RealPositiveGirl - Weekly Encouragement & Mental Health

Sometimes we don't even realize something or someone in our lives is holding us back. But we should be considering this often. Why allow ourselves to be held back from a better life just because change is hard?

Show Notes:
A lot of times we end up holding onto things and not even realizing these are things that are holding us back.

It doesn’t feel like bad things. It doesn’t feel like negativity. It just feels like our life. And sometimes it does feel bad but we don’t know who we are without these things in our lives. And we can become very accepting of what’s in our life if we don’t see a way to create change. But it’s also because we get so comfortable with this stuff. We get comfortable with the good stuff & the really bad stuff.

And I don’t want you to fall into a shame spiral if you are just realizing this now. If you’re just realizing what you have allowed to stay in your life isn’t quite as great as you thought or helpful as it was intended to be. It’s something we all do. We all fall victim to it because it comes into our lives as one thing but slowly or quickly transforms into something else & it feels like we can’t do anything about it.

But we can do something about it. We just have to believe we can & take action.

Sometimes the action we have to take can be overwhelming & uncomfortable & require a significant amount of time commitment for the change to take effect, but it’s worth the effort.

Not only am I speaking about certain habits in our lives, but also people & decision-making styles. And let’s not forget self-sabotaging mindsets & behaviors.

We underestimate our power. We underestimate our ability to conquer & vanquish the bad things. We don’t realize how much courage & ability we have to push back against what we don’t want or need. But it’s our job to flip that switch inside of us. 

The new year isn’t the only time you can start new, start fresh, de-clutter your life & be done with what is no longer serving you. 

You can make changes & start again at any point in the year & your life. We all transition into new seasons of life on the regular, which is the perfect opportunity to make necessary changes.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself to identify whether something or someone in your life is serving you or holding you back: 

• Are you continuously sacrificing what you want for someone or something else?
• Is your trust being broken or taken advantage of?
• Does being with this person or participating in this behavior lead to depression, anxiety, sadness or any other negative emotions?
• Do you find yourself often justifying why this still needs to be in your life?
• Do you find yourself often complaining about this yet still making no change?

Today I want to share with you 5 ways to let go of what is holding you back:

1. Release any guilt of letting go or saying no
2. Know that negative reactions to your decisions to let it go aren’t your issue
3. Ask yourself what purpose having this in your life gives you & determine if that’s enough for you
4. Create physical distance, if possible
5. Swap out the negative for a positive

Happiness is fleeting, depending on the season of life you're going through. Being authentically you is what holds strong & gets you through the tough times. You can be all of your emotions. You're not held to just happiness.

Show Notes:

The older I get, the more I realize how complicated happiness is because it’s not the same for everyone & it can be experienced on varying degrees. And the varying degrees part is so important because when I was younger, it seemed like if you were happy, it was the top of the scale of positive feelings. There was nothing higher or more for you to achieve. When in reality, I can be minimally happy, mediumly happy, or even more than happy. 

There are also expectations with everyone needing to be happy. I believe it’s perfectly fine to just be content in life, which is different than happy. Content is more accepting of life with a positive attitude & happy is more excited about life. And then there are the smiling police. You know, those people that tell you to smile because it’s more socially acceptable to feign positive feelings than just be how you are. It’s their insecurities being placed on you because it’s uncomfortable for them to see someone not smiling or even venture into a conversation that isn’t positive or easy to breeze through. It’s the idea that being fake is easier than being real & vulnerable. Which it is, unfortunately. But it shouldn’t be this way.

One of the biggest reasons why you don’t need to be happy all the time is that negative experiences are so helpful to us. Despite how hard & difficult negative experiences are, these moments can push us to grow & change & continue to become our best selves. When we experience guilt, it causes us to make things right where we have done wrong. When we are angry, it can cause us to really evaluate what needs to change in our lives or isn’t going well & lead us to figure out why that is. Another reason we don’t need to be happy all the time is because happiness doesn’t equal fulfillment. We can be sad & be fulfilled, or even exhausted & be fulfilled. There are times in life where we have to work really hard, which isn’t always fun, but it’s still something positive & fulfilling for us in the end. Keeping our promises when we don’t really want to doesn’t evoke happiness, but we know it’s the right thing to do & that makes us feel good.

