Have you had one of those weeks? The pressure you put on yourself continues to build up. Well friends, I am right there with you! We can be our own worst enemy and put incredible expectations on ourselves that are not necessary. That was how I felt this week so I know that this will resonate with you as well.
Grab a cup of coffee or maybe even a cocktail and listen in as I share some of the expectations that I’ve held on myself in regard to my health, spirituality, relationships, and finances/career. I’m always a work in progress and definitely not perfect at this, although I provide you with the below simple tips to help reset your mind and LET GO of some of these pressures.
1. Be Aware & Stop - do not believe what you are feeling or thinking as you may be looking through a distorted lens. Being aware that you are holding yourself to unnecessary expectations allows you to pause the brain to train it for something better.
2. Breathe. Be still with the Pause - once you notice it, take some deep breaths the clear the mind to allow new energy and thought patterns to be brought into your body.
3. Act with a good new habit - do something that your brain enjoys such as getting outdoors, music, exercise, etc. this helps rewire the brain to come to this quicker each time.
4. Reflect & Journal - our bodies want to stay in the comfort so during times of discomfort and resistance, you will notice patterns. Writing these down allows you to see your growth in this area and be a witness to the painful and emotional times.
