Make Your Damn Bed

When you do this intentional releasing, I want you to focus on getting the shit out. When you change the oil in your car, you have to drain out the old shit for it to run properly in the future and that draining part is the most time consuming and expensive part of the process. Refilling the shit with the good stuff is very fast and fairly simple. The wait and the disposal of the old, heavy shit is where the labor comes in. But if you have the proper tools and expectations, it’s easier to do so. So let yourself lean in to the draining portion, even though it kinda sucks and recognize that you are going to feel better afterwards. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Water is insanely cleansing, effective, and a powerful energy resource and it’s not to be underestimated in our own personal healing and wellbeing. There is a reason health professionals and therapists alike are always advocating for your hydration. Drink your damn water, wash your damn face, and remember that you’re a powerful mother fucker made of powerful stuff! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Aggression is a human emotion. You are allowed to feel aggressive. Anger is a human emotion. You are allowed to feel angry. Sadness, frustration, embarrassment, fear are all human emotions. You are allowed to feel all of them. The problem is, when we blindly react to those feelings out of fear they will last forever, or instinct, or whatever. I have said many times before that we are are responsible for the way we react to things - but I think it takes a very emotionally conscious and intelligent person to be able to feel these more quote unquote “ugly” feelings in a way that we don’t feel the need to outwardly react to. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

If we create positive associations with movement - we will struggle less with guilt and that feeling of obligation. Build positive mindsets around movemetn. It’s not a punishment, it’s a form of self care, nourishment, and grounding. It’s a free way to connect with yourself in a way that can genuinely improve your longevity and day to day mental and physical health. It doesn’t have to be intense, you don’t always have to go so hard, as long as you’re doing something to show your body you care for it as much as it cares for you, don’t worry about the rest. Start small, don’t pressure yourself if you don’t want to, and remember that a little is better than nothing - as long as it feels good to you. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

The only thing you can plan for is your behaviors, choices, and reactions. Stop writing the story for everyone's reactions to your choices and just lean in with honesty and kindness. Worrying won't change the outcome. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I found myself focusing on the negative opinions of others. Opinions I had no control over. So when I caught myself and refocused on the positive comments of the supportive people that really mattered, that's when I was able to escape the negative thought patterns that took my ass in.

I generally say steer clear of obsessing over problems and people. The only thing you should obsess over is your own wellbeing. Feel free to get caught up in a new hobby or joy, but when day in and day out your thinking is always coming back to the things that aren’t within your control - like ‘why didn’t she text me back?’ Or ‘what if I never make as much money as them’ you’ll miss out on a lot of time and energy that you could have been worrying about yourself or other things that are actually within your control and have the potential to solve the problems you’re hell bent on rehearsing in the first place. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

When we build a barrier to protect us from feeling hard feelings, they become more challenging to approach in general. So, as a result, we end up completely avoiding things that could potentially trigger that fear and then before we know it, we miss out on an entire life because we didn’t make room for discomfort. Before we realize what we have done - instead of avoiding the fear, we have completely centered that fear as the main character in our story. We have made every choice in our life around avoiding the fear instead of simply facing it. We made it the star of the show instead of just another commercial break. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast.

Think about when you do get distracted - throughout the day - even if it’s good thoughts or positive distractions, it can easily interrupt our flow. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Genuinely though - there are perks to many lifestyles you would hate to have - and cons to many lifestyles you would love to have. Focus less on what you’re missing out on - and focus in on what you actually have. And if there is something you’re genuinely feeling like you’re missing out on - go after that thing! And if it’s meant to be - it’ll happen for you. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
