Self-Restriction Friction

01/19/21 • 16 min

Continuing from last week's exploration into the science behind rules, in this episode, we dive into self-restriction. Self-restriction is a common method we like to use to force ourselves to get results. The problem is, it often doesn't get the results we want.
We'll look at how and why when we set rules for ourselves from a place of shame or negativity, instead of love, the results we desire often elude us.
More reasons to be kind to ourselves, yes, please! You can get those dreams of yours with the right kind of action, especially when it comes to action within yourself. You've got this!

When Rules Suck

Rules can feel right, or wrong, perhaps even like a necessary evil, and sometimes incredibly restrictive that it can have negative mental and physical effects on you.
In this episode we peek into the science behind rules; why they need to exist, and why we sometimes have less than awesome reactions to them.
I give you insight and tools to reduce the stress you may be holding when feeling restricted, and encourage you to give yourself permission to be authentically you (as safely as possible please!) within any rules put upon you. Life can feel full closed in, but you can navigate with more calm and self-assuredness. You got this!
