in as I share two favorite concepts from Jody Moore that can aid us in using self-compassion! One shows that our worth is constant and unchangeable, the other shows that life has a balance and our expectation that things will go well most of the time leaves us frustrated and disappointed.

Check out Jody Moore at jodymoore.com or find her podcast, Better Than Happy.

Our thinking determines the energy that is driving us. Thoughts can be the source of so much discord in our lives! Join me as we take an honest, searching look at them to see if we’re in thinking errors or in truth.

We can also add the word AND to hold space for multiple truths at the same time. These truths may seem contradictory AND they can both be true at the same time!

Listen in as I model the 4 Steps of Self-Compassion as presented in the book, Self Compassion by Kristin Neff: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10127008-self-compassion. I model how to use the steps and what the opposite looks like as well. I also define self-care as not about running from the moment or the emotion but taking an action toward resolution or just being kind to ourselves like we’d want a friend to do for themselves.

Four Steps:

1- recognize/acknowledge/accept

2- you remind yourself you’re not alone in this

3- show yourself compassion

4- be kind to yourself by taking some small action

Tune in this week as I discuss 3 life-changing strategies for boosting your confidence including looking to God, substituting your self-talk with that of your biggest cheerleader, and positive affirmations!

Listen in this week as I introduce the topic of self-compassion with Kristin Neff's formula, pain x resistance = suffering. I also explain that understanding the dealings of our God can help us to stay out of suffering and experience all adversity with HIS strength, comfort and peace the whole way through!
