The Embodied Jewish Woman with Rena Reiser

We don't always want to face our challenging thoughts and feelings.

It's much easier to ignore them? Right?

Well it's worked until now. Or has it?

In this week's episode we'll explore:

• Where do challenging thoughts and feelings go when we ignore them?
• Does bringing awareness to our problems cause them to get worse?
• What actually happens when we ignore our problems?
• What alternative ways can we deal with them - that may be more effective?

We're led to believe that success comes to the person with the most willpower.

• "I'd be so healthy if only I had willpower"
• "I'd be so fit if only I had willpower"
• "I'd be so patient if only I had willpower"

Right? Wrong?

So if willpower won't give me the results that I want - what will?

In this podcast episode we'll explore:

• If willpower isn't the X factor what is the secret to success?
• What's a crucial way to reach the results you want?
• How does out intuition come into all of this?
• What are the 5 steps to regulation and what happens when we use them?

Food. Food plans. Argh.

Why does food have to be sooooo all-encompassing and stressful?

I know - I've been there.

But why is it like that?

There must be an easier way.

In this episode we'll answer:

• What is easier than a food plan?
• What are the basic building blocks to self care?
• What our parents didn't teach us and what we need to learn ourselves?
• How does reparenting impact our relationship with food? Or loved ones?

One of these things just doesn't belong... Or does it?

Listen in to this week's episode where I discuss:

• What self-care really means
• How to end arguments
• What to do when you have no time for self-care
• Is shame a Jewish value?

This episode is sponsored by my upcoming compassion workshop, which starts tomorrow! It's not too late to join. Learn more about it and register at www.renareiser.com/compassion.

We're taught that a core Jewish value is to keep going, keep trying...and push with all you've got.

Push push push at all costs…

• But is that really the most effective way?
• How does that fit in with the value of self-care?
• What about slowing down and taking time for yourself? Is that anti-Jewish?
• Is there value in knowing how to say "no" to things that tax you?

We'll explore these questions and more in the latest podcast episode.

When you experience an "out-of-place" emotion, do you:

1) Tell yourself to "toughen up" and just "keep marching on"?

Or

2) Embrace each emotion with gentle compassionate listening and curiosity?

Hmmm.

Most of us will instinctively respond like number 1:

Why is that?

• When did we become so tough on ourselves?
• How can we get out of this survival mode and start to create,connect and thrive?
• What if the compassionate mode isn't so far beyond us?
• What if you could access it with a little guidance

Tune into this weeks podcast to find answers to these questions and...experience a practical guided compassion exercise.

We've all met Debbie Downer.

That ever-present-inner voice that always has something negative to say.

She:

Second guesses our decisions.

Criticizes our parenting (and our husbands).

And predicts the worst of our financial situation...

With her discouraging words - she really puts a downer on life.

So what can we do with Debbie Downer?

How can we make her our friend not our enemy - and what might happen when we do that?

How can we gently stop her from getting in our way?

What is the role of compassion in dealing with dear Debbie?

Why is this the perfect time of year to understand compassion?

How are we used to tackling the inner critic and what's a more effective way ?
