Today's themes: Disappointment, Doubt, Joy

Disappointment is how you learned to get the thing you wanted, but from an outside source - wanting love, approval, acceptance, etc

But as we grow and mature we notice, that we are the responsible party for those feelings and experiences. Doubt a result of looking outside of yourself. Joy is the natural state you experience when you truly know that you are the only one who ever gives you your love, appreciation and approval AND it's a delight to do so!

Today's themes: Safe, Your Opinion, Okay-ness

How can you truly feel safe? By reconnecting, again and again, to your own opinions and being in a place of okay-ness with what is already here in your life. Self Kindness is never about condoning another person's behavior, and it's always about getting still, being in this moment and connecting with your opinion as safe to act and live from!

Today's themes: Alone, Wisdom, Other People's Opinions

Feeling Alone can be based upon spending your energy thinking of what other's will think of you, their opinions. It can also come from a fear of being alone with your own thoughts, your own inner self talk, always needing/ wanting a distraction. The wisdom within you can help you hold the space and acceptance for getting to understand, that it's possible to be your own best company!

Today's themes: Self Attack, Anger & Peace

Self Attack is the way we were taught to create peace in our lives. If we "better" ourselves enough, then we'll be able to live a more peaceful existence. But, instead we create more things that we need to "take care of" and along the way Anger becomes the secondary motivator to get our shit together! Moving us farther from peace - this episode is about connecting to where and how PEACE truly is found in your life, right here, right now!

Okay, this episode might go a little out of the box for ya, but that's where the sufi poet Rumi referred to when he said, "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." That's where we're going in this episode. Beyond the regular conversation (or lack thereof) with resentment. (bit of heads up, there's a lot more cussing in this episode than normal, so please prepare accordingly)