And the things that lead directly to happiness aren’t always things we should be doing. Like sitting on the couch day in, day out, watching tv & eating unhealthy snacks. Taking from someone else for your benefit, even knowing it will hurt someone else. Being dishonest to get what you want. Happiness can actually be selfish if it’s based on getting only what you want, even if others are burned in the process.

But I don’t want you to be holding your happiness back. If you are happy, be happy. Something that I struggle with is allowing my happiness to bleed through because if someone else around me isn’t happy, I feel like I can’t be happy either because it could make them feel worse. Which is logical if you’re a people pleaser. But it’s silly because the happiness you have could actually help someone else be more happy in times of negativity.

Living your life isn’t about being happy all the time. It’s about being your authentic self & leaning into vulnerability & honoring your emotions, positive or negative.

We cannot settle for staying stuck where we are because of perceived & unreal threats & dangers that are based on past mistakes & failures. We need to stop letting fear hold us hostage.

Show Notes:
Fear is an illness. It’s a phrase I hear while watching the second season of The Witcher. A secondary character was sharing with the main character that she is afraid of what she could do to others if out of control. The main character told her that fear is an illness & if you catch it and leave it untreated, it will consume you. The other character asked how to cure it & he responded that the best way to cure it is to face it. I found it very profound because it’s true. You have to face your fears if you have any hope of overcoming these things

Fear is a funny thing. It’s important in times of crisis & trouble, when you need to be more aware of danger & keeping yourself safe. You become more aware of what’s happening around you, leading you to make sound decisions. But when it’s fear that is based on non-existent problems & dangers, it’s not your friend. It’s actually working against you.

It can be said that this type of fear will lower your awareness & cause you to become hyper focused on perceived problems, real or not. You consciously narrow your options & hold yourself back because of an unknown threat. I see it as building something up bigger than it should be. And it could be based on something that has happened in the past, but that’s still not a real reason, but more of an excuse with more fear piled on top.

Outside of being in a tragic event that is life-threatening, fear does nothing positive for us.

Here is a quick list of bad things fear does to us:

1. Fear creates roadblocks
2. Fear paralyzes us
3. Fear robs us of peace & takes away our joy
4. Fear directs our thoughts & determines our actions

I read a wonderful Japanese proverb: “Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.”  We are in charge of what we let in our minds, we are in charge of what stays. You get to choose! But we get so wrapped up in the fear that we believe we don’t get a choice. We are allowing ourselves to be held prisoner to our fears.

And maybe someone else is to blame, as well, because they planted the seed. But as much as you can’t allow fear to run your life, you can’t be a victim, either. Again, you will get nowhere & end up wasting time. Ask yourself, “What will you gain in blaming someone else without putting in the work to make a change?” You might be afraid to ask yourself that question because you know the answer isn’t what you want.

Here are some tips on how to face your fears & eventually overcome:

1. Determine the Source of Your Fear
2. Accept Your Fears 
3. Embrace Your Own Power 
4. Choose Perspective, Not Panic
5. Shift from a Fixed Mindset to a Growth Mindset

You have to make time for yourself. No one else is going to do it for you. You are responsible for you. Even if it means letting others down or needing to ask for help later, it's got to be done.

Show Notes:
I have a problem with setting some unreasonable expectations for myself. And a lot of those expectations are based on not wanting to disappoint others. Which gets me in some trouble because I end up not taking breaks, taking time for myself because the idea of letting others down really crushes me.

A lot of this is about not properly setting personal boundaries, letting my anxiety get the best of me, worrying about other people’s judgement, feeling like I could be getting behind in whatever I’m doing & thinking I just don’t deserve the time right now. I’m sure there are many more reasons we all could come up with, which in the end don’t really matter.

I don’t like the idea of people thinking I am weak or lazy. I used to be this person that was busy and go-go-go all the time. I would get complimented for how much I got done, how efficient I was with my time & how I kept it all together. Spoiler: I didn’t keep it all together. I just hide my freak-outs really well. I hit a breaking point where my mental health got so messed up because I cared more about how I looked to other people & getting praise for being the mom that does it all than taking care of my mind.

I want you to know the praise isn’t worth it. The respect you get for appearing to be superhuman, the fake appreciation and the popularity for appearing perfect is all garbage. 

