Getting Unstuck

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone probes you with a question, seemingly seeking some intriguing tidbit, and you feel the pressure to share in response? It's a scenario that often leads to post-conversation regrets. But what if you could reclaim the power to say nothing at all? What if you could take a moment, pause, and consciously decide whether that question deserves your response? In this week's "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I unveil two enlightening stories. They vividly illustrate how a pause can unveil that some stories just aren't yours to tell. One story came from an experience I had with a new friend, while the other stems from The Living Deliberately Circle, my membership community. I can't wait for you to tune in and get inspired! www.shiragura.com P.S. Mark your calendar for September 5th. I'll be leading a free 3-Day Challenge on "Silencing Negative Self-Talk." Exciting details and sign-up information are coming soon...

Have you ever caught yourself trapped in the cycle of saying "Poor Me"? Do you sometimes find yourself succumbing to self-pity when things don't go as planned? It's a common inclination to allow external factors to dictate how we perceive the world around us—a state I refer to as our "way of being." How you show up in the world is not only a reflection of your internal state but can also influence those around you. Join me to discover how I overcame the "Poor Me" mentality and learn how The unSTUCK Method can empower you to do the same. www.shiragura.com

Have you ever faced the challenge of someone being rude without knowing why? It's a common and uncomfortable experience that can leave us feeling stuck and unsure of how to respond. Recently, during my trip to Poland with my son for the European Little League Baseball tournament, I encountered a situation where my son was surprisingly rude to me. It was more than just a little rude—it was downright uncomfortable. His dismissive gestures, disapproving looks, and questioning my presence left me feeling stuck. In this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I'll share the story and how I managed to break free from the situation by realizing that "This has nothing to do with you." Discover the steps I took so you, too, can learn how to handle rude behavior with grace and ease. And remember, you can handle anything! www.shiragura.com

In life, we often encounter situations where people seek our assistance, even for tasks they are fully capable of handling themselves. It can be challenging to resist the urge to step in and help, especially when they guilt-trip us into doing so, leaving us torn between being supportive and enabling their reliance on us. And yet it's possible to get unstuck from feeling guilty and consider they can handle things on their own, despite the discomfort. If you find yourself frequently "rescuing" others more than you desire, I invite you to tune in to this week's "You Can Handle Anything" podcast. In this episode, I share the full story and explore how we can bring the powerful lesson of empowerment into our lives. www.shiragura.com

Have you ever found yourself caught off guard by someone's unexpected words or actions, leaving you at a loss for how to respond? Those moments can freeze us in our tracks and often lead to regrettable reactions later on. I recently experienced such a surprise while traveling in Poland with my son, who is participating in the European Little League Baseball tournament. In this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I'll be sharing the story of what unfolded next. And it has to do with the phrase: "Hang On!" "Hang on" is a potent phrase that grants you a moment of pause. It provides an opportunity to process your emotions and contemplate what's possible in that very moment. Join me on this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to hear the full story and discover how incorporating the "hang on" approach can assist you in navigating surprising and challenging situations. Remember, you have the ability to handle anything that comes your way. www.shiragura.com  

Have you ever caught yourself uttering phrases like "It was awful," "It was the worst," or "I wouldn't wish this on anyone!"? It's easy to fall into negative patterns of thinking, genuinely believing that things couldn't possibly get any worse. But what if that assumption isn't entirely accurate? What if things actually could get worse? I invite you to consider this not because you desire things to worsen, but because it might help you shift your perspective and find gratitude for what you currently have. The reality is, it can always be worse. Our experiences in life are merely subjective perspectives. Tune in to this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to hear how I handled a uniquely annoying situation, and what you can do when you catch yourself thinking, "This can't get any worse." Remember, you possess the resilience to handle anything that comes your way! https://shiragura.com

When someone gets angry at you, how you respond can impact your relationships and inner peace. If you've ever felt stuck, defensive, or excessively apologetic when someone expresses disappointment with something you did (or something you intend to do), you're not alone. The other person's behaviors (and our reactions to them) can lead to resentment and affect our well-being. Learn how to break free when people get mad at you and how to engage confidently with them on this week's "You Can Handle Anything!" podcast. www.shiragura.com

When it comes to creating meaningful changes in your life or pursuing your goals and dreams, it's common to feel stuck. Despite having well-crafted action plans, diets, or strategies, many people find themselves unable to make progress and ultimately give up on themselves. The reason behind this recurring pattern is often the lack of a solid foundation. To truly transform your life, you need to start at the core. At the foundation of any change lies your ability to navigate the "moments" that shape your existence. Life is a continuous series of moments, and the quality of your journey depends on how skillfully you navigate through them. However, when those moments involve intense emotions, it's easy to become hijacked by their powerful influence. Emotions can cloud your judgment, derail your progress, and hinder your pursuit of dreams. That's where Living Deliberately steps in with its powerful 3-step approach. It all begins with mastering the art of handling these pivotal moments. By developing emotional res

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by the emotions of others? Here's a gentle reminder: You are not accountable for the emotions of others. Period. Far too often, we shoulder the burden of others' hurt, sadness, and anger, believing it is our responsibility to fix everything and ensure everyone's happiness. However, it is vital to acknowledge that each person is responsible for their own emotions. Redirect your focus to what you can control: your own feelings and emotions. By establishing and honoring emotional boundaries, you empower yourself to prioritize your well-being and foster healthier relationships. Remember, it's perfectly fine to offer support and empathy, but it is equally important to maintain a healthy distinction between your emotions and those of others. Tune in to hear more.

Have you ever waited for a "thank you" that never came? Maybe you went out of your way for someone or maybe you gave a gift to someone, but the words "thank you" never left their lips.
