  • Practice Empathy & Gratitude - Habits for Happiness

    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: Habits for Happiness

    This week I want to talk about some important habits to include in your daily life to cultivate more happiness on the regular.

    Hopefully, these tips will assist you in whatever journey you are on in your life & make your experiences more enjoyable!

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • I know I always talk about gratitude, but it’s something we should be highlighting all the time.
    • Allowing gratitude into your life is one of the best ways to invite more happiness into your life. Being thankful for what you have & for those in your life is really comforting & fulfilling.
    • Let’s talk about some easy ways to practice gratitude: Start a gratitude journal or just a place where you list at least 4 things, big or small, that you are grateful for each day.
    • Spend more time with loved ones & those important in your life. Make intentional time for those closest to you, remind them how much you care about them & continue to cherish the moments you get to grow closer.
    • One of the most known ways of practicing gratitude is to volunteer with any special skills you have or simply your time. Helping others is so fulfilling & will help to humble you when helping those that have less than you.
    • Making an impact in your local community can better your perspective on life & give you a sense of contentment.
    • Even just saying thank you more will help you practice gratitude outloud & everyone loves to hear that type of appreciation.
    • Now let's talk about empathy. It’s so important to be fully empathetic when someone needs us. And being empathetic needs to be a selfless act.
    • Some great empathetic skills to have are first off, practice being an active listener. Do not underestimate the power of just sitting with someone & fully listening to someone without having your own inner dialogue going on. This also includes not interrupting.
    • And make sure you are treating the other person with kindness, not pity or sympathy.
    • If given the chance, ask more follow-up questions that allow your friend to open up more.
    • One of the most important things to remember is to not minimize their feelings. Don’t say things like, “It’s not that bad,” or “it could be worse.” On top of this, do not offer unsolicited advice. If they want advice, they will ask for it. Sometimes people just want you to listen & are not wanting a fix for their problem.
    • It’s okay to let them feel what they are feeling. There will be a time for encouraging them to look on the bright side.
    • Lastly, refrain from judging them or making the conversation about you. You don’t need to jump in with what you would do or how you dealt with something similar yourself. Make sure the focus is on them fully.

  • Not Everyone Will Like You & That's Okay - Habits for Happpiness

    Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

    Thank you so much for joining me again!

    Happy Tuesday!

    This week's theme for the podcast is: Habits for Happiness

    This week I want to talk about some important habits to include in your daily life to cultivate more happiness on the regular.

    Hopefully, these tips will assist you in whatever journey you are on in your life & make your experiences more enjoyable!

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • One of the most important things for all of us to learn & accept is that not everyone will like us.
    • True happiness will come from being confident in who you are, despite what others think of you.
    • Sometimes it doesn’t matter who you are, how nice you are or what you do for someone, they still won’t like you.
    • And please know that this is THEIR problem, not yours. If someone chooses to not like you, don’t feel like you need to do anything about it. Unless you have wronged them in some way, which then you should right that wrong.
    • Just know that you are not for everyone & everyone is not for you. I’m sure there are people you don’t like & that’s totally fine. It’s not a crime to not like someone, it’s normal.
    • And I don’t think it’s a negative thing that some people don’t like us & we don’t like some people. There are all different types of people & not everyone is going to mesh like best friends.
    • And if this is still tough for you to accept, this should be an indicator that you need to work on detaching from people pleasing skills.
    • And don’t try to convince someone to like you, either. This is a waste of your time & could also turn into a situation where someone knows you are trying so hard & will use that against you & take advantage of the situation.
    • The best thing to do is to not take what other people say or think about you personally.
    • Why would you want to leave your sense of worth in someone else’s hands? That’s what you’re doing when you depend on what others think of you or whether them liking you or not, dictate how you feel about yourself.
    • This is unhealthy & not you practicing self-confidence & knowing your own worth.
    • Own who you are, despite everyone else.
    • But please remember that even if someone doesn’t like you & decides to show it openly, this is still NOT a reason to treat anyone badly or mirror their behavior back.
    • Always treat others with kindness & respect, despite how they treat you.
    • Being the bigger person is super hard, but it’s necessary and will encourage others, over time, to be better, as well.
    • Lastly, make sure you recognize the people that actually love you, really enjoy your company and who you are. Those people are the ones that really matter & that you should have your focus on.
    • Being content in who you are & those that like you & enjoy your company are the things that will contribute to your happiness.

