Stop Overthinking

What does it really mean to feel your feelings? What happens to your emotions if they aren't fully processed and they remain stuck in your body?

In this episode I talk with Jill Howell, a somatic practitioner and emotional health coach. While we both coach on feelings, we go about it differently. Listen as Jill and I talk about how stored emotions may result in a dysregulated nervous system, what that means, and how to release some of the stored emotions-- even from your childhood. Jill even leads me through a release session.

Jill Marie Howell is an emotional health coach and a somatic trauma recovery practitioner who has overcome complex ptsd and chronic pain. She guides women to break their survival stress cycle and rewire their nervous systems for peace using integrative mind-body healing modalities. She equips women to feel safe + secure within and create a life of peace + joy as they dance in the mess of living as a human in a hurting world!

When other people need to change...

What do you do when other people need to change- but they aren't doing it?

You can:

-get angry and yell at them

-nag and whine

-talk about them to other people

-blame them for your feelings

OR you can use the control and influence you do have for a more productive, long term resolution.

Not all pain is processed and felt the same.

Pain is a negative emotion we want to be able to feel. It's part of the spectrum of human experiences.  Feeling pain honors us and others. It is the opposite of love, belonging, connection, and acceptance, which we also want to feel and so there is a balance.

However, suffering is something we create with anger, shame, resistance, self loathing.  Other negative emotions that stem from thoughts or beliefs that you or someone else or reality is bad, wrong and shouldnt be the way it is.

Of course, how you think of the circumstances and events and people in your life is going to influence whether you feel the pain cleanly or if you are adding layers of suffering (dirty pain).

Even if you aren't currently experiencing pain or grief, listen in for future reference or to better understand people in your life.

We make thousands of decisions every single day. Some are more important, some are made with lots of forethought, others are more reactionary... or even emotional.

It's not a bad thing to have emotions factor into your decison making-- but do you even realize you are making an emotional decision? And, which emotion is guiding you?

For many women- decisions are made based on whether or not they feel guilty for doing or not doing the thing. Decisons are made based on not wanting to be a bad person or disappointing others.

Let's talk about when guilt and shame are driving your decision making process and what you can do about recalibrating your emotional compass.

It's easy to get sucked into a lacking mindset. Sneaky thoughts like, "If I just..." or "If only... then I could be happy" have ripple effects in your life and reduce your joy and ability to live in the present moment.

While this episode pertains to all-- it's a must listen for high achievers and recovering perfectionists who minimize their achievements and are constantly thinking "it could be better."