I recently went on vacation with my family and didn’t prep podcast episodes before I left. I didn’t make the time because I had work & family stuff to do and those things were my priority. I felt kind of bad about it, because I knew I was letting some people down, but I had to make peace with it because that is where I fit in time for myself. I had no desire to push myself to the brink of stress before I went on vacation. I wanted to go into it excited & happy, not stressed & worried. And now I’m back, putting out new episodes and it’s fine. But the only reason this was an easy decision for me to make is because I had slowly been making this type of decision more & more.

You have to make time for yourself. No one else is going to do it for you. You are responsible for you. Even if it means letting others down, needing to ask for help to catch-up later, missing out on something, having others cast their unimportant opinions on you or pushing through the anxiety of not constantly being on the go. And I get why slowing down is scary. It means you have to actually look at what’s going on around you, good & bad. But this is where healing begins, where self-awareness starts & how personal boundaries are built.

And let’s not forget that taking time for yourself is also the only way you can have enough energy & attention to continue to help others without burning out.

Here are some quick ideas on how to make time for yourself if this is new for you:

1. Leave Work On Time
2. Dedicate Certain Weeknights to Yourself
3. Schedule Events in Advance
4. Create Routines with Self-Care Time
5. Learn to Delegate Work to Others

How often are you feeling pride for something you've done or accomplished? We all deserve to be proud of ourselves, no matter how big, small or medium the task was. I'm here to chat about why it's important to be proud of yourself & how to be more proud of yourself.

Show Notes:
There always seems to be something in the way of feeling proud of myself.

It’s the things I haven’t accomplished yet. It’s the mistakes & failures I ruminate on. It’s the pain of the past that still haunts me. It’s everything & it’s nothing, because despite what we have been through, there is always something to feel proud about.

Being proud of yourself means you have a strong sense of self-worth. You know you are doing your best, continue to believe in yourself & don’t let bumps in the road keep you down.

Being proud of yourself also means feeling more content, grateful & more passionate about life, in general.

We let a lot of things get in the way of being proud of ourselves. We believe we aren’t good enough or haven’t done enough or can’t be enough. And it’s all in our heads. We use the external criticisms & judgements, coupled with our own negative self-talk from not forgiving ourselves for making mistakes and make those into excuses we use to not appreciate who we are & how far we have come.

One of the keys to being proud of yourself is accepting who you are right now. Not who you were yesterday or believe you will be tomorrow or a year from now. Right now. At this very moment. Flaws & all. It’s important because in appreciating who you are right now, you then appreciate your current growth & ability to keep moving forward. This will land you with something to be proud about. You can feel proud about how far you’ve come or the path you’re headed on or the things you made the decision to leave behind.

Here are a couple reasons why you should be proud of yourself:

1. You appreciate your abilities more when you feel pride in your accomplishments
2. It encourages you to push yourself more
3. You care less about what others think about you
4. You deserve it.

Today I want to chat about how to be proud of yourself. It might sound like something super easy to do for many people, but for others, it can seem like a foreign concept because you never feel like you hit a point where feeling proud is possible or acceptable.

1. Acknowledge every single win. Big, small & medium things count.
2. Adjust your expectations of success.
3. Do things that line up with your passions.
4. Know that not everything will work out.
5. Challenge Negative Thoughts.

You will gain more freedom in your life if you make a continual effort to move forward, go after your goals & take action. Holding yourself for others doesn't do you any favors. I'm giving tips on how to move forward in your life!

Show Notes:
I’ve been dealing with a lot of very uncomfortable procrastination lately. It’s uncomfortable because I know what needs to be done, I really want to do it, but I don’t. And I know to some, it doesn’t make sense. My therapist was under the impression that I just don’t want to do those things, when really it’s because I don’t want to let people down.

Before I get into what that means, I want to note how important it is to take the time to figure out what is stopping you. More on that later. But for me, I had spent a lot of time trying to figure out why I was being this way. Why was I feeling crippled in fear & stagnation on the couch, watching Gilmore Girls & not upstairs in my office working on my dreams. And it finally came to me that I don’t want to have to let down the people. I didn’t want my sudden schedule of busyness to affect my family & friends. This all boiled down to people pleasing. 

With the changes I wanted to make in my life, I finally realized it was going to affect others because I wouldn’t be there to swoop in & save the day. I wouldn’t just be free to do whatever needed to be done. And it made me realize how much I just make myself available for everyone. Which led me to realize this is the reason I don’t go after my goals & dreams because I’m so worried about being there to help others with their goals & dreams. I wasn’t prioritizing myself.