  • What's Your WHY for Your Life? - Habits for Happiness

    Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

    Thank you so much for joining me again!

    Happy Monday!

    This week's theme for the podcast is: Habits for Happiness

    This week I want to talk about some important habits to include in your daily life to cultivate more happiness on the regular.

    Hopefully, these tips will assist you in whatever journey you are on in your life & make your experiences more enjoyable!

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • Finding & reminding yourself of your WHY for your life is one of the best ways to establish & cultivate happiness in your life because it continually reinforces your purpose & direction in life.
    • Your WHY can also be referred to as your purpose in life.
    • You are continuing to remind yourself what’s more important & the reason you do most the things in your life.
    • Ultimately, your WHY is the real reason why you are doing what you’re doing.
    • I have talked previously about how knowing your WHY relates to creating SMART goals & achieving said goals.
    • But a few points for what you will gain when you know your WHY:
    • First it helps you to stay focused on your goal. It’s your own personal motivation & internal encouragement. It will also help you stay focused on achieving your goal & be pulled away by distractions.
    • Knowing your WHY also contributes to becoming more passionate about your goals & not giving up when things get tough. You can see a faint picture of what the end result will be, which is exciting & reignites drive.
    • And knowing your WHY will establish & flourish gratitude. It’s hard to not be filled with gratitude when you are going after your purpose & passions. Being happy with your life & the progress you are making will cause your gratitude to overflow into other things & people in your life.
    • Now let’s talk about a quick overview of how to find your WHY.
    • First, think about what interests you without having to think too deeply. This should be outside of work, unless you are truly in love with your work & it relates to your true interests.
    • Also think about anything you naturally immerse yourself in & that really brings you joy while doing it.
    • In addition to that, next ask yourself if there is anything that you do now that you could see yourself doing all the time. Like if you ever have any free time, what is the one thing that you always want to spend your time on.
    • Next, what do you spend your time researching about, whether it be in books, podcasts, or videos.  It’s likely what you spend your time learning more about is your purpose & your why.
    • Your why doesn’t have to be something you need to work at, necessarily. It can be something you are already naturally good at or have skills in. 
    • Lastly, what gives you a sense of value, pride, true excitement inside? These questions will also help you tap into what your purpose is. Maybe you haven’t taken the time to really think these through, but if you do, you should see it clearly.

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

  • Live Life with Positive Perspective - No More Negativity

    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: No More Negativity

    A lot of us spend more time talking, sharing & focusing on the negatives in our life, when we need to be spending more time highlighting the positives.

    This week I want to talk about some tips to rid yourself of negativity in relation to your thoughts, self-doubt, worry, perfectionism, control issues, and complaining habits.

    Hopefully, these tips will help steer you toward a more positive mindset, become more aware of triggers that bring out negative emotions and focus less on gossipy problems and more on positive, happy stories.

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • We will all have to deal with negativity at some point. It’s just how life goes. But learning to limit and manage how it affects you & your life is the key.
    • We don’t get to choose when bad or difficult things happen to us, but we do get to choose our mindset & perspective.
    • It’s important to remember that when you are feeling yourself dip into a place of negativity & complaining, catch yourself before the thought spirals out of control.
    • It’s also helpful to surround yourself with people that are uplifting & positive on the regular. There isn’t going to be anyone that is happy & positive all of the time, but if the majority of their days are spent spouting off negativity, that’s not the best company.
    • And make time for positive experiences, like finding time with friends & enjoying hobbies, as well as making time for exercise, which is known to boost mood.
    • If you have trouble balancing the negativity in your life, stress management might be something to look into, too. Stress management techniques are easy to look up online & for sure I will be doing a week talking about it, too.
    • I want to give you a few things you can focus on to have a positive perspective, instead of spending any time complaining.
    • First off, spend more time focusing on gratitude, especially when you have the urge to complain. This will help you focus on the good & humble you as well.
    • It’s also helpful to focus on taking care of yourself, nurturing yourself & making sure you are putting your needs first. If you don’t take care of yourself, you aren’t able to help anyone else.
    • Something that might seem strange to suggest to help manifest a positive perspective is to take some time to focus on forgiveness & letting things go. Continuing to hold grudges & transgressions against others will only continue to manifest more negativity in your life because of the weight judgment you are holding against them.
    • Lastly, find ways to empower yourself & take control of your mindset every single day. This could be positive affirmations, listening & watching positive programming, like podcasts or youtube videos or audiobooks (regular reading works, too), cut out anyone in your life that brings you down or is constantly spitting out negativity, try to simplify your life to cut back on stress, and spend some time focusing on goals & bettering yourself that way. Focus on things that are going to help you grow more into your best self, which will help you cultivate more positive opportunities.

