Joyful Love

If you don't have confidence, there's no doubt that you're holding yourself back from having the life and marriage you want. We often think confidence will come easy once we achieve our goals. We thing that when we're more fit (or skinny, or curvy, or strong), then we'll feel more confident. But if you wait for your goals to be achieved to embrace total love, appreciation, and trust in yourself … you could be waiting for a very, very long time. And even then, you're still going to have a human brain that wants to focus on the negative - so it'll find something else!Confidence is a mindset. It is something that can be cultivated and created right now, in the body you have, with the home you have, with the family you have, and yes … even with all of your so-called imperfections. And since how you feel about yourself truly does affect how you show up in the world and in your relationships, it's worth improving now - not later.Tune into this episode to learn 3 steps to begin practicing confidence today. And watch the difference in how you start to show up for yourself and in your relationship. Get full show notes and more information here:

Have you ever made a commitment to make a serious change in your life and then given up on it after a day or two of struggle?

Of course, you have. You're a human being with a brain that doesn't like change or anything uncomfortable. We've all been there - over and over again.

So with any shift that you're serious about making - whether it's eating healthier, cutting back on alcohol, exercising, or even being more present with your family - your power is found in being willing to feel uncomfortable.

You also have to be willing to feel all the emotions that you've been unconsciously numbing through the habits you're trying to break!

At first, you might feel sadness, loneliness, and frustration, even more, when you begin to step away from the habits that temporarily numb these emotions.

In today's episode, you'll learn the power of feeling and processing your emotions - and how it's the only way to successfully achieve your health goals.

In today's episode, I share with you how shifting your reason for getting healthy from 'looking good in a bikini' to 'increasing your energy' is the best way to honor and respect your body on a whole new level!

Most of us have a seriously hard time loving and valuing ourselves if we don't feel productive. We tie our worth and lovability to how much we accomplish in a day, a week, a year. So in this episode, I invite you into my inner world this week while I'm recovering from Covid. I was on a forced rest - and my brain was having a fit! I didn't feel like myself. I questioned my worth. I even questioned if anything I ever did was any good - from parenting to coaching - my brain catastrophized everything this week. Tune in to learn the 2 most important questions I asked to help me connect with myself again.

Our emotions are here for a reason. They teach us. They give us important information. They shine a flashlight on what we need to change. And yet, they get brushed aside or buried so that we can quickly move on to the next important task. We tell ourselves, "I'm just being too sensitive." Yet when we do this, we miss important lessons. We miss an opportunity to listen to our souls. So when my 16-year-old son shared a story with me of how he stopped to process an emotion, I knew I wanted to share it with you. If you find yourself rushing through stress - or ignoring irritation and frustration - or brushing any other feeling aside, this episode is for you.Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.rachaelcunningham.com/category/podcast/ To Schedule a Free Consultation with me, go here: https://RachaelCunninghamCoaching.as.me/mini-session