And you can’t move forward in life if you don’t take the time to take action. You can hope & desire for things to change & achieve goals & grow, but without action, none of that will happen.

You can’t move forward in life if you are always on the back burner. 

You can’t move forward in life if you do something to overcome your struggles.

You can’t move forward in life if you don’t realize you are holding yourself back.

Here are some tips on how to move forward in life:

1. Understand why you’re stuck. (what’s getting in the way?)
2. Stop allowing others to influence your actions. (negative influences)
3. Seeking validation from others will foster more self-doubt.
4. Believe that mistakes & failures are the best learning opportunities. Not everything will be easy.
5. Don’t allow your past to define you. (episode 348 for more on this topic)
6. Don’t give up so soon into the process. Make changes but don’t give up.
7. Take small steps until you gain momentum.

Just a quick reminder that you are not a burden. I'm sharing examples of things that do not qualify you as a burden, but just a normal person navigating life.

Show Notes:
I am just here to remind you that you are not a burden.

You might feel like a burden to many people in your life, even having others tell you you’re a burden, but it doesn’t mean that you are.

Being a burden can be seen as bringing down others, letting people down or bringing shame on others because of what you’re going through. It could be seen as falling into negative behaviors, relapsing back into an addiction or being stuck in a negative attitude because of your current season of life.

But what you’re dealing with is the burden. It’s a heavyweight to bear & you’re doing the best you can.

A lot of times we appear to be a burden to others because we haven’t found the right support system yet. We tend to lean on those we feel the most safe with, people that have been there for us before, those that demonstrate strength to us. But sometimes these people are not as strong as we once thought. And they can be dealing with their own struggles, so leaning on them isn’t the most helpful. That doesn’t mean they can’t help or won’t help, but might not be the most helpful during certain times.

But it’s not the appearing to be a burden that causes the most trouble. The biggest issue is you believing you are a burden to others or even yourself.

I’ll admit, it sucks when people slap labels on you. I was called a burden from a young age because I was an unexpected responsibility. The shame of being a burden only grew from there as my problems increased. Which means this thought is a belief deeply rooted in my core belief system because it’s been there so long. And I’m sure that is how a lot of us come to believe this lie.

Today I want to review a list of things we naturally, yet incorrectly, use to identify ourselves as a burden to others. This list is full of common struggles many of us go through that can cause us to believe we are a burden because we require support from others. Support that is not as even as it usually is. 

Let me remind you that you’re not a burden because:

1. You’re dealing with trauma, old or new
2. You feel strongly about something that affects someone else
3. You’re struggling with your mental health
4. You’ve decided to be honest about how you’re feeling 
5. You need help and/or support

Thank you again for listening & I hope this episode was helpful.

Distractions are normally seen as bad things & time wasters. But I'm here to share with you how distractions can be really helpful & beneficial to your everyday life.

Show Notes:
There is power in distractions. And I mean a good kind of power. Most likely a power you never knew existed because distractions are always seen as bad things that we should avoid. But actually, distractions can be so good for us, when not overused.

I’m the kind of person that gets distracted pretty easily because I want to make sure I am on top of everything all of the time. It’s really ridiculous, I know, and I’m working on it, but it’s the way it is right now. It’s also because my mind is always busy. It’s always working on something that I thought I had forgotten, but really had only put on the back burner to simmer. Is your mind like that? 

But like everyone else, I can get distracted from what I’m doing because I’m bored or disinterested in what I should be doing. This is normal. And the normal response to getting distracted when you should be doing something else is to not let distractions steal time from you. To not allow something else to steal your focus & cause you to waste time. But I don’t believe that all distractions are bad for us. 

It’s true these can throw us off track for a period of time, but with proper awareness of time & responsibility, distractions can be used to induce so many positive things. And that’s what I want to chat with you about today! I’m going to share some examples of how distractions can be helpful & positive:

1. Distractions Can Ease Pain & Help You Cope
2. Distractions Can Take Attention Away from Bad Habits, Negative Impulses & Urges
3. Distractions Can Divert Attention Away from Stress
4. Distractions Can Aid in Creativity
5. Distractions Can Make a Tough or Boring Activity More Enduring

Lastly, the key to determining whether a distraction is helpful to you or not is asking yourself, “Is this helpful right now?” Now, you’ll have to be completely honest with yourself, so really consider if having a little break from your current task will better your focus when you have to return to said task. You’ll know if taking a break will cause you to fall completely over the wagon of focus or not.

