28: Feel the Feels Women's Success Coach Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
Episode Overview:
Did you know that one of the biggest drivers of behavior, if not THE biggest driver of behavior is feelings? We want to move away from negative feelings because they are uncomfortable (aka harmful), and we want to move towards positive feelings because they make us feel good, however, the reality is that uncomfortable feelings are part of life, so learning to manage them instead of avoid them is very empowering.
What I Cover:
What feelings actually are.Why you should lean into feelings, instead of avoid them.Review of a process that allows you to be curious about your feelings and feel more in control of them.Specific examples outlining how to go through this process.
Let's Take Some Action:
The next time you notice yourself trying to avoid experiencing a negative feeling or emotion, ask yourself the following question:
What am I experiencing in my body right now?Where exactly are these vibrations in my body?What words can I use to describe what I am experiencing if I were to describe it to someone else?What one word can I use to describe the feeling?
Once you are clear about this, ask yourself, “What am I thinking that is causing me to have this feeling?
Finally, ask yourself, “How else can I think about this that would result in me experiencing better feelings?”
Useful Resources:
Do you worry too much, overthink, assume the worst-case scenarios, spend a lot of time focusing on negative things that have happened, or discredit positive things happening? If so, you are dealing with the human brain we have all been given and you are not alone.
The good news is, you can change this and it may not take as long as you may think! If you want a free resource that will help you examine your thinking patterns, and change those that are not serving you, grab my 5 Common Thought Distortions Guide HERE.
