This one is for people pleasers. A reminder to say what you need to say. In a world where “likes” are a barometer for whether or not we are showing up in an acceptable way, we try to please, attract and impress as many people as we can, and then live in fear that someone won’t approve or respond in the way we had hoped or expected them to. We’ve gotten so good at dividing ourselves into smaller and smaller pieces, that we end up stretched thin, pleasing no one, with an empty tank. Life is way too short to try and please everyone.

Stop people pleasing and say what you need to say; life is too short to try and please everyone in a world where likes determine acceptability.

Dealing with Difficult Emotions

This simple breathing practice is ancient, our ancestors discovered that the key to calming the mind and body is longer exhalations. Neuroscience later discovered that when your exhale is longer than your inhale, the vagus nerve (running from the neck down through the diaphragm) sends a signal to your brain to turn up your parasympathetic nervous system and turn down your sympathetic nervous system. In other words when your exhalations are longer than your inhalations you move the nervous system into a calm state rather than a state which is ready to react to any perceived threat. Awesome!

Longer exhalations activate the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the mind and body; an ancient practice confirmed by neuroscience.

Or seek to mine the challenge for the good that inherently is within each and every single challenge. To allow for the latter, we are wise to lean into these powerful questions to make us open and available to catch the gift and the blessing of transformation to reveal itself so that we may grow through our challenges with ease and grace.

When faced with challenges, we have a choice to either be a victim or find the good. Powerful questions can help us grow through challenges with ease.