  • Stop Complaining - No More Negativity

    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: No More Negativity

    A lot of us spend more time talking, sharing & focusing on the negatives in our life, when we need to be spending more time highlighting the positives.

    This week I want to talk about some tips to rid yourself of negativity in relation to your thoughts, self-doubt, worry, perfectionism, control issues, and complaining habits.

    Hopefully, these tips will help steer you toward a more positive mindset, become more aware of triggers that bring out negative emotions and focus less on gossipy problems and more on positive, happy stories.

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • I don’t think I really need to tell you that complaining brings negativity into your life.
    • It’s a pretty easy concept to understand & it’s a negative action in itself.
    • I want you to know that complaining is an ego boost for yourself.
    • The main reasons people complain is to feel righted in whatever the situation is, feel powerful when you initially feel weak & superior over whatever wronged you.
    • But just know these feelings are an illusion. Complaining is not going to make you superior.
    • Also, no one enjoys listening to others complain, so consider that next time you go on a complaining rant. If you want to rant, make sure it has structure & purpose, not open-ended negativity.
    • Some easy ways to reduce your amount of complaining and continue to eliminate negativity in your life is first to become aware of what is coming out of your mouth.
    • Becoming more mindful is a skill that will help with many things in life, but specifically with complaining, it should help you reduce what you actually say.
    • It’s the simple concept of think before you speak.
    • By being aware of what you are saying more often, you may realize you complain more than you think & this will help you nip this problem in the bud.
    • Also be aware of who you surround yourself with. If you find that you are spending time with people that complain a lot, always have something negative to say or just are injecting anything positive into your time together, you may want to rethink how often you are spending time with them.
    • And don’t feed into other’s complaining. Complaining shouldn’t be an event.
    • If you find yourself really wanting to get your complaint out, start by reflecting back on what went wrong before you talk negatively about it. By voicing your concerns & frustrations & reflecting on what those things mean to you or how those things affect you, it becomes easier to problem solve those things & not turn it into a negative experience.
    • If you find that you are stuck in the situation & all you want to do is complain to voice your negative feeling, consider changing your mindset & accepting the situation for what it is.
    • I know this doesn’t sound fun, but sometimes that is all you can do & having a neutral mindset is better & more useful than a negative one.
    • Negative mindsets aren’t going to help you problem solve once you have an opportunity to do so.
    • Lastly, instead of complaining, take action (if you can) and ma

  • Perfectionism & Control Issues - No More Negativity

    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: No More Negativity

    A lot of us spend more time talking, sharing & focusing on the negatives in our life, when we need to be spending more time highlighting the positives.

    This week I want to talk about some tips to rid yourself of negativity in relation to your thoughts, self-doubt, worry, perfectionism, control issues, and complaining habits.

    Hopefully these tips will help steer you toward a more positive mindset, become more aware of triggers that bring out negative emotions and focus less on gossipy problems and more on positive, happy stories.

