Episode highlights & Youth Rising Coaching info:
"Self love is the bravest kind of love. It takes courage. It takes patience. It takes forgiveness." -Alli Louthain

1. Self love is a life long journey.
2. It is integral to acknowledge how you are feeling within your body. Because no matter what you are feeling, it is OK.
3. Self acceptance comes with loving every emotion. Hard ask, right?!
4. It helps to imagine the emotion you feel is like a cute dog that wants to nuzzle. Imagine you say “You are welcome here, dog (emotion.)”
5. Befriending your emotions is a huge tool to self acceptance. And it is OK to not ready to be friends with every emotion yet. You may not feel like hugging “a smelly wet dog” but you can still think I love you...I just don’t want to hug you right now. And you can ask, “What is it you need right now?”
6. Because we aren’t intentional with creating a relationship with ourselves we create UN-INTENTIONAL relationships that come from our LIZARD brain (survival mode). “Must just survive.”
7. The difference between therapy and life coaching...think about a number line. ZERO or a ONE is functioning. Therapy helps you struggling on a deeper level (like you were negative on a number line)...coaching helps you move into higher numbers on the number scale by uncovering thoughts that LIZARD BRAIN has been feeding you all these years and trying on new thoughts from an unbiased perspective.

TOOLS to help us SELF LOVE:

#1 Be intentional with creating a relationship with yourself. You have to CHOOSE self-love every day to tap into WIZARD BRAIN instead of LIZARD BRAIN.

#2 Imagine you are your best friend and talk to yourself like you would to your best friend. Am I being kind to myself like I would be to a good friend.

#3 Use the word AND instead of but. THE POWER OF AND....I am feeling anxious AND I love myself.

#4 Choose to welcome emotions and get support from a life coach, a therapist or a counselor to do it! Because ignoring your feelings or resisting them offers RELIEF but that relief is temporary and keeps you stuck.

BOUNDARIES (Part 1): What Are They?
We all struggle with setting healthy boundaries because we are humans experiencing a thousand different exchanges with different circumstances and people. Listening to this podcast once or reading about about boundaries once is not going to be enough to solve all your problems...it needs to be an ongoing conversation and process!
Struggles with boundaries will look different for each of us. Today we talk about four different types of people and how they struggle with setting boundaries. And I will also talk about 6 ways you might be injuring people's boundaries without even realizing it or in a relationship where you are the one being injured in this way.
Bringing more awareness and acknowledgment to boundary problems and injuries are the only way we can move through the hurt, the pain, the discomfort and the dysfunctional cycles and create space for healing and lay the foundation for healthy relationships moving forward.
SO BE REAL WITH YOURSELF.
Listen with an open curious mind...
"Where do I struggle?"
"What ways can I do boundaries better?" and not a...
"I should be ashamed, I am horrible person." or go right to laying on blame and shame. That's not helpful.
Let's learn and grow together!
AND WRITE DOWN YOUR IMPRESSIONS AND THOUGHTS so next week you can start implementing setting healthy boundaries!!
Boundary Problems:
Which resonates with your issues? It might be combination of more than one.

1. Compliants
2. Avoidants
3. Controllers
4. Nonresponsives

Boundary Injuries:
Do you see yourself unconsciously injuring people you love?
Are you in relationships where these injuries are happening to your boundaries?

1. Withdrawal from other's boundaries.
2. Hostility against other's boundaries.
3. Over control.
4. Lack of limits.
5. Inconsistent limits.
6. Trauma.

Envision that your thoughts and emotions are like a building on prime realty. Space is precious and you want to get the most return for your investments. So you are very mindful of who and what you rent out space to in your building.
Sometimes an imbalance happens...one business tries to take over the whole space and another tries to live rent free; sucking your resources without any return...
I am going to list out 10 signs that let you know if a boundary needs to be set to maintain a healthy functioning and thriving building. These emotions arise not because something is bad or good...you might need to set a boundary up with someone you love dearly just as you would with someone you dread sealing with...emotions are just teachers and if one of the following feelings resinates with what you are experiencing today or around a specific relationship, event or circumstance...you know you need to do some boundary work.
The summary of the 10 signs are:
1. You feel burnt out & overwhelmed. You rarely say no.
2. You feel resentful/bitter/angry. You lose your temper. You tend to complain.
3. You feel confused and find it hard to commit and make a decision.
4. You feel powerless. You let people take advantage of you. You struggle knowing who you are and what’s important to you.
5. You feel responsible to do everything. You have a never-ending to-do list.
6. You feel like your needs aren’t as important as other peoples. You struggle to ask for what you need.
7. You feel the need to apologize.
8. You feel responsible for other people’s feelings or you blame others for making YOU feel a certain way.
9. You feel dread that you are going see a person or go to an event etc.
10. You feel the need to escape. You resort to unhealthy coping devices.

