RealPositiveGirl - Weekly Encouragement & Mental Health

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Wednesday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: New Year, Same You, New Mood

This week I want to talk to you about how important it is to know that you do not have to  recreate yourself every single year. A 'new you' is not required yearly, but it can be helpful to make some shifts & changes that will support your current work & goals. But with change can come some challenges, which I am also chatting about this week.

New year new you isn’t a bad thing. I want to make sure I mention that up front, but it’s not something I think everyone needs to live by, especially since some goals & plans extend year to year & don’t require much change.

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• I didn’t want to title this self-care because everyone in the world talks about self-care, even me, so let’s just speak on things in general that are helpful to start the year off.
• Make the Lists.
• Create a Mini Routine.
• Save Some Money.
• Learn Something Fun.
• Choose Some Healthy Goals
• Plan Time with People You Care About
• Prioritize Authenticity

Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!

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

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Happy Tuesday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: New Year, Same You, New Mood

This week I want to talk to you about how important it is to know that you do not have to  recreate yourself every single year. A 'new you' is not required yearly, but it can be helpful to make some shifts & changes that will support your current work & goals. But with change can come some challenges, which I am also chatting about this week.

New year new you isn’t a bad thing. I want to make sure I mention that up front, but it’s not something I think everyone needs to live by, especially since some goals & plans extend year to year & don’t require much change.

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• As I spoke about yesterday, with not having to change everything about yourself just because it’s a new year, it’s important to know that you can still create new goals.
• I made sure to reiterate in yesterday’s episode that you should still consider some new goals to add at the top of the year, if you find it complimentary to what you’re already working on. And if you do decide to add some new goals, make sure you don’t jump head first into anything & go too quickly.
• You don’t have to rush into anything, no matter how important the goal is to you. There is no need to go all in & get yourself overwhelmed, which could easily cause you to have to take a big step back, when you could have just started a little slower & progressed more & more over time.
• The reason I think taking your time is really important is because taking the time to prepare & actually make a sound decision on whether or not you want to move forward with that goal can save you a lot of time later, if you could have figured out it wasn’t for you sooner.
• Why waste your time diving into something you’re only lukewarm for or not completely sure of. It’s not a race. And if someone in your life is trying to push you to do something quicker than you’d like, believe me when I tell you that you don’t have to do it. You don’t have to submit to peer pressure & you don’t have to be bullied into doing anything you don’t want to do. You might be put down for it, but their actions toward is ONLY a reflection of themself.
• Also, try to think about goals in smaller amounts of time so that you don’t get overwhelmed or give up prematurely. Going month by month or quarter by quarter can help.
• Big picture: You don’t have to rush into anything. It’s usually better when you don’t.

Happy Monday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: New Year, Same You, New Mood

This week I want to talk to you about how important it is to know that you do not have to  recreate yourself every single year. A 'new you' is not required yearly, but it can be helpful to make some shifts & changes that will support your current work & goals. But with change can come some challenges, which I am also chatting about this week.

New year new you isn’t a bad thing. I want to make sure I mention that up front, but it’s not something I think everyone needs to live by, especially since some goals & plans extend year to year & don’t require much change.

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• It’s a new year, which brings a new mood, but that doesn’t mean there has to be a new you to go along with it.
• New year new you isn’t a bad thing. I want to make sure I mention that up front, but it’s not something I think everyone needs to live by, especially since some goals & plans extend year to year & don’t require much change.
• The new year to me feels like an ultimate Monday in a good way. I love Mondays so much because there is so much opportunity for new opportunities, new experiences & new mindsets. And while I believe in having that type of reset in your life, I don’t think that resetting means you have to change everything, you are just starting again or making a couple of tweaks.
• And despite what a lot of people may be telling you or sharing online, you can still work on becoming your best self by staying the same.
• One of the biggest things I see as a problem is not giving changes or shifts in your life enough time to truly affect you. Based on an article I read earlier last year, I believe habits aren’t actually created until you are 90 days in. I believe the actual research says 92 days, but still longer than the traditional 30 days. So let’s say that you started something in October & the new year comes along & you think you need to change it again just because it’s a new year, but you are only just getting into the fully formed habit phase. This means you should just stay the course you are currently on & adjust later, once you’ve given it time to actually make a difference in your life.
• I want to end by telling you that you do not have to change just because someone is expecting you to change or because many people around you or in your community circle are changing. It’s not necessary or gonna help you create real habits & important changes in your life.

Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Friday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: Own Who You Are

This week I want to give you some personal truths & beliefs to live by. These episodes will also help you realize that taking responsibility for everything in your life will make you stronger, not weaker.  

It's easy to blame someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out. 

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• You may not think so because everyone talks about how they are entitled to their opinion, which is true, but I feel like a lot of people’s opinions are based on someone else’s opinion, someone else’s knowledge or the fear of being judged for their true thoughts.
• I believe owning your opinion is just another one of the biggest & best things we can do to become more confident in ourselves & become our best selves.
• But something I believe everyone forgets is that people’s opinions are not facts or necessarily truths, but just that person’s thoughts. Which is why we should use caution when we try to align with someone else’s opinions or try to take on their point of view.
• There truly isn’t anything wrong with owning your own opinion & believing in your own thoughts. 
• But I understand that one of the biggest issues with sharing your own opinion is that people will judge you for not having the same opinion as them. People fear what they don’t know or don’t find similar. 
• But it’s so important that we find the courage within ourselves to stay firm in our own beliefs & opinions so that we honor who we are & what WE truly believe, not based on someone else.
• But if you have trouble forming your own opinion, letting alone owning one, I have a few suggestions that may help you. First, learn to trust what your gut feelings are. Next, talk with others about their experiences. Next, consider your own experiences. Also, consider doing some research for both sides, if it applies to the opinion you are trying to consider. And know that it is ok to change your opinion, if you choose to see something a different way, but make sure that is actually by choice & not because someone is trying to bully you into doing so or you feel pressured.  And lastly, understand that not everyone will accept it what you believe.
• Finally, when you do craft your opinion & choose to own it fully, do it respectfully.
• There will be people that do not agree with what you believe. So when you decide to share your opinions with others, understand that it is fine & your right to share it, but it’s not fair to try to force someone else to think the same as you do.
• It’s tough because one of the biggest problems I see right now is that when someone devulges their opinion to others, it can easily lead the listener to placing that person in a category or stereotyped group because of one thought or belief.
• Just go into owning your opinion knowing there will be some unease at some point because not everyone is respectful or fair

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Thursday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: Own Who You Are

This week I want to give you some personal truths & beliefs to live by. These episodes will also help you realize that taking responsibility for everything in your life will make you stronger, not weaker.  

It's easy to blame someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out. 

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• Owning your decisions comes down to one very specific truth, you don’t need someone else’s approval for what you choose to do.
• Yesterday I spoke about owning your desires, which includes making decisions to follow through with your dreams & wants. But to follow through with your decisions, you have to own those decisions.
• Owning your decisions will increase your confidence in who you are, what you want & how you want your life to go.
• But let me mention that if you have trouble owning your decisions because you have made poor decisions in the past, understand that those experiences are in the past. And we all make mistakes & hopefully accept the learning lessons that come along with those, and when we do, we can move on from those things. Not continue to linger in it.
• But if your decision regret is all-consuming, take the time to practice gratitude & it should help to change your perspective of negativity.
• We often struggle with owning our decisions due to caring too much about what others think, not trusting ourselves enough or feelings of shame & guilt.
• But when we allow others opinions & comments dictate what we do or don’t do, we are putting our happiness in their hands. Even though the truth is you are the only one in charge of your happiness, by staking it all on what someone else thinks, you are virtually giving them all the power.
• And a lot of times we actually know what decisions we would like to make, but we get so hung up on relying on others opinions that we lose faith in our own. By doing so, you are basically telling yourself what you think doesn’t matter.
• And you might not think this is too big a problem because it has always worked out for you, but what can happen is you start to live within this victim mentality & blame others for the poor decisions you have made.
• The biggest suggestion I would give you is to figure out why you are having trouble owning your decisions & come up with what to do to get through that struggle.
• Figure out why you are letting fear, others opinions or distrust in yourself get in your way.
• Start implementing boundaries with what you share with others or how you let their opinions affect you, be willing to follow through with decisions, even if everything isn’t perfect & make sure that the reason you aren’t owning your own decisions isn’t because you feel obligated to handle someone else’s. Know your personal & emotional responsibility only extends so far as you, not having to carry someone else’s.

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Happy Wednesday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: Own Who You Are

This week I want to give you some personal truths & beliefs to live by. These episodes will also help you realize that taking responsibility for everything in your life will make you stronger, not weaker.  

