Positive affirmations can be a great tool to promote self-acceptance, but they can also create false expectations in our minds and turn into a double-edged sword. Instead, try to introduce a more neutral thought in your brain and notice the difference in how it feels. From there, it’ll be much easier to focus on the concrete effort you can do to improve and feel good about your progress. In this episode, I’ll walk you through my mindset on how to build confidence and make headway toward your goals with a healthy mindset.

Too often we fantasize about how things seemed to be better in the past: we had better fitness, better relationships, better work-life balance... But those times are gone. And that’s okay. You are probably a better version of yourself. But it’s time to stop daydreaming about the past and draft a plan to become your best self in the present. Join me in today’s episode to discover my 3-step framework to get closer to your goals and reinvent yourself.

Today’s topic on the Conquer Your Life Podcast is fear and how changing your reaction to fear can help you take back control over your life.

We identify what triggers our debilitating fears, our instinctive response to those triggers and the huge role our past experiences play in creating those fears.

Listen to this episode and learn to accept the old you and channel your energy to create a new fear-based response and a better version of yourself, free from all of your emotional shackles.

 

Time stamps:

 

00:59-Today’s topic: debilitating fear;

01:56- Real-life fears-what is the legacy you want to leave to your children?

04:35- Identify what triggers your fear and your body's response to those triggers;

07:14- Types of reactions to fear;

10:01- Re-wire your system- create new responses to fear and take control of your life;

 

 

Quotes:

 

“ (My mom) so feared screwing us up by yelling at us all the time, and actually, it’s a good thing, cause she had a lot of yelling and loudness in her life, growing up, and that was something that she wanted to change.”

 

“Judgement on others is another huge thing that we do when we fear things. Because we fear something on our own behalf, it’s an internal response to then blame somebody else or judge somebody else's life, because we don’t want to step into our own emotions.”

 

“Think about what your body does when you’re fearful. For example, I’ve worked with a lot of women who have a food-based fear. Literally, the thought of calories threatening their weight on the scale drove them to extreme training or the complete opposite, binge eating.”

 

“Do you run? Do you silence yourself? Are you aggressive and angry? Do you blame people when you are fearful? Do you drink? These are all valent things that people do when they’re fearful.”

in today’s episode of the Conquer Your Life Podcast we’re getting close and personal with Janelle in a conversation about the 3 steps that created magic in her marriage and how those same steps can help you transform your relationship.

We talk about the importance of communication, how to have a healthy and satisfying relationship with your partner (yes, we talk about ”sexy times” too!) and how knowing your role as a parent and partner can save you from a lot of unnecessary tension.

 

 

---TIMESTAMPS---

 

01:03- Getting personal- 3 steps to creating magic in your marriage (tried and tested)!

02:50- You’re a team! Stop complaining and do the necessary changes;

05:22- No.1: Communication- Don't expect your partner to be a mind reader! Learn to ask questions and express your emotions and your expectations as partners and parents.

13:41- No.2: Say yes to "sexy times"! Listen to your partner's needs and be creative (don’t let everything on him)!

16:13- No.3- Know your roles and don't get mad for things that are not your partner's responsibility;

19:57- Make sure you follow these guidelines and you’ll definitely see “the magic”.

 

 

---QUOTES---

 

“If you are not happy in your relationship, you need to change it. With anything in life, if you are not happy and you’re not seeing the result you want, then you need to not just complain and bitch about it, you actually need to take a step in the right direction.”

 

“When you’re in a marriage, it can not be all or nothing. Just like in life. It can not be one of you doing everything (...)It truly needs to be teamwork. You need to be thinking about your family as a team, and your kids should also be doing the same.”

 

“Creating a one-year plan, creating a three year-plan, a five-year plan, what are our six months goals, what are our financial goals as a family this year, like that’s all stuff that you should be discussing because that’s what is going to help you, meet THE GOAL!”

 

“Just like a workout! You would never leave a workout in a bad mood, you would never leave having sex on a bad note, right?! You’re always going to feel better, you’re never going to feel worse about having sex, let’s be honest!”

There are times in life when you need to stop, reflect on what’s working and what’s not, and course-correct. In the past few months, my family and I have been thinking long and hard about the things we value in life, and realized we had to make a few adjustments to live in more alignment and continue to evolve.
