    Want to Have Peace Every Day

    How to Have Peace Every Day (Without a Vacation or a Desert Island) Claudia Braun welcomes viewers to “Say Yes to You and Why You Don’t,” sharing her background as a mindset, lifestyle, and EFT coach for women who often say yes to others but want to start saying yes to themselves. What would it take to experience real daily peace without needing a vacation, retreat, or time away from everyone, how much peace have you felt recently? As you connect to your physical costs of living at a constant “five or six” of stress, you’ll understand the power daily peace can offer. Claudia explains how a single thought or trigger can hijack the mind, create anxiety in the body, and lead to distraction, over-scrolling, overeating, and poor decisions, emphasizing awareness, slowing down, and tracing back where peace was lost. Using a pottery centering metaphor, she encourages releasing attachment to how things “should” be, choosing acceptance, softening toward yourself, doing your part, stepping back, and practicing peace—access meditation for stressful times to assist you. meditationforstressfultimes.subscribepage.io 00:00 Can You Live in Peace 00:34 Meet Claudia Braun 01:54 Why Peace Feels Rare 04:59 How Thoughts Hijack You 07:25 Find Where You Lost Peace 09:20 Pottery Wheel Centering 10:29 Slow Down to Succeed 12:48 Choose Peace Over Right 15:58 Release Attachment Open Up 18:09 Bring It Home and Next Steps Get full access to Say YES to you (and why you don’t) at claudialbraun.substack.com/subscribe

    Step 3 for lasting change...

    Step 3: Taking Action That Actually Creates Lasting Change (Awareness + Acceptance + Action) Claudia Braun wraps up her three-step process for creating change—awareness, acceptance, and action—explaining that many people struggle with action because they skip the first two steps and end up taking reactive steps that fizzle or lead to unwanted results. She contrasts reactivity with responding, emphasizing that acceptance leads to surrender, reduces resistance, and creates the internal pause needed for clear, inspired, laser-focused action. Using examples like emotional eating and dealing with difficult coworkers, she shows how pausing, reflecting, and sometimes choosing to do nothing can prevent old patterns and diffuse conflict. She reminds listeners that all three “A’s” are required for long-lasting change and invites women who often say yes to others to book time with her for a deeper conversation on applying these steps for clearer results, peace, and happiness.
