The Breakthrough Podcast

If we could improve ourselves by 1% a day that is some huge progress over a year. I know for myself I have areas that need improvement and specifically in my habits. The biggest habit I struggled adding in was flossing my teeth, but after learning about habit stacking, I've been successfully flossing everyday for over a year now.

Constant chapped lips, cracked heels, dry palms. Ya.... winter months literally suck the water right out of our pores. But we can successfully replenish our skin in the ways our own individual bodies need. Not all of us will have the same skin care routines, but I want to share some important measures I am taking to help my skin through the winter months. & although I'm a newbie of taking on a skin care routine, I realized very quickly how beneficial it is to take care of my skin even when I am tired!

Waking up, hitting the floor in panic, rushing around to get ready and feeling like the day is already starting off on the wrong foot is no way to live day in and day out. That will cause our bodies to be under constant pressure and stress. I think it is no secret that stress is a common emotion most of us experience. But I don't think it is something we really have to carry around everyday all day. We don't always notice the signs & symptoms our body gives us to signal we are stressed out, but we can learn about the ways our body expresses it is stressed. Everyone is unique so I highly encourage you to take some time to learn how your body responds to stress. I hope you enjoyed this episode and thank you for tuning in!

WHY AM I SOOO TIRED? Have you ever crawled back into bed after a long sleep and asked yourself, what is going on with me? Our bodies give us signs and symptoms to communicate when something is off. But sometimes we can miss those signs and symptoms, I know I sure have! I hope this episode will inspire you to never give up on searching for the answers you need to feel your best!

Are you READY to start living a healthy lifestyle? Have you put a date on when you'll start and you are secretly dreading starting because you haven't done much in a while...I have totally been there friend! In fact until this year I would always sit down and write out my "New Years Goal" but I think what's really important is thinking about the things you'd like to accomplish in a year, five years and then make a plan to start NOW to move the needle forward. Over the past few years I've made new goals before the new year; moving forward I am going to be evaluating my progress in certain areas of my life where I'd like to make progress and adjust when I need to verse waiting for the New Year to adjust and hit a goal. Here are a few ways I plan to do this.

1. Each week (usually Sunday) I will go over how my previous week went, what goals did I set out for that week, where could I improve for the following week. And one of the most important things is celebrate the progress I did make!

2. Anytime I have a setback, I am going to allow myself to feel the feels, but within a couple of hours or no more than a day to feel whatever I need to and then I am going to pick myself up, dust myself off, learn from the curve ball and keep moving forward.

3. I'm going to fill my cup up first. I never really understood what this meant until I began doing the things I truly enjoy and found fulfillment with my routine and life. But when I start my day with doing the things I really enjoy I am that much more of a joyful human.

By starting now we are less likely to train ourselves to "wait" for that right time to start that thing on our heart. By getting into the mentality of doing it now, you'll feel so much more momentum, accomplishment, joy and let's me honest who doesn't want to feel that amazing!? So stop saying tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. That thing you said you wanted JUST FREAKING DO IT FRIEND!!!!

I have been feeling sooo dang lazy! Have you ever said that to yourself after spending an entire day feeling so ill on the couch? SOOO many of us get sick and right away expect ourselves to bounce back capable of doing what we normally can but with a unwell mind or body. Alot of the time we get stuck in society's expectations of doing it all or staying "busy" and I think far too often we are not giving ourselves the time to allow ourselves to heal. And worse... along the way we are guilting ourselves because we haven't been productive. Connect with me!

Have you ever compared yourself to someone else's appearance? Maybe been made fun of because you appeared a certain way, felt left out because didn't wear a certain brand of clothing or just had a overall different body type? I think most of us have felt different then someone else before. It's natural for our minds to ask the question, why don't we look like him or her? I truly believe society and social media has created an expectation of everyone looking a certain way. But I want to help you break free of body image expectations. Here are a few ways I have worked through my own body image issues. #1 - Remember 99% of the time what we worry about isn't actually something that will happen. So for example if you worry about not looking a certain way your friends won't accept you. This is a lie our minds tell ourselves so we try and fit in. But in reality I think if we showed up as we feel our most comfortable selves our true loved ones will accept us as we are. So I encourage to stop worrying about what others think and start stepping into your power of who you were made to be! #2 - You are not given vision in your life and then to go out and live it by other people's expectations. Even if that is around your body! I can't even express how crazy it is that we live our lives based around what other people think or expect from us. We weren't given this gut feeling or vision in our lives to just be puppets. We need to put other people's ideas of us aside and start showing up in our lives each day with doing the things we want, that bring us joy. Not live life the way others think we should based on how we appear. So stop working at a job you don't like just because you make xyz and you need that money to wear certain brands of cloths or to pay an expensive trainer to look a certain way. If you are living a certain way that isn't bringing you a ton of joy - then friend that isn't living and you aren't doing yourself any favors. Stop shaming yourself for wanting something different or worrying about what others will think of you for living life the way you want! The point is everyone is different. Everyone will look different, everyone has different bodies, everyone has different roles in this universe. We all need different bodies. #3 - Along the way there are going to be hard conversations around your body, people who are going to get under your skin, comments that are hurtful, society pushing certain image agenda's. But we were given the gift of learning & evolving. We have the ability to recognize when information is just that and we can take it if it serves us or leave it if it doesn't. We can be respectful and kind but we no longer need to hold onto & live by other people's expectations PERIOD. So I say ditch the expectations of others and start living in your truth. Living the way that you feel most comfortable and remind yourself you are beautifully & uniquely made! WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

Have you ever looked in the mirror & immediately all the negative thoughts came rolling in? If I am being honest until my later 20's I struggled with negative self talk about my body. It's so easy to talk harmfully to ourselves because society makes us believe our bodies need to appear a certain way. And when we don't see that reflecting back at ourselves we can begin to wonder what is "wrong" with me that I can't look like her or him. But in reality we are perfectly made in God's image. And yes we can improve our bodies but that doesn't mean we get to talk down to ourselves, make ourselves feel worthless or not beautiful. We can start changing the way we think about our bodies and how we talk to them by being self aware how we are talking to ourselves but also by asking ourselves some really helpful questions. 1. Is what I'm saying to myself true? 2. What am I grateful for that I can physically do? 3. Now that I know what I want to improve what can I do to improve it? What is one step I can take now? 1 Corinthians 6:19 "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, who you have from God? You are not your own We have this one body, we need to take care of it and that also means with our mindset around our bodies. I hope you can feel hopeful that you can begin to love yourself fully! These little changes take time and just know you can do this! WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!
