Fear can indicate healthy brain function. It's not weak, it's a good sign that it exists - but we often project shit onto the future and don't even realize we've been walkin' around with a weighted blanket of unhelpful + unwarranted anxiety on our backs. Practice noting it + see how often you can redirect those thoughts.

When we get caught up rethinking situations that are beyond past... we can help redirect our brain to the present by remixing the toxic thought cycle + imagining the situation with a different "ending" or "climax". Ask yourself to change one thing about the situation, to see if that could potentially change the outcome. Sample remix questions include: The timingYour body patterns and what you did with your bodyWhat you say and how you said itThe location and where it happened The order you did things inSee the extended bonus versions of episodes like this on youtube.com/juliemerica and rate us 5 stars on apple podcasts if you haven't already.

Motivational Monday: hotcake alert - this episode gets a bit sappy. i spent my life workin' harder, not smarter. Doing a ton of motion without any movement. Seemingly to prove that I deserved success when I reached it but now that I'm here, I am questioning who I was proving that to + why I was in such a hurry to do so. I thought I was playing catchup on "wasted time" from a traumatic childhood or lack of certain luxury - but when I get real, it's clear that there was no such thing as 'wasted time' because now I have wisdom, experience, and gratitude for the basics. I am inspired for the first time in my WHOLE DAMNED LIFE because of YOU. So, if ya lack motivation - look in the mirror. You're amazing for simply showing up.

Suggestion Sunday: Gossip is good for ya, actually. According to science, 60% of our conversations involve gossip of some sort + we begin gossiping for social relationships by the age of 5. That said, our reasonings can vary + change the impact of our gossip tremendously, as a result. There's a fine line between venting + ruining reputations. How to gossip better:Why am I sharing this now? To potentially to protect someone? or to make a deeper connection with someone? or are you venting? or stirring the pot? jealous? hurt? angry? bored? But if you're spreading this just to be a dick? Don't. People will see through it eventually + lose trust for you. Is this true, + is it okay for you to share? It's not cool to betray someone's trust, just to sound like you 'know some shit about some shit' or whatever.What is the best case scenario from sharing this? Worst case scenario? Who will be affected? Anyone? How so?Check out our instagram for a bonus suggestion on how to get out of gossip-y conversations you'd rather not be in.

Gossip is a weird topic for me - because we all do it, to some extent and with a bit of tact it can be a cathartic + acceptable release of steam, but it's a very fine line before you become mean, petty, angry, and simply serve to rile yourself up more. Not to mention, the real life impact we have on the people we are shit talkin'. This scatterbrain Saturday, I share a personal story where I let some venting slip to a person who was... not the best choice, and ended up having to backtrack. Luckily, we learned a few lessons along the way. Hope today is magic, just like you!
