Being Transparent: I Was a HOT Mess | PA14

I have to be transparent with everyone, I’ve fallen off the rocker the last month. I have this repetitive pattern that comes up to get me every now and then, and it dragged me down really hard over the holidays. I’ve battled ADHD, anxiety, and depression on and off over the last 30 years. I’m human just like you, and I have good days and bad days. Sometimes my bad days can turn into multiple weeks. It’s about recognizing the behaviors and learning from mistakes and coming out on top in the end. With a little grace, compassion, and determination you can overcome anything.

In today's episode, we'll be learning about:

·      FULL TRANSPARENCY: It's ok not to be ok

·      TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: Fully embodying how you feel, not just physically but emotionally.

·      PUT YOUR OXYGEN MASK ON FIRST: It's essential to take care of yourself before others. Don't put yourself on the back burner.

·      GET LOST: It's easy to fall victim to getting stuck in your head in stories and problems. Remembering to step back and be the observer looking in at yourself can help pull you out.

·      WE ARE HUMAN: We make mistakes, have hard times, and get stuck in our stories. It's easy to forget we're not robots.

·      RECOGNIZE: gaining awareness around habits and patterns that no longer serve you is step one.

·      ACCEPTANCE: Accepting your current reality will help you process the emotions and struggles that have come up for you over time.

·      MOVING THROUGH: Allow yourself to process what cards you’ve been dealt. Sit with yourself, and journal how you feel to let go and move through to integrate and step into a newer, brighter version of yourself.
