Try Again Podcast

In this episode, I talk how to access your freedom to express. Shame has us believing they we don’t get to say the thing, but the thing is us. What does it look like to embrace ourselves so we can express ourselves freely? Let’s discuss in today’s episode.

Many times when we are trying to make a habit upgrade, we try to do it by just forcing the issue. We make a commitment to ourselves. “I’m going to workout 5 days a week” “I’m going to stop arguing with my dad about politics” “I’m going to make my bed every day” “I’m not going to drink anymore”. We maybe get hyped on tracking this thing that we want to do, building up a streak that we don’t want to break. Maybe we even go as far as telling other people about it to keep us accountable. But so often we are STILL not able to maintain these habit upgrades long term. We haven’t made it a lifestyle change so the habit is temporary, not permanent. If we want to make our habits stick, we need to dig into the beliefs that live underneath them. It’s likely that there are some shit beliefs happening beneath the surface that you are not yet aware of. Making a lifestyle change versus a temporary upgrade relies on you bringing these beliefs to the surface and changing them. Today we’re going to talk about how to do that.

PEACE comes from FULFILLMENT which comes from being AUTHENTIC which comes from understanding why you haven’t been authentic in the past which comes from knowing your STRESSORS. Peace is when we’re free from disturbance. As parents, there are A LOT of times when we are not free from disturbance. In fact it may seem that we’re in a constant state of disturbance. When we don’t have tools for what to do when we’re disturbed, that’s when we freak out and yell at the kid, or at our spouse, or our mom, or make that snotty remark to our friend, or be completely rude to a client. Today we’ll go into three tools to help us have less of those situations. Thanks so much for being here!

Each new chapter of life calls for us to be a different version of ourselves. When we resist change, we feel stuck. Today we’ll talk about how to flip the mindset around acceptance so we can find growth and peace.

When we feel vulnerable, we can reach for a fear based thought or a love based thought. When we reach for a fear based thought, we are trying to protect ourselves. This shows up in several different ways that we’ll talk about today. Thanks so much for being here!