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • The negativity that perfectionism can bring down on you is purely from allowing yourself to believe that you could actually be perfect at everyone at some point.
    • Perfectionism is not a real, achievable goal. But the fact that we talk ourselves into believing that it is turns into a negative cloud over our life.
    • Even though perfectionism seems like you are heavily going after your goals & working hard to do your best, perfectionists still aren’t completely satisfied in the end product, despite how well it turned out.
    • Not to mention feeling weighed down by the fear of not being able to measure up to yours or others unrealistic expectations.
    • Also, spending so much time obsessing over the any mistakes you have made for sure isn’t bringing in any positivity into your life. And the fear of making anymore mistakes in the future will prevent perfectionists from trying new things in the future, for fear of failing.
    • And one of the biggest things that will bring negativity in your life while living as a perfectionist is procrastination, which just brings unneeded stress & anxiety.
    • Some might think that having control issues will actually help you prevent negativity in your life because you are trying to stay on top & in charge of everything, but trying to be in control of everything causes more stress, leading to inviting more negativity into your life.
    • Continuously trying to make sure every situation turns out how you want it will prevent you from having spontaneous fun & adventures in your life.
    • Always pushing yourself & others to follow the rules so everything will turn out how you want it to will hurt relationships, put fear into those in the relationship because they don’t know what expectations you have, know they will disappoint you if they fall short of any high or unknown expectations & will just generate general conflict with the need to always control everything, including actions & behaviors of others, whom you are not responsible for.
    • The best way to combat control issues & perfectionism is to ask yourself what these behaviors are masking & what fears & anxieties are actually causing you to have the need to be in control of everything & all need to be perfect.

  • Self Doubt & Worry - No More Negativity

    Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

    Thank you so much for joining me again!

    Happy Tuesday!

    This week's theme for the podcast is: No More Negativity

    A lot of us spend more time talking, sharing & focusing on the negatives in our life, when we need to be spending more time highlighting the positives.

    This week I want to talk about some tips to rid yourself of negativity in relation to your thoughts, self-doubt, worry, perfectionism, control issues, and complaining habits.

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • Self doubt & worry play into personal negativity pretty hard because these are emotions we are thrusting upon ourselves.
    • Worry causes a spiral of fear & anxiety because it’s the neverending anticipation of uncertain events & an unknown future.
    • Try to pay attention to your thoughts. Be aware of what you are thinking about, what emotions those thoughts bring out of you, & how you are overall affected.
    • Becoming more mindful will allow you to change your thoughts and spin it into something else. 
    • I always talk about the 5 Minute Reset and that is another way to combat worry. Take the actual worry out of it and take some time to regain peace & clarity, allowing you a better opportunity to problem-solve instead of dwell.
    • I feel like social media brings up feelings in us we didn’t even know we could worry or care about. And those in our lives that tend to burden us with their extra baggage can be an issue as well.  We need to establish boundaries, even with social media to cut out any extra worrying opportunities.
    • Practicing gratitude is always a good option. It helps to humble you & set your mind in the right perspective.
    • I know I always talk about being self aware, but it’s super important and I am going to mention it here again. By asking yourself questions and finding out if your worrying is rational, necessary or productive, it will help to lessen it and redirect your mental energy to problem solving or letting go all together. Maybe it’s just not your issue to deal with.
    • Get it out on paper & go from there.
    • Self doubt it not only coming after & questioning your current abilities, but also the potential for new ones in the future. It’s kind of like holding ourselves captive for fear we won’t succeed.
    • Here are a few ways to break away from self doubt:
    • First, remind yourself that you are capable of doing the things you are doing & have the ability & competence to try new things without the weight of winning or losing.
    • Create a list of current accomplishments.
    • Stop comparing yourself to others. 
    • Know that your efforts are totally worth it because even if you don’t succeed, you will still learn & grow through the experience.
    • And when trying new things, don’t rush it. There is no timer, even if you feel like there is one and it’s not a race. People who say there is are speaking directly from their pride.
    • Make small changes along the way to become more confident & fearless. Build up to that mindset to prevent you from becoming overwhelmed.
    • Lastly, keep trying, even when you make mistakes and don’t have any regrets.

  • Check Your Negative Thoughts - No More Negativity

    Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

    Thank you so much for joining me again!

    Happy Monday!

    This week's theme for the podcast is: No More Negativity

    A lot of us spend more time talking, sharing & focusing on the negatives in our life, when we need to be spending more time highlighting the positives.

    This week I want to talk about some tips to rid yourself of negativity in relation to your thoughts, self-doubt, worry, perfectionism, control issues, and complaining habits.

    Hopefully these tips will help steer you toward a more positive mindset, become more aware of triggers that bring out negative emotions and focus less on gossipy problems and more on positive, happy stories.

