Transformations with Jayne

A lot can happen in a year and 2020 has blown it out of the water for changing the way we live and what is "true".

In this episode I talk about:

- Things we've learned during our first year in Sweden

- How what is "true" changes

- A short journaling exercise

I'd love to hear your discoveries from your journaling. What did you find that is now true that wasn't true a year ago?

**These are ideas and inspiration that might help you to find a way to make your own situation more enjoyable, whatever it may be, and wherever in the world you may be. My wish is for you to find more peace and calm during these times so please make your own decisions based on what is happening where you are. Please be safe in whatever you choose to do.**

This week I am continuing my solo episodes that focus on small tweaks that can make a real difference to us as we continue to try to find our way forward, living with COVID-19. 

In this episode I talk about connection:

The importance of in-person connection

How online is not a replacement

How to do a quick connection audit to see where you are missing/overloading connection

Some ideas I have used to create space when I was overloaded (this is for the introverts)

We are all living with a level of uncertainty that reaches far and wide. How is it going for you? Since the start of 2020, the Covid Pandemic has been on everyone’s minds. In March, things got real for many more of us. As I write this it is now September and it doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon, and winter is on the way in the Northern Hemisphere and so are rumours and fears of a second wave.

If 2020 has taught me anything, it’s that I have to get better with living with uncertainty. Not just on the level of “What’s for dinner?”.

In today's episode, I'm talking about:

An example from my own life overcoming huge levels of uncertainty

My top practical tips for how we can feel better right now

Have you noticed that you've put on weight during corona? 

Perhaps your body is not in the condition it was before? 

Maybe you are using more caffeine, alcohol, television to get you through the day?  

I found myself raising my hand to all of the above!!   It's hard not to immediately go down the path of "Bad girl!", "You have no self control!" the full range of nastiness we direct at ourselves regularly.   But what if you could learn one new thing about yourself or remind yourself about one thing that you might have forgotten?  That's what I'm talking about in today's episode.

What can we do with this thing that is called "The Past". Should we forget it? Move on and don't look back? 

Sometimes I think so, other times I don't. 

In this episode I cover:

- Some of the things that are useful to take with you from the past

- A short exercise for finding the positive themes of your life

- How "should" interfere with our real purpose

By connecting the dots, we can see where we might go if we give up on those "should" things. 

I'd love to hear from you if you've found a new "connect the dots" that helps you with your future direction! 

Hello!!!

This week's episode title speaks for itself: What's one thing that would improve your life?

It might be an easy to answer question or not! 

I talk about:

- how we often don't notice areas for improvement

- how we create barriers to keep doing what we've always done

- ideas on ways you could improve your life by not doing something

- how I've overcome my self inflicted barriers around grocery shopping!

Small incremental changes add up to lots! I can't wait to see what I can achieve with the extra 2-3 hours of time I'm not wasting at the grocery store!! 

This week I'm interviewing one of my wonderful clients: Minori Hanashima.

Minori is an account manager and translator in the PR industry in Tokyo and a long time fan of the Transformations with Jayne Podcast!

I love having people on the podcast who have been a listener and now are a contributor!

We talk about:

How she built a network around her interest in translating.

Her transformation from stressed sick to happy and satisfied with her life

The reason behind her previous lack of confidence  and how she is now

The change in her thinking habits that decreased her stress levels

Her guiding word for the year and why she prefers that over goals

There is so much value in listening to someone who is actually going through their transformation, I hope you will find some great inspiration in her story.
