Therapy with Bria

Chelsea and Lindsay share their stories in regard to body image, motivation, and FEAR - we dove into the fear around taking a break from movement, enjoying the foods that you love, and the fear around losing control of your health and fitness routine. The gals share some great tips on managing stress and anxiety and really share their light, fun, and laughter filled energy with us all!

In this episode, we jammed on:

• Practicing empathy for others - we never truly know what's going on internally for someone - even if we are close with the other person
• How to stay on track with your health goals while giving yourself space for balance and enjoyment over weekends and holidays
• Different ways to practice meditation - are you someone who finds stillness more useful? OR do you need movement to feel more connected?
• What are your tight hips trying to tell you!?
• What is your neck tension trying to communicate to you!?

In today's episode I give 3 actionable items that you can implement RIGHT NOW in order to work toward shifting out of a negative mood during the day. I'm all for feeling your feelings and processing your emotions in a healthy and productive way - but sometimes, when we get in a funk, this creates a domino effect and has an impact on everything that we do, everywhere we go, and everyone else that we interact with. It is so important to take care of yourself and your mental health so that you can choose how you show up in the world and feeling empowered in doing so.

Shift out of rigidity and into flexibility with this one question. Create space for yourself and what you need in any given moment. Your needs matter.

• Routine and structure with boundaries and flexibility
• How to navigate your happiness and wellbeing even through tasks and responsibilities that you don't enjoy

Today's episode was inspired by a walk that I took when I realized that my mind had been in so many different places EXCEPT for in the present moment on my walk. You deserve time to yourself, you deserve to incorporate things into your life that bring you joy, you deserve to be more than just a vessel of productivity and task completion. 

In this solo episode I jammed on:

• How to reel in your mind to be present where your feet are
• How to prioritize things that you enjoy in your life
• How to break free of the "dinner before dessert" or "work hard, play hard" mentality
• How to stop filling every empty moment in your calendar with meaningless & mundane tasks

"I am not what I think I am, I am not what you think I am, I am what I think you think I am." This quote from Charles Cooley has been one of my favourites since I was a kid - I've always found it fascinating, this notion of 1) Our varying degrees of perspective, and 2) How we impose our thoughts, feelings, and emotions onto others and them apply them to ourselves.

This is definitely one of my favourite solo episodes and I had a lot of fun recording and talking about this. In this episode I jammed on:

• Deferring responsibility/blaming others
• How to foster relationships that flourish
• Observation, mindfulness, and perspective
• Crafting responses over reactions
