Getting Unstuck

Do you ever find yourself involved in one activity when you know you should be involved in another... but you can't seem to just get away from it? Like when... You finish off a box of cookies when you know you should be cleaning up the kitchen You stay late at work even when you know you should be spending more time with your family You scroll on social media even when you know you should be going for a walk This kind of behavior happens to all of us. The solution seems obvious. JUST STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND DO THE OTHER THING! And yet, I'm sure you've experienced this before - it's not as simple or as easy as that. It's hard to get away. And when we stay emotionally stuck in it, we end up regretting our behavior. Sound familiar? In this week's "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I shed some light on this phenomenon and offer one important step you can take towards breaking that habit. Tune in below.

Do you ever pity yourself? In other words, do you ever portray yourself as a victim (whether of circumstances or of other people’s behavior) in order to gain sympathy from others?

Surprises can be great. But they can also feel awful. Especially when you are surprised by something you didn't expect to happen. Your default reaction to something negative you didn't expect to happen is often automatic rejection. Your automatic mind goes to a place of not being able to accept reality as it's presented to you at that moment. And yet, resisting reality is what gets you stuck. Tune in to this week's episode to learn what you can consider the next time you get surprised, so you can be able to move on from it.   Take the first step in learning how to control your emotional reactions by getting IN CONTROL.

Have you ever had the experience where... Someone says something to you that on the surface doesn't seem like a big deal, but you take it to heart, or when... Someone tries to get clarity from you, but you take it personally, or when... Someone is being judgmental and you start to second guess yourself? All of these situations have the potential to create a feeling of inadequacy in you. The words people say can often make you feel "less than," incompetent, or even worthless. What's important to remember is that feeling inadequate is not the same as believing you are inadequate. There is a difference between the two. In this week's episode, learn more about what you can do the next time you are feeling inadequate in an awkward social situation.

Are you the kind of person who tends to overly apologize? Over-apologizing is when you say "sorry" when you don't need to. This could be when you didn't do anything wrong, but you take responsibility for it anyway. Like when... The waiter brings you the wrong order and you apologize for the mistake. Or you apologize for bothering the clerk at the store, even though it's their job to assist you. Or maybe while checking out at the supermarket, the cashier's machine breaks, and you turn to the person behind you in line and apologize for taking so long. There may be many reasons why we do this, but the bottom line is, apologizing when there's no need is a problem. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more and how you can practice being unapologetic today!        

When you get emotionally triggered, a story automatically forms in your mind. And when that happens, you feel absolutely right about your story and your reaction to it feels totally justified.

It's very easy to look backward and get mad at yourself. For not being better. For not doing better. For not being perfect. And yet, unless you are learning something from those past experiences, beating yourself up about them doesn't help. In fact, it only keeps you stuck. That's why it's so essential that you know how to be kind to yourself. And hold yourself in self-compassion, no matter what happened in the past. Tune in to this week's episode to hear my story and to see where you can bring more self-kindness into your life. *When you are ready to learn how to better handle the everyday emotional situations in your life, click here to sign up for my FREE CLASS!
