Therapy with Bria

"Just be yourself" is cliché AF - so, how do we actually foster trust within ourselves? How do we approach the world with fearlessness? How do we hone in on our gifts? How to we stop faking it and pretending? How do we slow down from the doing and just start being?

In this episode I jammed on:

• Building self-trust
• Being the expert of your life
• Shifting old narratives, patterns, and behaviours

YOUR HARD WORK WILL ALWAYS PAY OFF!!! Do you ever feel like you're continuously pouring into something and not seeing any direct results. Take inventory of your life - where have you invested in to something and you did not see the pay off for a little while? - Use example from your own life as proof that it's possible! Nature flourishes when the necessary conditions and causes are in effect; accumulation of small habits and trials will eventually lead to a tipping point; nourishment, energy, focus, time, understanding, commitment, consistency, and diligence are required in order for results to manifest. 

In this episode I jammed on:

• Calming your nervous system
• An update on my healing journey
• Building self-trust
• Staying focus and moving forward when it seems like life isn't giving you that instant gratification dopamine hit

In today's episode I give you the full breakdown of what happens when we REACT and get into a heightened emotional state. It can be so challenging to come down from this and to not let it take over the rest of your day. I know that you'll feel empowered after this episode to know that you have the skills and the abilities to feel your emotions, process them, and make a plan to continue moving forward rather than being pulled back into habits and behaviours that are no longer serving you. Don't let 1 thing keep you stuck and create a bad mood, a bad day, bad interactions AND at the same time, don't just brush things off and ignore your emotions; it's time to find a balance.

In today's episode  I jammed on:

• How to respond vs. react
• Emotional refractory period
• Cognitive rehearsal 
• Building yourself to move forward vs. "falling behind"
• How to move past getting stuck in old patterns and behaviours
