This Free Spirit

Don't you? 

The question isn't, why are we sometimes so sad and anxious and mad and scared and worried and livid and angry and numb, the question is, why should we not be?

These are my observations about human beings. We are often either experiencing life fires raging through our souls...or we are bored and complacent sitting in the green grass of abundance. Either way, we must surf this tension and make meaningful what already is.

Hi there, remember me? I thought it was time to update the podcast and let you all know where I've been and why I've been absent. First of all, let me thank you for downloading this podcast now 11'239 times! I don't think either Stephanie or I thought it was going to have such an impact and I am really glad that you have found it to be helpful!

In this episode, I am giving you a behind the scenes look at how I DIY therapy on myself. I have properly analyzed and thoroughly examined my absence, so I am giving you all of those details here.

Among other things, I talk about the Four Expectations. Take a look at the research by Gretchen Rubin on the topic to learn more.

I believe that truth should equal trust, not consistency. I won't be able to be consistent. But I will try to always tell you the truth and give things to you straight.

If you want to follow along with me as I write and share my thoughts/ideas/work, the best way to stay in touch with me is to 1. stay subscribed to the podcast, I will be back, albeit it, inconsistently! and 2.  subscribe to my journal. Let's keep our relationship going!

Journal — Amy Scott (amyscottmindbody.com)

I've got some tough news for you...self-doubt is here to stay.  All people have insecurities! Let's show up anyway and bring your self-doubt with you!

In this episode, I cover my own self-doubt, how I work through it, and why I push through with my self-doubt alongside me. I discuss where self-doubt comes from and how cultural norms influence it. 

Sorry for the lack of music in this one, it's just this one episode, I promise, the sweet tunes of Ian Ferguson will be back next episode. Error in production. Imperfections...I'm flowing with it, gotta show up anyway!

How many times have you wondered about a trait that you have, or a way that you have reacted to life and thought...is this just me, and how I am, or is this my trauma and how it has affected me?

In this episode, I am answering this question:  What is you and just how you are, and what is your trauma and how it has shaped you?

I talk about the flowing self of you, erupting and evaporating through time, self-ing.
I talk about trauma and PTSD and the way that it can be described as it pertains to the three E's (event, experience, effects).
I talk about trauma as a thread pulsing through our experience.
And I share my own personal thread and how it showed up for me recently at a dinner party.
I hope you enjoy this episode!

Do you experience chronic feelings of emptiness? Or do you ever get caught inside a storm of self-doubt? In this episode Amy takes the mic and reads an essay she recently wrote about some cows and coyotes outside of Victor, Colorado. From there, she explores the spiritual practice of “living inside out.”

“You must meet your inner world with your outer experience or existence will crush you.” Mark Nepo

Amy explores how our life experiences push us to step back again and again, covering ourselves from the outer world. We often become stuck hiding our selves from others. What does this cost us? And, what are those moments where life comes in, forcing you to become life embodied, inside out? 

What if each of us owns the truth; this is who I am, this is what I fear, and this is what I need. Wouldn’t that be a good world?

And what about Joy? Where is that experience? And where is it hiding? All of this in more in this week’s episode of Spiritual Therapy with Amy.

In this episode, Stephanie shares thoughts on one of her favorite topics, how behavior change really works. It can be endlessly frustrating to regularly set goals, and then find ourselves returning to old behaviors again and again. Once you understand how the brain works, it starts to become much easier to see change taking hold in your life. 

It's not impossible to finally stick to a plan and achieve our goals, it's that the strategies we rely on often set us up for failure or disappointment. With the right tools and information, the path to long term behavior change can be a fun, doable, and sustainable process.
