Welcome back to another audio blog by Your Aha! Life. This time I'm delving into the topic of Identifying Emotional Triggers and Building Resilience with Self-Regulation.

For short, it's about learning to manage our emotions so that we can boost our resilience and act in ways that are aligned with our values and how we want to show up in the world. I hope you enjoy it.

Description: Emotional triggers are everywhere - during a disagreement with a loved one, the moment you’re cut off in traffic, or even while scrolling through social media. These moments test us, but with self-regulation, you have the power to navigate these challenges. It’s a skill that takes practice and patience, but mastering it can significantly enhance your happiness and wellbeing. Let’s dive into how to turn these triggers in opportunities for growing a positive mindset and building personal resilience - two components of the Aha! Life. 

In the article I cited a research-based article, What is Self-Regulation? by Courtney E. Ackerman, MA for PositivePsychology.com. Click here to read it and learn more.

Wishing you more joy, more purpose, and more fulfillment.

Today, I'm presenting an audioblog about how our social circles profoundly impact us, often more than we realize. We tend to adopt the behaviors, mannerisms, language, and emotions of the people we spend the most time with. It's essential to become more aware of how our associations affect us positively or negatively, so we can strengthen our connections with those who inspire and support us and either improve or let go of those relationships that don't.

When you finish reading the blog, check out the Your Aha! Life Journey Accelerator I created as a complement: The Company You Keep: Social Circle Inventory. You can complete four exercises to get a clearer sense of just how impactful your current social circle is in your life and tips on building better associations.

Thanks for listening to the audioblog. Please send your questions or feedback. If you love it, give this audioblog a stellar rating, and share it with your friends. I'll be back soon with another audioblog.

Discover, Connect, & Love: The Path to True Self-Care. Listen In. I'm excited to welcome guest, Kerri Stenson to Your Aha! Life - The Podcast. Kerri and I met when we were going through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching certification program two years ago. Kerri is a registered social worker and a certified professional life coach, COR.E Wellbeing Specialist, and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner. In 2019, Kerri started Purposefully Balanced Coaching - a coaching practice dedicated to supporting other heart-centered helpers in making wellbeing a priority and overcoming the external and internal barriers that may be getting in the way. She speaks from the heart, sharing her own journey to greater self-care after experiencing burnout. 

Kerri believes the path to true self-care begins with Discover, Connect, and Love. These three, along with intentionality, will help all of us who are on the journey toward caring for ourselves in a meaningful and sustainable way. In today's episode, Kerri and I talk about the myths and misconceptions related to self-care and how you can practice self-care in a way that fits you. Join Kerri each month when she hosts MasterClass sessions on important topics related to self-care. You can find the link to register by following her on IG @purposefully_balanced and FB: @purposefullybalanced. You can also find out more about Kerri and Purposefully Balanced by going to her website at www.kerristenson.com. 

After listening to today's episode, please leave a comment, give this podcast a 5-star review, claps, or thumbs-up, and most importantly, share it with your network. Head over to my private Facebook group, The Aha! Community (join, if you're not a member) and to my IG @tonya.yourahalife so we can continue the conversation. This is such an important topic, now more than ever, given the stress people are dealing with. We could all stand to take better care of ourselves. Thank you for listening. xo, Tonya

Don't Settle for a Half-Life: How to Live the Life You Deserve. If we're honest, all of us have settled in some area of our lives at some point in our lives. This episode is about that. If you find yourself settling for less than you deserve today or know that you have in the past, then you'll want to listen. In the episode, I share how settling shows up in our lives, the reasons people settle, and actions to take if you or someone you love is settling in life. Weeks ago the word, "settle" dropped in my spirit and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. Then, when I was writing this week's blog on The Art of Living a Simple and Balanced Life, I came across Kahlil Gibran's poem, Half-Life. It is beautiful and brilliant, and it set the table for what I wanted to talk about in this podcast. In his poem, he says, "Half a life is a life you didn't live...you are not half a being, You are a whole that exists to live a life not half a life." 

I hope you enjoy this episode. More importantly, I want you to search your heart and ask yourself if you are settling in an area of your life. If you are, discover why and then apply some of the actions I give. When we live half-lives, when we settle, we are not living our best lives - certainly not our Aha! Lives. I want you to live Your Aha! Life and I want that for me as well. We deserve to live the lives we dream about. 

I wish you more joy, more purpose, and more fulfillment. Please join me in continuing the conversation by going to my IG: tonya@yourahalife or join my private Facebook group, The Aha! Community. Whatever platform you listen to/view this podcast, please leave a comment, a review, thumbs up, or claps, and hit the subscribe button. I really appreciate your support.

Listen in as I welcome Maggie Dong to Your Aha! Life - The Podcast. In our conversation, Maggie shares how she helps people master their reality and Create a Fulfilled, Balanced, & Whole Life (focusing on their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness). 

Maggie Dong is a Podcaster, Healer, Fitness and Life Coach, and Channeler. Her story: childhood abuse, immigration, losing her mother at 16, her dad's life sentence, depression and anxiety, eating disorders, dropping out of college, starting and growing her business...Maggie had every reason to give up on life. Instead, her experiences have made her stronger and wiser. I found Maggie to be incredibly peaceful, centered, and open to living in the flow of life. At just 20 years old, Maggie is sharing her wisdom and helping others to master their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness, so they can raise their consciousness and live with fulfillment.

Listen in as I chat with Chauncy Renay of Living Louder Podcast about what it means to embrace your imperfections and live and richer, fuller, and more empowered life. Chauncy is an associate marriage and family therapist, speaker, and podcast host. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Social/Cultural Anthropology and her master's degree from California State University at Los Angeles. Her podcast, Living Louder, is a weekly reminder that feeling fearful is never an excuse to give up. 

In today's episode, Chauncy shares her own story about how she took high achievement to the brink in an effort to satisfy what she perceived to be societal expectations, an unhealthy definition of success, and self-doubt and fear. She was able to turn that around by discovering who she was at her core and make different choices to live according to her own definition of success. Chauncy leaves us with three "gems" to Live Louder - richer, fuller, and more empowered. 

You can find Chauncy on Instagram at Living Louder Podcast (@livinglouderpodcast). I love Chauncy's podcast and I highly encourage you to check it out and start following her on IG. She posts a new podcast every Thursday.
