Smooth Stones-Find Yourself after Miscarriage, Stillbirth or Babyloss

So many of us who have been through a loss can find that there are certain things that trigger big emotional reactions. We end up wanting to eat all the chocolate, crawl in bed and just cry for days. But there comes a point where that just doesn't work anymore.

In today's episode I am teaching you how to become trigger proof. What this means is you are able to look at your most common triggers and learn how to neutralize them so they don't affect you any more. I explain the steps to do this which are: Recognize, neutralize, question your story and then have confidence that you can heal and move forward no matter what you've been through.

Whether your triggers are related to your miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of your infant, these tools are going to change the way you look at what you are capable of.

Today we are talking about Manuals, the unwritten rules that we have about the people in our lives. We want them to follow these rules so that we can feel how we want to feel.

Unfortunately it doesn't, work, because...humans are terrible at doing what we think they should!

We're going to discuss what manuals are, give some examples and answer some common questions.

Recognizing and dropping these manuals is some of the best work you can do for you and your relationships.

Today's episode explains why it is so important to feel our feelings. Feelings are what drive us to do anything we do, and we also avoid many things because of how we think they will make us feel.

Learning how to allow emotion gives us so much power over our lives.

I'm going to teach you a few ways to really allow the emotions, positive and negative, that arise.

So many of us find that we are avoiding our negative emotions by buffering. Buffering is eating, drinking, shopping, scrolling or anything we do to distract ourselves from what is really happening inside of us. There is always a negative consequence to these behaviors.

To be able to change this and really live an authentic life, we have to recognize it and then choose to stop. When we stop, all the negative emotions will still be there, but we will be ready for them. We are strong. We are confident. We can live our best lives.

What if we could learn to love them, just as they are?

Join me on this episode as we learn new ways to deal with the difficult people in our lives, without them having to change at all.
