Getting Unstuck

I have a story for you today. But guess what? I bet you have one for me, too. Do you know how I know? Because as humans, we walk around with stories. All of the time. Some of those stories benefit us. But, many of them do not. And when they don't, it's your responsibility to change the story (if you want to feel better at any given moment). Tune in to this week's podcast to learn why you may want to consider checking in with your stories because you may realize you may be walking around with a "wrong" one! *If you want to learn how to better handle the everyday emotional situations in your life, click here to sign up for my FREE CLASS to get started!

When we get triggered, we react. But what is the true cause of that reaction? Is it the trigger or is it our thinking about the trigger that causes us to react? There's a difference between the two and knowing it is the difference between night and day.

The natural way to go about solving the problem is to actually DO something about it. The problem is, that approach may help in the short term, but it may not get to the root of the problem, and hence, it may not ever solve the problem.

Do you ever have the urge to offer unsolicited advice? Do you ever have the urge to check your phone? Do you ever have the urge to finish off people's sentences? I'm sure you've experienced urges in your life - and I'm also confident you've experienced them when it comes to food and eating. I'm sure you've experienced this before - and definitely when it comes to food and eating.  Acting on urges will not only not serve you in the long-term, but it will also cause your urges to grow even stronger.

For many people, when they feel stressed or anxious or overwhelmed, they turn to food to soothe themselves. Why do they do this, if they know at the end of the day, it's not good for them? The answer has to do with how we think. In this week's episode, I introduce you to the work of Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Daniel Kahneman and his theory on decision-making. Join me this week in learning more about how you make decisions, and how that decision process may be working against you. *If you want to learn how to better handle the everyday emotional situations in your life, click here to sign up for my FREE CLASS to get started!  ** If you'd like to sign up for the "Stop the Urges" Workshop, on Sunday, October 30th click here.

Do you eat more when you feel stressed? Do you eat when you’re not hungry or when you’re full? Do you eat to calm or soothe yourself when you’re feeling sad or disappointed or frustrated or anxious? Do you regularly eat until you feel stuffed? Do you feel powerless or out of control around food? If so, you may consider yourself an emotional eater.

When was the last thing you committed to something, but didn't follow through on? ALL judgments aside! This is not about being perfect, but rather it's about waking up to noticing the excuses you may be making in your life (whether you are aware of them or not) that are holding you back from being the person you truly want to be and living the life you truly want to live. In every moment you have the opportunity to make a choice. It's just that sometimes we make excuses for why we can't show up as our best selves. We all do this... but, why?

When you feel a strong emotion coming on - whether you're feeling anxious, sad, frustrated, or annoyed - it's quite easy to get sucked into holding on to that emotion. Or, as I call it - getting "stuck." But the truth is, with every stuck spot comes a choice. You can get emotionally unstuck from the emotions that tend to hijack you, and NOW is the best time as any to do so.

If you could challenge yourself to do one thing for 90 Days, what would it be? One of the members of my Living Deliberately Circle decided to commit to 90 days of exercising - 20 minutes a day. The journey that she traveled on during this time wasn't necessarily to reach a goal, but rather to strengthen the relationship she has with herself. Tune in to hear Paula's story!

There is an emotional element to everything in life. And that includes eating. As humans, we have a tendency to want to avoid feeling uncomfortable emotions - and that resistance can lead to us numbing our emotions. Some people have a tendency to turn to alcohol or drugs or social media or Netflix to avoid feeling hard feelings. And others turn to food. And I'm one of those people. Emotional (or disordered) eating can lead to serious health problems. Unfortunately, most people turn to dieting before they turn to the root cause of their problems, which is, of course, being able to handle their emotions during everyday emotional situations in their life. In this week's podcast, you will hear my journey with emotional (and disordered) eating and the approach I am taking to resolve it. Click below to tune in. Please consider sharing this important episode with your friends. *And to see how you can learn how to control your emotions IN THE MOMENT so you can get unstuck from everyday emotional situations in your li

Bring to mind with whom you are close - whether that's a spouse, parent, sibling, neighbor, boss, client, or friend. How well do you think you know that person? You may tend to believe you know everything about that person. The problem is, when you live from a place of "all-knowing," you limit the possibilities for that other person. But, when you get CLEAR ahead of time, you stay open to what else may be possible. And in doing so, the people in your life may surprise you! Tune in to learn more.

What if a neighbor comes by your house each day and expects to sit and have coffee with you, but you're not interested? Or what if a family member calls you every day and expects to speak with you at times that aren't good for you? What do you do? The answer can be found in this week's podcast. And the practical part can be experienced in this month's online workshop, The 3-Step Approach to Creating Healthy Boundaries. Contact me via my website (or DM me on Instagram) for details!

Would you say you are a person who: a) reacts automatically to things and makes quick decisions, or b) questions what you see and hear, and takes your mind to respond to things? When we live on autopilot and react quickly to things, it has the potential to get us stuck. But, when we learn to pause and question things (what others say, including what we say to ourselves), we can live more proactively and stop making complaining, blaming, and making excuses for not living our best lives.

Whenever you get stuck on feeling frustrated, disappointed, angry or any other difficult emotion, it's likely because you don't accept the situation. You may not articulate it in that exact way, but it's likely that's what you're actually thinking. Tune in to this week's episode to hear how you get unSTUCK from accepting something you otherwise don't accept. And please share your comments with me over on my website or on Instagram. www.shiragura.com https://www.instagram.com/you.can.handle.anything/  

When someone else is upset or disappointed in you, it is very easy to take things personally. It actually seems natural to take things personally, specifically when you are somehow involved in the conversation or interaction with that other person. And yet, taking things personally is actually a choice. The truth of the matter is, how someone else is reacting, what they are saying, and who they are being, has nothing to do with you. It only has to do with them. I know that may be hard to wrap your head around, but it's true. You can choose to get unSTUCK from taking things personally.
