The Progress Project

Happy Thanksgiving! This week we wanted to share a short and sweet episode on how we can choose to be fully present, especially with our loved ones over the holiday season.

We chatted about:

1. Our new favorite definition of present-moment living: Being Available
2. Asking ourselves WHY we want to be fully present and what we'll gain from making that effort
3. How we can remind ourselves in very simple ways to stay in the moment

"Being present is actually so much simpler than we think. Just be there. Be happy with the people you love. Choosing to be fully present is just that: a choice."

With the holidays coming up, it seemed like a good time for a little conversation about loving difficult family members because don't we all deal with this from time to time! It's just the nature of family life to have some conflict and disagreements, but there's a lot we can do to minimize the drama and approach it from the perspective of the person we truly want to be.

In this episode we cover:

• How we can handle the problems that often arise with family members and how we can be our best selves in those situations
• What to do when loved ones create drama

How often have you caught yourself saying, "I'll just be happy when _______"?? We all find ourselves believing that if only our circumstances were different that we would be happy. But it's that very sense of discontent and frustration that prevents us from feeling how we want!

In this episode, we're talking about how to find lasting contentment despite circumstances. We share the ways we each find this feeling, including how Kristin found it while experiencing infertility.

This episode is perfect for anyone feeling frustrated with life in any way: infertility, wanting to get married, wishing for a better job, wanting more money, or waiting for just about anything.