Today, I share with you one the most embarrassing experiences of my life.
Why? One, because I hope by being vulnerable, it gives you permission to do the same and let's not take ourselves too seriously.
Two, because the experience immediately came to my mind as I thought about the two words "Not Alone" and there are many parallels to be found in it! Things got so much worse for me because I was too embarrassed to ask for help immediately and in my panic I lost my way.
Thoughts are powerful. When we think, "I am alone." We are flooded with all kinds of toxic emotions that move us to further isolation and feelings of loneliness.
Acknowledge what you are going through without judgement.
Name what you are thinking and how it is making you feel.
Start to identify thoughts that are keeping you stuck...and begin to let go...

• ...of comparison
• ...of supposed to
• ...of shame and embarrassment
• ...of judgment and critism
• ...over overwhelm
• ...of bitterness
• ...of being right
• ...of things you can not control
• ...of timelines

As we let go of "sticky" thoughts we create space for healing...the key is to fill that space up with light, love and laughter...
“Laughter, song, and dance create emotional and spiritual connection; they remind us of the one thing that truly matters when we are searching for comfort, celebration, inspiration, or healing: We are not alone.” -- Brené Brown
LOOK for ways to bring connection into your life and you will see evidence of how not alone you are!
"The irony of loneliness is we all feel it at the same time -- together.” -- Rupi Kaur

So let's start getting better at being honest with ourselves and others, break the silence and heal with hope together!

My guest today is Parker Ferguson, who is entering his third season in the NFL, now as a member of the Denver Broncos as an Offensive Lineman. He is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and a Hoosier native, graduating from Center Grove High School. Parker learned about yoga his rookie year in the league along side several other teammates when he was playing for the New York Jets.
Parker is such a cool guy and I am grateful y'all get to hear about NFL life and how he has seen the physical and mental benefits of yoga as an NFL player.
Only a couple spots left! Mother/Daughter Retreat to Prince Edward Island

EPSIODE NOTES:

Highlight of playing in NFL:
-Living a childhood dream! Plus the focus and attention to detail of training and nutrition that is provided.
Lowlight of playing for NFL:
-Not guaranteed job security and so much of whether you stay or not isn't in your control.
Insight of playing in NFL:
-Most professional athletes aren't millionaires.
-It's important to be a well rounded as a person when you are an athlete.
-Enjoy where you are at in life right now. Squeeze every ounce of opportunity, luck, love etc out and live life to the fullest because you do not know when it will change.
How yoga helps an NFL player:

• Yoga is a tool in training.
• Helps you let go of the intrinsic stress you hold in your life and in your body
• It's a safe space for an emotional release. It can be a therapy tool.
• It regenerates physical body so you decrease risk of injury
• It opens up ankles and hips-which is a huge issue for athletes, especially big dudes like Parker.
• It feels amazing!! It cuts down on stiffness, aches and pains.
• Yoga helps you feel lighter on your feet.
• Yoga helps you become more mobile.
• Yoga benefits the mind...and it may time weeks or months to start seeing that.
• It helps block out distractions (noise, self doubt, neg or positive thoughts that take away from performance).
• It helps to have an instructor talk you through the mental so you can focus and relax like being a passenger in a car.

TIPS:

• Yoga will help you get to where you want to be...so don’t wait to lose a few pounds to start or think you have to act a certain way or think a certain way before trying it.
• Find a class that feels right to you; Where you like the vibe and it feels welcoming.
• Don't be intimidated. There will be all different body types and everyone was a beginner at some point.
• Use props like blocks and blankets to help you feel comfortable in the poses.

INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH (MENTAL- SPIRITUAL - EMOTIONAL) TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
