We all struggle with resistance to what may be best for us.  Sometimes, we may not practice what we preach. Recognizing when you are in that place, is the gift of Self-awareness. Self-awareness around self-care is essential in order to take inventory of your areas of growth as well as areas where you may not be thriving. Ancy and Cindy have a candid conversation around their specific areas of resistance around self-care.  They share how, they too, struggle with resistance and how self-awareness allows a path to get back on track.

Listen to their candid confessions and you may resonate with your own areas of resistance and learn how to get your self- care back on track !

Loss is part of life. Loss hurts, and grieving a loss is self-care that heals! COVID-19 presented many losses for our global community. We lost a lot of what we knew, from normalcy to loved ones passing away.  Many organizations are facing loss and impacts to their workforce even today.  When we do not allow a grief process to unfold, emotions may remain stuck and can cause problems and hindrances to our lives.  Allowing the grieving process, and incorporating recovery tools into the grief process, promotes healing, transformation, and impact!  In this episode, Ancy discusses 1. Types of loss that might have an impact on you (loss is not always a loved one passing away) 2. An emotion, that when processed, can promote healing and 3. One endeavor that might help you, and benefit those around you as you process your loss. You are 15 minutes away from these insights! Listen in to find out more…

Self-care sometimes gets a bad reputation.  There are myths that self-care is costly, inconvenient, or time consuming.  In this podcast episode, Ancy introduces you to a simple self-care practice that you can squeeze into even the busiest day.  It doesn’t take much time at all and has benefits for your mind, body and brain ! As you practice this, it becomes part of your day, and can promote resilience.  This technique is called “savoring”. It is an aspect of mindfulness that allows you to take in all aspects of a good experience and lights up the reward centers of your brain, making you feel good for longer. How it differs from traditional mindfulness practices is that you can savor a past, present, or future moment.  This allows you to retrieve the good whenever you want it, or need it. Give it a try, practice it regularly, and see how it could improve your day, your week, and eventually your life! 

In today’s fast-paced world, we often feel pressure to constantly be productive and “on the go.”  However, taking time to pause and reflect is crucial for our mental and emotional well-being. 

Our last episode for season 2 was in July of 2021.  We thought we would relaunch by September of 2021.   Together, Ancy and Dr. Cindy, will discuss the benefits of taking a pause, including increased creativity, improved focus, and reduced stress.  We’ll also explore some practical ways to incorporate pausing into your daily routine.  We’ll also address some of the common barriers to pausing, such as feeling guilty or feeling like you’re falling behind. We’ll offer a journal prompt for addressing the obstacles to pausing,  so that you can give yourself permission to pause without feeling guilty or anxious. 

Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent juggling multiple responsibilities, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, this episode will provide you with the tools and inspiration to give yourself permission to pause and prioritize your well-being.

Do you want better answers? Well then ask better questions! If you listened to Season 1 of Velocity Visions Inc.’s podcast you learned the importance and influence of your self-talk.  You learned how to watch the language and commentary that runs through your head and how to steer it in a better direction. What people often ignore are the questions that they ask themselves in the midst of this running self-talk.  If you are human, you have likely asked yourself unhelpful questions that make you feel worse when you receive the answer.  Our brains are powerful. When we ask ourselves questions, our brains work hard on finding the answers.  Phrasing the questions we ask ourselves in a more mindful way,  will help us generate thoughts and ideas that will be more in line with what we want.  So here’s a question, wouldn’t receiving more helpful answers that could unlock more powerful parts of you be worth 15 minutes of your time? Yes? Then please listen.

Self-care takes practice and it often doesn’t come easily to most.  However, the investment of self-care has reaped some great benefits for those that commit to it.  It is even more challenging to practice self-care when you are a recipient of biased words, actions, or experiences.  These are probably some of the toughest conditions to engage in self-care, but some of the most necessary to preserve well-being.  In this episode, Ancy identifies some of the sneaky covert ways bias can affect your emotional state and how to maintain self-care in those moments. Healing from experiences of bias, can help you not only be resilient, but can give you the strength to help others. Now that is a win/win!
