Vera speaks with Sam Jordan, a suicide attempt survivor, as a guest on the Do You Podcast today to talk about suicide ideation. Suicide is a feeling of having vague thoughts about ending your life or believing that others would be better off without you. Suppressing one's emotions, whether it's anger, sadness, grief, or frustration, can lead to mental and physical stress to someone.  According to Sam, self-harm appeals to those aged 11 to 13. Since some people do not want to talk about their thoughts or express their emotions in front of others. She states that the source of her suicidal ideas was a need for attention, and she learned that as individuals grow older and mature, they will be able to handle their thoughts and feelings differently. --- Follow Vera on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vera.stepina Instagram: @vera_stepina Visit us at: https://www.slimgymtransformation.com

In this episode of the Do You Podcast, Vera talks about The Reason Behind Failures. You've probably heard this one before, but Vera proves that it's true all of our life: sometimes you don't get the results you want out of a fitness program. Sometimes you fall into this rabbit hole and tell yourself you're a failure. But - and here's the thing - Vera says the reality is that your failure isn't a failure at all. It's just disappointment, plain and simple. And at the core of most of our "failures," we discover that there are beliefs we hold on to that aren't serving us anymore. The key to overcoming those beliefs is self-awareness and understanding what red flags to look out for so they don't keep happening. Listen to Vera as she explains how to rewire the brain and examine what beliefs we hold onto in different situations! --- Follow Vera on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vera.stepina Instagram: @vera_stepina Visit us at: https://www.slimgymtransformation.com

In today's episode, Vera Stepina is joined by her guest Heather. They discuss perfectionism, which is an illusion we make for ourselves. Heather discusses her nutrition, which lengthens the spectrum and makes it excellent for the garbage. She claims that our subconscious seeks perfection, which equals procrastination because we are afraid to do things and have been taught that we are unworthy. People limit themselves by labeling and creating an illusion of gaining attention and affirmation. They said there is no specific outcome since you can't predict the future. However, you can't be perfect, but you may aspire to be better. --- Follow Vera on social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vera.stepina Instagram: @vera_stepina Visit us at: https://www.slimgymtransformation.com

In this episode, Vera talks about the importance of shedding your expectations and hopes that can lead you to disappointment. She helps women change their lifestyle and mistakes that cause by a lot of unreasonable expectations. And people who want to lose weight should have flexible boundaries with expected results.  Also, you have the choice if you let your entire life be affected by beliefs based on the story we continuously create in our heads that we call "What ifs." Your life will continue to become better when you start realizing that it doesn't matter what you hope for tomorrow or what you expect from tomorrow. --- Follow me on my social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vera.stepina Instagram: @vera_stepina Visit us at: https://www.slimgymtransformation.com

Are there reasons you're doing what you're doing? Why are you pursuing a goal, putting in the effort, or practicing a sport? It seems like we have this constant need to compare ourselves. And this is especially true in social media. Today Vera focused on the quote, "Pro makes it look easy, amateur thinks it is," where the beauty of someone else's accomplishments can be a huge motivator, but the pressure to match or exceed that person can add a lot of stress in your life. She said end up worrying if you're "as good as them" and go back to master your basics. So stay focused on learning your fundamentals and not getting caught up in what others do. --- Follow me on my social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vera.stepina Instagram: @vera_stepina Visit us at: https://www.slimgymtransformation.com