Let me know what other positives you can find in leaning into distractions that help & not hinder you!

Thank you again for listening & I hope this episode was helpful.

When you are in search of mental health support these days, many people will talk about being more mindful & establishing that as an everyday practice in your life. But what does it actually mean to be mindful? Let me fill you in!

Show Notes:
The way I think about mindfulness is the practice of being as present as you can in your life. Being present & being aware of how you’re feeling (see: self-awareness) and how those emotions are impacting your responses & reactions. Being able to check-in with yourself & determine if you’re overwhelmed or not. It’s a way to not let yourself drown in everything the world throws at us on a daily basis. Mindfulness is also considered a form of meditation. Which can be helpful to some, but not everyone. It can be both meditation & mind exercise.

Being present in our everyday lives is so integral to actually enjoying our lives & making the most of our time on this earth. We spend so much time worrying about the future & regretting the past that it leaves barely any time for enjoying the now. Which is too bad because we work really hard to be where we are right now & don’t even take the time to enjoy it.

And I want you to know that it’s not wrong to think about the future & consider what you can learn from the past, but there should be a limit to these activities because there is only so much you can do on either side that will matter & make a difference. We don’t know how life is going to turn out day to day or whether a past mistake or failure will affect us as much as we think in the future, so we need to give ourselves a break.

That’s why I wanted to go over some ways you can incorporate mindfulness into your everyday life:

1. Accept & honor the different emotions that come through you. You don’t need to fixate on one emotion or all of them. Understand that your feelings will change as the day progresses & that’s healthy.
2. Choose to respond instead of react.
3. Make sure you are going through life at a manageable pace. Overloading yourself with too much can cause a lot of distraction & not allow you to enjoy the present as well.
4. Let go of the need to control everything.
5. Practice being grateful for the big things & the small things.
6. Become a better listener.

Everything that happens to us should be seen as lessons in life to make us stronger, not convince us how weak & shameful we should be. Today I am sharing 5 tips on how to not let your past define you.

Show Notes:
Do you spend a lot of time thinking about how something that happened in the past could have gone differently? I used to spend a ton of time really ruminating about the past, accompanied by a ton of regrets because of whatever happened. Even if it was something I couldn’t control. I usually end up believing that if I wasn’t there to witness what happened, then it wouldn’t have happened. But all of that does nothing to reverse what happened, who was involved or how it may or may not affect the future.

I’m here to tell you that no matter how much time you spend thinking about how things could have gone better & really leaning into hindsight being 20/20, it won’t make anything different or better. It will actually make it more difficult to move forward & leave the issues behind you.

But at least you aren’t alone! Many people go through moments that feel regretful & awful at the time, but a lot of times it’s not as bad as it seems. It can seem worse than it is because you pick everything apart. The detailed examination of everything is the problem. And I understand how this is helpful sometimes when serious events occur, but usually not. These are also great ways to learn lessons & become stronger. We become our best selves in these moments.

But I’m sure you may also worry about what others think of you when hearing of your past. I used to for the longest time. I was really ashamed of my past. But I eventually became tired of holding myself back from doing what I wanted just because I was worried about what others would say & think. And that’s not to say I don’t still worry about those things, but I am more mindful about it.

Even more than worrying about others' judgement, we actually suffer the most from our own. We allow the regret, failures and mistakes to pile up & become so big that it feels like we are living in the shadows of those things. It feels impossible to not be defined by these things because we inflated the negative experiences surrounding these events. Instead, we should be adjusting our perspective to see how helpful going through adversity can be for us. It’s never fun when it’s happening, but valuable lessons are being learned to better prepare you for the future.

I know our pasts can be really heavy. It can be this great burden to bear that seems to always be getting heavier. But I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be that way. And I want you to know, it’s not easy to let go of your past & no longer let it define you, but it’s necessary. 

Today I want to share with you 5 ways to no longer let your past define you & move forward feeling freer:

1. Learn to forgive whoever hurt you & forgive yourself.
2. Think about the person you want to be, not who you feel like you have to be.
3. Fight against your fear of judgement.
4. Reflect more on how those experiences made you stronger, not weaker.
5. Surround yourself with people that accept you for who you are & are becoming.

Tell yourself that you are defined by how you rise out of the pits of despair, not how you fell into those.

Thank you again for listening & I hope this episode was helpful.
