My intentional questions: "How is this working in my favor?" and "What good can come from this?"

Have you ever thought about the amount of times in a day you ask yourself questions?  Have you ever considered that the answers to the questions you ask yourself are the reason you feel a certain way or do a certain thing?  They are as important as your thoughts in the scheme of how you feel day to day. So the questions like "What is WRONG with me?" or "Why do I keep doing that?" Those questions get answered by your mind and the answers are not moving us forward. I was hit with this reality this week.  Check out Episode 517 on how to be aware of these subtle questions and what to do about them! I love you guys!

Do you struggle to say "no"? Join me as I explore the emotional tug-of-war between guilt and personal boundaries. I've learned along the way that no matter how much I feel like they are, other people's feelings are not my responsibility and they aren't yours either! On the flip side though, you are completely responsible for your own feelings...so heads up...you may feel offended and that's ok. (even though that gives me anxiety just saying it..lol)

I love you guys!
