Love At Home

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said, "The best thing one can do when it's raining is let it rain" 

When people hear "acceptance" they might think this means to give in or just having to "deal with it" so they resist causing themselves even more pain and suffering. Acceptance isn't about agreeing with or endorsing what happened. It's allowing you to let go of the thoughts that deprive you of peace and happiness. When we hold tight to our thoughts and our story about "what should have been" we limit ourselves. Learning how to accept what is, is our ticket to freedom and joy. 

When you hear the term, "boundaries" it's generally thought of as something you're expecting other people to do. We think about what we want other people to do or to stop doing but this is misguided. When we place expectations on other's we're having to be at the mercy of others and hoping they'll respect and honor our needs. This can wreak havoc in your relationship because we can't control other people and we can't predict what they'll do or not do.  In today's episode, I teach you what boundaries really are and how you can create unbreakable boundaries. Boundaries you can feel secure in. Tune in with LDS Life Coach Hannah Coles to hear more.

There's another way, a better way and today I'm going to teach you all about it. Tune in with LDS Life Coach Hannah Coles to learn all about toxic people and what you can do about them.

There are a great many of us that operate from a place of blame. No matter what happened or what's going on, for sure, not our fault, right? We blame our parents for not having the childhood we think we needed, we blame our physiology for not giving us the body or shape we wanted, we blame our bosses, our family, that slow car in front of us for our misfortune. This line of thinking is operating from something called, Emotional Childhood dn it is a huge roadblock to creating confidence in your life. It blocks your ability to achieve your goals and to accomplish what you want in life. Tune in today and learn how to say goodbye to emotional childhood and be able to move forward.

We are harder on ourselves than anybody else could ever be. For a lot of us, our go-to action is to "beat ourselves up". We say some of the most hurtful, ugly, and painful things that we would never utter or think about another human being yet we think it about ourselves. When I was in elementary school we'd have anti-bullying weeks where we learned to be on the lookout to help others that were being bullied. But what happens when the bully is inside? Who is there to notice? Who is there to save you from this unseen but ever-present bully? It's time we had an anti-self bullying week. It's time we learned to save ourselves and stop this self-defeating, self-loathing practice. 

Self-care is a term that's thrown around pretty loosely. Depending on what article you read or who you talk to the advice can be on opposite ends of the spectrum. It's confusing and leaves you floundering for help when you need it most. Are you ready to learn what REAL self-care is?
