Cuppa Chels

In today's episode, I am sharing about a few things I love, and why I feel it's soooo important to surround ourselves with loving energy.

I also get into the Podcast's recent name change from Chasing Curiosity with Chels to Cuppa Chels. ✌🏼

I discuss the new book, Rebel's Apothecary by Jenny Sansouci, which is totally piquing my curiosity because it taps into the health benefits of medicinal mushrooms and cannabis. If you haven't heard of this book....do yourself a favor and be sure to get a copy!

Also, I talk about how I create a loving feeling throughout my home and through my practices. These include decorating, books, journaling, oracle cards, meditation, gratitude and keeping my promise of no alcohol. *You can hear more about my no alcohol journey on episode #15 - Why I Don't Drink Anymore.

Filling your life with love starts with a choice to fill your cup first. Choose to see the good.

There is sooo much love and goodness wrapped in today's episode and I can't wait to hear what you like about it!

In the spirit of February and Valentine's soon approaching, I wanted to talk about relationships.

I have kissed a few frogs in my day before finding my prince. I have had plenty of heartaches, lost myself, been in an abusive relationship before finding the man who I now call my husband.

What I believe makes my marriage work is that we have a SOLID foundation! You can't build a house on a faulty foundation and expect it to last.

Our foundation is built on a strong faith in Christ. We share the same core values and beliefs. And...we are best friends! I love being around him.

With any relationship, whether a marriage, friendship, working relationship...it is my belief that you need to share similar core values and set a solid foundation in order for it to work well.

Some great tools that have helped me/us:

1. The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. How we receive love is also how we extend love. Knowing your love language and your partner's love language allows you to speak it fully!

2. Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs shares the study that women desire to feel loved, while men desire to feel respected. This was a game-changer for me! I highly recommend this book and here's a great YouTube video to check out as well.

3. The Seven Principles for Making a Marriage Work by Dr. John Gottman. The Gottman Method is used by many counselors and therapists.

4. The Rise Together Podcast by Dave and Rachel Hollis is such a great listen. You're sure to be entertained and get some amazing value from this couple's vulnerability in sharing their relationship ups and downs.

I get asked a lot, "how do you stay sooo positive?" and "you can't always be in a good mood."

Truthfully, no I am not "always" in a positive mood...but 90% of the time...I am! It comes naturally to me, and for those moments/days when it doesn't, I know it won't last long.

Some things that help me;

1. Checking in with my emotions. Asking myself how I am feeling, and allowing myself to feel whatever it is, without judgment.

2. Practicing gratitude for all of the goodness in my life. This should come from your heart, but it's also a skill that takes time if you're not in the practice already. So reach for things to be thankful for, list them out (preferably written) and focus on all of the abundance in your life, not the lack.

3. Affirmations work every time! Get uncomfortable saying them aloud to the point of being cheesy...and tell me you don't feel the slightest bit better! No matter what...you will come out of it smiling and setting these affirmations into your subconscious to raise your vibes!

4. Remember a key principle: LOVE = Truth & Fear = Lies. It's as simple as remembering that loving thoughts, actions, intentions are all true and from God. Any fearful thought, worry, anxiety is all an illusion and these lies are trying to derail you from living in love.

5. Connect with God, Source, the Universe...whatever you chose to call it...connect with Spirit and remove your ego! Being in nature does that for me...every. single. time!

I pray this helps, and please share a screen shot of you listening to this episode so that others can learn how to stay positive as well!
