You Can Choose in 2021
01/07/21 • 18 min
As moms with families in crisis, resolutions are pretty much the last thing on our minds. We don't have to be left out of choosing with intention though. A coaching tool I learned and teach to my clients is the keep, start, and stop method. Three things you get to choose. What do you want to keep doing in your life that is nurturing to you, moms? What is one new thing that you want to try? What's something you are doing that is not useful or helpful and you want to stop doing? Putting our brain to the task of choosing just one thing to keep doing, one new thing to start doing, and one little thing to stop doing gives us a better chance of choosing meaninful actions for our life. The most important part of all - trusting ourselves that we know what we want and giving ourselves permission to choose.

The Crisis Cycle
Knowing that our family's crisis has phases that have a progression, and that we have some control over the phases that come before and after any crisis can ease our minds a bit. In this episode, I show you how to recognize the characteristics of each of these phases and how to use your self-awareness so you do not get stuck in crisis-mode. As we often do on the podcast, we also identify what is in our control so we can focus our energy there, to show up as our best, in crisis mode or not.

The Thought Cycle
Our thoughts create our emotions. It sounds so simple and not that exciting but this is a HUGE concept that when applied to our daily lives is a game changer. On this episode I introduce this brilliant idea, share where I learned it (Brooke Castillo), and then we use it with a real life example to illustrate for you how simple but powerful this concept is. I also teach how it is first an awareness tool but also reveals predictable outcomes when used properly.