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • This week we are going to talk about kicking negativity out of your life!
    • I feel like it is super easy to highlight the negative things in our life as opposed to the positive. We always want to tell people what happened to us that was bad and barely mention the good.
    • And I get that bad things are more gossipy and juicy stories to tell, but positive things are more uplifting and encouraging, to be honest.
    • So if you struggle with negative thoughts, I am here to give you some things to think about to make a change in your life. 
    • Today I will give you some easy tips to recognize and cut negativity out of your daily life and through this week we will chat about how negativity is associated with self doubt, worry, perfectionism, control issues, and complaining.
    • One of the biggest tips for combating negative thoughts is to be aware when you are drifting into a negative headspace.
    • If you find yourself becoming negative, whether it’s by yourself or within a group or multiple person setting, stop yourself immediately. And as awkward as it may seem, if it means you have to leave the situation you are currently in to do so, then do it.
    • I encourage this to sustain the best mental health possible.
    • Also, it’s important to realize if certain people or groups of people bring out the worst in you. If that’s the case, please reconsider spending time with those friends in general or until you are able to manage your emotions enough to not get caught up in their negativity. Sometimes it’s very easy to feed into whatever everyone else is doing.
    • Another way to keep your negativity in check is to be aware of your triggers.
    • If you can identify people, places, topics, situations that bring out negativity in you, it should help you avoid, deal or manage it.
    • If you have never heard of triggers, I encourage you to look into them and what it would mean to you.
    • Triggers are things that cause you to feel and act a certain kind of way. If you’ve never taken the time to consider whether or not the same people, situations or topics are causing you to act out or be affected emotionally, i would highly encourage you to do so, as this will help you become more self-aware & on top of the management of your emotions.
    • I want to end today’s episode by talking about a couple more things that will help cut back on negative thoughts.
    • Serving someone else will definitely help you humble yourself and stop focusing on your own negative thoughts &

  • Creating Timely Goals - Creating SMART Goals

    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: Creating SMART Goals

    The concept of SMART goals was created originally by George T. Doran in 1981. He was a consultant that wrote down the acronym for an article talking about management goals.

    This week I want to break down each step of the formula & what you need to know to create the best goals ever!

    Hopefully, this helps you spend a little more time creating the best & easiest goals to accomplish.

    Here are some notes from today's episode:

    • This is our last step in the SMART goals formula! Yay!
    • I believe this is the most important step in the process of creating goals because it’s what will keep you in line and on track.
    • Creating timely goals means you need to create a deadline for your goal. Having an open-ended goal will give you the freedom to never accomplish it, procrastinate & just never get anywhere.
    • Creating milestones & actions that can be checked-off along the journey of your goal is so rewarding and encouraging.
    • These milestones can really be the thing that continues to motivate you and push you to the next one. It can also give you a sense of pride and accomplishment every time you check one-off.
    • Creating a timely goal also gives you something to look forward every single day, more so if it is broken down into multiple steps, which I HIGHLY suggest.
    • Creating a deadline for your goal will also implement some accountability for yourself, which a lot of us need on the regular.
    • But make sure you are choosing a reasonable amount of time to finish your goal. Don’t get over zealous or ambitious with this. But also don’t drag your feet on purpose.
    • Lastly, creating a timeline for your goal can also help diminish distractions, because you are bound by the deadline you have created for yourself and can’t be bothered with distractions.

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

    Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

    • You want to make sure your goals are realistic because there is no reason to stress yourself out over a goal that is actually unrealistic, but you decide to push yourself far beyond your actual capacity.
    • Pushing yourself too hard or too far will only cause you to sabotage your goal.
    • Along with setting realistic goals, make sure you aren’t setting too many goals a once or you will end up overwhelmed.
    • You will also want to ask yourself if this goal aligns with the rest of your goals & if this feels right to commit to.
    • You will want to make sure it’s a goal you actually want to pursue and the way to really know the answer to that ask yourself why you are wanting to go after this goal.
    • Another question to ask yourself to know whether or not this goal is realistic for you is to ask yourself if it’s worth going through all the effort & trouble for whatever the end result is.
    • The last important thought is to decide whether or not pursuing this goal will prevent you from going after anything else that is important to you.
    • Just make sure the goal is meaningful to you and something YOU actually want to do, not something someone else wants you to do. It will be very easy to fall off the wagon if you aren’t truly committed to it.
