The Root of Power - Embody Peace, Heal Trauma & Be Happy Amanda Chils

Free Stuff: https://livemyhappyhealth.com/free Ask anyone if they like change, and chances are they're gonna say "I hate change." This thought, my sweet croiissant, keeps them (and you) stuck. One of the biggest secrets of success is not only embracing change, but actively choosing to change anything that's no longer serving them. When people say "I'm terrified of change" what they're really saying is that they're afraid what they'll change will be worse than what they have now. Most people are taught to be afraid of change, and they're brought up in a culture that tells people they're a victim, they're stuck and if it's not perfect then it's horrible. This is so damaging, and it doesn't have to be this way. You can control the changes you make. And I argue in this episode that the more changes you consciously, intentionally make, the happier you are. Website: www.livemyhappyhealth.com IG: @amanda_chils FB: @amandachilscoach

Free Stuff: https://livemyhappyhealth.com/free Your first therapy appointment is the intake. This is where the therapist will ask a bunch of questions, get your history, why you're wanting to do therapy, what your goals are and all the jazz. The intake, for most people, feels pretty awkward. Yep, even when I did an intake with a therapist I saw after I ended things with my husband it was weird. Even so, they're necessary. Gotta start somewhere right? My intakes are pretty standard, but of course with some differences. In this episode I walk through my intake process: what to expect during a therapy intake, some insight about therapy in general. Hopefully, this episode helps you feel at ease, know whats coming and feel a little more ready to meet with your therapist. Website: www.livemyhappyhealth.com IG: @amanda_chils FB: @amandachilscoach

Free Stuff: https://livemyhappyhealth.com/free Repeat after me: "I am not a burden. Relationships are supposed to be reciprocal." Sure you can try and go through life alone, but it's literally not possible. Humans have come this far only because we help each other. Hell, you didn't even come into this life alone, you were supported to come into this world and were supported to get to where you are now. Were you well supported? Maybe not. Maybe you learned early on that your job was to take care of others. Maybe you learned early on that the way to create safety or to get love was to be useful and to not be a burden. How clever of you then to become very independent, and perhaps now those same skills aren't necessary. Mind works in some specific ways to ensure our survival, and becoming hyper independent to the point where asking for help or accepting help feels like eating a jar of mayonnaise that's been left out in the sun for a few hours is a trauma response. Somewhere along the way you learned that you couldn't trust others or rely on them. Makes sense then, not so useful now. This episode will help you reprogram that so you feel comfortable accepting help and building reciprocal relationships. Website: www.livemyhappyhealth.com IG: @amanda_chils FB: @amandachilscoach

Free Stuff: https://livemyhappyhealth.com/free That weight on your chest. The feeling that you can never get enough oxygen. That weakness you've felt in your body. The racing thoughts. Jumping to the worst case scenario. Yep, I'm talking about anxiety. Or the more useful way to put it, experiencing anxious thoughts and feelings. I heard recently that anxiety is the most common cause for ER visits. Anxiety is also the most common mental health diagnosis. Anxiety is something almost every one of my clients deals with, so Ive dealt with it almost daily for almost a decade now. Its safe to say I'm an expert in healing it. Not just teaching my clients to cope, in actualy healing it. Yes, its possible. These are the tools I use the most often, I hope they give you some breathing room, some calm and a lot of peace.

Free Stuff: https://livemyhappyhealth.com/free One of the reasons so many people struggle with trying to be happy all the time and only allowing high vibe emotions is that its not possible to do. When we try to do something impossible, mind becomes frustrated and puts more energy into it, hoping that'll fix it, and because it's impossible mind becomes stuck in this loop. If you've been feeling like you can't just be happy, its likely because you've been operating under this paradigm. Emotions are an all or nothing game, either they're all allowed or nothing comes through. So many of my clients come to me disembodied (shut down emotionally) because they've been burying unpleasant emotions, and part of their healing is to become embodied (present in their body aka feeling emotions). I discuss why so much spiritual bypassing is happening, how it's creating suffering and a way of thinking about emotions that is much more useful if we want to be free.

Free Stuff: https://livemyhappyhealth.com/free Being afraid of failure is something I help clients with all the time. Because subconscious is wired to avoid an percieved threat, and most people are taught that failing is bad, of course mind will then learn to avoid failure. But think about the happiest people you know, they aren't letting fear hold them back. In fact, they're likely the people facing their fears and doing the scary thing, and loving it! Getting comfortable with discomfort is one of the most powerful shifts you can make, and being okay with failure is part of that. I discuss where fear of failure comes from, how subconscious becomes wired to avoid it, the consequences of doing so and how to break the patterns. Get ready to embody the courage of Moana my sweet croissant. Website: www.livemyhappyhealth.com IG: @amanda_chils FB: @amandachilscoach
