Bliss Beyond F.E.A.R.

Our caller Melinda is battling self-doubt. She is specifically working through her battle with weight loss where in her heart she believes she can make positive strides, but her head is telling her otherwise. How can Melinda productively process her self-doubt to gain confidence in her ability to lose weight? Let’s process!

Some of the highlights from our discussion are:

• Distance yourself from those who come from a place of judgement
• Surround yourself with people who support your dreams and aspirations
• You are the story you tell yourself and you have the power to change your story
• You become what you believe, and you act accordingly
• Name your self-doubt, call it out, and turn it into power that can fuel you
• Manifest what you want by changing the words you tell yourself
• Write down your self-limiting beliefs and recognize that they are self-inflicted
• Saying that you can’t means saying that you won’t which ultimately means that you don’t want to
• Write affirmations and put them in places that you will see them
• Speak what you want into existence; say it out loud and repeat it!
• Play music that shifts you into uplifted energy
• Be gracious with yourself and the journey you are on
• Be open-minded, accept that change is hard, and commit to being consistent
• Have an accountability partner who you can trust and will push you in the pursuit of your goals
• Join a group who is striving for similar goals as you to build further reinforcement
• Leverage resources like YouTube, podcasts, and books for encouragement and support

Quote to remember: “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” – Mahatma Gandhi

We are back to wrap up our discussion around the question “how do I manage a negative and stressful friendship” from one of our callers who as a reminder, wants to share her observations with a long-time friend but is afraid to hurt her feelings. You guessed it, it’s time to get down to action and empower our listener to manage her friendship productively!

In this episode, we’ll discuss our viewpoint on what a challenging friendship looks like – the DRAINER philosophy:

• Discriminate – exudes judgement and is self-centered causing others to shut down
• Resentful – shows up as being jealous and holds on to past bad experiences
• Anxiety – provokes feelings of stress, uneasiness, and concern
• Inconsiderate – disrespects the time and priorities of others
• Negative – stays in a place of complaint and a victim mentality
• Exhausting – depletes energy from others
• Resistant to change – does not have a willingness to learn or do anything differently

An extreme DRAINER can be a BAITER (backstabber, abuser, imposter, taker, exploiter, and reckless). Be aware of people who have selfish tendencies, are deceitful, consistently manipulate, and are not trustworthy. These are folks to dismiss from your life!

Pay attention to patterns over time and the reciprocity in the relationship. Is value being added in both directions?

What are some recommendations to manage a tough friendship?

• Limit the time you spend with a DRAINER (create space and distance)
• Meet in a group setting vs. 1:1 so the attention is not centered on one person (hopefully!)
• Have a crucial conversation and be vulnerable when you provide honest feedback
• Consider journaling to track your feelings, their patterns and behaviors, and any changes
• Provide positive reinforcement for improved behavior
• Keep SAVERS around you who support, align, add value, elevate, and rise with you
