Welcome to Podmas! Every day leading up to Christmas I will be posting short and sweet podcast episodes that will help you manage your thoughts, process your emotions, and lay a solid foundation for an enjoyable holiday season.
Day 4 exercise: Think about your thought bruise from yesterday and try to wiggle it a little. Can you see that this thought is optional? What are some other thoughts you could be thinking? Remember, this isn't a positivity exercise. It's an exercise in choosing thoughts that serve you rather than pointless thoughts that just cause you meaningless pain.
See you back here tomorrow!

Welcome to Podmas! Every day leading up to Christmas I will be posting short and sweet podcast episodes that will help you manage your thoughts, process your emotions, and lay a solid foundation for an enjoyable holiday season.
Day 3 exercise: Grab a pen and paper and set a timer for 5-10 minutes. Pick a topic for your thought download and then start writing down everything that comes to mind about that topic. What are you thinking? Why is it a problem? What are you making it mean? Then try to identify the most painful thought -- your "thought bruise". PS. It might be disguised as a very pretty-sounding thought.

Welcome to Podmas! Every day leading up to Christmas I will be posting short and sweet podcast episodes that will help you manage your thoughts, process your emotions, and lay a solid foundation for an enjoyable holiday season.
Day 2 exercise: Acknowledge and hold space for the fact that there are no past or future feelings. All emotions are experienced in the present moment, even if we're having thoughts about the future or the past. How does that apply to your relationship?

If we could only get rid of all other women in the world, our relationships would be super lovely, right? We would have no problems whatsoever and everything would be rainbows and daisies. Or that's at least what a lot of us think.
But here's the good news: We don't have to get rid of half of the world's population in order to have the relationships we want. We just need to tweak the way we view and think about other girls, our partners, and ourselves. Tune in to this week's episode to learn how I did it for myself!

How many times have you asked yourself, your partner, your friends, or your mom if you're overreacting? It's such a common question we ask to validate how we feel and how we're reacting to a situation in our relationship.
The problem is that this question is not very relevant. It's a low-quality question to ask because the answer doesn't provide you with anything useful. Tune into this episode to find out why and what question to ask instead!

We all have a habit of focusing more on the worst-case scenario than the best-case scenario. This is just normal human behavior. But when the worst that can happen starts taking over your relationship and you spend most of your time freaked out and trying to prevent it... that never turns out well for anyone.
In this week's episode, I talk about the worst that can happen, what it actually is, how to make peace with it, and how to move forward.
