Health Harmony & Happiness with Cathy

Setting intentions is like gathering the seeds of hope for what you want your life to look, sound and feel like. You consciously gather them all up and decide it's time to plant them, then you put your trust in something greater than yourself to contribute in making them happen, no matter what that might look like.
This is the first of a 4-part series on the phases of your Energetic Rhythms. Each week I'll give you a little more insight into what happens in each phase and how you can use that phase to help you feel at ease and flow with your time, energy and focus even when unexpected things come up.

Using your energetic rhythms means you are using your body's rhythms and the moon's cycle to get stuff done so that you are flowing with life instead of feeling like you're constantly living life on the verge of burnout or cycling between burnout and feeling comfortable with life.
Setting intentions is the first step in doing just that...allowing yourself to recognize where you are and where you want to be instead then deciding to live in a way that aligns with that hope or intention. It is NOT goal-setting or making a to-do list of things to get done, but rather a way of deciding to practice living in a different way.

Comparison = Inadequacy {no matter what}.
When you start down the path of living more intentionally to avoid burnout, it can be tough to shed things that have felt so "normal" for so long. Like the hustle to "keep up with the Jones's."
You may have urges to try harder even when you know you know your body wants to slow down. You can feel super inadequate at times because the world around you isn't necessarily slowing down...but you have made the conscious choice, set the intention even, to begin to use another source for informing your life instead of comparison.
Enter: your inner guidance--the higher knowing or voice of God within you calling you to act.
Why comparison and trying to "keep up with the Jones'" is actually one of the fastest ways to burnout, but that it's still part of the journey no matter what phase of it you're on.

In this episode, my guest James Reagan of the How We Feel Project, and I talk about emotional intelligence and what it means to your health, harmony, and happiness, and how using a simple app can help you identify, understand and articulate your emotions rather than ignore them.

Emotional intelligence gives us the ability to read our instinctive feelings and those of others. It allows us to understand and label emotions as well as express and regulate them.
We show you how using a simple app can help you

1. Identify, understand, and articulate your emotions rather than ignore them
2. Implement strategies to become your best self even in tough moments
3. Begin to recognize patterns in how you're feeling
4. Deepen social connection with those closest to you while doing so.

Feeling stuck is a good indicator that something needs to be released from your life. Yet when it regularly feels like the chaos of running kids, making sure they're fed and bathed while also taking care of the household and your relationship with your spouse (and hopefully even yourself) dictates your life, it may make the thought of letting go of anything seem impossible.
Which is why it's essential to carve out time in your schedule to actually focus on the task of letting go.
In this episode, you'll learn:

1. Why releasing is essential to your action-taking nature
2. How to know when it's time to release something
3. What a releasing ritual is
4. How to create your own releasing ritual

In your life releasing might look like getting rid of physical things that are cluttering up your home environment or digital clutter on your device or in your inbox, or it might look like mental clutter that's taking up precious real estate in your big beautiful mind.
Just like physical clutter can make you feel more chaotic, stressed or contracted, mental and emotional clutter can do the same.
You don't have to live with the mental and emotional clutter anymore.

And when you are able to let go of whatever is stuck in your brain, you experience freedom and flow...and it's beautiful!
A releasing ritual or ceremony helps you place intention around whatever it is you want or need to let go of in life.

Want to know how to use the energy that comes with spring to your advantage so that that feeling of exhaustion you get from going 100 mph, 100% of the time starts to lift?

In this episode, I'll share with you:

1. What the rhythm of spring represents.
2. How the energy of spring might show up in your life.
3. Three ways to invite the rhythm of spring into your life.
4. The one thing you need to remember to do to use the energy to your benefit.

The shift into spring offers up another opportunity for us to celebrate our rhythms and remember to use them to our advantage. Each seasonal shift we experience, just like the lunar shifts and personal cyclical shifts, allows us to not only practice transitioning form one thing to another, but also removes some of the pressure we might place on ourselves because of self-imposed or others' expectations if we place intention around those transitions.
