Make Your Damn Bed

Showing up can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and you will have agency over how you choose to show up - but to me, it’s important to pay attention to your people as individuals, and if you want to create a long lasting relationship that can withstand the test of time, you have to be willing to show up for them when you can. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Getting comfortable growing means getting comfortable being wrong. Your thoughts may feel like the truth, but they're not always rooted in reality. Often, in fact, they aren't. Practice questioning your own thoughts, without getting defensive. Take some time and space for your own wellbeing today. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

It's Thanksgiving in the US and instead of dreading the holiday altogether, I now look forward to the idea of having a specific day dedicated to gratitude and connection with family or friends over various starches and pie WHILE simultaneously having passionate conversations about important ideals. Donate to Native American Rights Fund: https://secure.narf.org/page/64457/donate/1 DECODED: A thanksgiving sketch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFfREh7G3ck Podcast: We Are Still Here- A Message of Unity for Thanksgiving https://rights.culturalsurvival.org/we-are-still-here-message-unity-thanksgiving A Native American view on Thanksgiving - https://www.huffpost.com/entry/with-thanksgiving-a-native-american-view_b_5a0cca9ee4b023a796fed3b4 Toasted Sister's Podcast episode on Thanksgiving: https://toastedsisterpodcast.com/2020/11/23/e70-the-thanksgiving-episode/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

When people misplace their anger onto you - it's not your responsibility to rectify it. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

People will typically match your energy. Your energy reflects your perceptions. This is why, if you work improve your perception, the reactions of others and your entire reality will follow.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

The things that resonate for you reflect your past, your experiences, your interpretations, and even more so, your attitude about all of that shit. This is why some people can go through hell and back and have the best mindset and focus on gratitude and love and other people can be insanely privileged and still miserable about everything. Neither one is wrong. Both experiences and feelings are valid. But again, I can tell you which way sounds preferable. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

When we put our attention and our full conscious minds behind the things we do, we give them more power than when we simply allow them to happen to us. It truly sounds like magic because it kind of is. The fact is, our visualizations are just as powerful as our physical experiences. Our imaginations can literally create the same neural pathways in our brain, which can impact our physical bodies and surroundings as a result. This is why the power of positive thinking is so crucial. We truly do bring energy to everything we do, whether we know it or not, so the more conscious and intentional we can be with that energy, the better our reality will become as a result. Attitude really does shape everything, why not shape it the way you want?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Practice never goes bad. It’s not something that expires when you don’t use it. You can build on that information later. Hone the skill over time when it feels right for you - but recognize that consistent hard work shows results the fastest. 20 minutes of mindful practice will outweigh 2 hours of bullshit practice any day. So be mindful - be all in - and commit what you can when you can where you can. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

 Learning to love yourself means showing up day after day with compassion, curiosity, and reverence for the person you are in this very moment. It means being kind and patient with yourself as you learn this process but it also means you may benefit from taking some notes.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Decluttering can feel very empowering and lighten some of the energetic ties you naturally create when residing in a space. It’s hard to feel free when you’re bogged down with shit around you, so let yourself feel a bit of freedom that comes with the occasional deep clean and purge. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.
