PANDEMIC POWER: Embracing Your Emotions

PANDEMIC POWER: Embracing Your Emotions

Our emotions are probably all over the place right now—and for good reason!

You may be stressed because a loved one has contracted the virus or works in a high-risk job, facing financial overwhelm due to loss of income, or just frustrated being stuck in your house with your entire family for weeks.

A lot of us are feeling intense emotions because of the pandemic, with few outlets for them. If you’re anxious, afraid, lonely, stressed-out, please know you’re not alone, and that all of your feelings are both VALID and NORMAL. It’s an overwhelming time, and your psyche is just trying to keep up and process everything!

Don’t resist your feelings. No matter what you’re thinking. It's okay.

Don’t resist your feelings. No matter what you’re thinking. It's okay.

I want to make it clear. 100% clear that right now in this time of uncertainty, that it's ok to have any and all thoughts and feeling you are having during this time.

The key to success and happiness is to identify the feeling and instead of resisting them – allow – and allow yourself to process them – feel them all the way through.

Here are 7 steps to help you do that.

Got Confidence?

This is going to change your life and here's why. Confidence is the single most important feeling or “tool” that you can use to fuel your dreams. And I’m gonna give you the secret formula to increase your self-confidence today!

I just got back from our second and last in-person Master Coach Training. Where my coach and mentor asked us what’s difference between confidence and self-confidence. I loved her take on it.

Just a fun little note we flew on a private jet from Dallas to Austin. Hello? See the picture? That was a surprise and so much fun. Here’s a picture of me getting off the jet headed for our two days together so that the best of the best could get into every nook and cranny of each of our minds to uncover all the BS that could be holding us back from making our wildest dreams a reality and be able to do the same for our clients. That’s what’s required to become a master coach - basically master your own mind.

6 Steps to Beat Procrastination & a Little Technique Called NET

6 Steps to Beat Procrastination & a Little Technique Called NET

I fell off the wagon again… the procrastination wagon that is.  

I’m in Brussels for the first time right now doing my re-certification as a practitioner of Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET). I’m excited to be here for the next 3 days and visit the city. So far all I know is that Belgium's home to the best french fries in the world, ridiculously delicious Belgium chocolates & waffles, and that you must see a statue called the Manneue Pis (according to my NET buddy who’s from here). No one can tell me why this statue is popular here, but just that “everyone goes.”  

Ok so I didn’t see Manneue Pis, but I did see Jeanneke Pis. AND I want to confirm that yes I tried the fries and they were fantastic. Big deal coming from an American, no?

4 Ways to Love What You Have (Relationships, Jobs, Etc.)

4 Ways to Love What You Have (Relationships, Jobs, Etc.)

You have the option to feel any way you want at any time. Your thoughts cause your feelings, and thoughts are optional.  

You need to know this. You always have the option to feel however you choose to feel. This is always available to you. Sometimes we choose to feel sad and angry and frustrated, and that's fine. That's our choice. We can choose to feel however we want, but you have to know and remember that it is always a choice. Your choice.  

It's when we start to believe that how we feel isn't a choice that we get ourselves into trouble. We leave jobs and relationships we think we dislike only to find ourselves in a similar situation because we don’t realize this fact that we get to choose our emotions.

Have you ever felt like a stranger in a foreign land, or even in your own neck of the woods?

I've been in France for 8 months. It's interesting living in another country for so long and not speaking the language, ho hum... I'm taking French class by the way, but still struggling to speak. A lot of time I feel like maybe I came from another planet, maybe Venus, and landed smack dab in the middle of the French Riveria.

Who Makes You Feel Angry or Upset Regularly?

,
Who Makes You Feel Angry or Upset Regularly?

Think about what happens when someone makes you so angry. Such as, he was late when he said he’d be on time or she had a girls night and didn’t invite you or he didn’t pick up the groceries you asked him to pick up twice, etc.

You avoid them, snap at them, give them a piece of your mind, tell them it’s their fault, you take some action driven by your frustration. Your behavior is reasonable, right? I’m sorry, no, wrong.

Expecting another person to deal with your feelings is not you dealing with your own feelings.

What's the Real Reason You're So Busy?

What's the Real Reason You're So Busy?

HI, MY NAME IS TIFFANY AND I'M A RECOVERING BUSYAHOLIC. 

It started out innocently enough. I am an ambitious woman. Hey, don't judge, ambition gets a bad wrap. All it means is the desire to do or achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. So, if you are reading this, chances are you are an ambitious woman too. For me what that means is, once I set my mind to something I make it happen. I love that about myself. However, this strength has also been one of my greatest weaknesses. Interesting how perceived weaknesses are just strengths over used.