It's easy to blame someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out. 

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• Today, let’s talk about owning our own desires, because I know some of us struggle with doing this, due to fear of rejection, judgement & failure.
• Our own personal desires can be the top things that bring us so much joy, happiness & fulfillment, but generally only if we follow through with acting on these. But I know many people struggle with the follow through because of what someone else might think or not being able to have the expected experience or outcome you had planned for.
• First, let’s talk about how important it is to acknowledge the desires of our heart. We should look forward to exploring more of what gives us that spark, as it promotes more self-awareness & inner work I like to encourage here.
• Honestly, I believe that when we don’t acknowledge those desires, we are stifling our gifts, talents & true hearts. I know this might sound a bit fluffy & airy, but you really are denying yourself & important part of who you are but suppressing anything that sparks something positive in you.
• We all know that I love to promote authenticity, which is why I want to make sure you’re aware that by not owning your desires & let those grow, you aren’t practicing authenticity & being your true self.
• One of the most important things I want to note is that our desires really are a piece of who we are as people & if we don’t own those, it becomes harder to understand you, who you are & what you’re about. 
• We all have our own specific & purposeful desires, which will help us know ourselves better & continue to grow into the unique individual we were meant to be.
• If you are having trouble figuring out how to own your desire, ask yourself if there were no roadblocks in your life, what would you do? How would you follow through if everything could be perfect?
• Take the time to get to know that deep part of you & let it be free to grow & teach you things about yourself. By doing so, you will cultivate greater happiness, freedom & emotional stability, as you won’t be fighting yourself on what you want, you’ll know.
• And if your issue is that you are super concerned with what others may think or how they will judge you, come back tomorrow, as I discuss owning your own decisions & opinions.
• But just know that what someone else says is only their opinion & not an actual roadblock. You can do what you want. Look to someone you admire & see how they do as they choose & use that as inspiration.

Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!

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

Happy Tuesday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: Own Who You Are

This week I want to give you some personal truths & beliefs to live by. These episodes will also help you realize that taking responsibility for everything in your life will make you stronger, not weaker.  

It's easy to blame someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out. 

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• Today I want to talk about the thing that, out of this entire week of what we are going to talk about, was the easiest for me & hopefully for you, too. We are going to talk about owning your past.
• Obviously, the past is in the past. You can’t change it, you can’t swap it out, & you have to accept what has happened because there really isn’t anything else you can do.
• The funny thing about the past is that people always want to throw out what has happened to them in the past, more specifically when it was a negative experience, because it’s much easier to forget & avoid something, rather than deal with it.
• I talk about it all the time, the things we go through provides so much growth & learning opportunities. Which I understand isn’t the most fun thing, but it’s necessary to understanding yourself better & becoming your best self.
• On the flip side, there are some people that choose to instead live in the past. You get so caught up in what has happened & get into a whirlwind of thinking it means more than it usually does & let it hold you back from the rest of your life.
• How sad is it that we let certain experiences hold us back from living & being who we were meant to be? I get that it might have sucked, but you don’t have to let it be all-consuming & controlling.
• I grew up with a ton of terrible experiences, but I chose to learn from those because it was the choice that allowed me to not be continuously haunted by what happened.
• It also taught me how to be a better person, better mom, better wife, better friend, because I chose to not let negativity crush me. You can do the same.
• Now whether you are on the side of being obsessed with your past & letting it rule your life or trying to pretend like none of it happened, you need to understand that it is a part of you & something you should try to use as a reference for what to do, not to do or do something better or different.
• The biggest piece of information I want to share with you today is that you need to accept your past to better appreciate your future. If you get so stuck in wishing things had gone differently, you won’t appreciate how it’s actually turning out or becoming better than you even expected.
• A couple other pieces of owning your past: accept the attached negative emotions, grow through what you go through, & go slow with yourself.

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Happy Monday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: Own Who You Are

This week I want to give you some personal truths & beliefs to live by. These episodes will also help you realize that taking responsibility for everything in your life will make you stronger, not weaker.  

It's easy to blame someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out. 

