The Davina Podcast

People are part of our life...like it or not. Sometimes those people are hard to like or frustrate us.

These types of relationships are circumstances over which we sometimes feel as though we fall victim or have no control over.

We think they are happening to us.

Often, it's a matter of taking control of our own thoughts and then changing them.

It doesn't typically doesn't change our circumstance but it does change our perspective...

Which can change everything within our own world.

What to do if you don't like someone or you are frustrated with someone is in this episode.

For so long as an entrepreneur I've been consumed with what clients think, it's helpful as a business person but not so helpful when it comes to your own life.

Understanding who I am, who I'm meant to be changes the way I approach everything in my life.

It can change the way you approach everything in your life, too.

I'm sharing my story and the stories of people from the scriptures.

You have a spark, let it burn and roar into a fire by seeing the truth of who you are.

Ask and pray to see that truth and then begin taking little steps to close the gap between where you are now and where you're meant to be.

I was frustrated with someone who I thought was under-appreciating me.

The very surprising inspiration I got was to write them a thank you note.

This is the quick story of what happened, why I didn't immediately write the thank you note...

And how the simple act of gratitude can boost your happiness by 25%!

For years, I thought we were getting past our money struggles. We would get a loan or figure out some crazy way to make ends meet.

It seemed like we would be delivered from our problems.

But the relief was only temporary.

We would do the safe thing to keep us right where we had always been.

Finally, we realized that all the success we were searching for financially was outside our comfort zone. A place we thought we had ventured because money seemed so hard.

Really though, having money issues is what we know...what we are used to.

Allowing ourselves to be stretched, taking responsibility for everything in our lives more fully when it came to finances.

We put all of the excuses we had been making on the altar, asked for forgiveness, and then said, Bring it on! We will do whatever it takes! No matter how painful or outside our comfort zone, we are all in.

Do you have something you've been struggling with? Go all in, get outside your comfort zone, give up your excuses for why you haven't made more progress.

This is your life. What story do you want to be telling about who you are?

The distractions, enticements, email, texts, Oh MY!

There are so many things vying for our attention everyday. The swirl of things around us can make if very difficult to get the one thing done we want to get done in a day.

Often, we aren't even clear about what the one thing is we want to accomplish.

When you think about your head hitting the pillow tonight, what is the one thing you hope you'll have accomplished?

Make that the thing you do first today. Stay with it, stick with it, until it's completed.

Don't give up. I know you can do it!

One decision changed my life. It made me stop being a child in multiple areas...my weight, money, blaming others, what I ate, exercising, my relationship with God.

I stopped being an emotional child and started becoming more of an emotional adult.

It meant taking responsibility for everything in my life.

What does this mean for you? What does your life look like right now? Are you a toddler or a grown up? Are you willing to be honest with yourself in the answer to those questions?

If you are, you can make a decision that will change your life.

So often, we believe feelings are the beginning. They are not the beginning.

They are a guide, a light that gets shed on the truth of our thoughts.

Feelings can show us patterns.

They are great guide maps.

I'll tell you a very recent story in today's episode when my feelings tried to take me down in one fell swoop for the day...

And how I responded.

If you've experienced the downward spiral of thinking negatively about yourself, you'll want to check out this episode.

Doing what matters everyday can be challenging.

It's tempting to let every other thing that doesn't really matter, matter more than the thing that really matters.

That's a tongue twister. I dare you to say that ten times fast.

Really, though...showing up is a big deal.

It's the way you live your truest self.

Doing the most important stuff everyday, the things you know you're meant to do, called to do...your brain tries to talk you out of some of that scary stuff.

Don't let that happen. Show up and do what you're meant to do today.

Don't wait. Don't put it off.

You can do it.

Have you had a time where you've second guessed yourself? Tried to make a big decision but couldn't? Wanted to feel better and make the little black cloud hanging over you go away?

I totally understand. I've been there. Thoughts can seem like they are on an endless loop in your brain and feelings can sometimes feel very heavy.

There is hope, though!

I'm sharing the three ways I work through those challenges and come out on the other side filled with hope and possibility.

The more I practice using these tools, the quicker I get at becoming aware of my thoughts. I no longer go weeks feeling bummed out. I feel more hope and possibility more often.

The same can happen for you!
