Today, we're talking about talking yourself out of things that actually could bring you a lot of joy. Now, we're not talking about the big stuff this time. We're talking about the small, incremental, tiny moments in your day that you feel a tug to lean in, you feel a calling to do, but then inevitably, your brain gets involved. Then it's like, “No, I don't have time”, “I shouldn't do that”, “I should get back to work”... insert 18 million different shoulds. The point is that you end up talking yourself out of doing this thing and just continue to spin in the hamster wheel. So, in this Powerback® episode, we're gonna take our power back by leaning into those simple joys of life. Learning how to recognize when you have those tugs, and then giving yourself permission to follow through with them. It's really interesting how some of the smallest things can bring us some of the biggest joys.We’ll go through:What I mean by talking yourself out of stuffWhy we talk ourselves out of life’s simplistic joysHow to start accepting these moments of joy and fulfillmentReframing how you look at honoring your wants and desiresNotice when it happens and practice receivingResources from this episodeThis is your LAST CALL to become a Founding Member of the Gutsy Collective!

I've been really sick lately, and this particular sickness has triggered some mental gunk that I was wholeheartedly not expecting.One of the things that I have found that brings me a lot of clarity and a lot of focus, and honestly just helps me to feel a lot better is to write and to guide other people. So, as I'm going through this process I decided to share it with you.Today's Powerback® episode is focused on not feeding your zombie groundhog. It is that creature that pops up kind of out of nowhere sometimes that just digs up every thought, worry, fear, and insecurity that you've ever had in your life.So, let's get to know our zombie groundhogs together. Because when you understand what this feeling is, what is trying to tell you, and how to navigate through it, you can eliminate some of that isolation, some of that feel-on-fire feeling when you're not really feeling yourself.We’ll go through:The COVID symptom not everyone talks about: brain fog + zombie groundhogAllow yourself to sit with the discomfort especially when it’s difficultGet to know your zombie groundhog (listen to her message)Don’t feed your zombie groundhog (at least don’t make it worse)Don’t try to fix it!