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• This week we are going to talk about owning everything we are all about.
• It can be so easy to stick blame on someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out. It’s also unfair to those you are blaming.
• Today specifically I want to chat about owning your own personal emotions.
• A lot of times we will blame (and you may not even realize you are blaming someone else) someone else for how we are feeling because of something they said or did or inferred to us. But that’s actually not true, because despite how someone else treats you, you are always responsible for your own emotions.
• It takes a lot of responsibility to own your own feelings, but it’s the right & necessary thing to do. By doing so, it will help you better manage how you are feeling & eventually why you are feeling the way you are.
• Blaming someone else can make it easier to justify how you choose to feel, but again, this is just you playing yourself as the victim & that you have nothing to do with the reason you are suffering.
• The best thing about owning your feelings is being able to be in control of those feelings. By trying to pass off the blame onto others, you are conceding control of how you feel, which is not something anyone actually wants.
• In addition to owning how you are feeling, it’s important to own your emotions in general. And by this I mean that you should accept how you are feeling, even if you know it’s irrational at the moment, rather than suppress it.
• Suppressed feelings are not something that goes away over time, but still burning underneath the surface, waiting for the next opportunity to come out, but only bigger & better the longer it is hidden.
• There is no reason to pretend you are not feeling what you’re feeling, as this will just cause more pain later. I like to imagine it as sweeping emotions under the rug & continually building a volcano sized amount of feelings to explode later.
• Regardless of how irrational something feels in the moment, it’s a true insight to how you feel about whatever it is & that needs to be recognized. And, like I say often, generally those feelings are only surface level & the real issue is buried below.
• Bottom Line: Stop blaming others for how you choose to feel about something & stop trying to bury your feelings because you don’t want to deal with what comes with understanding what those things mean.

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Friday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: How to Review Your Year

This week I want to give you some direction on how to give 2020 a full-on review to pull out the amazing positive points, growing opportunities & things to bring into 2021  that are unfinished & continuing.

Reviewing your year may sound boring or unnecessary, but it gives you the chance to actually realize how many positives happened, how those things probably outweighed the negatives & what you need to do to make the upcoming year to best yet.

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• What better way to close out the old year & ring in the new year than me encouraging you to come up with mindful changes for the new year.
• This is going to be more of a quick encouragement, rather than a big lesson or even a checklist.
• It’s important to come up with some sort of changes you would like to implement this new year, just to push yourself, even if you are just working on current goals & not new ones.
• There are so many lists out there of examples of change you can make to make a difference in your life.
• For example: volunteer more, adopt and attitude of gratitude, spend less & do more (if possible), create a monthly budget, create specific routines, or even decide to get rid of one bad habit.
• It does not have to be New Year, New You. It can for sure be New Year, Same You, New Mood.

This week I want to give you some direction on how to give 2020 a full-on review to pull out the amazing positive points, growing opportunities & things to bring into 2021  that are unfinished & continuing.

Reviewing your year may sound boring or unnecessary, but it gives you the chance to actually realize how many positives happened, how those things probably outweighed the negatives & what you need to do to make the upcoming year to best yet.

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• I feel like this is going to be the easiest thing you do within this entire year in review that I’m speaking about this year.
• Today I want to briefly talk about the importance of reviewing goals you had over the year & deciding what to do about incomplete & completed goals.
• The importance of reviewing your goals in general is to keep those desires, dreams, & aspirations at the forefront of your mind so that other things don’t come in & distract you too much. You want to make sure you are giving those goals the time & attention needed to actually get accomplished.
• Generally yearly goals are smaller goals that come together to represent your life goals. And I believe that a true review only needs to be completed once a year, with small check-ins conducted throughout the year.
• But it’s in the yearly review that you see if the rate of your progression is to your liking, decide if these goals are actually right for you, & whether or not you are going about achieving those goals with the correct plan & associated steps.
• If you find that some of the goals you have are not completed within the year, that’s totally fine. Many goals are super long-term & meant to progress year after year, like schooling, other career oriented actions & projects that including several building phases, like a business or actual buildings.
• And it’s during this time that you should decide if you’d like to continue on with these goals or whether or not you’d like to change course or just make some changes in general.
• For the goals that you accomplished, then it’s really taking the time to reflect on such positive moments & accomplishments, which usually makes you feel great. But it could also encourage you to decide whether or not you want to create a new goal modeled after that one or make the decision that that goal is finished, even if just for now.
• The main point I want to leave you with is to review your goals, finished or unfinished, & decide if any adjustments need to be made. New way of get through the struggle points. New method on how to learn something new. New set of steps to follow that might make the process easier & more enjoyable.
