Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Tuesday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Own Who You Are
This week I want to give you some personal truths & beliefs to live by. These episodes will also help you realize that taking responsibility for everything in your life will make you stronger, not weaker.
It's easy to blame someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- Today I want to talk about the thing that, out of this entire week of what we are going to talk about, was the easiest for me & hopefully for you, too. We are going to talk about owning your past.
- Obviously, the past is in the past. You can’t change it, you can’t swap it out, & you have to accept what has happened because there really isn’t anything else you can do.
- The funny thing about the past is that people always want to throw out what has happened to them in the past, more specifically when it was a negative experience, because it’s much easier to forget & avoid something, rather than deal with it.
- I talk about it all the time, the things we go through provides so much growth & learning opportunities. Which I understand isn’t the most fun thing, but it’s necessary to understanding yourself better & becoming your best self.
- On the flip side, there are some people that choose to instead live in the past. You get so caught up in what has happened & get into a whirlwind of thinking it means more than it usually does & let it hold you back from the rest of your life.
- How sad is it that we let certain experiences hold us back from living & being who we were meant to be? I get that it might have sucked, but you don’t have to let it be all-consuming & controlling.
- I grew up with a ton of terrible experiences, but I chose to learn from those because it was the choice that allowed me to not be continuously haunted by what happened.
- It also taught me how to be a better person, better mom, better wife, better friend, because I chose to not let negativity crush me. You can do the same.
- Now whether you are on the side of being obsessed with your past & letting it rule your life or trying to pretend like none of it happened, you need to understand that it is a part of you & something you should try to use as a reference for what to do, not to do or do something better or different.
- The biggest piece of information I want to share with you today is that you need to accept your past to better appreciate your future. If you get so stuck in wishing things had gone differently, you won’t appreciate how it’s actually turning out or becoming better than you even expected.
- A couple other pieces of owning your past: accept the attached negative emotions, grow through what you go through, & go slow with yourself.
Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!
