Following on from Episode 161, you have established the parts of you that you want to focus on. Where to from here and moving into change.

You are complex and unique. There are so many different parts of you, some you are proud of and some you would like to work on. What do you want to work on this year?

A flat battery is of no use to anyone. What does recharging your battery look like, and are you mindfully bringing into your daily life?

Do you put other peoples emotional needs before your own? Do you feel responsible for how people feel? This thinking makes it extremely difficult to say no, and causes you to feel anxious, exhausted, angry, and burn't out. Listen to my tips on how to land a hard NO in a way that resonates with you.

How to move from a state of a lost self, having inner conflict, turmoil and dis-ease with yourself to a state of peace, of knowing yourself and being yourself. Feeling at peace, content, and your physical, emotional and mental state are congruent. Your behaviour is in line with how you really do want to be.

Behaviour you are not proud of that comes up too often. Are you irritated, frustrated, overly emotional, easily triggered, aggressive, reactive, judgemental, never satisfied or overwhelmed?

I share two ways that can be the cause of your behaviour, and help you identify the root cause.

What are the things you can't see on the other side of the mist, they are right there yet you can't see them. Missed opportunities, chasing external gratification, the stories you keep telling yourself, the things you do or don't do every day.

What is it that you need to let go of? Control, guilt, revenge, an image of how you would like a person to be. All these things keep you stuck, frustrated and drained.

I feel that taking the time to invest in yourself, whether that be in knowledge, skills, understanding and mastering your strengths, taking care of your mental, physical and emotional health, and nurturing your relationships is vital. Working on yourself has a ripple effect on everything around you. You discover your gifts, you add value and make a difference to your life and those around you, you feel at peace and your life has meaning.

Love and connection is a basic human need, isolation and intolerance has a negative impact on connection as well as our health.
