The Golden Rule of Habit Change

This episode is a continuation from Episode 19- Men are like Sugar.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND  "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg.

There are some parallels with my sugar habit... and my relationship habits. 

Let's take a look at that.

It's amazing- you realize that everything's okay when you just drop the story line. 

Learn how to practice "mindfully rushing!" and being tired without being moody. 

Here's a link to my featured Shavasana meditation on Insight Timer! Yay! :D

A few things I mentioned in today's episode- 

Will it work out with this person I'm seeing?  If I leave this job, will I be able to find something else that's good for me?  If I make this investment, will it be successful? 

Someone once told me, "you're looking for a guarantee, Kerry.  And there are no guarantees in life."

But she was wrong.... there is one guarantee. 

How does it affect you?

Heads up, this is an uncomfortable episode.  This content is not intended as mental health advice as I am not a mental health professional. These are simply my own personal observations and personal examples of the effects failure can have on us if not acknowledged.

How you might unknowingly be feeding feelings of failure, shame, and guilt.  The path to releasing them might be the one you're avoiding taking. 

How do we practice loving and accepting our bodies when we've spent our whole lives criticizing it? 

I'm in the learning process and I'd like some pointers. How do you practice body positivity? 

Someone you love and respect and value and trust hurts you.

Watch as the mind changes the story of this person. Be aware of how this new perception affects your peace.  Can you let it go and come back to what's real in this moment? If not, you might find that "someday all them bags gon get in your way." 

Gossip... why we do that fo'?!

I've been observing myself in a new work environment. I started to reflect on our culture of gossip- what's so enticing about it? What's happening internally when we're gossiping. 

I share my thoughts with you in a very gossipy-opinion-type-o-way in Episode 11. 

Honorable book mention this episode goes out to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
