Do you have a problem in your life that you just can’t seem to resolve? Whatever area it may be, whether it’s a habit, your relationship status, job, or where you live, you may notice the same negative feelings popping up over and over again. Now, what if I told you that you were recreating this problem for yourself?
I’ve got two tools that are seemingly straightforward in helping you break any of your ingrained numbing habits, but it’s going to require lots of practice in order to use them to your advantage. Breaking habituated patterns takes effort because most of the time it’s happening unconsciously, and it often makes us feel anxious when we act against our own will, which is why these tools are going to be challenging but life-changing.
We all indulge in compulsive or numbing behaviors, and I’m going to put it out there now that there’s nothing wrong with any particular activity itself. Today, my goal is to help you see the ways in which these behaviors are actually serving you when you start acknowledging and working on them.
I’m addressing perfectionist fantasies and tomorrow thinking. These two concepts are bound together as a thought pattern cycle that is definitely not serving you, and I’ve seen it in manifest in many areas of my clients’ lives.
Productivity is something pretty much everyone has struggled with at one point or another, and I’m happy to say I’ve got it down because I truly understand what creates it. This week, I’m helping you see why you’re not getting as much done as you’d like and how to deal with the discomfort of having to actually practice focusing in your daily life.
There are times when we know we’re complaining, whether we’re talking about a coworker, a friend, or family member, but there are a lot of times you’re doing it without even noticing. Today, I’m defining what complaining actually is and why you need to stop doing it. I’m outlining the super simple “complaining diet” so that you can start taking actions to reduce this habit for good.
