In this episode, Brittany shares her action steps on what to do when life doesn’t go as planned. Brittny is a big advocate for giving yourself permission to feel your feelings when things don’t go the way you plan them whether it be anger, guilt, shock, or other. She also discusses the difference between feeling emotions versus identifying with them, why every challenge we face is an opportunity to learn about ourselves, allowing our lives to unfold they way they are meant to, and some journal prompts for understanding our own emotions surround unplanned events and circumstances.

When we worry, we allow thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature to uncontrollably repeat we are automatically living outside of our present selves. Worry in and of itself is neither bad nor good - I mean after all, if our cave dwelling ancestors didn't worry about predators, we likely wouldn't be here today. The problem with worrying comes when we deeply dwell on thoughts and emotions outside of our control. So how do we put the kibosh on worry? In this episode Brittny shares how we can minimize our daily fears and anxiety with simple mindful practices and eliminate the extreme and unnecessary worry from our lives.

Brittny shares all the reasoning in why we do what we do on a very cellular level. From feelings versus sensations, understanding where all feelings come from, how to give space between you and your feelings and emotions, how to 10x your emotional well being, what buffering is, the price of growth and indulgent emotions, understanding our feelings is what allows us to take the steps to change them and our lives in return.
